00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Does that make sense what I'm saying?

46
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: Like, like, do you feel like you've started to kind

47
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: of figure out because once you fall into a record

48
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: like Soak City, like you're just like learning on the go,

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: Like do you feel like you're finally kind of getting

50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: like a real understanding of this music shit and just

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: the industry and.

52
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: Bro Like, I'm learning at this ship is not as

53
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: hard as like it's hard as shit like to succeed

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: at the highest level, right, But I'm learning that a

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: lot of this shit is just like it'd be really

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: just one plus two equals three. But like niggas at

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: like it took them a long ass time to get

58
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: to the top. They're not gonna tell you it's just

59
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: one plus two or three. Niggas, they're gonna make it

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: overly complicated. But this shit now, it's not that like

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: it's not to me. It's like it's not that much.

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: It's not too much of a secret sauce. It's just like, Okay,

63
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: is this hard? Just's gonna be on top of this shit?

64
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: M h. Is he gonna have a nice routine or

65
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: where he can stay focused? You know, because there's so

66
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: much success and so much coming at you. Are you

67
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: going to stay Are you going to continue to develop

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: and go up creatively? Yeah? Are you gonna get burnt out?

69
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It's all that type of shit,

70
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: that's really what it is. It's really just your focus.

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you say because because you know, I think

72
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: what you just said is great, because most artists would

73
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: it would feel like, if you're an up and coming artist,

74
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: first of all, music has to resonate, be good. That's

75
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: the number one thing, right, So without that, like it

76
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, right, but if you do have a good product,

77
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: I do feel like there are artists who overcomplicate the process.

78
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Of the music industry, and that's what I think it.

79
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: And then they also kind of like, well, cyite themselves

80
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: out from dropping music, or cite themselves out from dropping

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: a piece of content, or maybe they drop a piece

82
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: of content and it doesn't perform well, and so then

83
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: they give up as opposed to just doing more of that.

84
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: Like what would you say? Is kind of been the

85
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: one plus one equals to strategy that you guys have

86
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: been able to implement because you know you, I mean,

87
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, anytime you guys decide like, hey, this

88
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: is a song we're going to focus on, it does

89
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: really well.

90
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: So I mean I think I'm just in my bag

91
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: right now, like I'm in my pocket, like I know

92
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: what's gonna work, and not necessarily like, oh, I know

93
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hit. That's not what I'm saying.

94
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like I know what I should drop. Like

95
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: I know, like, okay, rock hibs had to come out

96
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: at that time, right, did we know do exactly what

97
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: it did? Know? But like my friends were telling me,

98
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: it's hard, So let's drop that shit, right, they told

99
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: me it was hard. I dropped that shit. They told

100
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: me everything else was hard. I dropped it. They gonna

101
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: tell me what was right. They're not gonna leave me wrong.

102
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: But like, once you put the music, Okay, so let's

103
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: say you're like, okay, rock your hips. Obviously you did

104
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: the remix with Sweetie, the Originals, got Blue Bucks and

105
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: Ogz on a right, yeah, But like what are the

106
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: things that I mean because obviously you're with the Empire,

107
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: so they have like a great digital team. But like

108
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: for you as an artist, like, what are the things

109
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: that you're like, Okay, it's album time, we're gonna put

110
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: out this song. I I know that I'm not the

111
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: only like you're not the only variable involved when you

112
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: put out music. But for the things that you're responsible for,

113
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: for the things that you can control when it comes

114
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: to pushing pushing music, what are those things like that

115
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: you feel like you're like you've figured it out.

116
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: I will say, like, and when it comes to like

117
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: when like when it comes to making these albums, it's

118
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: like it's a lot easier to just put some shit

119
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: together based off what you already have rather than trying

120
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: to cook. Okay, like this album is called three undred

121
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: degrees let's make three hundred ten degrees music. Mm hm no, Like,

122
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: let's let's grab the songs what we got right and

123
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: like been working on right, that's what we do, like

124
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and shit, that's what what's crazy is that

125
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: that's what I did for Lottery Pick, like before I

126
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: had the team and all that shit. But like I'm

127
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: not thinking, you know what I mean, Like shit, and

128
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: that's the same thing now, Like it's just so it's

129
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: easy for me and I'm not notice like that's all

130
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: we're doing, Like I noticed that. Shit, it's some other

131
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: niggas are just going to like overthink it and wait

132
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: a year and you know what I mean, Like, no,

133
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: we already have the album is already sitting in front

134
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: of you for sure.

