24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: out of Pasadena for a minute. And I feel like

25
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: this year, you know, a lot of people have taken

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: advantage of the pandemic in a good way and not

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of let that. You know, there's been a lot

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: of people using it as an excuse as to why

29
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: they're slowing down, and Katori Walker has done quite the opposite.

30
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: He put out a project called Idols that is extremely dope.

31
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: It pretty much pays homage to all of the idols

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: on the musical side that he has, Kendrick fifty Cent,

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: Kanye West, j Cole Drake, etc. And I really enjoyed

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: it so much. I was like, man, I gotta have

35
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: this guy come up and just have a good conversation

36
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: because I know he's got a dope taste in hip

37
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: hop and he could wrap his ass off, which is

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: why there also be a freestyle dropping from Katory Walker

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: beginning of next week. But we just had a dope

40

41
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: come up, but also just a dope hip hop conversation.

42
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,400

Speaker 1: free body of work and this is my most like

77
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: honest body of work. This is the one like the

78
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: ones that I'm most proud of, you know, like you know,

79
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: every other body of work has done different things for me,

80
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: but this one is just like, Yo, all right, this

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: dude can really do his damn thing, you know. Yeah.

82
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: For people who are listening who might not have heard

83
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: of you, you put a record out called Idols, and

84
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: the concept of the album was really to pay homage

85
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: to your idols in the music industry. It's an EP.

86
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: Each record is dedicated to we got what, Kendrick, Cole, Drake, Kanye,

87
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: and then one to yourself, one to myself. Yeah, when

88
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: you were making like like it was the idea a

89
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: conscious idea when you were record it or did you

90
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: like hear the songs be like you know what this

91
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: this was like? Like like or did you do? It?

92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: Was everything on purpose? I think half of the project

93
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: was on purpose. I think I did. I did one

94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: song and I was actually trying to mimic Cold, like yeah,

95
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: I want to do a Cold flow in this one.

96
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: And I was a record that I didn't even make

97
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: the project actually because I had two Cold records. So

98
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, this this is dope. And then I

99
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: did a Kendrick record. I'm like, Yo, this is dope.

100
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: You know. And then after that, I was just like, Yo,

101
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this all together and make this a

102
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: body of work, you know, And like the last ones

103
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: I did was the fallback record for myself and then

104
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: the higher hopes to Kanye won because I was like

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: the toughest thing to do because Kanye is like a

106
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Swiss army knife. So how do you Yeah, Kanye's he's

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: my favorite artist. Yeah, he's an artist for real, bro, Yeah,

108
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: more than a fan of Jesus Is King. I'm not

109
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: gonna lie, but you know, discography wise, nobody can fuck

110
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah. I think I think the thing that

111
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: I got from Jesus is King is I felt that

112
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: peace listening to it. It wasn't the best lyrical album,

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't the best mixed album at all, but it

114
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: felt peaceful. It was great production. There was some great

115
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: production on there. Shout out to boost the Beasts. But

116
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's dope because like, not a lot of

117
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: people pay homage to fifty as much as they should.

118
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: Fifty is a pioneer, bro. Fifty is like his run

119
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: was so it was it was. I mean his run

120
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: at the top was short, right, It was two albums

121
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: long plus the g Unit album and then you know,

122
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: the Curtis came out and things kind of were left.

123
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: But you know, we're talking Get Rich or Die Trying

124
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: is like I feel like, unarguably a top five album

125
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: of all time. You could put it higher, but I

126
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: feel like if you put it any lower than five,

127
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: you're you're fucking lyon or you're a hater. But like,

128
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: definitely dope. Like to see someone pay homage to fifty

129
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: because I feel like that happens. A lot of people

130
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: pay homage this year, like a lot of people. I

131
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: think it was what three or four mini men. Oh yeah,

132
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: that was a lot. You know, you're right, it's a

133
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: good year for fifty twenty one. Savage did it, Pop

134
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: Pop Smoke did it. Yeah, and I did it. Yeah.

135
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't know who else did it, but yeah, so

136
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: and it was all that same record, and I was

137
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: all Get Rich of Die Trying. So yeah, he's getting

138
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: to respect he deserved. Fifty had a video game, bro,

139
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: like not a lot of right hey, and it wasn't

140
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: a bad game. It's a great game. That shit was solid.

141
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: You'd be with young Buck Lloyd Banks, spring up fools

142
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 1: in Iraq, Like what the fuck is going on? Fifty

143
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: fifty had a crazy run. That was the first time

144
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: I was listening to fifty when I was I think

145
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: I think that was what two thousand and two when

146
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: that came out two thousand and one, three two. I

147
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: think you're right. Two thousand and three. Prob. That was

148
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: when I first started writing my own raps because when

149
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: I was young, I used to have like my uncles

150
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: wrap myself for me. So I was listening to get

151
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: rich of I try and trying to pin out some

152
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: shit like to mimic fifty. So that's why that album

153
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: meant the world to me. And the Unit album was

154
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: fired Bag for Mercy was crazy. That was a great album.

155
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: Fifty was like I don't think he got enough credit

156
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: for his hooks. Bro oh, oh my god. That's why

157
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: when they were talking about like the Game in fifty verses,

158
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: I was like, like, Game is an a legend. I

159
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: love Game, love his music, but like his biggest songs

160
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: that he could play have fifty cent on them. Yeah

161
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And it's like, how

162
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: would that work? They both wrap it together. Yeah, it's

163
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: a point for each It's like a point for each

164
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, and then the artwork. What was dope about

165
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: your artwork for your project was it just kind of

166
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: incorporated all of that on like in a very tasteful way.

167
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: Whose idea was was the artwork? So me and my

168
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: creative manager, his name is Cash, we had just been

169

170
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: together and just looked at weird. So then I'm like, yo,

172

00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: ago you had you were coming into a situation with Capital.

187
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: What's the update or the status of your situation record

188
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: label wise? We cut to eyes. I'm now independent, you know, Capital.

189
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: We had our run, you know, we did our thing,

190
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: and I think for where I wanted to go and

191
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to do, we just wasn't seeing eye

192
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: to eye. And then you know, Lord rest is my

193
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: a R. I ended up passing away. So it was

194
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: like that was just a thing, you know. So I'm

195
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: now independent. I want to be able to like freely move,

196
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, do what you want to do. Yeah. Man,

197
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, unless it's a bag player.

198
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't think labels got that much power these days.

