All right? Fuck out there, you know 329 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So he came back and it was 330 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: just like a sad situation. What do you think is 331 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: the smartest decision you've made? The smartest decision I made 332 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: was rapping, start rapping, pick up a mic. I think 333 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: that was a smart decision I made. And let me 334 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: ask you this. So you also recently were a type 335 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: of a conversation because the Basketball Wives, right, DJ Duffy 336 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: is on this show. Yeah, and she had a baby 337 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: she's engaged, and she was saying that she might take 338 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: some time off from being on the road. Yeah, and 339 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: you were like, all right, you can't come back then. Yeah, 340 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: so let's talk about that for a second, because I 341 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: saw that was a big topic on social media. Yeah, 342 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: I think that. Um, you know, when you come into 343 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: this game, a lot of people don't understand that it 344 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: comes It doesn't come with your own schedule. It comes 345 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: with sacrifice in order for you to be the best DJ, 346 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: will be the best artist, will be the best basketball 347 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: for basketball players and you know they're on the road 348 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: for most of the year, you know what I mean, Like, 349 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: you have to you have to be able to make 350 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: certain sacrifices. If not, then you can't be in this game. 351 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: Say you can't just come in, come in the game 352 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: and just expect to make all this money, to get 353 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: all this fame, be this, you know what I'm saying. 354 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: Then you just want to stay home. It don't happen 355 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: like that. Fine, fighting, you gotta sacrifice. But if somebody's like, okay, 356 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: I just need like you know six, especially a woman 357 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: who had a baby, yeah, which she did have to 358 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: take time off because yeah, yeah, yeah, you know of 359 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: course that time, then I can come back. No, that 360 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: time she had to take off, but she was taught 361 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: about she was going to retire, right, Yeah, she was like, 362 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: she was like, you know, I want to, I want to, 363 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: you know, I'm confused. I'm don't be confused because there's 364 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: people that want to be in their position, right, don't 365 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: be confused. That's the crazy thing about that is is 366 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, and this is when you start people getting upset. Right. 367 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: The new generation feels like, I feel like a lot 368 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: of times things should be given right now. Maternity leave 369 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: is totally different. Right you have a baby, Absolutely you 370 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: deserve maternity leave. Some fathers out there paternity leave. But 371 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: I think we lose the grind, right. You figured, like 372 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: if we look at French and we've seen all the 373 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: stuff that French did, the sacrifices. French was was taping, 374 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, taping you know what was cocaine city stuff, 375 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: and he was at the clubs, he was traveling. He grinded, 376 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: didn't sleep, just to any other. So now when somebody says, hey, 377 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna take a couple of months off 378 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: to see if I'm a retire or not. If you 379 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: take if you take that time. If you leave me 380 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: while I'm working, I gotta find a replacement. I'm not 381 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: gonna find a replacement for a week or a month 382 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: till you figure out what you want to do. I'm 383 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: gonna find a replacement to replace you. I don't think 384 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with that, do you. Well, I just 385 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: think it's I think he was honest about it, you know, 386 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,239 Speaker 1: because somebody could have said, do what you gotta do 387 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,239 Speaker 1: and then they get replaced anyway. Yeah, and so, but 388 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: I also feel like you never know what could happen. 389 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: He could have got somebody else and then she could 390 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: have been ready to come back, and he could have 391 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: felt like, man, she was better, and you know, you 392 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 1: never know what had happened. Yeah, but it's still up 393 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: in the air to me. But I do think that's 394 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: an honest thing to say to somebody, because yes, you 395 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: do still need to have Yeah, of course, man, you 396 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: gotta let them like when you tell them that, that's 397 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: when they have to make a decision. Do I really 398 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: want this? You know what I'm saying That decision have 399 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: to be made one at one point in your career, 400 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: because if you don't love whatever you do, you're gonna 401 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: get tested, You're gonna go through certain levels. Then we're 402 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: gonna be like, man, do I really love this? Because 403 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't take it no more when But 404 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: I know for women in particular, it's different when you 405 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: have a kid and you have that connection and they're 406 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: really young, and then you leave and you miss your 407 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: baby so much. But then she missed work a lot too, 408 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: so it's a harder balance. I feel like when it's women, yeah, definitely. 