0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, to make other positions. I don't think a

<v Speaker 1>lot of people know you had a lot of executive

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>roles in your career. I did. I did, and you

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 1>know it's it's it's different from me DJO. Yeah. I

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>mean I took some roles because you know, I did

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a bid with DJ and and you know, certain things,

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to get in and really learn the

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>business and get out, you know what I mean. I

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>got in. You know, I took a position at def

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>JAM early in twenty twelve vp an R. And when

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I took that position, you know, I tell the story

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 1>at the time, I lifted the hood up and I

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh they got nitrogen, Okay, cool, you know

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>what I'm here And that's what you know, helped me

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>learn a lot of things I didn't know, Like I

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>had a publishing deal prior to that, but you produced,

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I produced, And when I got to deaf Jam, I

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, Hey, what don't I know you know, you know,

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.400

<v Speaker 1>I need to know those things in order to advance.

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>So that was you know, the exact roles, just having

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that on, you know, on your shoulder. And a lot

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of us don't want to do that because a lot

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of us looked at as bad people when we step

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>in building and do things, you know, the respect level

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>goes down. But you know, fortunate, you know, I held

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>my head high. Was good. How did you get to

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a JEF jam? They actually came and saw me? You

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? Yeah, it was DJ and producing.

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>But I tell you like a little inside story and

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you know some of the guys a test too of

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>rich On M. Kuam was one of the first dudes

<v Speaker 1>Harmony Um for New York and you know that was

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>one of those things that I really wanted to bring

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 1>to the building. Um. I actually missed out on those deals.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I was a little too late on one with a

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>SAP and then Richilmei Kwan was already with tig Um,

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 1>and then I wanted to do Iggy Azelia, which I

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.040

<v Speaker 1>move the ship. So how long did you stay there?

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I did a three year um turn with them, and

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the reason why I came out of it, it's because

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to come back to Atlanta. I was in

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>LA at the time. I wanted to come back to

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta and lived in Yeah. I love in La. Yeah,

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>j Elijah uh La was cool. Um, I like it

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to visit more in my East Coast person. Um, my

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>family's here, you know. And I was also DJ, and

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>people don't know, like just get your insider than DJAN.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>When you're getting flown to different cities the DJ, it's

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>really hard to get back to Charlotte or Texas or Miami,

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, with the prices. So I felt like some

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>of my DJ gigs that I was doing monthly didn't

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>want to fly me from LA to get back to

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>these you know cities, and it just was, you know,

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>wearing tear on me, trying to pay for it out

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>of my pocket. You're trying to still make that you know,

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>club day in Atlantic City. So I just had to

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>make a you know, I had to make a transition

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>back to the A so I can just be in

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a triangle Atlanta, La, New York and back so I

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>can just got Spirit now. I don't know how long

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>because trying to buy Spirit right now. And you know,

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>if Jet Blues buy Spirit, it won't be as cheap anymore.

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 1>So in the government need the least spirit alone, man. Heard.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>If that happens, they're going to upgrade the plane. Yeah,

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>so it will be classes in the man. They need

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the least spirit alone, man. Well, the government is trying

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>to stop it right now. They need the least spirit alone, man,

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>because Jet Blue is on a great job being Jet Blue.

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Spirit is Spirit is crazy, bro. I've been on Spirit

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 1>planes where they flew in a whole different airport. For real,

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to go to Texas. I was in Orlando.

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.600

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>we had to fly the plane. We had a little issues,

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>so we had to. We're laying here. I'm like, man,

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 1>but you know those days I was trying to be cheap.

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:23.200

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>much going on. So I wanted to see more mentorship

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>because I can't blame Homie, Like I see a lot

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>of people on there just saying, man, he's a fool,

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and you making money. You ain't the streeting on a suburb.

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>these guys need to get, you know, some help with

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. And you know, I'm glad that he got

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>off because this is, you know, hopefully the last time

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>he has to get involved in something that's you know,

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>this deep. And keep in mind they took away to

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie Shoe and they gave him a shoot. NICKI. Yeah,

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and only thing Kyrie did was posted a book. You

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying? Okay, all right? Create three star

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Majors to play Dennis Rodman in the film fortyen

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Hours in Vegas. Many I burned Jonathan Mayors out. Do

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.199
<v Speaker 1>you remember the Hours in Vegas? Remember this? Yeah? When

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I've heard the story when they when you had to

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>go get him. He was with Karma Letcher and you know,

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Jordan was like, hey, man, Dennis Rodman was off the

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>chain back then. Yeah, he can a big story. Go

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to the wrestling match. Yeah, the wrestling match, got married.

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna be a wild uh. The documentary, that's

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna be crazy. And dudes playing he looked just like him.

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Definitely favor she was liking. Yeah, you know, he a

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>great actor, so he's probably gonna get all into character

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 1>with the hair. When you said that, I immediately went

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to the picture on Ebony with the roses and with

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the COVID. Yeah, get them ear rings and them sunglasses over.

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna lose. I feel like he probably needs to

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 1>lose aesome weight too, because he kind of buff. Yeah

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.959
<v Speaker 1>he can't, Yeah he can, he can lose a couple.

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>But he looked just like it. Yeah. Now you're a

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>big Lakers fan fan or both. I'm a Lakers fan.

