We talking about the one, the only 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:09.600 motherfucker car, the eight car. It's you know, it was 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.720 very interesting going through the discography and I'm listening to 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.760 Locked Up right because when I googled you, one of 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.720 the things that popped up was they said you was 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:24.760 a professional card and you kind of set it on 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.920 Locked Up just now said you said my car is. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:36.200 Ain't gonna registration. You know you were. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.280 But because when when you google you, that's actually something 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.959 that comes up that says that, yeah, I believe you 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.840 said it on a different platform. So you used to 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.359 this is a new Jersey imagine. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.639 New Jersey drive drive. 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.440 So what happened? Someone come up to you and say, 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:59.160 let's just because because you're a sophisticated car still like 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.360 you wasn't like popping ship. You was changing the serial numbers. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:03.520 And she's like that is that true? 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:05.400 It was a. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.280 Just expect that every time. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:18.560 How did that happen? 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.960 Well, getting back to the past, it was like I 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.800 was never the kind of person when it came to 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.359 some you know what's interesting, Like I think I say 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.120 the word that I was. I kind of used the 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.000 excuse that I was surviving because it made me feel 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:33.680 better about it. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:35.600 But that was nothing for me to about. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.840 It was nothing really for me to survive because my 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.960 parents was actually really wealthy. You know, we lived like 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:43.760 I was, and I was living in Jersey. We lived 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.080 in a three story house, just me and my older brother, 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.840 you know what I'm saying, So we have a house 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.360 to ourselves now when I think about it, we were 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.080 just bored as hell looking at something, you know what 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.480 I'm saying. But what was interesting was as I started 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.320 watching a lot of my homies, you know, they selling 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:05.920 drugs and I didn't understand, like, why such hard labor 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.240 for no money? These niggas would be like on a 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:13.400 corner rain seat, sleek hell Snow. I was born in 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.919 Senegue in St. Louis Louis, Saint Louis, but then I 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.160 was raising Senegal. 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:18.680 Raised, Yeah, I was. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:18.960 I was. 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.040 Were you there when I was a Senegalgue from birth? 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.160 What was borron in Senegalue? I mean Saint Louis shipped Senegal. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.200 Then when I was about seven and eight, that's when 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.159 my mom and pop brought us back to the States 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:32.640 to go to school, and every summer we would go 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:33.480 back to Senegalue. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.719 Wow, So he wanted to pretty much, my dad just 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.160 wanted to make sure he was all born in the US. 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:37.280 You know. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:38.719 He's always fought with thinking since then. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:40.240 He wanted to have a US pastor. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.640 Yeah, he wanted us to be a citizen so we 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.680 would never have immigration issues. So he was always thinking 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.640 about the future, you. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:46.120 Know what I mean. 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:47.880 So when I came here, just it was just a 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.839 matter of adopting. And I think a lot of my 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.279 choices came from just wanting to be a you know, 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.279 accepted amongst the crowd. So that's how I got caught into, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.400 you know, all the things that I got caught into, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.040 including cars, because cars made me feel special. 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.880 You know, I was young. I can drive into the 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.800 most elite vehicles. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.840 And then I read with the you know, the scenarrative 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.080 that I was an African prince, you know what I'm saying. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.800 So he was using that back then. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:21.600 Yeah, after coming to America, Yeah, you know what I'm saying, 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.040 that's a motivator. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.160 Yeah, I was working at this barber shop man, and 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.040 you know, I met this Jamaican dude that was like yo, 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.560 you know, you know, he was in the cars and 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:31.760 I was like, man, every time I see you in 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.800 a different car. And one day he's like a rude boy, 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.240 let me show you something, you know. He took me 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.120 to the spot, took me. 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:36.840 I was like wow. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.200 I was mesmerized, and I was like how much of these? 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.560 He was like twenty five hundred dollars apiece? I said 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.080 what how is that? And he showed me the whole layout, 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.280 and before you know it, I just copied and paste and. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:50.679 You know what I'm saying. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.320 So now, yeah, well, now like literally every other month 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.040 now I would come to school in a different car 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.520 and they was like yo where you know. I was like, heah, 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.720 I'm an African print and they believe it because of 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.960 the weapon I was driving. And so then I said, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.320 this could be something, you know, that I can actually 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.760 make a career out of. Now that's how I'm thinking 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.800 back then. So I was just trying to figure out 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.880 the best way to do it. Then that's when Atlanta 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.520 hit me because I was getting out of high school, graduating. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.520 My mops and my mom's in Atlanta because my dad 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.120 was a professor doing culture exchange at Clark Atlanta University. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.560 And that's when they just had the Olympics going over 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.320 there with Freaknick and everything, you know what I'm saying. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.160 So when I went out there, I saw all these 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:34.599 just young black just really successful black people. I ain't 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.080 seen that many black people successful in one city since New. 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.840 York, you know what I'm saying. It was even Africa. 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.919 Well nah, because I wasn't there long enough to understand 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.200 what that was at that time, you know. So, but 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:47.760 so that was just different. But I saw a lot 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.280 of new athletes coming out, a lot of artists out there, 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.200 and then everybody was driving. So I was like, this 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.880 could be the spot you know. So that's where I 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.040 just set up shop in Atlanta. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.599 Driving it was looking for it. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.680 I'm like, y'all paying three Well, at that time, one 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.600 hundred one hundred fifty thousand was probably the emotional pay 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.720 for a car, but those was even the super high 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.600 line because at that time even ninety thousand dollars was 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:12.520 a lot for a Porsche. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:13.560 You know what I'm saying. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.000 So if I can get it to you for like 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.720 ten grand, you know you. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.760 Was legit into that? Oh no, I was. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.840 It wasn't like a past sign for a teenager to day, 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:21.080 it was. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:21.200 No. 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.320 It became a real It became a real occupation for 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.840 me because I started finding ins and outs, like most 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.360 people will go out jack people for cars, and then 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.360 of course me, it was always the biggest profit for 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.880 the less jail time. So I started studying the law 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.880 and I realized, man, joy riding charge is a misdemeanor. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:38.880 You get out the same day. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:39.480 Wow. 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.640 But the only way you can get hit for a 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.520 joy riding charge you actually have to have the key. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.480 So if you actually have the key in the car, 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:46.480 it's considered. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.360 The joy riding. So I was like, if I can 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:53.960 just get for kees a car exactly secrets other people 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:55.800 still tell you. 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.360 Now the stuff back then you can't even do it today. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.200 Now you got a navigation, you got on all you 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.080 got cars on your phone, you could track your vehicle. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.880 So it's like, you know, so the so the crazy part. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.040 So what I ended up doing was I started going 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.000 to the dealership and start peeling keys and pretty much 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.600 what that means, like, you know, you're just going if 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.200 you see a key on the table, you just grab that, 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.440 bad boy, go to the bathroom, hit the click, see 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.760 which one opens up, and if the car light up, 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:20.400 jump in and. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:21.920 Pull out right at the dealer. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.400 At the dealership, because you understand, car dealerships is mad 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:26.360 busy all the time. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.000 They're not even thinking about it. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:30.360 They see you in a car pull out, I think, 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.560 do you think you test driving or something? Well, you 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.320 might have just purchasedtomer. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:36.440 So after a. 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.959 While they start seeing my face come through all the time, 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:44.959 they said, well who So every time my face got 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.160 burnt out. Then I had to get another car dealership 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:47.480 to go to. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:48.880 But then after while it was only but so many 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.800 car dealerships, and I had to find a whole new method. 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.160 Then I start hitting the valet parking. That's what the 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:56.400 business was because. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.440 He was putting the valet jacket on. No, okay, that 0:08:59.480 --> 0:08:59.960 was a great hold. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.160 That's a great idea. It actually ain't. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.120 Yeah, it really ain't because what happens is clearly like, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:10.840 first of all, it's not it's not easy to get 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:11.720 up valet. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.720 Jacket that matches the car that you're doing. That's the one. 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.520 They know each other and they all know, so they'd 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.600 be like, Yo, who are you the cabinet right now. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.120 With your jacket?

If you can do that for me every time 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.360 you get just give me. 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.040 A call and all I. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.880 Need is the key and a piece of male out 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.160 there with an address. Wow, that's all I needed, so boom, 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:04.040 they would get that to me. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.880 I just wait, maybe a week two weeks later, pull 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.440 up late night, carby park right. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:12.560 There in the front, jump in out and that was it, 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.000 like it was a real business. But then don't forget. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.480 You still have to get the paperwork done for you 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.880 gotta get vend numbers and all that. But so the beginning, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.680 you're just selling hot cars. You get caught, bros. Drive 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.400 your own risk, all right, the car's only five hundred 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.000 dollars though, like just these are squatters, right, But then 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.680 once you build a bit of money, create them pawn shop. 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.320 I mean, I'm the what do you call it? 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:34.319 Chop shot. 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.560 So then I had a chop shot where I had 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.360 some Mexicans over there that was super dope cars. Mexicans, 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.120 you know, big up to the Mexicans. They would chop 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:45.800 it up for me. Change the serious numbers. Then I 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.120 had to get it registered. 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:52.000 This where the finesse has to it has to come back. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.079 So I would go to DMV and I would just 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:59.920 look for the most vulnerable, insecure, overweight check. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.880 I about to go to hell. 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.560 So you know, but you know, you know, you just vancessar. 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.200 You know, take out to eat set the dream. You know, 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.520 you just dangled the carrot dough. You never beat, you 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:19.079 never hit it. 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.200 You just always make her believe that one day it's 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:22.080 gonna go down. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.040 And she is just doing anything for you. So I 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:25.520 was like, look, baby, you know right now I'm going 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.640 through some things. You know, I got a few vehicles 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.440 that I got, but you know, they ain't paid me 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.959 for it just came off the truck. She was completely 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.400 dreamed like Green didn't have no clue. I just need 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:35.880 you to get these registered for you man. You know, 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.199 every time I sell one, I just give you some 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:38.880 money out of it. And that's all it took. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.000 And before you know what, every. 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.360 Call we got shopped it, got it registered. Then now 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.040 we're in business. By the time we started selling Atlanta, 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.800 it wasn't not nobody that was coming through Atlanta wouldn't 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:48.520 getting cast from us. 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.760 But let me ask you, how if you ever got caught, 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.800 how would you get caught? How would the police. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.000 Well, that's the thing, like, I okay, and that was 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.520 a mistake that I made, Okay, but normally I wouldn't. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.520 I never really get caught because I always went through middleman, 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.920 so I was just a supplier and I would give 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.840 it to the purpose that would go out and sell 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.199 it out. My only rule was don't sell squadners to 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.280 dope boys because that's how you get fucked up. Like, 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.600 don't whatever you do, don't sell us no drug dealers 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.160 because the problem with them is they drive in any conditions. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.520 They moved, they dried and dirty, like, they give you 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.000 all the reasons for them to start investigating. So after 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.520 so many dope boys get caught, then now they're like, okay, 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.480 well all these cars are kind of they can start 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.040 following situations before you know it leads all back down 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.480 to them and then they don't rat you out in time. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:39.679 That's exactly what ended up happening. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.520 Oh yeah, so dope boy got caught in the car 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.400 and said I got it from the Prinson's of Munda. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.320 Well to see what saying me was the fact that 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.800 I never really met the customer. So when we so 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.960 when we went to trial, because I ended up getting 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.320 to trial. Nobody recognized me, so my attorney was just 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.400 super amazing. He was like, look, man, you know he's 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:02.679 he's a customer like they are. 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:03.440 I didn't even. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.400 Honestly, I didn't know what my car was even stolen. 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.760 I was just driving. I thought I thought it was legit. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.079 Way over it happened again. That was once in a 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:20.120 lifetime opportunity. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:28.120 Do you see, like, uh, let's get straight to it. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:29.360 Man. You always getting straight to. 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.200 What's beautiful music that you've made. I'm trying to think, 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.880 who the hell about you at Versus? 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.400 I know they've been you know what, actually Swiss talking 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.240 to my little brother about it. We talked to about it, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.960 and Boo kind of hinted it to me, but I 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.000 was just never I don't know. I think I think 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:56.040 the I love Versus to watch it, but I think 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.360 some legends and they're right. I thought it was a 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.040 mistake for them to get on it, because I think 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:06.240 sometimes when you contribute to a culture this big, your music. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.040 Should never be compared. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:12.000 It should be more celebrated than, you know, competed to 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.400 an extent. I know maybe in the beginning it partly 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.679 wasn't meant to be competition, but it's now turned into 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.440 a battle, and I don't want to put myself in 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.880 a position where I'm kind of relinquishing someone else's legacy 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.200 because I really don't believe there's too many people that 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:28.320 can go against. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:37.840 Me, so basically, you're going against yourself. That was the 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.720 most humblest I've heard. It was at the same time, 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.720 but off top, which would be dope. A lot of 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.320 people always compare Little Wayne's Drake, and they said if 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:51.479 they would do it together. 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.800 But it wouldn't work because Bill Rain found Drake. 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.080 That's like pain. I gave him all my secrets. I 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.200 gave them all my resources I created. That's don't come 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:03.680 against me. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.600 If anything, I'm a sick T paint on everybody else 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:08.560 past him. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.040 Then you get to me, You and T paying double teams. 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:11.520 I like that. 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.400 Now that'll work me and T paining together against somebody 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.600 else all day because he paint love that kind of smoke. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:23.760 I got goose bumps. You know what I'm saying, Double team. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.600 I don't know about that man, because that's too gosket 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.320 agast lights again. No no, no, you ain't his dosk 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.720 okay hold on because no should be r and B singers. 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.520 I mean, you can't be Chris Brown. This is the 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.880 thing Chris Brown Usher that's. 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.600 That honestly would be I would love to watch that myself. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.880 I would not, That's what I'm saying, Like I love 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.800 to be entertained by. But it's also that fear right 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.720 because what Usher built, Like sometimes what the scariest. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:59.560 Part he might come out with rod That's cool, he 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.080 was on. But see this, this is the thing, right 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.120 this generation don't appreciate music the way our generation did, 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.320 so the way we value what Usher brought to the table. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.960 This generation may not see that. It may lean more 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.120 towards Chris and vice versa. The eldest might not, you know, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.760 you know, appreciate what Chris brought to the you know, 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.720 to this industry. You know what I'm saying, because even 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.360 now when I look at Chris Brown, always believed that 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.040 he could have been the only person that can come 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.200 behind Michael Jackson. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.400 Chris is that talented, Like he is fucking genius. 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.640 I mean from an artist's downpoint, from a performance standpoint, imaging. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.440 Like he's a global superstar, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.880 But I think sometimes it's a matter of how we 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.560 harness and how we you know, package our talent that 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.360 we can claim and take it to that next level. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.240 It's almost like, okay, let's say if we introduce the 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.480 versus concept to the pop community. I want to see that, 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:56.840 they gonna turn it down. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.720 I want to see Chris, but they're not gonna do it. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:00.600 You want to do it? 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:07.560 Listen? Listen is Backstreet noise? 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.280 No, we would all be here, but that day will 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:15.120 never come. You know why, because they see things differently. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.760 They preserve culture, they preserve legacy. We compete against it. 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.920 Like blacks and whites are two different mentalities. 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:27.639 We're combative, like we're African white regular no white period Africa. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.920 Let's let's get back to South calf Africa. I'm kind 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.960 of the intro was just so amazing, so I couldn't 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:33.440 cut you off. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.640 I couldn't cut you off. Let's be very very very 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.000 very very very clear. South Africa is the real Africa. 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:43.720 See this is what happens. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.800 Right, Any amazing part of Africa that's beautiful, that attracts tourism, 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.280 they say it ain't really the real Africa. But if 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.679 it's poor, poverished, and and and you know, full of 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.479 diseases or plagues. Oh yeah, be careful us you want 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.440 to be in that part of Africa. So they claim 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.879 the poor for Africa to say, okay, that's Africa. But 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.879 then if there's anything that's enticing or inviting about Africa, 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.119 they say, well, that's not really the real Africa. And 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.560 that's what we got to break because you know, South 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.119 Africa's credit they had helped by the British to actually help. 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.600 To develop right right, which was the. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.919 Smallest population period. But those are real Africans, like the 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.640 white boys over there, African the actual Africans. 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.360 That's why they call Afrikaans. 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:29.159 Biggas. It's ghetto. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:30.840 That's crazy. 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.960 Some certain parts of Africa, of South Africa, the white 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.639 folks are the ones in the ghettos. If you go 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.040 to South Africa, the richest people in South Africa are 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:47.679 the black ones. Netflix in the in the flat Brohannesburg 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.640 like they're like everywhere you go, there's areas where there's 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.440 poor people, but the poorest areas are the poor parts 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.800 where the white folks are. Yeah, it's a matter of fact, 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.199 it's a Netflix special on It's a Netflix special on that. 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.239 I got to remember the name though, but if you 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.120 if you, if you Google, I mean, if you serve 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.480 South Africa on there, it'll pop up on. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.960 Watch my documentary Coming Home South Africa. And I'm telling you, 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.000 And they have an amazing hip hop scene. And I 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.040 went into Johannesburg and they got a spot called the 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.000 what is it called the Cool oh Man Slaughterhouse and 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.200 it's in there, it's in their language. But and it's 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.840 like a crazy MC battle place is dope, dope see 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:26.240 out there? 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.520 Man, I'm not. 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.080 Sure what should I just want to go to if I. 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.679 Go first, But hear me, I want to buy a 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.600 fake credit card or something.

There's 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.720 more billionaires being made in Nigeria than anywhere in the 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:10.480 world on the annual basis. 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:18.360 Took that email. Listen to the credit of them though. 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:23.920 You only get caught if you get greedy.

