49
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,280

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, thankful. Well, you know the thing about it

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: is that this is you know, rapping lot of records

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: if if anybody does not know, it's based in Houston, Texas,

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: and uh well his property that we were talking about

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: also right outside of Houston, Texas. And uh but when

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: you but when you bought it, it turned out to

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: be an investment for you. This this given every year

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: at an annual high profit rate. Correct that one thousand acres?

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, yeah, uh and that was one of the reasons. Uh,

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, I looked at several ranches, several pieces of profity,

60
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: and it was this one stood out the most to

61
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: me because it was a business and it's basically paid

62
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: for itself, you know, I feel uh hey. And also

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the black angles cattle on the ranch, you know, it

64
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: produces a quarter million a year. Okay, now let's go

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: back to hide. It all started because I'm from fifth Wards.

66
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that, James. I'm from

67
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: fifth War thirty and fifteen Main Street, right there on

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the corner a Russell and Bain Street. That's where I

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: grew up, grew up in my six sisters, two brothers,

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: lived in a two bedrooms shotgun house. And to be

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: on the national radio from with a fellow young man

72
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: from the hoods of the streets of Field, for I

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: think it's a blessing for both of us, my friends. Oh,

74
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, that's right. The harder than that now,

75
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: you know what you know? You know, you know I

76
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: knew he was cut your man. I when I knew

77
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: you was cutry when I started reading about you were

78
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: selling warm chicken eggs in the hood. Yeah, yeah, I

79
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: definitely a dollar, doesn't you know what I mean? I

80
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: had they had country boards that lived on that street

81
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: and they were sent me to the store for him

82
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: all the time to buy eggs and realizes that I

83
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: could be the one to sell them that eggs. You

84
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: could buy a hold chicken for a dollar. Back then,

85
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm investing some of these chickens. And

86
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: these chickens, you know, a few eggs, a dozen a

87
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: belt a week, and band I became an egg entrepreneur.

88
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: But you always saw the value. Like I said, a

89
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: lot of people call the street hustle because they only

90
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: say that because the individual lives in a community, like

91
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: an urban environment. You don't hear the word street hustle

92
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: if you don't live in the hood. That's just you

93
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: just taking advantage of a situation that you saw profitability,

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: a sell ability, and accountability. You said, people need eggs.

95
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: I know how to get eggs. Let me sell these eggs.

96
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: And guess what, there was people out there buying your eggs.

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: But that's how you laid out your whole life, correct, Yeah,

98
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, between the eggs and diversified and went

99
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: to cutting yards and you know what I mean. It

100
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: went on and on. I was only like eight nine

101
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: years old and uh, I had several jobs that worked

102
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: on the back of the wealth and truck. You know, man,

103
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: I was I just enjoying having money. I had this

104
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: uncanny love for money at the age of eight years old.

105
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: And you know, at all begun with me. I want

106
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: to break the poverty curse, you know where my family

107
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: was concerned. But you though, you stand, you though, remember

108
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: you you just count money, but you wouldn't feed yourself.

109
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: You must have read about that whooping I got ye. Yeah, yeah,

110
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: I got a whooping. Mm hmm, yeah, I got a

111
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: whooping because I had a pocket full of money and

112
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: I was waiting on my grandmother to come home from

113
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: work because I was hunger. I had a pocket money.

114
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: So after she cooked, you know, I went to jump

115
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: in and got all kinds of energy and went to

116
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: stunting and pull out that bank roll I had. Yeah,

117
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: I gotta go whoping. They don't shoot this kind of

118
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: money pocket and be too standard and feed yourself. And

119
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: I thought that was very Uh that's that's that's that's

120
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: a very understatement, you know. And I think that your

121
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: whole life when I when I read your book from

122
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: cover to cover, um, starting with the fact that you

Speaker 1: know you does anybody really know that that James Prince,

124
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560

00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: hard business man, they said, you're very calculated. I remember

126
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: when I met you outside my comedy club I called

Speaker 1: really want to meet it. Once he got shot, Now

158
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,960

162
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: that allowed me to understand that you were a humble guy.

163
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: That's why I took away when I met you, a

164

Speaker 1: humble guy. A successful guy, but you're very humble and

165
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: I think that that's that's the quality, the that that

166
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: that stands out the most when I tell people about

167
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: my experience and community, can't you because you were this

168

169
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: of your success at that little run there. Everybody knew

171
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: and then the fact when you came into my comedy club,

172
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: it was like it was buzzing James, James in the

00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: he's the only superstar came in my comedy club. Come on,

176
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: not right, you know, But that but that humbleness is

177
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: what carries you today. Correct. Oh yeah, you know, I'm

178
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: a I'm a man that you know. I definitely believe

179
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: in giving respect, you know what I mean. I believe

180
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: in order to receive it, you have to give it.

