But 32 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: because of that first deal in eighty six, because it 33 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: was that was with your crew, that was yeah, with 34 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: my boys, that one Nia records on on the Eileen 35 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: the Eileen Brothers and uh on Nia records I had 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: I was.

But check this out, and 38 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, know you guys all probably noticed, but 39 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: people listening may not know this. That Bumpy was supposed 40 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: to be on the way to the studio to go 41 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: recorded with Eric b Well was that it wasn't on 42 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: the way to I was it was Eric b was 43 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: looking for um somebody to put on a project he 44 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: was doing, and I was introduced to him, and he 45 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: wanted one rapper, and I was down with a crew 46 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: of three of us. So I felt like if I 47 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: leave the group, that would be funked up because we 48 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: were in the process of trying to make a record. 49 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: So I just didn't show up because I felt like, 50 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: if he can't take all of us, then I can't 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: just abandon my team. And then they said, well, there's 52 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: two guys out here that you got to meet is 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: Freddie and Rock Him. And that's what happened. And I'm glady, 54 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: I'm I'm actually glad it worked out there way because 55 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: Eric believed in me. Because he believed in me so 56 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: much that after I made my record with the crew 57 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: Supreme Force, he actually said, you know, the record didn't 58 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: really do ship. You know, it didn't have marketing, it 59 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: didn't have you know, something they were through to throw 60 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: the record out, see the buzz. It didn't really rock. 61 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: But under in the streets it was all right. It 62 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: was all right. I think actually Rock Him was the 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: one who said, yo, go get He said, go get Fox. 64 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: He told my brother go get your brother, want to 65 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: talk to him, and he wanted to put He wanted 66 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: to put me in the studio to record my own project. 67 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: But Eric ended up being the one who followed through 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: with it, you know what I mean. So he followed 69 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: through with it, and Eric really believed in me. Eric 70 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: to this day still says, yo, man, you can do 71 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: so much with yourself. He's always pushing me to do 72 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: more and more and more. So that's all. That's why 73 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: I said, a lot of cats just want to be believed. 74 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: And Eric believed in me and still does. It's like 75 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: always telling me to do more. Eric was the one 76 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: who really grabbed a hold of and say, yo, you 77 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: should do your own album.

You ain't never letting the 88 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: industry dictate what success is. And I think that goes 89 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: for any artists. You gotta know what success is for you. 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: It's a hard place to get to, though, bro, when 91 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: you got all the ship in your face all the 92 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: time of what you're supposed to do, how are you 93 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: supposed to do it?

Hold on? 208 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: So when you had these comic friends before this whole Oh, 209 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: I hung out in the scene and watched it. I 210 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: I eat it like when you when you would see 211 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: me at a comedy club. I wasn't watching the comic. 212 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: I was watching the audience. I was doing this. What 213 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: did he say? How did they react? What did you say? 214 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: And I knew I was funny because everybody you know, 215 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: you teach with. I taught with humor. When I taught 216 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: martial arts, and I was I was teaching large groups 217 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: of people. I was teaching rooms of like sixty five 218 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: year olds, and to keep their attention for an hour, 219 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: that's a muscle that you have to really work out. 220 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: So I had that muscle worked out, commanding a room 221 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: full of people. Now I have to be funny. But 222 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: then I thought, oh, I got a right going back 223 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: to the freestyle thing again, comedians, this is not how 224 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: it works. I haven't written a joke in fifteen years. 225 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Every everything, it worked out, everything, all my whole hours 226 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: of memorize. So I showed up to the club. They 227 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: give me the fifteen, they give me the three spot. 228 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: I do fifteen minutes, I get off stage. Owner says, 229 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: come back tomorrow. You're on the show tomorrow. And I've 230 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: been doing ever since. The first guy, remember John Roy, 231 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: the comedian, John Roy, the alopecia guy. Yep, yeah, powder yeah, powder. 232 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: He goes, remember how we talked? He comes up and 233 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: he goes, hey, how long you've been doing comedy? And 234 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: I and I stay up when he talked, even done 235 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: a comedy. I can't breathe through my nose, he said, 236 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: And I can't grow anyway, said the cockiest answer. I said, well, 237 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: what time is it? And he told me the time 238 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: I go for about fifteen minutes, not always got I brows, 239 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: he's not out. At what point can a person and 240 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: ask you disrusted, because I think, well, either one of 241 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: you guys gain. At what point can a comedian actually 242 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: called himself a comedian? I always say after ten years, yeah, 243 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: that's that's when you've been doing it for a living. Um, 244 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: But now you could probably call yourself it after a year, 245 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: because in hip hop is different. I remember, well, listen, 246 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: after one year of just doing amateur nights, I said 247 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: I was a comedian. I'm gonna tell you. I knew 248 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't, but I said I was. When I felt 249 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: like I could finally call myself a comic is when 250 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: I got the Tonight Show. When I booked the Tonight Show, 251 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: and I was seven years in at that point, and 252 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: then when I and I did well, I had a 253 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: great set. And when I got back home, next thing, 254 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: you know, all the clubs are like, come on in 255 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: booking me on all the shows. When before I remember 256 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: going to the laugh Factory as a comedian and they 257 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't let me in unless I bought a ticket. Yeah. 258 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: And now after the tonight show, they're like, here, come in. 259 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: And I overheard a comedian complaining about his spot on 260 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: the lineup and why is he going on after me? 261 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: And and the guy said he just did the tonight 262 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: show and that that right there made me go, Okay, 263 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: now I'm a I didn't do ship for my career, 264 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: but it solidified me in the community of comics. I 265 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: did that when that happened to me. When I'm not 266 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: going to say this rappers name because I actually like 267 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: him and I don't want to blow a spot up 268 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: and wrap a rapper.

