43
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: my opinion, like projects that I consider personal classics like

44
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: for me, but this project feels like some of these

45
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: names you got on the same song songs have never

46
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: been on songs together, and they're like the biggest of

47
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: the big Like this album feels like I know it's

48
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: not your debut album. I know it's not in any

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: means your debut, but it feels like like like your

50
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: biggest moment is like still still to come. Like yeah,

51
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: absolutely man. And I feel like the more the more

52
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: I created with this album, Like the further along I

53
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: got into the album, I was like, all right, there's something,

54
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: there's something happening here, you know what I mean, Like

55
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: just the songs we were able to create together and stuff.

56
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: It was just like a different experience. Even creating it

57
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: was different this time. I really took my time you

58
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: know normally. I'm just like, you know, well it's been

59
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: a few years, man, because Immigrant came out in twenty eighteen,

60
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: and that was your last project. Yeah, that was the

61
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: last one. That's insane. Yeah, what what made you take

62
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: so much time off? I want to say off, but

63
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: take so much time to work on a body of work.

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: I guess honestly, it wasn't all working on this project.

65
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: First was working on me. Yeah. I was gonna say

66
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to get into that because I know you

67
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: went through some depression and ship the last few years,

68
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: and it was like it was it was like deeper

69
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: than that, you know what I mean, Like you know

70
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: they put titles on things we go through, you know

71
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: what I mean. But yeah, I was I was just

72
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: I was just in a position where I had been

73
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: in the game for so long. I kind of experienced

74
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, the ups and the downs of the game,

75
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean, everything the kind of

76
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: you know feel and I don't know, man, just got

77
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: to a point where I was like, it's all I've

78
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: ever done, Like I got I want to I want

79
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: to just sit down and just see what what my

80
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, my brain comes up with, you know, what

81
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, And really it was it was like an

82
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: investment in myself because I didn't really work or at

83
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: least like you know, working away like where like money

84
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: was coming in all the time, like it was right,

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: I had to like block that, uh you know that

86
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: financial fucking yeah, because you're always motivated by the bags,

87
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like, yo, when you

88
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: have so much money coming in and and that you

89
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: kind of have that mental expectation in your head, like

90
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's hard a hard thing to turn off. Yeah,

91
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: but it was like it was at a point where

92
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: it was like, cool, I could I could die right

93
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: now with however much money in the bank, and then

94
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: you have your residual money coming in anyway from publishing

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: and music and all that. But yeah, but I mean,

96
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: you know when when you when when you sit down,

97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: like like the career that I was blessed enough to build, right,

98
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: it sustained a lifestyle that I was blessed enough to live.

99
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: And then when you cut that, you really realize how crazy, uh,

100
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, spending habits just just just just the way

101
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: I was living was just crazy, you know what I mean.

102
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: So it was it was a good time for me

103
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: to just sit down and just like reassess everything and

104
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: uh and like really see, I was like, you know

105
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: how they say like let you know, let the bird

106
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: go and it comes back. DMX said that, and that's

107
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: all I remember. DMX said that if you love something,

108
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: let it go. Yeah. In facts, that's really facts, because

109
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: like I was like, yo, you know what if this

110
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: is if this is really for me the way I

111
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: know it's for me deep down the side, but that

112
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: don't matter right now. Like if it's really for me,

113
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: then something will draw me back to this and and

114
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna feel better about

115
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: it than the first time I ever did it, you

116
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So as far as music, music, yeah, yeah,

117
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: so so that's that's how music started to feel like

118
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: like you started to feel like work before the break,

119
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: before the hiatus, you know, yeah, job absolutely. And it

120
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: wasn't like I was, you know, being told like do

121
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: this or do it was just going in the studio

122
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: was just like all right, like you know like what

123
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: now you know what I mean? And you know it

124
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: just it just it was It was the best thing,

125
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: I think, the smartest thing I ever did in my

126
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: life was to just sit down for a second and

127
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: just take a breath and just you know, figure things out.

128
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: What was that motivation initially where you you came to

129
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: a point where you were like I gotta do this,

130
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: like I gotta it was? It was it were you

131
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: just overwhelmed? Like was there a breaking point where you

132
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: were like if I keep going down this path, I

133
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: might go crazy or something. What was it? I think

134
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: I was just like so focused on all the negative

135
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: things that were going on in my life, you know

136
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. And it was a lot of things.

137
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: It was things on a family level, right, things on

138
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, obviously financial levels and all everything. You know,

139
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: there was a lot of things going on with my

140
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: career everything. So I think I think like when I

141
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: initially when I wanted to step back and you know,

142
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: really take the break, it wasn't like a decision I made.

143
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: It was I just can't go there right now, you

144
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They like, oh, there's this this

145
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: thing going on or this event or this session or whatever.

146
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: I just can't. I can't go there right now. I

147
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: can't Like I wouldn't even I would be doing you

148
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: with the service if I showed up in this state,

149
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: like I'm not I'm no good to nobody right now.

150
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: I just need to go somewhere and just figure my

151
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: life out, you know what I mean. So that's what

152
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: I did. It wasn't like a specific moment. It was

153
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: just like me just just being so repelled by the

154
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: other ship that I just wanted to get away from it,

155
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,360

Speaker 1: do what they do with the highest level, you know

165
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,840

00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,680

172
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: honestly the album deserves it because it's like those are

173
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: the things that inspire me. When I watch someone put

174
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: together a masterpiece like that and I got front rod,

175
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, seats to the show, like that's that's inspired.

176
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: Those are some of the moments that made me be like, yo, yeah,

177
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: you know what I do. I do love this. There's

178

180
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: Nothing else can make me feel like this. So those

181
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,400

203
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: like like last month or something that. Yeah, absolutely, man.

204
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: You had to go to New York to meet her family.

205
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. When I met the family, amazing people. Man.

206
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, it just showed me. You know,

207
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: like when you look at somebody's family and they're that good,

208
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, I know exactly where you came from.