135
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: You know what's funny is like anytime we talk, I

136
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 2: feel like recently I've had a few conversations with like

137
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: folks in regarding like the Kendrick moment that happened, and

138
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: like kind of like LA in general in terms of

139
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: quote unquote hit records has had like a serious drought.

140
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: But the one exception to that drought, whether it's been

141
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: a year or two, however long the quote unquote drought

142
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: has been, has been Soak City, Right, So, like Soak

143
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: City is like the the record that got to number

144
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: one out of LA at radio in multiple formats. And

145
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: you know, I remember you getting booked in Florida and shit,

146
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: like fuck nine ten months ago, Like do you feel

147
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: like you're like any weight of like the LA representation

148
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: nationwide on your shoulders now?

149
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Because I feel like LA don't make me feel like

150
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm just that nigga. Like LA doesn't make me feel like, oh,

151
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: you're doing it for us, bro right. I feel like

152
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to stats in these songs like y'all

153
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: singing my shit because ain't nobody else shit to sing, right,

154
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: But it's like I don't feel like, oh yeah, like

155
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: LA hasn't embraced you. I feel like certain people have,

156
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: but I feel like as a culture, like LA, like

157
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: it's not that it's not like how it was for Kendrick,

158
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: which I'm not saying it should be that because it

159
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: also wasn't like that for Kendrick. Initially it took him

160
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: a while to get I didn't know you know, well,

161
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: you were fucking like seven years old young.

162
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like when Kendrick first came out, like he was like,

163
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: I mean, look, he is a conscious rapper technically, right,

164
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: So it's like it took a lot. It really took

165
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: Like Dre he did that watch out for Detox freestyle,

166
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: and but initially it was very, very like Kendrick almost

167
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: existed outside of the ecosystem of like quote unquote LA rap.

168
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: And I feel like, do you I do think that

169
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: there is something to be said about like you're just

170
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: a kid having fun. And I think a lot of

171
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: times in LA, like we get wrapped up in like

172
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: artists who might be affiliated or might be quote unquote

173
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: gangster rappers, and so I feel like you're kind of

174
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: just doing your own thing, your own way, just making music,

175
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: and I feel like it's just you're just you're just

176
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: on positive vibes, bro, like you're doing you.

177
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: So I think LA's fun. I mean, you saw it

178
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: out the Novo, Bro.

179
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: That's a big deal pretty big and that was like

180
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: your graduation party, right.

181
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, like, I don't know, I think it's

182
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: it's important for me, I mean even talking about this now,

183
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: which is important for me to be grateful and appreciate

184
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: what's here right and now what's not for sure? If

185
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I if I think like that, that's the average human.

186
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: And then you're gonna be You're gonna psych yourself out

187
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: and you're gonna I mean, that's kind of the two

188
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: plus two. They're the one plus one equals two thing.

189
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: When people start thinking about what they don't get instead

190
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: of worried like you know what I mean, that's where

191
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: they start getting fucking they overthink it.

192
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, yeah, I don't know. I think two

193
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: is like I already don't be in LA like that.

194
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's like if I did a big

195
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: ass show and I've seen people pop out, I'd be like,

196
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: oh yeah they do that.

197
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean you had a big show. I

198
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: mean look and then obviously getting off tour with OJZ

199
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: had to be done. Oh yeah, bro, that shit was

200
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: crazy because Ojiz is like another one of those guys

201
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: who's like, you know, Shoreline and OGZ for you know

202
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: one of the I mean, their wave has been so

203
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: influential on LA culture and just like LA artists, like

204
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: I think a Draco and Shoreline is kind of like

205
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: a lot of the influence in terms of like a

206
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: whole generation of quote unquote LA rap.

207
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: So shout out to OGZ. Good guy, not for sure

208
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: one of the most genuine niggas I met, bro and like,

209
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: I have so many conversations with him while on that

210
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: tour that I have nothing to do with music and

211
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: nothing to do with bullshit, right, And I like learned

212
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: so much from him, you know what I mean, Because

213
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: it's like outside of his workshit because this is our

214
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: job at the end of the yare right, But outside

215
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: of this workship, O Jiz is on a different level.