And that's when 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:36.200 I started to complain, that is ting right about this shirt. 0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:40.840 It's too funny. So you say Nigeria is the first, Well. 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:42.359 That mean it depends on what you're going there for. 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.560 Like every place has his destination and has especialty for 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:46.560 what you want to do. 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.639 A huge continent, it's no North Africa. 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.000 How big Africa is, right? You see how big United 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.760 States is. You could take five United States and fit 0:22:55.880 --> 0:23:00.520 it inside it. Five of US, I mean all fifty two, 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.159 three faux states whatever, you can take them all, put 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:04.560 him inside Africa five times. 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.480 That's how big the continent is. That's how big it is. 0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:09.280 So it's a matter of like it's any and everything 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:09.680 you want to do. 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:12.159 Like you got East Africa, you got South Africa, you 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.280 got West Africa, North Africa. Everywhere you go, there's destination 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:16.840 for what it is you want. So it depends on 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:17.520 what you're going there for. 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:21.119 You know, no I said anybody got questions for Akon. 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:25.040 It was like Yo, man in the US mad at 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.280 him for messing with China. Man, listen honestly. 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:30.960 First, to be honest, bro Me, I would want the 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.840 US to take more initiative in Africa. 0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:35.840 They have done it this year though. 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.240 Really Yeah, they flew in a lot of African presidents, 0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:44.280 created this huge you knows, the initiative in DC, you know, 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:45.600 but it was a great conversation. 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:46.440 It was a great start. 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:50.159 But I just think they're a little bit ten twelve 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:54.800 steps behind the Chinese. The area where the Chinese got 0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:59.120 smart was they realized, okay, are they're already done created 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.400 enough manufacturing plans to supply the whole world? 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:02.280 Right? 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:07.240 Yes, Americas are their biggest suppliers, America then Europe. This 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:08.920 is why the US is in debt to the Chinese. 0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:12.000 Already they supplied the US was so much. But after 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.400 a while you can only supply for so much because 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:16.960 that's only a certain amount of population. They're the reason 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:18.600 why Chinese is so powerful because they got over a 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.399 billion people over there within China in itself. But for 0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:23.720 the most part, they start a value in Africa though 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.880 they said, okay, cool, Africa got close to two billion people. 0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.200 Right, it's underdeveloped. 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.359 So human resource to them is more important than actual 0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:35.480 resources itself because they've seen what have done for them themselves. 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:35.919 Right. 0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:38.440 So now I imagine if you combine two billion people 0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:41.760 of China in partnership with two billion people in Africa, 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:44.240 and then you have all the resources and all the 0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.240 factories for distribution to the globe. 0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:50.200 Is that why the currency is the currency is China. 0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:56.520 The bricks I'm talking about bricks, which is China, China, Russia, Brazil. 0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:01.160 They trying to create their Oh well, I mean break 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:02.760 they call that school ring. 0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:09.040 I either heard that ringusin is eighty eight, but you 0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:11.160 hear that, Yeah, it's bridge. 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:14.040 They haven't done it yet. They're trying to. They're trying 0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:14.399 to do it. 0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.400 It's a conversation that's being had. Of course it's gonna 0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:19.320 and Saudi Arabia is kind of like top of the 0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:22.000 US dollar if that happens. So I don't think it's 0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:24.359 gonna be something that's gonna be easy to accomplish because 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.040 it's just too many interesting at play. But if it 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:28.720 does happen, it's gonna be a it's gonna be a 0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:30.919 US is gonna have a huge problem. 0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:33.680 Right, And China's been involved in Latin America too. They're 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.840 doing the same thing all that everywhere. You know, understanding, 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:37.680 they have been quiet. 0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.639 Right, you can go to any hood anywhere in the 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.240 world and you're gonna find them. That's what they're doing. 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:44.960 And then you can go to any place in the 0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:48.879 world and they will be a China town. Always they've been. 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:50.600 They've always been non controversial. 0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:52.680 Right, you've been to China. 0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.239 I love China, you really, I love it out there. 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:58.280 I just can't say that too long ago. Why I 0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:01.320 need the food, the food, it's just it's not my 0:26:01.680 --> 0:26:08.960 my type. The food small, it's just the portions are 0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:13.360 pretty small. But it's it's just too healthy. Really, it's 0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:13.920 too healthy. 0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:17.320 You need some glue, I need yeah, iy, fat, honey, cholesterol, 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:23.439 I need all that, like I can't American. It's too healthy, Okay, 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:24.520 it's too healthy. 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:28.000 One of the things that Michael Blacksman, who is my friend, 0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:32.439 but he turns me off every time I see him 0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:36.119 eat it. The way he eats foodful is hard. Have 0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.960 you ever seen him eat fool? Did he put on 0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:41.920 the tracks? He's like, I'm like, how can you tell 0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:42.960 me this is good? And you're going to. 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:47.120 I'm the only one who followed Michael Blacksmith. 0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:51.960 Listen, I mean, I swear, and he'd be like after 0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:55.000 he he puts pause, pulls his mouth with his hand 0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.520 away from his mouth. He acts like he's enjoying it, 0:26:57.760 --> 0:26:58.640 but as he's. 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:02.359 Chewing it, he puts on the pit bull face, like 0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:04.080 a pit bull is a tackle the. 0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:07.440 Tea and I like it. So, but are you a 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:09.080 fan of fool fool me? 0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.680 I'm not really a fan of food food specifically, I don't. 0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:12.160 Yeah, I don't. 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:13.680 I don't like food food as much, but I like 0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:14.280 everything else. 0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:14.560 Food. 0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:15.800 Food is the only thing I don't like as much. 0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:18.239 Food is like my fungal right, it's a plantain, that's 0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:19.360 the thing you Yeah. 0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:23.280 Well, myself, I like, but this is the okra sauce 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.320 that comes from and I don't like the texture of okra. 0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:28.080 You know what I'm saying, but because it got food 0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:30.119 and some other sauce like the peanut butter sauce. It 0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:32.639 comes with different sauces. But the reason why they call 0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:36.359 it food food is because of the okrat, the bread bread. 0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:40.200 Well, I mean it's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a combination. 0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:43.280 So yeah, but it's it's a it's a team effort, 0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:44.920 like one don't work without the other, you know what 0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:45.240 I'm saying. 0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:47.200 So, what's your favorite African dish? 0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:52.600 It's jelly rice for sure? What je rice? J Yeah. 0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:55.879 Sounds I don't know how it sounds. 0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:57.840 Sounds delicious, is it? 0:27:59.440 --> 0:27:59.480 So? 0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:02.879 Rice is originally from Senegal with Stafford that'shere, I'm from. 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:07.400 Ghana's. Ghana has adapted it very well. 0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:10.720 Nigeria is always in competition with Ghana on who makes 0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:13.560 the best jelly of rice. And then you have Liberia 0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:17.720 also that makes it really really good, right. But it's 0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:21.800 it's an old traditional uh recipe that's made with rice 0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:25.400 and tomato paste. So the tomato paste is what makes 0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:28.879 it red. But in Senegal you have two types of jelloff. 0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:30.600 You have the red jelloff and then you have the 0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:34.480 white jellaf. The white jellaf is made with like onions 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.240 and you know, more broth, you know what I'm saying. 0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.480 But the taste of it is just it's it's like 0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.440 an African version of fried rice to an extent, that's 0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:44.440 probably the best way to kind of explain it. Because 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:46.760 after the rice is done, they let the bottom of 0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:49.320 the rice burn, so it's like you get that that 0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:51.960 that burned smoky and then that smoke goes through the 0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:53.720 rice and you could taste that smokiness in it. 0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:54.880 It's it's delicious. 0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:02.840 The bird part is this, This is why I've been 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.320 a deal lot. When I eat that boy, it reminds 0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:07.040 me of Jeff, you know what I'm saying. 0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:10.640 So so we all know that music, we all know 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:14.479 the original man comes from Africa, right right. I remember, 0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:19.360 you know reggae music coming making its mark, you know. 0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:22.200 Then you know, you know Spanish music, all that song 0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:24.280 and so forth. But it just kind of like seemed 0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:28.840 like it's three sixty and now it's like Afro Beasts 0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:29.440 is like so. 0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:31.320 Fucking popular, right, It's huge. 0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:34.760 I never saw this coming, like I never saw obviously, 0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:37.680 you know that music originates in Africa, so for it 0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:40.400 to come back, it's something that's very very beautiful, but 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:42.600 I obviously didn't see this. Is this something that you've 0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:43.960 been saw that you knew that. 0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:47.080 Bro since two thousand and seven. Wow, I was in 0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:50.280 labels trying to get this going. Like you, man, you'd 0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:52.600 be surprised how good it makes somebody feel when you've 0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:54.840 been saying you want to say, like I told you 0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:55.920 so so loud. 0:29:57.080 --> 0:29:57.760 You know what I'm saying. 0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:02.160 But it's I kind of Latin music kind of came 0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:04.920 through the same tunnel because with reggae thong, it was 0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:06.880 the same thing. Nobody expected it to be this big 0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:19.840 and dominate, like you know what I'm saying on everything, right, 0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:23.760 you know what I'm saying. So it's I think it's 0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:25.720 the same thing. And I think now people are getting 0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:29.000 more you know, open to different sounds and different music 0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:31.440 now actually start you know, you can now see melodies 0:30:31.920 --> 0:30:35.200 change into something that sounds familiar to you that back 0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:36.959 then was foreign, you know what I'm saying. So when 0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:39.480 you listen to a lot of the afrobat music today, 0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:41.680 you'd be like, wow, it actually makes sense because when 0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:44.600 you go from reggae music to reggae thong and now 0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:48.120 afrobeat within all in the span of ten fifteen years 0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:50.720 in America's like it's it's all the same, you know 0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:52.560 what I'm saying. It was just a matter of who 0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:54.520 was the gatekeepers that would allow that music to come in, 0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:56.640 And that was the challenging part, trying to get them 0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:58.560 to understand that, Yo, this is bigger than you think 0:30:58.600 --> 0:30:58.800 it is. 0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.040 Yeah, you know, like internationally this is huge already. 0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:04.920 If it breaks in America, this could be the biggest 0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:07.600 turnover for y'all from a financial standpoint that you've ever seen. 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:09.920 But it's just a matter of just now Digital actually 0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:11.160 allowed that because of YouTube. 0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:14.120 You think they were trying to keep people from working 0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:16.920 internationally that closely because it might change the way that 0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:18.160 business has done domestically. 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:21.200 Actually, I wouldn't go that far, but I would say 0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:23.600 that they didn't understand the music well enough to know 0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:25.880 how to move it around. And I think a lot 0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:30.000 of the times when you look at executives, they kind 0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:33.120 of move on either excitement because they know what they got, 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:35.480 or on fear because they don't know what to do 0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.680 with it, you know what I mean. Instead of just 0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:39.560 putting it out and let it find his own audience, 0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:42.400 they want to be the A and R to decide 0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:43.760 what goes out and what's. 0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:44.520 Going to be a hit and what's not. 0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.240 And I think that's a mistake, is right, because they 0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:47.960 only you know, they make. 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:49.760 The decision called to what they see, and most of 0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:51.480 them never even left America, so they wouldn't even know 0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:51.920 where to start. 0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:55.520 I remember, like I was saying this to da veto 0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:59.960 a friend of mine who's Fump Senegal. He lives in Paris, 0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:02.800 and he kept he kept telling me about afrobeasts, but 0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:04.680 he didn't have he didn't have. It wasn't a word 0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.440 at the time. We kept saying, listen, man, we have 0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:12.080 African ricked doone. And I was like, because I'm assuming, 0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:14.480 I'm assuming reggae don't can only be Spanish. I'm not. 0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:17.200 I'm not smart enough to understand that this is a 0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.920 global thing. And then he was he was playing me 0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:22.680 this and I was just like wow. And then when 0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:25.560 afrobeas blew up, like I said, my boy at and 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:27.720 he's from Sitaguar, he just lives in Paris. 0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:33.120 He called me every day I told you, I was like, damn, 0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:33.640 he was. 0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:35.640 Right, and he was right. We listen to Acon. Our 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:38.160 show was about giving people their flowers while they're alive. 0:32:38.680 --> 0:32:40.360 We want to give you a flowers face to face. 0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:47.720 You an icon. You're a pioneer. You single handed and 0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:49.760 changed the face of how music is played. 0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:51.280 You you did it. 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:55.880 Are you like the first African artists or first African? 0:32:56.440 --> 0:33:00.400 Nos African because you wasn't born said he was born 0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:05.320 in Saint Louis, but obviously you still considered well. 0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:06.800 I mean, this is the thing, like, I don't think 0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:10.440 where you're born decides who you are, right because in 0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:14.200 our case, my mom and father was born raised, full 0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:17.280 blooded Senegalese, but Pops decided to make sure we was 0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:19.560 born here just to ship us back. 0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:22.920 Yeah, it was a transactional reason. You understand what I'm saying. 0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:25.320 So that's why when I identify with Africa, it's just 0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:26.680 a little bit different because. 0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:28.280 That's where my childhood began. 0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:30.240 And then when I came to the States, I was 0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.880 here just more to go to school because every summer 0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:33.760 we would go back home. 0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:36.400 Until I graduated high school. I decided to stay. 0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:38.440 Let me ask you the whole thing with New York 0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:41.160 Puerto Ricans, right, and then Puerto Ricans from the islands 0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.280 right right, and for years, Puerto Weecans from the Island 0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:45.880 just thought they was better than us. I'm sorry, that's 0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:50.000 how we felt about y'all. Like we felt like they 0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:52.760 felt like they were like the real Puerto Ricans, and like, 0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.200 I mean, actually, at certain. 0:33:54.960 --> 0:34:01.080 Times, technically, technically they are the real Puerto Ricans because 0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:02.960 y'all are more Americanized. 0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:07.160 Yeah, but they we watched us on TV. Yeah, they 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.040 just say technically a little bit different. You know, I 0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.279 grew up with chickens in our backyard. Why are you 0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:12.200 going at your people? 0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:12.319 Bro? 0:34:22.080 --> 0:34:24.359 They just a little the Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico 0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:27.000 a little bit closer to the culture. And I think 0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:29.200 that's what they're trying to say. They're not saying that 0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:32.080 you ain't Puerto Rican. They're saying, well, we're actually here. 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:35.320 You know, it's a place in Porto Rico called Louisa. 0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:39.040 You know, that's the where the slaves got dropped off. Right, 0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.000 you are light skinned out there compared to them. 0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:45.600 But all of those niggas came from Senegalgue. I'm not 0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:46.480 even joking. 0:34:49.080 --> 0:34:50.399 That last spot they. 0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:51.520 Dropped off in Puerto Rico. 0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.480 They dropped off in Haiti, and the Haiti became Dominican 0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:58.000 Republic because of the Spaniards came and mixed up with Haitians. Yeah, 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:01.440 the all Portuguese, mister Lee, So Portuguese, y'all niggas is. 0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:02.239 More African than we are. 0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:04.200 Why do you think y'all moved away? Y'all move goddamn? 0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:04.640 Do you think? 0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:09.719 Seriously think about it, Think about how we like, how 0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:12.560 we communicate with Puerto Ricans, Couerto Rican We call each 0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:16.600 other's niggas, y'all niggas. Ain't y'all far from niggas? Perto 0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:21.040 Ricans say the ship and we're like you think about it, 0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:24.520 like like we look at each other as one. You 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:27.560 find what I'm saying, like, so we like our history 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.520 is intertwined. It's not even a it's not even a question. 0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:32.000 That's a beautiful thing. 0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:32.320 You know what. 0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:34.680 Also was something beautiful I've seen on the internet the 0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:37.520 other day. They said something that could and you said 0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:40.400 this on our show years ago. It says something that 0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:44.960 was going to help boost Africa's economy is is if 0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:48.000 African Americans going over back and start going back. And 0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:50.120 I see somebody like I think this was like a 0:35:50.200 --> 0:35:52.360 preacher or something like he was just and I was like, 0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:54.640 damn a concept.

I probably go with Pop. I met 0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:35.480 him one time, met Pox this one time. I never 0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:38.439 met that one time? What was that a meaning? 0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:38.640 Like? 0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:40.640 It was like, oh, yo, this is my man, pot 0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:41.239 yo Pop. 0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:42.560 That kind. 0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:47.160 Cool, we got to get in cool and it never 0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:49.080 seen him again. His knew the new series on FX, 0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:52.799 The Dear Mama. I saw it the first episode. It's crazy. Yeah, 0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:57.759 it's real good, real good. Wow, it's on FXX. I 0:42:57.840 --> 0:43:00.200 know you worked one of them. I don't know if 0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:03.960 he worked with both, but Michael Jackson or Prince. Oh, 0:43:04.160 --> 0:43:05.760 that's easy. Michael Jackson. 0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:07.000 You worked with m J. 0:43:07.520 --> 0:43:07.719 Yeah. 0:43:08.880 --> 0:43:10.319 I didn't get a chance to work with Prince though, 0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:12.120 but it was on the schedule to work with him 0:43:12.120 --> 0:43:12.720 before he passed. 0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:14.799 Was on the schedule. It was, yeah, I was gonna 0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:15.480 get in with him before. 0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:17.160 In the same room with Prince. 0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:20.480 Yeah, you met Actually Jimmy Ivan was want to introduce 0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:23.279 me to him, have his ass out. 0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:29.440 I'm saying, you know this different versions really wants to 0:43:29.480 --> 0:43:30.920 know because he has everybody. 0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:35.120 Different versions. Because I wanted to I wanted to know myself, 0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:36.440 say you wanted those pants. 0:43:38.640 --> 0:43:41.560 He was an interesting character though, because even when I 0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:44.399 met him through Jimmy, I would ask him a question 0:43:44.880 --> 0:43:47.200 and then the assistant or the one that was standing 0:43:47.239 --> 0:43:48.520 next to him would be the one to tell him, 0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:51.080 so it was one of those, and then he would 0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:52.400 whisper in her ear and then she would tell me 0:43:52.480 --> 0:43:54.360 what he said it was. 0:43:54.440 --> 0:44:01.200 It was, that's awkward, it was interesting, that's interesting. I 0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:01.839 like this one. 0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:06.440 You got eminem or Boston rhymes and what way? 0:44:06.520 --> 0:44:09.000 Though, it's up to you. No, hold on. It's a 0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:14.680 difference because if it's versus in versus, oh, in versus, 0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:18.600 I mean just I just made in versus yeah versus. 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:23.680 That depends too, though, just just makes shinny take a shot. Yeah, 0:44:23.880 --> 0:44:25.080 it depends. It depends. 0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:29.960 It's no because these are two different lanes, like not even. Yeah, 0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:32.200 but it's not even. It's like you can't even compare those. 0:44:32.520 --> 0:44:34.680 I gotta go with both because you can't really compare. 0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:37.640 That's fair taking a shot. You took a shot, Sonny. 0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:40.000 You can't just drink out of your cup. You gotta 0:44:40.000 --> 0:44:44.160 take a shot no because of what. 0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:49.000 Okay, like this no, no, you make no sense? 0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:51.440 And I did the next one after that, this. 0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:55.440 One, yeah, justin Timberlake skip one. Oh yeah, Snooper jay 0:44:55.520 --> 0:45:01.719 Z Snooper jay Z in the versus anyway, whatever the 0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:04.239 criteria in your mind is the criteria in mind, I 0:45:04.239 --> 0:45:05.200 will probably say. 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:13.000 That's that's also two different types, you know what I'm saying? 0:45:13.120 --> 0:45:18.279 Like two icons? Thanks Lee? 0:45:23.400 --> 0:45:24.440 This this this might be. 0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:30.440 Debatable, but I'll probably go with Snoop. Okay, And and 0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:32.680 y'all worked early on in your career and your career 0:45:32.760 --> 0:45:36.440 too with Snoop, right yeah? And then I like, as 0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:38.040 I travel, I see. 0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:43.359 The personality and the effect that Snoop has on people 0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:45.279 globally and through his music. 0:45:45.400 --> 0:45:49.320 So Snooper's hands down the most famous rat that you 0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:51.400 know what I'm there's not one person on earth that 0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:52.560 I don't think I. 0:45:52.640 --> 0:45:56.040 Don't know who Snoop thats recognized? Right, absolutely, kid you 0:45:56.160 --> 0:46:04.520 not justin Timberlake or justin Bieber. I probably go with Biber, Okay, 0:46:05.520 --> 0:46:06.120 how about. 0:46:05.920 --> 0:46:10.360 Him versus still go with Biber? Still going with Okay, Okay. 0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:13.279 People got records, bro, People records are on a different 0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:15.759 level and he spoke, we you too, now my mom? 0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:23.160 For fact, what else does he do? He styles p 0:46:23.360 --> 0:46:28.880 or ross. I gotta go both on that one, Okay, Sonny? 0:46:29.120 --> 0:46:32.000 Yeah can they both represent two different things too? But 0:46:32.080 --> 0:46:33.719 style is like my brother. I couldn't go against him 0:46:33.719 --> 0:46:34.239 if I wanted to. 0:46:34.840 --> 0:46:37.239 Okay, I'm gonna let you Finn take this one. 0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:40.120 These last two, I mean the next two French or 0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:43.480 fifty French or fifty that would be a good one. 0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:46.480 I would have known what, dude, But yeah, fifty will 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:49.160 get it. Oh and your mind saying versus? Is you 0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:53.360 get my mind? I'm saying versus? Okay, atl or Miami 0:46:54.480 --> 0:46:57.920 at L of Miami, definitely a t L. Still live 0:46:57.960 --> 0:47:00.520 in atl Huh, still live in atl. I still got 0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:03.160 a gas station, same house. 0:47:04.400 --> 0:47:08.920 They got to know who got a gas station? That's 0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:09.479 how you flow. 0:47:10.400 --> 0:47:11.879 I got it, I got a gas station. 0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:16.520 Whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta patack. I gotta have 0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:21.160 a gas station. Shut everyone down, Everyone shut up? Like word, 0:47:21.239 --> 0:47:26.520 he just said, you got a gas Okay. Naughty by 0:47:26.640 --> 0:47:27.920 nature or laws are underground. 0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.880 That's a jersey. That one was a good one too, 0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:36.400 both legends, Yeah they are. But I think Naughty went 0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:37.200 a little bit further. 0:47:39.000 --> 0:47:40.200 Jada kiss or Nas. 0:47:42.040 --> 0:47:52.239 Oh, oh, that one is interesting. That's a tough one too. 0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:55.520 Why I say that is because Jade is probably the 0:47:55.640 --> 0:47:59.759 most underrated. I don't think he ever got the credit 0:47:59.840 --> 0:48:01.160 that he needed to get. 0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:03.680 He getting it now. I believe you think you get 0:48:03.719 --> 0:48:06.640 it now. I think he's getting it now because Nas, 0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:07.720 it took time. 0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.000 For people to give him that right, not as well, 0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:14.000 it took some time. Yeah, And I think Jada he 0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:17.399 never got it, right, you think he got it after 0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:18.520 versus Yeah, I. 0:48:18.520 --> 0:48:19.840 Think he's getting it. I think he's still in the 0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:20.800 process of getting it. 0:48:21.040 --> 0:48:21.600 That's what I think. 0:48:21.640 --> 0:48:22.600 I think he's in the process. 0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:25.640 I will say Jada, just to help him get that process, 0:48:25.760 --> 0:48:27.120 because I think Nas is already given. 0:48:27.480 --> 0:48:35.600 Okay, it's fair enough. Coming to America call Hall ofm Knights. Yeah, 0:48:38.800 --> 0:48:41.320 I know both of them. I would definitely go with 0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:45.720 coming to America Lady Gaga or Katy Perry. 0:48:45.920 --> 0:48:47.080 Definitely Lady Goga. 0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:54.200 With Lady Gaga, Gwen Stephani. But all right, these are 0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:56.200 the guys who make it up, the Colombians and the Dominicans. 0:48:58.280 --> 0:49:00.439 Red Man or Method Man both. 0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:02.759 Yeah, those are twins right there. You can't separate them too, 0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:05.479 and you can't separate them too. 0:49:08.160 --> 0:49:09.319 Big pun or big al. 0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:11.560 I go a pun. 0:49:13.880 --> 0:49:20.719 Amy Winehouse or Whitney Houston. Oh rest a piece of both. Yeah, she. 0:49:23.400 --> 0:49:27.240 That's a tough one too, but I go with Whitney. 0:49:28.880 --> 0:49:30.240 You gotta see a movie on Netflix. 0:49:30.560 --> 0:49:31.200 No, I haven't seen you. 0:49:31.280 --> 0:49:32.680 I haven't seen it yet, neither I heard his good 0:49:32.840 --> 0:49:33.400 Yea'm gonna take it. 0:49:33.400 --> 0:49:33.920 Look at it now? 0:49:34.320 --> 0:49:38.479 T Pain or floor Rider, t Pain, Wayne or Drake. 0:49:46.840 --> 0:49:48.719 I would want to say Wayne. 0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:54.120 Because he discovered him and recognize the talent that Drake got. 0:49:55.160 --> 0:49:57.600 But in this case, I would choose Drake because Drake, 0:49:58.480 --> 0:50:03.000 to me, it's more versati how and he he. I 0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:05.720 think he maximized the opportunity better than anybody in the business. 0:50:07.320 --> 0:50:11.920 That's fair, USA or Africa. Africa hesitates for that, not 0:50:12.000 --> 0:50:12.640 even question. 0:50:12.760 --> 0:50:14.440 Your old hairline or your new hairline. 0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:25.200 The new hairlines look good. 0:50:25.239 --> 0:50:31.200 A lie, I'm looking at me, get this, start me 0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:33.960 say something somebody to pumped up bitch of you.