209
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: And if I remember correctly, you're saying your girls Catholic

210
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: or her family's Catholic, and you're obviously from a Muslim background, right,

211
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: so when you went out there, you tell me the

212
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: story about you gifted her parents something you had to

213
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: go get a statue somewhere. Yeah, I mean it wasn't

214
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: don't have to it was but no, but but but

215
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: but you got you know, you went out there to

216
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: make an impression obviously, as we all have, you know

217
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, man, I

218
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: went out there, and honestly, I was. I was nervous

219
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: because other times and other points in my life when

220
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: this situation would arise, like with you know, previous relationships

221
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: and or whatever, man, I would I would show up

222
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: to the house and they would, man, they would go

223
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: in you know what I mean, like they would I

224
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: would be in an interrogation room basically, right, you know.

225
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: And and so I think this time I was like

226
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: mad nervous, you know. I wanted to make sure I

227
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: did everything right. And uh, you know, I went bought

228
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: the gift obviously, I bought some wine, and I went

229
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: to the crib. And mind you, I don't I don't

230
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: really get nervous over a lot, you know what I mean, Like,

231
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: it really takes a lot to get me nervous. I

232
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: was damn there shaking, you know. But from the first moment, man,

233
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: like the door open, you know, her Pops was just

234
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: like open arms invited me in. It was it was

235
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: for me, it was a new experience. I've never I've

236
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: never had that happen. Yeah, yeah, you know, so it

237
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: was it was just really dope to have to have

238
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: like that type of like welcoming response and just really

239
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: really good people. Are you? Uh is this because obviously

240
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, being belly, being somebody who's uh your your

241
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: your wraps are extremely uh descriptive when it comes to

242
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: women and ship. You know what I'm saying is, uh

243
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: is how hard is it for you to like like

244
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: like make a conscious decision to be like, you know what,

245
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: I found the one? Like it was that because I

246
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: think we've all been in situations where we are we

247
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: think we're in love, but I think a lot of

248
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: it's lust, right, But to really find that one person

249
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: and I just got married a couple of years ago,

250
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: it's like it just feels different, man like and like

251
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: you could again you have a that's the best thing

252
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: in the world, though, Yeah, it's really the best thing, Like,

253
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, from me, I think when I when I

254
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: found that, I wasn't looking for it, and that was

255
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: the best. That's the best part about it. Best part

256
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: about it. It's like I don't think she was neither.

257
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just it just happened. And I

258
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: think that's like, I know it sounds cliche and all that,

259
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: but that's really me and my wife. Like I didn't.

260
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: I was no. I got out of a real shitty

261
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: uh not married with a relationship with my son's mom.

262
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: It was terrible, and I was like, all right, finally

263
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm free. I'm gonna just get it out. It's good.

264
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: Yo yo yo, yo yo, all right. But I was

265
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: like ready to just take down. I was ready to

266
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: catch some bodies in these streets. And then I'm her

267
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: and I connected and I was like, damn, look at this.

268
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: I was not expecting this ship. That's really how it be, man,

269
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: And like I'm I'm over all that other ship, like

270
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: I said, like the like the like the life quote

271
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: unquot Yeah, like I think you know we've lived that ship. Man,

272
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: it should turn me off so much that I walked

273
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: away from the game. Like that's like that whole ship

274
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: I think comes with so much baggage and like of

275
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: course evil shit around it. Like I just it was

276
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: a good thing for me to leave all of it.

277
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: And then on top of that. Just having somebody like

278
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: Dina in my life like she was, it was like

279
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: an important moment for me to meet her, go into

280
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: my next like where you were in life like she

281
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: kind of Yeah, I feel important man, like she really

282
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: even when I was down on my you know, my worst, like,

00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: And you know it's a blessing, bro. Like I that

285
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: to me is one of the best things, if not

286
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: the best thing that ever happened to me, is you know,

287
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: locking down with one person, having one person that I

288
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: know got my back and I got hers. That's amazing. Bro.

289
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: Why is the album called See You Next Wednesday? Man?

290
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: So I, Man, I go down rabbit holes with ship,

291
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So I with movies and

292
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: all that. Of course, John Landis he directed like thriller,

293
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: bunch of hit movies in the early nineties, and he

294
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: would always sneak that into his movies. I See You

295
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: Next Wednesday would be like a billboard or like a thriller.

296
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: When Michael Jackson gets up to walk out of the theater,

297
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: you hear the voice whisper see you Next Wednesday in

298
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: the background. That was like his Easter egg and got

299
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: a lot of his movies, right, So I thought that

300
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: was cool. Just just like that, I was just like, oh,

301
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: as dope as hell, like I'll just you know, I

302
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: want to pay homage to John Landis, you know what

303
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean. And I dug deeper obviously the rabbit hole,

304
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you'd be high as fuck

305
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: just trying to find out more. And finally I got

306
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: to the to the to the gist of the whole

307
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: thing is that was the first script that he wrote

308
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: and it never got made right, and that in that

309
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: position that I was in in that moment, it was

310
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: It was crazy because when I read that, I was like,

311
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: I I know why, this is like kind of call

312
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: on my name, you know what I mean? Because the

313
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: way the dots connected it, it just felt like the

314
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: same thing I was going through it, like I'm making

315
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: some shit right now. I don't even know if it's

316
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: going to see the light of day. I don't know

317
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna come back to let it see the

318
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: light of day, you know what I mean. So when

319
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: you were working on this project, you were just working

320
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: on it for you. You were working on it like

321
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: to turn it into your label or to like, yo,

322
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: this is a hit, or you know now you were

323
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: just working. Yeah, it was honestly for me, it was

324
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: like getting in there and testing and challenging myself to

325
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, what you did yesterday sucked. Like I

326
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: had to like really just give myself talks because you know,

327
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: like I said, it was like relearning all of this shit.

328
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: You know, you walk away from it for so long.

329
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: It was always my outlet, like my way to like

330
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: say things and all that, you know, So it was

331
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: really hard to not have that anymore, to be going

332
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: through shit that I want to talk about and I

333
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: want to be able to put in songs. But it's

334
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: just the way my brain is taking it. It's not

335
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: letting me, you know what I mean. It's not letting

336
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: me put nothing on paper. I can't think of nothing

337
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: witty to say around these things, or nothing poetic to

338
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: say around these things. It was just too black and

339
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: white in my head for me, you know what I mean.