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>So I started liking Kers. Okay, So I give you

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.439
<v Speaker 1>a short story. When I was growing up, like the

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 1>seventy six is, Charles Barkley was my favorite player. Everybody

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody like Jordanlly, I liked Charles Barkley. When he got

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>traded mean Prime out of there, I said, yo, I

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>would never watch the Sixers again. And all they recruited

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.319
<v Speaker 1>with Sean Bradley, and I was like, bro, we had

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Charles Barkley, Like what's going on? Yeah, So I just

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>stopped watching the Sixers for a little bit. Uh. In

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>high school, we played against Kobe Bryant a lot, you

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. I knew his father, he coached

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>this and some playground. Yeah, so so cope was you know,

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.319
<v Speaker 1>he'd become all these games his sister played. Um, so

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>they were like what I wanted to be when I

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>used to watch him train at seat watch Kobe in

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 1>high school. Yes, wow, that's crazy. So I always say

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>this thing about I played with him, so I didn't

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>play on his team so many I used to play

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 1>against Kobe. Yeah, and people don't believe me, but anybody

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>will tested it. Like his one league called the Sunny

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Hill League, and we would go down there and that's

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>where he would be at. So our team would play

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they'll pick mismatch, but he would be at the

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.319
<v Speaker 1>school called Saint Joe's University was a college, and he

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>will shoot a thousand jump shots. So when we left

0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the AU tournaments and stuff like that, I would like

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.559
<v Speaker 1>on the gym and people be in the stand just

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.199
<v Speaker 1>watching them, like practice by myself shoot thousand. He went

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>straight out of high school. Yeah, he was crazy. So

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>when he got drafted, I was like, damn, I'm gonna

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>be a hornete you know, or Lando Magic fan. Then

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 1>they wound up being the Lakers. I was like, I'll

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>rock with the Lakers. And since ninety six I was

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>rocking with the Lakers. Okay, playing at that time, did

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you ever have your own hoop dreams? I did. I

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't good. I was flat foot it sometimes you know what,

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I never said this to you on you know a

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of people in high industry are kind of short.

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>You might be the TA tallest, DJ tallest, like you

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>had to bend down to walk in the door. Yeah,

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>test done Canada six seven And I can hoop a

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit. That's what I'm saying. I'm good like when

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you go out here. But I'm only saying that towards

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.319
<v Speaker 1>like if I'm out there Trey Young here, I can't hoop.

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. If you know college players,

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't hoop. If we industry, I can hoop. I'm

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna get y'all thirty. So you like, you're like you

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 1>like the LA fitness balling, Yeah, but Lifetime probably like

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>matches fitness. But they're trying to go to the league.

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, brother, you forty, you're gonna league? Now. I

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 1>value every time all that scratching and on that. I'm cool.

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Are the Lakers making the playoffs? Number one and two?

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Two questions? Are the Lakers making the playoffs? And I

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>know you're gonna say some B team and are they

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna If they do, are they gonna make it out

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the first round. They will not make the playoffs, still

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>make the play in right, So the playing is goofy

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.719
<v Speaker 1>because I still don't know. If you lose, you might

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.319
<v Speaker 1>be out. You lose twet the bronze, you know what

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. So I don't think they'll make it to

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. We have too many we have the jail

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>first with the new team, and we have too many injuries.

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the whole game for the Lakers is riding

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on eighty you know what I mean. Like the new editions,

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I do. I love the new editions. I like d Low.

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a small player, all the young guys.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I like Reeves, He's crazy. Lebron is the greatest basketball

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>player to ever live in my opinion. Um, but I

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 1>think the Lakers have a little bit more time on

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 1>their hands before we get back in death. You know.

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want them to discredit our our a ring

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty one, Like, come on, Dawk, I don't discredited.

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody discredited. But you know what I

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>think that h No, I love, I love the Lakers,

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>but I keep I keep it, I keep it real.

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>They should have never let Lebron try to be the gym.

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Let him be the great basketball. You don't make no decisions?

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes he does. How did they get Russell? How did

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you get Mellow? He just that's Lebron said. These are

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>my friends and we're old and we all came up together.

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody not like you, Bro, I don't think so. I

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 1>think he's like, hey man, that would be a good look.

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I can play with anybody. That's how he's saying. He did.

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>GM would be like, we're getting this, we're doing that.

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 1>So you mean to tell me. You don't think Lebron

0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>is over there telling them go get him, go get Nah. No, no,

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you think they getting traded because when they get traded,

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 1>like he wouldn't get somebody to get traded, like he

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>won them before they made a bad decision, and then

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I think they was like, hey now we got to

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>be business people and we gotta get rid of them. Bro,

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 1>he's smart as hell. They don't really make them bad decisions. Okay,

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>you make no bad decisions. I just wish they started

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>off with this team that they have right now. I

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>wish they did too. Listen, all the players we should

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>have had, all of them, we should have been had. Uh,

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>what's my man over? Why should have d low? Y'all

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 1>should have had? Uh? Oh momok, like all those players

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 1>should have all those young core players should have already

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in position. They said, I did you hear about Sean

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Kemp being arrested after allegedly dri drive by shooting. Um

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>he was arrested. He three years old, by the way, UM,

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>two of them old dispute with another driver outside of

<v Speaker 1>uh Tacoma, Washington shopping mall on Wednesday, cops saying altercation

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>broke out between the two cars around two pm. According

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to the police dispatch, Witnesses claim Camp fired five to

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>ten shot at the other vehicle during the incident. Sources

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>tell Fox thirteen that Kemp was acting out of self defense.

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 1>He was attempting to retrieve a stolen item and when

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>someone opened fired him him. First, yeah, have y'all seen

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a video? First of all, Now I've seen a video

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>this morning, and first of all, didn't look like a

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>drive I look like he just started shooting at somebody. Yeah,

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, bro, you can't take that video. If

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>that video is on the video, yes, if that video

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>is real, then you can't take that. The court and said,

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's self defense. It's self defenses, you flee

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>in scene and having to defend yourself. But he didn't

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 1>look like he was scared at all. Yeah, I didn't

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 1>have enough information. I thought it was one of the

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 1>moves where you know, you have a registered gun and

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.440

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.000

<v Speaker 1>before he got hurt. Seattle's sumer Soignics. He used to

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>be one of the dopest players ever. He had so

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>much energy and he got hurt and it was rapp

<v Speaker 1>in this joint Stay tuned, Baby ball Look, welcome to

<v Speaker 1>in the building. We appreciate you hosting with us. Sir.