But I want to say both, 0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:24.440 and let me tell you why. First of all, n 0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:27.680 w A created gangster rap. Regardless what anybody tell you, 0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:31.400 school d did, but n w A, regardless of what anybody. 0:52:31.760 --> 0:52:34.920 On there's a difference. Schoolie was just a gangster period. 0:52:35.320 --> 0:52:37.160 Yeah, but he would made against the music though he 0:52:37.239 --> 0:52:37.640 did happen. 0:52:37.640 --> 0:52:39.560 And I see it was around but around the same 0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:41.560 time in w A and maybe before, to be honest 0:52:41.600 --> 0:52:42.440 with you, Yeah, so. 0:52:42.680 --> 0:52:43.840 You're right, it could be debatable. 0:52:44.600 --> 0:52:48.960 But n w A made it popular, the most popular. 0:52:49.239 --> 0:52:51.280 That's what you gotta get credit to, absolutely. 0:52:51.000 --> 0:52:53.080 Because I think sometimes we kind of make the mistake 0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:54.600 of the person that invented it versus the person that 0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:55.560 actually made it famous. 0:52:56.760 --> 0:52:57.680 You understand what I'm saying. 0:52:57.920 --> 0:53:00.600 So there's two parts the person that invented it. 0:53:00.800 --> 0:53:02.400 Yeah, we have to give him the flowers because he 0:53:02.440 --> 0:53:06.319 and he actually created the this is what got us. 0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:07.239 Inspired to do it. 0:53:07.880 --> 0:53:11.719 But the person that made it famous, it is really 0:53:11.760 --> 0:53:14.399 the person you give the credit to. And that could 0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:15.279 be debatable as well. 0:53:15.480 --> 0:53:16.200 It's like everybody. 0:53:16.200 --> 0:53:17.920 But I also believe that the person that made it 0:53:18.000 --> 0:53:20.480 famous should also always go back and take care of 0:53:20.520 --> 0:53:23.759 the person that invented it. That's what makes it even. 0:53:24.560 --> 0:53:26.480 But when you ignore the person that made it even. 0:53:26.680 --> 0:53:28.239 Or you you know, look at him on a certain 0:53:28.239 --> 0:53:30.799 way and you know, kind of decrease its value, then 0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:31.719 I think that's fucked up. 0:53:31.880 --> 0:53:34.919 All right, There's there's one more debatable thing. Who called 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:36.840 it gangster act? Because a lot of people debate. 0:53:36.880 --> 0:53:37.279 But I was. 0:53:38.880 --> 0:53:39.120 Next. 0:53:39.280 --> 0:53:42.320 You ain't all music, but you saw nigga. 0:53:42.160 --> 0:53:44.719 Like n w A them niggas start they show off 0:53:45.000 --> 0:53:46.440 with easy Goddamn with. 0:53:46.520 --> 0:53:48.720 A twenty two popular in the side of the areada. 0:53:49.400 --> 0:53:52.400 I was scared to dath How was I was terrified? 0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:54.879 Listen to you never wanted to go to Compton, Right, 0:53:55.040 --> 0:53:57.000 and then now let's talk about Wu Tang Clan. 0:53:58.120 --> 0:53:58.959 Wu Tang Clan. 0:53:59.760 --> 0:54:03.680 They took New York culture and made it global facts 0:54:04.360 --> 0:54:08.520 even more. Staten islandro to the point where you go 0:54:08.640 --> 0:54:11.520 to Japan, is you Wu Tang is like a religion. 0:54:12.280 --> 0:54:12.839 It's a fact. 0:54:13.320 --> 0:54:16.040 You understand what I'm saying now, Nwa. 0:54:15.600 --> 0:54:18.759 Ain't going that far. They were more domestic, right, So 0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:20.960 that's why I said, you got to give them both. 0:54:21.800 --> 0:54:22.960 You gotta choose both on that one. 0:54:23.000 --> 0:54:24.879 I love how you broke that down, mad hip hop. 0:54:25.160 --> 0:54:26.600 That was a mad I break that. 0:54:27.360 --> 0:54:27.880 I love that. 0:54:28.960 --> 0:54:31.080 Look at those recent shows.

It's like the 0:54:54.160 --> 0:54:55.399 audition would say Jackson five. 0:54:55.520 --> 0:54:58.879 They would even say if they don't, then I don't 0:54:58.880 --> 0:55:01.120 know what you're gonna say on this one.

It was 1:22:34.920 --> 1:22:37.800 actually gonna No, I'm not gonna tell that story, but yeah, that's. 1:22:37.680 --> 1:22:39.720 How I don't tell me beody no no, no, no, 1:22:40.000 --> 1:22:40.560 it was gonna be. 1:22:40.840 --> 1:22:42.160 If it would have been for anybody, it would have 1:22:42.200 --> 1:22:43.920 been for me. Put it so. 1:22:44.400 --> 1:22:48.840 But what's crazy was you had a song and you 1:22:48.920 --> 1:22:52.000 probably experiences where before you. 1:22:52.400 --> 1:22:54.240 He's a feature that shared somebody on it. 1:22:54.360 --> 1:22:56.240 He was like, man, think I'm gonna keep this with myself, 1:22:57.120 --> 1:23:00.160 Like as a producer, songwriter, right, it's some songs you 1:23:00.280 --> 1:23:04.160 just want to hold on to. That's the feeling I 1:23:04.280 --> 1:23:07.960 had after I did Soul Survivor. But then when I 1:23:08.120 --> 1:23:15.560 met with Jeezi and I heard his mixtape, Bruh you 1:23:15.680 --> 1:23:20.439 need this, I just jumped out the window. I was like, 1:23:20.720 --> 1:23:23.600 it's no way this nigga on this record is not 1:23:23.680 --> 1:23:26.800 going to be a bigger record. It was impossible. It 1:23:26.920 --> 1:23:29.200 was just impossible. So when I sent it to him, 1:23:29.960 --> 1:23:31.720 I wasn't sure if he liked it or how he 1:23:31.760 --> 1:23:33.360 felt about it, because it took about. 1:23:35.040 --> 1:23:37.519 Almost to the end of the day before I got 1:23:37.560 --> 1:23:37.880 it back. 1:23:38.880 --> 1:23:40.240 But the fact that I got it back the same 1:23:40.360 --> 1:23:42.519 day was kind of common because a lot of people 1:23:42.520 --> 1:23:44.080 at that time was always excited to get a con 1:23:44.360 --> 1:23:46.280 convict track, so they would do it real quick and 1:23:46.320 --> 1:23:48.439 sind the back. But Jez took a little bit longer 1:23:48.479 --> 1:23:51.000 than normal, and I was like, damn, sh ain't back yet. 1:23:52.439 --> 1:23:55.360 But when it came back, though, I was like, oh 1:23:55.520 --> 1:23:58.640 my god, I sent that shit over to Meach He 1:23:58.840 --> 1:24:03.519 was like, Nigga, so this ship we own like, because 1:24:03.520 --> 1:24:05.720 you got to stand around that time, BMF had the 1:24:05.760 --> 1:24:09.160 biggest brand, but no really no songs out there. They 1:24:09.280 --> 1:24:11.160 just them niggas will be on maybe out the Source 1:24:11.280 --> 1:24:12.880 magazine getting awards. 1:24:12.600 --> 1:24:12.880 And all that. 1:24:16.680 --> 1:24:17.880 Nigga, you're the best that I ever did. 1:24:18.760 --> 1:24:23.040 Niggas getting awards and everything with no ax out, no records, 1:24:24.320 --> 1:24:26.920 huh no, But they was the cultry man, it was, 1:24:27.040 --> 1:24:29.640 it was, it was, it was something. But Jeeze I 1:24:29.880 --> 1:24:30.400 just knew he was. 1:24:30.400 --> 1:24:33.519 Destined for it, you know. So let me ask you. 1:24:33.840 --> 1:24:35.600 Have you ever gave up a record and you was 1:24:35.720 --> 1:24:37.400 mad as ship for giving up a record? 1:24:37.479 --> 1:24:39.160 No, no, no, no, I was never mad at giving 1:24:39.200 --> 1:24:43.000 up a record. But there are records that I gave 1:24:43.120 --> 1:24:46.280 up that I that I thought would be huge and 1:24:46.360 --> 1:24:49.920 it didn't. You thought that right, like I thought, and 1:24:50.200 --> 1:24:52.200 you know those records. It's kind of hard to kind 1:24:52.200 --> 1:24:53.720 of take him back to give him somebody else. 1:24:53.960 --> 1:24:55.840 So you just got to eat that, you know. Yea. 1:24:56.560 --> 1:24:58.439 You ever heard that track, jigga? 1:24:59.800 --> 1:25:02.000 Yeah, I remember that I gave that up that it 1:25:02.120 --> 1:25:03.120 was that. 1:25:05.160 --> 1:25:07.120 When I heard they gave it the jay Z, I was, 1:25:08.920 --> 1:25:11.400 I was like, what they said, nor when we gave 1:25:11.479 --> 1:25:13.160 it to you? And I was like, but you could 1:25:13.200 --> 1:25:21.120 have told me I had no excuse track masters, I was. 1:25:21.760 --> 1:25:24.640 I was, yeah, but you're not. You know something you're 1:25:24.640 --> 1:25:27.519 gonna miss some You're gonna miss something and meant for you. Yeah, 1:25:27.560 --> 1:25:28.599 it just wasn't meant for him. 1:25:28.920 --> 1:25:31.040 He probably would have got too famous, and at that 1:25:31.160 --> 1:25:32.280 time it probably wasn't a good thing. 1:25:33.680 --> 1:25:36.559 It was wild as hell, Yes, it was wild. 1:25:37.040 --> 1:25:39.120 We finished I want to you? Then how did you 1:25:39.240 --> 1:25:43.360 ask the dog? I'm trying to say this, so I'm 1:25:43.360 --> 1:25:45.000 trying to we're trying to avoid that. 1:25:45.680 --> 1:25:49.280 But what made you want to ask now dog? Oh man? 1:25:50.200 --> 1:25:52.040 That was just it was I think that was all 1:25:52.120 --> 1:25:55.800 perfect timing because at that time Snoop was always he was. 1:25:55.840 --> 1:25:58.000 He was hitting me up for songs and I always 1:25:58.040 --> 1:25:59.920 wanted to work with him, but I just didn't have 1:26:00.080 --> 1:26:02.760 the right record that I felt I could put him on. 1:26:03.360 --> 1:26:07.360 And then the record got leaked, and when they got 1:26:07.439 --> 1:26:10.120 leaked in Miami, Pliz was on the record. 1:26:11.479 --> 1:26:15.400 So Pliz had the record first. Because what's interesting enough 1:26:15.600 --> 1:26:17.400 was what I originally did the record. I did it 1:26:17.439 --> 1:26:18.360 for Trick Daddy. 1:26:19.600 --> 1:26:19.760 Right. 1:26:20.040 --> 1:26:23.439 Originally, I was like, because I didn't see myself doing 1:26:23.520 --> 1:26:25.400 that kind of record, even though it was a spa 1:26:25.520 --> 1:26:26.160 by the whole things. 1:26:26.200 --> 1:26:27.519 All my songs were aspired by something. 1:26:27.520 --> 1:26:30.120 But I would always handpick which I asked what I 1:26:30.120 --> 1:26:31.720 think will be able to take the record off. So 1:26:31.840 --> 1:26:33.280 at that time, I'm thinking it was gonna be trick 1:26:33.360 --> 1:26:36.400 daddy Wow. When I sent the record to Slip and 1:26:36.439 --> 1:26:39.920 Slide till his day till this day, I'm guessing I 1:26:40.040 --> 1:26:40.559 never knew. 1:26:40.439 --> 1:26:41.880 How Plies actually got the record. 1:26:42.160 --> 1:26:45.360 All I know is that one week Steve got a 1:26:45.439 --> 1:26:48.599 call that's nigga, we gotta fucking smash in Miami. That's 1:26:48.640 --> 1:26:51.639 all all over satellite radio and every fucking strip club, 1:26:51.760 --> 1:26:54.040 every club. The record is so big, we gotta do 1:26:54.120 --> 1:26:55.880 something about it. And I was like, well, let me 1:26:55.920 --> 1:26:58.320 hear the record, nigga. When I heard that shit, I 1:26:58.360 --> 1:26:59.920 was like, God, damn, who is this little nigga? 1:27:01.000 --> 1:27:01.120 Right? 1:27:01.240 --> 1:27:02.479 So it was one of them things. 1:27:02.520 --> 1:27:04.960 And then oh he wasn't out yet, No, he was 1:27:05.000 --> 1:27:08.519 a new artist. Oh okay, okay, he's already out. 1:27:09.840 --> 1:27:12.320 But everybody agreed that this was a smashit record. 1:27:12.520 --> 1:27:14.800 But universe was going crazy because first of all the 1:27:14.840 --> 1:27:15.880 records out, I'm not clear. 1:27:16.200 --> 1:27:18.040 The ship is like, it's already a potential hit. What 1:27:18.160 --> 1:27:18.439 do we do? 1:27:18.520 --> 1:27:21.120 We gotta we gotta recover this record. So we're like, okay, well, 1:27:21.160 --> 1:27:22.960 we need to just snatch him off of and put 1:27:23.000 --> 1:27:23.920 somebody on the record. 1:27:24.600 --> 1:27:26.000 And then that's when I was like, well, shit, let's 1:27:26.000 --> 1:27:26.880 put Snoop on the record. 1:27:26.920 --> 1:27:29.200 He's been calling me for records and he's he'd be 1:27:29.240 --> 1:27:31.240 a perfect nigga on here. So I sent him to 1:27:31.280 --> 1:27:33.759 Snoop Literally the same day he came back with the record, 1:27:34.120 --> 1:27:37.320 bodied it, and these niggas have the record mastered, mixed, 1:27:37.520 --> 1:27:40.360 and put out the same week. S like literally that's 1:27:40.360 --> 1:27:42.160 saying cause we had to catch it. The record was 1:27:42.200 --> 1:27:45.240 moving too fast that plaus version was gone. But then 1:27:45.280 --> 1:27:47.880 I felt bad. I was like, damn, you know, he's 1:27:47.880 --> 1:27:50.160 a new artist. This would have been his big break. 1:27:51.200 --> 1:27:53.000 Like I felt fucked up because I knew how hard 1:27:53.000 --> 1:27:54.720 it was to get a record and go because I 1:27:54.840 --> 1:27:55.920 know what I went through and locked up. 1:27:55.960 --> 1:27:57.280 But do you think he leaked it? 1:27:58.400 --> 1:27:59.040 Without a doubt? 1:28:00.360 --> 1:28:01.000 De board the funk? 1:28:01.040 --> 1:28:08.720 I supposed to do that, but honestly, believe it or not, 1:28:08.920 --> 1:28:12.120 had he reached out before he did it, believe me, 1:28:12.160 --> 1:28:14.840 I know for sure, but no, because guess what, had 1:28:14.920 --> 1:28:16.719 he not leaked it, we wouldn't have known the record. 1:28:16.560 --> 1:28:19.280 Was that big, So who probably would have worked it out? 1:28:19.840 --> 1:28:20.920 It could have been right, It could have been a 1:28:20.960 --> 1:28:22.720 record him anyway if it had we known him before 1:28:22.760 --> 1:28:26.200 that ship took off. But it just, I mean, God 1:28:26.280 --> 1:28:27.960 has his own way of how things happen, right, So 1:28:28.320 --> 1:28:29.439 at that point I felt bad. 1:28:29.520 --> 1:28:29.640 Man. 1:28:29.720 --> 1:28:32.120 So we got on the phone and I was like, look, man, 1:28:32.160 --> 1:28:33.680 you know it's business. Some of it is beyond what 1:28:33.760 --> 1:28:34.080 I can do. 1:28:34.479 --> 1:28:35.720 But don't worry. I'm gonna make it up to you. 1:28:35.760 --> 1:28:37.040 You know what I'm saying, saying that's applies. 1:28:37.439 --> 1:28:40.040 Said it applies because I just felt bad because that 1:28:40.160 --> 1:28:41.559 was a smash, right, So I was like, all right, 1:28:41.640 --> 1:28:43.200 let me figure this out. So that's when I went 1:28:43.200 --> 1:28:46.400 into the studio and then I made hypnotize and I 1:28:46.439 --> 1:28:47.400 gave him hypnotized. 1:28:48.760 --> 1:28:52.200 Yep, that's so you. 1:28:54.560 --> 1:29:00.280 Take your talk for that's yeah, you was there all 1:29:03.240 --> 1:29:13.000 I got, Yo, that's crazy. I got all that in 1:29:13.080 --> 1:29:18.479 my notes. Okay, now, don't matter. Was that a sample? 1:29:20.000 --> 1:29:20.920 That was not a sample? 1:29:21.640 --> 1:29:25.960 It was all played all original. Yeah, but that was 1:29:26.000 --> 1:29:32.120 a melody part that I did take from Uh Bob. 1:29:31.960 --> 1:29:35.240 Marley we Gotta Fight for all right, Okay. I took 1:29:35.280 --> 1:29:38.120 a piece of that and added to the to the chorus. Okay, 1:29:38.120 --> 1:29:39.720 that's the only part of that sample not the beat. 1:29:39.960 --> 1:29:44.759 That's that was a rendition part Okay, okay, so Survival 1:29:44.800 --> 1:29:48.280 you just answered that question.