340
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: So I think it was like a challenge to myself

341
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: to get in there every day and be like I

342
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: fuck that, Like I'm I gotta break this wall and

343
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: like do what I do, you know, just you know,

344
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: it's really what I do best, you know, so day

345
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: by day I really just had to just build myself

346
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: back up, and you know, God blessed the album ended

347
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: up being what it was. But really, if it didn't

348
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: go there and I wasn't as proud as I am

349
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: of this project, then that really would have been my

350
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: see you next Wednesday, John Landa Style. Yeah, I think

351
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: you and I might have even had like I think

352
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: we each when I said that was my favorite songer Like,

353
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: that's crazy because that was my favorite. So I'm trying

354
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: to remember what the name of it was. I don't

355
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: want to give away if it wasn't any it wasn't

356
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: a record with a big feature, though it might have

357
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: been something to do with the devil or demons or something.

358
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: Was Is there a record light? I'm trying to think

359
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: there was some some man, the album is crazy, But

360
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: I feel like on this project you definitely touch on

361
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: a lot of personal ship that you've You've always kind

362
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: of grazed over a lot of your personal life, like

363
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: ship with your pop stuff like that. Like I feel

364
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: like on this project, like you really dive into some

365
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: some issues that you know you've gone through and ship

366
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: like talk about there's your journey with with with drugs

367
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: and ship, because that's something that you've always been very

368
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: upfront about, whether it's get like being super loaded on ship,

369
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: getting clean or et cetera. Like where how are you

370
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: doing now? You know when it comes to obviously we're

371
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: not talking about weed and ship, you know what I

372
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: mean when it comes to the other ship. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

373
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: I quite like quote unquote hard drugs right right, right

374
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: right quit a couple of years ago. Hard liquor too.

375
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't drink hard liquor no more so you don't

376
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: you when you say hard liquor, so you're not drinking tequila.

377
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: You're just just just wine wine, maybe like maybe sak

378
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: sometimes I stuff like that. But it's just like wead

379
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: wine and psychedelics for you know, you were talking me

380
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: and you had a conversation about psychedelics, but right before

381
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: you came out and you said you were thinking about

382
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: writing a book or you're gonna write a psychedelic inspired book, right, absolutely, yeah,

383
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: what's it? What's it gonna be called? How psychedelics saved

384
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: my life? Tell me how they saved your life? Man? Well,

385
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: I think again the rabbit hole, Yes, I started reading

386
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of literature about just dosing,

387
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: what different doses could do for you, and it just

388
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: all depends on the effect that you want, you know

389
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: what I mean. So I started microdosing in the middle

390
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: of wow ship that was going on. Of course, of

391
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: course I started microdosing. And I'm not gonna say like, oh,

392
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: it was like this magical fucking just wake up and

393
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: everything is you know, chipper. It was like slowly over time,

394
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: like I started to gain a little more clarity and uh,

395
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: you know it just it just kind of helped me

396
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: find not even like a happiness, but it just helped

397
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: me find like like the like the beauty and a

398
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: lot of ship, you know what I mean. Like I'd

399
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: go outside and like, damn, that's a that's a fucking

400
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: beautiful flower, you know right. I would have never stopped before,

401
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: you know, So I just I don't know, it just

402
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: and I was microdosing. So it wasn't like making me

403
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: like a loose. Yeah, it was just like kind of

404
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: just uplifting my days, you know, when it was going on.

405
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: And I think you know, from there that was like

406
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: LSD microdosing and water and then now I do shroom

407
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: tea most of the time. Yeah, see, I've never done

408
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: the shroom tea. So how much would you put in

409
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: the tea? Like, because it depends really like depends on

410
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 1: what kind of day you're trying to Yeah, Like I

411
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: like a light vibe. Like I might put a half

412
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: a quarter, okay, to the whole pot, which is like,

413
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, six probably six tea bags and that right there.

414
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: Like if you want to get fucked up, you still

415
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: can if you drink all of it more than a

416
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: few glasses, you know what I'm saying, Like, you'll definitely

417
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: get fucked up. But I just sip as slow. I'll

418
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: be in the studio work and creating ship and I

419
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: sip it slow, and it's just it's like a it's

420
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: like a different type of vibe. Man. It's just it's

421
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: like like it helps my brain in different types of ways.

422
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: So when you say psychedelics save your life, you would

423
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: you say, because I for people who don't know. I

424
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't understand like the therapeutic

425
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: benefits of of shrooms and even M D M A

426
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, in certain instances. But but

427
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: is that would you consider like your experience with psychedelics

428
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: to be therapeutic. Absolutely, it didn't used to be, right,

429
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: It used to be more probably recreational, right it used

430
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: to be Yeah, it was, it was creational. And it's

431
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: like I was sitting in between where like the positive

432
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: effects would you know, it's like the hero dose, which

433
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: is all all I mean, yeah, it's gonna make you

434
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: discover yourself. And then there's the microdose, which is you

435
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: know for your mental health, right, you know, just just

436
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: like again, if you microdose, you can have a productive day,

437
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: go to work, you can you know, do all that

438
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: sho have a more productive day. Yes, that's I think

439
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: that's why people do it. Yeah, so you haven't done

440
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: the hero dose yet because I remember we talked and

441
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: you were saying that you want to do it, but

442
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: but you're not ready yet. Yeah, it's got to get

443
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's still like coming out the dark space.

444
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: I want to be fully out before because that's something

445
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: that's something that's like serious. That's that's man, it's for me.

446
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: You look, shrooms never really sat well with me. Ah

447
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: when I was younger, like when we were taking shrooms recreationally,

448
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: like I used to bat trip like all the time. Wow,

449
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: what I mean like and I don't want to say

450
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: like bad, so you know, overused. I mean, just like

451
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, that uncomfortable kind of dark feeling, it turned

452
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: into a fucking burning movie, you know for sure. Like

453
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: that's that's how a lot of my trips started to

454
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: feel like. You know, so I think shrooms. My love

455
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: for shrooms came back when I started microdosing shrooms and

456
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: making tea and stuff like that, because I was like, Okay,

457
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: this is the dose that my body appreciates, right, this

458
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: is what this is exactly what I like, you know

459
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: what I mean. And it's been like I said, man,

460
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: it's been therapeutic, life changing. Since have you dabbled in

461
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 1: in DMT yet, it's very crackheadish. I mean you literally

462
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: smoke it out of a crack pipe. So just if

463
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: you ever decided to do that, I'm definitely not You're

464
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: gonna dispend anything out of a crack pipe. You're going

465
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: to disappear for fifteen minutes, You're gone. Yeah, I've heard.

