Right, No, it was it was before man. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.160 It was, it was. It was a lot of it 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.960 was actually a lot of people before me, man, wildlife 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:30.080 society Okay, okay, yeah, it was out there. You know, 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.840 Hammer had a group that was from Mississippi. Really yeah, yeah, bro. 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.760 And it's like, you know, the thing that I'll say 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:41.280 is that I was just the culmination of all the 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.280 sacrifices and not just other rappers with the blues, you 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.760 know what I'm saying. And I'll never take all the credit. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.120 One thing that people never noticed about me is that 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.519 if y'all noticed, I never really talked about my city 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.119 where I was from, because I wanted to hold state 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.720 of Mississippi until we got a scene. I didn't want 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.800 people to think because we were from the capitol, we 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.160 were from the city, you know, in Mississippi, that I 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.320 would ever leave anybody out. I never wanted people to 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.480 feel the way that hip hop made me feel at 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.679 one time. And that's one of the that's one of 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.960 the reasons why I had the type of respect that 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.360 I have for you too, because a lot of people 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.240 don't know this, bro. Did you know that Nori was 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:26.280 the first person in history to buy David bannerbeet And 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:27.959 do you know do you remember who it was? 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:28.760 Yeah? 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.120 Yeah, yeah, it was Little Brothers Group, you know what 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.760 I'm saying. And so for us to still be here, 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:41.960 man with our gray Beard, if you do have a 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:51.520 just so you know, yeah, you know. And so what 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.840 I always try to do is let people know that 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:58.320 there's a strong and there's a great history in Mississippi. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:03.240 And I actually was bestow one of the greatest greatest 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.720 honors of all time I'm in the Mississippi Music Hall 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.440 of Fame, right in between BB King and elms Bro 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.440 And I don't know if I'm still but I think 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:17.000 I'm the youngest to ever get that honor. In front 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.600 of the Civil Rights Museum in Jackson, Mississippi, I'm on 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.040 a mural and y'all, I gotta tell y'all. Gonn tell 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.719 you all the quick story. Man, it actually runs chills 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.800 through my heart. I thought my basketball coach in high 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.359 school hated me, right, he was so mean to me. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.359 And one day he brought me into the classroom after school, 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.359 and I didn't know he was like into the Black 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.680 Power movement a whole lot. I guess he never let 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.000 us know, let the kids know. So he brought out 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.599 all of these pictures and stuff, and he was like, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.640 lavel I had a dream that one day I saw 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.360 you on a mural between you and Malcolm X. Right, 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.880 I ended up being on a mural between some of 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.159 the greatest mississipp people in history, and everybody on this 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.640 mural in mississippi's dead. I'm the only one that's on 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.159 that mural that's still alive. And so I called him 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.080 the morning the teacher. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.520 Oh yeah, okay, the coup. 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.159 He died the morning that I found out about the mural. 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.159 I called him at like seven o'clock in the morning. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.520 He had died at five a m.

You said that you didn't smile because 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.360 you came in the house one day and your father 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.000 you smiling, and he was like, what are you so 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:26.040 happy about? And I promise you, guys, I don't work 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.840 for this movie. But this is a movie called Race, right, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.800 so on Netflix it's about Jesse Owens. I'm gonna get 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:33.160 it to this run. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:33.480 Instance. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.640 I've be watching all the shit now and I remember 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.920 Jesse Owen's father being a figure just like that, like 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.000 he didn't smile the whole time. And I started to 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.120 think of the people in my neighborhood who actually did 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.280 have fathers, and most of the black fathers were like 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.480 you said your high school coach was. They were kind 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.480 of mean, but they were trying to teach us structure, 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.840 and we didn't understand that was there like that in 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:56.480 your household. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.240 First of all, I want to I'm glad ask you 0:07:58.280 --> 0:07:59.920 asked me that question because I want to take up 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.760 for my father, because my father got flat when I 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:08.040 said so. I didn't realize until about four years ago. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.920 I thought my dad was the meanest motherfucker on the planet. 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.000 But my dad got beat with a bull whip when 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.480 he was young. My dad grew up on a farm, right, 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:28.160 So sorry what they and so if you think about 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.920 it in comparison to his life, he was softened on me. 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.400 So I just thought he was this brooding, just mean monster. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.400 But what I figured out was was that my dad 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.719 knew what black men had to go through in and 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.040 so he can coddle me if he want to, and 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.280 then put me out in the streets in Jackson, Mississippi, 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.319 and I get ate the fuck up, right, So what 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.599 my dad did was prepared his son. And all of 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.719 these motherfuckers that criticized my father, look at who I 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.080 am now, look at what I am now. So how 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.040 would you change anything about you know, I see black 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:07.480 folks and always trying to adjust our culture, always trying 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.439 to go into our future. That shit ain't working. That 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.000 shit ain't working with our kids. And then we always 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.480 talk about the Bible. We say spare the rod and 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.080 quicken the child to the grave. You can't spare the rod. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.200 And what's happening with our children is that we are 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:27.000 taking the you take, you take. You don't take the 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.480 pain out of your child's life. You take the danger 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.080 out of your child's life. Y'all. They used to make 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.400 me so upset because all my friends loved my father. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.000 He would laugh at them and play games with them 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.719 and shit. And then as soon as I leave im like, dad, 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.240 why are you laughing? My dad say, they make my 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.360 motherfucking kids. I don't care what the fuck they do. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.679 They can the life that they want to make a 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.680 shit sweet. This life ain't sweet, you know what I'm saying. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:57.000 And no, Lionori. I remember one time, and I want 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.280 to tell the story for here because people may are 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.160 not seeing the Brea Club. I was about ten years 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.319 old and I walked into the house laughing. You know 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.719 how kids are just happy. Kids just be happy, just 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.880 for a second, being happy, you know, the sun shouting 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.320 I'm happy. I walk in the house and my dad said, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.240 what the fuck you happy for? Why are you smiling? 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.439 He said, I pay all the bills and I'm not happy, 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.120 so what the fuck are you happy? And I stopped smiling. 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.760 I abortion it, and I really didn't smile. To think 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.640 think about the Daily round House, y'all didn't see me smiling. 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:34.360 But also, people don't think about this, Jackson. Mississippi was 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.000 the murder capital of the United States during that time, Bro, 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.800 you know what I'm saying. And we were smaller town, 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.160 so in other cities you could go a month or 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.160 two without seeing your enemies where we from. Let me 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:46.439 ask you. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.360 Let me ask you because that was something that I 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.480 brung up earlier before you came on the run. That 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.840 was something I wanted to actually ask you about, because yeah, 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.079 we knowed that that was the murder capital, but was 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:04.240 that regularly infused or was that black on black like 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:05.280 when it was the murder capit. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.160 Well, I'll say this, bro, I don't The thing I 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.240 tell people about Mississippi all the time is if I 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.480 had to pick a white person on this earth to 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.520 fuck with, it would be Mississippi white folks. Because Mississippi 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.959 white folks, if they love you, they'll dit for you. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.760 If they hate you, they'll try to kill you. It's 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.839 like these other cities like bro you know, yeah, you'd 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.040 be around a white dude working with them, and then 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.520 this motherfucker been stealing your pension. You eight years old 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.800 and your money gone, and you thought that was the hommie. 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.400 At least in Mississippi, a motherfucker. Like, there were lines. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.600 I even knew this from selling my CDs. There were 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:44.200 lines in Mississippi, lines of demarcation where white kids didn't 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.960 go past. If your music wasn't in certain stores past 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.559 that line, they just wasn't going past that line. And 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.880 if you saw white people pass that line, then you 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:54.679 knew that they fucked with you. Okay, you know what 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.440 I'm saying. So in Mississippi, like I really didn't deal 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.800 with that racist shit that people were talking about. Motherfuckers. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.720 I heard the white boys in North Mississippi up close. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.200 You know, it was a little bit different. But where 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.679 we were from, like black folks ran that ship. We 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.880 ain't had no problems. We ain't had no problems with 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:13.679 white folks at all. You know what I'm saying, Well, 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.320 I didn't. I ain't never seen no clue close clan, 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.120 like in guard you know what I'm saying, Because Black 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.520 folks was about their ship. We had been through enough. 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:29.320 But see him in Walmart. We're not probably see them 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.080 all over. They were the closet. 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.880 And but what I will say, man, is that I 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.880 think what happened with Jackson Mississippi. You know, you had 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:44.280 the you had the the migration lines, you know, through 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.400 the Mississippi River and the trains. So we were so 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:52.240 deeply connected and so deeply rooted in Chicago. So like 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.040 you know, our parents who moved to Chicago, like me 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.120 and my mother, were different. Most people didn't notice. Like 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:04.559 my mother was born in Mississippi, raised in Chicago, and 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.439 it was the exact opposite for me, you know. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.000 And so. 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.840 When somebody would get in trouble in Chicago, they would 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.360 send him to their grandma. You know what I'm saying. Well, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.679 we wanted to see a better life, we would move 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.559 up to Chicago, you know what I'm saying. Think about it, crazy, 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:21.559 think about it, y'all. 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:23.760 Had that sound first of Mississippi was looking at Chicago. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.360 If you've seen Centers, that's what the whole story was about. 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.920 Don't tell him, Okay, y'all see it. Yeah, we got 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.400 him coming. We gotta come. Ryan Google. Yeah, Ryan Google. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.200 We'll tell him in his next Mississippi movie. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:43.959 Yeah, somebody in Mississippi misspi. So let me ask you 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:45.760 bouncing around all over the place. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:45.960 Right. 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.439 Somebody said somebody was being funny earlier, and they was like, 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.439 imagine David Banner with doctor Umar. 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.880 Right, you have you ever met doctor being? Doctor Umar 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.280 went on to speaking to her so loud it was 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:04.520 called three k okay. Yeah, it was me, doctor Umar. 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.719 And who else was it? It's so funny to me, man. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.559 And I'll say this. One of the things that I 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.800 do dislike in Black power is that shit is almost 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:21.080 like the rap game. Like I don't care what religion 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.920 people believe in. I don't care how people believe that 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.120 we can get the freedom. Let's just get the freedom. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.360 I don't think that Malcolm and Martin had to fucking 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.280 compete with each other. Sometimes you need the guns, sometimes 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.520 you need peace. Why can't we co mingle if we 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.880 really want to see people free, Like, I don't give 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:44.480 a fuck people's theories on how black people can be liberated. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.680 Black and brown people can be liberated. If we got 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.200 a foot in. I ass, we got a foot in. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.440 I ass. You know what I'm saying. And if you 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:55.400 look at white oppression, it comes by air, it comes 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.600 through the ground, comes through the water. And that's what 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.280 I'm saying. Look at the army, So why can't we 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:06.160 have different facets of liberation? So I love what we 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.440 all do. Man, I don't have no problem with nobody. 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.440 Man, I like, I like doctor Umar, like be like, 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.320 no most nobody. What did you think about that with Shannon? 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:17.760 Did you hear hear what happened with Shannon? 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.320 I don't really care who. Nobody fucking I think that's 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.040 the lame and ship in the world. Man Like, bro, 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.600 they look at the terrors and look at what's going 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.880 on with I figured, this is so much shit that's 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.120 going on in our communities. Man, I don't give a 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:38.000 fuck who somebody's having sex with, like you know, And 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:42.880 so for me, man like, for us to concentrate on 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.560 that so much, and I do. I want to tell 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.800 you all this, This is something that I was watching 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.280 and it was led to my spirit for me to 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.680 say to you all because I consider you too my friends. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.080 I don't consider too many motherfuckers my friends. Is you 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:01.600 all got so successful so fast. Ask But the difference 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.520 between you and you and other people and Wallow and 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.960 Gilly are very similar. That you all controlled y'all power, 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.080 you know, So they have us chasing numbers, and they 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.920 have us chasing things that we never have to chase 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.560 because you all are crude to your power on your own. 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.120 So you don't have to get any more popular than 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.760 you are. Just stay true to the people, because sometimes 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.360 I see people once they get really famous, they don't 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.360 know where else to go, so they start doing corny shit. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.280 They start doing shit that ain't in their spirit. Y'all 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.640 are rooted in the people. Y'all are rooted in the 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.400 coach Nory. Y'all talk about that this morning about you. 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.840 This man called me. He don't never call me when 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:48.520 it's time to make some money call me, nor say Benner, 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:53.800 Norri Saint Benner. Wrap. The rap game needs a motherfucking union. 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.160 We need to figure out. We sat on the phone 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.200 for two and a half hours literally trying to figure 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.240 out how we can get union right. And so bro, 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.840 those are the types of things that we do. Hold on, man, 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.240 let me see that you want. I ain't gonna poke 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:09.399 one of these come on that I'm gonna take one. 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:18.680 They don't know what I do. But y'all, just y'all 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.160 state state stay routed. And what's powerful to you all? 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:21.359 Man? 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.320 You all came up with an idea, bro, even think 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.080 about it, man, for you all to get some people 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.159 to drink who may not drink. They can say some 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.840 ship that they normally wouldn't say on TV. 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.080 But that's but I love everything you just said, but 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.879 I want to I want to let people who know 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.119 who just party court your your speech speech. 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:42.920 This is about giving people their. 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.160 Flowers, man, Like, really, really, what it is is there's 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.879 been people that me and EFN has been even more 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.920 successful than we bowed out and we humble ourselves and 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.879 we're giving people their flowers because in this game, if 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.000 I sincerely believe if you was famous for two years, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.640 he was famous for three years, and especial let alone 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:01.600 who we interview. 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.160 If you're famous for ten years and you can. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.200 Still have a head on your shoulders, you really do 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.680 deserve your flowers. You really, like I said this, I 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.520 said this playing around and I named the record super 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.480 Doug and I tested on this earlier. But like, if 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.360 you've been famous in this rap game for ten years. 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.399 You are a superhero. You're a version of it, you 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:22.600 know what. 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.760 I'm saying, And not just famous, and not just famous 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.720 if you were a pioneer, especially someone that worked on 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:28.200 the ground. 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.000 We know those foundation when it was hard to get 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:32.280 time to get off. 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.479 Like I sincerely believe that this this is my therapy, 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:36.720 you know what I'm saying. Like when I could give 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:38.480 a person a flowers and tell them listen, man, I 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.040 want to give it to you while you can smell them, 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.720 your thoughts, while you could think them your drinks, while 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:42.240 you could drink them. 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:42.719 You know what I mean? 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:47.000 Because the thing with us, what we said is it's 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:48.520 never going to take away from us for us to 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:50.880 give people that just do you know what I mean? 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.160 And that's what that's what hip hop is missing. That's 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.240 what I think. This is a real special part of this. 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:06.600 But crookedly, that's just let's start with that, right Me 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.520 and you spoke about it earlier, but let's let the 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.040 fans in. We have very similar Like I came out 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.720 with the war report Corona nor Jega, then you guys 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.440 came out with that. How what's the difference between when 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.440 you when you're in the group and you when you're 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.680 solo artists. What's that difference, man, it's. 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.879 I'll just say this, man, it feels good when you 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:35.399 had your brothers around you. You know, I was always 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.240 the oldest brother, you know what I'm saying. 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:37.560 I was. 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:41.760 I was always a trailblazer, man. But this ship ain't easy. 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.840 People don't talk about the mental aspect of having to 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.760 go through this ship. They never talk about the street 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.680 ship we gotta go through. They never talk about the 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.359 social implications. They never talk about the police, you know 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.560 what I'm saying, especially what they was doing y'all during 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.040 that time, hip hop police. What the hip hop police 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:04.480 wasn't playing ship? Bro? I was with being ras Cascers 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:06.919 with John Forte one night Bro and got helped up 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:08.240 going to the Cheetah club. 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:10.360 Man. 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:16.560 Yeah. Yeah. But the difference between being in the group, man, 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.600 is that you know, you have somebody that you can 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.040 go through this ship with because a lot of things 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.200 we can't talk to people about. A lot of pressures 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.920 we can't talk to people about. You know, even from 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.480 a street perspective, bro, Men, you're talking about this North 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:33.159 something as small ass. Well, we from there ain't no 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.600 motherfucker all up on you, all close and shit back 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.479 the fuck up. But you know, as you become famous 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.600 and ship, everybody want to run up the dope. People 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.359 don't make quick moves where I'm from, bro, like you 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.840 make a quick move where I'm from. You dead, you 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.840 feel me. So it's like even getting used to going 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:52.359 from being the hunter to being the hunted, Like I 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.159 wasn't used to that ship, right, And when you have 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:59.800 a brother with you, that's dope. But then you also 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.440 got to worry about if somebody else is late, you 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.800 know what I'm saying, Or if somebody else gets sick, 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.640 or something happens with his daughter and he ain't able 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.760 to make it, or you know all of those different 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.840 types of things, or if somebody doesn't see your vision. 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.119 I used to get mad when people didn't see my vision, 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.280 but that means I'm actually closer to God. If you 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.960 can see what I see, then you not blessed. I'm 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.480 not blessed because it's general knowledge. I've always been a 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:27.960 man of vision, so I can't expect somebody else to 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.479 see it. I can't expect somebody to jump on everything 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:34.080 that I decided to do. But if in history I 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.479 consistently show motherfuckers that I know what I'm doing, then 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.240 I would think that people would have an internal fortitude 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.439 to say, it's something special about that negro. We might 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.840 need to follow him. So I just realized, you know, 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:49.000 when I'm by myself, and I think I was a 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.960 little bit different. You know, krit was a little bit different. 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.520 He Payn was a little bit different. Not only was 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.240 adult rapper, but I was also adult producer. So I 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.000 didn't have to wait on nobody. I didn't have to 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:03.840 wait on the producer if my producers start acting funny 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:06.560 even in my company. Did you engineer your own ship too? 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:10.280 For a while? Okay, while I have wanted a few 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:11.919 people that can I can go in the studio by 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.960 myself and do a whole about by myself. It may 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:17.800 not be great because I'm doing everything, but I get 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:19.360 the ship done. You know what I'm saying. 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.720 As a producer, Has there ever been a beat that 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:25.520 you gave away as a producer that you wanted to 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:26.359 keep as an artist? 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:27.440 Oh? 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:31.400 No, If I gave it away, I gave it away. 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:34.200 It was done, and I got to be honest, and 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.680 I want to say this in front of you. A 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.680 lot of beats, did I want you to? I did. 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:41.880 But there's two things I want to tell y'all about. 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:47.119 So I think to y'all as a rapper has one 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:50.239 of the best ears as a producer. No, no, as 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.680 as as an artist period, like choosing beats. Like most 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:55.880 people who can rap at the level that he can 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.760 rap and usually don't pick beats. Well, I don't care 0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.520 who you talk about a favorite rapper that usually the 0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:04.000 beat is not usually jam. That's part of the problem. 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:07.600 And so what I would do with Tip was I 0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:09.760 would go and play beats for till for him and 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:17.480 have him pick it off the beat and I didn't 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:20.919 even know it and it was funny. I just went 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.359 to him recently it was like, bro, I want you. 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.240 I want your ear on my next album. Bro, Like 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:28.840 I really want him because he has such vision and 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:32.600 so I don't know, something really special. But because I 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.480 give you an example, when we did Rubber Band, Man, 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.680 I'm a producer, I'm not a beat maker. Tip left 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:42.040 and came back with that record being the way that 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.639 it was so like the kids and all of that 0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:47.320 kind of stuff that was him. He added to it, Yeah, 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:50.720 like he didn't add to the beat but the structure over. Yeah, 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:54.359 because I produced records. I don't just do I just 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:56.120 don't give a person the beat and they run off, 0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:59.800 you know. And that actually came from Snoop. Snoop is 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.520 the person that turned me into a producer instead of 0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:06.840 a beat maker. Blessed. I was producing Snoop and I 0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:09.680 was just so happy to be producing Snoop. I didn't 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:13.200 say ship, and Snoop said, come in here, nephew. She 0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:15.680 was like, you don't. He said, tell me what to do? 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:18.720 And I say, if if I can tell you what 0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.520 to do, the rest of y'allbuckers can't tell me ship. 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.600 He got that from Drake. Tell the motherfuckers you can 0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:26.840 do this. You can do the man. Fuck that Snoop say, 0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:27.440 I'm ship. 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:30.639 But if you think about it, Snoop has kind of 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:35.320 always been produced. I mean yeah, so he probably even 0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:37.600 if you didn't want to produce for him, he probably 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:38.119 had to. 0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.720 Force you to do that, man. And so you know, 0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:44.760 from that point, bro, I just realized, like, I give 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:48.600 y'all another story, and y'all gonna trip on this. And 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:53.359 it's crazy because Beyonce just use like a pill in 0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:59.960 her tour. Man, y'all clapped for that ship take some im. 0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:02.400 It was was crazy. I was talking to my mom 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.520 on the way coming over. I was like, Mom, would 0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:07.639 you ere the thought like a pimp would have been 0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:08.360 would be doing? 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:10.240 Because you had to tell your mom what. 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:12.040 You know? 0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:14.640 She knew, she knew. I mean, regardless of what people 0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:16.800 say Facebook is they hood. You know what I'm saying. 0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:20.200 But it's like a pimp on top of us. But 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:22.160 the crazy thing is I didn't like like a pip. 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:26.640 I really didn't. I picked that beat because little Flip, 0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.879 Little Flip was like what our bartered with you you 0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:34.320 give me two beats, I give you a verse. And 0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:38.200 so I gave him the two beats and I was like, well, 0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:43.920 I sample pimp sees voice, that's Texas, Texas. I know 0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:46.240 he'll like that. I just threw them beat real quick, 0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:48.000 and I said, I'll go and change the beat later. 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.840 We made that song like twenty minutes brow In the 0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:54.560 last the last verse, we went back and forth, just 0:25:54.640 --> 0:26:00.320 like on some freestyle shit All and and broke. 0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:01.040 It was. 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.960 It was this DJ in Atlanta named DJ Will. I'll 0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:07.520 never forget this man, like, because you remember I had 0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:10.320 the little job record, might get your job bro, get you. 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:14.639 We split and DJ Will heard that record, Bro, and 0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:16.960 he was like, this is your hit record. He was like, 0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:19.639 if you use this song, flip this from your A 0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:22.480 and B side. He said, you a big star bro 0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:24.760 in the next seven months and I switched that to 0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.200 my A side, bro, and it was history from there. 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:32.840 Let me ask you a question that credibly only you 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:35.720 could ask them and one a couple of other people. 0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:39.480 But what would life be like right now? Have been alive? 0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:45.480 Music would be different, life would be different. And I 0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.240 think that's the reason why some of the things happened 0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:54.720 to some of our heroes, because because the world would 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:59.160 be different. Pop was alive, if MC were alive, it's 0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:03.320 just certain men, if Nipsey was still alive, bro, you know. 0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:09.359 And I don't know, man, it's crazy for me because 0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:14.679 Pempcy was my friend. That's what I'm asking Pemper Yeah, yeah, all. 0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:17.280 Right, So this is this This is a song called 0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:19.760 Chad right, Yeah, it's basically given give him. 0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:22.080 Yeah, this is this is this is a true story, bro. 0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:28.720 So pemp was real proud, you know, because I had 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:31.200 gotten really sick and the reason why I lost all 0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:32.840 of the weight because the doctor said, you know, with 0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:38.480 me having high blood pressure sleep apnea and uh high 0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:40.960 blood pressure sleep apnea, I think I had like high 0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:43.000 cholesterol with all of that stuff. At the same time, 0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.440 He's like, you're gonna die. So so like I got 0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:50.000 with Scott Parker and ended up losing like bro like 0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:52.000 fifty six pounds in like three months. 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:53.639 And so. 0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:57.440 Me and PEMPC had gotten really tight. Speaking of like 0:27:57.560 --> 0:27:59.520 why he was losing the weight. No, that was that 0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:02.440 was That was before when when like a Pimp came out. 0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:04.240 You know, I told you all the story last time 0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:07.080 about how I used to write him in jail and 0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:09.880 we became real tight. Pimp was gonna move to LA 0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:15.000 and so and so like it was me, Juicy J 0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:18.600 his producers like we always gonna work on Pimp album. 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:20.920 So I was in the studio out in LA and 0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:24.440 I had moved to LA and I got a call 0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:27.800 from Pimp. I started going to the studio early, so 0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:30.159 unlike most rappers when they go to the studio LA, 0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:32.159 I started going to the studio like ten in the 0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:34.560 morning so I could get out, you know, and have 0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:37.879 somewhat of a regular life. I was in the studio, 0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.680 I saw Pimp a call didn't pick up. That's just 0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.120 that's the homie now, and they like, oh, like, that's 0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:46.480 my homie. So I didn't pick up the call. When 0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:50.360 I got out the studio, I called and called in call. 0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:54.520 He didn't pick up, right. So two days later I 0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:58.320 heard he died in La Right, yeah, okay, I ended 0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:01.560 up picking up. I ended up listening to the voicemail 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.840 after I heard he had died, and he was like, Banna, 0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.240 I'm a lax, Come pick me up. Don't come pick 0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:11.080 me up. Damn. Like, Bro, imagine what that does to 0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.600 a human being, because one thing that I don't do. 0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:15.400 I'm not like one of the cats who when I 0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:18.040 get in a certain position, I don't understand who my 0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:21.880 friends are. Like, although he was my friend, that's still pimp. 0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:25.160 Be clear, you know, Snoop is still Snoop to me. 0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.680 I'm still a fan of people that I look up to. 0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.360 But Bro, like that bothered me for a very very 0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.160 long time. Man that that you know, And people would 0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:37.040 ask me my opinion about how did I think he died? 0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:38.960 And I always tell people I don't give a fuck 0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:42.840 my hommie, did you know? I don't really that really 0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:46.080 don't matter to me. Bro, you know, so it would 0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:48.440 be a lot different. Pimp didn't take no shit. I 0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:49.240 ain't gonna lie to you. 0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:53.280 Every time I've been around him, it's always been fun like. 0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:55.960 He's always been like the laughingsight, like. 0:29:57.480 --> 0:30:00.480 Man, Banna, man, don't let you niggas know you bound Pep. 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:03.440 It's so fucking funny.

