Speaker 2: that are at the top of the game. It's not

32
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: a mystery. We know who's in the fucks these peoples

33
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: are right, and you guys keep doing it? Man, what

34
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: what why are you doing this?

35
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 5: Why?

36
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: Why be so disrespectful that the was that the goal

37
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: to disrespect everybody?

38
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 7: Absolutely come through and shake this thing.

39
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, but now you know what it's really just about,

40
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 6: in its essence, is just the passion and love for

41
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 6: what we're doing, You know what I mean. I don't

42
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 6: sound like too much of a cliche answer, but it's real,

43
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 6: Like I think we'll be doing it, most of us

44
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 6: be doing it free if it wasn't even getting paid.

45
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 6: So it's that that same passion and love that we

46
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 6: started with, and people just happen to relate to it.

47
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: I don't think you can do it unless you have

48
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: that right because everything else is so fleeting, everything else

49
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: is up and down, and so is what is the nuance?

50
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: What is the deciding factor in you staying in when

51
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: when the desires and the dreams look cloudy and don't

52
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: look like they're adding up to the thing that you

53
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: believed it was going to.

54
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 6: Be, it's gotta be some love involved, No, absolutely, you

55
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 6: know what I mean. That's what it's all about to me,

56
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 6: is the It's that exchange of love back and forth,

57
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 6: like once I learned something, then I can pass it

58
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 6: to somebody else. And the joy they feel when they

59
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 6: learn something new, you see it in their face, Like

60
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 6: that's the the essence when you strip everything down to

61
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 6: its bare minimum for me, and that's whether it's learning

62
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 6: the new concept, learning how to write a certain way,

63
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 6: learning how to vocalize a certain way, like just the learning.

64
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 6: I mean, it's the love for learning that really keep

65
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 6: me going and motivated.

66
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 8: So to expound on something you said, just even you're

67
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 8: saying stripping things down right, right, let's let's let's let's

68
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 8: let's go back to the beginning and strip down this

69
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 8: whole inception and the mindset that you guys had with

70
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 8: starting to label like TD.

71
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 7: Right, So I start from the beginning. I was.

72
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 6: I was trying to start my own record company with

73
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 6: a couple of more partners that I went to school

74
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 6: with you know what I mean, I learned very quick

75
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 6: that you need a few dollars to to get that.

76
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.

77
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 6: So I was just always constantly studying music, the music industry,

78
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 6: anything I gotta do with it. The magazine pop up,

79
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 6: I'm reading the cover to cover, an interview on I'm

80
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 6: watching it behind the scenes. Come, I'm looking at that

81
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 6: and uh top, who's my blood relative?

82
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 5: Oh y'all family? Family?

83
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 7: Yeah? Okay, actually yeah, uh his mom and my grandmother sisters.

84
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 5: Wow, makes even more sense now, right.

85
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 6: So he was just getting started in the music business,

86
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 6: so he won foot in the street, one foot, you

87
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, trying to get things going. So

88
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 6: he built the studio at his house and Carson. So

89
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 6: I always pull up, like I have a little lunch

90
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 6: break or something that worked.

91
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 5: How far is is Watts to Carson?

92
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 6: It's, uh, well, Compton is right in between. So it's Watts,

93
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 6: Compton and Carson if you're traveling straight down Central, so

94
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 6: it's one city over. But so yeah, I pull up

95
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 6: on him, and you know, we'll just talk and talk

96
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 6: and talk and just had these conversations about music and

97
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 6: about business.

98
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 7: So at one point he was like, Yo, you just

99
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 7: come over here and do it with me.

100
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 6: So I'm like yeah, So that happened, and that's when

101
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 6: the early days of TD started the form. So we

102
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 6: have artists coming through and producers coming through making beats.

103
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 6: So eventually Jay Rock came through maybe a few months

104
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 6: after that. Kendrick came through a year later. So then

105
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 6: we got school Boy Q shortly after him.

106
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 5: So and what year is this?

107
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 6: This is uh, it's about four, roughly maybe three going

108
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 6: into four.

109
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 5: So what look, so.

110
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: What was your your setup in terms like in terms

111
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: of the structure, what was the invitation because you're saying

112
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: you guys were starting a record company, right, and what

113
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: did that necessarily entail to to get the word out,

114
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: to get people thinking that they needed to come through

115
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: and see what you guys were doing.

116
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 6: I mean, our whole thing was just trying to figure

117
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 6: out a way to get to these major labels. So

118
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 6: he was doing stuff like this, snak the top or

119
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 6: go to the industry book, that thick industry book they

120
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: and in the back it's a glossary like everybody names

121
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 6: and positions and they offer his phone numbers. So he

122
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 6: had called a label and fake like he had a

123
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 6: meeting with the CEO whatever and they end up calling

124
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 6: him back and build a relationship like that.

125
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 7: It was that or we go pack down record plants

126
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 7: you in there, we.

127
00:07:52,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: Go you've lived on.

128
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 7: Figures.

129
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you guys were really like, we're going to

130
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: start a record company, and it's going to just encompass

131
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: everything a record company does, and then we're gonna we're

132
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: gonna start looking for the pieces to put together to

133
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: make it what it is.

134
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 5: And then you start naming all the all the artists. Yeah,

135
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 5: and Jay Rock obviously from your neighborhood.