466
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of my friends have done it,

467
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, and and stuff like that. But that ship

468
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: and then the other ship is the Ayahuashka, which is

469
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: like a but that you you got to do with

470
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: the shaman go to Costa Rica, you know, I mean,

471
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,760

00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: Man just tweeted this the other day. He was like,

475
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: we're not doing uh pills no more, only shrooms. He

476
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: was like the first rapper in that kind of space

477
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: that I saw kind of say that, you know what

478
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,639

Speaker 1: these kids are so fucking you know, perked out fentanyl

480
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: and all this ship and it's like, man, I think

481
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: I think shrooms has gotta be the next wave. Bro. Man,

482
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 1: that ship is all them pills and all them opioids

483
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: and all that shit is so garbage, man, Yeah, so garbage.

484
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: It's just dangerous. Just I feel like you're gambling with

485
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: your life every time you do it because you don't

486
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: know what the fuck you're getting. It's it's like, it's

487
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: it's a sad thing to see, bro for real, because

488
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, you only you only hear one time. It

489
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: just takes one bad pill take you off the map.

490
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: You only hear once, man, what was the worst experience

491
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: you had with drugs man, where maybe like you were like, damn,

492
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: like this shit, Really I got to reconsider what the

493
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: fuck I got going on over here. I had a

494
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: bad situation happened to me a couple of times, but

495
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: the one that always comes to mind is that I

496
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: was in New York. You know, I was like going

497
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: through a breakup at the time. You know, shit was

498
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: just just felt, you know, for me. A lot of

499
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: times when I get in them dark spaces, I just

500
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: feel like the world is all against me. Everybody's against

501
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: me everything, you know what I mean. Yeah, so I

502
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: just sat in my hotel room, I answered the phone,

503
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: and I just got high, bro, like whatever I could

504
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: get my hands on. I was just like trying to

505
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: escape whatever my reality was at that time. Then I

506
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: woke up on the bathroom floor. Yeah wow, like all right,

507
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: here was bruised. I guess I had fallen, you know

508
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: what I mean, ship And that was like that was

509
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: like the awakening, That's the beginning of the end. I

510
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't quit there. I didn't because I was,

511
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, still messed up, you know what I mean.

512
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it's also a lot if you're on

513
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: that ship regularly, people don't understand how hard it is.

514
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: You just like to quit cold turkey off. Some of

515
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: that ship is not healthy. Yeah, to be honest, you know,

516
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: but I'm glad man. I grew a lot. I think

517
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: I'm the type of person I got to experience things.

518
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: I gotta like, you can tell me a thousand times

519
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: with something might do. The stove is hot, the stove

520
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: is hot, you go fight. You got cool? Yeah, you're right,

521
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, Like that's how I am. So you know,

522
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: it was a blessing in disguise that really showed me

523
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: everything that I never want to be. That's some real ship,

524
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: I think. I think too, Like like you said, like

525
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: we we I mean, especially you and I probably similar

526
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: in age. We kind of came up in a different

527
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: era of socially when it came to some of those drugs,

528
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: and I think it became so like it's so accepted

529
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: to get into certain drugs that if it was the nineties,

530
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: people would like clown you for And like you said,

531
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: like you know, you go through a situation like that,

532
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: it really makes you look at yourself and be like, damn,

533
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: I I if I was looking at me from another

534
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: person's body, but look at this fucking guy like that's

535
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: really what it is. And honestly that's see I approach

536
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: life like outwardly like that, because you know, people will

537
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: be like, oh, Yo, don't you know, don't don't get

538
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: around this person or this style. This guy's a bad

539
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Yo, you could learn what not to

540
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: be from somebody and it could be equally as important

541
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: as learning what to be from somebody else, you know

542
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: what I mean? And I had to learn what I

543
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: didn't want to fuck be, you know. That was that

544
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: was that moment and looking at me like yo, to say,

545
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't like this for myself. I wanted a shout

546
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: out to to the homies, the La Leakers, because I

547
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: feel like you've you just did three for three on

548
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: the freestyle Brothers. Yeah, that first one was so crazy,

549
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: I felt because that first one happened after the Flex one.

550
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: That I thought was that that was after the Flex one, right, Yeah,

551
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: when Flex did his top freestyles and you put you

552
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: in there after it was the fucking weirdess shit ever

553
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress, but Yo, you you came that

554
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: that that first Leakers freestyle was so crazy because I

555
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: know Hove was a fan of it, and there were

556
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: so many like I feel like that kind of woke

557
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people up as far as like, Yo,

558
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: who the fuck is this guy, Belly Who? I mean,

559
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: obviously people didn't know who you were already, but like,

560
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: how important was that first freestyle to like just everything

561
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: for you? You know what I mean? Because I felt

562
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: like it really kind of puts you in a whole

563
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: nother space. Yeah, I agree, that really had more of

564
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: an effect than some of my you know, biggest songs

565
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: or like singles right that were out. So I go back.

566
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: I probably listen to that thing twice a month. Man,

567
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm forced to listen to it. I still get tagged

568
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: in that freestyle every day, you know, hero villain. This

569
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: is all perspective, no false elections. Yeah, but yeah, it did.

570
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: It did a lot for me, man, It really changed

571
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: my life. And I think the dopest part about it

572
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: for me was what it did just amongst my peers,

573
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, mm hmm, because a lot of a lot

574
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: of you know, colleagues of people in the game that

575
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: I know or work with or just vibe with whatever,

576
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, we know of each other's talents, you know

577
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I don't think a lot of

578
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: even like my own friends or peers knew you had

579
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: it like that, knew I was going to go in

580
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: there and do that, you know, So I think, you know,

581
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: it just it just like gave me like this new

582
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: found kind of like perspective or gave other people like

583
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: a new right people who weren't already tapped in. Yeah,

584
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: for sure. So I think that was like the dopest part. Yeah,

585
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: was that because that freestyle came out in was it

586
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen? I think it was twenty eighteen? Was it

587
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: was it earlier? Was it twenty seventeen? Was earlier than that?