216
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: Whether or not he shows the world that which I mean,

217
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, everybody kind of keeps it themselves, like you know,

218
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: you don't give the world one hundred percent of who

00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 2: like somehow he's still underrated somehow.

00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: super awake, she's.

249
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: Super sharp, super hip, and she's very like you know,

250
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,640

00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:18,839

00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: Like, but talk to her, you wouldn't even get that, like,

255
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,200

256
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: She's also like yeah she doesn't. She's cool as fuck. Yeah,

257
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: she didn't give like oh you know what I mean,

258
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Like she was just super cool like us. He graduate too,

259
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: shout out to Sweden. Forgot she had the meal. Damn, Bro.

260
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: Now that you're out of high school and you're very successful,

261
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: would you ever consider getting like a degree just to

262
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 2: get a degree.

263
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I think.

264
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: College is gonna be there forever. It'll never not be there,

265
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: that's for sure. Someone will always take your money to

266
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: go to school.

267
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: Right. But I think like if I went back, I

268
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: would make it. It would be intentional. How you said,

269
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: everything's seems like I do it on purpose. I would

270
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: go back, maybe make the album around where I go,

271
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Some shit like that'd be hard.

272
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: What would you go to school for? Do you have

273
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: any idea this business? Because that's what I was, That's

274
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: all I was on before this shit.

275
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk to me, man. You know there was one

276
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: of the to me, the most flagrant outside of the

277
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: freshman cover having the not like Us tagline, but the

278
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: fact there is no one from LA and to me,

279
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: the biggest emission of that cover would have been yourself.

280
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: Was that something that bothered you not making that cover?

281
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: Of course in them like in that moment, But then

282
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: I like kind of got out of it because it's

283
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot of niggas I didn't got snubbed. It's a

284
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of niggas. I was great NBA players and got

285
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: snubbed from the All Star Game, great NFL players that

286
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: didn't make the pro bo. I don't mean I'm not

287
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: great or I can't be great or whatever, you know,

288
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: whatever bar that is that they have set for, like, oh,

289
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: this is what qualifies you to be at XL cool, right,

290
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not here to say if I qualify or not.

291
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: That's up to them. That's theayless. At the end of

292
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: the day, it's one hundred fucking lists out here as

293
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: complex it's this is that if you just had to

294
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: make your own fucking top ten list, it don't matter.

295
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: But like, shit, do I think I should have been

296
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: on there? Yes? But am I onn some like FX Excel, No,

297
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: because they could put it. Sure, they can put whoever

298
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: they want to. It's their list. Yeah.

299
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just look at it, like, you know, there's

300
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: been some all time great guys who never was on

301
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: the Freshman list.

302
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, they never put Drake on. You I think

303
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: about that, you know, was that controversial? I wasn't because

304
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't tapped.

305
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think that what ended up happening was by

306
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: the time, like it would have made sense to put

307
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: him on, they just gave him his own cover.

308
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Oh, which shit, it is what it is.

309
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: And then the other thing too, was like I feel

310
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: like this I was just talking a big extra plug

311
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: and he was just saying how like he was just

312
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: a little disappointed because this year's like class was not

313
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: a like not everybody wanted to rap and shit, And

314
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: he's like, yo, like this is the freshman cover, Like

315
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: you gotta fuck rap on this shit.

316
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I think music is changing on top

317
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: of I mean, that's really what it is. Think about

318
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: niggas ain't rapping no more, Like even me, I'm not

319
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: the most lyrical nigga.

320
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: Right, but I feel like if I mean, you could

321
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: tell me if I'm wrong, but if you were to

322
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: be on that cover, you would have had something.

323
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I'm not saying that, that's what I'm saying.

324
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I wouldn't. I'm just trying to give like, okay,

325
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: like you know, you know what I mean, Like you

326
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: would have rapped though, Hell yeah, I feel like two,

327
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of niggas don't appreciate, not even appreciate,

328
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: but they don't like see the XXL shit the same

329
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: way Big X may Big X may see that and remember,

330
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: oh yeah, this is XS. So I grew up watching

331
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: this shit my generations, like we only remember twenty sixteen.

332
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: After that we blinked.

333
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: Right, and some of those were just like there was

334
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: some interesting cipher moments like the XXS ten Tasion moment

335
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: was pretty crazy.

336
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. You see how it was

337
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: like started to like it was not in my opinion,

338
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: but I'm saying on some like big hip hop shit,

339
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: it started to go down.