And it's so crazy because rock Waller seemed 0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.040 like he was from Mississippi. Because I said, Man, I'm 0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:01.680 doing a guidbox too, and I think I want a 0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:04.560 Method on record. He did some Mississippi shit. He was like, 0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:07.360 you want Meth on the record for real? Hung off 0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:12.160 in my motherfucking face. I was like, like, bro, fifteen 0:34:12.200 --> 0:34:15.160 minutes later, h go Method number. He said, call him tomorrow. 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:20.000 So I called Method. Did the verse in the fucking day, Bro, 0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:23.799 And I asked Method. I said, Method, Man, why are 0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:25.360 you fucking with me like that? You don't know me? 0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:28.680 Method was like, man, I get on Twitter sometimes and 0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:31.520 black Twitter say protect David Ben. So we're going through 0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:36.080 that shit. And so then we gave you know, we 0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:38.120 would talk every now and then. So one day, man, 0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:42.080 I was seeing how happy he was on TV and 0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:44.439 how well he was doing. So I said, if God 0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:47.239 has blessed me to have people in my life like that, 0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:51.120 call him on some real shit. So I was just like, hey, Bro, 0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:54.520 I can't sleep dunk and met The said I went 0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:57.040 through the same shit. And he said, when I wasn't 0:34:57.040 --> 0:35:00.640 sleeping for two hours a night, nor wow and start 0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:02.680 fucking with my mind, I ain't gonna even bullishit you. 0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:05.800 And it's crazy because when I would go to the doctor, 0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:08.840 the doctor be like, Okay, yeah, yeah, you can't sleep. 0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.000 I see you in four months, motherfucker. I just told 0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:14.680 you I couldn't sleep, and you said you can't see 0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:16.879 me for another fucking for us as muns as I'm 0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:21.919 playing your blackcast shit. So Metter said, I couldn't sleep 0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:23.760 with either Banner and he said, so what I started 0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:25.879 doing is getting up going to the gym. He said, 0:35:25.920 --> 0:35:29.680 the gym in New York opening four thirty. And so Bro, 0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.080 when he told me that, Bro, I just start going 0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:36.880 to the gym every fucking day. Bro. Even if I 0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:39.000 was super depressed or whatever, I would just go sit 0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:41.800 in the fucking parking lot, but I wouldn't miss that 0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:45.279 fucking gym. There's a book called Atomic Habits, and dude 0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:48.360 said something so powerful in that motherfucking book. He said, 0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.000 even if you ain't gonna do but one pull up, 0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:53.960 do that one, because when you don't do that one, 0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:58.160 then that's when it starts with you now and ever. Right, 0:35:58.520 --> 0:36:00.279 so he said, even if you get on the tread 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:03.839 meal for two seconds, just get on the fucking tread meal, broke, 0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:07.439 and no boy shit. I started going every day. I said, 0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:09.239 I don't care how fucking sad I am. I'm gonna 0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:11.759 get in this fucking gym. And then one day, Bro, 0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:15.000 it clicked to me, Bro that I am not gonna 0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:18.480 let nobody. I don't care if it's my mother, and 0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:21.080 I love my mother more than any of you motherfuckers 0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:23.919 on this planet. But I'm not even letting my mother 0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:27.759 take my happiness away. Bro, No boy shit, if a 0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:31.080 person doesn't have a good spirit, if they not own 0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:32.160 this ship, don't even want. 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:35.160 You around me, bro, So let me ask you, do 0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:38.279 you think that by you working out you attracted these 0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:41.160 movie roles? Do you think do you think I mean 0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:43.080 I change the state of mind? Yeah, cout through that. 0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:46.440 Let me just be honest with you, brother, how one 0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:49.920 of the sexest motherfuckers. I'm just being honest with you. 0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:55.239 I mean, y'all don't have amox men and this bitch. 0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:58.200 I look. Also, did you see when we was running 0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:04.719 this morning? I started to go get reright there, but 0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:10.239 I'm like, no, I'm no, I'm seriously growing up. Like 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:11.320 no bullshit. 0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:11.480 Bro. 0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:14.080 When I tell people that I'm the sexist motherfucker alive, 0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:17.640 is not because I'm popping shit. Is because we stay 0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:18.600 in that fucking gym. 0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:18.880 Bro. 0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:21.799 But I see how you was running to day. That's 0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:25.959 four years of training. Like METHI said, Bro, I can't 0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.279 expect the motherfucker to put me on their film, but 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:30.759 I can be prepared when I walk in that fucking room. 0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:33.400 I can know my lines and look better than any 0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:35.800 of these motherfuckers on this fucking planet. And what it 0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:39.440 also does, bro, is it motivates the children, bro, to 0:37:39.600 --> 0:37:43.160 wanna be better man. So so what I decided to do, man, 0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:45.719 is not complain about the world, but work on me 0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.919 and me be better and no bullshit. Bro, you talked 0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:51.600 about it earlier. The reason why I started fucking with 0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:54.879 the ferraris and shit like that, it wasn't to pop. 0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:56.960 A lot of people do that and get in the 0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:59.000 opulence so they can show out in front of other 0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:01.880 poor people. That's not the reason why I do that. 0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:05.520 I do it because I've never done nothing for myself. Bro. 0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:07.920 Think about all the money that I made and I 0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:11.520 looked around and I didn't have shit. It's not about 0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:14.600 having any toys. But if everybody else in the world. 0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:18.200 I told somebody, I said, when I present it to 0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:23.839 the world a martyr, all black people brought me was death. 0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:29.279 When I presented to the world a fucking king, they 0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:33.880 brought me money. Jews gifts, opportunity. And I say this 0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:37.760 especially to our young ladies that's watching drink Champs. People 0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:42.319 treat you exactly how you treat yourself. If you treat 0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:45.759 yourself like shit, then other people gonna keep shitting on you. 0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.600 If you don't take shit, and all you put in 0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:53.640 your body is the best, all all you step into 0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:56.799 is the best, the best clothes, the best thing, then 0:38:56.880 --> 0:38:59.560 people are gonna treat you exactly how you treat yourself. 0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:02.400 I told the motherfucker this man. Then when they brought me, 0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:05.000 when they brought me to speak, I said, how you 0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:07.719 gonna How you're gonna offer me ten thousand dollars in 0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:12.760 my outfit is seven. I'm not borll shit. I'm serious. 0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:18.640 Look at me, Look at me, motherfucker. In order for 0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:21.520 me to come to your event, motherfucker, you're gonna at 0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:25.080 least out to double my outfit. So honestly, like bro, 0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:28.560 like I get paid the house, whether hip hop is 0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:31.440 selling or not. Bro, my lifestyle is a certain way. 0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:33.640 So don't call me if you don't have the bread. 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:38.200 You know what I'm saying, And I'm serious, man. God 0:39:38.360 --> 0:39:42.320 loves us so much that whatever you say is true. 0:39:43.160 --> 0:39:45.560 If you say you a nigga, then you a nigga. 0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:48.160 If you're a god and you act like it, you 0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:52.399 that too. God wants the best for you. Life conspires 0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:55.360 to give you exactly what you want. But well, you 0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:59.120 don't notice. We don't notice what we say to ourselves. Nigga, 0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:01.520 I'm gonna die or not. I'm gonna die tonight. I'm 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:06.520 gonna die tonight. That nigga did I'm a cast money millionaire. 0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:09.200 I'm a cash money millionaire. A cast money millionaire, you 0:40:09.320 --> 0:40:13.239 become a millionaire, they're millionaires. So I want opulence, bro, 0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:15.759 and I want peace and I want happiness. And one 0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:18.440 thing that I want to do for y'all, bro, I 0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:21.200 got I have some things that I'm doing on the 0:40:21.280 --> 0:40:24.800 technology side. And it's funny. I told Big Ticket this 0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:28.759 this morning when this shit happened for me, All y'all 0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:33.160 motherfuckers quit and we ain't that cool. I'm telling you 0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:35.000 when I do this shit that I do, all moham, 0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:38.799 y'all quit this shit we done for life, like bro, 0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:41.560 the stuff that I was so proud of myself last 0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:44.040 week and this is not on no cap shit bro, 0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:49.480 no week before last three of my phone calls were 0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:54.279 casual phone calls with billionaires. And if what they say, 0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:56.520 who you talk to and who you spend your time with, 0:40:56.640 --> 0:40:59.920 the ten major people around you are going in from 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:03.880 show life where y'all motherfuckers better get ready. Then after that's. 0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:09.000 Let me ask you something. And this is for me 0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:14.120 knowing you for twenty five years, and this is an 0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:16.240 outright question I want to know for myself. 0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:21.120 Okay, do you trust human beings. Do I trust human beings. 0:41:22.000 --> 0:41:26.640 I trust human beings to be human. I'll tell you 0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:28.759 all something, and this is serious. It's gonna shock a 0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:34.520 lot of people. One of the things that helped my 0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:39.240 depression is I don't hate anymore. I don't hate anybody 0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:44.680 on this planet anymore, other races of people who actually 0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.440 may deserve hate because of the things that they have 0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:51.280 historically done. What I realized is that there's a finite 0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:54.640 amount of energy in the universe, right, So there can't 0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:59.200 be any more energy created. Right, So if I give 0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:02.680 my energy to like thirty percent or let's say fifty 0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:05.799 percent or that to hate, and it may be justified hate, 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:13.480 then you constrict the opportunity to have opulence, love, opportunity vision, Right. 0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:20.480 So what I started understanding is that if you know 0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:23.960 people have historically been a certain way, then why you 0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:28.359 keep going around the motherfucker? That's your fault. A lot 0:42:28.400 --> 0:42:31.800 of people got mad at me when I said, I 0:42:31.920 --> 0:42:34.120 told big Boy this, this is the best time in 0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:37.839 history for black and brown people, and people say, huh, 0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:41.719 I said, because these motherfuckers have shown you exactly who 0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:43.960 they are. And if we don't take care of ourselves 0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:47.640 with done. So now is the time in history for 0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:51.799 us to create our own shit, our own movies. It's 0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:56.360 time to let the fucking plantation go. And back in 0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:58.319 the day when I used to talk my shit, y'all 0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:00.520 be honest, most motherfuckers thought I was crazy. Some of 0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:03.080 y'all in here probably thought I was crazy too, that 0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:07.000 nigga crazy. And now that all this crazy shit is 0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:09.719 having it now, people are looking for solutions for the 0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:13.000 motherfuckers who were crazy. Bro. I know the albums that 0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:15.200 we made. I know the songs that we made. We 0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:17.839 were talking about this shit ten twelve years ago, right 0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:21.520 around eating absolutely, and this shit came true. So now 0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:24.440 it's time for us to get our farms. Bro. Now 0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:26.960 it may be time for us to move to Believe 0:43:27.440 --> 0:43:30.200 to Brazil. I got back from Bob, you know what 0:43:30.239 --> 0:43:33.320 I'm saying, Like, it's time for us to stop talking, 0:43:33.440 --> 0:43:37.719 bro and start moving acting. Yeah it Simmon's threatened me 0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:39.239 if I if I go to Balley and I don't 0:43:39.280 --> 0:43:42.239 go see him like you've got to do run queen. 0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:43.640 Oh that's fucking great. 0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:48.439 Yeah, everything you're saying. I keep thinking of Banner Vision, 0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:50.880 the brand. You know what I'm gonna be honest with you. 0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:55.640 I know you for for a long long time, right, 0:43:55.880 --> 0:44:00.399 and it always seemed like you got smarter with your section, 0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:02.919 like you know what I mean, Like it always felt 0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:06.719 like but it didn't feel like at one point you 0:44:06.800 --> 0:44:10.080 didn't trust the industry, particularly the industry. And that's why 0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:14.640 I labeled a human right now, because that has to 0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:16.840 come from has to come from somewhere, right, Like. 0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:23.080 Hip hop hurt my feelings. You're the culture. 0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:25.279 Think about that all day, but please explain that to 0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:26.600 the people who can't understand him. 0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:30.040 Hip hop hurt my feelings. That's deep, that's deep. Well, 0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:32.239 most people don't know about me, bro. I was a 0:44:32.280 --> 0:44:35.160 battle rapper, Like I was a battle rapper. I was 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:39.359 a backpacker but living the life that I talked about 0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:42.640 later on, you know what I'm saying. And I had 0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:46.279 this love for hip hop and on every one of 0:44:46.360 --> 0:44:48.520 my every one of my albums, I would always and 0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:51.080 people never noticed this. I would always have a battle 0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:54.320 rap or a hip hop song or something giving homage 0:44:54.440 --> 0:44:57.040 back to like I always heard it. You know, we 0:44:57.080 --> 0:45:01.480 didn't know, you know what I'm saying. And I always 0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:04.520 lived by the rules, but hip hop really didn't give 0:45:04.560 --> 0:45:08.279 a fuck about me and really give a fuck about Mississippi? 0:45:08.280 --> 0:45:10.719 When did hip hop hurt you're feeling? And when I 0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:13.560 realized that this ship is imperialism. It's a business. 0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:18.800 Yeah, it's imperial and it ain't personal though, person it 0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:21.640 ain't personal. That's deep in itself. Hold on, hold on 0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:24.280 because that's the two point question that you just answered 0:45:24.280 --> 0:45:27.840 that to to. Because one, that's exactly what it is. 0:45:27.920 --> 0:45:32.759 It's like, Yo, this is a business. This is called 0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:34.400 hip hop business called you know. 0:45:34.560 --> 0:45:36.440 Well, there's a difference between the business side of it 0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:39.920 and the culture site. You couldn't make the distinction. There 0:45:39.960 --> 0:45:42.560 is a distinction, Okay, I want to the monetizing of 0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:43.040 the music. 0:45:43.080 --> 0:45:44.759 I want to think that Kobe and us entered this 0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:47.840 for the love at first, but once we realized if 0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:50.560 it's business, we didn't want to get jokes better just 0:45:50.760 --> 0:45:52.319 being to make money out of what you look then, 0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:54.239 like he said, that's the other part of that, it's 0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:55.000 not personal. 0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:57.680 But the problem is is that I think what happened 0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:00.919 to hip hop in general or anything when it comes 0:46:00.960 --> 0:46:03.120 to people a culture, we do it by feelings because 0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:07.120 we're spiritual people. We never laid down the rules like 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:09.680 I give you a great example, everybody want to talk 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.560 about who's the goat? Who's the goat? How can you 0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:15.279 have a fucking goat when ain't no rules. If we're 0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:18.640 gonna say somebody is the go to basketball, then let's 0:46:18.680 --> 0:46:21.080 sit down at a table and say, Okay, how many 0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:24.000 championships you have to have? How much influence do you 0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:26.719 have on the culture, all of these different things. We 0:46:26.880 --> 0:46:29.640 have to have some rules because because if not, then 0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:32.480 it's emotional. And if it's emotional, then you could be 0:46:32.560 --> 0:46:37.040 constipated more generational or generation because if you notice when 0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:40.080 people talk about their ghats, they're really emotional about who 0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:42.919 they like when they were growing up. I stopped that shit. 0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:46.080 You know, my son, I can't speak about Lebron at all, 0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:48.680 like he takes a super personal like and I'm just like, 0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:50.319 I just I don't do it no more. 0:46:50.560 --> 0:46:55.200 And then for a person to not really talk about 0:46:55.280 --> 0:46:57.880 some of our greats who got ten rings, you know, 0:46:58.000 --> 0:47:01.120 eight nine, ten rings, you know, and you know, for 0:47:01.320 --> 0:47:04.279 us to to to talk about the goats and hip 0:47:04.280 --> 0:47:09.680 hop and nobody say rock him, no, no, oh, nobody 0:47:10.080 --> 0:47:15.319 nobody says scarface, like are you serious? Face? Come on, dude, 0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:18.719 you know, so I think part of the problem is 0:47:18.960 --> 0:47:22.040 is we have allowed other people, through their money, to 0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:25.040 have a say so on hip hop. You know one 0:47:25.080 --> 0:47:28.719 thing that I just finished speaking the AD week, and 0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:31.200 what I told them is I wish hip hop was 0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:33.680 the way that it used to be. Is you give 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:36.600 me your fucking money, you shit the fuck down, I'm 0:47:36.640 --> 0:47:38.520 gonna make you a profit. Let me do what the 0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:41.560 fuck I do. We have We have allowed white people 0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:44.560 to become too comfortable in our culture. And this is 0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:46.480 something I mean, I guess that's the reason why y'all 0:47:46.520 --> 0:47:50.000 call it drinks. Because I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna 0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:51.600 say something that's really really One of the reasons why 0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:56.200 I stopped producing is because there was a young white 0:47:56.280 --> 0:48:01.400 A and R at one of these and I had 0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:04.239 already produced two number one hits for this label, right, 0:48:05.040 --> 0:48:09.800 and this white boy felt comfortable to comment about Southern 0:48:11.239 --> 0:48:14.719 rap music to me. Now, I probably would have took 0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:19.080 his notes on R and B. Maybe maybe, hey, community, 0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:22.200 maybe maybe his motherfucker felt called your day that you 0:48:22.320 --> 0:48:25.600 need to motherfucker, you better shut your motherfucking mouth and 0:48:25.760 --> 0:48:28.640 take these fucking credits. You don't know nothing about the shit, 0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:31.640 because because I may not have created. But I have 0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:34.680 something to do with this shit, you know what I'm saying. 0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:39.360 And the motherfucker's feeling titled. And it's because we allow 0:48:39.480 --> 0:48:42.839 people and you got too many negroes who will take 0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:46.200 the check and allow their black or brown skin to 0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:50.920 be used to use to manipulate other black and brown people. 0:48:51.000 --> 0:48:55.200 And I think that shit is white dog. People use culture, 0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:59.239 People use culture when it's most convenient to them, and 0:48:59.320 --> 0:49:00.520 I don't like that ship though. 0:49:01.000 --> 0:49:03.680 Yeah, I want to do quick Time, Stan, let's do 0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:05.839 it cool. You want to play no game? 0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:13.000 Oh yeah, you never played QuickTime? I saw this.