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Now you've been promoting this app called the Tomorrow App, Yes, sir,

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and of course CEO Generation Now, yes, sir. I would

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 1>love to talk about both at the same time, but

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that's not possible. So let's talk about the Tomorrow app. Tomorrow.

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 1>What is the Tomorrow app? And why is it spelled

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.480
<v Speaker 1>that way. It's the greatest thing for creatives to hit

0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the market in a long time. Man. This is a

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 1>market place app for creatives to make money and clients

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to find creatives. And the only reason I dove into

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 1>this is because when I go to speak in front

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>of people, a lot of people their first questions to

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 1>raise their hand and say, hey, how do I get on?

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I had no answer. All I can say is YO,

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:50.199
<v Speaker 1>just keep working hard, guy, gonna lead you away. I

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be able to give them something that they

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>can live by, and this is one of the things

0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that I created to live by you know what I mean.

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>My partner, Kayla, she also had a similar She was

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 1>working in the field and when our friends was a

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>designer and she was working on sets and things, but

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the jobs were, you know, in between. She had to

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 1>do with some door dashing just to keep the bills paid.

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>And we were just like, how do we keep people

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 1>in their field? How do we keep people working? There's

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>no marketplace for them to be where they can consistently work.

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>And the reason why we named it tomorrow because it's like,

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 1>not only work get paid as early as tomorrow. When

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 1>you get in these places, you don't get paid that fast.

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you get a net thirty, sometimes you get in

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that sixty net ninety. You're on DM with people, you

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>give them the good work, they go shoot, they don't

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 1>pay you. We wanted to start a portal to where

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you're in this marketplace and you do the work for somebody,

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.880
<v Speaker 1>The money goes into escrow and it sits there until

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the job is done. Once they hit bun the money

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.360
<v Speaker 1>is in your account. And that's where fiber fever whatever

0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>sort of you know, fiber is a little bit more broad.

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.880
<v Speaker 1>We're more focused on entertainment in the music business. When

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.639
<v Speaker 1>we first started, I had something really broad and we

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>were going after people that wanted to do photography of

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 1>weddings and stuff like that. But um, I got to

0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 1>a point where I was like, people were coming up

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to me like, how can I get the music business?

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I can music business. So that was another pain point

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of me saying, hey, let me offer this. This is

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>still a dream job for any buying the world. We've

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>made this culture for everybody to be a part of,

0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>from any you know, entertainment, lawyers, chefs now uh, producers, rappers, stylists,

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:37.360
<v Speaker 1>makeup artists, haircut people. Um barbaris. I'm sorry, um, but

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody liked case. So I made that and you know

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow it's like the big statement. It's like everything happens tomorrow,

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Obviously, if I said today,

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 1>I would be lying that you could get paid today.

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, you get paid tomorrow. So

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what I felt like. The name felt, you know,

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 1>good and just. I never told the story. When we

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.160
<v Speaker 1>first started, the app was called Connect and we were

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to get to a space where we connect to people.

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean. But then I was like, man,

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.359
<v Speaker 1>it's gotta be something about people getting paid. Like people

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.640
<v Speaker 1>don't get paid, you know, creatives, creatives do not get paid.

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.320
<v Speaker 1>And then clients that want to pay, like your client,

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you need to find somebody who does videography. You can

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 1>go in there and find somebody. Creatives can use the

0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.920
<v Speaker 1>app as a portfolio, like you can use the scan

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and just be like, Yo, this is my work. Check

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.719
<v Speaker 1>me out. You got your Spotify lengths. If you're a rapper,

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 1>you got your portfolio pictures, if you're you know, taking pictures.

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Everything's in there. Like it's just one of those things

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>that's just a vehicle for the future for creatives. And

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to bring

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that and just have that piece. I want to give

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 1>back to the community. I always talk about how much

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I've done in my career, but how much of that

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 1>has paid forward to creatives and you know, clients. Just

0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:58.919
<v Speaker 1>trying to help people connect. So that's my way of

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:03.120
<v Speaker 1>doing it. All right, Uh that's dope, And uh why

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>did you spell it like that? Is there any particular

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>way because it's no particular way. I just felt like, um,

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 1>uber is for letters, tomorrow. How can I make it

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 1>as simple as that is something that people could be like, Yo,

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 1>that's simple and it looks good. It's not all drawn out.

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 1>So I just wanted to be able to like have

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>it like you know, quit not crazy, you know what

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean? And is it available already? Yeah, it's been

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.880
<v Speaker 1>out two years. Um, you can get on there now.

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.040
<v Speaker 1>It's in the Apple Store. We're working on an Android

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 1>version for this year for the people. I've found out

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 1>through research that a lot of people use androids a

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.399
<v Speaker 1>lot more than people on iPhone. People were still on

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:47.399
<v Speaker 1>blackberries too before that game that got canceled. Yeah, all right,

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 1>so that's what that's what I'm wanting. I'm just you know,

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm surveying the scene and just getting into everybody needed. Well.