340
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was more like once the cloud SoundCloud error

341
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: kind of kicked in. I feel like the freshman ciphers

342
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: just got a lot more water down and it was

343
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: like some of them would go viral because of like

344
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: how interesting they were, how bad they were.

345
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: And then I mean even think now in the age

346
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: of content bro, like it's faciently continue to be that.

347
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: Do you feel like because we are a content addicted

348
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: society and that can work for us and against us.

349
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: I feel like consumers are just they're so desensitized to

350
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: everything because it's just content, content content, whether you're watching

351
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: YouTube documentaries, whether you're watching reels TikTok. As an artist

352
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: being in the content era of music is, would you

353
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: say that the content side is as important as the

354
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: music now.

355
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: I think it's funny, like you asked me that because

356
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: you look at somebody like me, like only have two

357
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: hundred thousand followers as of today, right right, but I

358
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: have a lot more records and niggas that have one

359
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: million followers. And I think it's two side this shit.

360
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: It's a side of like people that are entertained on

361
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: Instagram and tik talk and shit, and like they have

362
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: entertaining content. But then it's the side of like who's

363
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: actually streaming?

364
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: Well, I think too, Like what I mean, I think

365
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: a lot of the genesis of like people discovering Silk

366
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: City was through social media, right, So it was like

367
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: I want to say, like, who are the early people

368
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: who danced to it?

369
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: But see, Okay, so it's like c J. Stroudstorm the

370
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: bar like et cetera. Right, But what the point I'm

371
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: about to make here is people heard the song because

372
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: of people dancing, not my face, not content that I did. Nowadays, bro,

373
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: people won't have a fucking anywhere near a hit, right,

374
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: but they'll go do like one of the mic videos

375
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: and they will see their face. Oh yo, you're the dude,

376
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: You're right, and then you get eight hundred thousand fucking followers,

377
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: not eight hundred thousand streams like that.

378
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: Fat dude that looks like Peter Griffin they got. Do

379
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: you remember that fat dude that like the nerdy fat

380
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: dude who dressed like Peter Griffin on the white dude

381
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: who dressed like Peter Griffin on purpose and he did

382
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: the micro performance. It's like I know that guy, I

383
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: don't know what his fucking name is. But like you said,

384
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: is the consumption of the product matching up to whatever

385
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: virality you might have, or because motherfuckers can be like yo,

386
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: I have you know on the radar freestyle that went crazy,

387
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: which is great, but it's like, is that is the

388
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: are you converting to people going to consuming you a

389
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: shit or buying tickets to a show?

390
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, these niggas, No, nobody's selling tickets. But I think

391
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: that shit'sn't a drop down because I think it was

392
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: starting to happen as a I mean, and everybody knows this,

393
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: Like these niggas are like labels are signing these people

394
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: and it's not doing anything correct. So like when shit

395
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: like that happens, of change always occurs. Now how long

396
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: that takes? But you know, I don't think it'd be

397
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: like that first because it doesn't make sense and it's

398
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: a waste of investment.

399
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like, honestly, if you're a label, I mean, unfortunately,

400
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: it's like you're kind of like helping like one out

401
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: of ten artists. If you're a major label hits. You know,

402
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: if you could get like one, Let's say you're Atlantic

403
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 2: and you signed ten artists and one.

404
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: Of them is Cardi B. You're like, okay, well, Cardi B.

405
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: Is gonna make up for all the money we might

406
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: have lost off like that keep the lights on. Yeah,

407
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: exactly so, And that's why I think I've had a

408
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: conversation with my team about this before. It's like, Bro,

409
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: imagine we would have had the traditional artists today that

410
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: like every week, another nigga blows up on TikTok, cuts

411
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: in a video or content whatever and then like has

412
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: five hundred K in the first three months or eight

413
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: hundred K whatever. Right, But it's like I could have

414
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: been that, but we wouldn't have had shit or any records.

415
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: And it's like what's online motion without any records? Like

416
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: that's what pays the bills, bro. But nowadays, with artists

417
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: becoming content creators, Bro, they're fucking eating off just that

418
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: this is true. So it's like, I don't know, It's

419
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: like it's both sides, but I feel like with me,

420
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm one of the like I'm a unique case because

421
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm proving again and again that like, Bro, at the

422
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: end of the day, music is what matters, and until

423
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: that changes, until it's like nah, bro, if you're not

424
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: doing this good ass content, you're not streaming. But until then, shit,

425
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna make good music, like because take away

426
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: social media. My shit's on the radio.