And then Verizon pulled my sponsorships 1:33:29.479 --> 1:33:29.880 and all of this. 1:33:30.520 --> 1:33:30.640 Yo. 1:33:31.080 --> 1:33:35.760 Whenst Fani though, rode with me because that Verizon sponsorship 1:33:36.000 --> 1:33:37.600 sponsored the whole tour and. 1:33:37.680 --> 1:33:38.240 I was on it. 1:33:38.960 --> 1:33:41.599 So they came to home it was like, listen, con 1:33:42.400 --> 1:33:44.680 if you want us to continue sponsoring this tour, you 1:33:44.800 --> 1:33:45.960 need to pull him off your tour. 1:33:47.200 --> 1:33:49.720 And she was like, I'm not doing that, going to 1:33:49.720 --> 1:33:52.080 start finding against the nigga. She rocked with me though, 1:33:52.560 --> 1:34:02.400 ah no, no, yep, yeah, let's talk about that the 1:34:02.439 --> 1:34:04.280 Sweetest Scape as well, while we're on the right, y yeah, 1:34:04.280 --> 1:34:04.840 sweet es scpe. 1:34:04.920 --> 1:34:07.000 Yeah, so sweet Eskatee was crazy. So Jimmy I Bean 1:34:07.080 --> 1:34:08.800 called me and was like, listen, I want you to 1:34:08.880 --> 1:34:12.880 go in with Gwyn. I was like, absolutely, I love Gwyn. 1:34:12.920 --> 1:34:14.840 This is before the tour, obvious, this is before the tour. 1:34:15.120 --> 1:34:15.920 This was before the tour. 1:34:16.479 --> 1:34:19.040 She had just finished her album, but they needed that 1:34:19.240 --> 1:34:22.000 one record like they would need it one record. 1:34:22.160 --> 1:34:22.320 You know. 1:34:22.560 --> 1:34:23.960 And I was like, well, let me hear the album 1:34:23.960 --> 1:34:25.320 and see what she got, and then I see, you 1:34:25.400 --> 1:34:27.679 know what I can put for. When I heard the album, 1:34:28.200 --> 1:34:30.240 it was a little different from what I would have 1:34:30.640 --> 1:34:33.640 wanted for her on the album, being who she was 1:34:33.760 --> 1:34:36.280 in the timeline in which she was recording those records, 1:34:36.479 --> 1:34:38.080 I felt there was a certain direction that I felt 1:34:38.120 --> 1:34:40.800 like she needed to go. So I just did that 1:34:40.960 --> 1:34:44.200 direction for the single that they wanted for, and while 1:34:44.240 --> 1:34:47.360 we were in the studio, that's when we wrote sweet Escape, right. 1:34:47.520 --> 1:34:49.599 So when we sent that over to Jimmy, he was like, man, 1:34:49.640 --> 1:34:52.679 this record is fucking amazing. But there wasn't enough time 1:34:53.200 --> 1:34:56.200 to do more records because she was literally like dropping 1:34:56.280 --> 1:34:59.800 that week. So we said, let's maximize this actual song 1:35:00.000 --> 1:35:01.800 because this could be the first record out. So they 1:35:01.920 --> 1:35:04.679 end up taking the song. It became in the first single. 1:35:05.400 --> 1:35:08.240 Then it became the song became the name of the album, 1:35:08.320 --> 1:35:11.080 Sweet Escape. Then they set up a whole tour around 1:35:11.160 --> 1:35:14.360 that song called Sweet Escape Tour, so that song became 1:35:14.760 --> 1:35:18.520 her whole marketing, imaging the whole like movement. 1:35:18.240 --> 1:35:21.880 For that whole album. Wow, you orchestrated that far. I 1:35:22.040 --> 1:35:24.920 made the record Jimmy Orchestra. 1:35:26.360 --> 1:35:28.280 But everything you're saying goes in line with you're saying 1:35:28.280 --> 1:35:31.599 that Jimmy is a kingmaker, because here you are blessing 1:35:31.680 --> 1:35:34.680 all these artists and helping and making their careers as well, right, 1:35:35.000 --> 1:35:36.080 which is crazy. 1:35:36.200 --> 1:35:37.880 You know, because I think sometimes it helps to have 1:35:38.080 --> 1:35:40.840 just new blood around that see things differently from how 1:35:41.880 --> 1:35:44.759 you know your core see it because oftentimes, like primise 1:35:44.760 --> 1:35:48.240 app let's say a building like Universe of for instance, 1:35:48.280 --> 1:35:50.320 they got to set group of producers that they go 1:35:50.439 --> 1:35:51.040 to every time. 1:35:50.960 --> 1:35:52.680 They sound acts. You know what I'm talking abo right now? 1:35:52.800 --> 1:35:54.400 Of course, set group of writers that they go to 1:35:54.479 --> 1:35:56.320 every time they sign to act, they all start to 1:35:56.360 --> 1:35:58.680 sound like they all start to feeling like there's nothing 1:35:58.720 --> 1:36:01.639 different because they's using the same producers that's been proven 1:36:01.680 --> 1:36:03.439 to have hit records. It becomes like a cookie cutter 1:36:03.520 --> 1:36:06.280 thing exactly. And I think that's what Jimmy was trying 1:36:06.280 --> 1:36:08.400 to cut away from. So that's why he started bringing 1:36:08.400 --> 1:36:10.720 in people that looked at the projects differently. Because even 1:36:10.760 --> 1:36:13.160 when you started, when you heard the first album versus 1:36:13.200 --> 1:36:15.760 the album that I was working on, there wasn't that 1:36:15.880 --> 1:36:18.439 much of a growth change. But when you hear that 1:36:18.560 --> 1:36:20.360 record on that album, you can hear the difference from 1:36:20.400 --> 1:36:23.200 that record versus everything else that was on there, you 1:36:23.240 --> 1:36:24.920 know what I'm saying, And. 1:36:25.040 --> 1:36:26.360 That means he's willing to take chances. 1:36:26.520 --> 1:36:26.680 Yeah. 1:36:26.760 --> 1:36:27.920 Me, I want to give you what you ain't got. 1:36:27.960 --> 1:36:29.840 I want to give you something that the audience can 1:36:29.920 --> 1:36:32.080 listen to it and say, oh, they stepping it up 1:36:32.160 --> 1:36:34.000 or they've grown from where it used to be, you 1:36:34.040 --> 1:36:35.400 know what I mean. But at the same time keeping 1:36:35.439 --> 1:36:37.759 integrity and what it is you bring to the table, 1:36:38.040 --> 1:36:39.840 but you also taking it to a level to where 1:36:40.240 --> 1:36:42.240 you look like you're becoming bigger than what you was 1:36:42.320 --> 1:36:42.760 before they. 1:36:43.000 --> 1:36:44.120 Experienced you you know what I'm saying. 1:36:45.160 --> 1:36:48.240 It's crazyd damn it, Man, this is this is crazy. 1:36:48.960 --> 1:36:51.000 What are some of the producers that you haven't worked 1:36:51.000 --> 1:36:52.040 with that you would like to work with? 1:36:53.400 --> 1:36:56.640 Interestingly enough, I haven't worked with. 1:37:00.320 --> 1:37:00.519 Man. 1:37:01.600 --> 1:37:04.760 The only producers that I actually ever worked with on collaboration. 1:37:05.320 --> 1:37:07.280 Remember he's producing, Yeah, it's. 1:37:07.240 --> 1:37:10.080 Polo Polo and don I work. I worked with him 1:37:10.120 --> 1:37:18.559 on some collaboration stuff. Who nah me and Kanye hasn't 1:37:18.600 --> 1:37:23.519 We never worked on anything collaborative That could be crazy, yo, 1:37:23.880 --> 1:37:26.000 now that I think about it, he's the only no 1:37:27.000 --> 1:37:30.400 metro booming. Metro Booman worked on some stuff together and 1:37:31.320 --> 1:37:33.920 nothing on the track Man worked on. But that's all 1:37:34.080 --> 1:37:37.840 after my time. But during my time was I actually 1:37:37.880 --> 1:37:39.200 wasn't working with any producers? 1:37:39.439 --> 1:37:40.599 Were doing a work myself? 1:37:41.040 --> 1:37:44.040 Absolutely? Hell yeah, some of the people will tymbling. I 1:37:44.080 --> 1:37:46.599 would love to do it.

Oh no, we was 1:39:49.479 --> 1:39:52.280 playing some real top people.

If you go 1:40:10.840 --> 1:40:13.479 on the average day you go to play golf, you're gonna. 1:40:13.280 --> 1:40:15.760 Be spending party a little bit und the final really, 1:40:16.640 --> 1:40:18.800 but and they smoked cigars and I see I see 1:40:18.800 --> 1:40:20.840 a lot of motherfuckers getting drunk out of there. Deals 1:40:21.080 --> 1:40:22.479 people make deals on the golf course. 1:40:22.840 --> 1:40:25.280 I mean, that's that's what used to happen. How you 1:40:25.360 --> 1:40:29.479 take that they just tell secrets? Is that how you 1:40:29.600 --> 1:40:30.720 take being made? 1:40:31.360 --> 1:40:33.840 Let them get drunk and then you got a peanut 1:40:33.880 --> 1:40:40.320 klada and let's take a sip first, let's go. 1:40:42.120 --> 1:40:42.160 Y. 1:40:42.360 --> 1:40:43.439 So what is this? 1:40:43.560 --> 1:40:45.360 Is something we didn't ask you in a quick time 1:40:45.400 --> 1:40:50.720 and slive very famous? Uh on this show? Major or independent? 1:40:50.800 --> 1:40:51.000 What do? 1:40:51.120 --> 1:40:51.800 What do you prefer? 1:40:52.640 --> 1:40:56.519 All Right? So when I was major, I was screaming independent. 1:40:57.400 --> 1:40:58.800 Right you got independent? 1:40:59.360 --> 1:41:02.200 A you're gonna look it's interesting. 1:41:02.240 --> 1:41:03.080 It's interesting. 1:41:03.439 --> 1:41:05.519 When I was major, I was screaming independent all day. 1:41:05.920 --> 1:41:09.479 I was convincing everybody to go independent, independent, dependent. But 1:41:09.560 --> 1:41:12.600 that's because that was before I realized who I was. 1:41:13.320 --> 1:41:16.439 Because I never felt famous like I always felt like 1:41:16.920 --> 1:41:19.719 you know, see me now, like by myself, I always 1:41:19.720 --> 1:41:23.240 feel normal. But then when I got off the major 1:41:23.760 --> 1:41:27.720 and went independent, I said, independent ain't really for me. 1:41:29.600 --> 1:41:31.200 Because I'm too big to be independent. 1:41:31.840 --> 1:41:34.360 I need to be structured and managed by a major 1:41:34.439 --> 1:41:37.720 label because of who I'm who I am already. Now, 1:41:37.800 --> 1:41:41.720 if you're an artist that are beginning, or you got 1:41:41.800 --> 1:41:45.400 a nice little bubble within your your area or territory. 1:41:46.240 --> 1:41:48.639 Independence for you because you can grow independent and build 1:41:48.640 --> 1:41:52.479 your structure to become what you know, like manages your 1:41:52.720 --> 1:41:57.000 career self, you know what I'm saying, and grow to 1:41:57.120 --> 1:41:59.240 that level. But it's it's in steps, it's all the stages. 1:41:59.479 --> 1:42:01.320 But the artist that just comes from a major label 1:42:01.520 --> 1:42:04.960 and just goes deep diving independent, it's a bad idea, 1:42:05.000 --> 1:42:05.160 that's what. 1:42:05.640 --> 1:42:08.240 And that's why you always say that's because because I'm 1:42:08.240 --> 1:42:10.720 always advocating for independence, he's always advocate FA. 1:42:11.479 --> 1:42:14.080 But this is the thing when you're in a situation 1:42:14.280 --> 1:42:14.880 in the era that. 1:42:15.880 --> 1:42:18.200 Sinse because you're looking at the numbers that you're making 1:42:18.240 --> 1:42:20.400 these niggas and you're like, man if I could make 1:42:20.479 --> 1:42:22.920 that for me, but we don't also realize all the 1:42:23.000 --> 1:42:26.240 resources that have taken the machine, the machine that's the supportist, 1:42:26.800 --> 1:42:27.360 you know what I'm saying. 1:42:27.479 --> 1:42:31.160 You gotta realize, like you have to really grind. 1:42:31.439 --> 1:42:31.639 Yeah. 1:42:32.000 --> 1:42:34.320 And by the way, depending on your label, you gotta grind. 1:42:34.360 --> 1:42:39.680 When you're on a major with no dispec major, there's 1:42:39.720 --> 1:42:43.439 not The major labels are sometimes incompetent it sometimes their 1:42:43.520 --> 1:42:46.320 workers are just people that's lucky to be there. And 1:42:46.400 --> 1:42:48.479 it's also a lot of hookups. It's a lot. It's 1:42:48.479 --> 1:42:51.720 a lot of like like, this guy doesn't deserve that 1:42:51.880 --> 1:42:55.680 job that he has. His uncle hooked him up, so 1:42:55.720 --> 1:42:58.519 he's fucking up. So you gotta you gotta grind hard 1:42:58.720 --> 1:43:01.559 enough on the major. But if you for major spends 1:43:02.600 --> 1:43:05.760 three to ten million dollars on you, they can't take 1:43:05.840 --> 1:43:08.320 that back, right, So you need to get that back, 1:43:08.439 --> 1:43:10.960 and then you need to be as much independent within 1:43:11.040 --> 1:43:13.120 that major as possible. You know what I mean for 1:43:13.200 --> 1:43:14.920 you to make it work. That's what you owe it. 1:43:15.000 --> 1:43:15.320 You owe it. 1:43:15.400 --> 1:43:17.800 Let's let's be clear. You owe it, and contractually you 1:43:17.880 --> 1:43:19.640 got to get that money back and then you got to. 1:43:19.640 --> 1:43:19.960 Go through it. 1:43:20.000 --> 1:43:22.240 Well, actually, it's not even about contracts and moneys and 1:43:22.320 --> 1:43:26.960 recoups at that stage. It's about visibility, right because guess what, 1:43:27.120 --> 1:43:29.200 when you're out there and you're visible, the money gonna come. 1:43:29.400 --> 1:43:31.439 You can work, especially when you're bring out great product, right, 1:43:31.800 --> 1:43:34.360 But if you don't have the push and you're not visible, 1:43:34.600 --> 1:43:35.880 I don't care how dope you shit is. 1:43:36.040 --> 1:43:38.760 Nobody If nobody hears that, nobody can react to it. Right. 1:43:38.880 --> 1:43:41.640 So this the money that they're putting in you that 1:43:41.760 --> 1:43:43.960 gives you the exposure that you need to make money. 1:43:44.520 --> 1:43:47.080 So yeah, they're recouping, but you also have an avenue 1:43:47.120 --> 1:43:49.880 to make more money like music should. Also, your brand 1:43:50.000 --> 1:43:50.760 is larger. 1:43:50.720 --> 1:43:52.080 Right, your brand is larger. 1:43:52.280 --> 1:43:53.160 Opportunities come. 1:43:53.400 --> 1:43:56.400 There's revenue and the opportunities from a ubstantial of making 1:43:56.479 --> 1:43:58.960 money that comes to you that the label don't share in. 1:43:59.640 --> 1:44:01.920 So that's really the bad. But this is the thing, 1:44:02.000 --> 1:44:03.880 this is what I'm always telling them. The percentage of 1:44:03.960 --> 1:44:06.639 the people that are successful in that system are smaller. 1:44:06.960 --> 1:44:10.320 So what I always advocate is be independent, to go 1:44:10.479 --> 1:44:12.360 to a major and take advantage of a deal that 1:44:12.400 --> 1:44:15.560 you could do with major because you're already independent, versus. 1:44:15.479 --> 1:44:18.479 You go in the fresh. You're gonna be taking advantage 1:44:18.479 --> 1:44:20.280 of fresh. You're gonna be on the shelf, right listen, 1:44:20.640 --> 1:44:23.120 that's successful. It's small. 1:44:23.280 --> 1:44:28.600 Absolutely. The greatest example the other day because you know, 1:44:28.880 --> 1:44:30.400 like I said, I would going to Paris for my 1:44:30.560 --> 1:44:34.640 wife's birthday, and I remember me going to Europe and 1:44:34.760 --> 1:44:38.479 me being able to do a component Noriega show, a 1:44:38.720 --> 1:44:43.000 Nori hosting, and then the Nori Latin show like all 1:44:43.080 --> 1:44:45.599 in one day because I was I was three different 1:44:45.680 --> 1:44:47.439 artists to these guys and they didn't see me but 1:44:47.560 --> 1:44:49.280 I wouldn't been able to pull that off as an 1:44:49.280 --> 1:44:49.920 independent art. 1:44:49.920 --> 1:44:51.680 But you were in the heyday of the labels, of 1:44:51.760 --> 1:44:54.320 the heyday of the industry, and you were you were 1:44:54.920 --> 1:44:55.760 reggae Thrombow. 1:44:55.920 --> 1:44:58.120 I know, but you that was what they came through, 1:44:58.160 --> 1:44:59.960 the reggae thone hey day, but it wasn't hip hop. 1:45:00.479 --> 1:45:02.200 No, but you still had what you were doing already 1:45:02.240 --> 1:45:05.240 from the past. Yes, you had past hit single on 1:45:05.320 --> 1:45:06.960 a major lader. I was trying to say, I'm just 1:45:07.000 --> 1:45:08.479 saying that. It's what I'm trying to say, is you 1:45:08.600 --> 1:45:11.680 are that percentage, that top percentage that did get through 1:45:12.160 --> 1:45:13.920 and could take advantage of that major deal. 1:45:14.479 --> 1:45:16.320 No, I think I took risk to be a part 1:45:16.360 --> 1:45:18.519 of that Percentagecause you gotta remember, like even like when 1:45:18.560 --> 1:45:21.080 I did, everyone laughed at me, included him, you know, 1:45:21.400 --> 1:45:26.519 everyone was everyone laughed at as a Latino hip hop 1:45:26.600 --> 1:45:32.479 headsprints and hip hop is him and Fat Joe and 1:45:32.520 --> 1:45:33.600 they both was like, don't do that. 1:45:33.720 --> 1:45:33.960 Ship. 1:45:34.640 --> 1:45:37.439 I'm like, yo, what But at least years later they 1:45:37.520 --> 1:45:41.160 was like, we were wrong. But you know, we got 1:45:41.280 --> 1:45:43.600 to realize I had to go against the machine that 1:45:43.720 --> 1:45:45.840 was actually going against the machine. When I brung the 1:45:45.920 --> 1:45:47.519 record to depth. Jam I kid you not, this is 1:45:47.560 --> 1:45:49.639 a real story. I burned the record to death. 1:45:49.720 --> 1:45:49.880 Jam. 1:45:49.920 --> 1:45:54.120 I was like, yo, I want to put this out. 1:45:54.680 --> 1:45:56.559 And then they looked at they they laughed at me too. 1:45:56.600 --> 1:45:59.479 They was like, you wonder what I was like, I 1:45:59.560 --> 1:46:05.840 want to body and they looking at me like you're 1:46:06.000 --> 1:46:08.680 a hip hop artist. They didn't know what reggae throne was. 1:46:09.120 --> 1:46:11.280 I was like, yo, this is music in Puerto Rico. 1:46:11.720 --> 1:46:12.479 I love that ship. 1:46:13.400 --> 1:46:15.200 I love this ship. And they were like, they were 1:46:15.280 --> 1:46:20.120 looking at me like this this is your Remember how 1:46:20.479 --> 1:46:23.720 game gang Star? Gang Star did the jazz album, and 1:46:23.800 --> 1:46:28.480 I remember good to the Jazz album. I could imagine 1:46:28.960 --> 1:46:32.640 you know, you know it's it's Beyonce later on the 1:46:32.760 --> 1:46:37.519 Spanish album so Many, But I was the first and 1:46:37.600 --> 1:46:40.280 I'm looking at that and they like, because you know, 1:46:40.360 --> 1:46:42.360 I got the war report. I made the war report. 1:46:42.720 --> 1:46:44.839 And They're looking at me like this is the exact 1:46:46.000 --> 1:46:48.800 But I'm like, I'm like, but I'm Puerto Rican, Like 1:46:48.920 --> 1:46:51.120 why can should I be held to it? So I did, 1:46:51.240 --> 1:46:53.600 like I said, I went against the masters. And it 1:46:53.680 --> 1:46:57.320 went from this is this is a real story. Kevin 1:46:57.479 --> 1:47:01.000 Laws is my boy, Kevin Lowles said, I said I'm 1:47:01.000 --> 1:47:03.640 gonna take this record and I'm gonna give it to uh. 1:47:04.439 --> 1:47:06.760 I will give it to just the Spanish DJs. So 1:47:06.920 --> 1:47:08.880 I didn't even give it to no black DJs, no 1:47:09.000 --> 1:47:11.919 white DJs. I gave it the DJ enough DJ Camillo, 1:47:12.760 --> 1:47:18.120 Felly fat foun what's my other man, Julio g uh. 1:47:20.439 --> 1:47:22.000 If it was just lat and I gave it to you, 1:47:22.000 --> 1:47:23.360 I gave it to him. He ain't play that ship, 1:47:28.240 --> 1:47:32.920 say I joking.