And I'm 0:50:37.719 --> 0:50:43.800 being very honest with you, Bro. I don't like the 0:50:43.920 --> 0:50:47.960 fans stuff a lot. But I really found that I 0:50:48.200 --> 0:50:53.840 missed how brilliant, brilliant Biggie was because of pop. Like 0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:57.920 I was such a fucking Tupac fan that I listened 0:50:57.920 --> 0:51:01.080 to Biggie, but I didn't absorb b because I was 0:51:01.360 --> 0:51:05.680 such a fucking pop fan, bro, And I didn't know 0:51:06.080 --> 0:51:08.160 either one of them. You know what I'm saying. And 0:51:09.560 --> 0:51:12.680 I tell I tell both, I tell everybody this man. Usually, 0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:15.000 and I'm not saying this is the case. Usually the 0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:19.480 person that you like musically usually be the asshole usually, 0:51:20.360 --> 0:51:24.839 you know, and we get connected and America is doing 0:51:24.920 --> 0:51:27.799 this now. Bro, I'm watching which this trump shit. Bro, 0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:30.359 just because you like somebody or you like their music, 0:51:30.440 --> 0:51:32.799 don't mean that they right and the stuff that they 0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:34.520 do is right. We got to get back to what 0:51:34.600 --> 0:51:38.120 our grandmother's taught us. Like if you're wrong, motherfucker. I 0:51:38.160 --> 0:51:41.239 don't care that your beats Jammy back in the day.

I think 0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:09.360 Tupac transcended hip hop and not many people can say that. 0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:12.399 I think he had a bigger calling on his life. 0:52:12.719 --> 0:52:15.280 And he wasn't a perfect man, none of us are perfect, 0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:18.000 but I think the calling on his spirit was so big, 0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:21.440 and that's you know, we talked about him c you know, 0:52:21.520 --> 0:52:23.759 imagine that Park was still a love a lot of 0:52:23.800 --> 0:52:27.360 these rappers wouldn't be rappy crazy you know, so you 0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:36.840 picked it's easy picked big quit or currency crit I 0:52:36.920 --> 0:52:39.200 think Create is one of the dopest artists ever walked 0:52:39.280 --> 0:52:42.000 this planet.

Bro, 0:57:18.960 --> 0:57:22.240 If they showed love, it was still because think about it, bro, 0:57:22.360 --> 0:57:25.400 we don't even put our heroes in songs, but we 0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:28.600 would always go and get Slick Rick. We will always 0:57:28.640 --> 0:57:32.320 go get KRS one. We will always find the New 0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:34.840 York motherfuckers that we had. We won't even bro, I'm 0:57:34.880 --> 0:57:36.760 telling you, bro, we won't even put our own We 0:57:36.800 --> 0:57:39.360 don't put tea love, we don't put a ball, like, 0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:42.360 why don't we put our own heroes the same way 0:57:42.400 --> 0:57:45.880 that we respect and revere other people. Bro. So for 0:57:46.040 --> 0:57:49.400 me like it would be a discredit to my people 0:57:49.480 --> 0:57:50.960 in the South, and for me to be in the 0:57:51.000 --> 0:57:52.880 forefront like you said that I am. For me to 0:57:52.960 --> 0:57:56.560 say anybody but the people that changed my fucking life, 0:57:56.600 --> 0:57:59.600 homie to the day that I die. Bro Dungeon family 0:57:59.720 --> 0:58:02.360 changed my life, Bro, and I ride for them niggas 0:58:02.400 --> 0:58:04.960 if they like me or not, Bro, because they changed 0:58:05.000 --> 0:58:08.360 the South. They changed and and them niggas was so 0:58:08.600 --> 0:58:11.400 hip hop. I'll give you a great example. Watch someone 0:58:11.480 --> 0:58:13.520 talking to my shit. You know this as a DJ. 0:58:14.840 --> 0:58:17.360 They may not want me to tell this, but you 0:58:17.360 --> 0:58:22.920 remember the remix uh, the outcast remix of Southern player Listic. 0:58:23.240 --> 0:58:26.760 I was already right. So that's the same sample from 0:58:26.840 --> 0:58:28.920 Mad Props. Because people don't know that I was a 0:58:28.960 --> 0:58:32.040 battle rapper. I'm a hip hop head from the youngsters. 0:58:32.440 --> 0:58:37.920 But they just took and put a piano over it, 0:58:38.120 --> 0:58:42.640 dumm dumn and with me because I'm a producer, I 0:58:42.720 --> 0:58:48.439 could hear the sample and the phantom noise from the headphones. 0:58:48.480 --> 0:58:51.720 I was like the motherfucker's and geniuses they took. They 0:58:51.800 --> 0:58:54.280 took fucking hip hop and put mud on it, bro, 0:58:55.160 --> 0:58:56.760 and I'll tell you something. I gotta give a big 0:58:56.760 --> 0:58:59.880 shout out. The Big Daddy came. I played the godbox 0:59:00.040 --> 0:59:03.000 too for Big Daddy came, because I didn't know whether 0:59:03.000 --> 0:59:05.320 I wanted to put it out or not. And Big 0:59:05.400 --> 0:59:08.000 Daddy came called me back and said, David Banner, this 0:59:08.200 --> 0:59:11.320 is Southern hip hop. It's not people from the South 0:59:11.520 --> 0:59:14.160 trying to sound like they're from New York. He said, Bro, 0:59:14.280 --> 0:59:16.440 this is what southern hip hop is supposed to sound like. 0:59:16.720 --> 0:59:20.000 Because I remember telling cars one one time, Bro, I 0:59:20.120 --> 0:59:24.040 said that I really do got a Cadillac on twenty 0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:29.560 two's my homeboys did really sell dope. So my hip hop, 0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:32.600 if hip hop is really truly a life experience, it's 0:59:32.680 --> 0:59:34.840 just what you live in life, and our lifestyles are 0:59:34.880 --> 0:59:35.400 not the same. 0:59:37.440 --> 0:59:42.240 Kodak Black or twenty one Savage twenty one Savage Ghetto 0:59:42.320 --> 0:59:45.080 Boys are UGK never answered that question. 0:59:45.360 --> 0:59:49.560 We drinking drinking.