199
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: You ain't lying, Yeah, I mean, look, but I was

200
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: just crazy because you got you're on the playlist that

201
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: you that the label would get you on anyway. Yeah, yeah, man,

202
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: I got on the playlist just off the strength. When

203
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: I first dropped, I wasn't on no playlist. And I

204
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: think Carl Cherry had heard it and was like, yo,

205
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah. I saw he was like tweeting tweeting

206
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: out your lyrics and shit. Yeah, and it's like, yo,

207
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: but I don't know you from nowhere, So that was

208
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: just an organic thing. Was just organic, bro, because you know,

209
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: he's like the gate the gatekeeper that everyone. Yeah, it

210
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: was organic bro. And he had hit me like, bro,

211
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: this is crazy, this is crazy, And I'm like, yeah,

212
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad you tapping in with the music and speaking

213
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: of the label, this is something that the label had

214
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: had for a year, you know. Well, it's also kind

215
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: of like reaffirms the fact that you don't need the

216
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: label because really, what else, Like that's why that's what

217
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: they're there for, right, is to try to get you

218
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: placements or you know, but dog, if you are like

219
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: outside of a bag, like you said, yeah, what else,

220
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: what else do you need a label for? These days?

221
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna give somebody twenty percent of what you're

222
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: doing to press upload. I want to ask you, So

223
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: we're going to go through the project and I want

224
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: you to tell me your favorite albums from each of

225
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: these artists. Well, obviously he's got to be giving your

226
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: dad trying for fifty out. Yeah, of course that goes

227
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. By the way, Massacres, super swept on. Yeah,

228
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: but what about I mean, you say your favorite it

229
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: was eight awaits your favorite album since she used the heart. Nah,

230
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: that's just a symbol. It makes sense. Graduation, graduation, It's like, Bro,

231
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: that was impeccable. It's a great body of work. It's like,

232
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I think everybody liked to say

233
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: my beautiful, dark twisted, but that I'm a Late Registration guy,

234
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: also older, older Kanye. Yeah, I love Late Registration. Yeah,

235
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: graduation was solid, and I just I don't know, man,

236
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: I Mike, I'm Mike. I'm not as high as graduation

237
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: on graduation as everyone else. I'm not. It's a great look.

238
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Kanye's got the best discography ever. Yeah, He's got a

239
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: great discography. I feel like Late Registration and College Dropout

240
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: were like brothers sister albums. It kind of sounded I

241
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: didn't hear that much evolution in the in the body

242
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: of work. They kind of very same. Nah, Late Registration

243
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: have John Brian on the production. It was so much

244
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: more like that. I feel like they could, they could

245
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: be a deluxe album of each other. I disagree, all right,

246
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: So let's say the jump from Late Registration and Graduation.

247
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: Those are two completely things, different things late Registration. I

248
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: feel like the jump from each album is very different.

249
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like those two are in

250
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: the same ballpark. I feel like my Beautiful, dark, twisted

251
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: Fantasy is his best album because you really can't say

252
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: ship and then it's really up to you to say

253
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: what your favorite is. Yeah, yeah, these are two closest,

254
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: they sound sonically closest, they're the They're the closest out

255
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: of any two. Yeah. Yeah, Graduation, Yeah, Yeah, I just

256
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: got into an argument with somebody and YouTube was killing

257
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: me because I said I like Jesus more than Graduation. Yeah,

258
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Jesus Is it's an unpopular king and Jesus, oh you're

259
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: fucking crazy, very unpopular opinion, and h I love Jesus,

260
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: Jesus Is King. Go somewhere else with that. Yeah, Yay

261
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: was slept on though. Yeay was a good album because

262
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: I feel like nobody really talking about mental health. That

263
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: song ghost Town, Yeah, it's hard to make a better

264
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: song than ghost Town. Man, that song was Crazy was

265
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: a great record too, Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. Yeah, Yeah,

266
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: Yay was slept and then Kidsy ghost was like, yeah,

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: I feel like Kitsy Ghosts Sleeper for like one of

268
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: the best Kanye projects ever. Yeah, I've never really I know,

269
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: no line, no cap. I've never really been a Cutty

270
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: fan like that. It's crazy. I've never really been a

271
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: Cutty fan. No. I mean that's fair because I'm I'm

272
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: a I wouldn't say I'm the biggest Cuddy fan either.

273
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: I like dos a is a Cuddy. It's it's it's

274
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: it's like sit through a whole project to Cutty's probably

275
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: harder for me. Like my favorite cutting project is when

276
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: he was like still like really rapping, Like he had

277
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: a project called a Kid named Cuddy, a mixtape sponsored

278
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: by ten Deep, and then you know, the man on

279
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: the moonshit is cool. People love it, Like you can't

280
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: tell shit to a Kit Cutty fan because that'd be

281
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: like he's the greatest ever. Yeah, I mean you've met

282
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: those kinds of people, right, Yeah, bro, I mean yeah,

283
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: those Kid Cutty fans are fucking crazy. But I get it,

284
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Like listen, man, this music is a beautiful subjective thing.

285
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: And I love Cuddy like you know in doses, I

286
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: just you know, I feel you on that. Yeah, he

287
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: got his He's at his niche audience for sure, sit

288
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: where he sits. But I got my taste and my flavors. Okay,

289
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: what about Jake Coles, what's your favorite Cold project? All right,

290
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: so my favorite Cold project is definitely Born Center. Okay,

291
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: that's a great body of work. If not if not

292
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: Born Born Centered in twenty fourteen, but those are really

293
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: forests drivers kind of like the consensus. Yeah, but that's

294
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: when that's when he got the respect. He that's when

295
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: he got disrespect he deserved. But Boring Center came out

296
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: the same day as Jesus Bro. But I what I

297
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: think don't get enough credit is those truly yours EPs

298
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: that he put out. Yeah, my god, those by those

299
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: little projects was crazy. I think for just like nostalgic purposes.

300
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed. I still like love Friday Night Lights.

301
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights is crazy. He was. That's I don't know.