427
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: Well, I just saw you too. You did a speaking

428
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: engagement in Phoenix.

429
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: What was that about? Man?

430
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: That was like, are you like, are you gonna start

431
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: doing more of that type of shit?

432
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it's this time I get into like

433
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: who I really am and letting people know it's different

434
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: sides than me. It's not just the music shit, right,

435
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: because everybody sees it so sicky shit and then like okay,

436
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: it has an opinion or talk shit or whatever they're

437
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna do. But it's like, no, I'm over here too,

438
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like cause the other guys

439
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: are like over there with all the bullshit, but like

440
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: I'm over here making sure we're straight on like the

441
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: corporate side. So then if all this shit collapse, I

442
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: still could be that face that could represent you know

443
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: what I mean, because it's like who else can to

444
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: represent black youth on that level? That's some crazy shit

445
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: that's real.

446
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: So it's like, yo, if the music goes away, like

447
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: at least I like like you're like, that's the thing

448
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: is like the name of your guys's company is high IQ, right,

449
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: So it's like you know, just that brand in general

450
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: is like you should have something of merit to say

451
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: people that that people can at least gravitate towards.

452
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: And I used to be like, damn, you know artists,

453
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: big artists have like the label behind, like the label

454
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: with the group or like whoever they hang out with,

455
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: and anesthetic and all this ship like that's the new thing.

456
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: Like everybody has like a look or a feel, right,

457
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: But then like me, I used to be like damn,

458
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: so like my aesthetic gotta give. But now I think

459
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: about it, it's like, bro, hi, i Q is that

460
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: and it's bigger. It's bigger than what I wear. It's

461
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: bigger than who I hang out with, because a lot

462
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: of niggas aesthetics stop at their fashion or who they

463
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: hang out.

464
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: Buddies are right, right, But me now is to hey, yo,

465
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: that fucking Kendrick line where he was talking about Yadia,

466
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: I don't give.

467
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: A funk who you hang with. I was like that,

468
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: that's funny. It's everything. It's everything, bro, It's fucking everything.

469
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: It's like the high Q be anything. It's it's not

470
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: just one thing, and it's so much more to me

471
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: than just music. Yeah, I think. I think that's that's

472
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: true too.

473
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: Is like a lot of fans, unfortunately, are very shallow

474
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: and so like they might they're like weirdly enough associating

475
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 2: like your validation or how much they want to fuck

476
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: with you based on who you're hanging out with, which

477
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: is weird. But that's a thing. I mean, but you've

478
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 2: kind of skated through that because you're just making undeniable

479
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: hit records, so you don't have to worry about like

480
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: being in these weird ass fucking studio sessions or being

481
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 2: like the awkward dude y'all, let's get a flick for

482
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: I G.

483
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Bro, I don't even brouh. Yeah,

484
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: we're not even in the mix for think about that

485
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: and that and that's not necessarily a good thing. Think

486
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: about it if I was, though, like, think about how

487
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: all these other guys I'm not no name, you know what,

488
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: You'll know what I'm talking about. How other guys are

489
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: moved around so like, oh, oh, hang out with these

490
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: guys for a minute, hang out over here, super weird dude,

491
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: weird and see it all the time. I'll be like,

492
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah, And it gets to the point where like

493
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: you get to a certain level, and now everybody's friends,

494
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: but it's.

495
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: Like nobody but nobody's friends. Yeah, everybody's friends, but they're not. Yeah,

496
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: And I feel like everything happens for a reason. And

497
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean that's why I'm not like associated super early.

498
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: I think it's going to get to that point where

499
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: it's like, damn, we didn't fuck with them early. We

500
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: didn't fuck with them early, but now if we want

501
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 2: to fuck with them, we know we got to pay

502
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: that fee. Not even pay the fee, bro, But it's

503
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: like it's hard, it's a long line.

504
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: Bro.

505
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: Somebody else who wasn't necessarily back to our conversation earlier,

506
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 2: I would say necessarily embraced by l A early would

507
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: have been Tyler.

508
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: Holy shit, Tyler is a good fucking case he bro.

509
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: He got on.