588
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: It was maybe twenty seventeen there, twenty seventeen, probably because

589
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: after that you did mumble Rap, I feel like, and

590
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: Mumble Rap was like, I think, a project that doesn't

591
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: get talked about it enough because it was just bars.

592
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it was like you know, it was it

593
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: was something I had to do. Man at that point.

594
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: I think at that point, not a lot of people

595
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: were putting out projects like that, like I feel like now,

596
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: especially because of what you know, Griselda did and you know,

597
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: came back or literally just put They stumped the fucking

598
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: game out with this ship, you know what I mean.

599
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: So I feel like now everybody's really inclined to want to,

600
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, put out rap music and come back to

601
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: the bars. And you know, yeah, I think what happened

602
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: too because I think, you know, Griselda has been actively

603
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: around that time, they were active, you know. I just

604
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: think that I think that what was dope about the

605
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: pandemic And obviously Griselda was on fire before the pandemic,

606
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: but I think it just kind of made people listen

607
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: to music differently because they weren't standing on couches anymore.

608
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: They had to listen in their car at home or

609
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: in their headphones. So I think if you like, look

610
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: at the Best Rap Album category from the Grammys last year,

611
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: it's like us a lot. It's a lot of just

612
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: bars in this motherfucker. So I think, you know, guys

613
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: like Freddie Gibbs and for Rayster five nine and all

614
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: these guys who have been putting in work. I just

615
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: think it was like last year was such a good

616
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: year for real. I'm not talking about them like now

617
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: now we know Freddy and of course no, I didn't

618
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: know they're gonna put out some rap shit. I'm talking

619
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: about people that we wouldn't expect to put out rap

620
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: ship right now, right right, being like Yo, you know,

621
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: like like shit I could rap, you know what I'm saying,

622
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: trying to and trying to do something that maybe three

623
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: or four years ago they would have even tried. You

624
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Oh, that's for sure. I think

625
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: like that shift is kind of like evident now. No,

626
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: I think so too, and I think it's been It's

661
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: like rapping up on a song with Nas, because that

662
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: is scary. Yeah, that's got to be scary, right, you know,

663
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: like obviously it's a fucking one of the biggest honors

664
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: of my life of course ship, you know what I mean.

665
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: It's somebody that I've learned from and respected and looked

666
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: up to, you know, half my life. So but scary, man,

667
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: it's like, I hope not just don't watch me on

668
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: this ship, you know what I mean. That's that's really

669
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: how I felt. And my verse was there was already

670
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: done time I sent it, you know, So you're you

671
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: had to send your verse in like because some people will,

672
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, they might get the NAS verse back and

673
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: they might revisit their verse. That's that's that's against the rules. Okay, yeah,

674
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: so that's the unwritten rules. But some people do that.

675
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: Shout out to memory llll did that on the four

676
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: three two one joint, and that's how the whole cannabis

677
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: shit happened. Oh I didn't even know that. Yeah, but nah.

678
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: So so when you got NAS's verse back, where you like,

679
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: I held my own. I mean, man, I'm I'm I'm

680
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: just I'm just glad he did what he did on it. Man,

681
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: he killed that ship. And I think for me, it's

682
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: always I think it's gonna cut through no matter what,

683
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: because it's like a personal verse, you know what I mean.

684
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: It's it's like some real I talk about some real things,

685
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: and I think that's always gonna cut through, you know

686
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. People are always going to feel that

687
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: type of thing. So, first time The Weekend and NOAs

688
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: have done a record together. Yeah, amazing. What is Able's

689
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: influence on the album? Like? How? How? Because I know

690
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: you guys are very close obviously he's on the project

691
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: a lot. But as far as just like like when

692
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: he hear like, does he give you notes? Does he

693
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: give you his thoughts? You know what I'm saying? Hell yeah,

694
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: Hell yeah. Bro. He's he's super involved, man. Like I

695
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: can't say enough about that dude. Bro, Like with everything

696
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: that he's done as an artist, bro, Like what he's

697
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: done as a person and just for like the people

698
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: around them, and you know, just the just the blessings

699
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: that he's that he's been able to bestow on different

700
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: people and just the world in general and just help

701
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: and all that like it's to me, it far exceeds

702
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: even when he's done musically top tier. No, he seems

703
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: to be like just from like an outside perspective. Obviously

704
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm cool with you and Manny and sounding those guys,

705
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: but like he seems to be like probably like one

706
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: of the exceptions when we think of just like people

707
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: who made it that big that are just like loyalist.

708
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: Fuck you know what I'm saying. And he's just he's

709
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: just himself twenty four hours a day, like you're not

710
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: gonna knock him off his axis. Like he's himself. He's

711
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: always going to be that no matter what. That's why

712
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: you know he doesn't get weird. He'll never be like

713
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: that movie type of artist ever. Yeah, you'll see him

714
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: at like like you'll see him at random ship and

715
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: you'll be like, oh, the weekends, he's for the people, man, Yeah,

716
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: I trust me. Yeah, No, it's crazy. You have some

717
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: writing credits, like obviously with I want to say, someone

718
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: just told me that they looked at the writing credits

719
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: on Blinding Lights and you you have you have credits

720
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: on that record. Yeah, I do you know, like with

721
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: that stuff. I'm sure you've heard me say this before too.

722
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: You know, like I never like to go into the

723
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: songwriting stuff for like what I you know, what people

724
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: see credits on right, because like that can mean a

725
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: bunch of different things, by the way. Yeah, like and

726
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: not only that, it's like especially with somebody like you know,

727
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: The Weekend or like a lot of the people I

728
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: work with, which is the type of artist I love

729
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: to work with, are people that create their own world.