409 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: I mean she had the time with the baby. Now, 410 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: Like it wasn't like I was gonna ask you one 411 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: one time the conversation was versus, Yeah, would you do versus? 412 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: Would you be willing to do? Versus um? I didn't 413 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: one with Tory Lanes. I blew a sockshall that that 414 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: was That was the earlier was earlier. It was the 415 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: first ones that started versus um because versus and I 416 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: told Swiss that Swiss on me a check. I swear 417 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: I hit him. I told me you gotta give me 418 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: a check, and he did. He said it to my lawyer. Yeah, yeah, 419 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: he sent me paperwork like yo. You know, because the 420 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: first time it was, it was they were just beat battling. 421 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: I remember saying, I called Swiss and I called I 422 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: called timber Land. Up. I'm like, y'all need y'all to 423 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: judge this joint. We're about me and me and Tory 424 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: Lanes because he had the quarantine radio and I was like, yo, 425 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: but instead of me just going on your quarantine radio 426 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: and doing that, let's just do it a versus. He 427 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: was like, oh, nah, you an't got me. Nah. I'm like, yo, bro, 428 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: you gotta stop playing with me. Man your catalog and 429 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: even you know what I'm saying. So we did it. 430 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: We was talking back and forth. I remember then I 431 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: had um timber Land and Swiss beats on the on 432 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: the thing and everybody would judging it. And after that 433 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: they just took it and just like you know, to 434 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: you know, to the next level. You know, all up 435 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: to them. But as far as me, it is whoever know. 436 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: One time, Jim, it was supposed to be you and Jim, 437 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: which I think would be great because y'all had problems 438 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: before y'all squashed it. I think that would be a 439 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: good one. Yeah, I think because you and Jim, Jim, 440 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: Jim got records. Nah, Jim, if you're watching this, don't 441 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: do it. I think I think that you both told 442 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: is so. I think if it would be really really entertaining, 443 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: really really good, I don't think you don't think so. Nah, 444 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: Why now Jim got records? No, he do? All right? 445 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: After Balling, go go against pop that right, let's just 446 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: say Balling and pop that had the head were you 447 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: gonna go next?

But yeah, But honestly, though, I think I think, 451 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to versus, you could just 452 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: go twenty for twenty or anybody just because it doesn't 453 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: matter what else you got. And know what I'm saying, 454 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: you can just pick those twenty records and just go 455 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: against you know, just like how Drake go against jay Z, 456 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: even though jay Z got a longer catalog. It's the 457 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: top twenty records. But you choose and what you put 458 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: against exactly whatever record exactly. Now for this new album 459 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: with Harry Fard, he did the whole album, right, yeah, 460 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: the whole album. I want to ask you this, You 461 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 1: think that people have a certain expectation of you, like 462 00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: they expect more of the party songs now nowadays, because 463 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: those are the ones that have always been really big 464 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: as of late. Um well, I'm you know. I became 465 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: the first African born artist to go diamond, and I 466 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: became the first male artist from the Bronx, from the 467 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: mecca of hip hop, to go diamond, you know what 468 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I got four albums, three even platinum. 469 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, for me, I 470 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: accomplished everything I wanted to do, and now it's time 471 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: for me to make music for me and for my 472 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: core audience, the people that helped me get here, the 473 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: people that started listening to me when I made Shot 474 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: Caller and New York Minute and Mac and Cheese mixed 475 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: Saves and this and that. So I felt like me 476 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: and Harry Fraud, we never gave it a full push 477 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: as far as my you know, my music, so we 478 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: always just did a one offs. We did the Shot Callers, 479 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: we did I'm a coke boy who did this, but 480 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: we never did a full project. So I just wanted 481 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: to get back full circle to the essence of hip 482 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: hop and just like you know what, that's what I 483 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: want to make.