302
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: I feel like he was just some super duper duper

303
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: and the warm up was crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

304
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is like with Cole like he

305
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: bounced back. I was not a fan of his first

306
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: the album because there was so much old ship on there,

307
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: so much leaked ship, and you know what he did

308
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: on that first album. Me and you were just talking

309
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: about he was like purposely trying to make radio records. Yeah, diase,

310
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: because you remember like he couldn't get an album out,

311
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: like they kept strowing his ship out and then like

312
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, there was like mister nice watch and work

313
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: out and all that shit. It was cool, But like

314
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: you said, I think Born Tender was like the first

315
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: time he just did what the fuck he wanted. Yeah,

316
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: I think where he met the nuts some ship for

317
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: the critics and ship for the crowd. I think that's

318
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: where he finally. Okay, this is a hard one Kendrick,

319
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: because I mean he's three for three if we're talking

320
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: major releases. Obviously, if you throw section eighty and there,

321
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: he was four for four. But like I mean, Kendrick's

322
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: got no misses on his Uh yeah, Kendrick is hard.

323
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna say good kid in mass City

324
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: because I felt like he literally was telling my story

325
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: bar for bar, Like I'm talking about like hitting the

326
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: house and shit like that and friends getting murdered and

327
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: all like literally word for word, bar for bar. I

328
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: was like I was, I was hurt, like, yo, guy,

329
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: why are you and somebody else tell my story like

330
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: this man's telling my story, so that that resonated me

331
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: with me differently. And then I liked to Pember Butterfly

332
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: cosonically there it sounds like nothing I've ever heard. Yeah,

333
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: if you put a gun in my head, I would say,

334
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: good Combat City. But to Piper Butterflies right there too,

335
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: and also to Pember Butterfly was like, it's age so well.

336
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: When it came out, it was just I feel like

337
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: it's over everyone's head. Yeah, nobody couldn't up. I don't

338
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: think we were ready for that. After after second, I'm

339
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: not sec after it was like, Yo, I had to

340
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: listen to it a couple of times, and as I

341
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: listened to it, I'm like wow, and then damn, it

342
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: is just a fucking you know, just press plays hit

343
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: after after Yeah, broh is great. All right, last one, Drake,

344
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. I will say as far Ours

345
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: albums is either gonna be take Care, probably take care,

346
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: take care. I want to say so far Gone because

347
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: that project did a lot for me. When I first

348
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: heard it, I was like, Yo, this is out of here.

349
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: But uh, I say take care. If y'all listen to

350
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: take care, Bro. That's hit after hit for sure. I

351
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: when the hip hop head say Drake don't have a

352
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: classic album, it's like, yo, bro, damn bro, that's me.

353
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: I say take Care as the closest thing he has

354
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: to say Care not a classic album. Well, I'm not

355
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 1: even saying it's not a classic album because it might

356
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: be a classic to me and to you. But I

357
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: just don't feel like it's like a consensus classic, like

358
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: you know how like you say, like good Kid, Mad City,

359
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: it's like an undeniable classic take Care. People argue whether

360
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: or not it's a classic, and and so I think

361
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: take Care as a classic. Personally for me, it's a classic.

362
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of albums I person I just don't

363
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: think it's like a like a undeniable, consensus classic album,

364
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: like you know when you say Doggy Style, Get Richard

365
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: Die Trying, Like these are albums like nobody will ever

366
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: say anything different. Take Care is close. But like you said,

367
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who say Drake doesn't have

368
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: a classic album. I think take Care as a classic.

369
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's like it's not a consensus

370
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: like yo, undeniable, nobody's gonna say shit to you if

371
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: you say, you know, a Quimini from Outcast is a classic, Like,

372
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: who's gonna say, like, you know what I'm saying, take care,

373
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: there's some, there's some, you know some, there might be

374
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: an argument. I had this argument with my manager the

375
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: other day, and I was like, go back and play

376
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: the album because I think a lot of people don't

377
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: realize that all those records were on that same album right, right,

378
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: right a lot of times because Drake had Drake has

379
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: had a crazy run. He's still in his run, right,

380
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: but at that time, he was just literally like he

381
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: owned the radio, he owned all the spaces. But Kendrick, yeah, bro,

382
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: like yeah, Kendrick had his own record on there. So

383
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: when you go back and listen, like how many hit

384
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: records he had on there that weren't like even for

385
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: a radio that's just like, yo, this is just Drake.

386
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: You know, I think you'll you can say that one

387
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: is a classic. I don't know what whatever Crew Level

388
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: was on there, right, yeah, yeah, crew Love. Yeah, you know,

389
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. I think it's a classic,

390
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: but I just think that it's not like, you know,

391
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: I think I'm just waiting for Drake to drop a

392
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: project that like, upon first listen, you're like, oh my god.

393
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that take Care is not that,

394
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: but I just mean, like you can't say shit about

395
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: Good Kid Mass City. Yeah No, Like if someone told you, like, nah,

396
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: that ain't a classic, you know, like like you'd be like,

397
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: you're like, shut the fuck up. But a lot of

398
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: people whose opinion you would respect and hip hop might

399
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: not say to take Care as a class I just

400
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: mean it's a classic to me, to you subjectively, we

401
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: all have our own classics, you know what I'm saying.

402
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: But I just don't think Drake's got that one that

403
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: like there's no argument for I think the reason why

404
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: I take Care is in a classic because it's not

405
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: a themed album. I think the skits on Good Kid

406
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: Mass City is what makes it this classic body of work.

407
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: The same thing with a Tip of a Butterfly or

408
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: even Damn. But it's like it's a cohesive body of

409
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: work to where you cannot deny it. And creatively it

410
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: was like a lot of just risk taking. Yeah, I

411
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: just think, Yeah, I don't know, man, I love Drake.

412
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: Nothing was the same my favorite Drake album, But I

413
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: do think take Care my book is classic. Yeah, I

414
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: used to nothing was the same clouds because that's more known. Really. Yeah,

415
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: the clouds is like when you see those clouds, oh

416
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: the clouds on the album cover. Yeah, oh yeah that

417
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: was That's not my Drake my favorite Drake project. Just

418
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: a great album. Yeah, but it made sense, you know

419
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about looking at those clouds. It

420
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: makes sense. So yeah, so what what spark? Now you're independent?

421
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: What's next for you? This this project is out, it's

422
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: been going crazy, But what's next for you? So? I

423
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: got two projects in the works. I got Ignorance Part

424
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: two that I'm kind of iffy on putting out because

425
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: Ignorant Part one was dedicated to my brother and I

426
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: don't want to step on his toes, you know, uh,

427
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: and like kind of try to recreate some energy when

428
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: it was like really organic. And then I'm working on

429
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: on my debut even though nobody's looking for it. I'm

430
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: like literally just putting songs away. So you're like official album,

431
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: like they are official, like more than seven tracks. I've

432
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: never put out a eping that's more than seven tracks.