136
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 8: So that's that made the most sense in the beginning, right, Yeah,

137
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 8: it's talented young homie from your neighborhood.

138
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 5: It's the first thing we're gonna invest in.

139
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

140
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 6: But the thing is, like we was winging it, yeah,

141
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 6: I mean were trying to see what was going to stick. Yeah,

142
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 6: because again, we didn't have no prior experience in how

143
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 6: to build a record label. So we're just going off

144
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 6: of kind of you know, I mean, just pieces that

145
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 6: we seeing or stuff we're hearing about and just building

146
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 6: from there. Like even the way Jay Rock came about,

147
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 6: like it was another guy from our neighborhood that was

148
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 6: supposed to be coming to the studio that day. So

149
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 6: Top hit, He'm like, y'all, I'm gonna be over there.

150
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 6: You're gonna pick y'all up for the studio. So this

151
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 6: kid got impatient, like I guess he was waiting on

152
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 6: the ports too long, and Jay Rock was with him.

153
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 7: So this nigga ended up.

154
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 5: Leaving Jay Rock stay.

155
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 7: Jay Rock stayed.

156
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 6: As soon as he walked out, that's from Top pulled up.

157
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 6: I was like, where so and so at man, he

158
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 6: took off. I'm finna go to the studio rolling. Jay

159
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 6: Rock opped in the car. Another dude opp in the car.

160
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 6: Once he hear a Jay Rock voice, that.

161
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 8: Was it's how long did it take y'all to get

162
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 8: the Warner deal?

163
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 7: Uh? We got the Warner That was your first was the.

164
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 5: First one street into the major label system? Right, yep?

165
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 7: It was.

166
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 6: We got that deal off of tops relationships, you know

167
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 6: what I mean, Like, we didn't build the buzz in

168
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 6: the street first yet, and then because of the buzz.

169
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 7: Get the deal.

170
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 6: So it was all on relationships and they heard rock

171
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 6: and they like rock, and that was the deal.

172
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 7: From there, I think that was about oh six maybe so.

173
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 5: A few years then, yeah, for sure. So had you

174
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 5: guys had any music out?

175
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 6: Not really because this but again, this is a funny

176
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 6: time in the business to transition between all of the

177
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 6: digital stuff and then the blog era.

178
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 7: And all of this stuff. So it was like, where

179
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 7: do you actually put it out?

180
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 6: We press somem CDs up, you know what I mean,

181
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 6: and you know, we get out and go try to

182
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 6: sell them and hand them out.

183
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 7: But that was the extent of it at that time.

184
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 5: So at this point it's just really money going out.

185
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, letric build.

186
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 8: Crazy, right, I mean, because that's that's the thing, right,

187
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 8: Like we always talk about it. We pride ourselves on

188
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 8: being an informative show absolutely, you know what I mean,

189
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 8: and letting people know like what this thing takes and

190
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 8: how this you know. Obviously we're in a different era

191
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 8: now where a lot of cast is getting.

192
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: Cracking on their phone.

193
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 8: Yeah that's far in few, right, people don't And a

194
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 8: lot of those casts that got cracked on that phone

195
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 8: was only cracking for a year, six months, eighteen months.

196
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 8: We're talking about twenty years, twenty plus years inste that

197
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 8: y'all still doing your thing and at the highest level.

198
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 8: So that initial three years probably helps sustain what you

199
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 8: guys are now, oh.

200
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 6: For sure, because that built all of the chemistry that built.

201
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 6: That was the learning period, That was the incubation, you

202
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 6: know what I mean, like everything we imagine everything we're

203
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 6: doing now during that time for like what you said though,

204
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 6: like money was just going out, like everybody eating off

205
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 6: the top pocket at this point.

206
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, everybody, the whole team at

207
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 7: this point.

208
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, ain't nobody got no jobs. Ain't nobody everybody

209
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 6: trying to do this music thing. So that's the dollar

210
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 6: menu on a jack in the box every day.

211
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: Me and mister split the happy Males. Yeah, right around

212
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: the corner.

213
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: To the mind and caramel Apple.

214
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 5: I know the menu, will That's exactly what it was

215
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 5: trying to figure it out.

216
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 7: So and again the studio is attached to the tops house.

217
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 6: So, like I said, when the electric bill going crazy,

218
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 6: like we were running the studio all night.

219
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 8: That's that's the part I was going to ask you

220
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 8: about that because you said you put a studio at

221
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 8: his house.

222
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: Right, So not only.

223
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 8: Is this like you know this that he has for

224
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 8: you know, creating this label. It's not like he got

225
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 8: this somewhere else either, right, y'all going to his house

226
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 8: every day.

227
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 7: Absolutely, So.

228
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 6: It's a door that lead into the house from the studio,

229
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 6: so things going right to the kitchen too, right yeah,

230
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 6: and eating up all a couple of noodles and cereal

231
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 6: and whatever. So it was like really everybody's house at

232
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 6: this point. He welcomed everybody in. Yeah, you know what

233
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 6: I mean. But again, that was the that was the

234
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 6: period that really cemented us in what we was doing

235
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 6: in our goals.

236
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 8: And ultimately there was no real success from that first deal.

237
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 7: No, it was not at all.