It was 632 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: one of those moments is that you know, you just 633 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: never expect going overseas, you know what I'm saying, Like 634 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: even in Europe, like my first record went gold in Germany, 635 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: which you know, paparazzi was the first record I ever 636 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: put out, and so before I got notoriety in the US, 637 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: which yeah, which was like my my, my, my second 638 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: the third album, you know, the the video for Paparazzi 639 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: was dope. The video for What You See is What 640 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: You Get? Yeah yeah, yeah, where it was one shot. 641 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: You know, like those were all your creative choices, because 642 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to be different in the West. But you know, 643 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: even though I was like coming from southern California, um, 644 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: you know, with the music, when I my first breaks 645 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: were in Europe, Like I went out my first tour 646 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: and experience was in Germany. I got a gold record 647 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: out there because apparently yet like ninety six, right, So 648 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: apparently the sample that's used in Paparazzi was like their 649 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: damn near national anthem. It's like their fun this this, this, 650 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: this this thing that's been like in their lives forever, 651 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: and they all loved this one particular song, and so 652 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: when it was sampling the useful paper rosy, they thought 653 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: I did it on purpose, and I was like, no, 654 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: I fucking I had no idea, you know what I'm saying, 655 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: Like what this was. It's just sounded dope, And so 656 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: it just went gold over there. And then you know, 657 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: like I did a lot of tour in my first tour, 658 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: and experiences were in Europe, and so when by the 659 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: time I got here, I had been doing festivals. I 660 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: had been doing like if I would have stayed confined 661 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: to you know, just read you no hip hop? Know 662 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: that that That that whole the whole perspective of how 663 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: to rock a show, how crowd control happens. How when 664 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: when the drop a record, when it shut the funk up? 665 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, When when the when? When 666 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: the when the let the crowd say? Ship? You know, 667 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: it's it's it comes from having that experience. It's seeing 668 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: other people rock massive souls like that. So then you 669 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: get into the idea of, you know, whether it's five 670 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: motherfucker's or five hundred thousand motherfucker's, we're gonna rock the 671 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: same show. And that becomes like the way you're sharp 672 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: in yourself. You know, you learned at the ship about 673 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: turning in you. I did some of the dumbest mistakes. 674 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: I remember we went to Europe and I went over 675 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: that motherfucker with merch and Duffel bags, and then I 676 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: had my own ship I had two Duffel bags full 677 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 1: of sneakers. And then when you get to that airport 678 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: and they start weighing that ship, all your money goes 679 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: into overweight bags like so you but that's a learning process. 680 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: You start teaching yourself. Yo, I can't now you go 681 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: over there. I got one pair of sneak to pair 682 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: of boots. I'm aware to ship the whole way over there. 683 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: It's a couple of ways and handle that. First of all, 684 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: they get you because the flight's feed cheapest. Fuck you go, oh, 685 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: we're good. Yeah, I could go for a hundred pounds. Great, 686 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: but they ain't telling you. They're charging you from everything 687 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: from seating to luggage check in to way to your clothes. 688 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: And it's definitely a learning experience. Some cities were flying 689 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: an hour away something. I'm saying, you gotta fly something, 690 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: But this is it was an experience. I learned to 691 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: take the train. Love the train. The train put you 692 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: right in the middle of town. You gotta understand if 693 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: you're in the middle of if you're in the city, 694 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: getting to the airport is an hour hour and a 695 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: half sometime two hour drive. You get to the airport, 696 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: you gotta check in check your bags in and then 697 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 1: you fly off you land, then once again get your bags. 698 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: That's another hour and an hour and a half, two 699 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: hours into town. Train go in the middle of the town. 700 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 1: Put you in the middle of the town. Your your 701 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: bags could be as heavy as you want them. Ships 702 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: just don't look like they're heavy, and you'll you'll get 703 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: over with that ship. As far as merger loading all 704 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: that ship up and then every sign you look at, 705 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: everything in Germany look like fark to me. I remember, 706 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: I used to laugh every time. That's the only thing 707 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: I remember. I just see it. That's you know, you 708 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: don't know the later I would get the merchmid in 709 00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: and what London and get a couple of a bag 710 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: ship to France, another bag ship to Germany and and 711 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: but you did. You didn't start off like that. You 712 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: had to learn telling you how it is. Yeah, no, 713 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: but yeah, we're get now. But dude, I'm talking about 714 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: the learning process. You make them. I make those mistakes 715 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: one time.