433
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: I want to really have something where like it's undeniable

434
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: from top to bottom. So I'm sitting on fifty sixty records,

435
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: like every artist you know, sitting on a whole lot

436
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: of records and just wait for the right time to

437
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: put it out because I what's the right time? Though

438
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: there is no right time, but like, how do you

439
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: determine that. I hate when people say that I'm waiting

440
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: for the right time to put something, but I don't know.

441
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: It was the right to put out idols when I

442
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: put it out. But a lot of people using the

443
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: pandemic on why they're not putting music. I'm like, you're

444
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: fucking tripping. People are at home with nothing to do

445
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 1: and they're listening to music. Yeah. I just feel like

446
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: my thing is I always want to put out a

447
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: body of work that is cohesive. Every one of my

448
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: body of works was themed, every single one of them.

449
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: So I don't want to just put out a body

450
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: of work just like oh, this is music here, you

451
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: can have it. I might put out a single, but

452
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to just put out something that it's

453
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: not like, Oh, I understand what you're trying to do here,

454
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: because I feel like that's the biggest thing for me

455
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: as an artist, Like Yo, he's telling stories with everything

456
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: he does, and everybody at work meant something to him.

457
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: You talked about obviously the capital deal came into play

458
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are trying to sign you.

459
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: Can you talk about like you said you were eating

460
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: dinner and someone called you. Yeah, so I was eating dinner,

461
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: well Thanksgiving dinner. It was like three years ago. This

462
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: is years ago. Yeah, I had dropped. This is when

463
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: I had dropped a many of your time, and Top

464
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: caused me and he didn't He said, all I'm gonna

465
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: hit you, but I didn't think he was gonna hit

466
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: me on Thanksgiving. So I'm like, who is this? He's like,

467
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: this is Top. I'm like what, Like, you know what

468
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying? It was Top. So that that kind of

469
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: like solidified what I was really really doing at that time.

470
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: Where you already did you already make the decision to uh?

471
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: I was already signed the Capital at the time, but

472
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: I had already fulfilled my deal. But I still need

473
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: to give him another project because I wanted to put

474
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: the project out. So long story short, took the meeting

475
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: with Top. He was fucking with what I was doing,

476
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: but then I still had to fulfill the rest of

477
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: my duties. To Capital, and I you know, I love

478
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: top Dog, Like I think that's one of those labels

479
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: that represent artistic in tech, what you're doing real Like, yeah,

480
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: them Dreamville. I don't know what they're finna do with

481
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: pg lang, but that might be a pocket. But yeah,

482
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: I really love what the guys over there that top

483
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: Dog is doing. And like, like I said, I ended

484
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: up staying at Capitol, you know, for filling the rest

485
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: of my deal. But yeah, I would love to work

486
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: with top of like he understands what I'm trying to say.

487
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: So the video you shot that went viral, It's there's

488
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: been a lot of videos that have been similar to

489
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: that video since it came out. Yeah. Yeah, I remember

490
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: specifically when the Baby put out his video. What song

491
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: was it? The Baby? He did it for the Rock

492
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: the Rockstar remix ye ye, yep, when he did a

493
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter remix Yeah, and very similar almost to

494
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: the t Yeah. How did you feel when you saw that?

495
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: I think now because I think the Baby was like

496
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: the last person that's done it right. Well yeah, because

497
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: there was some other artists similar. Yeah, but uh, long

498
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: story short, the Baby did and I kind of felt like, yo,

499
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: I'm here to inspire. I can't be mad. And I

500
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: inspired somebody, you know. And I may not even have

501
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: inspired the baby. I may have inspired his director or

502
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: his team. Yeah, we were talking about that. I was like,

503
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the baby like saw that and was like,

504
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: let's do that. It might have been a subconscious effort

505
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: on his director whoever his videographer was, because it was

506
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: it was like damn yeah. But then again, I put

507
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: out that video back in twenty seventeen. Who's to say

508
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: that his director had that in his subconscious and didn't

509
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: even remember like how to exactly. Yeah, you know, so

510
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: like like I said, like he was telling the story.

511
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: And if if your director is getting inspired to tell

512
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: a story something similar to what I did, you know,

513
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: push pushing the same message. I was gonna say, like,

514
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: did you any sort of communication with him or his

515
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: camp at all about it? Now? I had tweeted. I

516
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, this looks very familiar, and I was it.

517
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: That tweet kind of went up, got a bunch of

518
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: like replies and retweets and shit like that. So that

519
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,479
Speaker 1: was it. But I didn't I didn't reach out to nobody.

520
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: It ain't It's not my business, you know, what I'm saying.

521
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: I got I got my bag, I got my deal

522
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: off that video. So it's like, if you want to

523
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: eat too, go ahead. You know, I'm still eating off

524
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: that song. So it's like, yeah, when you when your

525
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: videos are so like conceptually, so dope, like is it?

526
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: It's like, is it hard to like out like like

527
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: when you shoot videos like that that are so conceptually

528
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: at a high level, Like can it be frustrating to

529
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: just shoot a regular video or just like everything, Like

530
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: I feel like you like you gotta I don't know,

531
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: I'll do yourself, but like that shit, you know you

532
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: got some crazy visuals. Bro. I think I write. I

533
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: write songs visually, so I see the video first video

534
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: as I'm writing while you're writing. Literally, like when I

535
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: just was doing a freestyle, I have my eyes closed.

536
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: I literally literally visually see what I'm saying. So a

537
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: lot of times it's not hard to come up with

538
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: these conceptual videos. It's hard to execute them sometimes because

539
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: sometimes the idea is so grand and now, being independent,

540
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: you ain't got capital that spend fifty thousand on the video,

541
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, like you got to come out of pocket.

542
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, I literally visually write every song, every video.

543
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if a lot of people know, but like,

544
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: like I directed and wrote those treatments for all of it.

545
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: But he said, you shot that video you yourself? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, literally,

546
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: that shit's crazy on a on a camp, I just

547
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: put the camera on the floor. That was kool aid

548
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: and corn starch, the blood. Yeah, but I spent seven

549
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: dollars on that video and that video changed my life.

550
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: That's fucking crazy. Artists out there, don't make no fucking

551
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: excuses about what you should be doing, because you can

552
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: make this shit happen. They're cheap. I want I wanted

553
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: to ask you. Obviously we're at the end of the year,

554
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: what's your who's your like, what's your favorite album of

555
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: the year. We're just talking about the Grammy nominations, but

556
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: what's your personal top album in twenty twenty? Top album

557
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty is definitely No Love Lost by Blast That's fair.