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you're here, man, because I always wanted to

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 1>ask you these questions. And I talked to Drama too,

0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that's my guy. But I wanted to talk to you

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:05.439
<v Speaker 1>about Generation now. Um Philly. Now, so you and Drama

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 1>from Philly, we're both from Phillies. Where's Lake show Flakes

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>from Los Angeles? Lake is from That's how he got

0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the lake? Cheasy? Okay, So how did you guys. I

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:15.359
<v Speaker 1>know that you guys were together. First of all, I

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 1>always wanted to fill this chance. I want to chance,

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I love I love the Phillis. How did you guys

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:26.359
<v Speaker 1>come together to form Generation Now? Generation Now first started

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:29.120
<v Speaker 1>as a mixtape in early two thousand and two three

0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and uh it was part like Gangster Grills was moving

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>so fast, but I think Drama didn't feel like everything

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.359
<v Speaker 1>fit under Against Girls brand, So we wanted to make

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a brand that like it just was a part of

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:47.159
<v Speaker 1>like the new upcoming people coming. People like Jay Mills,

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Corey Gunns, Kanye West, Joe Buttons. Those were all the

0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 1>guys we were breaking at the time. But everybody couldn't

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.880
<v Speaker 1>get against the girls. So we formulated the brand Generation

0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Now and even some of the Gangster girls, like I

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 1>think Killer Mike's Gangster Girls just like Gangster Girls, Killer

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Mike been in the corners like Generation Now. Addition, it

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>was like breaking a new artist, so I think we

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.760
<v Speaker 1>just we always dibble and dabble with the name. We

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 1>did some a couple more tapes, but Gangster Girls had

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 1>took so far off that we was like, okay, let's

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 1>just rock with you know, Gangster Girls and pushed behind it.

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.399
<v Speaker 1>We all had our separate brands. Trendsetter Sense was with us.

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 1>He had an R and B BRANDUM And as we

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 1>moved on, we just kind of like branched into you know,

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I branched into learning in the business. Drown was being

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a face. Lake was always around. He was bringing us

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 1>uh brown bags every now and then for you know,

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:45.919
<v Speaker 1>he's right, that's money. So he was moving around. Uh.

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>He was managing Mace and Freeway and just doing a

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff with corrupt and everybody. And he would

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 1>just always just be a part of this situation, you

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.239
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. M After I went to def

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>JAM and learned all the stuff that's going on with it,

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I came back home and I was like, man, how

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>can we set up another label? Um? So I was

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 1>in Philly, and this is one of the reasons why

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 1>to come back to Atlanta. I was able to still

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:14.720
<v Speaker 1>keep my jobs in Atlantic City Charlotte, DJ. And you

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. I went to Atlantic City one

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 1>day and on the drive from Philly it was about

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>fifty miles. I had the radio. I just checking on

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in Philly, just like to hear real rap.

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I heard this kid on radio going crazy. It would

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 1>happen to be Uz and uh, well, he was freestyling. Nah.

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:33.439
<v Speaker 1>He had a song. It was called the Real Ouzy,

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>but it felt like a freestyle and it was just

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 1>running it back, running it back, and I'm like, yo,

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:40.479
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is this? You know what I mean?

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I wind up calling the radio Diamond Cuts, which was

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 1>in the Academy Diamond Cuts, Yeah, with US DJ crew,

0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and she was like, yeah, it's this kid Ouzy. I'm

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 1>working he dope. I was like, yeah, I want to

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>meet him when I come back from Atlantic City to

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>go to Philly and I came back, I met him.

0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, kid was phenomenal. Was like, bro, I really

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:06.199
<v Speaker 1>do this, but I really, I'm a rock star from Yep.

0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm really a rock star. Bro, Like, I really know

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 1>what I'm doing. I'm gonna show you. And he was like,

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:12.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, just trying to use a vehicle to get there.

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I think at the time he started growing so fast,

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:18.600
<v Speaker 1>locals getting I think um Kanye had reached out to

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 1>him on favor you already already had him, not quite

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I was working on manager or Diamond Cuts manager, but

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't signed. He wasn't signed to a production company

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. I'm signed so Diamond Cuts and

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:37.160
<v Speaker 1>her husband they were managing them and just moving them around.

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>But I think Charlie Heat, I never mentioned his kid's name.

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Heat was a producer. He did some stuff with Kanye.

0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 1>He was working with Good Music. He was doing a

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of Ouzi's early beats, you know, with Molly row

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:49.680
<v Speaker 1>on him. And I think that he was making a

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>connection with Kanye. And I think that I went to

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>see Oozy a couple of times, and uh Philly, and

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>then I was like, yo, you need to come to Atlanta, bro, Like,

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 1>just come to Atlanta and see what we got going on,

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.680
<v Speaker 1>saying he was like he's just playing oh cool, yeah

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever he was. He was in this Philly mode. And

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>then when I got in to Atlanta, he was like, yo,

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>um what we're doing? Bro? Like I already know what

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>you do? Like, like what do we do? He like

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:18.639
<v Speaker 1>pressed yeah, but yeah, he like what's going on? Like

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:21.680
<v Speaker 1>come on? He was like, yeah, I'm gonna go to Philly.

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:23.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna grab some clothes, I'm coming back down here.

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 1>But I had no way of getting in touch with him,

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>so I remember just going to store and just buying

0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>my phone, like Hunt, take that back home with you.

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:33.159
<v Speaker 1>We're staying in touch, and the rest is history. He

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:35.400
<v Speaker 1>came down. I went to the guys and I told

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Lake and John. First I told John, I said, Yo, bro, listen,

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 1>we need to do this shit over again. You know

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. I don't know if John was interested.

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I already say that I didn't feel like he wanted

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to get back into a label space because so much

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, heartbroken stuff that that we've been through with it.

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>But when I played him, he was like, man, let's

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 1>do it, and you know, the rest is history. Lake

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.680
<v Speaker 1>was always around. He put in you know, blood, sweat

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and tears. He was first one like, listen, bro, I'm

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:04.359
<v Speaker 1>trying to change my life. I got this amount of

0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:06.160
<v Speaker 1>money I'm ready to put in and just rock out.