I didn't know that it's your man. 876 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:04,240 Speaker 1: Mailman is wicked. He'd been nice a long time, like quietly. 877 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:05,839 Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't know he did a lot 878 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:12,320 Speaker 1: of bangings, like because I'll be telling him I just 879 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 1: did some time put stuff out there, and you might like, 880 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: I think artists in general are walking around with a 881 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: lot of money and they don't even know it, especially 882 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: from a publishing point of view, because you know, Mailman 883 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: undid these incredible songs that but you you tracking your 884 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: money here it's mainly the labels, but tracking it overseas 885 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: and Europe and Japan and all these places, that is 886 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 1: your job. And I just learned that um recently because 887 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 1: I was tracking down some money that was old to 888 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: me by label and they was telling me, well, we 889 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 1: only got a certain portion of your money when the 890 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: streaming came into play. You know, it's up to the artists, 891 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: the higher administration, publishing, administration, companies to find your money. Overseas. 892 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: Most artists don't know that ship, so they're walking around 893 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: probably thinking they don't have no money, probably sitting on 894 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 1: a shipload of money. And what's crazy is that when 895 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: we talk about streaming, that's a whole another issue because 896 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 1: I think, honestly, the ship is illegal because when we 897 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 1: signed contracts, we signed for a physical standpoint, cassette, vinyl, 898 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: c D, that was the three physical things. Y'all created 899 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: another platform with streaming once nobody is mad about. But 900 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 1: what it is is that your your your lawyer, your 901 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: attorney negotiates the three foundations. I mean, at the time 902 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 1: it was cassette, vinyl, c D, digital didn't exist. So now, okay, 903 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: y'all find a way to sell people more music digitally. 904 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 1: But shouldn't they call a lawyer. Isn't say, all right, 905 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 1: we we're gonna put this out on another platform. We 906 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: need to negotiate the terms. Nah. They just put the 907 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: streaming out there and decide to give artists a percentage 908 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 1: of a penny per stream and then not only come 909 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 1: up with what they feel they want to give you. 910 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,919 Speaker 1: Don't tell you you need to chase whatever money's out there. 911 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: So about tom artists do get hip to it about 912 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: seven eight years later and the statutes of limitation runs 913 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: out on the money, artists loses the money. I don't 914 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 1: believe in statutes of limitation. No money. Yeah, I mean 915 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: I understand your stand for you you owe. If you owe, 916 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,439 Speaker 1: you're gonna oh until you die, or you're gonna die 917 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,879 Speaker 1: on or because you make them. Make sure y'all get 918 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 1: that clear, and it's called shows up. But that's where 919 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: we are with streaming, where a lot of artists got 920 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: money out there that they don't even know because the 921 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 1: streaming thing is just it's out of hand. I didn't 922 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: see my royalty start the quadruple in the last few 923 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: years because that's why because if you ain't, nobody gonna call, 924 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: you'll say, you know what, we have a check for you. 925 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 1: And if they do well, I think it's it's the 926 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: artist stand on top of the situation. When the label 927 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: feel they could get away with it, that's when they're 928 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 1: gonna try to get away with it. I think you 929 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: need a team. I think you need a strong team 930 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 1: around you, somebody that because you know, one person can't 931 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 1: do everything.