Come on, Okay, I guess 1:01:30.720 --> 1:01:31.480 come on, let's. 1:01:31.280 --> 1:01:40.560 Go Yeah, cast some water, Yeah, O d B or 1:01:40.600 --> 1:01:44.440 biz MARKI, I love this one, resting piece of. 1:01:44.440 --> 1:01:50.680 Both biz MARKI, okay, Okay. Michael Jackson or Prince Prince 1:01:52.440 --> 1:01:54.440 you got to meet, want to talk about that? I 1:01:54.480 --> 1:01:55.160 want to talk about that. 1:01:55.840 --> 1:01:57.360 I feel like we did we ever talk about it? 1:01:58.360 --> 1:02:01.040 All right? So, so so this is my thing about 1:02:01.080 --> 1:02:09.680 that for entertainment purposes, it's Michael Jackson all that for 1:02:09.840 --> 1:02:15.120 singles radio. But Prince, hands down is one of the 1:02:15.160 --> 1:02:18.520 most talented motherfuckers who have ever walked this planet. Everything. 1:02:18.680 --> 1:02:21.040 He played everything, and he was the youngest artist even 1:02:21.080 --> 1:02:24.920 when he was a teenager. He played every instrument on 1:02:25.080 --> 1:02:28.720 his record. He produced hisself. He's a fucking Jens advocated 1:02:28.760 --> 1:02:33.080 for ownership exactly, and he didn't need nobody else in 1:02:33.120 --> 1:02:37.760 the room but just him. You know, it's funny because 1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:43.760 all of my favorite artists are actually related. Prince's favorite 1:02:43.840 --> 1:02:49.840 artist is Curtis Mayfield. Andre three thousand favorite artists was Prince, 1:02:50.880 --> 1:02:52.760 So it's like all three of them. It was a 1:02:52.880 --> 1:02:56.720 line of the people who I've always yeah yeah, yeah, 1:02:57.640 --> 1:03:05.000 yeah so. But Prince, from an artist's perspective, just straight 1:03:05.080 --> 1:03:08.480 up getting in the studio by yourself. Nobody else is there. 1:03:08.520 --> 1:03:11.120 That's why I have such a deep respect for big 1:03:11.240 --> 1:03:14.040 crit I have such a deep respect for teeth haining, 1:03:14.440 --> 1:03:16.960 the people who are never really really talked about myself, 1:03:17.640 --> 1:03:20.240 who don't really need anybody because nory, I tell you 1:03:20.320 --> 1:03:22.880 something that I thought about, Bro, my career would have 1:03:22.960 --> 1:03:27.880 been so much bigger if I would have had like 1:03:28.040 --> 1:03:30.520 a and RS that I could listen to, that could 1:03:30.560 --> 1:03:33.680 really bring me beats because, like, think about it, all 1:03:33.720 --> 1:03:35.960 of my hits really came from some shit that I did. 1:03:37.080 --> 1:03:40.240 You know what I'm saying. That's the hardest fuck to do, bro, 1:03:41.040 --> 1:03:44.200 on that level all the time, because all vibing is 1:03:44.360 --> 1:03:47.760 is lining up with God. To even say, think about 1:03:47.800 --> 1:03:50.480 the Bible and how many people who are actually in 1:03:50.600 --> 1:03:54.000 the presence of God. When we say we vibing, that's 1:03:54.080 --> 1:03:56.720 when we zoning out and you actually in the presence 1:03:56.760 --> 1:03:59.240 of the most High. So even if you did that 1:03:59.400 --> 1:04:01.760 one time, think about it, like a pip could have 1:04:01.800 --> 1:04:04.320 been the only time that I ever was close to God. 1:04:05.440 --> 1:04:10.920 But I've done that. That's shit hard, bro. 1:04:11.920 --> 1:04:15.240 Like a man's gotta feel good, they gotta feel better 1:04:15.320 --> 1:04:18.280 than someone else producing, and you did everything yourself. 1:04:18.640 --> 1:04:21.440 I'd rather I don't give a fuck whether it's somebody 1:04:21.520 --> 1:04:24.400 else write it, produce it. That hip hop shit, I'm 1:04:24.440 --> 1:04:28.040 telling you, Bro, Bro, we get so into that. I 1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:30.000 used to be into that shit, bro. But the real 1:04:30.120 --> 1:04:34.320 truth is, Bro, you got to get the record. I'll 1:04:34.440 --> 1:04:38.479 cry in my Lamborghini later on, you know what I'm saying. 1:04:38.560 --> 1:04:41.040 When I had that hit record, But like, Bro, you 1:04:41.120 --> 1:04:44.880 put yourself through so much emotionally, and you got to 1:04:44.920 --> 1:04:47.480 think our bodies that we don't These are the conversations 1:04:47.520 --> 1:04:51.680 we don't dive into. Bro. Our bodies are changing. Life 1:04:51.800 --> 1:04:55.080 is changing. You know. The time that we decide to 1:04:55.160 --> 1:04:56.920 do the album may not be the time that God 1:04:57.040 --> 1:04:59.919 wants us to do it, and so sometimes we for shit, 1:05:00.040 --> 1:05:05.080 that's just not there, y'all. When I'm happy and I'm healthy, 1:05:05.480 --> 1:05:07.360 I don't think it's too many motherfuckers on this planet 1:05:07.400 --> 1:05:09.680 that can fuck with me. But it's so hard to 1:05:09.760 --> 1:05:12.080 get in them spaces, in them places. Who next you 1:05:12.200 --> 1:05:17.040 gotta be on that frequency? Yeah? Analog or digital? Analogue? 1:05:17.640 --> 1:05:18.720 I'm glad you said that. 1:05:19.240 --> 1:05:23.720 E P. M. D or Gangstar.

And then when Rock him starts going into 1:08:33.560 --> 1:08:37.000 these certain records that I didn't know. I looked at 1:08:37.120 --> 1:08:42.080 Nas and Nas knew every word word for word. Yeah, 1:08:42.280 --> 1:08:45.280 he knew every word, and it made me say that 1:08:46.120 --> 1:08:51.200 like it was like the karate can't watch and I 1:08:51.280 --> 1:08:52.600 saw that, I guess, So I got to see that 1:08:52.720 --> 1:08:56.400 David Man like, like, first off, rock Kim and Eric 1:08:56.439 --> 1:08:58.160 b be great of getting together. 1:08:58.320 --> 1:08:59.960 No, no, that was amazing. 1:09:00.120 --> 1:09:04.760 But to see the other person that took over that 1:09:05.640 --> 1:09:10.320 lane and to see that he's still a fan, it 1:09:10.479 --> 1:09:12.639 was like so amazing to me. I love that shit 1:09:12.720 --> 1:09:13.200 so want to. 1:09:13.200 --> 1:09:19.080 Say something else. Throw some DS on That Bitch by 1:09:19.240 --> 1:09:24.040 Rich Boy. I think is my favorite most complete song. 1:09:24.960 --> 1:09:31.920 It used to be Luccini. Yeah, it just made me 1:09:32.080 --> 1:09:35.439 feel a certain kind of way. But I don't think 1:09:35.479 --> 1:09:39.120 we give our flowers to to to places and people 1:09:39.240 --> 1:09:42.960 who don't have the light from other people. Bro, that 1:09:43.240 --> 1:09:46.880 song has stood to test the time. You see Kendrick 1:09:46.960 --> 1:09:51.760 rapping over it right now. He's talking slick dope ship, 1:09:52.840 --> 1:09:55.840 a dope ass hug polo on the beat, and that 1:09:56.000 --> 1:10:01.080 bitch feels so good.

It came crazy. 1:10:15.760 --> 1:10:19.280 That leads me to the next one. Kendrick or Drake Kendrick, 1:10:20.960 --> 1:10:23.680 you look like a Kendrick type of nigga, look like 1:10:23.760 --> 1:10:26.560 I ain't even man, you gonna lie, Like if I 1:10:26.680 --> 1:10:29.720 if I I guess what was in your playlist, I'll 1:10:29.720 --> 1:10:32.400 be like, Kendrick, what I would say that in a 1:10:32.439 --> 1:10:33.320 good way, That's what I. 1:10:33.320 --> 1:10:35.200 Would say though. What I will say though, is that 1:10:35.840 --> 1:10:41.439 Drake won my respect. You know, as far as music 1:10:41.680 --> 1:10:45.880 and putting hit rappers together. You gotta get that boy, 1:10:46.080 --> 1:10:49.120 it's fucking you. Got to give him his credit, like 1:10:49.760 --> 1:10:54.400 from being able to market itself and create at the 1:10:54.520 --> 1:10:56.360 level consistently as he did. 1:10:56.520 --> 1:10:56.600 Bro. 1:10:56.840 --> 1:11:00.720 And I'm a rapper, rapper, and I was like, Nah, 1:11:00.800 --> 1:11:03.040 that shit, dope, that motherfucker raped. 1:11:03.640 --> 1:11:04.120 He's sing. 1:11:05.120 --> 1:11:08.519 He the complete package. You can't you can't deny that. 1:11:10.160 --> 1:11:15.320 It's just for me. What tips the scale for Kendrick 1:11:15.479 --> 1:11:20.479 to me is it's activism. And that's what tip the 1:11:20.520 --> 1:11:23.280 scales for me with pop. Right, If you can rap 1:11:23.400 --> 1:11:27.439 all that shit, cool, but kids dying, bro, Like we 1:11:27.520 --> 1:11:30.959 can talk all this party shit, that's cool. But racism 1:11:31.080 --> 1:11:35.320 is real. Colonialism is real. Motherfuckers is hurting, you know. 1:11:35.640 --> 1:11:39.839 And so for him to put thought into his music 1:11:40.040 --> 1:11:43.719 and for that to be something different and something deeper, 1:11:43.800 --> 1:11:48.960 bro like purpose, purpose, I have to give it to him. 1:11:49.040 --> 1:11:53.160 And what's crazy is artists like him as popular as 1:11:53.760 --> 1:11:56.760 he may be, the world really don't shed the light 1:11:56.880 --> 1:12:00.200 on him that he deserves. Think how big that song was, Bro, 1:12:00.560 --> 1:12:03.760 you should see him everywhere on everything the same way 1:12:03.800 --> 1:12:06.960 you heard it in the car marketing in America. Ship 1:12:07.080 --> 1:12:09.479 reflect that, but it doesn't for a reason. Even the 1:12:09.520 --> 1:12:10.440 tour is successful. 1:12:10.439 --> 1:12:12.160 It is right now, you're not really hearing about the 1:12:12.280 --> 1:12:15.439 tour for him a Dominican version of the Dominican people 1:12:15.479 --> 1:12:16.720 were saying the wrong version. 1:12:16.760 --> 1:12:17.439 Of what there was. 1:12:19.360 --> 1:12:25.800 They staying, what you said, that's hilarious.

I never looked back, kept jogging, but 1:23:32.920 --> 1:23:36.479 LA showed me like I didn't know the type of 1:23:36.520 --> 1:23:40.120 motherfuckers I was around in LA until I left LA, 1:23:41.040 --> 1:23:45.880 and them dudes looked after me. Them dudes showed me 1:23:46.000 --> 1:23:48.519 a certain amount of grace and love that they don't 1:23:48.560 --> 1:23:52.040 show most black men. And I don't know whether it 1:23:52.160 --> 1:23:54.720 was because of what I stand for. I know that 1:23:54.840 --> 1:23:56.760 it had something to do with God, and that was 1:23:56.760 --> 1:23:59.000 the reason why I say, sometimes God blesses you with 1:23:59.120 --> 1:24:02.120 protection instead of all the things that you think you 1:24:02.240 --> 1:24:06.080 need and you want. Bro Man, LA loved on me 1:24:06.400 --> 1:24:09.200 so fucking much. One of the biggest mistakes that I 1:24:09.240 --> 1:24:11.559 ever made in my career is I didn't know how 1:24:11.640 --> 1:24:15.519 much love I had in the Mexican community. As a 1:24:15.560 --> 1:24:19.599 matter of fact, we had this conversation today. I never 1:24:19.680 --> 1:24:23.439 wanted tattoos in my life. But mister Cartoon did all 1:24:23.520 --> 1:24:26.639 of my tattoos, and it was for a spiritual reason, 1:24:27.439 --> 1:24:30.200 you know. And I didn't even know about the funds. 1:24:30.320 --> 1:24:32.880 I didn't even know what he had tattooed on my back, 1:24:33.400 --> 1:24:35.439 you know what I'm saying. With Gotty and all of them, 1:24:35.560 --> 1:24:41.320 Goby took me over there, and that's a certain amount 1:24:41.360 --> 1:24:43.479 of there's a certain amount of culture that's on my 1:24:43.600 --> 1:24:47.320 back that's way bigger than what I knew. I didn't 1:24:47.320 --> 1:24:50.160 even know the responsibility that he put on my back. 1:24:50.840 --> 1:24:54.240 And so La has a place in my heart. Bro 1:24:55.120 --> 1:24:57.120 The Bay Area has a place in my heart. When 1:24:57.160 --> 1:25:01.240 my career went down. You know a lot of people 1:25:01.400 --> 1:25:05.160 like to think it was the South, but you know, 1:25:05.479 --> 1:25:08.320 the Bay Area put me back on when stuff got 1:25:08.520 --> 1:25:13.040 like play got broke in the Bay besides Jackson like 1:25:13.160 --> 1:25:17.160 me break a lot of records, broke that record like like, 1:25:17.320 --> 1:25:19.920 I'm just being honest with you, you know. And so 1:25:21.400 --> 1:25:25.320 my love for the West Coast and what they did 1:25:25.439 --> 1:25:29.120 for me and we got our independent hustle from them, 1:25:30.920 --> 1:25:32.600 you know what I'm saying. Motherfucker's talking all this with 1:25:32.720 --> 1:25:34.760 everybody smoking weed and all that kind of shit. But 1:25:34.880 --> 1:25:40.680 they made that shit popular. And so for me, what 1:25:40.800 --> 1:25:44.320 I went through in La, my transformation is acting shit. 1:25:44.439 --> 1:25:44.559 Bro. 1:25:45.240 --> 1:25:48.200 That shit was all in LA, and I love LA 1:25:48.280 --> 1:25:49.479 and I appreciate LA. 1:25:49.640 --> 1:25:51.000 I don't know if you remember I checked you when 1:25:51.000 --> 1:25:53.160 you were in the studio in LA. I was visiting 1:25:53.280 --> 1:25:54.760 my family out there and then I hit you and 1:25:54.840 --> 1:25:56.080 you was like, yo, come through.

This guy popped off Tang Clan, 1:29:37.640 --> 1:29:39.760 but he's in a transition to sr C. Was an 1:29:39.760 --> 1:29:40.880 experiment and that. 1:29:40.960 --> 1:29:44.760 Was the big budget you remember, Bro, Tommy Boy at 1:29:44.800 --> 1:29:49.240 that time had just about everybody that ended up popping.

But he started his own independent s r C. 1:30:56.479 --> 1:30:59.280 I believe that stand for Steve Rifkin Company, which is 1:30:59.320 --> 1:31:01.840 what he had before. For I think, Lord, actually, where 1:31:01.960 --> 1:31:03.880 where are you? Where are you staying with this? How 1:31:03.880 --> 1:31:05.800 does this?

I 1:31:23.840 --> 1:31:28.120 had eight hundred spins on the radio with like a pimp, 1:31:29.160 --> 1:31:32.160 and most of the people on Universal didn't have eight 1:31:32.240 --> 1:31:35.640 hundred spins. And I was sleeping in the van. I 1:31:35.720 --> 1:31:38.400 was literally homeless. I built the studio in my own van, 1:31:38.840 --> 1:31:41.400 like I went to Walmart and got a converter and 1:31:41.560 --> 1:31:45.080 literally like built since since people didn't want to go 1:31:45.200 --> 1:31:47.200 with me, I built. If you listen to Mississippi the 1:31:47.240 --> 1:31:50.679 album the ter Lose, you can hit a wind because 1:31:50.800 --> 1:31:53.479 literally I had a mic, literally a mic in between 1:31:53.560 --> 1:31:56.360 my legs, steering wheel here and I was driving. 1:31:56.479 --> 1:31:59.400 I had driving and spinning on the market. 1:31:59.479 --> 1:32:04.080 No, yeah, I was.

The 1:32:26.880 --> 1:32:30.960 reason why I went with Steve Rifkins was because that 1:32:31.120 --> 1:32:34.599 white boy got some gumptionh Bro. I went out to La. 1:32:36.120 --> 1:32:41.120 Everybody was coming at me, Bro, and Steve Rifkins said, Bro, 1:32:41.320 --> 1:32:43.880 I'm not letting you out this door. I never saw 1:32:44.000 --> 1:32:46.120 no white boy that like. He literally got in front 1:32:46.120 --> 1:32:48.559 of the door and said, you're not going home till 1:32:48.560 --> 1:32:51.320 we finished talking. And I'm like, what fuck.