238
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: So now you go three years, you get to the deal, but.

239
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 8: Then you also find out what this music business shit

240
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 8: it's really about.

241
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 6: All we learned quick because we thought once Swoon's Rock signed,

242
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 6: we won.

243
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 7: It's over.

244
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, that littlely you know, that's when it starts, right,

245
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, That's when it really you

246
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 6: really got to get cooking at this point. So we

247
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 6: were sitting back taking a lot of direction from the

248
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 6: record company, which never been the thing to do, just

249
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 6: from a standpoint of we dictate the culture, you know

250
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 6: what I mean, and they helped facilitate what we dictate.

251
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 6: So we was sitting back and waiting for them to

252
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 6: do it and tell us what to do and how

253
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 6: to move and this and that, and we ended up

254
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 6: just being stagnant for a while. And once we finally

255
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 6: got some movement, like after we had it's gonna impact

256
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 6: that radio with the joint, that rock deal with Lil

257
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 6: Wayne caught all my.

258
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 7: Life, my life the week before. It was a whole

259
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 7: regime change at the label.

260
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 6: Been there, b We all know about those, right, So

261
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 6: when they come in, they shut down everything that was

262
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 6: going on before them.

263
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

264
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 6: And we're like, yo, we hot just one week a

265
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 6: week before. Shit, So they, you know what I mean,

266
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 6: shut that down or whatever. So radio backed up. We

267
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 6: ain't really get no real spins on it like we

268
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 6: should have or whatever.

269
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 5: Like this.

270
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 6: When Wayne was at his peak, it's like eight, you

271
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: got everything you need the boy, we got our you

272
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: know what I mean.

273
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 7: So you can imagine how we felt at the time.

274
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 5: So do you immediately try to get out of the deal.

275
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 7: Nah. We actually said, you know what, it's a regime change.

276
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 7: I understand it. This business. Let's try to rock with

277
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 7: these dudes and see, you know what I mean, Well,

278
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 7: we can get get out of it. So we ended

279
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 7: up going through another year of hoops and then pushing

280
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 7: the gold post back. M hmm, because what I actually

281
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 7: figured out.

282
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 6: Was they didn't really want us there, but they didn't

283
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: want to droppers m hm. You know burbank is right

284
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 6: around the corner. You can drive up the burbank, So

285
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 6: they didn't want to deal with that headache, so to speak.

286
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 8: And at that time, I want to say, there was

287
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 8: no other rap over there was it, you know what

288
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 8: that time because I mean Warner at that time, in

289
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 8: my opinion, was known for R and B and like

290
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 8: Eric was signed there at that time.

291
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 7: Right at that time, it was us. It was Mike Jones.

292
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: Was Mike Jones.

293
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then uh forty when he had that surgeons.

294
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 5: Or whatever he did, he had he did have that.

295
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 5: He did have that dealer at the time.

296
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 7: And a little scrappy was over there too, So they

297
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 7: had like that thing going the west.

298
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 5: And mixed south. Yeah.

299
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 6: But so they were asked us to do stuff. We'll

300
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 6: hit that goal and then they'll move it. Say all right,

301
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 6: now you gotta do this. Then we do that spot

302
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 6: in the time, right, because they really they was doing

303
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 6: stuff like when they knew we was coming to the building,

304
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 6: you know, down their promo room. They had their priorities.

305
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 6: They hurry up it right at the name at the

306
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 6: top of the board for a couple post is up here,

307
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 6: right look j Rock exactly. But we had gotten so

00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 6: cool with like the interns and everybody in the building

309
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 6: what they was doing, their callers, and like, yo, man,

310
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 6: they just put that stuff up right before y'all can.

311
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 7: So we like, all, we know what time it is,

312
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 7: so we went, uh, we end up acting for the

314
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:35,959

333
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 6: just like that, like what are you talking about? Southern artist?

334
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 7: So it let me know then, like how the industry worked.

335
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 7: So it's hot time. So that's what they wanted to

336
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 7: focus on, and that.

337
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 5: Is what they had been making some money off of.

338
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, you know what I mean.

339
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 6: This is when oj the Juice Man was hot, like

340
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 6: I said, Mike Jones, and the Houston thing was moving,

341
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 6: Little John was popping, Atlanta was booming. So it's like, oh,

342
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 6: you're not looking for talent, you're looking for whatever the

343
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 6: trend is. So we don't belong here nowhere like all right,

344
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 6: were out, So we left with everything like all the

345
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 6: masters and a promo van m.

346
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 5: Hmm got down you heard him, pat down, left with

347
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:39,960

00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 7: Leave so wrapped it in j Rocks. Oh man, we outside.

349
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 7: We took that thing across the country two times.

350
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: Oh, this is great, that's great.

351
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: When when I got when I got out of my deal,

352
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't think I took a promoman with yeah you

353
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: still got the kids right, You got the kids right?

354
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I.

355
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 5: Love that thing up put them in there too.

356
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 7: It's funny. But you know what, though, what we learned

357
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 7: from that is we can't rely on nobody but us.

358
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, so looking back at it, it was a blessings

359
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 6: a teacher, but moment teacher, absolutely absolutely, because now Kendrick

360
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 6: is bubbling, so we know what to do now.

361
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: So he's bubbling right after you guys walk away from

362
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 2: that deal, yep, and and what what how is he bubbling?