558
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: That is that an EP? That's I don't know what

559
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: that is, but it's EP. But no, we were just

560
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: talking about Blasting there. Yeah yeah, yeah, so about that.

561
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, the way he shopped the videos,

562
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: yeah crazy. So the Homie City James directed that and

563
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: he's five. You go tapping with City James and look

564
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: at his videos. My god, he's really like he's vague.

565
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: Yeah man, yeah, so yeah, so yeah, all right. So

566
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: if we want to say blast album is not an album,

567
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: so it's called that an EP EP. He's got the

568
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: Deluxe coming out, which will kind of fill it out

569
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: to be down because I'm drawing a blank here. Let

570
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: me see who while you're While you're looking that up,

571
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: let's go through the best hip hop album nominees and

572
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: who you think will win. We got Alfredo from Freddy

573
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: Gibbs and Alchemist. We got Royce's album d Smoke, Black Habits,

574
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: NAS's King Disease, and Jay Electronica. I think either Freddy

575
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: or NAS is gonna win. They might give it Knas

576
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: might be the clear winner. You know what's funny is

577
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: I said the same thing. I'm like, Freddy should win,

578
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: but they might just give it to NABS because Nas

579
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 1: never had a Grammy out of respect for the culture.

580
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: So I would say one of the biggest albums and

581
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: hip we say that hip hop no, no, your favorite,

582
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: like album of the year, I would say, because I

583
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: don't really be listening, I was like that but if

584
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm say albums that I listen to, I would say

585
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: Pop Smoke, that sh At the Stars. That was a

586
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: great That's a great album for me. It's a great

587
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: album that I listened to because I've been listening to

588
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: like a lot of EPs and like that, like you

589
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: do you funk with ke Bell? You know of course

590
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: his little I think it was after Hours. Yeah, he's dope,

591
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: He's dope. That was great. He's going to put a

592
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: shirt on them that that guy never put a shirt

593
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: on my guy. But uh yeah, so yeah, I think

594
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: those those projects really are something that I listened to

595
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: a lot, like on repeat, especially like I was saying,

596
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: like that Blast project, I'm glad you said his name

597
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: because I didn't know if it was Ion or because

598
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: because it's with the X is in his name, So

599
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad now I know how to say

600
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: his name. I don't know if he's trying to do

601
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: like you know, how a Blast got like the X

602
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: in his Maybe that's why he's doing it, Like that

603
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: X kind of looks like a K. I don't know.

604
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,680

643
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: a great job with him, man, I thought that, you know,

644
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: it's hard to pull off an album when someone's not

645
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: here anymore, especially you're kind of knowing that probably a

646
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: lot of those songs weren't finished. They did a masterful job. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,

647
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: I wondered. I was wondering how they pulled off certain things,

648
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: and I don't know how much, how much fifty. He

649
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: had his hands in it, but that was it was

650
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: It was dope because he had a couple of great

651
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: records on there. Oh yeah, solid body of your work. Yeah,

652
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: shout out to pop Smoke. So we don't have any

653
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: sort of So you're you're thinking about dropping uh well,

654
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: you're putting records in site for your album? Yeah, thinking

655
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: about dropping a follow up EP? Yeah next year, early

656
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, I'm not gonna do it this year

657
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: if I'm not, if I'm me, shit, we got three

658
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: weeks left. Yeah right, so yeah, so yeah, either most

659
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: likely early next year January February probably another EP and

660
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: then begin working towards the album. But my manager was

661
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: telling them, like, bro, just keep dropping EPs, just keep

662
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: dropping a little small by sized bodies of work until

663
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: people are begging for an album and then just doing

664
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: ye man, run up that catalog. Yeah bro, that's what Yeah, Bro,

665
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: that's just you know, getting you know, my first independent

666
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: Spotify check. I'm like, I'm gonna run up this catalog.

667
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 1: Just keep going because yeah, because now now you got

668
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: the you got the listeners, you got the monthly listeners

669
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: that are tapped in, they'll get that release radar, you know, Yeah,

670
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy that we're talking out loud about this,

671
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Like it's like something you got to think about, Like, Okay,

672
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: I got people on Spotify listening, so I gotta keep

673
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: on feeding them. Yeah, so it hits their algorithm and

674
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: their algorithmic playlist, their daily mixes and all that shit. Yeah. Man,

675
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: but it's just the world we're in, man. That's yeah,

676
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. And that's I realized, like you can't,

677
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: especially as an independent artists. You can't wait too long.

678
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: You cannot wait too long. Too long, but you also

679
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: can't overdo it, you know. So I'm like, okay, cool,

680
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't know who said it, Like you should kind

681
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: of try to be on a three to four month

682
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: when you independent, if you're doing EPs, three to four

683
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: month radius to where it's like drop something with a

684
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: couple of months, d drop something, because if you keep

685
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: smacking people over the head every thirty days, they're gonna

686
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 1: start listening. That's too much unless you're doing singles, yeah,

687
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: but before projects definitely. I don't know if I'm like

688
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: a single artist at this point, just like like I

689
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: like bodies of work towards like, oh I see what

690
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: he trying to do not for sure, Yeah, yeah, I

691
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: mean I get it and doing the EP thing smart, Yeah,

692
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: I like, I actually like it that way. I feel

693
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: like giving people's bite sized amounts of content, it's it's

694
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: the way to go. I don't I get I see

695
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: an album with nineteen songs on it get scared, like

696
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: that's too much. Yeah, man, it's too much for me.

697
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: It's a lot. There's no bros. There's like three people

698
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: in the game that I will listen to their whole album. Well,

699
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, especially if it's nineteen songs. Yeah, I think

700
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: Dot can drop a he could drop a forty song

701
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: album and I'm in whatever Kendrick wants to just whatever, Like, yeah,

702
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: I think that and Cold do you think of Drake

703
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: Dropp a forty song album? You listen to all of it?

704
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: I didn't listen to all the Scorpion answer your question. So,

705
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I might have listened to all

706
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: of it, but it was like in pieces because it

707
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: was like a technically a double double album double was

708
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: half all. I like the R and B side to

709
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: be honest a lot on the Scorpion, but now like Drake,

710
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: it took me a while, Like if Kendrick drops a

711
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: forty song album, I'm gonna smoke some weeds, sit in

712
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: my man cave fucking and just zone out for two hours.