I 1:35:00.439 --> 1:35:02.560 don't know if that's in their spirit to do, but 1:35:02.680 --> 1:35:05.040 that's all I ever wanted from Steve. Like, Bro, like 1:35:06.120 --> 1:35:08.600 we did some ship that didn't nobody do, and we 1:35:08.760 --> 1:35:12.360 came from the bottom, homye, Like, just you know, we 1:35:12.479 --> 1:35:16.040 didn't we didn't have Wu Tang's success. But without the 1:35:16.160 --> 1:35:17.840 David Banner you would have never got to the a. 1:35:18.560 --> 1:35:22.439 You guys ushered a whole Yeah, yeah, you know, but 1:35:22.800 --> 1:35:23.240 but but the. 1:35:23.320 --> 1:35:27.160 Thing is, Bro, is if Steve means the world to me, 1:35:27.320 --> 1:35:30.839 Steve came to Mississippi, he Steve got in the trenches. 1:35:32.000 --> 1:35:36.040 Steve did some ship that a lot of motherfuckers that 1:35:36.160 --> 1:35:40.120 looked just like me wouldn't. Dude, Like, if if there 1:35:40.200 --> 1:35:41.960 was a if there was a white boy in the 1:35:42.080 --> 1:35:44.120 industry that I would fuck with to this day, it 1:35:44.120 --> 1:35:46.719 would be Steve Riskin, you know what I'm saying. 1:35:48.240 --> 1:35:50.400 And I think to give credit to other people in 1:35:50.479 --> 1:35:53.120 that in that era, to shout out to TJ and 1:35:53.200 --> 1:35:56.400 TJ's DJs that was very instrumental in that era of 1:35:56.640 --> 1:35:57.920 helping break a lot of artists. 1:35:57.960 --> 1:36:00.640 Man from out here. Hold on, I want to give 1:36:00.640 --> 1:36:07.400 a shout out to somebody. I never knew this, and well, yeah, 1:36:07.479 --> 1:36:13.759 I never knew this. Dante Ross actually was the person 1:36:14.000 --> 1:36:21.000 that brought me to Steve's attention, and Dante Ross was hot, 1:36:21.280 --> 1:36:22.760 and I was like, Bro, I never knew that. You 1:36:22.920 --> 1:36:25.680 told I was, I didn't know, And so I'd like 1:36:25.760 --> 1:36:27.439 to shout him out because I heard he was the 1:36:27.520 --> 1:36:29.800 one that you know, and he didn't get anything from 1:36:29.840 --> 1:36:32.519 the situation. You might had nothing to do with me, 1:36:32.600 --> 1:36:34.519 but I heard that years later. So shout out to 1:36:34.560 --> 1:36:36.240 Dante Ross. I thank you, bro, And. 1:36:36.280 --> 1:36:37.839 Eventually you went to Atlantic Records. 1:36:37.880 --> 1:36:42.200 Correct, No, I just produced Thug Holiday and Rubber Band 1:36:42.280 --> 1:36:43.720 Man and all that I never went and I was 1:36:43.800 --> 1:36:46.400 to Steve Ricketts. So I'll tell you a secret that 1:36:46.479 --> 1:36:53.599 people don't know. I was independent fifteen years before people 1:36:53.680 --> 1:36:56.240 ever knew I was independent. And one of the reasons 1:36:56.280 --> 1:36:58.479 why I do have respect for Steve is I went 1:36:58.520 --> 1:37:01.519 to Steve one day and told Steve Eve, like, bro, 1:37:01.600 --> 1:37:04.240 I want to be you. I can't be you signing you. 1:37:05.120 --> 1:37:07.080 He said, are you sure David Ben I said yeah. 1:37:07.520 --> 1:37:10.760 He let me go back the next day. And so 1:37:10.960 --> 1:37:14.920 what I did was was when I remember one time 1:37:14.960 --> 1:37:18.519 I had four videos on MTV. A lot of people 1:37:18.600 --> 1:37:24.200 didn't notice, but I hired my own radio promoters, I 1:37:24.280 --> 1:37:29.679 hired my own video promoters, and I just never told 1:37:29.720 --> 1:37:32.920 people that I was independent. I just kept putting Universal 1:37:34.200 --> 1:37:37.160 on the sheet and they kept and I kept getting 1:37:37.560 --> 1:37:39.400 for like ten years. Bro, I was getting all of 1:37:39.439 --> 1:37:41.519 this fun, all these fucking accolades, and nobody ever knew 1:37:41.520 --> 1:37:45.560 I was independent fifteen years before people ever knew. And 1:37:45.960 --> 1:37:48.120 Universal wasn't tripping because they were getting the props for 1:37:48.240 --> 1:37:50.720 David Back was signing other artists because they were like, 1:37:50.760 --> 1:37:53.200 well yeah, And so I kept putting that on the 1:37:53.280 --> 1:38:02.280 call sheeting and people kept, yeah, that's fine, that's what man. 1:38:02.760 --> 1:38:08.160 I asked you this earlier. If you had to pick 1:38:08.280 --> 1:38:17.240 one profession from the beginning, acting, producing or being an 1:38:17.320 --> 1:38:19.840 artist from what you know now. If you can start 1:38:19.880 --> 1:38:23.320 from the beginning with all the information that you know now, 1:38:24.840 --> 1:38:27.400 and and and God says you're going to pick one, 1:38:28.400 --> 1:38:29.120 what would you pick. 1:38:29.439 --> 1:38:32.639 Let's take a drink, because God didn't say that that's 1:38:32.960 --> 1:38:37.960 the Let me tell you all this. It used to 1:38:38.000 --> 1:38:39.640 be a curse to me that I could do so 1:38:39.760 --> 1:38:42.880 much stuff because think about this, be honest, when I 1:38:42.960 --> 1:38:46.000 was close to being one of the top Southern rappers, right, 1:38:46.760 --> 1:38:50.040 I'll go and produce. When I started moving to that 1:38:50.760 --> 1:38:54.040 Timberlin in for real level of getting close to the 1:38:54.080 --> 1:38:57.280 Little John level, and I would go off and do activism, 1:38:57.720 --> 1:39:03.479 and I would go off and do speaking. Then the 1:39:03.600 --> 1:39:07.320 pandemic happened, and you got to think what rappers went through. 1:39:07.880 --> 1:39:10.240 I didn't have to go through that because I could 1:39:10.240 --> 1:39:13.040 go speak, I could go do movies, so like, I 1:39:13.240 --> 1:39:15.640 never really had to be into what other rappers been 1:39:16.080 --> 1:39:18.960 had to been to because I was getting money from 1:39:19.000 --> 1:39:22.920 so many different places. But the problem was I never 1:39:23.040 --> 1:39:26.280 became a I never became respected as a genius on 1:39:26.439 --> 1:39:28.880 any level, because every time I would get close to 1:39:28.960 --> 1:39:30.679 the top, I would shift something else. 1:39:31.040 --> 1:39:31.160 Right. 1:39:32.120 --> 1:39:38.040 So now I just talked to AD Week this week 1:39:38.160 --> 1:39:39.840 in Miami, and that was one of the things that 1:39:39.920 --> 1:39:44.240 I talked about, is like when it comes to corporations 1:39:44.280 --> 1:39:45.880 and when I do the things that I do because 1:39:45.880 --> 1:39:46.840 a lot of people don't even know. 1:39:46.880 --> 1:39:47.120 This, Bro. 1:39:47.400 --> 1:39:50.920 I produced the second biggest Gatorade commercial in history ever, Bro, 1:39:52.240 --> 1:39:54.280 And it was funny. This really happened in real life. 1:39:54.360 --> 1:39:56.920 Jimmy Smith, who was working at Shia Day at the time, 1:39:59.320 --> 1:40:02.320 the heads of Pepsicle was in the room. He walked 1:40:02.320 --> 1:40:04.800 in and say, this little motherfucker know what he doing, 1:40:05.760 --> 1:40:07.680 y'all leave him alone and let him do what he 1:40:07.880 --> 1:40:10.880 do best. He know what he's doing. David better, let's go. 1:40:11.360 --> 1:40:14.959 He's all these big billionaire motherfuckers. We walked right outside 1:40:15.040 --> 1:40:17.840 the room. The motherfucker looked at me and said, you 1:40:17.960 --> 1:40:21.599 better know what you're doing. And I never have produced 1:40:21.640 --> 1:40:24.080 a commercial in my fucking life. And it ended up 1:40:24.160 --> 1:40:27.320 my first commercial was the second biggest commercial ever in history. Bro. 1:40:27.800 --> 1:40:31.160 So what I tell you is that, Bro, like, instead 1:40:31.200 --> 1:40:33.000 of saying which one would I pick? I think that 1:40:33.040 --> 1:40:37.160 would be spitting in God's face. Be thankful to God 1:40:37.280 --> 1:40:39.479 that I can do it at such a high level. 1:40:40.120 --> 1:40:42.840 One thing that people don't know is when I shot 1:40:45.640 --> 1:40:50.400 when I shot Family Business New Orleans, and I was 1:40:50.439 --> 1:40:54.439 shooting Family Business New Orleans and Fight Night at the 1:40:54.479 --> 1:40:57.400 same exact time. Bro, I was shooting two major TV 1:40:57.520 --> 1:41:00.559 shows at the same time, coming out of my pression. Bro, 1:41:01.439 --> 1:41:03.920 people don't talk about that ship. Some motherfuckers can't do 1:41:04.080 --> 1:41:07.920 well with one show. I was shooting two shows, Bro, 1:41:09.040 --> 1:41:11.920 working on Jill Scott's album. You know what I'm saying, 1:41:12.120 --> 1:41:18.600 fucking speaking at the same time, doing tacos and tequila tour. Bro, Like, 1:41:18.760 --> 1:41:21.280 that shit ain't human. And that's the one thing that 1:41:21.360 --> 1:41:23.640 I want to tell people, Bro, when they look at us, Dog, 1:41:24.280 --> 1:41:28.800 y'all are fucking fathers. Bro, y'all running this ship. You're 1:41:28.800 --> 1:41:31.840 still trying to run your own business. Fucking juicy, Bro. 1:41:32.439 --> 1:41:33.679 I saw the other one, said. 1:41:33.560 --> 1:41:33.880 The other. 1:41:36.760 --> 1:41:42.640 I got you, and Bro Like, even though I do it, Bro, 1:41:42.800 --> 1:41:45.880 it ain't fair. I try to tell my staff that, Bro. 1:41:46.880 --> 1:41:46.920 Like. 1:41:48.400 --> 1:41:51.559 Bro, I'm in the middle of we did run Champs, 1:41:51.680 --> 1:41:54.479 we did drink Champs. I got the f one ship 1:41:54.560 --> 1:41:57.519 going on. I had to speak at what was the ship. 1:41:57.560 --> 1:42:00.960 I spoke at ad week, and then audition came in. 1:42:02.000 --> 1:42:04.360 I gotta learn all these fucking lines, find a place 1:42:04.400 --> 1:42:07.439 to do my audition. But that's just not human. And 1:42:07.600 --> 1:42:10.080 although I do it, people didn't understand. 1:42:10.160 --> 1:42:10.240 Bro. 1:42:10.360 --> 1:42:14.240 For ten years straight, I did activism at the highest level. 1:42:14.360 --> 1:42:14.479 Bro. 1:42:15.160 --> 1:42:18.800 I produced at the highest level. I acted at a 1:42:18.840 --> 1:42:21.679 high level. Not at the highest level, but I'm getting better. 1:42:23.920 --> 1:42:27.360 I wrapped at the highest level, Bro, and still stayed 1:42:27.360 --> 1:42:28.400 a good human being. 1:42:28.720 --> 1:42:30.800 But let me ask you, that's that was something deep 1:42:30.880 --> 1:42:34.479 as you said right there, you still audition. Oh yeah, 1:42:34.680 --> 1:42:38.760 so what does that mean for a person? You have 1:42:38.920 --> 1:42:40.720 the role, but you have to prove that you can 1:42:40.960 --> 1:42:41.919 hold your trying. 1:42:41.720 --> 1:42:42.599 Out for the role. Yeah. 1:42:43.040 --> 1:42:44.640 Yeah, maybe they're offering you the role. 1:42:44.760 --> 1:42:48.000 No, Bro, it's if I audition, it's for some bigger shit. 1:42:48.479 --> 1:42:50.040 You know what I'm saying. It's for some shit that's 1:42:50.080 --> 1:42:53.360 worth auditioning. And then the other thing is also for me, 1:42:55.040 --> 1:43:03.560 is a lot of times we get beside ourselves and 1:43:03.680 --> 1:43:08.400 I had to learn that in advertisement, Like as big 1:43:08.920 --> 1:43:12.559 as I may have been at the time, that ain't 1:43:12.560 --> 1:43:15.800 shited to a multi billion dollar company like BRO. I 1:43:15.880 --> 1:43:17.680 got to get in there and I gotta show up 1:43:17.720 --> 1:43:19.960 and show out. One of the things that made my 1:43:20.080 --> 1:43:22.240 company so big and people didn't know how I was 1:43:22.320 --> 1:43:24.960 able to sustain so much money is because I would 1:43:24.960 --> 1:43:27.400 turn my shit in two weeks early. No artist has 1:43:27.479 --> 1:43:30.920 ever done that. Nobody has ever done that, And it's 1:43:31.000 --> 1:43:34.400 because I knew, Bro, I'm gonna show y'all this, cameras 1:43:34.439 --> 1:43:38.200 get close to this. When I was doing Mercedes Bens, 1:43:38.640 --> 1:43:41.600 I was also working on a movie. I decided to 1:43:41.720 --> 1:43:45.200 ride my bike to the studio shout out to Hector, 1:43:49.520 --> 1:43:53.240 and it was twenty miles. I rode nineteen miles, flipped 1:43:53.280 --> 1:43:55.960 and broke my arm in half. But I was producing 1:43:56.120 --> 1:44:01.479 a commercial for Mercedes Bens. Mexican dude, bro, it was funny. 1:44:01.520 --> 1:44:05.200 He was like, damn Houns, you fucked up, and he 1:44:05.280 --> 1:44:08.400 took his He took my backpack off my back and 1:44:08.840 --> 1:44:12.360 he McGuire a splint and he made my backpack into 1:44:12.400 --> 1:44:14.559 his splint and put my fucking and it was funny. 1:44:14.760 --> 1:44:17.160 I broke my arm so bad that it was actually short. 1:44:17.520 --> 1:44:19.840 It broke in half. It was so funny because I 1:44:19.880 --> 1:44:23.200 had a Jewish doctor and he cursed when I walked 1:44:23.240 --> 1:44:24.840 in he saw my arm. He was like what the 1:44:25.040 --> 1:44:27.679 fuck they had never seen He said he only seen 1:44:27.760 --> 1:44:30.040 one break that bad in his life. It was a 1:44:30.120 --> 1:44:34.160 girl who was in a jeep and a jeep and 1:44:36.280 --> 1:44:38.879 and I ended I ended up staying finishing the commercial 1:44:38.920 --> 1:44:41.880 and having surgery the next day. And people was like why. 1:44:42.520 --> 1:44:44.040 I was like, because they don't want to see black 1:44:44.040 --> 1:44:46.800 people make this kind of money. I knew that although 1:44:46.840 --> 1:44:49.120 I had broke my arm, if I didn't turn that 1:44:49.200 --> 1:44:51.560 commercial in in time, they would find a way to 1:44:51.600 --> 1:44:54.080 say that I was lazy or that I didn't do 1:44:54.200 --> 1:44:57.040 my work, you know how they do us. And everybody 1:44:57.160 --> 1:44:59.120 asked me, like, why did you do that? I said, 1:44:59.120 --> 1:45:01.040 because I made ano money that I could have bought 1:45:01.080 --> 1:45:01.880 a RoboCop on. 1:45:03.439 --> 1:45:03.600 You know. 1:45:04.080 --> 1:45:05.599 Did I answer your question? That was fine? 1:45:05.720 --> 1:45:12.720 Okay, I'll take a people and you know, you know, 1:45:13.880 --> 1:45:16.640 I know you've been to see Dave Chappelle. Yeah, and 1:45:17.640 --> 1:45:18.160 was it Ohio? 1:45:18.840 --> 1:45:19.240 Yeah? Hi? 1:45:20.040 --> 1:45:22.200 And with something that I learned, right, So we were 1:45:22.240 --> 1:45:25.479 trying to like go there and just hold ourselves down. 1:45:25.880 --> 1:45:27.760 You know, we didn't want nothing from Dave. We just 1:45:27.800 --> 1:45:30.080 wanted to get the interview and kind of like leave. 1:45:31.120 --> 1:45:34.000 And as we landed, we couldn't do nothing without Dave 1:45:34.040 --> 1:45:37.760 Chappelle permission, like you could set into a hotel. We 1:45:37.840 --> 1:45:40.280 couldn't get caught service. It was all like no, no, no, 1:45:40.400 --> 1:45:42.000 Dave Chapelle already got you. It was like we want 1:45:42.000 --> 1:45:42.559 to buy our own. 1:45:42.600 --> 1:45:46.479 It was like, tell you something. So me and Dave 1:45:46.880 --> 1:45:50.960 are cool. I told you me and Corey and so 1:45:53.120 --> 1:45:55.439 the thing about Dave that he got to understand, Bro, 1:45:55.720 --> 1:45:59.120 I have money. I had a lot of money. I 1:45:59.200 --> 1:46:01.360 don't have that kind of money. So I had to 1:46:01.439 --> 1:46:04.200 tell Dave. Because you get around Dave Chappelle and time 1:46:04.520 --> 1:46:07.800 slows down, like I'm that serious, bro, Like I have 1:46:07.960 --> 1:46:10.000 to I have to leave because you look up, Bro, 1:46:10.360 --> 1:46:12.360 It'll be ten in the morning and and then it'd 1:46:12.400 --> 1:46:14.400 be four pm two days later. 1:46:14.520 --> 1:46:14.640 Bro. 1:46:15.240 --> 1:46:17.280 So I remember, Bro, I was with Dave and I 1:46:17.360 --> 1:46:19.240 was about to leave. I was like, so I tried 1:46:19.280 --> 1:46:25.519 to sneak out, and Dave Chappelle said, oh, Dave, why 1:46:25.520 --> 1:46:29.599 are you leaving? David? I was like, fuck Dave Chappelle 1:46:30.360 --> 1:46:31.960 and ended up staying another two days. 1:46:32.080 --> 1:46:32.200 Bro. 1:46:32.800 --> 1:46:35.920 It's almost like a void of happiness. Dog. 1:46:40.960 --> 1:46:43.000 And you know what's crazy about that. I love the 1:46:43.080 --> 1:46:45.360 fact that he locked down that little town and it's 1:46:45.439 --> 1:46:48.240 just his like he's the mayor that he don't have 1:46:48.360 --> 1:46:51.120 to say he's the mayor. He's just the mayor, you 1:46:51.200 --> 1:46:51.639 know what I mean. 1:46:51.760 --> 1:46:53.439 I remember he had the Burger people there. 1:46:53.760 --> 1:46:55.080 Yeah, yeah, we finished. 1:46:55.120 --> 1:46:58.640 He's like they got the DJ. Yeah, so I'll be 1:46:58.720 --> 1:47:04.559 back on now this. So I want to I want 1:47:04.600 --> 1:47:07.160 to take this time to say something about two people 1:47:07.200 --> 1:47:12.800 that's really important to me. Number one, the comedian Ryan Davis. Bro, 1:47:13.320 --> 1:47:17.960 he's fucking amazing dude. And Ryan Davis introduced me to Ali, 1:47:19.720 --> 1:47:25.560 and me and Ali we have this unspoken competition of 1:47:25.720 --> 1:47:30.719 helping each other and supporting each other. Alid is Muslim 1:47:31.520 --> 1:47:37.040 and I met him, Bro, and the dude actually man 1:47:37.120 --> 1:47:39.240 to a certain degree, changed the way that I looked 1:47:39.240 --> 1:47:42.720 at hip hop and entertainment and Bro, it shook me. 1:47:43.360 --> 1:47:48.760 So Ryan took me to a show and it was 1:47:48.880 --> 1:47:52.280 really funny. I ain't gonna tell you that story. Yeah 1:47:53.280 --> 1:47:56.840 it was funny, but I told him. I was like, Bro, 1:47:57.000 --> 1:48:00.439 we as black men have to do better. We're keeping 1:48:00.560 --> 1:48:02.720 up with each other. We always say we got each other, 1:48:02.840 --> 1:48:04.880 we got each other. My motherfuckers don't never show up. 1:48:05.200 --> 1:48:07.200 When you call people for the album, they say they 1:48:07.280 --> 1:48:08.680 got you, and then you call them they won't pick 1:48:08.720 --> 1:48:12.400 up the fucking phone. And so I told Ali. I 1:48:12.520 --> 1:48:14.080 was like, Bro, I'm a fly to Houston because he's 1:48:14.120 --> 1:48:16.000 from Houston. I was like, Bro, I want to sit 1:48:16.080 --> 1:48:18.439 down and talk to you. And we got to start 1:48:18.479 --> 1:48:22.720 congregating with each other and Alis and Dick said, let 1:48:22.760 --> 1:48:25.160 me be clear with you about something. David, he said, 1:48:25.160 --> 1:48:28.559 I'm Muslim. He said, so when you give me your word, 1:48:29.520 --> 1:48:32.400 that means life and death to me, Like y'all say 1:48:32.479 --> 1:48:35.240 word is bun Like, we am not playing with that shit. 1:48:35.520 --> 1:48:37.240 He's like, so, if you say that you want to 1:48:37.320 --> 1:48:39.920 kick it with me, Bro, be prepared. I wasn't used 1:48:39.960 --> 1:48:42.760 to a motherfucker. I'm used to checking motherfuckers, not motherfuckers 1:48:43.000 --> 1:48:45.240 like checking me. And I was like, what should motherfucker? 1:48:45.560 --> 1:48:48.360 I'm dad serious about the shit I do. And so 1:48:48.560 --> 1:48:51.360 Bro we stayed in contact and he told me some 1:48:51.439 --> 1:48:56.000 of y'all that changed my life. He said, them other motherfuckers, 1:48:56.439 --> 1:48:59.760 they don't really fuck with us, those of us who 1:48:59.840 --> 1:49:03.080 have honor and that are really about the ship that 1:49:03.200 --> 1:49:06.360 we say. The motherfuckers don't really want us around. They're 1:49:06.360 --> 1:49:09.439 waiting for us to fall off, and we ain't going nowhere, 1:49:09.720 --> 1:49:11.680 And so what he taught me is that we got 1:49:11.760 --> 1:49:14.839 to create our own communities. Nor you so how powerful 1:49:14.880 --> 1:49:17.439 it was this morning when we was running. And now 1:49:17.520 --> 1:49:19.200 I'm taking a shot. You got me, hype man. I'm 1:49:19.200 --> 1:49:22.160 just being honest. Whatever shot you got left just got 1:49:22.200 --> 1:49:27.360 me hYP No. No, I'm saying. Ali told me he 1:49:27.479 --> 1:49:30.639 was like, better fuck the niggas. Bro, He's like those 1:49:30.720 --> 1:49:32.880 of us, that's real. If it ain't but five or 1:49:32.960 --> 1:49:35.640 ten of us, then I'm cool with that. And so 1:49:35.720 --> 1:49:37.839 I'm done with trying to hang out with these niggas. 1:49:38.120 --> 1:49:41.160 I'm tired of conforming to these weak motherfuckers who don't 1:49:41.160 --> 1:49:43.160 care about the coaching and don't care about the people. 1:49:43.479 --> 1:49:46.360 If you pussy hang with the pussies, dog, that's it. 1:49:46.680 --> 1:49:53.680 Drink look damn shout after a Ryan Davis. Let's go now. 1:49:53.800 --> 1:49:57.799 This is this is pretty much what if there's anything 1:49:57.840 --> 1:50:01.439 you could take back this whole time you've been in 1:50:01.520 --> 1:50:03.960 the industry, it's one thing you could take back to 1:50:04.040 --> 1:50:05.519 make better, what would it be? 1:50:05.680 --> 1:50:10.639 I would treat myself better. I'm my biggest enemy, I'm 1:50:10.680 --> 1:50:14.479 my biggest critic. You know. People love me, people honor me, 1:50:14.560 --> 1:50:17.040 people respect me. I don't honor and respect myself. How 1:50:17.080 --> 1:50:19.479 did you mistreat yourself? Though? Too hard on myself. I 1:50:19.479 --> 1:50:22.760 didn't give myself grace. You know. My mentor told me this, 1:50:23.000 --> 1:50:27.679 Dave Moody, he said, he said, David, Bro, you didn't 1:50:27.720 --> 1:50:29.680 have any mentors. You didn't had nobody to show you 1:50:29.760 --> 1:50:32.439 the right way. You were from Mississippi. It's like you 1:50:32.960 --> 1:50:35.880 got it how you live. And he's like, Bro, that's admirable. 1:50:36.360 --> 1:50:38.880 He said. You do better when you experience better when 1:50:38.920 --> 1:50:42.320 you know better. And so like Bro, I love myself. 1:50:42.400 --> 1:50:45.920 I treat myself better. I was telling somebody on another show, 1:50:45.960 --> 1:50:49.040 I date myself. I take myself out. You know what 1:50:49.080 --> 1:50:51.040 I'm saying. I told you I did this seven miles 1:50:51.120 --> 1:50:52.920 while I was here because I was on a beautiful 1:50:52.960 --> 1:50:56.040 beach around beautiful women. You run a little bit further 1:50:56.040 --> 1:50:56.519 than when a. 1:50:56.800 --> 1:51:04.120 Secon motherfucker and the kinnon said, what is some nice cakes? 1:51:04.360 --> 1:51:07.280 You know what I'm saying. But no, man, I just 1:51:07.560 --> 1:51:09.880 I just wish I would have treated myself better. I 1:51:10.120 --> 1:51:12.080 wish I would have known that I was worthy. I 1:51:12.200 --> 1:51:18.160 tell y'all this quick story. I interviewed many fresh, and 1:51:18.280 --> 1:51:20.280 many fresh told me that when I used to come 1:51:20.320 --> 1:51:22.040 to the studio back in the day, like him and 1:51:22.120 --> 1:51:24.280 Jazzy Fai used to always talk about how dope I 1:51:24.520 --> 1:51:27.200 was as a producer, and it hurt me a little 1:51:27.240 --> 1:51:30.000 bit because I was like, Bro, imagine if Jazzy Fay 1:51:30.000 --> 1:51:33.320 would have told me that back then, like Bro, it 1:51:33.400 --> 1:51:36.479 would like Jazzy Fay means so much to me, Bro, 1:51:36.640 --> 1:51:38.000 he was one of the people. But he told me 1:51:38.080 --> 1:51:40.400 he's like Bro, similar to my father. He said, I 1:51:40.439 --> 1:51:42.320 had to make you earn it because you have to 1:51:42.400 --> 1:51:42.920 be a man. 1:51:43.160 --> 1:51:43.280 Bro. 1:51:43.840 --> 1:51:45.800 That was the reason why we didn't tell you. But 1:51:45.920 --> 1:51:48.439 if Jackie Fay and Mary Fresh would have told me 1:51:49.040 --> 1:51:52.000 back then, I would have told you. For y'allis my 1:51:52.160 --> 1:51:56.240 ass pay me this but but but but Bro. It 1:51:56.320 --> 1:51:59.439 came in a hard way, and I'm grateful for it 1:51:59.600 --> 1:52:02.400 and grateful that I'm still here, and I'm grateful that 1:52:02.479 --> 1:52:03.360 I'm healthy. 1:52:04.160 --> 1:52:04.280 Bro. 1:52:04.479 --> 1:52:06.479 This this African lady told me, and I don't know 1:52:06.600 --> 1:52:08.640 whether people really feel this. She's like, you know what 1:52:08.720 --> 1:52:11.200 we think about you, David, And I's like what She's like, 1:52:11.280 --> 1:52:13.000 you one of the people that didn't sell your soul 1:52:13.400 --> 1:52:16.360 and we respect and honor you. So at the end 1:52:16.360 --> 1:52:18.599 of the day, Bro, honor is something that you still 1:52:18.760 --> 1:52:21.599 can't buy. And I'm grateful that I stand for something 1:52:21.640 --> 1:52:23.519 and I hope that's what I bring to hip hop 1:52:23.840 --> 1:52:26.479 and some honor and some love and some respect. But 1:52:26.560 --> 1:52:30.400 a bit you're gonna pay me. Do you believe in Illuminati? 1:52:30.920 --> 1:52:35.120 Do I believe in Illuminati? It don't matter. I don't 1:52:35.160 --> 1:52:38.519 benefit from it. Like, bro, what I tell you is 1:52:38.560 --> 1:52:41.719 that I believe that white people have always had secret 1:52:41.800 --> 1:52:45.759 society as always, but America is part of a secret society. 1:52:46.080 --> 1:52:47.240 You know, all that shit is. 1:52:47.320 --> 1:52:47.760 What it is. 1:52:48.520 --> 1:52:50.360 What I do believe is that we need to create 1:52:50.479 --> 1:52:56.720 our Illuminati and move in away. Huh, Illubinati just we 1:52:56.840 --> 1:52:57.439 call it our own. 1:53:00.080 --> 1:53:02.400 But if you look at my apartment, because let me 1:53:02.479 --> 1:53:04.960 look right now, like I'm not I don't want to 1:53:04.960 --> 1:53:09.160 be mysterious, but look, you've got Eli Munk hanging out 1:53:09.240 --> 1:53:12.000 with Trump, Trump hanging out with Jeff Bezos, Jeff begels 1:53:12.360 --> 1:53:16.160 that if that's not what the fuck we've been told 1:53:16.280 --> 1:53:17.280 what Illuminati is? 1:53:17.600 --> 1:53:17.760 Is that? 1:53:18.120 --> 1:53:18.960 And my bugging off, it. 1:53:18.960 --> 1:53:20.800 Wouldn't because they in the open, so it wouldn't be. 1:53:21.000 --> 1:53:25.040 I mean, they always fucked with each right, damn Illuminati. 1:53:25.160 --> 1:53:27.920 We're not seeing whatever the fuck that is but let 1:53:27.960 --> 1:53:29.960 me but let me tell you what's amazing is the 1:53:30.040 --> 1:53:33.280 difference between them ain't the white. The difference between them 1:53:33.680 --> 1:53:37.680 is that those are all low tier motherfuckers like Bro, 1:53:37.920 --> 1:53:40.200 like now that I'm moving in business, and then the 1:53:40.280 --> 1:53:42.800 motherfuckers who are really powerful, you never know who they are. 1:53:43.880 --> 1:53:45.639 You know what I'm saying. I'll tell you my ex 1:53:45.760 --> 1:53:51.280 girlfriend was one of the youngest most successful women in Atlanta. 1:53:52.160 --> 1:53:54.800 In Atlanta, she owned the construction company. She told me 1:53:54.880 --> 1:53:57.559 something taught me something so dope, it's gonna fuck everybody. 1:53:57.680 --> 1:54:03.080 Head up, watch this. How y'all have a wonder whose 1:54:03.200 --> 1:54:06.120 name is on the top of all these buildings. When 1:54:06.160 --> 1:54:09.240 we look up at these buildings, you don't know the motherfuckers, 1:54:09.760 --> 1:54:13.599 but they own the whole fucking building. They ain't out 1:54:13.760 --> 1:54:17.000 popping on the internet. They ain't like Look, Bro, I 1:54:17.200 --> 1:54:23.040 was out. I went to this restaurant on the secret Island, Doug, 1:54:23.880 --> 1:54:26.880 and the restaurant was the only fucking you had. The 1:54:26.960 --> 1:54:28.320 only way you can get to the island is on 1:54:28.439 --> 1:54:31.160 these boats, right, And as I'm going to this island, 1:54:31.200 --> 1:54:34.480 I'm seeing all these big ass fucking houses, Like, who 1:54:34.520 --> 1:54:38.080 are the motherfuckers that own those islands? It was thousands 1:54:38.160 --> 1:54:42.520 of opulent fucking houses. But the real motherfuckers that's running 1:54:42.520 --> 1:54:46.520 this country, that's running us, Bro, that's running our food. 1:54:46.720 --> 1:54:50.440 Dog Like, you'll never know who the motherfuckers are. So 1:54:50.600 --> 1:54:53.120 the fact that we even talk about it, that shit 1:54:53.200 --> 1:54:54.960 don't mean nothing. What we need to do is grow 1:54:55.040 --> 1:54:58.800 our own food by own and consume my own and 1:54:58.960 --> 1:55:02.480 be self sufficient it bro, and empower our homies. And 1:55:02.840 --> 1:55:06.120 the difference is it's not empower to homies that's just 1:55:06.280 --> 1:55:09.960 around power. Empower the homies that really got some real 1:55:10.080 --> 1:55:13.000 fucking talent, not just the motherfuckers that hang around and 1:55:13.720 --> 1:55:16.760 bro to a certain degree. I watch how y'all move 1:55:17.360 --> 1:55:19.040 when I'm proud of y'all of that, bro me and 1:55:19.120 --> 1:55:22.920 you just didn't run by ourselves. It was eight motherfuckers 1:55:23.000 --> 1:55:24.600 that was out there, that was around you, and that 1:55:24.720 --> 1:55:27.839 was powerful. That was king shit, Bro. Your whole movement. 1:55:28.000 --> 1:55:31.200 Motherfuckers may not see it, Bro, but you always moved 1:55:31.200 --> 1:55:34.080 with twenty thirty motherfuckers that will die for you, Hommy. 1:55:34.520 --> 1:55:37.240 That's the same thing that the white boys did. They 1:55:37.400 --> 1:55:39.720 just put theirselves on another level and we got to 1:55:39.840 --> 1:55:42.960 dream for biggert shit. Now we gotta stop just dreaming 1:55:43.080 --> 1:55:45.520 the smaller dream. We gotta dream a dream that's so 1:55:45.720 --> 1:55:48.640 fucking big. I'm serious when I tell y'all what I'm 1:55:48.680 --> 1:55:53.040 about to do, I have to stay quiet because if 1:55:53.080 --> 1:55:55.360 I continue on this path, the motherfucker's gonna hurk me 1:55:55.400 --> 1:55:57.600 in a second. Dog, I gotta just shut the fuck up. 1:55:58.120 --> 1:56:00.760 That's one thing that I learned. Got the fuck up 1:56:00.840 --> 1:56:03.440 until it's too late. But bro, I'm telling you, when 1:56:03.480 --> 1:56:05.960 I do what I'm about to do, do we all 1:56:06.080 --> 1:56:09.400 can retire. They kiss all our ass. Dog, I'm serious. Bro, 1:56:09.440 --> 1:56:11.720 We're gonna buy some land and we moving. I'm up. 1:56:11.960 --> 1:56:14.920 I'm done. I'm bad. 1:56:15.200 --> 1:56:20.400 That's all good as a person. And just so you know, 1:56:21.240 --> 1:56:23.760 like we look up to when when you speak right, 1:56:23.880 --> 1:56:29.280 we look up to Like for me, I want people 1:56:29.360 --> 1:56:32.920 like you and Killer Mike to like run for the 1:56:33.040 --> 1:56:36.280 mayors of these cities, even if it's California whatever. I 1:56:36.440 --> 1:56:39.040 really think that we can actually do that. Like when 1:56:39.080 --> 1:56:42.160 they say, like the local vote, is that something that 1:56:42.240 --> 1:56:43.440 you ever would think about? 1:56:43.520 --> 1:56:46.440 No, man, no money in politics. No, we get this money. 1:56:47.280 --> 1:56:50.520 We get this money and we buy politicians. Politicians are prostitutes, 1:56:51.360 --> 1:56:55.200 so you b yeah, you buy the fucking politicians and 1:56:55.240 --> 1:56:57.040 you make them bitches do what they supposed to do. 1:56:57.280 --> 1:56:58.640 If you don't do what you paid to do, you 1:56:58.760 --> 1:57:03.160 get your bitch ass beat, period. Bro. If we really 1:57:03.240 --> 1:57:05.800 want to be powerful, if you really love me, you 1:57:05.800 --> 1:57:07.640 wouldn't want to see me be a politician. That's a 1:57:07.680 --> 1:57:09.760 wasting my time. Ain't no money in I don't know. 1:57:10.040 --> 1:57:12.800 I'm just saying not you, per se. But the real 1:57:12.920 --> 1:57:16.880 power is in me getting real money. And then were 1:57:16.920 --> 1:57:19.920 playing chess on the board with other motherfuckers who want 1:57:19.960 --> 1:57:22.040 to do that kind of ship. Me being the mayor, 1:57:22.120 --> 1:57:24.760 I can't make no money.