Yeah, what's 977 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:52,719 Speaker 1: this extra backup? Yeah? I played in Switzerland one time, bro, 978 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: and I think with Switzerland it may may. I think 979 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: with Switzerland. I went in my dressing room, Bro was 980 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 1: three bitten apples, and I'm bowl motherfucker's rock. They rocked 981 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: the dress before I got in, that bunch of Coca cola. 982 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 1: Solda's all on the floor, just all fun up and 983 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 1: it smelled like a ton of weed was puffed up 984 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: in that with blunt payball all over the place. So 985 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 1: you just get on the rock and then get the Yeah, 986 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 1: they don't want to eat all that. Sometimes people sometimes meat. 987 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 1: They feel like they feel like I'm gonna spend all 988 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: my money on this ship and you ain't gonna eat 989 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 1: it anyways. On the Seminela tour, yeah, they put that 990 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: ship out in the morning. It's like, how long this 991 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 1: ship been sitting here until since? You don't realize how 992 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 1: big of a deal that becomes to some artists though, 993 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,879 Speaker 1: you know, you know they'll fight you over per diem 994 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 1: and and how many What do you want your dress room? 995 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 1: I want snickers bars, chicken wings. They make all this 996 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,280 Speaker 1: ship up and they don't eat it. So I figured 997 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: I guess they figured why then I look forward to 998 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:54,720 Speaker 1: from off stage my liquor and my wings. And remember 999 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 1: I left stage one time and I got there in 1000 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 1: my dress room was pat Is drinking my Hennessy. So 1001 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, first of all, nobody was supposed to be backstage, 1002 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: so it was the opening acts and ship. So I told, uh, 1003 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,800 Speaker 1: told promoter, so where's my Hennessy at? Oh? Now we 1004 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,800 Speaker 1: put your Hennessey out. I say, I don't have it, 1005 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 1: and you know I seen them drinking it over there, 1006 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 1: so that can't possibly be mine. We're not gonna be 1007 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:29,479 Speaker 1: able to get you. Oh this is not possible. It's gone. 1008 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 1: This is not possible. This time of night, very hard 1009 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: to beginning. Even you're gonna give me an extra what 1010 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 1: I think I got them for extra four hundred, just 1011 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: because it was just the principle for me. You know. 1012 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 1: The reason for the intricate writers was for rock, Like 1013 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 1: the rock band started that ship. I think it was 1014 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 1: either Aerosmith or the Rolling Stones or something. They had 1015 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 1: all these really detailed things on their rider, you know, 1016 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: like down to the blue Eminem's and all this type 1017 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: of ship. And they said they do that to see 1018 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 1: if the promoter is reading the contract properly. And they 1019 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 1: said the one time they got in the dressing room 1020 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: and something was a couple of things were missing from 1021 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 1: the rider that night, the trust on the stage fell off. 1022 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 1: Means that they weren't paying attention, so they're trying to 1023 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,399 Speaker 1: take short so like they didn't put the stage together 1024 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 1: the right way because they're not paying attention. So that's 1025 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: the reason they had those in the first place. Big Shig, 1026 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: Big Shig, he used to go in the dress room, 1027 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: did he used to go and go, hey, he would 1028 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,760 Speaker 1: make his plate, and big Ship would make his plate 1029 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 1: and wrap that ship in illuminum foil and stash it. 1030 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 1: So he was the only one who was eating. One time, 1031 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:40,879 Speaker 1: I mean one time he was gonna kill Gurgle because 1032 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: grow found his plate. His plate. He's chasing Google around 1033 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: the dressing room. But Shug was a smart one. Sugar 1034 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,919 Speaker 1: would go make his plate, make his food and put 1035 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 1: that ship away hot it. You know, could people be 1036 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:59,879 Speaker 1: in the people create riders. I make you sign off 1037 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,800 Speaker 1: on all the paragraphs so you can't say you ain't no, 1038 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 1: you ain't see ship. You're gonna initiale all the important ship. Yeah, 1039 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,160 Speaker 1: that's a lot just to get a show on.