363
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: What is he on? What did he do?

364
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 6: This is so now this is the blog era, you

365
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So when you send the blogs

366
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 6: your record, they're doing right up on it Man introduced

367
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 6: and you letting people know who you are, where you're from,

368
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 6: and then they'll post a song and people are going

369
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 6: during comment.

370
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 7: So that was the thing.

371
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 6: So all the blogs start showing a lot of love

372
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 6: at that point. So whenever we blast out a joint,

373
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 6: everybody will posted everywhere. So we started getting a little

374
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 6: traction that way. So now's we're going straight to the

375
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 6: people now, as opposed to waiting on a record company

376
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 6: to do something.

377
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 5: And at this point, Kendrick is hype man. He going

378
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 5: road with him, right he was.

379
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 7: I mean that's what technically, yes, but I mean not really.

380
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 8: He's doing his own artist thing. But to put him

381
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 8: on stages, he's on stage with Rock.

382
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 7: See, the plan was we want to showcase Kendrick too.

383
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 6: Okay, you know what I mean, because he building at

384
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: the same time Rock building everything Rock going through.

385
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 7: He's going through right next to him.

386
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 6: So if Rock got a show, we have Kendrick do

387
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 6: two songs in the middle of his set, wild hype

388
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 6: man until yeah, so he hyped man for rock, Rock

389
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 6: would go off. He'll do two records Rock come back,

390
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 6: and you know what I mean. So that's how we

391
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 6: was running the thing so you can get familiar with him.

392
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 5: It's very.

393
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: Town yeah right, you know what I'm saying, Very very

394
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: bad boy ish, very like just continuing to use the heat.

395
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 7: Yes, right on over, absolutely, right on over, Like yeah,

396
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 7: I love that. No, for sure, that was the whole thing.

397
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 6: Like we're a team, you know what I'm saying, even

398
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 6: with rock, like Rock making his album, everybody's involved. Yeah,

399
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 6: if they got a chorus, idea, let me try this

400
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 6: hook on your thing, all right, back do it. If

401
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 6: somebody got a beat they got from somebody, this might

402
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 6: fit rock for his album to send it to him.

403
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 7: Like everything was was team oriented.

404
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 5: Was it a thing?

405
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: Where was it a thing where where it was like, Okay,

406
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: this is what's lined up right now. As you say that,

407
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: rock is lined up right now? So everything is rock.

408
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: Everybody all hands on deck, absolutely on rock time.

409
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 6: Yep, that was the That was the mindset because this

410
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 6: was this is the motion we had at the at

411
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 6: that point.

412
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

413
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 6: He had the record deal, he had the most buzzed.

414
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 6: So if he crack off, that's gonna open the door.

415
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 5: For everybody else.

416
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, And as y'all putting these records out with dot,

417
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 8: the blocks start taking to them, right, and then y'all

418
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 8: start working on section eighty.

419
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 6: Yes, even before that though I'm missing the section, we'll

420
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 6: start getting a lot of interest. When we went to

421
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 6: the East Coast and we did a lot of serious

422
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 6: satellite freestyles, and that this would be like if we

423
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 6: see old footage, is us and Nipsey up there, so

424
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 6: it's like he was on the same circuit.

425
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 7: He'll be leaving the uh.

426
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 5: You said picked up on my phone.

427
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: Nigga.

428
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 7: God, that's crazy. But we're on Sirious like Nipple.

429
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 6: Be leaving one of the shows, We'll be walking right

430
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 6: in and it's a few times that we intersected and

431
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 6: then you know, freestyle together. Once people start seeing us

432
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: doing that, that gained a little notoriety back here, you

433
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. And that started happening around the

434
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 6: same time the blog earl was starting, so everything was moving.

435
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 8: That's back when all media had to come through the

436
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 8: East coast, right, you had you had to take that

437
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 8: trip to New York. Like listen, we all remember that time.

438
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 8: That's been really been in this industry. Like you had

439
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 8: to do your press run, you had your label meetings,

440
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 8: you had to go to New York, you know what

441
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 8: I mean.

442
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 7: And that's when I got a lot of a lot

443
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 7: of my connections.

444
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 6: Like when we do the press run with Warner, I

445
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 6: got Richie Abbitt, he was the publicist there and he

446
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 6: was so cool, like he was showing me the ropes

447
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 6: while we were doing the press run. So he's introducing

448
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 6: me to everybody in every spot too. So now when

449
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 6: we go and it's not about rock, I can make

450
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 6: these same phone calls and pull Schoolboy Q through and

451
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 6: pull Abs sold through. Yeah, I mean before you, I

452
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 6: mean they started bubbling like they did. I've been talking

453
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 6: to a cat from Universal and I'm like, Yo, we

Speaker 6: that like, okay, cool, nothing happened.

456
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 7: Talk to him a few months later, Yo, this kid

457
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 7: Kendrick is moving. Bro mean I might want to try

00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 7: to do something like yeah, I heard his name. I

459
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 7: keep working all right, So now Kendrick is hot.

Speaker 5: Well.

471
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 6: It was funny that that switch because this whole time

472
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 6: we had been pursuing. Right now it's transition into what

473
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 6: we pursued.

474
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 7: A little bit.