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>He was the one who did it. Was it really

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a gut punch when um it was? He left the generation. Now,

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:14.159
<v Speaker 1>he didn't let relieve, you know, left he kind of

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 1>with you all now. Yeah, so I don't explain what

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:20.960
<v Speaker 1>he did. He went, he went and got management with

0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 1>rock Nation, but it was always put out there that

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>he left. He signed. Yeah, he was still signed to us,

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>he just had different management. So as of to this day,

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 1>he still signed with Generation. You know, you know he

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:36.040
<v Speaker 1>can't Yeah, you can't just leave. Yeah. Yeah. So when

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:37.920
<v Speaker 1>they were when they went into it, it was just,

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lot of the Internet was thriving. That's

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.399
<v Speaker 1>why you never seen us talk about it, because I

0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:45.920
<v Speaker 1>like how y'all handled that situation. Y y'all had a

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:48.879
<v Speaker 1>professional Yeah. I mean, it's all about the asset, and

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 1>we know we built and we're not gonna we're not

0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna ruin it over anything that's going on. Like I

0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 1>never bought into nobody's Internet. I never had to face

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:02.119
<v Speaker 1>nobody and say nothing. Even if I just wanted to

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 1>take out of the space that if I wanted to

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:06.440
<v Speaker 1>say something out there about how I felt, it wasn't

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like, oh he talking about Uzy, Oh he's

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 1>talking about this person. I don't want to be in

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>that space because I'm not that guy. Y'all didn't say anything. Yeah,

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes not saying yeah, it's nothing to say, especially when

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like we're living for the artist. The first thing

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>is the artist, that's the asset. We are the verising

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 1>network behind pushing the artist. Why get in front of

0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the train and stop it from moving when it's being

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the best asset it can be. Let's just figure out

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:33.879
<v Speaker 1>what it's going to be. And you know that it

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:36.200
<v Speaker 1>was from what was going on the internet. Some stuff

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>was painful, and you know there's conversations that you hear

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>and then you'd be you know, you move, but until

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 1>nobody we were all in the room and then nobody

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:47.240
<v Speaker 1>said nothing. Crazy. So it's like, want to just put

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>on a boxing just like? Man, I would love I

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:51.840
<v Speaker 1>would love to. But again you know what I'm saying.

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you know who we're gonna fight it with? This family?

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what family is, bro. I love to box everything

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that's I think that that is the key to autist.

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Put the blocks and gloves on this. Yeah, just like

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready for that. Yeah. Anything. So it's his contract

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 1>based off of albums or is it years? Say yes, albums?

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>No years? Yeah? Years is unfair. I mean if you

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:20.320
<v Speaker 1>got any deal that's based on years because somebody though, no,

0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not unheard of. But I mean, as an upstanding businessman,

0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't do unfair business. Two things. I ride on

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 1>doing fair business that anybody doesn't want to work with me,

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 1>you can walk. I don't want to be in business

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>with anybody. Don't want to be in business with me

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>because it's never gonna work. I want to I want

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 1>to be able to give you everything you need to

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 1>live your vision. And that's across the board. That's me

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 1>doing stocks, that's me doing anything. I don't want to

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 1>be in business with anybody. Didn't want to be in

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 1>business with me or my partners. We don't want to

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.640
<v Speaker 1>be in that space. We'll be right back stayed with

0:29:53.840 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>more of the Baller Alert Show. You're listening to a

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 1>special edition of The Paul Or Alert Show. Check it out, man,

0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the number one co sign of Don Cannon. You know

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm rocking with the family. Faul Alert Show were in

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 1>this joint. Stay tuned, baby. Did you guys think Jack

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Carlo would be as big as he is down? Oh yeah,

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I did um when I met him. So the funny

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 1>thing is I heard him around the same time because

0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 1>soon you graduated high school, came up to the station.

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I actually got suspended for two days having him come

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>freestyle on my show. You just graduated, he came up there,

0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and then I remember maybe twenty four hours later he

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 1>was here and R's bragging about him too, because I

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>remember when Jack Carlo was like, man, this jew can

0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:42.760
<v Speaker 1>really rap, and I'm looking at him like I literally

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>posted him a couple of days ago. Because he would

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:50.680
<v Speaker 1>come to compound with Wyatt and getting wasted. I would

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:52.720
<v Speaker 1>have to go get him for my side and he

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 1>would come in and he would like, for all, I'm

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:57.000
<v Speaker 1>just hanging out with you. That was my guy. Yeah,

0:30:57.080 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>he's still my guy now. But the funny thing is,

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and again you got an exclusive. I heard three songs

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>before he even came to meet us, and the three songs,

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 1>one of them was with our artists game, and like

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a couple of others at when I heard the songs,

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see urgent potential, you know what I mean.

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I did see urgent potential when he came to the office.

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Is when I seen urgent potential. He came in, he

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:29.480
<v Speaker 1>had his producer too for wine with him. They sat

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 1>down and it's the same thing over again. So I

0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:35.600
<v Speaker 1>have this thing where I see things and I know

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>what it's going to be because we saw it before.

0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:40.640
<v Speaker 1>He did the same thing. He's not oozy, but he

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 1>had the same conviction when he came to the office

0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to talk about how he was going to do this,

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 1>what he was built for, and what each and every

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>step he wanted to do. He was very intelligent and

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>he had his own producer, which was like his metro

0:31:57.160 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to the future. And I was like, man, this kid

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 1>got everything we need to do. We don't have to

0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:04.320
<v Speaker 1>do nothing, like we don't have to hold his hand,

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:07.400
<v Speaker 1>artist pay attention. All we have to do is groom

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>it and get it to where it's supposed to be.