And what I'm saying, 486 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: I came in with Harry Fraud and it's our first 487 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: project together that's fully produced by Harry fardds. It's something 488 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: you just felt like, this is what I want to do. 489 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: It don't matter. I accomplished so many things and this 490 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: is the music I feel like I want to do. Yeah, definitely, 491 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: because because at the end of the day, when you 492 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: talk about rest in peace for the Guard's side, you 493 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: know he said it. He's like, you know, when you 494 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: talk about top five mcs, it don't matter what you do, 495 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: where you at, what's going on. When you talk about 496 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: the top five, the number one thing is gonna be 497 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: his bars, you know what I'm saying. So you know 498 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: we're going back to the essence. I'm here to make 499 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: history and leaving my mark. I did everything, you know 500 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like, there's artists have been in the 501 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: game three you know, three times the lymp I've been 502 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: in the game and still haven't won diamond. Jay Z 503 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: haven't won diamond Snoop haven't won diamond what I'm saying, 504 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: But they have way more other things, you know what 505 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's that's more than what I got. As 506 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: far as me leaving the legacy, I want to get 507 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: back to this now. You feel like because you name 508 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: all your accolades, some of your accolades, and I think 509 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: people forget about a lot of the stuff that you do. 510 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: Do you feel like they don't respect French as a 511 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: rapper or as a lyricist because of some of the 512 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: other things, because of the relationship with the Kardashian and 513 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: Trina and some of the other ones. You step down, 514 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: it's more about French is personal life and less about 515 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: the lyrics um because the fact that you went diamond, 516 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: and that's that's huge, Like, yeah, you've got a lot 517 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: of artists have never gone diamond. Yeah, but you know, 518 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: we don't talk about French going diamond, which is crazy. Yeah, 519 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. I feel like it's the same 520 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: thing with Drake. Drake kar rap better than other artists, 521 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But they don't want to 522 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: get it to him because he's still smelling as flowers. 523 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's a nice way to 524 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: say it. Yeah, you're still smelling your flowers. People ain't 525 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna put the light on you while you're still smelling 526 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: your flowers. It's like, you know, they you know they 527 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: got Drake is different though, Yeah, And I think what 528 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: Drake is because Drake is busy. He could, he put 529 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: together songs, he's lyrically, he could. He will body a 530 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: lot of most rappers out. Yeah. But I think which 531 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: gives Drake the little asterix is when he went back 532 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: in that beef and it was like, Drake, they'll write 533 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: his own rhymes. Yeah, that gave him a little astric 534 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: and he never discussed it. He never spoke about he 535 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: never came out. I was like, nah, that's you know 536 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: what it is. And I think that gave him the asterix. 537 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: But if that astric wasn't there for hip hop, he's 538 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: by far one of the best ever. But after this album, 539 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna get back to that topic, you know what 540 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, after this album, I'm gonna get back 541 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: to that topic. I just think, you know, and that's 542 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: and that's that's the lane I'm going down, you know 543 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: what I mean? Because that's bro Like I came from them, 544 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: like I came from, like if Chicago Bulls or nine, 545 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: like ninety six Michael Jones was playing, That's where I 546 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: was at in the Bronx. That's the mecca of hip hop, 547 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: like Big Pun down the street, you know, the Carrots 548 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: one down here, like you know, you know, um, everybody 549 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: was right there. Yeah, everybody slicked the rule of everybody. 550 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: So to make it out of there. The time that 551 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: I was there, it was like, you know, it was 552 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: mission impossible, and and we had to battle, like like 553 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: literally like you would take five bands, you take your 554 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: re up money fifteen grand, you will go here, you 555 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: will go ahead, go to every projects the battle. So 556 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: we come from hip hop rapping. I had to wrap 557 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: the get on. All my music is wrapped, you know 558 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: what I'm saying when when I got on. But you 559 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: know I had to try to, you know, accomplish. You 560 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: can't accomplish too much. Was just too much rap. Like 561 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: you've seen jay Z always had dem my bars down. 562 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: What was that line that he's at.