Bro. I'm being honest. 1:58:02.600 --> 1:58:06.960 I'm sorry, but I'm saying to myself, why can't we 1:58:07.080 --> 1:58:08.160 have that everywhere? 1:58:08.280 --> 1:58:08.400 Right? 1:58:08.560 --> 1:58:11.680 Like, I know I'm relating to this to the most 1:58:11.720 --> 1:58:13.880 simplest thing, But let me just break down something for you. 1:58:15.280 --> 1:58:21.240 One time, I'm traveling, you know, the fitty States, and 1:58:21.320 --> 1:58:23.840 what I realized, everywhere I went there was a rough 1:58:23.960 --> 1:58:28.720 rider club. There was a motorcycle club everywhere I went, right. 1:58:28.680 --> 1:58:29.560 Shout out to Y and D. 1:58:31.000 --> 1:58:36.680 Motherfucker that's right. And I'm like, okay, right now, I'm 1:58:37.400 --> 1:58:39.680 I said, I'm labeling to the simplest thing right there, 1:58:40.200 --> 1:58:42.320 right now, I can have a run club everywhere I go, 1:58:42.600 --> 1:58:46.640 right right, absolutely, But why I can't have when I 1:58:46.760 --> 1:58:50.320 go to Atlanta killing Mike is actually the motherfucking mayor. 1:58:50.440 --> 1:58:53.320 And t I is the governor. I know this sounds crazy, 1:58:53.960 --> 1:58:55.480 but it's not sounds crazy. 1:58:58.960 --> 1:59:00.680 Can actually get the watch this. 1:59:00.760 --> 1:59:03.560 You remember me and you had that conversation like. 1:59:05.960 --> 1:59:06.520 Mississippi. 1:59:07.280 --> 1:59:09.720 We actually wrote it down. It was like, okay, we 1:59:09.800 --> 1:59:19.160 could talk to forty we hadn't talked about because it 1:59:19.560 --> 1:59:21.240 meant a lot to me and bro it was so 1:59:21.440 --> 1:59:24.120 fucking smart. But the only way that I would do 1:59:24.280 --> 1:59:26.560 it and it would be worth my time is if 1:59:26.600 --> 1:59:29.760 it was a movement and not just me, because I'm 1:59:29.760 --> 1:59:31.000 gonna tell you all something, and I'm gonna say I 1:59:31.080 --> 1:59:32.760 wasn't gonna say this, bro, but this ship pissed me 1:59:32.840 --> 1:59:36.600 off to niggas that I thought was really my friend. Bro. 1:59:36.720 --> 1:59:38.280 They would have come and get me when it was time, 1:59:38.400 --> 1:59:41.480 revolutionary time, and they would put me out there and 1:59:41.520 --> 1:59:43.720 let banda talk, let banda talk, And then I get 1:59:43.840 --> 1:59:46.440 fucking shot up in my career, fucking fall and the 1:59:46.560 --> 1:59:49.240 motherfuckers go get their motherfucking deals with Disney and Ship. 1:59:49.600 --> 1:59:51.600 They keep it moving, and they ain't really get a 1:59:51.680 --> 1:59:54.680 fuck about me. Bro. So if it's not a movement, 1:59:55.120 --> 1:59:57.320 then what they really want. And this is part of 1:59:57.400 --> 2:00:00.440 our problem is that we have a Jesus complex. I 2:00:00.520 --> 2:00:02.920 don't think that the story of Jesus was about a 2:00:03.040 --> 2:00:06.160 man coming and bearing a cross for you. I think 2:00:06.240 --> 2:00:09.480 that Jesus, the story of Jesus, was about a man 2:00:09.600 --> 2:00:12.800 coming down and being a man and showing you how 2:00:12.840 --> 2:00:17.000 to carry your own cross. Ain't nobody gonna fucking save us, 2:00:17.520 --> 2:00:20.320 Ain't nobody coming out the sky. Ain't nobody but you 2:00:20.480 --> 2:00:24.200 gonna save your fucking community. If it ain't us, Bro, 2:00:24.480 --> 2:00:27.240 that shit done. What we need to do is find 2:00:27.280 --> 2:00:30.640 an articulate, bright kid. We all see him in our hoods, 2:00:30.800 --> 2:00:34.240 right and wrong. Put some money behind that motherfucker, raise 2:00:34.400 --> 2:00:36.760 him and be like, look, we're gonna take care of you, 2:00:37.400 --> 2:00:39.160 but what we need you to do is this and this, 2:00:39.360 --> 2:00:41.440 this and this for our community, and then you can 2:00:41.480 --> 2:00:44.160 do whatever the fuck you want to do. Bro, We 2:00:44.240 --> 2:00:45.480 got to be more strategic. 2:00:45.560 --> 2:00:49.120 But like, for instance, and you've been doing this all day, 2:00:49.120 --> 2:00:51.360 you said, I don't give you a example, So I'm 2:00:51.360 --> 2:00:52.200 gonna give you an example. 2:00:53.120 --> 2:00:55.040 Dave Chappelle. We start with Dave Chappelle. 2:00:55.400 --> 2:00:57.600 We don't want Dave Chappelle to change, we don't want 2:00:57.640 --> 2:01:00.720 day shape we want but you run this Hohio, run 2:01:00.840 --> 2:01:04.040 for the whole fucking governor and you don't think Dave Chappelle. 2:01:03.720 --> 2:01:05.640 Would win, and why should he even do that? 2:01:05.720 --> 2:01:10.320 And what I'm trying to say is hip hop takes 2:01:10.360 --> 2:01:13.120 over everything. Let's imagine if we really you said, like 2:01:13.160 --> 2:01:14.520 a movement, this is what you said, This is the 2:01:14.520 --> 2:01:17.120 reason why I'm gonna stick to this. If we got 2:01:17.200 --> 2:01:20.120 together and really said, you're listen, We're gonna have Ray 2:01:20.240 --> 2:01:24.680 Kualm one for Dallas. He's gonna be Dallas and whoever 2:01:25.400 --> 2:01:28.839 is from Dallas, slim thug j Prince. 2:01:29.320 --> 2:01:34.040 Uh, you know what's my man name? Uh? 2:01:34.920 --> 2:01:37.600 What's my man name? Traded truth, Trade the truth. And 2:01:37.640 --> 2:01:40.920 we got y'all running, and we're really getting behind this now. 2:01:40.960 --> 2:01:44.440 We got Houston, we got Dallas, we got Atlanta, we 2:01:44.560 --> 2:01:47.240 got New York, we got that ship. 2:01:47.400 --> 2:01:50.720 Is like, that's but watch this. Let me even put 2:01:50.760 --> 2:01:53.400 a twist to it. Yes, we are the only people 2:01:53.480 --> 2:01:56.320 that put our generals on the front line. Like, no, 2:01:56.480 --> 2:01:58.160 you don't put your generals on the front line. Why 2:01:58.160 --> 2:02:00.840 you're gonna put Dave Chappelle. Da Chapelle is money that 2:02:00.960 --> 2:02:05.520 Japelle is our bank. What we do is we take Okay, 2:02:07.560 --> 2:02:10.000 that's what you choose, that you choose, But what I'm 2:02:10.040 --> 2:02:12.720 saying is, instead of you taking Dave Chapelle, you let 2:02:12.800 --> 2:02:15.600 Dave Chappelle be the brain trust that he is in 2:02:15.760 --> 2:02:20.200 the financier that he is, and we find a young motherfucker. 2:02:20.440 --> 2:02:23.040 So that's like instead of if let's let's say, like 2:02:23.080 --> 2:02:24.600 I'm not just saying this, but like let's just say, 2:02:24.680 --> 2:02:28.560 if krit was interested in it, okay, then why not 2:02:28.680 --> 2:02:33.520 me take my money, my influence, me move on this level, 2:02:33.600 --> 2:02:37.120 put my money into somebody like that or one of 2:02:37.200 --> 2:02:39.240 the problems that we have in the black and brown 2:02:39.320 --> 2:02:43.120 community is that we want to be entertained. If it's 2:02:43.160 --> 2:02:46.880 about politics, then find somebody that's good at politics. 2:02:47.080 --> 2:02:49.160 Right now, this president is entertaining. 2:02:51.000 --> 2:02:54.680 America. So you're you're you're proving my point the reality 2:02:55.200 --> 2:02:58.600 to watch this, to watch this, if we have been 2:02:58.720 --> 2:03:03.160 socially engineered in America to be in the positions that 2:03:03.280 --> 2:03:05.960 were in, why would we go hire a rapper? Go 2:03:06.160 --> 2:03:09.880 find a fucking engineer. That's why we never have sustainable 2:03:10.000 --> 2:03:14.240 movements because we want pretty entertaining. Malcolm X said it, 2:03:14.560 --> 2:03:17.520 and I don't want rappers on fucking CNN speaking for me, 2:03:17.760 --> 2:03:23.080 Go rap, nigga. I want someone who can articulate real, solid, 2:03:23.440 --> 2:03:27.280 fucking plans. I wanted the smartest motherfuckers in hip hop period. 2:03:27.560 --> 2:03:29.920 I'm the fuck wouldn't nobody say, But I don't even 2:03:29.960 --> 2:03:33.680 think I'm worthy to speak on behalf of the plight 2:03:33.760 --> 2:03:36.880 of black people. Bro. I do it because I know 2:03:36.960 --> 2:03:38.920 a lot of these other motherfuckers don't give a fuck. 2:03:39.520 --> 2:03:42.160 But the reason why we don't get forward is because 2:03:42.200 --> 2:03:45.840 we don't have real sustainable plans. One of the things 2:03:45.880 --> 2:03:48.040 that pissed me off so bad that we did. And 2:03:48.120 --> 2:03:50.320 one of the mistakes that we made is when ice 2:03:50.440 --> 2:03:58.240 Cube stepped up and literally create a plan for politics 2:03:58.960 --> 2:04:02.560 and he said, I'm going to talk to Trump. Motherfuckers 2:04:02.640 --> 2:04:07.160 got mad. We always say we're playing chess, not checkers, 2:04:07.360 --> 2:04:10.560 and you're not gonna let the man play chess. You 2:04:10.840 --> 2:04:14.320 talk to everybody. What people don't know is some of 2:04:14.400 --> 2:04:17.360 our greatest leaders in the world set down at the 2:04:17.440 --> 2:04:20.920 table and talk to the Klan. If you don't want 2:04:21.000 --> 2:04:23.920 me in America and you're gonna put up two million 2:04:23.960 --> 2:04:25.920 dollars for me to get the fuck out, and I 2:04:26.000 --> 2:04:28.120 don't want to be here, and why can't we sit 2:04:28.200 --> 2:04:31.040 at the table and talk. We talked to the white 2:04:31.080 --> 2:04:35.760 motherfuckers as rappers who we knew were accountants, who we 2:04:35.840 --> 2:04:38.080 knew that was lawyers, and didn't give a fuck about 2:04:38.120 --> 2:04:40.600 the hood. And we sat down and found a medium. 2:04:40.680 --> 2:04:44.200 And that's how we created record companies. Why we can't 2:04:44.280 --> 2:04:47.400 sit down, sit down from a political standpoint and really 2:04:47.480 --> 2:04:51.920 have sustainable plans. Motherfuckers want to be emotional. They don't 2:04:52.080 --> 2:04:55.760 really want a movement. I honestly think that most people 2:04:55.880 --> 2:04:59.080 are scared of freedom, real freedom, like they are scared 2:04:59.120 --> 2:05:05.240 of death. Actually, all death may be better. Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, 2:05:05.320 --> 2:05:07.760 wait wait, hold on, you don't know what the fuck 2:05:07.880 --> 2:05:10.560 death is because you ain't died. Shit, you just don't 2:05:10.560 --> 2:05:12.080 want to take the chance to see and what's on 2:05:12.120 --> 2:05:16.040 the other side. But death might be better you don't know. 2:05:20.760 --> 2:05:23.400 That is the reason why I created a banner vision. 2:05:23.920 --> 2:05:26.800 That's the reason why I'm gonna do science based movies 2:05:26.880 --> 2:05:30.640 in Sciphi, because they constantly are preparing us for a 2:05:30.800 --> 2:05:36.160 future without us. So what I'm telling you is is 2:05:36.240 --> 2:05:39.560 that if we really want to talk politics, most black 2:05:39.640 --> 2:05:43.440 people don't even know what they really want. When you 2:05:43.520 --> 2:05:47.080 talk to any other subsection in this country, they can 2:05:47.120 --> 2:05:50.440 tell you exactly what they're fighting for. If you ask 2:05:50.600 --> 2:05:52.520 ten of our people, what do you really want out 2:05:52.560 --> 2:05:56.560 of politics? They don't know. And until we start paying, 2:05:58.000 --> 2:06:02.160 politics is a pay game. Until we start paying and 2:06:02.240 --> 2:06:05.520 then knowing what the fuck we want? Without vision, what 2:06:05.640 --> 2:06:11.960 do our people do? They perish my opinion? Wire? Hold on, 2:06:12.000 --> 2:06:16.840 I gotta take my periods. Ain't got a clerks. I 2:06:16.960 --> 2:06:18.480 know who I am? Lord? Yes? 2:06:20.840 --> 2:06:27.480 Moving forward? Uh huh? Do you think that hip hop 2:06:27.560 --> 2:06:28.520 still needs a union? 2:06:32.080 --> 2:06:36.480 No? I let that sit there. For a minute, just 2:06:36.800 --> 2:06:41.000 for ratings, because we already gave you pop away. I 2:06:41.120 --> 2:06:43.120 told y'all a long time ago, to streaming was the 2:06:43.200 --> 2:06:46.320 dumbest shit that we ever did in history. Dog, we 2:06:47.360 --> 2:06:50.440 finally started getting pennies, and then you're gonna let these 2:06:50.440 --> 2:06:54.080 motherfuckers give us fractions. Watch this, it's gonna fuck your 2:06:54.120 --> 2:06:57.880 head up. You remember when the white folks went to 2:06:58.040 --> 2:07:03.000 war about moving and them streaming movies? 2:07:03.280 --> 2:07:06.640 Oh yeah, boys, watch this. 2:07:07.800 --> 2:07:10.640 Didn't they just do the same fucking thing to music 2:07:11.200 --> 2:07:15.080 and none of us said shit, Fucking Prince t I, 2:07:15.640 --> 2:07:19.920 David Baron, I told you how stupid that was, and 2:07:20.040 --> 2:07:23.680 y'all call me crazy. We gave hip hop away, so 2:07:23.760 --> 2:07:27.600 what you're bitching for now? And then they do it 2:07:27.680 --> 2:07:29.400 to movies. The only reason why they didn't let it 2:07:29.440 --> 2:07:31.520 happen to movies is because they're still making money off 2:07:31.520 --> 2:07:35.840 of movies. They hadn't sut that totally dry yet. We 2:07:36.040 --> 2:07:39.080 had just found out how to how to create our 2:07:39.160 --> 2:07:42.040 first mom and pop stores, how to burn out on 2:07:42.280 --> 2:07:45.840 CDs even though we was bootlegging. We had just learned. 2:07:45.880 --> 2:07:48.879 Brother I had just started getting nine dollars an album, 2:07:49.040 --> 2:07:54.120 Dog unders Bro I didn't need but one more fucking album, 2:07:54.200 --> 2:07:57.280 and that would have been a fucking multi millionaire off music. 2:07:57.440 --> 2:08:02.200 Dog and I produced myself and we locked their motherfuckers. 2:08:02.680 --> 2:08:02.800 Bro. 2:08:03.080 --> 2:08:05.440 We gave it to take motherfuckers who don't even care 2:08:05.520 --> 2:08:08.760 about music, who ain't even cool. Dog, shout out to 2:08:08.840 --> 2:08:10.760 I'm gonna take motherfuckers who'll give me a lot of money. 2:08:11.800 --> 2:08:15.480 Y'all smart, but you ain't cool. Bro. We gave fucking 2:08:15.560 --> 2:08:17.400 hip hop away, so don't bitch about it. Not. I 2:08:17.400 --> 2:08:18.720 ain't no need for a union now. 2:08:18.800 --> 2:08:21.240 We gave it away under the guys of independence. Everybody 2:08:21.240 --> 2:08:22.360 thinks they're independent right now? 2:08:23.680 --> 2:08:23.920 Cool? 2:08:24.360 --> 2:08:27.680 Right, No, Niggas want to be cool, that's our problem. 2:08:28.120 --> 2:08:30.280 I want to be paid, Dog, I want to be free. 2:08:30.440 --> 2:08:30.640 Dog. 2:08:30.960 --> 2:08:32.720 I don't care if you care to think I'm a geek. 2:08:33.880 --> 2:08:36.320 Niggas said I was crazy, Dog. I told them that 2:08:36.440 --> 2:08:39.520 was the wrong thing to do. The Godbox failed because 2:08:39.520 --> 2:08:43.600 I wouldn't stream my fucking album. Dog. It's some stories 2:08:43.600 --> 2:08:46.760 I can't tell y'all about when people from distribution companies 2:08:46.880 --> 2:08:49.120 call me and say, Banner, I need you to help 2:08:49.160 --> 2:08:51.400 me fight on the streaming shit, and then they got 2:08:51.480 --> 2:08:54.440 cut into the equation, and then they ain't call me 2:08:54.560 --> 2:08:56.840 no more.