475
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, loft the Theaterre.

476
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I know, but yeah about that was exactly.

477
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 5: That's how the ship goes. So here's the question when

478
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 5: Dre is saying his name is Drake involved at that

479
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 5: point or he just shouted him We had met him yet,

480
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 5: we didn't even met him yet. But what made him

481
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 5: shout him out.

482
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 7: There's a few different stories. A few different people said

483
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 7: they told Dre about Kendrick.

484
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 5: You know him, the one right, yeah, right.

485
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 6: So however that happened through some of them, people like

486
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 6: he ended up looking at his stuff and he liked it.

487
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 6: So he just happened to be doing a uh interview

488
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 6: with Big Boy, which he don't even do interviews. I

489
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 6: think he was just starting to was he starting to

490
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 6: push Cush at that time? I don't remember what he

491
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 6: was doing, but he was interviewing and they asked him

492
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 6: about a new artist like this kid from a Compton

493
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 6: named Kendrick lamar Stock went up instantly.

494
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: The reason I asked that is when you say, Dre,

495
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: I was trying to get Kendrick on the record. Yeah,

496
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: And and myogi was like, no, I'm gonna call I'm

497
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: call top, I'm gonna get it done.

498
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: I was like, all right, cool, this is right before,

499
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 5: you know, right before the mayhem for sure being pursued.

500
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 5: It ain't go boom yet, right, it was there, and

501
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm about to get this.

502
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: Niggas like Tank, it's gonna cost you know, it's gonna

503
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: cost this man, Mike. I think he's worth it. I

504
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: think we give it to him. It's like, all right, well,

505
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let him know. And I think maybe a

506
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: couple of days it went by and I was like, so,

507
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: what's the what's the word on Kendrick? Yeah, apparently Dre

508
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: said he not doing no more features.

509
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 5: What have to do?

510
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: Bro?

512
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: to get Kendrick Lamar. And the pursuit has gotten to

513
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: a point to where it's untouchable.

514
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: At this point, you weren't part of the plan.

515
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: Good luck.

516
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,000

546
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,600

547
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 6: Let's see what what everybody's talking about. So we end

548
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 6: up Kendrick ended up going and writing some records for Dre.

549
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:05,520

551
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,080

630
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, because they think that everybody's just gonna go to Oakland?

644
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 6: And what's crazy is those people will be the most

645
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 6: turned Oh it was going up what I'm saying, because

646
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 6: they don't get to see people yea.

647
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 2: And mostly there are people from the major cities who

648
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: moved there for either better life, get a bigger, bigger

649
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 2: house out there, it's more quiet. Sometimes your money go bad,

650
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: you gotta get somewhere where it's more affordable.

651
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 5: Conve been there.

652
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: You gotta go with your better Corona build up there,

653
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: you gotta go with your money. Stretch a little bit, stretching. Listen,

654
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 2: I was stretching a Rancho cuckoomung and Corona.

655
00:36:59,520 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 5: How was the.

656
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 3: Cracking? They figured me out.

657
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 5: It's funny.

658
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember I remember a show I did and

659
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: in Fresno. Did you say Fresno in this club? Yeah,

660
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: like about three or four hundred. Yeah, remember that, Yeah,

661
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: I say, great remark.

662
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 8: He was like, Nigga's gonna be crazy because from Fresno

663
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 8: it was exuing there.

664
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 5: I remember that show like it was yesterday to this

665
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 5: had just before downstairs. I remember.

666
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 6: That's how I go, man, Because again, these people don't

667
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 6: get people that just come there all the time. So

668
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 6: when you in their town, they want to go and

669
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 6: have a blast and they party like they ain't never

670
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 6: seen you before.

671
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 8: So is that something that as an executive that you

672
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 8: push to your artist, that you like when you're having

673
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 8: your conversations about brand building, about bilding out there fan

674
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 8: bases like listen, it may not be sweet all the time,

675
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 8: and it may not be the biggest venues or the

676
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 8: biggest city sometimes, but these are the people that will

677
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 8: hold you up.

678
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 7: Oh one thousand percent.

679
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 6: Remember the first show we deal with Kendrick, it was

680
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 6: like eight people in there bro no way, literally like

681
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 6: eight people, not including the twelve we bought still Rocks.

682
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 6: It was in the Long Beach hm hmm, yeah, so.

683
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 7: We went there. I mean the stage was about the

684
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 7: size of this table right there.

685
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 6: Well, it's whatever, like, let's get to it. And these days,

686
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 6: if they ever have fun, they gonna tell people. And

687
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 6: that's how you build it. Like they tell people, and

688
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 6: they tell people and they bring folks and you got

689
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 6: a fan base.

690
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's also a lost start.

691
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: It's like with the phone, everybody makes it seem like,

692
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: you know, as soon as you pop about, it's a

693
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 2: thousand people there. It's the allure because this is the

694
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: other part about that they introduce in my opinion, they

695
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: introduce urban artists to the festival very early. Yeah, a

696
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 2: festival used to be something that you had to be

697
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: really established to get there. Now you can have one

698
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 2: record and they'll put you on a festival show, which

699
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: is kind of crazy. Yeah, because back in the day

700
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 2: they might the DJ might play your song at the

701
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: festival crowd going.