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:11.600
<v Speaker 1>And that when he came to see us, that was

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the moment I felt like, Oh, this kid is urgent.

0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 1>And another thing with generation now. We never want to

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>sign two oozies. We never want to sign two Jacks

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 1>like people bring us. I got another Jack for y'all.

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:25.040
<v Speaker 1>We don't want that. These superstars are superstars on their own.

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 1>There's only one Jack Harlowe, There's only one Oozy verb

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 1>And to anybody that we extended help with Playboy Cardi,

0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 1>there's only one Playboy Cardi. You know what I mean us. Yeah,

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>one time I said, it's only one of these guys

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna leave. I'm not gonna sign to Columinatis,

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna see you know what I'm saying. Like

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the regular labels, they if it ain't broke, don't fix

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 1>it thousand percent. But some labels there's label heads want

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to get to Kevin Gates to you know, little Babies,

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to City Girls. We just signed all this. You see

0:32:57.680 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 1>it all the time because it'd be like a label

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 1>or sign somebody that's similar, that's their biggest artists, and

0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you like, these people are not gonna gravitate to this

0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 1>person because they're already focused on this. Yeah, I alreadys

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>had that issue too, even when I'm produced, Like people

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 1>would come and say, bro, I need to go crazy.

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like, no, that was Taylor made for jay Z

0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and jeez, you know what I'm saying, geez murk that

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna give you that that that destroys my

0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 1>legacy by doing that same beat. I'm not gonna do

0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Cannon twice. I'm not gonna do money longer twice. I

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 1>want to get like those live as pieces on the wall,

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:31.360
<v Speaker 1>like boss Yat You're only gonna get one of those,

0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 1>see you know what I'm saying, And that's that and

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I can make you something, but they ain't gonna be

0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that beat. I just don't live like that. I feel

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.200
<v Speaker 1>like if people thought like that in the industry, we

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:43.840
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have radio sounding the same with the same song

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 1>for so long. Now we have like you know, we're

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 1>finally getting too different sounds in women, you know what

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying in the culture in general. So I wish

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that had a lot of labels thought like that. Yeah,

0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to get into space. So like we're talking

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:01.400
<v Speaker 1>about women's mouth right now, Like I want to get

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:05.240
<v Speaker 1>into space where we have not necessarily Queen Latifa, but

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody that has a voice in different spaces, like a

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 1>message behind she don't really get the yes, but she's

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>not she's alone. So it's like we need five in

0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that area. Company, like we're staying together, Like when you

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 1>did Ladies Night they had all the women on there,

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 1>or you remember I Want to Be Down remix, they

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:28.640
<v Speaker 1>was all on that joint. Like we got too much

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>separation with the women now with how they're how they're

0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 1>working together, or they work together, and then now that

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:38.239
<v Speaker 1>fall out, Like it's the egos because if you if

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you notice, it's the same thing that happens you know

0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot with with male rappers. You know, once they

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:46.800
<v Speaker 1>get big guys like, oh, you don't rock with this person.

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:48.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do a song with you. But

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the one thing that I do like is um I

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>love how you know popular. You know, the women's music

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>is now its sounding different, like Lola doesn't sound like

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Ice Spice. You know that's what Spice don't sound like?

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Doja cat? You know? He said, well, I said all

0:35:05.600 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of sounds like she's six. Yeah, I love. I love

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>all that, like I love, I love the difference and stuff,

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>but I just want to see more of it. Like

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 1>we've been tackling this sound that we have now for

0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:25.439
<v Speaker 1>about two years, and soon we're just gonna get still

0:35:25.520 --> 0:35:27.520
<v Speaker 1>as human beings. We're gonna be like, man, we're tired

0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:30.399
<v Speaker 1>of that. Yep. You could be young, you've been old.

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:32.400
<v Speaker 1>We're just gonna get tired of that. So we need

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:35.879
<v Speaker 1>to kind of like make some different feels for people

0:35:35.880 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 1>to vibe to. It's even getting worse when we're playing

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:40.640
<v Speaker 1>new artists for people and the first thing that says, yeah,

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 1>so vibe, like that's becoming a bad word to me,

0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:45.239
<v Speaker 1>Like it's a vibe. Oh that's what you're hearing a

0:35:45.280 --> 0:35:48.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of meetings, yes, just people run up on me

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:50.359
<v Speaker 1>be like, yeah, that's just a little vibe. Like that's

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>becoming a bad word to me because I don't want

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:56.719
<v Speaker 1>the vibe. I want energy, like I want I want

0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 1>to feel something. People want to feel something like what

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:02.320
<v Speaker 1>are we feeling? Like? I want to test to whatever

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>you're saying and feel a certain way. We're all from

0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the Mud, but I think we're drilling the fact that

0:36:08.200 --> 0:36:10.400
<v Speaker 1>we're all from the mud. Like, you know, each of

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 1>all of us have done something out of the mud.

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear ten records about it, you

0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, that's not what we're living for.

0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:19.920
<v Speaker 1>We always use hip hop as a vehicle to get

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:22.920
<v Speaker 1>out of the mud. It's always since the eighties. Always mine, Man,

0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting out the projects, I'm getting out the situation.