730
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: They create these songs and then you know, Abel's pen

731
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: is crazy ridiculous, like the guy could write his ass off,

732
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So for me, it's just

733
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like a blessing to me to

734
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: be like, yo, ship you want to you know, you

735
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: want the fact you're contributed. Like yeah, like like I'm I'm,

736
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: I'm exactly, I'm. I feel just blessed that, uh that

737
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, different artists feel like I could compliment to

738
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: something they already got, you know what I mean? Yeah,

739
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: because I feel like you know, for me to you know,

740
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: give give a record or whatever. You know, it could

741
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: be a demo. You can get a demo and might

742
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: like it and you might record it. And I've had

743
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: songs you know, go like that. But like the artists

744
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: that I really love to work with. It's like I'm

745
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: really coming in collaborative effort, and it's like it's something

746
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: that's already there, you know what I mean. It's it's

747
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: it's like something that the artist has had such a

748
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: great vision for already, you know. Like I said, like,

749
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: those are the type of people that I like to

750
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: work with. No, that is crazy because that record is

751
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: like obviously when the biggest songs in the last twenty

752
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: five years, but it's also a record that was so

753
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 1: brave because it just felt like the eighties. It felt

754
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: like it felt like something like we jumped in a

755
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: time machine and it was like it's like such a

756
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: nostalgic record, but it's also like a current pop hit

757
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, Like and then the whole album had

758
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: that heartbeat for sure when you heard like like when

759
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: you first heard that record, like prior to whatever you contributed,

760
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: like like did you feel like, oh shit, this is

761
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: because it's legit. I mean, I think it might be

762
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: the biggest song of the last five years at least.

763
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, it just lived in the top

764
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: ten on Billboard. I'm just I'm just proud that we

766
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,239

767
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, Man, That's what I'm saying. Like the

768
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: fact that I could look around and you know, see

769
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: guys that have known for at least a decade all

770
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: around me, and everybody successful at what they do, everybody's happy.

771
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: That's that's the great feeling in the world. That's like,

772
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, other than individual wins of course,

773
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: which of course, like you know, you got to feel

774
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: good about, but regardless, man, just being able to look

775
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: around at the FAMI and see everybody in a good position, Bro,

776
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:17,319

777
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about that has obviously

778
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: had escalated since I saw you last. I saw you

779

Speaker 1: people overseas in Palestine, and I've tried to do my

782
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: best to educate myself on a very complicated situation. But

783
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: I think that you know, me and you had kind

784
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: of spoke about like how it's like it could be

785
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure it could be frustrating because It's like, I

786
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: feel like there's only so much you could say before

787
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: people try to like label you some shit that you're not. Like,

788
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: you could be very critical of government, of countries, of

789
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, without being somebody who's criticizing a whole people. Absolutely,

809
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: I was bringing up you know, what's going on in

810
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: Palestine in Gaza. It's a complicated situation, but it's also

811
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: really like on a human level aspect, it doesn't seem

812
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: very complicated. Yeah, I don't. I don't think it's it's

813
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: very complicated. You know for Palestinians, it's been a struggle

814
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: for a long time, and it's like this this like

815
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: cycle keeps repeating over and over, you know what I mean.

816
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: It's like it's hard to see real change happen when

817
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: people aren't being told, you know, the whole story about

818
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: what's really happening over there, you know what I mean.

819
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: And again, you know, like I really feel like it

820
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: comes down to it comes down the people having to

821
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: hold their governments accountable, and that's I think that's the

822
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: only way we could change, you know, the status quo.

823
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: The way they even perceive us and look at us

824
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: and stuff like that is like, you know, it's it's

825
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: dehumanizing at the end of the day. It's like, uh,

826
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, Palestinian people some of the most resilient people

827
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: in the world, of course, gone through some of the

828
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: worst atrocities, and all anyone's asking for that, anyone that's

829
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: speaking out, all anyone's asking for is some compassion, some compassion,

830
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: some human rights, and you know, not not to see

831
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: the situation through bias eyes, to actually just look and

832
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: do the proper research and then you can come up

833
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: with your own answer. You know. Yeah, I mean from

834
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: what I've gathered is like obviously what transpired during Ramadan?

835
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: How that like like you know, I spoke to my

836
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: friend Adam Rice, who's Jewish and his parents go to

837
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: Israel every single year, and he was like, we're wrong

838
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: in this thing, man, Like what did like like, why

839
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: would you do that to those people during their holiest

840
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: time and expect like things like you know what I mean,

841
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: Like like nobody like wouldever think to do that and

842
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: expect anything good to happen of it, you know what

843
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: I mean? And even Peter Rosenberg, who you know, again

844
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: is obviously a Jewish man, you know what I mean.

845
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: Me and Peter talked about it pretty extensively, and he

846
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: kind of mirrored the same thoughts, you know, And I

847
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: think it kind of comes down to, like you said,

848
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: holding your government accountable in the same way that if

849
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's a piece of shit and somebody from fucking

850
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: Europe is like, man, Donald Trump's a piece of shit.

851
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean the Americans are pieces of shit. It

852
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: means that, yo, you know. And I've heard that the

853
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: guy who and again I'm not like the craziest like

854
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: as far as like who's like being educated on the

855
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: ins and outs of of the government in Israel, But

856
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: I've heard from people who I trust that like, yo,

857
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: essentially the guy who's running shit in Israel is like

858
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: their version of Trump, like hardcore right wing, like crazy,

859
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: like crazy Neo Khan type ass motherfucker. So it's just rough, man,

860
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: because like you see some of these images of these

861
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: people and it's like, dude, like this, I mean, his

862
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: his his own government is holding him accountable and he

863
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: just got ousted from his position a few days ago.

864
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: See I didn't know that. Yeah, you know, he's on

865
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: corruption charges, being accused of bribery. It's all kinds. This

866
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: is not a it's not a favorable human you know

867
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's it's easy to see how

868
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: somebody like that could really, you know, put poison the well. Yeah,

869
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: And I think to what people have to understand too,

870
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: And this I've always said this about America, like just

871
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: in general, Like, yo, like, if you're what do you

872
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: expect to happen if you're like imagine if you're a

873
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: kid in Gaza, right and somebody bombed the building you

874
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: live in, and let's say you lost your mom, Like,

875
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: what do you expect that kid to grow up feeling about?

876
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's almost like it's a

877
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: cycle that will never end until it ends. Yeah, I

878
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: mean you know, to me, I feel like it's just

879
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to come down to people just just looking

880
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: at it as a human issue. Politics on the side.

881
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's civilians, kids dying, you know, and

882
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: the thing that the thing about the whole you know,

883
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna hunt a specific militia or whatever, right, and

884
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: it's like I'm all for it. You want to go,

885
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: uh find some some criminals or whatever the case is.

886
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: And not in that particular situation. I'm talking just in

887
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: general vaguely. Yeah, you know, but you shouldn't be killing

888
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: civilians to go get to the people that you're mad

889
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: at for killing civilians, Like it doesn't make any sense.