713
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: Two hours, yeah, and just be like, Yo, there's no

714
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: way Kendrick's gonna drop a forty song album and it

715
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: not be a masterpiece. Drake drop a forty song album,

716
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: You're like, well, you know that Chris Brown did? That?

00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: songs I need to hear will make their way to me. Yeah, Bro,

723
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I was just talking

724
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: about that. That Chris Brown record is one of my

725
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: favorite records right now though him a young thug. Oh yeah,

726
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: I listened to that record every day. Again, that's a

727
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: radio record I don't typically Yeah, crazy, great beautiful song.

728
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, bro, So shout to Chris Brown, man, Yeah. Many.

729
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something is Chris Brown? Is he

730
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: the most talented artist we've ever seen? I think he

731
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: would be I think unfortunately that incident with him Rihanna. No, No,

732
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about is he

733
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: the most talented artist. I'm saying yes. I feel like

734
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: he would be god level had he not done some

735
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: stuff in his adolescence. I think he's god level. You

736
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: think he is. I don't think he gets to shine

737
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: and he deserves. But I'm not talking about the shine

738
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: or the record. I'm talking about talent. Yeah, god level. Yeah.

739
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: I've been extremely critical of Chris Brown and his personal

740
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: decisions outside of the Rihanna thing. Yeah, but Jesus Christ's

741
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: he's out of this world. I'm like, how do you

742
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: still are you making fifty song projects? Bro? He's an

743
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: alien man and he can dance. He can paint a

744
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: mural on a Ferrari Yeah, he can sing a jump

745
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: shot yeah, solid on the Celebrity Basketball game. Yeah he was.

746
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: He was really mixing people. He could act. Yeah. Yeah.

747
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: I think about like I said, I hope we give

748
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: that man his roses, bro, because he's really a great

749
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: yeah man, And I'm being very critical, but I'm like, yo, like,

750
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's been another more talented human

751
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: being that we've seen in the public eye besides Chris Brown.

752
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: Now you might argue that there's people who's made better music,

753
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: but just pure talent. Chris Brown has got people. Chris

754
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: Brown makes phenomenal music. Who's really making better music than

755
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: Christ Down? I mean, you know, I think if I

756
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: mean not anymore, I was gonna say Kanye, but not anymore,

757
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: But Jesus Jesus King is it could turn. I don't

758
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: know all this fucking that non No song Kanye Drop

759
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: is the worst fucking Kanye song he's ever released besides

760
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: the The Scoop shit. But that was he was trolling

761
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: and that beat was fire on the poop the Scoop shit.

762
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: That beat was crazy what I wanted to I really

763
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: would have loved to have heard what Drake did on

764
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: that because that was Drake's beat. Yeah, that's what Drake

765
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: was saying, like Kanye gave it to him, did that

766
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: shit on top of it. But yeah, I just hope

767
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: Kanye pulls his head out the ground and just starts

768
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: getting back. I don't know, man, I don't know how

769
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,959
Speaker 1: if he can be as a greade of an artist

770
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: as we would want him to be while he's like

771
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: a hardcore Christian. I think I know one of the

772
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: producers that's over there, Damn Joints, and he's like, really

773
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: out of this Them Joints produced the Not on Us. Yeah,

774
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: great beat, Yeah bro. So I know that because I've

775
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: written records with him and he's produced a couple records

776
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: for me. He's artistic integrity. So I'm pretty sure if

777
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: he's rubbing shoulders with Kanye, I'm pretty sure in the

778
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: next project. I have faith in this next body of while.

779
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: So I just feel like people are just like, I'm

780
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: just happy to be in the room with Kanye. Let

781
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: him do whatever bullshit he wants to do, and we're

782
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: just here for it because he's yay and we grew

783
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: up loving him. And yeah, he's my favorite artist ever. Yeah,

784
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: like number one. I mean he's not my favorite MC ever,

785
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: But like artists wise, I don't feel like anyone's ever

786
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: made better music and hip hop than Kanye West. Yeah. Artistry, yeah,

787
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think nobody. Yeah, I think if

788
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: I think, if Kendrick gives us something completely different on

789
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: his next project, this is what I always say to people, right,

790
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: So everyone puts Biggie in there, and I put Biggie

791
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: in my top ten. Bigg's one of my favorite rappers ever.

792
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: But Biggie is consistently putting people's top five, top three,

793
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: top two, whatever off of two albums two Right two classics,

794
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,479
Speaker 1: Life After Death, Ready to Die, incredible bodies of work,

795
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: undisputable classic albums. But Kendrick he's dropped. I mean, I

796
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: can can consider section eighty at classic. But if we

797
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: with discard section eighty because some people it wasn't a mixtape.

798
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: You couldn't download it for free, you had to buy

799
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: it on iTunes. But if you just take his three

800
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: albums that came out through Interscope untitled A side, like,

801
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: you gotta put Kendrick, He's like four or five all

802
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: time in my book, man, Like, I don't see how

803
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: you could, like, like when you drop music that's on

804
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: that level three times in a row, four times in

805
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: a row to me, you know, because I think section

806
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: eighty's amazing, Like, bro, what are we talking about? I

807
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: think it's just because he's young and he's here right now.

808
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: That's what it is. That's what it is. And Michael's thinking, oh,

809
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's recency bias. Like no, Kendrick is fucking that dude, Bro,

810
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to smoke with Kadot Who would? Who would?

811
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: Who would do that? This man has been throwing subliminal

812
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: shots at Drake and Bro. Who wants smoke with Kendrick?

813
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: Nobody will say his name because they will get destroyed.

814
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: Like the Control Verse was such a moment man shout

815
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: out to Kendrick man top five all time top Yeah.

816
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: I think I think people want to deny that because,

817
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: like I said, because he's here and a lot of

818
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: times people, you know, you pass away and you just

819
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: become this super idol. Lord forbid. If Kendrick passed away,

820
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: everyone would be like, Yo, he's top three all time,

821
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, and it's whacked that that's the type of

822
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: shit that has to happen. Yeah, I think Kendrick is

823
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: on another level because and I think that's the difference

824
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: between Cole and Kendrick is Kendrick knows how to make

825
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: hit records and keep him conscious. Like dam was all

826
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: hit records, Bro, and they're all conscious records. You can't

827
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: really me being a conscious artist. I know the difficulty

828
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: of having some shit that not, but it's like I'm

829
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: really telling you something, you know that's that's really difficult,

830
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: you know. So I think if if we want to

831
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: have that conversation, the top five, come on, Man, I

832
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: don't know who, Like, I don't know who. You can

833
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: find four other like who? Yeah, I feel like there's like,

834
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, probably a six or seven rapper arrange that

835
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: you could kind of rearrange into, like who's the top five? Ever?