510
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: And then it's like it's like everyone just forgot like

511
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 2: duties from LA and you think, what you think that's

512
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 2: not having to me? Look at look at what Look

513
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: at what I've done, look at what I've done right

514
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: where I'm at, and like where the world is right

515
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: now when it comes to like social media and culture,

516
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: we're not thinking about. And then look at me how

517
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: I look, how I carry myself.

518
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that could be it.

519
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: But I do think at the very least, at least sonically,

520
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: when I hear your records, it gives it gives me

521
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: West Coast you know, the BPM, you know, it kind

522
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 2: of gives me. Okay, this is some this is some

523
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: West Coast or origin the music as to where I

524
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: feel like when Tyler first came out, he was making

525
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: like Yonkers is like fucking seventy six vpms and it's

526
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: like a really dark record, you know. But I'm wondering

527
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: have you guys connected. I know you guys are both

528
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,600

531
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: And I feel like I'm supposed to, but I feel

532
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: like it hasn't happened because it's not me yet, right,

533

00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: like you and Tyler will be dada like, oh I

Speaker 1: know him, and that's something like No, when it's time,

537
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's time, it will happen.

538
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: And when it's time to hit like when it you

539
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean, when it's gonna hit boom, you know,

540
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: because it's for me. And I've said this in super

541
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: like many interviews. It's like it's not super important to

542
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: have just a feature, but I want to work with

543
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,160

Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, I don't know what

545
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: could that do for me? Bro? Like how think about

546
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: how even him like he met Pharrell. I've seen that

547
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: video and like it changed the way he thought about music. Bro,

548
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: I haven't had that moment yet. But I met all

549
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: these like I met all these like street niggas, but

550
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: I haven't met somebody that's like a genius, a musical

551
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: genius that like may change the way I think, you

552
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, that's the thing everybody wants

553
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: to Oh, whose niggas taking pictures with? What chain they

00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

557
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: Because if you don't know what spark that could create, right,

558
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: especially you know it's in you know, it's in you.

559
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: I'm a student of the fucking game. These other niggas

560
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: are just within this shit and they're living it. They're

561
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: living whatever artists name they are. Me, I'm understanding that

562
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: it's my business and I'm gonna make sure this motherfucker

563
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: go up as long as as long as I just

564
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: listen and take shit in and I listen. I love that, man,

565
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: I love that.

566
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: I was thinking too, like for you, you know, you

567
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 2: have a company now, so but you're also an eighteen

568
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: year old kid. Are you interested in finding other artist

569
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: or is it too early for that?

570
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: Just way too early. I think people may look at

571
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: me on something like people e DM me and you

572
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: way oh damn bro like this that that. But it's like, bro,

573
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm not even in a position to put you on, right,

574
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't think. Yeah. I think that that is like

575
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: a very terrible.

576
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: Attitude or approach rather not attitude to music is like

577
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: thinking that there's like gate keepers, because then if you

578
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: think that that's your path, like oh, someone has the

579
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: power to quote unquote put me on, yeah, then you

580
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: have like a then you have a boogey man to

581
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: point at and be like, well, this fool just didn't

582
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: put me on, or you know, it was just like whatever,

583
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: I just went through this shit with with people saying

584
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: like I need to put more Arizona artists on, and

585
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, I can't put nobody on, Like who

586
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: the fuck you think?

587
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: You gotta think? Bro? If you go grab beers on

588
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: artists and you just be like post some page, what

589
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: the fuck is I gonna do?

590
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: I don't think people. And also done that with like

591
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: thirty Erason artists. So it's like you know, but it's

592
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: like like it's really like there's like there's this is

593
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: like you do you have a zero barrier to the

594
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: world as a musician. Yeah, it's straight to it's there's

595
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 2: a straight to fan based connection. So if what you're

596
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: doing is resonating and you're playing with the algram and

597
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: you're putting the work in like that, that ain't got

598
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: shit to do with me, thog, you know what I'm.

599
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: Saying, Like, I mean shit.

600
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: It's interesting though, because people will have that attitude like yo,

601
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 2: three one old baby sigmy man put me on. It's like, man,

602
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: like get your motion, get your work ethic together, get

603
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: your regimen together.

604
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: You fuck around and fuck yourself up trying to put

605
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: another nig on.

606
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 2: For sure, because it's like especially as an artist who

607
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: I don't think niggas understand.