702
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 5: Now they're actually paying you to show up to do

703
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 5: that one song, and it's.

704
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: Great for them because they're getting the energy, the selle,

705
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: the whatever of the one record, But they're crippling you

706
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: as a hard ticket selling artist, right.

707
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 6: But that's the thing though, like when you say with

708
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 6: festivals to me, if you unknown, that's the opportunity gains

709
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 6: more fans, of course, but you can't confuse that with

710
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 6: your hard ticket sales, like you said, because you'll go

711
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 6: do a show and nobody show up, and you do

712
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 6: a festival in the whole tenth for that's because it's

713
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 6: a thousand other artists on this bill and people are

714
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 6: floating around to see what's what. So if you're there

715
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 6: and you got one song, rock out kill it and

716
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 6: try to gain some more fans. So when you do

717
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 6: your hard ticket show, some people might show up for you.

718
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's just like the idea of you

719
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: hitting that festival stage and then having to come to

720
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: terms with them seven people.

721
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 5: That they labeled in that venue, like and that is

722
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 5: a reality.

723
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 2: I didn't know nothing about No Festival, so I was never,

724
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: you know, programmed to believing that that would be a

725
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 2: reality for me. Well, the one thing that did kind

726
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: of I had to kind of get used to was

727
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: I have been singing backgrounds with Genuine and live in arenas, right,

728
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 2: and then they would call me out the sing a

729
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 2: little solo and screams was crazy.

730
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 5: Those must be my screen, you know what I'm saying.

731
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 5: It was, you know, those the Nigga Virginuine screen.

732
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: All right.

733
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: But when it was my turn, I was for sure,

734
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: you know, I was prepared to thug it out, and

735
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: thug it out. I had to in a van with

736
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: everybody and the crew and the equipment. Exactly I did.

737
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 2: I did a dirt floor with with two mics, one

738
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 2: mic for me and one mic from my background singers,

739
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: and it was both on short chords. And I still

740
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 2: took my shirt off and I laid on that dirt

741
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: floor and my song absolutely, yes, sir, absolutely, my little

742
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 2: off fin up got on my knees.

743
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 5: He was a little male fit. Listen them thirty two

744
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 5: people in that place, felt me absolutely. I'm sure they'll

745
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 5: talk about it, right And did you say that? I'm

746
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 5: just like, that's just the lost art. They just getting

747
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 5: back to the.

748
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 6: Streets, you know what it be too though. It's a

749
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 6: lot of ego involved. So to go out there and

750
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 6: there's only a few people out there, like that's not

751
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 6: a comfortable feeling for a lot of people, especially you

752
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 6: don't have that mindset where I got to turn these

753
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 6: twenty people up, you know what I mean, because how

754
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 6: artists are presented again kind of like what you was mentioning,

755
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 6: they presented to be stars already.

756
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 7: When that's not it's not at all.

757
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 5: It's not the case.

758
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 6: Even like with the artists we got right, Like the

759

Speaker 6: Yeah, my thing is I'm gonna remind you just so

786
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 6: you understand, and I want you to be grateful for

787
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 6: the position that you're in.

788
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 8: You say grateful one time, because that is not a thing, right,

789
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 8: and especially not a music business.

790
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: Now.

791
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 5: People being grateful they feel old, right, Like nobody owes

792
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 5: you anything.

793
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 7: That's real talk.

794
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 5: Going back, I chose to sleep on that floor. Yep.

795
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 5: I could have stayed my ass in the bay.

796
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 8: I could have did whatever hustling I was doing back

797
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 8: home in my comfortable bed. I was like, you know what,

798
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 8: I'm going out here to make a life for myself.

799
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 5: So in doing that. There's no furniture in that room exactly,

800
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 5: but that.

801
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 2: Room is connected into a house that has a studio

802
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 2: that at any point of the night I could walk

803
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: my black ass over there and start writing these songs,

804
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 2: real talk so that I can try to change my life.

805
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 5: And I am grateful it built that.

806
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 7: It built so much character, bro you know what I mean?

807
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 7: Like I remember we had all start weekend, like we

808
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 7: all drove down.

809
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 8: But that's definitely a time we realized you not that

810
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 8: you're poor, brose so many rich niggas at All Star, man.

811
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 7: We had that the Flamingo. Ten niggas in one room.

812
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 5: Sleep Vegas All Star Weekend. Yes, when niggas had a

813
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 5: side show.

814

Speaker 7: That year, it was oh man, y'all was we ten

Speaker 7: the chairs. Somebody's sleeping the bathtub. Like, get in where

817
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 7: you fit in out there working? You know what I'm saying,

818
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 7: so a lot of artists don't understand that and haven't

819
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 7: been through that, and you can kind of see it

820
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 7: sometimes in their hunger level, you know what I mean.

821
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 7: But I'm reminders though that they're healthy.

822
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 8: I think the thing that I've seen from the outside,

823
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 8: and you can speak on this because it's your company.

840
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 7: No, you good.

841
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 8: How y'all license deals? More so than it is y'all

842
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 8: doing labeled partnerships or you know what I mean, Like

843
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 8: y'all are fully owners of TDE. There is no code

844
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 8: this with this company that company.

845
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 7: Nah, it's uh, it's just you know, it's just real partnerships. Yeah,

846
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. Like the cis a deal.