836
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: But like, I feel like Kendrick's in that conversation. It's close.

837
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question because I'll always

838
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: ask people this question and nobody can ever answer it.

839
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: Or let's just say Kendrick, Cole and Drake are at

840
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: the top of the game. Who's in that space to

841
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: even be close to it? That's not bound level. It's

842
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 1: like a long three mile gap in between that. Who

843
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: is even a mout up in that gap? You know?

844
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: What's interesting is I don't think we put Kanye in

845
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: that conversation because I don't think people think I think

846
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: Kanye has to be the fourth guy there, just consistency

847
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: over the last twelve, fifteen years whatever. But I also

848
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: don't think Kanye like lyrically is on that level. But yeah,

849
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, the first name that comes to

850
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: mind and I would be like a Big Sean maybe

851
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: or like yeah, but but it's afar, it's far. If

852
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: Kendrick Cole and Drake are tense, what would Big Sean

853
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: be a six? No disrespect right right? Right, Well, that's

854
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like you seven, eight and nine that

855
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: you know it's it would have to yeah, Like I'm

856
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: just trying to think. So I'm thinking Big Sean is

857
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: kind of that next tier and then like, yeah, I

858
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: don't know, man, who else is not just just overall greatness.

859
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: That's that's right now, that's relevant right now. Of course

860
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: you can throw Dre I mean not Dre Jay in there,

861
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: jay Z in there, but he's already he's already past

862
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: the generation. Yeah, I'm thinking right now, And and I

863
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: think you would have you would have to put Kanye

864
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: in that top tier. But like, I don't think relevance

865
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: as an artist at the moment is not what we're

866
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: looking at ya for at the moment. I think we're

867
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: looking at him for things he's done already. Yeah, So

868
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: I would just say that those are the three and

869
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where you know, if we're talking like impact,

870
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: commercial success, artistic integrity, Like yeah, those those are the

871
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: three and and and and anything below that is very

872
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: far away, very very very very It's a gigantic gap. Yeah,

873
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean there's independent artists that are super like I think,

874
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 1: you know, I think Freddy Gibbs has had a great

875
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: run recently, you know, I think you can look at Yeah,

876
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: but like we're talking Cole Kendrick Drake for ten years.

877
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: I mean, Good Community was twenty twelve. Yeah, Born Center

878
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: was twenty twelve, I think, yeah, it was, it was.

879
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: It was twenty thirteen. It came out the same day

880
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: as Jesus. Yeah, and Take Take Care was what twenty eleven,

881
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: twenty twelve? Yeah, yeah, you're right, those are the three.

882
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't know who else you would say, Man, there's

883
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: people who've had their pockets and their runs, but like

884
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: not a decade, bro a decade of consistently being the

885
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: fucking guys turning on the radio. And it's like, especially Drake,

886
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: what Drake doesn't play fair, don't I just like, dude,

887
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: he's so like Drake's no one's ever been able to

888
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: make songs that are like like he's the biggest hip

889
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: maker ever. Like it's just not fair, Like Drake can

890
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: literally do anything, and it's just it's it's number one,

891
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: or it's it's it's like, it's just really not fair.

892
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: I think that we've never seen anything like that ever

893
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: in hip hop. Like what Drake's doing, we've never seen.

894
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: You could say, well, Wayne had a couple of year

895
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: run where he was like no, no, no, no, no, no,

896
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: what Drake's doing, nobody's ever done. You know. It's crazy, though,

897
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: If I tell you name your top five rappers, people

898
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: don't even put Drake in the I'm not a big

899
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: Drake though, because why don't we respect that? Man? My

900
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: manager told me he was like those references man kind

901
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: of killed it for me. Man. When I heard the

902
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: Running through the sixth, I was like, oh, oh, people,

903
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get in that discussion. But no, no no,

904
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: But and the thing is is for me, that's why

905
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: he can't be in in that discussion. But he could

906
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: be in the biggest artist of all time discussion. He

907
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: could be in the biggest hip Like I don't put

908
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: Kanye in the greatest MC discussion. Yeah, but it's one

909
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: of the biggest artists. But but yeah, because I know

910
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: that Kanye openly has people write him for him. Yeah,

911
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, like Ryan Fest wrote Jesus Walks. I didn't

912
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, Ryan Fest wrote that song. Wow. So

913
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: you know that doesn't take away from Drake. Like I

914
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: told you, Kanye is my favorite artist, but I can't

915
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: put him in that conversation, just like I can't put

916
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: Drake in that conversation. But Drake don't play fair man.

917
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: You think Drake got somebody writing his bars? I don't know.

918
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: I think I mean, you go listen to that he

919
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: rapped rewrapped all them Quentin Miller bars. Those were verses.

920
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: But that's not even our favorite Drake project. But do

921
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: you think he got another secret person? You know a

922
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: lot of people like that if you're reading this tool, Yeah,

923
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: people really like that project. Yeah, because that was like him,

924
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: that was like his rapping ass rapping project. And the

925
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: fact that that was his rapping ass rapping project and

926
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: there was what two references I believe there's just not

927
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: that least three three. Yeah, So that's why I'm like,

928
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: I don't care, because he makes enjoyable music and he

929
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: also delivers them because if you listen to the Quentin

930
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: Miller versions of those songs, they sound as and then

931
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: Drake gets on him and you're like, oh shit, yeah, Drake,

932
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: don't play fair, man, it's unfair. No one's ever done

933
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: what he's he's doing. I'm not sure anyone will ever

934
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: do what he's doing. Yeah, it's like Drake the Weekend,

935
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: Bruno Mars. Yeah, like like when we're just talking about

936
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: commercial success, who the fuck is touching Drake? Bro, he

937
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: could do another ten years like with his eyes closed. Yeah, Bro,

938
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: it's it's it's ridiculous. He could do yeah, bro. And

939
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm a critical Drake fan, like I'm I think that

940
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things he hasn't done that I

941
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: would like to see him do. I would like to

942
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: see him make a concept project. All right, So look,

943
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: this is what I'm about to say. Earlier, So I

944
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: was on a you tapped it on Clubhouse man. I

945
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: was on there, Man, I got it, bro, but I

946
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: just like, I don't got time for that. Yeah that shit,

947
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: take your time, but it's good, like if you're driving

948
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: or some shit. But like, so, long story short, I

949
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: was having a conversation and they were saying that Drake

950
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: isn't one of the best lyricists ever, right, And I

951
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: was saying, if we like to be wold By like

952
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: super duper triple on tandras and all the other stuff. Right,

953
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: But if you can say something so simple that a

954
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: baby can understand it, a teenager can understand it, and

955
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: a grandmother can understand it, does that make not make

956
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: you one of the best lyricists because it's so easily

957
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: easy to digest. Sometimes Kendrick will say some shit that

958
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,720
Speaker 1: if you're not a rap head, you have no idea

959
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: what he's talking about. Same thing with Cole. But if

960
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: Draken simplifies so much to what every single person can

961
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: understand it, but it's still the dopest line ever, does

962
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: that not make him one of the greatest lyricists ever?