You know, so you ask it for simple ship. 1044 00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,759 Speaker 1: You ain't even asking for. You wanted to ask for 1045 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,319 Speaker 1: a couple of two leaders, some liquor, some wings, light 1046 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 1: ship quote on blue and they can't get you.

Let me 1101 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: tell you, learning how to speak at least a few 1102 00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 1: phrases in a local language can really help you in 1103 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: so many ways. You can order at a restaurant, ask 1104 00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 1: for directions, and get a deeper understanding of the culture. Look. 1105 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 1: I know it can be scary to start learning a 1106 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 1: new language, but Babbel makes the whole process fun and 1107 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 1: easy with bite sized lessons you can actually use in 1108 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 1: the real world.

And ordering pizza in Germany 1150 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,040 Speaker 1: must be like ordering sushi in the Midwest. Yeah, it 1151 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: just came. Trust I don't trust it in Germany. I mean, 1152 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what's been in their ovens. The reason 1153 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: the show is called culturally canceled. Yo, have you ever 1154 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 1: gone to Trinidad.

So good though everything's not 1170 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 1: in other countries, it ain't processed because they don't give 1171 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 1: a funk about the shelf. Just make money. They're just 1172 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 1: trying to sell your food. And that's the difference. In America, 1173 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 1: everything is like to last longer so they can make 1174 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 1: more money.

I wrapped on a couple 1231 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: of songs, but nothing like I wanted the other rappers 1232 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 1: to wrap on it because I would like produce. I 1233 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,880 Speaker 1: wanted to produce, but learning how to do more than 1234 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: just one thing. Owning comedy, you gotta just just jokes. 1235 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 1: You don't want to you know what I mean? Well, 1236 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, you get the opportunity to get an acting 1237 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,440 Speaker 1: gig if you want to do that, or but you 1238 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 1: still got to be funny, like like the transition of 1239 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 1: a comedian doing a serious role. There's not many guys 1240 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 1: that can do that. Ship. No, Actually it's easier for 1241 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,880 Speaker 1: comics serious because we have dark dark Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, 1242 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:34,160 Speaker 1: those guys are amazing, dramatic foxes, foxes because it's all, 1243 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of dark, dark sides.

That's 1248 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 1: why I think that's why I like Chino and Chino 1249 01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,680 Speaker 1: XL so much because he always just said ship. That 1250 01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:01,960 Speaker 1: made me go, oh ship.

That's a hard position to take, 1253 01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 1: especially when everybody is so critical. You can't say ship 1254 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 1: no more like nothing everything. You gotta you gotta get 1255 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 1: that at your head because the people that are already 1256 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: riding with you, they're gonna keep riding, and technically you 1257 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,520 Speaker 1: can't say it.

You know, people cancel ship and 1260 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 1: all that other stuff. I mean, if your people is 1261 01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 1: with you and they know your character and who you've 1262 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,240 Speaker 1: been over the last twenty some years in your career, 1263 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:39,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if you had that, then you're good.

Just focus on the people 1268 01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 1: that are already riding much because the people that are 1269 01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,080 Speaker 1: riding with you don't want you to switch. No, many 1270 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 1: you've been to the people that didn't give a funk 1271 01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 1: about you.