847
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 7: The first one we did with r c A. It

848
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 7: was a licensing deal. I think it was like at

849
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 7: the time, was kind of one of its kind, you

850
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 7: know what I mean.

851
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 6: It was kind of the transition when people started breaking

852
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 6: away from giving away everything from Jack exactly.

853
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 5: M hm.

854
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 7: So you know, we just try to try to push

855
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 7: the envelope, you know what I mean, try to.

856
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 6: Try to break new ground, you know what I'm saying,

857
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 6: because like again, the rules of this business are so

858
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 6: old and we're still living by these same old standards,

859
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 6: like we're not even in that time period no more.

860
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 6: So the deals need to be updated and switched around.

861
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 6: So that's what we try to We try to push

862
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 6: the envelope on that.

863
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 2: So when you go from you did the Warner deal,

864
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 2: now you do the Interscope deal. Now you got the

865
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: shout out from doctor dre.

866
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 7: He he uh.

867
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 5: He shuts down my feature text.

868
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 2: Him when we live like that, When is the moment

869
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: where you guys, as as it labeled as guys who've

870
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: been trying to crack the code, because now you know,

871
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 2: the deals are one thing.

872
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 5: Getting a deal done is one thing. But actually.

873
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 2: Feeling like you're headed towards somewhere really successful and even

874
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: seeing some fruits of that labor is something completely different

875
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 2: for sure.

876
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 5: When is that turn for you guys? For me?

877
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 7: That happened before all of that.

878
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 6: Actually this happened in twenty ten when we put out

879
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 6: the Kendrick Lamar LP no EP I'm sorry. So one

880
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 6: of the songs we did on there a song called Faith.

881
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 6: I'm on it with Kendrick and BJ.

882
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 5: You're on yeah, tell them, tell them what you're doing

883
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 5: on it?

884
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, saying bars yeah, bars, yeah, yeah, talking a little

885
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 7: bit get.

886
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 5: Us Yeah yeah. They'd be on Twitter. Ye he doesn't.

887
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 5: Yeah he has on Twitter.

888
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 3: That's a difference.

889
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 7: That's funny.

890
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 6: But now we was doing so that's out and we're

891
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 6: doing an in store in Carson at a app Soul's

892
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,479
Speaker 6: Grandfather record shop.

893
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 7: So you know a crowd of people coming.

894
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 6: This young lady came up to Kendrick and I'm standing

895
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 6: right there and she was like, Yo, this song stopped

896
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 6: me from I mean, harming myself. And at that moment,

897
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, this is bigger than just recording records.

898
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 6: We're actually affecting people's lives. So I figure we had

899
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 6: a bigger purpose at that point, and if it infects

900
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 6: enough people then it'll pay off in other ways as well.

901
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 7: But that's the goal now, you know what I'm saying.

902
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 7: We want to do something that helps somebody.

903
00:50:49,719 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 8: At the end of the day, you guys have established

904
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 8: yourself at this point as a powerhouse rap label, right,

905
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 8: even if that's not the you know, the intention, it's

906
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 8: just what happens.

907
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 5: It's the music business.

908
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 8: Everything is about boxes that nobody wants to be in,

909
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 8: of course, but now you're in that box, your.

910
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 5: West Coast, gainst the rap, all those things, right, just.

911
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 3: This is what they do.

912
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 5: Yep. Then y'all hit a full a full turn.

913
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, they said, you know what, We're gonna sign an

914
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 8: R and B artist that's not from the coast.

915
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 5: And it's a woman. Yeah, what's the what's the thought

916
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 5: process into that?

917
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 7: That's exactly what the thought process was for me personally.

918
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 6: So I'm looking at what we're doing so we established,

919
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 6: we got Jay Rock, we got Kendrick Uh, Schoolboy Q

920
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 6: popping on the radio. Now we got apps, so that's

921
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 6: everybody's favorite rappers, favorite rapper, Jay Rock, got his joint out.

922
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 7: We established. Now we're a hip hop rap label.

923
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, cracking.

924
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 6: So my mindset was like, all right, I want to

925
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 6: branch out and see if we can become a dominant

926
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 6: music label.

927
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 7: And that was my mindset moving with Scissor.

928
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 8: Because that's not something that is normal either though, right Records,

929
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 8: Like you said, becoming a music label, Yeah, most hip

930
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 8: hop labels, in my opinion, they don't really know how

931
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 8: to make that transition, right because him and I talk

932
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 8: about this all the time that the radio department is different.

933
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 5: You know, it's not.

934
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 8: You're not servicing the same DJs. Truth, they it's a

935
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 8: whole another game.

936
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 7: See.

937
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 6: But one of the advantages, right, What attracted me to

938
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 6: her was she approached her songs as an MC, you

939
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 6: know what I mean, as opposed to a traditional R

940
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 6: and B singer or just a singer in general. Like

941
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 6: she approached it as an MC. Like I'm listening to

942
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 6: the words and the metaphors and the stuff She's saying,

943
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, I know what this is. I'm familiar

944
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 6: with this because, like I said, we got four hard hitters,

945
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 6: So it's just a matter of transition, transitioning that in to.

946
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 7: What we're doing.

947
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 6: Where do you find this? How do you think, bro?