I 1:48:16.120 --> 1:48:19.000 had one hundred and forty million audience. I remember. I 1:48:19.160 --> 1:48:21.080 remember l A Reed coming to me. It was like 1:48:22.280 --> 1:48:25.240 you you you beat Mariah Carry this month. And I 1:48:25.240 --> 1:48:28.080 didn't know what that meant, but I know what it meant. Yes, 1:48:28.120 --> 1:48:29.479 I said that was shoot. 1:48:29.560 --> 1:48:33.240 I said, holy mor biggest female artists on a planet. 1:48:33.720 --> 1:48:35.120 And I'm gonna tell you something. This is the first 1:48:35.200 --> 1:48:38.000 time I knew that New York had seven radio stations. 1:48:38.200 --> 1:48:40.760 I had only knew about Hot ninety seven. I only 1:48:40.840 --> 1:48:43.120 knew about Power one on five. I had nothing to 1:48:43.240 --> 1:48:45.599 know about k T You. I never knew about mag 1:48:45.960 --> 1:48:49.880 Bad GUYE I never I never knew about I never 1:48:49.960 --> 1:48:55.160 knew about I'm doing radio now different, different, I'm on 1:48:55.439 --> 1:48:58.160 pop like I'm on pop. The record was so big. 1:48:58.240 --> 1:49:01.400 I remember me. The record was so big one time. 1:49:01.439 --> 1:49:03.400 I remember me being the club and the dude just 1:49:03.439 --> 1:49:04.799 bumping into me and gone. 1:49:07.280 --> 1:49:09.720 Just looking at He's ice frilling me, singing me. 1:49:11.880 --> 1:49:17.519 I just say, you a legend. No, but so I 1:49:17.600 --> 1:49:20.720 say that to say, I said, to say, now, look 1:49:20.720 --> 1:49:24.040 at the trifecta of that they go got the wrong 1:49:24.160 --> 1:49:28.479 was originally on that record. They got it on and 1:49:28.600 --> 1:49:32.000 Daddy Yankee took two different approaches. When Dago was on 1:49:32.120 --> 1:49:36.000 the record, the record was spiked in just Latino community. 1:49:36.200 --> 1:49:39.880 Daddy Yankee made a deal with Interschool Intersco said it's 1:49:39.920 --> 1:49:42.439 in their best interest to help depth Caam blow him 1:49:42.520 --> 1:49:47.599 up on my condo. And then and then and then 1:49:47.760 --> 1:49:51.479 we helped them on Gasolina remakes and look how look 1:49:51.560 --> 1:49:54.360 how because a two major. I'm not trying to get 1:49:54.400 --> 1:49:56.280 you the course over your major side, but I'm just 1:49:57.439 --> 1:49:59.240 I'm just give you a sam. No, I'm sorry, cause 1:49:59.240 --> 1:50:00.680 I keep looking at you. I want you to think like, 1:50:00.840 --> 1:50:02.360 but what I'm saying is, look, look look at that 1:50:03.160 --> 1:50:06.840 had had had those because if you look at the two, 1:50:07.560 --> 1:50:10.479 it's five of the major records that hit reggae throne. Right, 1:50:11.040 --> 1:50:14.520 I believe it's reggae thro Latino. I believe it's Gasolina 1:50:15.200 --> 1:50:18.720 And but you know you actually make it My point. No, No, 1:50:18.920 --> 1:50:21.840 what I'm saying is if you do something independently improve it, 1:50:22.439 --> 1:50:24.759 then it gives you more leverage and not in the machine. 1:50:24.760 --> 1:50:25.120 I got you. 1:50:25.200 --> 1:50:27.240 But what I'm saying for this, for this being like 1:50:27.400 --> 1:50:30.200 so new, for it to be commercialized, for it to 1:50:30.240 --> 1:50:31.280 get on MTV. 1:50:31.439 --> 1:50:32.920 You couldn't have been independent for. 1:50:33.000 --> 1:50:35.000 It to get on exactly but you. 1:50:35.120 --> 1:50:37.760 But you started the buzz independently. Nobody believed in it, 1:50:37.840 --> 1:50:40.120 right absolutely, that was my point. 1:50:40.320 --> 1:50:42.120 Yeah, yeah, that's yeah, that's I'm trying to say. 1:50:42.120 --> 1:50:44.639 It's like, but yeah, y'all, do know y'all both for right, yes, yes, 1:50:45.439 --> 1:50:50.440 but at the time and when you was active, independent 1:50:50.600 --> 1:50:51.200 was unheard of. 1:50:52.880 --> 1:50:53.040 Work. 1:50:53.400 --> 1:50:54.720 Yes, trust it would work. 1:50:54.720 --> 1:50:54.880 It was. 1:50:55.320 --> 1:50:59.519 But today independents are actually more effective than the majors 1:51:00.320 --> 1:51:03.519 because of the new technologies and all the other you know, yeah, 1:51:03.880 --> 1:51:05.840 and because of streaming, but all the resource that's been 1:51:05.920 --> 1:51:07.960 created for the user. 1:51:08.200 --> 1:51:10.640 Well, the thing is independent works depending on what you 1:51:10.760 --> 1:51:12.160 want out of being independent. 1:51:12.360 --> 1:51:12.479 Right. 1:51:12.640 --> 1:51:15.200 If if someone's trying to be big and they want 1:51:15.240 --> 1:51:17.840 to make certain kind of bread, maybe it wouldn't work. 1:51:17.920 --> 1:51:20.920 But maybe someone wants more creative you know, luxuries to 1:51:20.920 --> 1:51:22.160 be able to do whatever the fuck they want. 1:51:22.240 --> 1:51:23.760 I mean, you give you that with a major as well. 1:51:24.080 --> 1:51:27.120 The only difference is the audience knows the difference between 1:51:27.880 --> 1:51:31.120 a major push and an independent push and it's just 1:51:31.280 --> 1:51:34.960 unfortunate that today's audience now they rather support the underdog, 1:51:35.360 --> 1:51:38.240 right well, they don't even know anymore because they know 1:51:38.680 --> 1:51:45.080 they knew is when SoundCloud became what it was, because 1:51:45.120 --> 1:51:48.679 that was the home of the underdogs. SoundCloud became where 1:51:48.680 --> 1:51:52.240 all the majors started picking from, like all of. 1:51:52.320 --> 1:51:54.840 Them, you know what I'm saying. And that's what they 1:51:54.880 --> 1:51:59.600 stopped artists development. Now it's TikTok. I can't stand TikTok. Now, tiktoki. 1:52:00.360 --> 1:52:04.479 I can't even I can't stand. I can't stand it, yo. 1:52:04.600 --> 1:52:09.120 But let's talk about ring tones. Was that something that 1:52:09.240 --> 1:52:09.479 that that? 1:52:09.680 --> 1:52:13.439 Because that's crazy that that's like non existent really how 1:52:13.479 --> 1:52:14.000 big it was. 1:52:14.479 --> 1:52:16.720 But that was the first time. I don't know if 1:52:16.720 --> 1:52:19.439 you've seen Snoop recently, Snoopers like, man, he was talking 1:52:19.479 --> 1:52:21.920 to Larry Jackson. He's like, Larry Jackson's talking all this 1:52:22.000 --> 1:52:25.080 crazy ship. But I'm priatephras and obviously, and he's like, 1:52:25.200 --> 1:52:27.639 but us as artists, we don't even know how much 1:52:27.680 --> 1:52:31.120 we get a stream. We don't really tell, you know, 1:52:31.320 --> 1:52:36.240 but uh, how do you what? 1:52:37.320 --> 1:52:37.799 Ringtones? 1:52:38.840 --> 1:52:41.920 So Ringtones the first time I complain because I was 1:52:42.000 --> 1:52:43.960 just like what the fuck is this ship? Like, why 1:52:44.040 --> 1:52:46.960 is my ship platinum? And I'm not receiving nothing for it? 1:52:47.040 --> 1:52:50.519 What I understood was it was going under electronical rights. Yeah, 1:52:51.160 --> 1:52:53.479 you you you signed over your digital rights digital rights. 1:52:53.520 --> 1:52:55.280 I didn't. I didn't know about that. That's what I 1:52:55.280 --> 1:52:55.799 don't think. 1:52:57.640 --> 1:53:00.280 It wasn't You heard it too to it. 1:53:00.560 --> 1:53:02.040 But it wasn't there that the word. 1:53:01.920 --> 1:53:04.160 Digital wasn't it At the time when when you signed 1:53:04.200 --> 1:53:07.519 your original contract, it was that language wasn't there. But 1:53:07.640 --> 1:53:10.960 at the second time, when they renegotiated a little bit 1:53:11.000 --> 1:53:11.639 more money. 1:53:11.960 --> 1:53:13.679 You ain't even care what that was. You just wanted 1:53:13.720 --> 1:53:19.280 that money. Yeah, I got a I got this clearly 1:53:19.360 --> 1:53:22.080 said digital right. No, I got disagree. I don't think 1:53:22.120 --> 1:53:23.000 it was dead. I don't think it was. 1:53:23.320 --> 1:53:26.800 I promise you where year was that this was? Well, well, 1:53:27.920 --> 1:53:30.479 any year, any year after two thousand and six. 1:53:31.000 --> 1:53:35.200 Yeah no, no, no, no, wait, because they changed they 1:53:35.320 --> 1:53:38.320 changed the language in two thousand and four. Okay, okay, 1:53:39.040 --> 1:53:40.960 most people ain't start catching to two thousand and six. 1:53:41.360 --> 1:53:42.439 That's probably when I caught it. 1:53:43.320 --> 1:53:46.280 You caught chosen you're on the renegotiation. That's where a 1:53:46.360 --> 1:53:48.559 lot of people got hit. Okay, that's where a lot 1:53:48.560 --> 1:53:51.040 of people got hit. See what what made me a 1:53:51.080 --> 1:53:54.599 little bit different was I was a businessman first, right, 1:53:55.160 --> 1:53:57.960 and then when we and it started because s r 1:53:58.080 --> 1:54:00.800 C was a little bit slow on so in situations too, 1:54:00.840 --> 1:54:02.280 because they had a boutique label. 1:54:02.720 --> 1:54:04.600 They were just distributed by major. 1:54:04.720 --> 1:54:07.200 So it gave me more time to understand what was 1:54:07.240 --> 1:54:09.280 going on, understand the business a little bit more because 1:54:09.280 --> 1:54:10.439 Steve Riffins was wide open. 1:54:10.520 --> 1:54:13.040 He was very transparent about it's work, right. 1:54:13.200 --> 1:54:17.160 So God, So I'm looking at how much singles were selling, 1:54:17.600 --> 1:54:20.840 but then the ring tones everywhere I go. I would 1:54:20.880 --> 1:54:25.720 hear songs on people's phones and I say, yo, how much? 1:54:25.920 --> 1:54:27.880 Like how much is that that you're paying for? They 1:54:27.920 --> 1:54:33.080 said fort ninety nine. I said, damn, that's for like 1:54:33.120 --> 1:54:36.200 a couple of seconds fort ninety nine and were selling 1:54:36.240 --> 1:54:38.320 singles for one ninety nine for four minutes. 1:54:39.440 --> 1:54:41.520 I said, wait, hold on, this is different. How much? 1:54:41.600 --> 1:54:42.760 Let me find out how much I'm getting. 1:54:42.800 --> 1:54:45.200 So I call my turn I say, yo, how much 1:54:45.240 --> 1:54:47.760 do I make from those ringtones if somebody use my phone? 1:54:48.000 --> 1:54:50.960 He said, well, let me check your contract. He said, oh, well, 1:54:51.240 --> 1:54:52.920 I don't know, it's not in your contract. I said, 1:54:53.000 --> 1:54:54.720 what do you mean, it's not in my contract. He said, 1:54:54.760 --> 1:54:57.320 it's not in here. It says nothing about ringtone sells 1:54:57.360 --> 1:55:01.200 anything digital. So that that stuff with me. So then 1:55:01.720 --> 1:55:05.800 I started making music. Specifically, put the phone because it's 1:55:05.880 --> 1:55:09.960 four ninety nine for a few seconds. Any basic businessman, 1:55:10.000 --> 1:55:11.320 I tell you that's where the money is. 1:55:12.560 --> 1:55:15.720 So every song that we was releasing was very ring 1:55:15.840 --> 1:55:19.280 tone friendly, especially mister Lonely Right. 1:55:19.560 --> 1:55:22.280 So then we put that thing original TikTok boom. 1:55:22.400 --> 1:55:23.440 It is definitely good. 1:55:24.040 --> 1:55:27.920 Describe it, yes, right now, you know what I'm saying. 1:55:28.080 --> 1:55:30.040 So then we put the records out, but we would 1:55:30.040 --> 1:55:32.200 always make ring tone versions, chop them up into the 1:55:32.640 --> 1:55:33.920 different parts of the song we chopped. 1:55:33.960 --> 1:55:35.880 That was like my main focus. I didn't care about 1:55:35.920 --> 1:55:37.920 the singles and we just focused on the folks. 1:55:37.920 --> 1:55:40.200 Every record I produced, I made sure it's ringtone friendly, 1:55:40.200 --> 1:55:43.480 pup and before you know it, bro we was making 1:55:43.600 --> 1:55:45.040 so much on ring tones. 1:55:45.320 --> 1:55:47.240 But it was money sitting in the pipeline. 1:55:47.640 --> 1:55:48.520 You had to go claim it. 1:55:49.200 --> 1:55:52.400 Yes, And they think I ain't know, but I knew 1:55:53.480 --> 1:55:56.120 because they don't know that I knew. So I'm just 1:55:56.240 --> 1:55:59.400 letting the pile up. Letting the pile up. Renegotiation came. 1:56:01.680 --> 1:56:05.959 Nigga, I gotta put it down female a city. 1:56:09.720 --> 1:56:13.080 Boy. They tried to split that digital language, and I said, 1:56:16.160 --> 1:56:19.320 that's a separate deal all together. I advanced for the 1:56:19.400 --> 1:56:22.000 digital side because I bro At that time, I was 1:56:22.040 --> 1:56:23.760 in a Guinness Book of World Records for the most 1:56:23.840 --> 1:56:28.720 ring tone sold ever, I mean, above Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, 1:56:29.040 --> 1:56:33.760 any catalog beetles. It didn't matter. We trumped everybody. So 1:56:33.880 --> 1:56:37.200 we just waited and you made a separate deal. First, 1:56:38.000 --> 1:56:39.480 digital was a whole nother deal. They had nothing to 1:56:39.480 --> 1:56:42.600 do it and lot sales and tapes and CDs. This 1:56:42.760 --> 1:56:44.480 is digital's hold us something. We don't even know what 1:56:44.560 --> 1:56:46.640 this is yet, you know what I'm saying. And that's 1:56:46.680 --> 1:56:50.680 where ringtos first fell on the exactly anything. 1:56:50.720 --> 1:56:52.400 I'm like, digital's too broad. 1:56:52.920 --> 1:56:56.280 Let's break that down, like what you meant? 1:56:56.680 --> 1:56:59.000 You know, Yeah, it's too broad. 1:56:59.360 --> 1:57:01.080 And these contras do that to you because they can, 1:57:01.160 --> 1:57:03.520 they can actually win because it actually literally is and 1:57:03.600 --> 1:57:06.440 they counting on you not really reading the contract, they 1:57:06.560 --> 1:57:08.040 counting on you not understanding it. 1:57:08.520 --> 1:57:11.320 But what's interesting is even the attorneys at that time 1:57:11.720 --> 1:57:14.640 didn't really understand it because those guys are just guys 1:57:14.720 --> 1:57:17.920 sitting in the office. But I was always a tech tech. 1:57:18.040 --> 1:57:19.960 I was just always tech. I was always ahead of text. 1:57:20.000 --> 1:57:21.600 This is some of our tech that I just I was. 1:57:21.640 --> 1:57:23.400 I just always loved you know what I'm saying. So 1:57:23.760 --> 1:57:26.240 the word digital mad, I knew exactly what that meant. 1:57:26.320 --> 1:57:28.880 But I also knew where the world was going. And 1:57:28.960 --> 1:57:30.760 I just ain't want nothing to come and you know, 1:57:31.000 --> 1:57:32.760 and I want to be a part of everything. So 1:57:32.840 --> 1:57:35.400 I said, no, let's let's define what this is specifically, 1:57:35.680 --> 1:57:38.560 so if some a new technology come, we can define 1:57:38.640 --> 1:57:39.840 that as it comes. 1:57:39.560 --> 1:57:40.080 You know what I'm saying. 1:57:40.240 --> 1:57:42.200 So was iTunes back then? 1:57:42.400 --> 1:57:42.440 No? 1:57:42.600 --> 1:57:47.120 iTunes At that time they was fighting against Napster least 1:57:47.120 --> 1:57:47.800 the ship for free. 1:57:50.520 --> 1:57:54.720 Yeah, Nash is the beginning of streaming. Honestly, they the 1:57:54.800 --> 1:57:57.400 godfather in the stream. I put that and they said 1:57:57.440 --> 1:57:59.720 that music was going to be free for all. They 1:57:59.760 --> 1:58:04.160 could not understanding. Look at today. I remember when I 1:58:04.200 --> 1:58:06.360 went on down Stock, I cried. They had all my 1:58:06.440 --> 1:58:07.040 shit on there. 1:58:07.080 --> 1:58:10.880 I was like, oh, it's like, oh my god, what 1:58:10.960 --> 1:58:12.640 do you do? What do you playing to? 1:58:12.960 --> 1:58:13.080 Right? 1:58:13.240 --> 1:58:13.280 Like? 1:58:13.400 --> 1:58:15.560 Because I don't be one people who listen to myself 1:58:15.640 --> 1:58:16.640 for free? Fuck that. 1:58:16.960 --> 1:58:21.000 Fuck them fighting the bootleggings. You're beating up the poor bootlegs. 1:58:24.640 --> 1:58:28.000 Let's go on, what are you doing here? Okay, So 1:58:28.200 --> 1:58:30.680 in the vein of seeing the future and the technology, 1:58:30.720 --> 1:58:31.960 what are you thinking now about AI? 1:58:32.280 --> 1:58:34.560 What's that? Where is that going for? It is dangerous? Yes, 1:58:35.160 --> 1:58:37.520 it's dangerous. Can do a whole album with you. You 1:58:37.560 --> 1:58:40.600 ain't even gotta be there. I mean there's a lot 1:58:40.640 --> 1:58:41.680 of different aspects to it. 1:58:41.800 --> 1:58:43.680 Yeah, that's not Yeah, that's not the part of scares 1:58:43.680 --> 1:58:45.200 me because, like I told you, when I look at 1:58:45.480 --> 1:58:49.120 I'm thinking about twenty five years from now, AI has 1:58:49.240 --> 1:58:51.480 created It's almost like you know how they got the 1:58:51.520 --> 1:58:54.600 saying that everything you see in the movies eventually happens. 1:58:55.560 --> 1:59:00.160 It's actually very true. Robot everything very matrix terminated. Let 1:59:00.200 --> 1:59:02.920 me play how let me play how I robot? 1:59:03.160 --> 1:59:06.600 And this actually relates. Okay, we're talking about AI. This 1:59:06.720 --> 1:59:07.680 is machine learning. 1:59:07.960 --> 1:59:08.120 Yep. 1:59:08.640 --> 1:59:10.839 The problem with about the problem with us is humans. 1:59:11.880 --> 1:59:15.880 We are just very arrogant and we're super greedy. It's 1:59:15.960 --> 1:59:18.040 never enough for us. It always got to be more. 1:59:18.560 --> 1:59:20.919 We always want more. Right as if right now world. 