And y'all niggas give me 2:09:26.120 --> 2:09:29.640 y'all money, motherfucking money to these fucking tech companies. That's stupid. 2:09:30.280 --> 2:09:34.280 And until we as men, we gangster about dumb shit, Well, 2:09:34.360 --> 2:09:37.640 you ain't gangst about your fucking money, about your life, 2:09:37.760 --> 2:09:40.600 about your culture. I don't play about hip hop. That's 2:09:40.600 --> 2:09:43.160 why I don't do it no more, because I care 2:09:43.200 --> 2:09:45.440 about this shit too much. Niggas don't give a fuck 2:09:45.480 --> 2:09:48.880 about shit. Bro gave my whole life to this shit, 2:09:48.920 --> 2:09:51.640 and this shit was a lie. Dog y'all gave this 2:09:51.680 --> 2:09:53.720 ship up to them white folks in them tech companies. 2:09:53.760 --> 2:09:57.040 Now you butt ass hurt, and you wonder why artists 2:09:57.040 --> 2:09:59.600 who don't give a fuck make so much motherfucking money. 2:10:00.160 --> 2:10:02.200 Because you didn't stand when it was time to stand. 2:10:02.320 --> 2:10:05.800 We left streaming. We wanted to be cool and stream 2:10:06.040 --> 2:10:08.400 and look cool and all that kind of shit. And 2:10:08.480 --> 2:10:11.360 the niggas I asked the motherfucker if you were selling 2:10:11.440 --> 2:10:15.160 dope on the corner, you was getting ten dollars bad 2:10:16.080 --> 2:10:19.000 And the motherfucker said, hey, come and use my dope 2:10:19.200 --> 2:10:23.120 and let me give you point two cent piny Would 2:10:23.160 --> 2:10:23.880 you do that shit? 2:10:24.000 --> 2:10:24.240 Fuck? 2:10:24.320 --> 2:10:27.040 Now, you'd be like, nigga ill kill you. So why 2:10:27.120 --> 2:10:32.040 you didn't do that for your music? Just because they 2:10:32.120 --> 2:10:35.920 give one or two dark skin black people that y'all 2:10:36.000 --> 2:10:39.080 happened to like a few dollars, y'all sell y'all soul 2:10:39.200 --> 2:10:42.040 for that shit. That's just some whole shit. And I 2:10:42.120 --> 2:10:46.760 also think the same thing socially, just because when other 2:10:46.840 --> 2:10:49.400 coaches of people decide that they want to hang black 2:10:49.440 --> 2:10:52.680 people that we love and respect, we let that shit happen. 2:10:53.360 --> 2:10:55.600 If you look at a lot of lynching pictures, because 2:10:55.960 --> 2:10:58.600 I study history, if you look at when black people 2:10:58.720 --> 2:11:00.560 used to get lynched back in the day, you used 2:11:00.560 --> 2:11:04.840 to see black people standing around doing nothing. All y'all 2:11:04.880 --> 2:11:08.080 talk about how much you love Jesus. Y'all let you. 2:11:08.520 --> 2:11:11.000 You let them put him on the cross, and he 2:11:11.160 --> 2:11:13.200 told you he was the son of God, and you 2:11:13.280 --> 2:11:16.400 said you believe him, and you let them crucify him, 2:11:16.840 --> 2:11:21.160 and you stood by. You're a bitch. They took our 2:11:21.320 --> 2:11:23.280 music for us and we stood back and all y'all 2:11:23.360 --> 2:11:26.600 maka say, y'all a gangsters, you hos. And I believe 2:11:26.640 --> 2:11:30.200 that with all my life. And that ain't the alcohol. Man. 2:11:30.280 --> 2:11:33.360 I love this shit dog, but I be out here 2:11:33.440 --> 2:11:36.840 by myself, and y'all let me be by myself. And 2:11:36.920 --> 2:11:38.760 then you wonder why I don't give a fuck now, 2:11:39.680 --> 2:11:42.640 I don't know. I'm not emotional about this ship. I'm 2:11:42.720 --> 2:11:46.000 emotional about the motherfuckers that have a certain level of 2:11:46.160 --> 2:11:49.560 culture and honor. Dude, every time I call you, you 2:11:49.680 --> 2:11:52.040 pick up the phone. Every time I call you, you 2:11:52.160 --> 2:11:53.840 called me back, and you don't pick up the phone, 2:11:57.200 --> 2:12:00.080 y'ad butt, You pick up the phone, bro, And and 2:12:00.320 --> 2:12:01.400 it means the world in me. 2:12:01.480 --> 2:12:01.560 Bro. 2:12:01.720 --> 2:12:06.040 I love music, I love our culture, but it never 2:12:06.160 --> 2:12:09.000 really loved me. And so now I'm about to get 2:12:09.000 --> 2:12:12.480 this bread. Well I got it, but you know, get 2:12:12.520 --> 2:12:24.480 more of it? Yeah, a lot more.