181
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: And you know I give it and as you stated,

182
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I earned it, and being

183
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: is different places in my life, I demand it, so

184
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, uh, And I wrapped all of that around humility,

185
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I haven't forgotten where I

186
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: came from and I don't know exactly where I'm going.

187
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, the thing about it is that we're

Speaker 1: your career. You got to talk about Drake. You know

193
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: that was instrumental and uh, because I never understood why Drake,

194
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, always called Houston home. And it really came

195
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: home to me when I read the book and how

196
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: your son was inspirational. Uh, the reason for Drake being Drake,

197
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: and I broke through your visionary because you didn't see him,

198
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: but your son saw your son, say everybody, little Wayne

199

Speaker 1: gives back to the community and a lot of people

204
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,360

Speaker 1: Florida ship in the country. They gave him a day,

210
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: two thousand sel because he gives back to the community

211
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,480

00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: it's the stuff that's some big valley stuff. You know.

215
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know they had thousand because they was passing

00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: out around the Houston area. But this black man, this

Speaker 1: boy from fifth War, this ghetto boy, they got a

218
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: thousand because and he's selling hey. He said, hey, now,

219
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,120

Speaker 1: Anger's cattle, angles cat. He was not just regular cator,

221
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: He's said in this bio Angers. So he got the

224
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: it throwing James? Did you give it back to the community?

225
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: Make because you're raised in that community. You can walk away, man,

226
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: you don't even live in the community, man, But you

227
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: keep giving back. WI Is that so important? Well? You know,

228
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: let me correct one thing before I answer that question.

229
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: They they on two lot of six. They gave me

230
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: another thing or you know, I got so they didn't

231
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: took me from one to two days, you know what

232
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean. I'm thankful for that. And I chose to

233
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: spend uh feeding the homeless and closing the homeless on

234
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: my day, you know what I mean. That's the way

235
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: I spent that day. But it's important for me to

236
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: get back where I'm from, man, because you know, I

237
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: couldn't totally be who I am today without my community.

238
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: You know, I believe that my community shaped and mold

239
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, played a real instrumental role in shaping and

240
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: molding my character to who I am today. You know

241
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: what I mean. For me to uh walk away from

242
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: that and not want to contribute to those uh you

243
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: know in my community is like a slap in the

244
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: flake face to me. You know what I man, I

245
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: don't understand no man that make it an abandoned, totally

246
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: abandoned where they're from. And you know, as you said,

247
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: I had all kinds of individuals to tell me I

248
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't go back, I should do this. I'm picking a law,

249
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And my thing to them

250
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: is I'd rather be dead than to abandon the field?

251
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: Who are I know that's right. I know that's right.

252
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: And brother, I'm right there with you. That's why I

253
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: told you I would let everybody knows it's a fifth

254
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: four twins on this call right now, two boys that

255
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: within the hood, and they call us statistics. You know,

256
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: we're not supposed to get out. I'm not gonna lay

257
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: out everything on this show. Read the book because the

258
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: book is worth reading because it lays out that that's

259
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: how you get that reputation of Okay, you you know James,

260
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: you know he's rough to talk to it just because

261
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: he asked, well, you're supposed to be getting he asked for.

262
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: And then if he and if you say it kind

263
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: of slow, he's gonna rough it up a little bit

264
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: in tone, because sometimes you gotta rough it up a

265
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: little bit in tone because people, just especially the entertainment game,

266
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they're puts you right to the

267
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: side of the wall and keep walking. Now, if you

268
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: let them keep keep on that, keep you on that wall,

269
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: guess what, they're gonna keep walking by you. And that's

270
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: what really what still out of me about reading your

271
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: book is that individuals, whether it's corporations, uh, high high

272
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: level management, lawyers, rappers, boxers, you always came back and

273
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: got the truth out of them, James to say, Man, Okay,

274
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: you don't want to do business like that, but you

275
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: owe me. Right, let's gonna meet that first. Because once

276
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: you got them to say they owed you, then gets

277
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: what they had to pay you. Right. Yeah, yeah, you

278
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: know and sometimes you know, you admit to oh and

279
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: you and they're no, they owe you, and you still

280
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: man twist them or do some creative things, you know

281
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: what I mean? But I do I do for saying

282
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: I do believe even the what, when, where and how

283
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: uh situation? You know what I mean, strut of whatever

284
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to accomplish, You know what I mean. I

285
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: believe in asking those questions and being from now I'm execute.

286
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: And that's why I loved about it. And I want

287
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs to hear that, because this shows about entrepreneurship motivation,

288
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: taking away your success and letting everyday people realize that

289
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: it could be applied for them. And then the beauty

290
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: of this here's the thing about everybody talks about the

291
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: vision boards, talking about right down your idea. That's the

292
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,239
Speaker 1: big thing. Now in his book he shows you handwritten

293
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: notes in the end, he shows you handwriting notes that

294
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: he wrote that he had a vision, I'm gonna do this,

295
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this, and when he did it, he

296
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: checked it off. That had to be the inspiration for

297
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: this book. Man, that even back then, you had a

298
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: plan and you stuck to it. James, Yeah, now I did,

299
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: and and and you know it was at one point

300
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: I used to keep everything in my head because I

301
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: didn't know the real power of writing it down and

302
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: looking at it every day, you know what I mean.