1:59:20.840 --> 1:59:22.440 Amazing that we just ain't satisfied. 1:59:22.720 --> 1:59:25.920 We just got to build better, right, Why let me 1:59:26.000 --> 1:59:26.720 play with with with. 1:59:26.880 --> 1:59:29.360 With machines or computers. 1:59:29.400 --> 1:59:33.880 For instance, when you build a computer that can teach 1:59:33.920 --> 1:59:38.560 itself to teach yourself, computers already smarter than we are. 1:59:38.760 --> 1:59:41.560 Right, right, because of the computing power, how fast they 1:59:41.600 --> 1:59:44.280 can right, computer is already smarter than us. 1:59:44.320 --> 1:59:46.400 This is the process, right, So now imagine when the 1:59:46.560 --> 1:59:48.160 when the when the computer. 1:59:47.960 --> 1:59:49.480 Itself can teach itself. 1:59:50.480 --> 1:59:52.920 What happens is it'll start teaching itself things that we 1:59:53.080 --> 1:59:54.120 can't uncold. 1:59:55.360 --> 1:59:58.440 Could we code itself. It's thank you, it'll code itself. 1:59:58.600 --> 2:00:00.920 You can't control with the coldes because depending on the 2:00:01.040 --> 2:00:05.320 original programmer, whether he's thinking positive or negative, whether it's 2:00:05.320 --> 2:00:07.840 someone that want to change the world or destroy the world. 2:00:08.240 --> 2:00:10.600 That's where it becomes complicated, because if you find somebody 2:00:10.680 --> 2:00:13.880 that's creating situations that's in his best interest, and he 2:00:14.000 --> 2:00:15.160 may just be smart. 2:00:14.960 --> 2:00:17.720 Enough to crowd something that's gonna continue to you know, 2:00:18.200 --> 2:00:23.160 like teach yourself to a certain level. Then computers become 2:00:23.400 --> 2:00:23.800 a threat. 2:00:23.880 --> 2:00:28.800 Let's say hypothetically, computers in the security sector. Everything is 2:00:28.840 --> 2:00:31.600 a threat to the computer. It doesn't know that you're 2:00:31.600 --> 2:00:35.640 approaching me with good intentions. It just knows that you're 2:00:35.680 --> 2:00:38.360 walking up on me with a gun on your you know, 2:00:38.480 --> 2:00:41.400 on your waist, and your hot and your blood pressure 2:00:41.680 --> 2:00:44.440 is spiked up, maybe just because you just take blood 2:00:44.440 --> 2:00:45.200 pressure medicine. 2:00:46.440 --> 2:00:46.560 Right. 2:00:46.840 --> 2:00:48.520 The first thing is going to happen is and that's 2:00:48.560 --> 2:00:52.000 what's happening. They're using machines for weapon. But in order 2:00:52.080 --> 2:00:53.520 to make a weapon, you also got to make something 2:00:53.560 --> 2:00:57.000 that's gonna protect. Right, So what's gonna happen is everybody 2:00:57.080 --> 2:01:02.200 that's actually against AI comes a threat now, so guess 2:01:02.240 --> 2:01:04.960 what they have to create machines to protect us from 2:01:05.080 --> 2:01:11.280 those who are against it, right, imagine that. Right, let's 2:01:11.280 --> 2:01:13.400 just say we don't want man, we're not for that. Okay, 2:01:13.440 --> 2:01:16.440 we're already on record. They know where we live, they 2:01:16.520 --> 2:01:18.879 know where we at all times. They have all our information, 2:01:19.080 --> 2:01:21.440 all our data, meta data, everything about us. They know, 2:01:21.600 --> 2:01:23.920 bro all just trying to figure out if you getting tapped. Yes, nigga, 2:01:23.960 --> 2:01:27.080 you are, bottom line, they know everything. That's how AI 2:01:27.200 --> 2:01:29.640 is even existing the day with all this information. Right, 2:01:29.800 --> 2:01:32.200 so now they know that we're against AI, so called 2:01:32.240 --> 2:01:35.040 against AI, we're already a threat to the system. So 2:01:35.200 --> 2:01:38.840 now those machines are watching us, checking for us. The 2:01:38.960 --> 2:01:41.080 moment we make a move that feels that it's a 2:01:41.120 --> 2:01:43.520 threat to the whole situation, we are terminated. 2:01:43.840 --> 2:01:46.600 And it can calculate your moves because they get and say, okay, 2:01:46.640 --> 2:01:46.800 this is. 2:01:46.800 --> 2:01:51.240 Probably thing, So now let's take it further. Right, they 2:01:51.280 --> 2:01:54.640 didn't already dealt with the ones that's against it. Now 2:01:54.720 --> 2:01:56.440 the ones that's against it got families. 2:01:56.920 --> 2:01:58.200 They go against them too. 2:01:58.640 --> 2:02:00.520 Now they're against it. It's just a matter of time 2:02:00.560 --> 2:02:03.000 before those machines turn from protecting. 2:02:02.640 --> 2:02:03.920 Us to go in after us. 2:02:05.360 --> 2:02:07.920 I mean, it may not happen like this, but it's 2:02:08.000 --> 2:02:10.160 just a matter of time because the more the machines 2:02:10.200 --> 2:02:13.640 get smarter they become, they become what takes control of everything. 2:02:13.920 --> 2:02:16.839 Guess how many jobs are gonna get lost? Yep, millions 2:02:16.880 --> 2:02:17.240 of jobs. 2:02:17.280 --> 2:02:19.520 I already seen the garbage truck with no garbage men. 2:02:19.640 --> 2:02:21.440 Now we take it even a step further. So the 2:02:21.520 --> 2:02:24.080 people that lost millions of jobs right, ain't got no 2:02:24.160 --> 2:02:25.520 way to feed their family. What they're gonna do. 2:02:25.560 --> 2:02:26.960 They're gonna turn to the street to turn it some 2:02:28.000 --> 2:02:30.440 against their own nature to feed their families. 2:02:30.800 --> 2:02:32.360 So now they've become the outlaw. 2:02:32.960 --> 2:02:35.000 And guess why I got to get protected from the machines, 2:02:35.040 --> 2:02:37.320 not have to protect those outlaws that lost all their 2:02:37.400 --> 2:02:40.000 jobs because of the machines to feed their families, and 2:02:40.080 --> 2:02:42.000 they become a threat and before you know it, some 2:02:42.160 --> 2:02:43.040 tragic's gonna happen. 2:02:43.080 --> 2:02:45.720 It's just a matter of time before we kill ourselves. Yeah, 2:02:45.720 --> 2:02:47.480 I mean, it's not really far and that's just going 2:02:47.600 --> 2:02:48.280 that way. What it could do. 2:02:48.320 --> 2:02:50.280 I mean it could be as simple as AI is 2:02:50.320 --> 2:02:54.000 created to protect the environment. Who's the worst person against 2:02:54.000 --> 2:02:54.560 the environment. 2:02:54.720 --> 2:02:55.600 It's the human things. 2:02:55.680 --> 2:02:58.200 And then the says the humans the problem because we 2:02:58.320 --> 2:03:01.200 are humans controlling the a I don't know, we. 2:03:03.320 --> 2:03:06.360 Are always doing so. It's this is why it is dangerous. 2:03:06.600 --> 2:03:09.720 One like this is why is dangerous? Wizard behind this 2:03:10.040 --> 2:03:13.840 was dangerous? Nobody who controlling this is? We created it 2:03:14.800 --> 2:03:20.240 to teach and control itself. It's intelligence, artificial intelligence. It 2:03:20.360 --> 2:03:20.720 teaches it. 2:03:21.160 --> 2:03:24.120 There's there's no there's no senses of it. It doesn't 2:03:24.120 --> 2:03:25.879 have feeling, it doesn't have emotion. 2:03:26.480 --> 2:03:29.160 It does a big like place somewhere where we like, 2:03:29.320 --> 2:03:30.160 as did. 2:03:31.760 --> 2:03:35.640 Multiple companies and governments, like he said, there's multiple entities 2:03:36.040 --> 2:03:38.680 doing it in their own way however they want, right, 2:03:38.760 --> 2:03:40.440 But there's there was an AI that taught itself in 2:03:40.520 --> 2:03:43.839 a language that was never programmed to even learn a language, 2:03:45.480 --> 2:03:47.720 tought itself banglades Bangladeshi or whatever. 2:03:47.640 --> 2:03:56.840 The name of the languages, but you know, Banglo, Banglanese, whatever, but. 2:03:56.880 --> 2:03:58.120 I thought itself a language. 2:03:58.160 --> 2:04:01.520 But that's wild that a computer taught itself a language 2:04:01.640 --> 2:04:03.600 without being programmed to do that, right. 2:04:04.040 --> 2:04:06.040 The problem is we can't control it once it gets 2:04:06.040 --> 2:04:08.200 to the point of teaching itself, right, because when it 2:04:08.240 --> 2:04:09.480 starts to teach yourself, it acts on. 2:04:09.520 --> 2:04:10.320 What it teaches itself. 2:04:11.280 --> 2:04:13.880 So yeah, you can turn it off, all right, cool, 2:04:13.920 --> 2:04:15.560 But there's a million other ones that's open right now 2:04:15.600 --> 2:04:17.840 that's still plugged in then when they are But you 2:04:17.880 --> 2:04:20.000 used to have a big database in every part of 2:04:20.040 --> 2:04:22.440 the world because they always got separate database in case 2:04:22.480 --> 2:04:24.440 one go wrong and one get bombed or whatever. But 2:04:24.560 --> 2:04:28.480 we're just talking just basic analogies' hypotheticals. But now we're 2:04:28.480 --> 2:04:31.000 talking about war because really AI is really to gain 2:04:31.080 --> 2:04:33.400 knowledge and be able to gain positioning when it comes 2:04:33.400 --> 2:04:36.560 to war, threat from other countries and other foreign nations 2:04:36.600 --> 2:04:37.600 and whatever the case may be. 2:04:38.040 --> 2:04:40.240 But the problem is the world is living on fear. 2:04:40.840 --> 2:04:41.720 Right as long as we. 2:04:41.800 --> 2:04:42.280 Living on fear. 2:04:42.320 --> 2:04:44.400 Everything is a threat. So as long as everything's a threat, 2:04:44.480 --> 2:04:46.720 nobody's safe. That's the problem. 2:04:46.880 --> 2:04:49.800 There's an arm race, arms race to create app Every 2:04:49.840 --> 2:04:50.560 government is doing it. 2:04:50.600 --> 2:04:52.840 Everybody's doing it just but they're doing it to use 2:04:52.880 --> 2:04:55.080 it as a weapon though. That's what's dangerous. That's the 2:04:55.080 --> 2:04:55.720 scarier part. 2:04:56.200 --> 2:04:58.400 I thought they was doing it just to use Biggie and. 2:04:58.400 --> 2:05:03.360 Prodigy versus you ain't hear Ice Cube Ice said, he said, 2:05:03.760 --> 2:05:06.320 is the mark? He said, you used my voice. I'm 2:05:06.320 --> 2:05:07.680 showing you in any platform. 2:05:07.360 --> 2:05:12.840 To post it. And I and I agree, that's music 2:05:13.000 --> 2:05:15.560 is actually was the biggest threat. I'm like, you got 2:05:16.000 --> 2:05:17.920 your own Biggie boy. I mean, if you're talking about 2:05:18.680 --> 2:05:23.000 that's you're thinking for music, for musical, You're right, it's 2:05:23.080 --> 2:05:25.520 endless things. I heard. I heard Biggie spit in New 2:05:25.600 --> 2:05:27.480 York state of mind. I said, wait a minute, that's 2:05:27.560 --> 2:05:28.480 not But what you. 2:05:28.520 --> 2:05:30.520 Got to worry about is when Nori is calling the 2:05:30.560 --> 2:05:32.680 police and say I admit to this crime. That's what 2:05:32.760 --> 2:05:37.120 you gotta worry about. That's what the everyday person's voice being. 2:05:37.120 --> 2:05:39.800 Used, right, and that could be done by your baby mama. 2:05:39.840 --> 2:05:40.320 I don't like you. 2:05:41.680 --> 2:05:49.320 I'm glad that one knows me because you got like 2:05:49.400 --> 2:05:53.440 nine wives. Right, no comments, you said it last time, 2:05:53.960 --> 2:05:58.760 no comment, you wind that back. I learned my lesson. 2:06:13.320 --> 2:06:16.880 That's like more making the record or performing it. 2:06:17.920 --> 2:06:18.640 That's yeah, me. 2:06:18.800 --> 2:06:21.840 I like both, man, Yeah, I like both because it's 2:06:21.920 --> 2:06:25.040 nothing like making the record and creating something and you're like, Dann, 2:06:25.080 --> 2:06:26.960 this is crazy. But then when you see how other 2:06:27.000 --> 2:06:30.880 people are reacting to it, that that's that's the only 2:06:30.960 --> 2:06:31.840 high experience really. 2:06:32.560 --> 2:06:38.240 Yeah, so both, Yeah, definitely place to perform Africa, Africa, 2:06:38.440 --> 2:06:43.040 Yeah or Africa, it don't matter. Africa is always crazy. Wow, 2:06:43.400 --> 2:06:47.840 always crazy. India always crazy India. India is always crazy. 2:06:47.920 --> 2:06:52.960 Mumbai, Mumbai, mum by m bye. You don't have to 2:06:53.080 --> 2:07:02.400 use your your eyebrows to say about man. 2:07:03.000 --> 2:07:05.560 Man what riga again? 2:07:09.680 --> 2:07:10.800 Yeah? 2:07:11.360 --> 2:07:13.040 Rather loud you go. 2:07:13.200 --> 2:07:25.800 Viral and Mumbai Now so what that's the nucleus boy? 2:07:25.920 --> 2:07:28.760 Without that man, that'd be no acon by. So let 2:07:28.800 --> 2:07:32.200 me ask you, he's a slap Steve be like, YO, 2:07:32.480 --> 2:07:34.080 treat him good. That's my African. 2:07:40.360 --> 2:07:42.760 Let me ask you right, like, are you in the 2:07:42.880 --> 2:07:45.360 cars like I used to be? Because I used to be. 2:07:45.440 --> 2:07:47.360 I nearly told he was in the cars I used 2:07:47.360 --> 2:07:49.320 to have like twenty cars at one time. 2:07:49.320 --> 2:07:52.600 Thirty five cars. That's the legit side, though, is the 2:07:52.680 --> 2:07:53.400 ones that you get. 2:07:55.800 --> 2:07:56.880 I'm talking about legal. 2:07:57.760 --> 2:08:02.160 Yeah, I was thirty All was white, white interior, every 2:08:02.240 --> 2:08:07.000 last huh. I mean it does comes from the mother 2:08:07.160 --> 2:08:15.200 lamb bro he was, he was, so they all was white, 2:08:15.520 --> 2:08:17.600 white interior, white interia, white exterior. 2:08:17.680 --> 2:08:20.160 So you never smoked the ship. They trying to get 2:08:20.200 --> 2:08:27.280 me up out of here. Wrap it up, independent, puppy. 2:08:27.600 --> 2:08:30.720 You know you want to come over here, party, be 2:08:30.800 --> 2:08:31.160 over here. 2:08:31.280 --> 2:08:33.440 Party. You're just talking about this record? 2:08:34.440 --> 2:08:36.680 So so damn And what are you in the muscle 2:08:36.760 --> 2:08:37.640 cars now? 2:08:37.920 --> 2:08:41.600 At the time, I was into more sports cars, Supercarsmborghini. 2:08:42.800 --> 2:08:47.040 Bugattis all that pung ganis. 2:08:47.640 --> 2:08:51.400 It's not it's not called Bugti. That's all he was 2:08:51.400 --> 2:08:51.960 pronounceing with it. 2:08:52.360 --> 2:08:54.400 You got a Bugatti and then you have a pool 2:08:54.720 --> 2:08:59.000 no Bugatti, and it was a what was it again? 2:09:00.200 --> 2:09:02.360 It's a Bugatti and a pughanikay, I don't know what 2:09:02.960 --> 2:09:05.240 is sot. 2:09:06.600 --> 2:09:08.880 Pugani at that time was more expensive than the Bugti. 2:09:08.880 --> 2:09:11.080 It's called puganis under and. 2:09:11.120 --> 2:09:11.920 Where that should come from? 2:09:12.000 --> 2:09:12.480 That's come from. 2:09:12.640 --> 2:09:16.080 It's an Italian cars. 2:09:17.080 --> 2:09:25.600 Muti pu Ghani, pum Ghani, Pugani do soth Indian. It's 2:09:25.640 --> 2:09:30.160 called look it up crazy, look like Bollywood at the time. 2:09:30.240 --> 2:09:32.920 That's that's yeah, that car. That car was more expensive 2:09:33.000 --> 2:09:36.800 than a Bugatti at that time. But you couldn't even 2:09:36.840 --> 2:09:38.760 get that in the United States because the specs didn't 2:09:38.760 --> 2:09:41.320 match the US standards. So I bought it fluid to 2:09:41.440 --> 2:09:43.200 Canada and then drove it into the States. That's how 2:09:43.200 --> 2:09:43.560 I got it in. 2:09:45.360 --> 2:09:47.720 Yeah, And the troopers from Canada let you in. They said, 2:09:47.720 --> 2:09:48.200 that's a car. 2:09:48.320 --> 2:09:51.960 Let to them now, don't care papers to get in. 2:09:52.560 --> 2:09:55.400 They like, that's a nice cars. 2:09:55.440 --> 2:09:59.680 A lot of criminals. Canada is like so far away, right, 2:10:00.000 --> 2:10:02.560 I know, Drake you yeah, Drake, Drake got the pull. 2:10:02.720 --> 2:10:05.000 Yeah, because even now today, when I go into Canada, 2:10:05.200 --> 2:10:08.000 I have to fill out the whole I gotta leave 2:10:08.040 --> 2:10:09.680 a bond, all that craziness. 2:10:09.960 --> 2:10:11.160 Wait, a bond, a fifty. 2:10:11.000 --> 2:10:13.560 Thousand dollars bond to make sure I don't start no trouble. 2:10:14.000 --> 2:10:15.440 And if I come in with no problems and they 2:10:15.480 --> 2:10:17.720 give me the money back and it's all from my 2:10:18.120 --> 2:10:21.400 like twenty twenty four, twenty five year old record from 2:10:21.440 --> 2:10:23.360 a record, yeah from twenty years ago. 2:10:23.440 --> 2:10:26.560 Bro like, but not a music record. No, like, like 2:10:26.600 --> 2:10:30.480 you're right right, oh your record. Yeah, they go back 2:10:30.480 --> 2:10:33.800 into your priors, just your arrest record, and they're using 2:10:33.840 --> 2:10:36.000 that against you now. Oh yeah yeah, but you get 2:10:36.040 --> 2:10:36.600 in all the time. 2:10:36.680 --> 2:10:38.440 So yeah, but you got to go through the whole process, 2:10:38.480 --> 2:10:40.520 getting lawyer, do the paperwork. 2:10:41.240 --> 2:10:43.160 Really, that's fuck no, yeah, Canada don't play. 2:10:43.600 --> 2:10:45.880 That's fucked up. Yeah, and they make you leave a 2:10:46.000 --> 2:10:47.160 fifty thousand dollars deposit. 2:10:47.240 --> 2:10:48.440 Ye'll leave fift thousand dollars bar. 2:10:48.680 --> 2:10:50.880 You don't smoke or get get drunk, you forget your 2:10:50.920 --> 2:10:51.480 fifty thousands. 2:10:51.520 --> 2:10:55.640 I just make the promoter pay for it.