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to live a better life and still make

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 1>comparable music. But that's where we're getting stuck at in

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:33.759
<v Speaker 1>the space where we're just like, man, you don't think

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 1>it's the label's fault. No, well, we make it, but

0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 1>but the labels are the ones that's that's putting the

0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:42.400
<v Speaker 1>money behind. But we're making the records because they know

0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:44.719
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna give them a million dollars you're gonna give

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:46.640
<v Speaker 1>them two million dollars. That's where it's at. When the

0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 1>money don't kind of like dictate what we make. That's

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:53.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're gonna see difference because people are gonna be

0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:54.839
<v Speaker 1>all broke, and people gonna be like, well, I'm doing

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:57.040
<v Speaker 1>this broke and I'm happy. Well, I'm doing this broke

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'm happy. Everybody's doing things based on their money,

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 1>and they change. You know, who got the best chain? Like,

0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we ain't heard no music from it. We ain't heard

0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:07.920
<v Speaker 1>no these rappers like you see, you see all these

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:10.600
<v Speaker 1>rappers in the club. The ship that pisses me off

0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the most is like you will see a you know,

0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:15.239
<v Speaker 1>an independent rapper and he in the club with a

0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:17.439
<v Speaker 1>million chains, and he tries to get a DJ twenty

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:19.560
<v Speaker 1>dollars to play a record. Yeah, And I'm looking at

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:22.280
<v Speaker 1>him like yeah, because they're starting at a low ball situation.

0:37:22.440 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 1>So they always had that relationship. But I don't have

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:29.800
<v Speaker 1>no issue with your hustle, in your chains and anything.

0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I want everybody to look different. If I have little

0:37:33.360 --> 0:37:35.640
<v Speaker 1>baby coming in with a Dior suit, I want to

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:38.839
<v Speaker 1>see somebody elsewhere of a Sachi suit. I don't want

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you to wear with little babies wearing my brother that's

0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:43.560
<v Speaker 1>his little baby, that's a superstar on its own. He

0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:46.400
<v Speaker 1>would get some influenced bodies by the artist, though, you know,

0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:49.320
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's hard because people to see somebody like

0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:52.600
<v Speaker 1>little Baby or Oozy and they're on top of the game,

0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and then they like, I should imitate that, because then

0:37:55.440 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 1>people would think, you know, my success is simo too.

0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Like think about Ouzy, right, there's a lot of people

0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:06.640
<v Speaker 1>that wouldn't dare wear what he wore. But but they

0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:10.400
<v Speaker 1>starting to try to. It's started trying to dress like

0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:14.879
<v Speaker 1>uzi Um, you know, like trying his formula. They try

0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:18.719
<v Speaker 1>this formula, like even with the beats and yeah, the

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:23.080
<v Speaker 1>new sound. But happening, you know, all stuff has been

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:25.439
<v Speaker 1>happening in the industry. Doing a song and dance people

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 1>are like, hey, they're about to give me five er thousand,

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:29.239
<v Speaker 1>I might as well copying. They would have it. You know,

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:33.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's just difference, Like I'm stuck in the

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:37.439
<v Speaker 1>mode of everybody being individuals. We did that when Will

0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Smith wore Nike's bus, Markey wore Poema, Puma wore uhha,

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 1>and then you wore dadas. They wore new shoestrings, So

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it was like, bro, you we know you copied. You

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:50.600
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, I'm gonna wearing my hat. I'm

0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:52.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna take it out and it's gonna be open like

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you do that. You know you're copying me. Now It's

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:56.759
<v Speaker 1>like it's okay. Yeah, I think it's okay to being

0:38:56.800 --> 0:38:59.040
<v Speaker 1>a club. Did you and do things that you're doing?

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:01.919
<v Speaker 1>I never thought that was okay. I want to see

0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:04.360
<v Speaker 1>him do his thing, stand on the couch and do

0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:06.839
<v Speaker 1>what he has to do, pouring shots to everybody. That's

0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:09.600
<v Speaker 1>where the past of I want to see. I don't

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.759
<v Speaker 1>want to see another one of those. Social Media has

0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of large part in that, Yeah, because it

0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:21.480
<v Speaker 1>makes it accessible to uh be able to get that

0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 1>feel right away. Like you know, if you come on

0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:25.839
<v Speaker 1>there and you're wearing that jacket, I could just look

0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:28.000
<v Speaker 1>up your fit and I want the jacket and not

0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 1>even give you respect for I saw this jacket on

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and like you did it first. That's all I'm saying. Like,

0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:36.319
<v Speaker 1>we're not We're not in that space, and I feel

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>like we need to get back into a space where, um,

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:42.279
<v Speaker 1>we're not doing the same thing. I love to be

0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:45.040
<v Speaker 1>an influence. But like, I'll come here and there's nothing

0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:47.439
<v Speaker 1>on this hoodie. You know what I mean. I would

0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:51.000
<v Speaker 1>love for somebody to get their own blue nothing on

0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:54.959
<v Speaker 1>this hoodie. You know what I'm saying. I don't because

0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 1>do what you want. I'm just saying I wore this.

0:39:57.920 --> 0:40:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I found this in the office and I wanted to

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:02.680
<v Speaker 1>have on something different than what I had on the

0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Supreme T shirt, which it's like, hey man, everybody has sprint. Okay,

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 1>how about this, It's a five dollar hoodie. Quick question though,

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Did you do the dance to the just want to Rocky? Nah?

0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't have the I don't have a

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:19.279
<v Speaker 1>rhythm for that, Like for that dance, who made their dance?

0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Did that go viral? I think it's a Philly dance.

0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's one of those things where people

0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:29.799
<v Speaker 1>were battling, like member had to dance and the start

0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:32.400
<v Speaker 1>would be and I would throw it up and hit

0:40:32.440 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the baseball. Somebody would twist they had like it started

0:40:36.040 --> 0:40:39.080
<v Speaker 1>out like that. So I think that Oozy added something

0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:42.479
<v Speaker 1>parts to his that made it his. But there's people

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:44.319
<v Speaker 1>that I think they start here like oh you want

0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to battle and to start Yeah, I say the video

0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:50.520
<v Speaker 1>him that rolling out, ye want viral? Yeah, it started

0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:52.319
<v Speaker 1>as a battle, like they'll be in a circle, they'll

0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:54.680
<v Speaker 1>be on TikTok and they'll start with this and then

0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody will do a split, come up and do some

0:40:57.120 --> 0:41:00.319
<v Speaker 1>shit like that. I think that everybody got their own piece,

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:02.520
<v Speaker 1>so it's no start to it. It's just like, hey,

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:05.640
<v Speaker 1>it's like what we started the hood and how we started,

0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, rock, paper scissors, whatever. My question is, what

0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:12.680
<v Speaker 1>was it that you took from the labels to generation

0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:16.239
<v Speaker 1>now to make your your labels so successful. One of

0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the things was partnership. I feel like, uh, when I

0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:24.040
<v Speaker 1>was at death Jam, my partner with so many people too.