948
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 6: It was all accident. Actually, Kendrick had a show in Brooklyn,

949
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 6: and I remember this because this was exactly a year

950
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 6: four Good Kid Mass City dropped, so it was a

951
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 6: year to the day, October twenty second, twenty eleven. So

952
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 6: he's doing the show and she's helping out one of

953
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 6: her friends be on the merch booth, so you know,

954
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 6: I'm trying to get some merch. They ain't have my size.

955
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 6: They had all little nigga sizes, So you know, we

956
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 6: exchanged in for whatever. My guy exchanged info with her

957
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 6: and she was gonna meet us the next day and

958
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 6: bring sizes or whatever. So she put up the next

959
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 6: day with one of her friends and were meeting in

960
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 6: the hotel lobby. So we's just sitting there, we chopping

961
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 6: it up, and her friend has these these earphones in

962
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 6: and she's just kind of like in her own zone,

963
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 6: just bobbing her head. So I'm getting distracted. When I'm talking, like, yo,

964
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 6: what are you listening to? And she was like this

965
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 6: her you ain't know she's saying, like what, so let

966
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 6: me hear it. So I listened like it was crazy,

967
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 6: Like her voice caught me right off top. So I'm like, Yo,

968
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 6: that's crazy. She said she wasn't gonna say nothing. But

969
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 6: I don't know if that was the setup or what

970
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 6: I was gonna ask. I was gonna ask you, like,

971
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 6: so you.

972
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 2: Gotta vibe vie with the T shirts and I'm gonna

973
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 2: try to act like I'm not with you listening to.

974
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 7: You, right, But apparently this was one of the first

975
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 7: real songs that.

976
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 6: She actually recorded, So she had did some stuff before,

977
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 6: she would mess around on hooks with friends or whatever,

978
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 6: but like that's her first real record, Like I think.

979
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 7: This was the second one she did. So from there

980
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 7: we we kept in contact and you know, she'd send

981
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 7: me stuff she was working on, and we talked back

982
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 7: and forth, you know, give advice and this and that.

983
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 6: So that went on for two years years before I

984
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 6: mean we actually decided we're going to work together.

985
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 5: So has she been even shopping stuff to let anything?

986
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 6: No, No, it was more so just around New York

987
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 6: around the cool kids in New York at the time,

988
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 6: and because literally that song I heard was a part

989
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 6: of her first EP, so that was the first thing

990
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 6: that she ever put out to the public.

991
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 7: So I was already kind of on board at that point.

992
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean as far as just on some consulting

993
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 5: with her, helping her exactly.

994
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 6: So I was in New York one time we met

995
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 6: up and her manager had just quit. I said she

996
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 6: didn't want to work with her no more.

997
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 7: I was fumbled with, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're talking. She's like,

998
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 7: you know what you should just is me?

999
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 5: You know what, You're right, Let's do it because you're

1000
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 5: already believe in it.

1001
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:07,919
Speaker 7: Yeah for sure.

1002
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 6: See, but I didn't want to like push or you

1003
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 6: know what I mean, because she had her things she

1004
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 6: was trying to do, so I'm just respectful of that.

1005
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 6: And when you know, she needed advice or whatever, then

1006
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 6: I lean in. But once that opened up, I was like,

1007
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 6: all right, bat, let's go.

1008
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 5: The moment that made it?

1009
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, pushed through, like okay, absolutely, how is the

1010
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 8: conversation with top though, or does he already know about her?

1011
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 7: Nah?

1012
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 6: Now he didn't know about her. It was actually strategic

1013
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 6: about it. I know this dude so well.

1014
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 7: So I went around the camp. First, they had her music, so.

1015
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you put the hair, you put the headphones up, right,

1016
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 5: who would you listen to?

1017
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 7: So I let Dave hear it first. Dave liked it.

1018
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 5: Because Daved the first person that told me about Sissy.

1019
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 7: Oh really, yeah, that's crazy. So I let him hear

1020
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 7: it first.

1021
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 5: He liked it.

1022
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 7: I let Moosa hear it. Musa liked it. Then I

1023
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 7: went the top. No, I let Kendrick hear it too,

1024
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 7: so everybody loved the music. And then I hit top.

1025
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 6: I'm like, YO, got this new artist I think we

1026
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 6: should mess with. He was like, yeah, anybody heard it yet? Yeah,

1027
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 6: Dave heard it, Musa heard it, Kendrick heard It's like

1028
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 6: all dope. Like, man, you've seen her perform live. Yet

1029
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 6: she got to showing Brooklyn coming up and fly out

1030
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 6: there with Dave. I was ready, you know what I'm saying.

1031
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 6: It was like all right, bet, and he heard the

1032
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 6: music and he liked it. So then once we flew

1033
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 6: out there, we surprised her. She didn't know he was coming.

1034
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 6: She did her set or whatever, and it was locked

1035
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 6: in from there. I was like, what twelve years ago.

1036

1084
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 8: guy in the room all the time.

1089
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 5: thing is going? Because I don't know some of this shit?

1090
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 7: Nah, I ain't never felt that way because I know

1091
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 7: what the goal was. The goal was to get her

1092
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 7: to the people.

1093
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 6: Okay, If I can get her to the people, however

1094
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,919
Speaker 6: that may be, then I think we're gonna be good.

1095