890
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: There's got to be a better way to approach all

891
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: of this, which is also what happened with the United States,

892
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: like Obama and the drones. And I mean, this shit

893
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: is like happened so much where it's like, Yo, at

894
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: what point in time is getting the bad guy where

895
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: it's killing a bunch of innocent kids, you know what

896
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: I mean? Like this is crazy because again it's like

897
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: who suffers? Bro? Yeah, and then and then and then

898
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: it's almost like the psycho gets hit on repeat because

899
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: imagine I can only imagine if I grew up somewhere

900
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: and someone my my parents or my sister died or

901
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: my best friend died, like how I would feel about

902
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: whoever the fuck did that for the rest of my

903
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: life and it's like it's just never you know, It's

904
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: just it's almost like the gang shit, you know what

905
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Like we always talk I'll talk to the homies,

906
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: who are you know, gang bangers out here? And like

907
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: I'll be like, yo, like what is the Like, how's

908
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: the violence? He's like, how are you going to tell

909
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: somebody to not turn up on that crew when they

910
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: they they took their brother a cousin? Well, you know

911
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's it's it's like what it's like

912
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: you said, it's got to be a human rights thing, man,

913
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: And I think unfortunately I wish like our government would

914
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: have stepped in and done more. But like you said earlier,

915
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: it's like that politics shit comes into play again once

916
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: you throw all that politics bullshit you know, out the window.

917
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: And that's why I wish we had Bernie man and

918
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: you just stop and you have some you fucked with Bernie, right, Yeah,

919
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: I thought. I think Bernie is like the illest motherfucker,

920
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: like he should have been on President bro. Bernie's great man.

921
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: He's Jewish right like, and he don't give a fuck

922
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: Like he's like, Yo, it's about human rights, but this

923
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: thing ain't about this. The thing is it's not about

924
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: being Jewish, right, No, but you know what, you're right

925
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: and we know that and we can have that conversation.

926
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: But the Internet and Twitter and it's like you're either

927
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: there or you're here. There's no in the middle. Bro.

00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: you've been an independent artist for a very long time

964
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: before you were fucking with XO. You've you were you know,

965
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: I remember seeing your name for a long time. I

966
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 1: remember I think you had a record with the game,

967
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: and you've been doing your thing for a minute. Obviously,

968
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: coming into the XO fold, I didn't have a record

969
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: with the game. Was a snoop. I had two records.

970
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: It was snoop. It wasn't the game. It was snoop. Yeah,

971
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 1: me and game never worked together. No, it was snoop. Yeah, okay,

972
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: yeah it was snoop. I was was it a snoop

973
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: of the game? I was gonna say snoopid first? But uh,

974
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: you come out with XO, you have a smash record,

975
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: like might not with with with with the weekend? Having

976
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: a record like that, is it like a gift in

977
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: a curse? I mean, obviously it's a gift more than anything.

978
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 1: But like that's such a big song, like it's it's

979
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: I mean, did you find yourself ever chasing that record

980
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: like at any point in time? No way that happens

981
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: sometimes when you come because honestly for me and my

982
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: background of what I come from, right like like I

983
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: let songs go all the time, you know, so I

984
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: have no personal attachment to records. And what that did

985
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: for me, like the mentality that it built inside of me,

986
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: was I could do this again? Like I don't. I'm

987
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: not gonna be married to the song. If if this

988
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: person as a vessel could push this song further than

989
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: I can, who the might a stand in my own way,

990
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That came from guess what,

991
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: wake up tomorrow and I make another one. It doesn't

992
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: have to be that right or something that dope, you

993
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think sometimes that happens tho,

994
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: where I see artists like that, they come out swinging

995
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: with such a big song and they almost get like

996
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: lost in the sauce of that record. Nah. For me,

997
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm happy we got might not and I'm

998
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: happy it did what it did. And the sound is

999
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: video was crazy, video was crazy, all that. But that's

1000
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: that's that's its moment. You know. I'll never try to

1001
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: recreate that moment again. You'll never get that moment again.

1002
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: Talk about your relationship with Nipsey Man. I'm Nipsey's somebody

1003
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 1: who you know, I was close with since about nine.

1004
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: One of the greats you're on arguably one of the

1005
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: best songs on Victory Lap. You know here, I know,

1006

1011
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: like just like two three weeks and then knowing NIP,

1012
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: I felt like I knew him for like ten years, right.

1013
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: He was that kind of guy for sure. Yeah, And

1014
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: like he would pull up to the house, you know,

1015
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: he would come through with Slow shout out the Slow

Speaker 1: want to, you know, not like he wouldn't want to,

1020
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: but he wouldn't even play his records. He'd just be like,

1021
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: let me hear what you're working on. I thought that

1022

00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: a fan in it. It wasn't just from when we met.

1030
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: Before we met, I was a fan of him so

1031
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: I made sure I let that be known, you know,

Speaker 1: and being friends and all that, I let people know

1034
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: the the level this guy was on was different, you

00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like it was it was something

1036
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: special to see somebody like that come around and double up,

1037
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 1: Like was that something that was pretty much like done?

1051
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: on it? Ever? I had a verse on the song.

1052
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: It was funny because that was when I first got

1053
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: that fucking victory lap on Spotify. That was the first

1054
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: song I went to and I was so disappointed that

1055
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: you didn't rap on I mean, you did your think

1056
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: on it, but I was like, I was like, oh,

1057
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: Belly and Nip. That part that Nip ended up using

1058
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,760
Speaker 1: throughout the song that was that was like my outro

1059
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: after the verse. So that was like, you know, that's

1060
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: how I kind of ended my verse. And but it

1061
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: was it was. It was long as ship, man, So

1062
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: it's a it's a long song currently, That's what I'm saying.

1063
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: The song is to be like seven minutes and forty

1064
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: five seconds. I never I was never like, damn, why

1065
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: why didn't you keep you know, I was just happy

1066
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: to be part of it. That project was a classic

1067
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: to me. The first time I heard it, I was like,

1068
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: this ship, this ship is a masterpiece. You know, in

1069
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: our world, that's a masterpiece right there. Man. Yeah, I

1070
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: think we get one of those albums like every few

1071
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: years where we're like, yo, just to live forever, you

1072
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I think I think your

1073
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: album might be one of those, man. You know what

1074
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Man, thank you. I hope so Bro, Like

1075
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, I make this ship between four walls. I

1076
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: think I told you this when you came you know,

1077
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: because you were one of the first people that came

1078
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: through and listened to the full length mastered versions of

1079
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: the songs. You know, I think I told you that,

1080
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: like you had your producers locked in, your guys are there.

