That's northern California, and I 41 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: live in southern California. And if anybody who is listening 42 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: knows anything about the state of California, the North versus 43 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: the South, there's always this this competitive energy between the two. 44 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: I went to u c. L A, and a lot 45 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: of my friends from the Bay, Northern California, came to 46 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: u C l A. And that's where I met them. 47 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: And I have such an affinity from folks from the Bay. 48 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: They have this really good style about themselves. They chill, 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: They hella cool. That word hella is in the Bay. 50 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: I use it all the time.

I don't like that most 52 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: of them feel like people in southern California are phony 53 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: and fake and and all that other stuff, and I'm like, 54 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: that's just not true. Those those might be the people 55 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: who move here.

I E. Kerry champion. Um, so 59 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: we would always have in colleges back and forth. But 60 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: what we did I disagree about was one forty or 61 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: too short for that matter, but we did not disagree 62 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: about forty. And to have him as a guest on 63 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: the podcast brings back a lot of memories. But I 64 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: also love that. And you you all may know this, 65 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: What are this Mount Westmore? Right? It's snoop, it's E forty, 66 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: it's too short, it's ice cube. They coming together and 67 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: they're creating like it's the best rappers of the West. 68 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: It's a Mount Westmore and we'll talk about it. So 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: that'll be interesting to see what they ultimately planned to 70 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: do with the new group that's coming out. But um, 71 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: E forty. We get into his isms, which I think 72 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: he needs to trademark. I literally have listened to this 73 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: man talk. I have no idea what he's saying. And 74 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: the fact that I can admit that without shame is okay. 75 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: But if anybody from the Bay was here, they'd have 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: an attitude with me. They were like, he's saying translate 77 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: and You're just like, okay, good for you, glad you know. 78 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: But by way of background, you guys know he's known 79 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: for his albums, like we know all the stuff he's done. 80 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: Tell me when to go, tell me when to go. 81 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: I can't curse. I'm kidding. He's had some really really 82 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: good hits where you guys just like, all right, I'm 83 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: with you, but beyond music, Seriously, the reason why he's 84 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: been able to have longevity outside of music is because 85 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: he has become such a successful businessman. And I'm like, yo, 86 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: how in the world were you able to do that? 87 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: And for me, he's done it quietly.

I was not that familiar. I was surprised. 91 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: I was upset with myself. But that's okay, uh, I 92 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: am now familiar.

Earl Stevens is legitimately doing what 502 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: he has been meant to do, and that is just 503 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: be an artist, be creative, be a businessman. But when 504 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: I think about his place or his legacy, if you will, 505 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: it belongs on Mount Rushmore, which is where I'm leading 506 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: corny transition, but true during the pandemic, he came up 507 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: with this idea.

What's interesting is is that they all have 511 00:25:54,160 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: been able to pivot, to reinvent themselves. And there's a 512 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: generation that may not even know that ice Cube was 513 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: a rapper. In fact, I believe that generation could say, oh, 514 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: that's an actor who used to wrap back in the day. 515 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily familiar whoever you are.

This show is called Naked. 720 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: I was ready to have some juice that made my 721 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: parts tingle. But I don't really need no juice to 722 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 1: do that. But okay, t um by um Earl steven sr. 723 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,919 Speaker 1: If I would be in the store seriously, I'm telling 724 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: you all this. I know somebody listening to this podcast 725 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: has had some Earl Stevens right you in the story 726 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: like this sounds fancy. I'm gonna buy somebody Earl Stevens 727 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: and take it to my boot. This's Earl Stevens moscatto. 728 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: Let me get some of that, this Earl Stevens Rose. 729 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: Let me get something at um. I would do it. 730 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure you have. I'm sure it tastes well. He 731 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: did not again send me anything for my parts. I 732 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,919 Speaker 1: don't need it again. But that leads me to this thought. 733 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: When you think of somebody where you think of rappers 734 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: more specifically who necessarily aren't in the game that way anymore, Right, 735 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: you're not. He's not the drake of it all anymore. 736 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: You wonder what they're doing, and you hope that they're 737 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: making smart decisions and that they're financially stable, and they 738 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: are they really truly are not all of them, right, 739 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: that's not the case for everyone. But when you look 740 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: at someone like forty and you hear that he invested 741 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: in Clubhouse early on, and he invested in the Ring 742 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: app early on, and that he has this this liquor 743 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 1: line that is really successful. That stem from when he 744 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: was in college and why he loved to drink so much. 745 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it just makes sense. Don't always judge or 746 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: think you know what someone is doing if it's not 747 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: on social media and if they're not hot, and if 748 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: they're not popping. I say that all the time. People 749 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: come to me like, well, how do you feel. You 750 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: don't on TV anymore, And I'm like, gonna feel good. 751 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: I feel great, I'm fine, I'm living. I'm living amazingly 752 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: um and not even bragging. I'm just living. I'm still 753 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. Because you don't have to 754 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: do it the way it's always been done. Forty is 755 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: a living example of that. We're seeing it every single day. 756 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: People are making their own way without the help of 757 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: someone else. They're creating their own way. And so when 758 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: you hear that someone like forty is out here hustling 759 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: in a way at which I had never thought, I 760 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: always get inspired. I get inspired. I have things like 761 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: I want to share with you guys right now. I 762 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: want to tell you how about what I got coming 763 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: up next. I can't do it Jews yet, but soon enough. 764 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: But I'm like, yes, just because you don't know. Don't 765 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: mean it ain't happening. It just means you don't know, 766 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. I really appreciate you guys listening 767 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,760 Speaker 1: to this addition of naked. It really truly is special. 768 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: Don't only get some of that juice that makes your 769 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: ladies if you're listening, there's Jews that makes your parts tingle. 770 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: That's a quote. By the way, have a good day.