303
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't gather that until I read the

304
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: book Think and Grow Rich and and I understood just

305
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: a little more the concept of writing a goal down,

306
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: the concept of prioritizing things with structure, and I started

307
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: executing it in that manner. And you know it was

308
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: me executing on steroids at that point, absolutely, because that

309
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: was the reason you took over rapping a lot of records.

310
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: You started you saying, look, I want to I want

311
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: to show how I can run it. You know, because

312
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: after you read that book, it gave you the step,

313
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: the plane of action that you could do this The

314
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: thing I like about is that, you know they always

315
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: tell people. You can tell your kids not to listen

316
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: to something, you can, but if they listen right, they

317
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: could also be equally successful. That that comes into situation.

318
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: You didn't allow Wrap Mused to be played in your house,

319
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: But then you're so right. Your son discovered one of

320
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: the most influential rap talents in our generation. And Drake,

321
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: and then when he brought him to you, you didn't

322
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: understand it. When he brought him to Little Wayne, he

323
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: didn't get it either, but that didn't stop him because

324
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: he got that same quality that you got. James. Oh yeah, yeah, No,

325
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. And and my efforts was and I

326
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: and I fail it worked is do it with balance,

327
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I think everything has to

328
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: be done with balance, because sometimes when you just let

329
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: him go being they're consumed at twenty four seven and

330
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: and by me, you know, keeping balance. I think even

331
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: what Jazz was concerned, he didn't like uh lean too

332
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: far with the hardcore raph or so he was able

333
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: to hear or something where Drake was that I couldn't

334
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: even hear, you know, I mean I couldn't even hear

335
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: because I had program in my mind to be so,

336
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, often to the gamester side a rap until

337
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't hear that commercial crossover thing that her breaks concerned.

338
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: You know, before I go with this in the ind

339
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: this interview, I gotta give you your conversation about Floyd Mayweather.

340
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I gotta give you credit man, you know,

341
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: uh you you you got them start in that direction

342
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: reworked as HBO deal. And so just tell us about

343
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: that experience, because there's so many things in the book

344
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: that I want people to read. I want people to

345
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: buy The Art and Science of Respect by James Prince Um.

346
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: He's one of the greater historians of rap music. From

347
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,239
Speaker 1: the standpoint of when you read the book, it's like

348
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: a it's like a lesson of how to do it right.

349
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: But just tell us, in short about your experience with

350
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: our Floord Mayweather and uh and let's we wrap this

351
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: up on a high note, my friend. Yeah, well, you know,

352
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: of course, I build a recreations center and and full

353
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: court basketball, uh, the gym, the weight rowan, the computer room,

354
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: and then I build a boxing gym all on the

355
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: same piece of property in fifth War and boxing has

356
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: always been my first love, and after observing the amateurs

357
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: in the boxing gym, I decided, you know, I said, okay,

358
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: it's time for me to get back in the boxing.

359
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: And you know I did. I I remember, you know,

360
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: praying and actually the Lord to bless me with the

361
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: champion because every goal, everything I ever trying to accompass

362
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: in life, I prayed first before I executed faith. So

363
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, I went on to set up a meeting

364
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: with Mike Tyson in Las Vegas. Went to went to

365
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: Las Vegas watching Mike Tyson in the gym spawing, and

366
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: Floude Maywell to have to come in the gym as well.

367
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: So you know, Floyd kept coming to me trying to

368
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: hold a conversation, and eventually he left his number with

369
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: me and say, man, you want to do something to night,

370
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: give me a call. So I went home with Mike

371
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: Tyson to have a meeting with him that afternoon, and

372
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: you know, eventually Mike got his wife on the phone

373
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: and you know, Mike, tomay, I want Pressed to be

374
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: a part of my team. So I went on back

375
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: to my role later on that night and got up

376
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: the next day thinking I was gonna go in visible

377
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: with Mike Tyson before I left or whatnot, and his

378
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: phone was not working, you know what I mean. I

379
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: think his manager or whatever that guy named was disconnected

380
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: the phone. So I was left with Mayweather nom and

381
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I asked my friend, I say, uh, who is this guy?

382
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: And he told me said, oh, that's flawed. Maywell a

383
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pole champion. At that point, you know,

384
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: a red light went off in my head because I say, man,

385
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: I prayed for a champion. Tyson ain't no champion at

386
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't a champion at the time. He's just the

387
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: number one box in the world. So bam. Within a

388