1081
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: It's hard because you make shit between four walls and

1082
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: it's like you're the only opinion that's on it, you

1083
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So sometimes things feel personal to

1084
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: you for certain reasons, but you know you're being biased

1085
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: because again it's your song. It's like, no, but I

1086
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: said this and that ship resident it doesn't matter. None

1087
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: of that matters. Now when you leave the four walls

1088
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: and you know, people like yourself come through and listen,

1089
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: that shit is really nerve racking to me because I'm like,

1090
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: nobody's heard this ship yet, Like I don't know until now,

1091
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: I still get like butterflies about it, and I don't know,

1092
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 1: like you know, I still get like kind of nervous

1093
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: about it. Before I play the music for the first

1094
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: time for people, you know what I mean, and we

1095
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: have no idea when it's coming out yet. Probably before

1096
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: the end of the summer, was assuming I mean you yeah,

1097
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: I think probably towards July. When's the beginning of the summer.

1098
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: We're in the summer right now. I was just in

00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,960

1103
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: out there, maybe hero does. Maybe just let go. Man,

1104
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: it's a lot. It's a lot, man, Man, there it

Speaker 1: be doing some weed shit soon. The book hopeful. So

1107
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: this book that you're gonna write, this is like like

1108
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: you're going through with this for sure. This is like

1109
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: something where yeah, yeah, I'm like the book. It's not

1110
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: one book too. I got a few ideas. This is

1111
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: just the one that I'm like most confident with because

1112
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: this is like something that I just this is the

1113
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: era that I'm just coming through now, so everything's still

1114
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: fresh in my mind. I can talk about it and

1115
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: talk about all the benefits that I had from it.

1116
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: So you know what's crazy, because you're such a movie buff,

1117
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: would you ever consider like like and you're such a

1118
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: great writer. Would you ever consider like writing fucking screenplays? Yeah,

1119
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: I would love to, Man, I just feel like it's

1120
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: like not my area of expertise. So you know, I

1121
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: would want somebody to just kind of show me the ropes,

1122
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: you know. And I always feel like that, like it's

1123
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: just good for somebody that is in that world that

1124
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: knows the little ins and outs and just the little

1125
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: things that people look for. Like you said, you're gonna

1126
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: do this book with like an author right where you

1127
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: just kind of some kind of shit, right, Yeah, I'm

1128
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, like I could write, man, but I'm not

1129
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna sit there and write a book. It's just not

1130
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: gonna happen. No yet. No race is too fast. Yeah,

1131
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, so it's a good way to do it.

1132
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: I just get the writer there and then I go

1133
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: on my little rants and before you know it, man,

1134
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: we got books. You know what I mean? Because this

1135
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: is real shit that I went through. So when I

1136
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,479
Speaker 1: talk about it, I can talk about it clearly every time.

1137
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: This is all ship that's still freshened my mind, that

1138
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: affected me, you know in big ways. So have you decided? Uh,

1139
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think when I engage my wife, we

1140
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: got married like inside of two years. I was like, Yo,

1141
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to be one of these fucking guys

1142
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: who's engaged for fucking five years and everyone's asking what

1143
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: the fucking wedding is. I was like, We've tried to

1144
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: figure this shit out as fast as possible. Have you

1145
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: have you thought about like where you guys want to

1146
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: get married? Yet we want to get married at the house, man,

1147
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, at our house, and I think you have

1148
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 1: told me that, Yeah, that's when we want to get married,

1149
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: Like we all this, you know, big extravagant, crazy shit

1150
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: like I just want to make sure all our loved

1151
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: ones are there. And it also kind of weeds out

1152
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: like having an invite too many people, cause you could

1153
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: be like, yo, you know, we're doing it at the house.

1154
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: It's small, it's private, it's cozy. Yeah, because if you

1155
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: if you, if you get like the big venue and

1156
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: you don't invite like every rapper friends you have, you

1157
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, especially like just all the random

1158
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: industry people, you know, it's like, no, no, we did

1159
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: it at the house. It was private. If you have

1174
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't think I'll ever retire if I

1175
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: don't get that one. It's funny. Yeah, Benny said the

1176
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: same ship. He's like, he's like yeah, He's like and

1177
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: he's signed, you know, I mean obviously your rock Nation

1178
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: as well. But it's like he's almost like Betty's such

1179
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: a big J fan. He's like, I don't feel like

1180
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: I ever feel accomplished until I get that song. Yeah,

1181
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: I feel the same way. Like you notice, man, Like

1182
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: when I write my raps, I always pretend like he's

1183
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: is getting ready to grade me. You know what I mean?

1184
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: What's your favorite J album? That's tough, man, That's tough

1185
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: obviously a reasonable doubt for me, it's reasonable doubt. That's

1186
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: just because that was my introduction. Yeah, I mean so,

1187
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: I think that his most slept on album though, And

1188
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: I think people don't give this album enough love because

1189
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: there's some bullshit on it. It's Blueprint too. I love

1190
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: Blueprint too. That song Meet the Parents, He's like one

1191
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: of the best storytelling songs of all time. Like, whenever

1192
01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: I like tell people like I'm like, yo, go to

1193
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: fucking Blueprint too, press play on Meet the Parents and

1194
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: like listen to it five times in a row. It's

1195
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: like a Quentin Tarantino movie on wax. Yeah he's different, man,

1196
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: I hope has been different. He's been different, bro. Yeah,

1197
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: I hope's that dude. Man. Yeah, he's literally the blueprint.

1198
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: That's why it made so much sense to cause out

1199
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: in that because he's literally the blueprint for the epitome

1200
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: of what a rap life should look like. Somebody that

1201
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: came up in the streets and turned to rap, turn

1202
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: into a mold. The way, the business, the everything man,

1203
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: every aspect of his life. You know what I mean.

1204
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: He's literally the epitome of what all of us should

1205
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,680