Then from now, 2:16:17.200 --> 2:16:19.560 it's a conversation, you know what I'm saying. The conversation 2:16:19.600 --> 2:16:21.600 will always dictate the title of the song. Once you 2:16:21.680 --> 2:16:23.680 got the title, everything else is easy. 2:16:24.200 --> 2:16:25.680 To Let me ask you, if you're writing a record 2:16:25.720 --> 2:16:28.000 for somebody, is it a process that you happen to 2:16:28.040 --> 2:16:29.920 hang with them?

Like you know, when you got something that 2:16:54.360 --> 2:16:56.880 you love, you actually engage, right, So the idea is 2:16:56.920 --> 2:16:58.720 give them something that they I think that they would, 2:16:59.200 --> 2:17:01.440 that fits something within their life that they can attach 2:17:01.480 --> 2:17:04.080 themselves to.

The problem is nobody will tell you what 2:17:19.360 --> 2:17:21.400 they're going through because they have this image that they 2:17:21.480 --> 2:17:24.360 have to always portray to be bigger than the average. Right, 2:17:24.400 --> 2:17:27.280 they pretend they have no problems.

As a writer, as a producer myself, 2:20:11.280 --> 2:20:13.600 and how I read people, I believe that there's so 2:20:13.760 --> 2:20:15.680 much that she wants to talk about on her records 2:20:15.720 --> 2:20:17.840 that she doesn't do it because of who she is 2:20:17.920 --> 2:20:19.600 and what she thinks people may think about her. 2:20:20.240 --> 2:20:21.600 That's just me personal speaking, right. 2:20:21.920 --> 2:20:24.320 I think the records that she's making today are records 2:20:24.360 --> 2:20:26.440 that she just feel the younger generation will gravitate to. 2:20:27.200 --> 2:20:30.240 But I don't think it's the essence of what that is. 2:20:30.360 --> 2:20:32.840 And you're saying that lyrically and vocally, But what about production? 2:20:33.200 --> 2:20:34.840 Was production is following the lyrics. 2:20:34.879 --> 2:20:36.600 It's just following the person that's hot at the moment, 2:20:37.040 --> 2:20:38.400 a person that submits a great song. 2:20:39.160 --> 2:20:41.640 But it's so like I see her bigger. 2:20:41.920 --> 2:20:43.560 Honestly, I feel I see her as almost like a 2:20:44.720 --> 2:20:47.600 musical or artistry, like because you know, prophets come in 2:20:47.640 --> 2:20:52.080 different forms, yes, like for feminine and other. She's their 2:20:52.200 --> 2:20:56.480 profit to me, to them because she speaks into their minds, 2:20:56.520 --> 2:21:00.400 into their hearts. Like you can't say anything wrong about 2:21:00.440 --> 2:21:04.679 Beyonce to a Beyonce fan, No, that gives you a responsibility. 2:21:05.800 --> 2:21:10.320 You understand what I'm saying, Like, there's certain Beyonce records 2:21:10.480 --> 2:21:14.000 that changes people's outlook in life, and she has the 2:21:14.040 --> 2:21:16.000 potential to do that if she goes there, if she 2:21:16.160 --> 2:21:18.920 decides to go there, because I personal believe that she 2:21:18.959 --> 2:21:21.080 will eventually go there. Right now, she's bigger than life. 2:21:21.080 --> 2:21:23.120 She can't get no bigger. But there's nowhere else left to. 2:21:23.120 --> 2:21:23.720 Go with her. 2:21:23.760 --> 2:21:24.840 She's the top of the top. 2:21:25.240 --> 2:21:27.040 Yeah, I believe so, you know what I'm saying, and 2:21:27.160 --> 2:21:29.560 rightly so, because she's a hard fucking worker. From what 2:21:29.680 --> 2:21:32.440 I know and what I've seen from the district, you 2:21:32.520 --> 2:21:34.600 understand what I'm saying. Like nobody, she's the best that 2:21:34.640 --> 2:21:36.960 ever did it. But me personally as a fan, I 2:21:36.959 --> 2:21:40.199 would want to see her get deeper, like challenge herself 2:21:41.400 --> 2:21:44.840 more from a musical standpoint, like go in places where 2:21:45.600 --> 2:21:47.440 even she ain't there to go, just do it because 2:21:47.440 --> 2:21:48.920 I believe she has the capability to do that. 2:21:49.840 --> 2:21:52.280 Who else somebody do you think there has capabilities to 2:21:52.360 --> 2:21:54.800 do that and hasn't reached it, that hasn't reached it. 2:21:56.080 --> 2:21:58.760 I think Chris Brown has that. Oh wow, I think 2:21:58.800 --> 2:21:59.840 Chris Brown has it all day. 2:22:00.360 --> 2:22:02.240 But you think that he does not getting He's not 2:22:02.320 --> 2:22:04.640 tapping into hiss. 2:22:04.280 --> 2:22:06.480 No, he's tapping into his emotions. I just think he's 2:22:06.520 --> 2:22:07.800 tapped into the wrong frequency. 2:22:09.480 --> 2:22:09.640 You know. 2:22:10.040 --> 2:22:12.400 I think the frequency that he's tapped into won't allow 2:22:12.520 --> 2:22:15.680 him to grow beyond who he is because he's surrounded 2:22:15.680 --> 2:22:18.880 by so many distractions, you know what I mean. But 2:22:19.000 --> 2:22:21.400 I think for what he does and what he represents 2:22:21.480 --> 2:22:25.000 to the this culture. From a performer from an artist 2:22:25.320 --> 2:22:26.080 from a vocalist. 2:22:26.640 --> 2:22:29.040 He got what it takes. He just got to be 2:22:29.600 --> 2:22:30.640 He's fearless already. 2:22:30.959 --> 2:22:35.560 We've seen him on Lovers and Friends. This month, I 2:22:35.600 --> 2:22:37.200 had to show and he had to show. I saw. 2:22:37.520 --> 2:22:39.400 I got to see him on the stage. Boy, he 2:22:39.640 --> 2:22:46.520 told because the problem, Yeah he goes and like I 2:22:46.600 --> 2:22:49.800 knew he went in, but actually that's my first time 2:22:49.920 --> 2:22:51.279 kind of like got to see. 2:22:51.120 --> 2:22:53.400 It, right, Like he's a problem. But the good thing 2:22:53.440 --> 2:22:55.400 about Chris that he got plenty of time because he's young. 2:22:56.240 --> 2:22:59.880 So this is also gathering all those voices, all the 2:23:00.360 --> 2:23:02.840 you know, souls that he needs to be able, you know, 2:23:03.080 --> 2:23:04.280 influence in a certain kind of way. 2:23:04.280 --> 2:23:06.000 I just feel like when God gives you that much 2:23:06.040 --> 2:23:06.800 power to. 2:23:06.879 --> 2:23:10.160 Influence or be influenced by so many different people, that 2:23:10.720 --> 2:23:15.120 that that that is always like a responsibility to find 2:23:15.240 --> 2:23:19.039 somewhere to to define all the challenges that's in society. 2:23:19.160 --> 2:23:20.800 You understand what I'm saying, Like, I just don't believe 2:23:20.840 --> 2:23:22.640 that we who we are. 2:23:22.720 --> 2:23:24.280 For just the sake of just being who we are. 2:23:24.320 --> 2:23:25.800 I believe that we're chosen to be who we are 2:23:26.240 --> 2:23:28.920 right until we understand what our purpose is. That's when 2:23:28.959 --> 2:23:31.280 we that's when we become impactful. 2:23:30.720 --> 2:23:31.800 You know what I mean? Right? 2:23:32.600 --> 2:23:35.200 So that's talking about I still kill with fifty real quick? Right, 2:23:35.320 --> 2:23:36.600 how did that come about? Oh? 2:23:36.720 --> 2:23:39.240 Man, fifty that called me with that one? Fifty called 2:23:39.240 --> 2:23:40.480 me with that and say, yokn. 2:23:40.360 --> 2:23:41.520 So he produced that one. 2:23:41.720 --> 2:23:43.640 No, no, he got it was another producer on it 2:23:43.760 --> 2:23:46.760 under his camp that actually did that one, ok, And 2:23:46.879 --> 2:23:49.400 he was like, Yo, kN listen, I got this record, bro, 2:23:51.800 --> 2:23:53.560 you know what, just call me back after you hear it. 2:23:54.840 --> 2:23:57.160 He sent me. I heard the verses her to beat. 2:23:57.720 --> 2:24:00.640 I was like, oh, this is crazy, and I'm listening 2:24:00.720 --> 2:24:01.160 to the lyrics. 2:24:01.200 --> 2:24:04.680 I'm already knowing what he's saying without saying it because 2:24:04.840 --> 2:24:08.160 at this point the niggas he just sold vitamin water. 2:24:09.000 --> 2:24:12.240 This nigga two hundred and fifty million dollar niggas like, Nigga, 2:24:12.240 --> 2:24:16.600 don't get it fucked, you know what It's like that, 2:24:16.959 --> 2:24:18.920 It's like, how do we say that when niggas know 2:24:18.959 --> 2:24:21.480 I'm not playing with him perform too? Right? 2:24:21.520 --> 2:24:22.080 You know what I'm saying. 2:24:22.560 --> 2:24:24.120 So I sent it back with the chorus on it, 2:24:24.800 --> 2:24:26.520 and he was like, Nigga, this is it, Oh, this 2:24:26.640 --> 2:24:29.640 is it. But at the time I was kind of 2:24:29.720 --> 2:24:32.360 worried about where we would go because even me, my, my, 2:24:32.959 --> 2:24:36.640 I was so pop at that time. The question was like, Okay, 2:24:36.640 --> 2:24:37.760 we'll still be believable. 2:24:37.800 --> 2:24:37.959 Though. 2:24:38.879 --> 2:24:40.560 No, that's one thing I do question myself a lot, 2:24:40.840 --> 2:24:43.680 what like when to go back to the street or 2:24:43.840 --> 2:24:45.600 if ever do I even need to go back to 2:24:45.680 --> 2:24:46.040 the street? 2:24:46.840 --> 2:24:52.240 Right, that's ever? No, no, no hold on, listen, no, no, listen. 2:24:52.480 --> 2:24:55.160 I'm not talking about physically, no reason for me being 2:24:55.160 --> 2:24:57.600 the hood. All my hood niggas know they got to 2:24:57.600 --> 2:24:59.080 come see me. I'm not going there, bro, I'm not 2:24:59.240 --> 2:25:00.480 doing that this already. 2:25:00.840 --> 2:25:04.600 But from a musical standpoint, the question is because I 2:25:04.640 --> 2:25:07.800 always believe that my role plays a responsibility to them. 2:25:07.840 --> 2:25:10.080 That was why I was raising that environment to make 2:25:10.120 --> 2:25:12.680 a difference. Right, So the only way to actually make 2:25:12.720 --> 2:25:15.320 an impact is to find a way to still tap in. 2:25:15.760 --> 2:25:18.080 But you can't just go and forget about it, Like 2:25:18.200 --> 2:25:20.480 is if you don't give a fuck, you understand I'm saying, 2:25:20.560 --> 2:25:23.039 like there has to be a sense of knowing, Okay, 2:25:23.720 --> 2:25:25.320 there's a role that they're still there for me to 2:25:25.400 --> 2:25:27.520 play that they won't take for granted. 2:25:28.720 --> 2:25:30.680 Now they take it for granted, then you can't really 2:25:30.720 --> 2:25:33.080 control what other people's decisions decided to make. But for 2:25:33.160 --> 2:25:35.400 the most part, you know you did your part right. 2:25:35.560 --> 2:25:37.520 So when I say go back to the streets, I'm 2:25:37.520 --> 2:25:43.400 always talking music. You know what I'm saying. Musically, you can, 2:25:43.520 --> 2:25:45.240 but I think my topic matter ain't gonna be what 2:25:45.320 --> 2:25:47.280 they want to hear, So you gotta wait for the 2:25:47.360 --> 2:25:49.400 right time to give it to them. Because I feel 2:25:49.440 --> 2:25:52.959 like the music an urban rap is lacking the message 2:25:53.959 --> 2:25:56.240 everybody scared. Like to me, when I listen to music, 2:25:56.280 --> 2:25:58.880 it sound like everybody scared to death because it's like 2:25:58.959 --> 2:26:04.120 this conc cansel culture comes from just being indecisive and 2:26:04.240 --> 2:26:06.080 not making up your own mind. You're letting somebody else 2:26:06.120 --> 2:26:07.920 tell you what you think should be relevant and what's not. 2:26:08.760 --> 2:26:11.840 That just tells me that the world at this specific thing, 2:26:12.440 --> 2:26:13.080 this specific thing. 2:26:13.120 --> 2:26:16.520 When the music, it sounds like everybody's scared to death, 2:26:16.800 --> 2:26:19.320 because what I know from the street is that when 2:26:19.440 --> 2:26:22.920 somebody's afraid, they're gonna do something to distract you from 2:26:22.959 --> 2:26:26.320 you thinking that they're afraid. Right, And when somebody feel 2:26:26.400 --> 2:26:30.600 like that you may be a threat, it's like it's 2:26:30.680 --> 2:26:33.320 like a possum when you pull up on it, a 2:26:33.440 --> 2:26:35.280 porcupine when you pull up on it and all this 2:26:35.560 --> 2:26:39.400 what's the name is pop? You don't want to tap 2:26:39.440 --> 2:26:41.280 into it because you might get stung. So gets over 2:26:41.480 --> 2:26:43.120 when the niggas the first thing they do when they 2:26:43.200 --> 2:26:47.680 get scared. Oh, nigga, you'a got that for real, But 2:26:47.760 --> 2:26:50.119 you're not realizing that his chest is being way harder 2:26:50.200 --> 2:26:50.640 than yours. 2:26:51.920 --> 2:26:53.320 You understand what I'm saying. So when I listen to 2:26:53.400 --> 2:26:55.200 the music, that's what it's getting from me. 2:26:55.640 --> 2:26:59.560 You got a whole bunch of young guys, super well 2:26:59.640 --> 2:27:02.560 POTENTI like the future in front of them, all of them, 2:27:02.959 --> 2:27:05.640 but they all scared to death because of Unfortunately, it's 2:27:05.640 --> 2:27:08.440 it's our fault because we introduced that kind of music 2:27:08.560 --> 2:27:11.119 that made it cool, right, So now when they see 2:27:11.160 --> 2:27:13.360 themselves in real life, they have to live up to 2:27:13.440 --> 2:27:18.600 that because if they don't and social media, so what 2:27:18.720 --> 2:27:20.640 happens is now they're active in the life that they 2:27:20.640 --> 2:27:23.520 don't really understand outside of the music side of that world. 2:27:23.840 --> 2:27:25.880 And this is why you got so many young rappers 2:27:26.040 --> 2:27:28.560 dying because they're making so many mistakes out. 2:27:28.400 --> 2:27:28.920 Of fear. 2:27:30.600 --> 2:27:34.120 To what you said you was on when and they 2:27:34.160 --> 2:27:34.560 said that the. 2:27:34.600 --> 2:27:35.920 Sweet escape, Sweet escape to us. 2:27:36.480 --> 2:27:40.360 Gwen Stefani. Yeah, and you said, who try to horizon? 2:27:41.400 --> 2:27:42.880 Do you feel like that was the first kind of 2:27:42.920 --> 2:27:46.440 step of people get into this castle coach of things? 2:27:46.480 --> 2:27:50.080 Do you think not really, because there's been many companies 2:27:50.120 --> 2:27:53.960 I've always done. Companies always pull out their sponsorship. 2:27:55.000 --> 2:27:55.600 Controversy. 2:27:55.720 --> 2:27:57.920 You know, you make an action, but they don't realize 2:27:58.080 --> 2:28:00.560 if it doesn't have anything to do with what they're 2:28:00.560 --> 2:28:03.880 sponsoring you for, they should just leave it alone. What 2:28:04.080 --> 2:28:06.960 human do you know ain't gonna make a mistake, especially 2:28:07.280 --> 2:28:11.040 that has nothing to do with their occupation, Like, this 2:28:11.200 --> 2:28:13.360 is their job, this is what they do. Great, they 2:28:13.560 --> 2:28:15.800 did some of the personal life that has nothing to 2:28:15.879 --> 2:28:17.560 do with this, But yeah, you want to cancel them 2:28:17.600 --> 2:28:19.320 because you were afraid of what other people are saying 2:28:19.560 --> 2:28:21.920 of his personal action, and I think that's unfair. 2:28:22.560 --> 2:28:25.520 Or even Adidas taking Kanye back they have no choice. 2:28:27.959 --> 2:28:32.560 Do he make no noise for that? You spoke about 2:28:32.560 --> 2:28:34.480 Beautiful earlier in the HAGH cut you off right, So 2:28:35.800 --> 2:28:37.400 where was you at?

Yeah, Beautiful was a process, honestly, that was 2:28:39.760 --> 2:28:40.360 that was what my. 2:28:42.480 --> 2:28:45.920 With my wife, you know, she she always you know, 2:28:45.959 --> 2:28:47.879 that's that was around the time when I was peaking, 2:28:48.040 --> 2:28:48.240 you know. 2:28:48.840 --> 2:28:50.920 And everywhere I go, you know, this is your career.

So at that time, French was just making 2:42:13.320 --> 2:42:16.120 afro beats back then, not afrobeats. 2:42:15.600 --> 2:42:19.120 But just more commercial acrossover and eventually take him to 2:42:19.160 --> 2:42:20.360 Africa because my whole thing. 2:42:20.400 --> 2:42:23.400 The French was like, bro, you African, nigga, you're from Morocco, 2:42:24.360 --> 2:42:26.480 Like do you know?

So 2:42:48.280 --> 2:42:49.840 I think we should find a party that could work 2:42:49.879 --> 2:42:52.240 with us for New York. I said it was ship, 2:42:53.040 --> 2:42:55.600 think about somebody, let me know. And he's like, when 2:42:55.640 --> 2:42:56.360 you think about Diddy? 2:42:57.000 --> 2:42:59.039 I said, ship is that's the king of New York? 2:42:59.080 --> 2:43:02.040 Of course, why not? You know what I'm saying. 2:43:02.320 --> 2:43:03.680 So he was flying to. 2:43:03.720 --> 2:43:06.040 Vegas to go meet with Diddy and then when he 2:43:06.080 --> 2:43:07.240 got there, he put Diddy on the phone. 2:43:07.240 --> 2:43:08.640 Did He was like, Nigga, brown sugar. Will we be 2:43:08.680 --> 2:43:09.280 doing brown sugar? 2:43:09.360 --> 2:43:11.560 And he be calling me brown sugar, Niggo we doing, Nigga, 2:43:11.560 --> 2:43:13.520 we be doing.

And I can't take him where he's trying 2:43:17.440 --> 2:43:18.840 to go in New York. The only thing I could 2:43:18.840 --> 2:43:20.400 see is a partnership with you to put it off 2:43:20.879 --> 2:43:23.000 and pull that off. And he was like, man, listen, 2:43:23.280 --> 2:43:24.800 with your blessing, if you let me take this on, 2:43:24.879 --> 2:43:26.119 I got it.