0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:26.879
<v Speaker 1>So so when I was coming up, HyG was there,

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Big Sean Janet, King Logic, Little Dirt Loorice, Alicia carr

0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Iggy was there. I don't know if you'll remember the

0:41:37.040 --> 0:41:39.200
<v Speaker 1>double XL when they had the deaf Jam pull and

0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:41.440
<v Speaker 1>they pulled out the spread and it was like all

0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the rappers that was rocking at that moment. I felt

0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:48.520
<v Speaker 1>like when we were doing all that of Jeremiah, when

0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:52.600
<v Speaker 1>we were working with all these artists us as a

0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:57.560
<v Speaker 1>round table of the best brains Sycamore, Noah, no Id,

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:02.640
<v Speaker 1>all a tag app, all these guys. We were sitting

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:04.440
<v Speaker 1>in the room and was like, hey, we're gonna do

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:07.319
<v Speaker 1>it together. Nobody was off in the corner like I'm

0:42:07.360 --> 0:42:09.640
<v Speaker 1>doing Dirk, I'm gonna break this and show you I'm

0:42:09.680 --> 0:42:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the best and our best executive ever. We was like, hey, man,

0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Sycamore was like, Yo, let's do it together. If you

0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:17.440
<v Speaker 1>fall off, I got your back. I fall off, you got,

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I got your back, you know what I mean. We

0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 1>did Jeremiah together, you know what I mean. And we

0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't worried about who got the credit for nothing. We did.

0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Me and him did watch You together. He wanted wanted

0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:29.920
<v Speaker 1>me to pull in excuse me, some some records for him,

0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you know. Uh the rich Homi Kwan, my hitter came

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:37.239
<v Speaker 1>out of me helping Sycamore with his project, you know

0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:41.520
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. And uh, no Noah was doing logic

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 1>in Janet and we all put in pieces to help

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:46.239
<v Speaker 1>him do that. Dirk was one of the things that

0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:48.439
<v Speaker 1>I put my arm around and was like, yo, you're

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the next guy. Me and Dion did that together, you

0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:53.359
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. So it was like we all

0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:55.719
<v Speaker 1>had our back, so when Big boss Man came in

0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the room, He's like, so what we got was I'm worried.

0:42:57.719 --> 0:43:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I got Geez Me and Sycamore doing Jeezy me and

0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you know me and Beon doing this, and it was

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 1>like they wanted to separate it and make it in

0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 1>a space where everybody could get blamed. It's something that happened,

0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 1>but we were sticking together, and I feel like that

0:43:10.280 --> 0:43:15.800
<v Speaker 1>partnership kind of allowed everything to work and move smooth,

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.439
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's what happens now. It's like, even

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:21.200
<v Speaker 1>though I may have been the first one off the

0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:24.760
<v Speaker 1>ship to find Oozy and start to set up, everybody

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 1>added day piece to make it work. You know what

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, finding something that's whatever, making it

0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:36.640
<v Speaker 1>making a vision grow. It's something totally different. And that

0:43:36.840 --> 0:43:39.440
<v Speaker 1>was that was the main staple, was like partnership, Like

0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:42.320
<v Speaker 1>any of us easily. Drum could start a label on

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:44.400
<v Speaker 1>his own right now. I could start a label on

0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:47.239
<v Speaker 1>myself right now, same as they anybody else. But I

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:52.480
<v Speaker 1>felt like the partnership allowed us to do a ton

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:56.439
<v Speaker 1>push instead of me just turn around, sweat and trying

0:43:56.440 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 1>to make it work. So that was the main thing

0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I learned outside of that if we're talking about seeing

0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:06.560
<v Speaker 1>how budgets work is a different thing. You know, you

0:44:06.600 --> 0:44:09.160
<v Speaker 1>don't see that seeing on the streets. Like I'll always

0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:12.399
<v Speaker 1>work with artists and some of the mixtapes we've done,

0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:16.360
<v Speaker 1>we didn't understand budgets, you know. So I wanted to

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:21.640
<v Speaker 1>learn how budgets worked, How product managers add tool you know,

0:44:21.760 --> 0:44:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the conveyor belt product, the products of the conveyor belt.

0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Marketing people why they market that way? Radio people, why

0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:32.840
<v Speaker 1>do you target those certain radio stations? Execs? Why are

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:34.759
<v Speaker 1>you only spending this amount of money in this quarter?

0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:37.960
<v Speaker 1>So all those things, like I wanted to learn, like,

0:44:38.200 --> 0:44:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, a playbook on Tom Brady arn Like, I

0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know all the plays so I knew when

0:44:43.640 --> 0:44:45.040
<v Speaker 1>we come out of there and I go back in

0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:46.880
<v Speaker 1>that building, they're like, hey man, you can't do this,

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, well, I know how to do that.

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:51.759
<v Speaker 1>I know why, I know why you're coming like that,

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.960
<v Speaker 1>and I know what we deserve. So that's the things

0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to work on coming out of that building,

0:44:58.960 --> 0:45:01.719
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I learned. You know, don can't appreciate