608
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: Bro, if you do a song with somebody bro and

609
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: that shit do not hit. But you're coming off a

610
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: seven song streak, that fucking eighth song, if it don't

611
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: hit your all, like you're done. Especially today, I think

612
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: back in the day, Back in the day, niggas could

613
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: like kind of like trickle down and like pop back

614
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: because there's no social media, like a nigga disappear and

615
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: probably be straight all the time. Man, oh my god,

616
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 1: especially with Twitter and social media, they'll get bashed. Bro.

617
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: You don't do that, bro. So it's like, even with me,

618
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: it's like super strategic. Bro. How you said this like intentionally? Yeah,

619
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,680

00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: You bro?

621
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Especially with me, Bro, I'm at. I'm not at, you

622
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I can't call no big guy

623
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: to help me. We make the wrong step.

624
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: That's the l Was there anybody who you were trying

625
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: to get on the Soak City remix or almost got

626
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: on the Soak City Remix that just didn't quite come

627
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: to fruition because I'm assuming everybody was trying to get

628
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: on it.

629
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: No, A couple of niggas was trying to get on that,

630
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: but it got to the point where it was too

631
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: many fucking people cause we started saying like not saying yes,

632
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: but it was more you know me, I'm like.

633
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 2: Because it ended up being what Blue Bucks, Blue Face

634
00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: and Oz Tiger was yg blue Bus Clan Okay, because

635
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: like I heard, because I was thinking, fuck, Chris Brown

636
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: would be crazy on the fucking Solk City.

637
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: Bro. Anybody you got to think, Bro, anybody could did it?

638
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: For sure? Yeah? I mean it was a hell of

639
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: a lineup. Yeah, anybody could did it. I think it was.

640
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: I think I created one of them songs that didn't

641
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: matter like who was on it.

642
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: Also, like the original gets played more than the remix,

643
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: which is also that's that's all.

644
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: The remix did is promo for the original.

645
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: Sure, uh your sound? We know kind of like the

646
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 2: records we've gotten from me so far, and they're all

647
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: very much in the same kind of vein of like

648
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 2: party music. Is there any plans to kind of like

649
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: try to step out of your comfort zone? Maybe not

650
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: this album, because you know what your fans want. No, no, no,

651
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: this album has as But this is the thing I

652
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: think now people are gonna see Okay, Like there's party

653
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: songs because people would dance to them. Of course, if

654
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: people would dance in my shit, I can't control that.

655
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: The only song I intentionally made party songs too was

656
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: Soak City Rock your Hips, Pink Whitney, back it up

657
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: in the other song that's like a little bounty maybe

658
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: a little bit, but right, I'm telling you songs I

659
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: intention like, I put that behind. That's the energy I'm

660
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: putting like, you know what I mean. So this album

661
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: three hundred ten degrees, Bro, it doesn't sound like fucking so.

662
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like rocky hibs. And I think now

663
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: people are gonna appreciate his beat selection, like talking about me, people,

664
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna finally see, okay, this nigga does have b selection.

665
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: But the thing is this, right, people don't understand. You

666
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: got to keep the fucking lights on. Bro.

667
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: You have to Oh this sounds stead of out nigga?

668
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: Are you paying my bills? Right? Because if I fucking

669
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: fall off, then what then you feel off? Bro? Let

670
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: me do what I gotta do. I think people pick

671
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: the lights on. People don't understand the music business, bro,

672
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: people because I think people are so caught up in

673
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: like the all this, like y'all don't know, Bro, you

674
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: don't know what I got. I could probably, Bro, I

675
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: can have some songs right now that I'd be like, yeah, bro,

676
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: like me and my homies, fuck with it. I know

677
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: kids gonna fuck with it. But if they don't, like,

678
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: if they don't feel like, if everybody else don't feel like, no,

679
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: that's it, then it's not gonna you know. I mean,

680
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: so like you know, like for sure, just be patient

681
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: and let me figure this shit out, because I feel

682
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: like not even I feel like, Bro, I feel like

683
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm a musical genius, bro, honestly, and I feel like

684
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: all I can do to prove that to everybody is

685
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: to continue to work no matter what I say, you

686
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that's all that matters. Action is

687
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: way stronger than words. So you know, I'm saying that

688
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: respectfully and humble, but I just have to keep proving myself.