So how you 2:43:29.200 --> 2:43:31.120 started doing stuff with Diddy? Wow? 2:43:31.120 --> 2:43:33.200 Because I was always the kind of artist like, even 2:43:33.240 --> 2:43:35.880 though when I sign acts, I'm not the kind of 2:43:36.080 --> 2:43:37.640 artist that I want to find. 2:43:37.480 --> 2:43:41.160 The best way for you to go. Cause me, my 2:43:41.280 --> 2:43:42.800 goal is to make you bigger than me if I 2:43:42.840 --> 2:43:43.240 can do that. 2:43:43.720 --> 2:43:45.440 Was that something you learned off of Jimmy and Ivan 2:43:45.760 --> 2:43:48.160 saying this was before Jimmy, Oh, this before this was 2:43:48.240 --> 2:43:52.480 just me seeing how like executives look. 2:43:52.840 --> 2:43:56.240 When one of theirs is huge, it makes you look 2:43:56.320 --> 2:43:56.880 like a genius. 2:43:57.200 --> 2:44:00.160 Sometimes the artist could be humongous but I even all 2:44:00.200 --> 2:44:02.240 your involvement, but you're still going to get the credit 2:44:02.760 --> 2:44:04.640 because of the fact that you put the person out 2:44:04.680 --> 2:44:05.480 into the marketplace. 2:44:05.760 --> 2:44:06.320 You know what I'm saying. 2:44:06.760 --> 2:44:08.800 So I always looked at as I always looked at 2:44:08.840 --> 2:44:11.120 it from a leveraging standpoint, because I always saw music 2:44:11.160 --> 2:44:13.320 as a stepping stone or a bridge to get to 2:44:13.400 --> 2:44:14.160 the real business. 2:44:14.720 --> 2:44:17.480 So people that's around me have to be attached. 2:44:17.280 --> 2:44:19.480 That they have to be successful for me to have 2:44:19.840 --> 2:44:22.920 these pitches taken seriously, you know, because now they're looking 2:44:22.920 --> 2:44:24.720 at my track record in the in the in the 2:44:24.760 --> 2:44:26.360 sector at which I'm actually active in. 2:44:26.680 --> 2:44:29.760 Ok Is he successful there? Okay? Cool? So clearly he 2:44:29.879 --> 2:44:30.560 knows what he's doing. 2:44:30.800 --> 2:44:32.920 Okay, Now, how can we use that to break this 2:44:33.080 --> 2:44:35.280 brand or partner with this brand, or take this piece 2:44:35.320 --> 2:44:36.320 of label to the next level? 2:44:36.360 --> 2:44:38.080 You know what I'm saying? Right right? 2:44:38.400 --> 2:44:41.120 If right now, right? I know you told me the 2:44:41.160 --> 2:44:43.000 places to go on Africa, But if I wanted to 2:44:43.120 --> 2:44:45.960 invest in the Africa, right, what's what are some of 2:44:46.040 --> 2:44:47.360 the things that I should look to. 2:44:48.200 --> 2:44:49.879 The first thing you should invest in, and I think 2:44:49.920 --> 2:44:53.560 that should be everybody's focus is real estate. Real estate, 2:44:53.640 --> 2:44:57.879 How super easy, super super easy but you don't want 2:44:57.879 --> 2:45:00.120 to invest from here. You want to go there, so 2:45:00.240 --> 2:45:03.120 you physically go there, physically go there like that's like 2:45:03.840 --> 2:45:05.640 if you're gonna just do it by sitting here, you 2:45:05.760 --> 2:45:08.200 might just go to Vegas and just toss your money 2:45:08.240 --> 2:45:08.680 in the casino. 2:45:08.840 --> 2:45:11.440 Got Because the thing is with investment, you got to 2:45:11.480 --> 2:45:12.200 know what you're investing in. 2:45:12.280 --> 2:45:13.920 You gotta be able to see the land, see the potential, 2:45:13.959 --> 2:45:16.280 see the areas that's growing, that's moving in that direction. 2:45:16.360 --> 2:45:19.360 Real estate is very it's mathematical, but you also have 2:45:19.480 --> 2:45:22.080 to have information through certain people to know which direction 2:45:22.160 --> 2:45:23.720 the development is headed, and that's the. 2:45:23.760 --> 2:45:25.560 Area where you want to be. You know, you don't 2:45:25.600 --> 2:45:26.840 want to go right where the. 2:45:27.440 --> 2:45:30.680 Investment is actually building now, but the development is going 2:45:30.720 --> 2:45:32.760 in that direction in the next two three years you 2:45:32.800 --> 2:45:35.039 can get that's what you get it at that level. 2:45:35.280 --> 2:45:36.680 So by the time it get there, they have to 2:45:36.760 --> 2:45:38.320 come see you. You know what I'm saying. 2:45:38.320 --> 2:45:39.840 You can either be a part of in the development 2:45:40.160 --> 2:45:41.760 or you can sell it out for five six times 2:45:41.879 --> 2:45:44.280 multiple on what you purchase it for, you know what 2:45:44.320 --> 2:45:46.880 I mean. But land right now is the best place 2:45:46.959 --> 2:45:49.920 to start in Africa because everybody in the globe is 2:45:50.040 --> 2:45:52.800 investing in Africa and it's all coming into development. So 2:45:53.040 --> 2:45:55.800 if you can acquire the land before they get to it, man, 2:45:55.840 --> 2:45:57.120 you're golden for the rest of your life. 2:45:57.280 --> 2:45:59.520 Does that help Africans for people from outside to. 2:45:59.560 --> 2:46:00.879 Invest it and buying land. 2:46:01.040 --> 2:46:03.480 Absolutely, because it creates an economy, It creates jobs, It 2:46:03.560 --> 2:46:05.760 creates more opportunities for even them to be able to 2:46:05.760 --> 2:46:08.240 do things. Because we gotta think Africa in a big 2:46:08.320 --> 2:46:12.199 way is lacking resources. So if people don't come creating 2:46:12.360 --> 2:46:15.240 or bringing resources there, it's gonna be on standstill. Right, 2:46:15.440 --> 2:46:18.600 So it benefits, it's Africa's Yes, it benefits. Then when 2:46:18.640 --> 2:46:20.920 people come and invest and create opportunity. 2:46:21.480 --> 2:46:23.480 How about it be like I'm a condo guy, I 2:46:23.480 --> 2:46:24.039 don't really. 2:46:23.879 --> 2:46:26.760 Like how right? Which is even better? Actually condos go 2:46:26.879 --> 2:46:27.440 even quicker. 2:46:27.680 --> 2:46:31.200 Oh wow, man, listen in Senegal right now, you can't 2:46:31.280 --> 2:46:35.200 find just the land to build a condo in the 2:46:35.240 --> 2:46:36.000 city for seven. 2:46:35.920 --> 2:46:37.920 Hundred and fifty thousand acre. Wow. 2:46:38.120 --> 2:46:38.720 That's an acre. 2:46:39.520 --> 2:46:42.720 Wow, seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars per acre. And 2:46:42.840 --> 2:46:44.879 that's just the land by self before the condo's up. 2:46:45.200 --> 2:46:47.600 Once the condo's up, they starting at a million dollars 2:46:47.640 --> 2:46:52.000 each wow. And that's the person that was buying land 2:46:52.840 --> 2:46:54.280 at the time when we was buying land. Now look 2:46:54.280 --> 2:46:54.920 where they're at with it. 2:46:55.640 --> 2:46:59.280 Like everyone is moving to Puerto Rico right now because 2:46:59.600 --> 2:47:02.600 the tax break.

They got to deal 2:49:17.560 --> 2:49:17.680 with that. 2:49:18.120 --> 2:49:20.800 And I think that's everywhere. But I think as once 2:49:20.800 --> 2:49:25.160 should become a notable you know, like entrepreneur. Over those 2:49:25.200 --> 2:49:28.640 areas you get influenced, so politics don't really affect you, 2:49:29.160 --> 2:49:30.880 right because you get in bed with those guys to 2:49:30.920 --> 2:49:33.879 get to do business, you know, to help move policy 2:49:33.920 --> 2:49:36.600 forward for your agenda, their agendas, like it's all about 2:49:36.680 --> 2:49:37.959 you know, it's just business. 2:49:37.800 --> 2:49:40.200 Politicals And the people are amazing out there. Yeah, I 2:49:40.240 --> 2:49:41.680 mean I only been to South Africa, but the people 2:49:41.720 --> 2:49:42.119 were amazing. 2:49:42.160 --> 2:49:44.680 Yeah, as you opened a Drake Champs bar after that 2:49:44.680 --> 2:49:45.600 would be easy. 2:49:45.959 --> 2:49:48.160 That would be crazy only in South Africa though, because 2:49:48.160 --> 2:49:51.280 a lot of countries in Africa are Muslim, so those 2:49:51.280 --> 2:49:53.959 populations don't drink or smoke, right, they're doing in quiet 2:49:54.160 --> 2:49:57.680 or after our spots like that. But like any any 2:49:57.760 --> 2:50:00.800 areas like Uganda would be good for that, anywhere in 2:50:00.879 --> 2:50:03.640 South as Nigeria they drink out there, right, Nigeria would 2:50:03.640 --> 2:50:05.800 be good for that because Nigeria's split half. 2:50:06.280 --> 2:50:08.080 What's the place that they say, like they stay open 2:50:08.240 --> 2:50:10.720 almost twenty four hours and just keep partying, keeping Nigeria. 2:50:11.480 --> 2:50:12.240 Nigerian parties. 2:50:12.360 --> 2:50:12.920 That's Nigeria. 2:50:13.480 --> 2:50:16.720 Does it when it's time, like during festive festive. 2:50:16.440 --> 2:50:18.560 Moments and months. Okay, you know when people come from 2:50:18.560 --> 2:50:20.360 all over the world, they just be partying all night. 2:50:20.720 --> 2:50:24.199 Right yeah, oh man, I'm convinced. 2:50:24.240 --> 2:50:25.960 Hey man, you can watch my documentary Coming Home, so 2:50:26.080 --> 2:50:28.760 that I'm just saying, shame.

White people is a little bit 2:50:53.800 --> 2:50:57.400 different because they more the temperature and the kind of 2:50:57.480 --> 2:51:00.520 things that their their skin and body can withstand. A 2:51:00.600 --> 2:51:02.240 lot of it won't survive in Africa, so they need 2:51:02.280 --> 2:51:04.279 shots to, you know, to kind of boost their immunes 2:51:04.280 --> 2:51:04.600 and stuff. 2:51:04.640 --> 2:51:06.720 But y'all straight, I mean, I definitely didn't take a 2:51:06.720 --> 2:51:07.760 shot when I went to South Africa. 2:51:07.840 --> 2:51:08.720 Yeah, you won't need it. 2:51:09.240 --> 2:51:12.280 It was good, we ate good, we drank good.

At least, 2:59:41.560 --> 2:59:43.360 which one you think is more powerful, the sage or 2:59:43.400 --> 2:59:43.720 the prayer? 2:59:45.840 --> 2:59:47.440 Prayer?

But I 3:08:50.360 --> 3:08:51.600 think when I get back in, I think there's some 3:08:51.640 --> 3:08:53.720 great opportunities for me and Drake to do something crazy together. 3:08:55.480 --> 3:08:57.960 Drake, who else before we get up out of here 3:09:00.160 --> 3:09:01.280 and you work with everybody? 3:09:01.360 --> 3:09:03.680 Bro I have It's only one rapper that I haven't 3:09:03.720 --> 3:09:05.400 worked with yet, and I still to this day can't 3:09:05.440 --> 3:09:06.000 figure out why. 3:09:06.280 --> 3:09:06.800 It's jay Z. 3:09:08.360 --> 3:09:10.680 He's the only one I haven't worked with at and 3:09:10.920 --> 3:09:12.560 I always thought that maybe it's because. 3:09:12.280 --> 3:09:15.080 Of the timing of our career is going. There probably 3:09:15.280 --> 3:09:16.440 was the time all I. 3:09:16.440 --> 3:09:18.520 Mean, because Bro, I'm I'm I'm a huge fan. I 3:09:18.560 --> 3:09:20.040 don't know how you feel about me, but I always 3:09:20.040 --> 3:09:22.320 felt like that could be something that would be crazy. 3:09:22.440 --> 3:09:24.600 I think that would complete complete me from an urban 3:09:24.680 --> 3:09:26.879 music standpoint, making that making. 3:09:26.720 --> 3:09:27.680 That happen, Yeah, I think that. 3:09:27.920 --> 3:09:30.400 I think that would just be sound. I think that 3:09:31.600 --> 3:09:32.360 that would be crazy. 3:09:32.520 --> 3:09:36.080 Well, who would you prefer you on his album or 3:09:36.200 --> 3:09:36.840 him on yours? 3:09:37.280 --> 3:09:38.040 I think it wouldn't make it. 3:09:38.720 --> 3:09:39.080 I don't think. 3:09:39.480 --> 3:09:40.520 I don't think it'll make a difference. 3:09:41.160 --> 3:09:43.800 Yeah, honestly, I prefer it on his album because I 3:09:43.879 --> 3:09:45.640 know it guaranteed to be pushed. 3:09:48.040 --> 3:09:50.640 You know what I'm saying. How about it's guaranteed to. 3:09:50.640 --> 3:09:51.200 Go number one? 3:09:52.080 --> 3:09:53.320 How about nas. 3:09:55.440 --> 3:09:55.560 Yo? 3:09:55.720 --> 3:09:59.279 You know how long me and Na's been trying to connect. Jesus, 3:09:59.400 --> 3:10:02.560 It's it's just been fake. I promise you believe me. 3:10:02.640 --> 3:10:05.040 That was supposed to have been happen. Me and I 3:10:05.280 --> 3:10:07.800 is always trying to get together, but it's just he's 3:10:07.840 --> 3:10:09.440 so international, I'm so international. 3:10:09.520 --> 3:10:11.240 It's just like it's just being in the. 3:10:11.240 --> 3:10:13.600 Same place at the same time, and artists like me 3:10:13.600 --> 3:10:16.879 and him, we just don't see us working over the internet. 3:10:17.040 --> 3:10:18.400 We just got to be in a room together. 3:10:18.800 --> 3:10:21.760 And I think that's why that's the only reason why 3:10:22.000 --> 3:10:24.640 it didn't happen earlier, because I think it'd just be 3:10:24.720 --> 3:10:26.160 bigger if me and him was in the same room. 3:10:26.760 --> 3:10:28.680 That's what me and Fenn say all the time. Like 3:10:29.200 --> 3:10:32.400 sometimes we do the say say analog are digital, right, 3:10:32.520 --> 3:10:34.880 and we always kind of like pick analogue. And the 3:10:35.000 --> 3:10:37.320 reason why is because I feel like the music that 3:10:37.440 --> 3:10:39.360 was made in the nineties early two thousands, you can 3:10:39.800 --> 3:10:42.280 it's better because we can't real you had to actually 3:10:42.320 --> 3:10:42.760 come to my. 3:10:42.800 --> 3:10:46.320 Studio culture record for the energy you can't even came 3:10:46.360 --> 3:10:46.800 at to. 3:10:46.840 --> 3:10:48.920 Get on had to be in the same room, right, 3:10:49.000 --> 3:10:51.000 So you do you think that's that's true? 3:10:51.080 --> 3:10:54.560 Like, I think it depends on the artists, right. I 3:10:54.640 --> 3:10:57.800 think some chemistries are better when they separated. Yes, some 3:10:57.840 --> 3:11:00.680 people that just make great music, but then when they 3:11:00.720 --> 3:11:02.640 get in the same room, the energy may. 3:11:02.560 --> 3:11:05.640 Be different because one may be shy, you just never 3:11:05.720 --> 3:11:06.000 really know. 3:11:06.360 --> 3:11:09.640 So in this generation that works out better because a 3:11:09.720 --> 3:11:13.080 lot of these artists are very like anti social. 3:11:13.560 --> 3:11:14.760 They low key super weird. 3:11:14.920 --> 3:11:17.120 Like you get close to them, they just start you 3:11:17.360 --> 3:11:19.200 know what I'm talking about, Like, don't they quiet? 3:11:19.240 --> 3:11:21.640 They just mute, they don't say nothing. Damn, I've been 3:11:21.680 --> 3:11:25.200 here thirty minutes. You want to ask me nothing? You know, 3:11:25.680 --> 3:11:29.760 but come on, this was weird back then too, but 3:11:29.879 --> 3:11:32.320 not like this though. Yeah, damn, you're kind of right down. Yeah, 3:11:32.360 --> 3:11:34.600 but back then they were forced to be together. So yeah, 3:11:34.680 --> 3:11:36.720 but you can only be here so long. Yeah, for 3:11:36.840 --> 3:11:39.000 you're like damn. But the crazy part about it is 3:11:39.280 --> 3:11:42.840 when you DM them, they can't shut up. They hit 3:11:42.879 --> 3:11:46.199 you with eighteen paragraphs like, bro, I just answered simple 3:11:46.280 --> 3:11:47.000 yes and no question. 3:11:47.080 --> 3:11:47.600 You know what I'm saying. 3:11:49.000 --> 3:11:51.240 But that's that's all in you know, that's a generational 3:11:51.320 --> 3:11:52.560 for sure. Generational for sure. 3:11:54.640 --> 3:12:00.160 The other day, right, I see, I seen the a 3:12:00.280 --> 3:12:02.600 kid I don't want to say his name, but we 3:12:02.720 --> 3:12:06.920 were sitting there and he knew Dominique Wilkins was, he 3:12:06.959 --> 3:12:09.560 knew Chris Webber was. He knew all these people who 3:12:09.640 --> 3:12:12.800 don't play for him, as a as a kid. But 3:12:12.920 --> 3:12:16.480 then someone asked him and he's he's a rapper. Someone 3:12:16.560 --> 3:12:20.080 asked him who cares one was? He had no clue? 3:12:20.520 --> 3:12:23.360 Someone asked him who rock him was? He had no clue. 3:12:23.680 --> 3:12:26.840 Someone asked him who Biggie Smalls was. He had a clue, 3:12:26.879 --> 3:12:30.120 but he wasn't. Do you think that's something that in 3:12:30.160 --> 3:12:34.760 the hip hop and our genre that we it's something 3:12:34.800 --> 3:12:37.720 that we should actually learn, like learn about our culture 3:12:37.760 --> 3:12:40.200 like he was learned about the same way you learn 3:12:40.240 --> 3:12:42.560 about basketball and you learn about He's a pattrick of 3:12:42.600 --> 3:12:45.640 you and sneakers. Shouldn't you learn about Big Pun and 3:12:45.640 --> 3:12:47.680 shouldn't you learn about Belly mal. 3:12:47.840 --> 3:12:50.440 I agree we should learn, but we just we don't 3:12:50.520 --> 3:12:55.240 learn because like learning has to be motivated. The reason 3:12:55.280 --> 3:12:57.480 why you know about a lot of these you know, 3:12:58.040 --> 3:13:03.160 basketball players and football players for that matter, they have 3:13:03.320 --> 3:13:06.199 these hall of fames that recognize them and their abilities 3:13:06.640 --> 3:13:10.600 and also you know, give them the just of their 3:13:10.680 --> 3:13:13.160 creation and present it to the people that might have 3:13:13.240 --> 3:13:16.640 not known what they're responsible for. Hip Hop is the 3:13:16.720 --> 3:13:22.040 only music that we don't celebrate the founding fathers. We 3:13:22.120 --> 3:13:25.720 don't have a foundation to help them because most of 3:13:25.760 --> 3:13:26.760 them in bad situations. 3:13:26.800 --> 3:13:28.920 They paved the way for us. Like this is stuff 3:13:28.920 --> 3:13:31.800 that we as a culture just naturally, just do they 3:13:31.879 --> 3:13:34.080 do it as a natural culture. They hold museums, teach 3:13:34.080 --> 3:13:36.680 each other's history to the point where their history is 3:13:36.720 --> 3:13:38.920 being taught to us because we don't even have or 3:13:39.280 --> 3:13:40.320 preserve our own history. 3:13:40.640 --> 3:13:43.440 You can't blame them. That's the only history that exists 3:13:43.440 --> 3:13:44.320 because they preserved it. 3:13:44.959 --> 3:13:48.119 When did we have a preserve African history or Black 3:13:48.240 --> 3:13:51.120 history outside of the parts that just hurt us so 3:13:51.240 --> 3:13:53.480 bad that every time we do something and we fail, 3:13:53.520 --> 3:13:54.480 we use it as an excuse. 3:13:55.240 --> 3:13:57.120 You feel what I'm saying. So as a culture, we 3:13:57.200 --> 3:13:57.800 got to be better. 3:13:58.480 --> 3:14:01.400 We have to and to be with people that understand 3:14:01.560 --> 3:14:04.040 that that you know, actually exists and the people that 3:14:04.120 --> 3:14:06.720 actually has the power and the resources to actually make 3:14:06.760 --> 3:14:09.320 it happen. Like that's something that would help us, believe 3:14:09.320 --> 3:14:12.120 it or not, because it keeps us in powered longer. 3:14:12.600 --> 3:14:15.080 Because this culture is not something it's really up for grabs. 3:14:15.720 --> 3:14:17.320 I don't care where you go in the world, Like 3:14:18.600 --> 3:14:21.000 everywhere you go in the world, hip hop exists, but 3:14:21.080 --> 3:14:23.800 it exists in their language and they're talking about their 3:14:23.879 --> 3:14:26.280 culture to the point where new York can't even claim 3:14:26.320 --> 3:14:28.000 it no more. That's right. I've been saying that. 3:14:28.600 --> 3:14:29.360 You feel what I'm saying. 3:14:29.840 --> 3:14:33.280 But had New York created the museum which right now 3:14:33.360 --> 3:14:37.080 the Universal Hip Hop Museum, use all the. 3:14:37.120 --> 3:14:40.360 Hip hop artists as a way of pushing people to 3:14:40.520 --> 3:14:42.760 it though it's okay to have it, but who's there? 3:14:42.920 --> 3:14:45.480 No, they just they just they're creating it now. 3:14:46.879 --> 3:14:48.880 Like we need to support it though they got a 3:14:48.879 --> 3:14:52.760 lot of support, though they're not behind it, you know 3:14:52.840 --> 3:14:58.080 what I'm saying. And Curtis Blow and Carris One that history, man, 3:14:58.560 --> 3:14:59.920 we cannot all late. 3:15:00.120 --> 3:15:01.959 That's the thing. We're all laid to it. It's all late. 3:15:02.080 --> 3:15:03.920 Like it's even why we created the show. 3:15:04.360 --> 3:15:06.720 Because there wasn't there wasn't a platform that was given 3:15:07.120 --> 3:15:10.119 a voice to artists that necessarily weren't on a pressure 3:15:10.160 --> 3:15:12.480 run anymore, right, right, right, And that's why we did 3:15:12.560 --> 3:15:15.240 it because nobody was giving us a voice DJ and 3:15:15.440 --> 3:15:18.400 MC that they felt was washed up and old, like now, okay, 3:15:18.440 --> 3:15:19.600 we don't create our own platform. 3:15:19.680 --> 3:15:27.440 There you go, and we did, motherfucker.