But 2:14:06.520 --> 2:14:09.320 I went my whole career, Bro, not understanding this shit. 2:14:09.360 --> 2:14:12.080 This shit lonely. Bro. That's why when you asked me 2:14:12.160 --> 2:14:14.040 the question, it was so hard for me to answer. 2:14:14.720 --> 2:14:17.400 You know, is it easier being a solo artist or 2:14:17.720 --> 2:14:20.320 being in the group. But most of the shit I've done, 2:14:20.360 --> 2:14:23.640 I had to do a loan. Bro. Just had an 2:14:24.560 --> 2:14:28.200 anxiety attack on set for the first time in my life, 2:14:29.160 --> 2:14:30.680 and I ain't have nobody to fucking call. 2:14:30.840 --> 2:14:30.920 Bro. 2:14:31.960 --> 2:14:33.840 But this is a million This is the first time 2:14:33.880 --> 2:14:37.480 I had ever been on network TV, and Bro, somebody 2:14:37.560 --> 2:14:39.880 that I thought was my friend, somebody that I thought 2:14:39.920 --> 2:14:41.880 that was gonna have my back threw me up under 2:14:41.920 --> 2:14:44.920 the fucking bus human And like I'm used to coming 2:14:44.920 --> 2:14:46.920 from the hood, I'm used to beating the motherfucker when 2:14:46.960 --> 2:14:48.960 they do that kind of shit. But we know, like 2:14:49.080 --> 2:14:51.160 you taught me, Nor, I never finished the story. Nori 2:14:51.360 --> 2:14:53.080 was the one that teach me, better go in there 2:14:53.080 --> 2:15:05.800 and turn over table, but don't hit the white dude. Y'all, 2:15:07.120 --> 2:15:09.720 y'all listen to this is important. 2:15:09.400 --> 2:15:10.040 Though, y'all like. 2:15:11.560 --> 2:15:19.040 Like y'all like Bro, this ship lonely and it's scary.

Bro. Most people were from big fucking places. 2:15:34.120 --> 2:15:36.920 Though I can't, Like I said before, I can't hide 2:15:36.960 --> 2:15:40.640 behind that Yankee heat. It's just me and so Bro. 2:15:40.960 --> 2:15:43.160 Imagine the ship that I go through, Bro, the ship 2:15:43.240 --> 2:15:45.600 that I do. And I got to do this ship 2:15:45.840 --> 2:15:48.880 by myself. That's the reason why my conviction and my 2:15:49.000 --> 2:15:52.560 love for God is so different. But I ain't hide 2:15:52.640 --> 2:15:57.040 none of no religion. Bro.

But one of my dreams, Bronny, was hoping 2:21:06.920 --> 2:21:12.080 that you were going to do it today. Yo. Hold on, 2:21:12.160 --> 2:21:14.800 this really happened in real life. Let me tell y'all, BRO. 2:21:14.879 --> 2:21:18.040 I actually called ll Cooja to actually Bro because I 2:21:18.440 --> 2:21:19.960 really wanted to talk to them on how to do 2:21:20.040 --> 2:21:21.920 this shit the right way. I was in an interview 2:21:22.000 --> 2:21:26.080 BRO with a very established woman's magazine, and I'm talking 2:21:26.160 --> 2:21:28.520 to this lady Bro the same way that we're talking now, Bro, 2:21:28.840 --> 2:21:32.800 and I just looked at her and she said to me, 2:21:33.280 --> 2:21:36.200 she folded over in the middle of the motherfucking interview. 2:21:36.360 --> 2:21:39.600 I said, this sex some with shit works. But what 2:21:39.680 --> 2:21:42.880 I'm saying though, is that hold on, listen. This is 2:21:42.920 --> 2:21:45.360 important to me. I want to be I want to 2:21:45.400 --> 2:21:49.160 be our children superhero, not just in movies, but in 2:21:49.280 --> 2:21:50.560 real life. That's fun. 2:21:50.720 --> 2:21:50.840 You know. 2:21:51.000 --> 2:21:54.000 I remember our uncles, Bro, the ones that was the 2:21:54.080 --> 2:21:56.840 carpenters and shit, Bro with them big ass hands, eighty 2:21:56.959 --> 2:21:59.480 years old. You know, the motherfuckers that's on top of 2:21:59.520 --> 2:22:06.000 the motherfucker houses. I honestly want to make our culture 2:22:06.040 --> 2:22:07.800 proud of me, Bro, and I want to do it 2:22:07.840 --> 2:22:09.080 the right way. I want to be one of the 2:22:09.160 --> 2:22:12.640 few black men that get these billions of dollars and 2:22:12.720 --> 2:22:15.440 don't turn his nose up at the culture. You can ask. 2:22:16.800 --> 2:22:19.880 You can ask. My publishers were thank you, Bro, My 2:22:19.920 --> 2:22:23.000 publishers right now. I told her. Did I not say 2:22:23.040 --> 2:22:24.800 this to say it loud so they can hear you? Sidney, 2:22:25.080 --> 2:22:26.640 Didn't I tell you that I wanted to go back 2:22:26.680 --> 2:22:30.119 to my people before I blow up? Yes, I said, 2:22:30.120 --> 2:22:32.920 I want to go back to black culture. I know 2:22:33.040 --> 2:22:35.440 what I'm about to do. It's already done. The shit 2:22:35.520 --> 2:22:38.160 that I'm about to do is already done. I know 2:22:38.240 --> 2:22:40.240 where I'm about to go. I said, let's go back 2:22:40.280 --> 2:22:43.840 to black media first, because most black people want to 2:22:43.959 --> 2:22:45.920 leave and they want to be over there with the 2:22:45.959 --> 2:22:48.680 mother folks and wonder why they get strung up, wonder 2:22:48.760 --> 2:22:51.800 why they lose their careers, and wonder why they sacrifice. 2:22:51.959 --> 2:22:54.080 I said, let's go back and pick our people up. 2:22:54.600 --> 2:22:57.400 And instead of me getting popular and separating myself with 2:22:57.480 --> 2:22:59.400 black people, and let me take black people with me. 2:23:00.040 --> 2:23:01.840 Name is David Banner. I'm an honor to be on 2:23:01.959 --> 2:23:07.600 Drink Chaps. I love y'all appreciate y'all, how long are 2:23:07.640 --> 2:23:10.720 you taking hand? I want to say, y'all, I was 2:23:10.760 --> 2:23:14.120 on a raw vegan diet. Yes, I promised myself that 2:23:14.200 --> 2:23:15.800 I was going to be I'm gonna get off blood 2:23:15.840 --> 2:23:18.320 pressure pills this month. I'm tired of that shit. I've 2:23:18.320 --> 2:23:20.520 been on this shit since I'm twenty seven. I was 2:23:20.600 --> 2:23:23.120 walking around with my blood pressure over two hundred on 2:23:23.200 --> 2:23:25.640 the top. I'm talking about people. I used to go 2:23:25.720 --> 2:23:27.280 to the doctor and the doctor used to not want 2:23:27.320 --> 2:23:30.080 to let me out because my blood pressure was so high. 2:23:31.000 --> 2:23:32.840 I said, I'm gonna be off of those pills. So 2:23:32.920 --> 2:23:35.480 I went raw vegan and my my fucking blood pressure 2:23:35.480 --> 2:23:38.160 went down forty points on the top. And this is 2:23:38.160 --> 2:23:39.880 the first time in my life that my blood pressure 2:23:39.959 --> 2:23:42.200 was actually low. So I got to keep it low 2:23:42.360 --> 2:23:44.600 for another three weeks and then I could start getting 2:23:44.600 --> 2:23:48.760 off these pills. Just because of y'all, I came on 2:23:48.879 --> 2:23:52.800 here and drank. I wasn't eating meat, but I said 2:23:52.840 --> 2:23:55.360 that I ate last night because I didn't want to 2:23:55.400 --> 2:23:58.520 be weak when I got on run Champs.