689
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: And after this album, people will see like, oh shit,

690
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: not necessarily like I'm not saying you're gonna listen to

691
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: this album and think I'm yeah, right, it's not what

692
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not saying that this is gonna be

693
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: the best album. I ever fucking dropped. But what I'm

694
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: saying is I want you to watch my growth and

695
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: start to look at my trajectory like, Okay, he's getting better.

696
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: That's what people don't track. People track clout fucking chains

697
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: and money. Track the progress, track the progress because making

698
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: progress is better and way different than making money. Watch

699
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: just watch it, bro, Yeah you listen.

700
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: I mean the progress has to be documented because if

701
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: you go from your first record being platinum and being

702
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: recorded on an iPhone, it's I mean, that's about as

703
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: ground zero as it can possibly get.

704
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, when you hear when you hear the album,

705
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: you'll be like, okay, oh shit, You'll you'll be able

706
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: to now because it's so many songs, you'll be able to,

707
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, kind of say, okay, this is obviously for

708
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: his kids. I mean for the kids, right, Okay, Now

709
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: I funk with this, and I see where he's going, Like,

710
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: it's some records on it that are going to surprise you.

711
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying yeah, yeah, you know, artists, we

712
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: always try to oversell our ship this of course. Yeah

713
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: you're listening to see for sure, what was it like

714
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: for you?

715
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: Did you understand the gravity and the just the moment

716
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: of coming out for the pop out. You know, I still

717
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: don't crazy night. I mean it's gonna be like like

718
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: a night in hip hop history, you know.

719
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying is I still don't because

720
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: like because you must have brought you out. Yeah, I

721
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: still like I know what it is. But you gotta

722
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: think it's still so current. It's still like when you're

723
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: in it, you're not really Yeah, It's like it's just

724
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: that's right now, right, I think we're still in that era.

725
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: We're still in that Drake Kendrick era. Sure, right, But

726
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: it's like I think you guys lived through a lot

727
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: of shit. You guys lift through a lot of historical

728
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: hip hop moments to where you guys understand early, especially

729
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: with you guys being older, noticing other moments that she

730
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: may not have been a part of, and now that

731
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: some people were able to participate in it, now that like, oh,

732
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I was a part of a legendary hip hop moment.

733
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: I think as I get older, I'll start to like

734
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: really understand more and more. I think I get it now.

735
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: But you gotta think it's like everybody out there as

736
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: old as fuck, bro older than me like it doesn't

737
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: hit yet, right, it doesn't hit yet, It'll hit later.

738
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: Were you able to meet Kendrick that night? Shook his

739
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: hand like on something like that? Cool? I mean shit,

740
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,120

00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: fucking get a hold of Kendrick. So for sure that

742
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: was dope as fuck. I always wondered if Kendrick fucked

770
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,759

Speaker 1: a Texan supporter.

773
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Plus, the Texans are the AFC. Rams

774
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 2: are your NFC. So it's like it's fairy. The only

775
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: time you really got to, you know, choose up is

776
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: if they each play each other in the Super Bowl.

777
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: It don't look like it's gonna be that. I don't think.

778
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna happen. Yeah, no, no, no,

779
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: the odds of that would be fucking crazy.

780
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Rams look like they're kind of you know, they're.

781
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: Not brother hold on, hold on, it's probably gonna be rebuilding.

782
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: And the Rams have a pattern. I don't know if

783
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: you've noticed. Give us like three four years, ass, give

Speaker 2: Well, they've also been fucked with injuries like Cooper c Pooking,

786
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: the coup is out.

787
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be. That's football, though, Yeah, that's football

792
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers and JJ Reddick to be the coach? That's

793
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: just sounds fake as fuck. Even you're saying that.

794
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: That's just like him and Lebron doing a podcast after

00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 2: every game, and shit, that'd be funny if they didn't.

Speaker 1: Bro these niggas. You know, it's wild, though. I feel

797
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: like the team chemistry will be there. I just don't

798
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: think it's like championship team. No, it's just not a

799
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: championship team. For sure, it's no championship team.

800
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: But then you see the way Lebron and eighty played

801
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 2: for Team USA, and you're like.

Speaker 2: TV all fucking day and there's Hollywood. Yeah, well there's

811
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: just no way you don't even like if you try

812
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 2: to ignore stephen A. Smith or whoever, skip Bay lists

825
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't think a lot of people do this.

826
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: We started looking at these NBA teams for what they are.

827

883
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 2: Liquor affects your judgment. Cigarettes just affect your lungs. Yeah,

884