See 1273 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,200 Speaker 1: I should have did the industry shakedown. I didn't shakedown. 1274 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: I went hard on everybody and I didn't give a 1275 01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:07,480 Speaker 1: funk at the time. But it was it was rappers 1276 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 1: who was like they were like, if you funk with him, 1277 01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 1: we're not working with you, and all like it was 1278 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 1: like that. It was like personal. It was everything, but 1279 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 1: everything was personally because I felt like, ain't nobody busting 1280 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,960 Speaker 1: it Mr Charlie and Mr Charlie is the one robbing 1281 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,080 Speaker 1: everybody and doing you know what I mean? And then 1282 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,200 Speaker 1: him and his minions are the ones that are given 1283 01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,000 Speaker 1: everybody to business. But you know that it was a 1284 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 1: lot of that going on. There was a lot of 1285 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,080 Speaker 1: people that were like, I can't put Bumpy on this 1286 01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,840 Speaker 1: show because you know, Live Nation is oh yeah, this 1287 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 1: person is there's that person and that's like, funk all 1288 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: of this ship.

He was 1379 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,439 Speaker 1: just tired. He just passed out because he had to drink. 1380 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, he's not listening because he's wasted. You know. 1381 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,080 Speaker 1: Your your little story about the stealing or the stealing 1382 01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,599 Speaker 1: of the jokes reminded me of something as a kid 1383 01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 1: that I was like, when you think about hip hop 1384 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,759 Speaker 1: and you think about samples, right, there's a lot of samples. 1385 01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 1: But when somebody uses a sample a certain way and 1386 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 1: then somebody else uses as sample almost identically, but it's 1387 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,400 Speaker 1: not It wasn't sad. It's not like a loop or something. 1388 01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 1: You have to be creative with how you sampled it. 1389 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,720 Speaker 1: There was one specific instance that I remember, and I'm 1390 01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,919 Speaker 1: almost certain it's your record. So it was you sampled 1391 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,800 Speaker 1: a record and then Pete Rock sampled it on the 1392 01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,880 Speaker 1: second on the Caramel No on Um whatever the second 1393 01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,840 Speaker 1: album was called, and they looked it the same way, 1394 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,960 Speaker 1: and it was actual facts. I think not actual facts. Um, 1395 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 1: I can't remember. It was like I think it was 1396 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 1: like the rising to the top sample or something, and 1397 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,320 Speaker 1: it was just looped a certain you're talking about O C. 1398 01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:38,400 Speaker 1: I'll take you there right, see what you're gonna do. 1399 01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 1: But the loop, right, it wasn't just it, it was 1400 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:46,280 Speaker 1: the way. It's the way that Buck while chopped, he 1401 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,400 Speaker 1: chopped around the piano part of keep rising at the 1402 01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 1: top where it wasn't money voicing there no more. It 1403 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:57,200 Speaker 1: was just doom doom, doom doom. But it was a 1404 01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:01,840 Speaker 1: very specific sample. And yeah, so Buck did it first, 1405 01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,679 Speaker 1: and well we can always say whoever did it first, 1406 01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:09,400 Speaker 1: but came out with it first, and then cl and 1407 01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,400 Speaker 1: them Pete and c L came out with it second. 1408 01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:17,719 Speaker 1: You know, I have to be politically correct because sometimes 1409 01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,960 Speaker 1: I learned that you can have something that like I 1410 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,240 Speaker 1: got music right now, and I hear people come out 1411 01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,639 Speaker 1: with loops, like damn, I had that ship four years ago. 1412 01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,599 Speaker 1: But in my mind, but so I'm not gonna use 1413 01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 1: my ship now because they're coming out with it. Sometimes 1414 01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:37,439 Speaker 1: it's just like sometimes depending on what it is, fucking 1415 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 1: my ship is better, I'm gonna come out with it. 1416 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,639 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just like I'm being at mind state where 1417 01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,080 Speaker 1: everything on my album I want to be fresh. I 1418 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,720 Speaker 1: don't want it to be with anybody else. Use, So 1419 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 1: it's just a mind state of how you look at stole. 1420 01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:04,160 Speaker 1: I stole it better than you started. But yeah, I 1421 01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 1: mean that happened and the hip hop especially to anyway. 1422 01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:17,559 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna leave that alone. Dude, This dude 1423 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: is no longer here. But uh one, I created one 1424 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 1: and he just took the whole entire instrumental. And it 1425 01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,799 Speaker 1: bugs me out when people say he's sampled like you sample. 1426 01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:32,000 Speaker 1: No I didn't. I took two notes and I I 1427 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 1: created something. He took my whole fucking instrumental from just 1428 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,680 Speaker 1: throwing it on and doing a song.