963
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: I think if he's writing those bars, if he's writing them,

964
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think Drake is an elite MC yeah, yeah,

965
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: I just don't know what is he writing? What is

966
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: he not? I don't know. So the question that I

967
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: don't know would you be heard? Would you be would

968
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: you hear lets you say some something came out like

969
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: cold wasn't rightdow Ship? Would you be hurt? Of course?

970
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: Of course I'd be like, what like if someone told

971
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: me Kendrick didn't write his ship or there was I would.

972
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: I would be heartbroken, That's what That's what Head had

973
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: asked me, Like, Yo, what if you found out Pockin

974
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: Biggie had ghostwriters? How would you feel about yourself? I'm like, Dad,

975
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do. I mean, I

976
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: think that there's a lot of our our I think

977
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: that there's some substantial situational evidence that Wayne has had

978
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: some help with some of his bars. I think when

979
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: this is my own bias, but I think when Drake

980
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: first came out, I think Drake was helping Wayne with

981
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: some bars, because there was very similar when Drake had

982
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: ly the Kid. Yeah, we know that, but that wasn't

983
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: long cool man. We know that though, because you remember

984
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: there was such a jump. Yeah, because like Wayne was

985
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: like block is hot five hundred degrees and then all

986
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: of a sudden just he was rapping, rapping, and he

987
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: was always solid, Like I always thought he was the

988
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: best dude in the Hot Boys as far as like

989
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: who I like to hear rap? But you know, obviously

990
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: Droven Out probably made the best music in that era.

991
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: But there was a big jump man his pen game.

992
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: He took a fucking leap on Carter one and those

993
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: squad of mixtapes and all that shit. So yeah, I

994
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: don't know. I also know people who have been in

995
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: the studio with Wayne and they're like, he's an alien.

996
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 1: He goes in and it's all off the top of

997
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: his head and it's you know, I'm not I'm a

998
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: little Wayne fan, but I'm very you know critical. Well,

999
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: you know people people really put Wayne in Like, if

1000
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: you put Wayne in your top five, I just can't

1001
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: take you serious. Really, I just can't do it, man,

1002
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: my god, I can't do with god. I don't know

1003
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: if Wayne would be top five, but if he definitely

1004
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: in the top seven, come on now, I can't do it.

1005
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: Wayne also had like an eight year run. Well he

1006
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: didn't have a year run. What was it like two thousand?

1007
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: Think about so really think about think about his run. Right, So,

1008
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: I believe Carter one was five. I was still in

1009
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: high school. I was gonna best buy when Carter one

1010
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,479
Speaker 1: came out four oh five. I think it was oh five.

1011
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: I know Carter two was seven or eight, right, and

1012
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: then No. Eight was Carter three. So Carter three came

1013
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: out in eight. I know that for sure. Okay, because

1014
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: that was the first year I ever got arrested. Four

1015
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: was Carter one? Yeah, so that was my junior year

1016
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: in high school? Man, when was Carter two? Was that

1017
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: six o seven five? Wow? Okay my freshman year? Well

1018
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: so think about this, right, Carter one and Carter two.

1019
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: Carter two is my favorite Wayne album. But Carter one

1020
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: and Carter two, Wayne wasn't the biggest fucking guy, Like

1021
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: he wasn't like the guy yet those were albums where

1022
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: people are like, oh shit. Then Carter two came out.

1023
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: He started calling himself the best rapper alive. Right, He

1024
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: had a song on there called exactly And even then,

1025
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: like if you think about Carter two, like what was

1026
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: the hit record, like the undeniable hit record, It wasn't

1027
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: go DJ, wasn't like a super smash and was that

1028
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: was go DJ? Carter one? Yeah, Carter one, So go

1029
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: DJ was Carter one. That record was dope and it

1030
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: got radio play. But like his commercial foot like I

1031
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: think after Carter two he started that feature run in

1032
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: that Drought, the Drought series and all that shit, dedication,

1033
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: dedication shit, and then Carter three was like the cherry

1034
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: on top bro and during that whole run he was

1035
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 1: just on everybody. Shit. So I would argue to say

1036
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: that Wayne's run as the guy probably started in like

1037
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: seven Carter three dropped, that was the peak, and then

1038
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: by like twenty ten it was Drake's world. Yeah, so

1039
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: you say he had a three year run as the guy,

1040
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: bro as the guy, I don't know. Maybe because I'm

1041
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: a rapper, rapper bro. When he was putting out the

1042
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: Dedication one and that's what two thousand and six, like,

1043
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: come on, now you know what's crazy? I was like,

1044
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: that was a run all my favorite all my favorite

1045
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: Wayne shit is shit isn't even on, like it's all

1046
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: it's on that pif Yeah, bro that yeah Wayne. But

1047
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: I just don't like, no, no, no no, like if you're

1048
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: counting like Carter one all the way. So I just

1049
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: think that after Carter three he dropped No Ceilings, which

1050
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 1: to me was the last great lyrical little Wayne. Yeah,

1051
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: because I wasn't a fan of Carter four. It had

Speaker 1: world and it just wasn't like the level of like

1060
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: when even the tapes he dropped after that were just

1061
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: kind of whatever. It was like like no ceilings three

1062
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,279

1064
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: but all right, let's just say this. So then the

1065
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: Trump endorsement, you got to knock it out the top ten.

1066
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: But you know why he did it. He did it

1067
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: to get the parted and for these federal charges you got.

1068
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: You gotta know that that's coming. Because he's got those

1069
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: gun charges that they just brought up on him. He

1070
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: might go to prison. I didn't know that. When I

1071
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: saw that, I was like, oh, the Trump thing makes sense.

1072
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: Trump's gonna part of Little Wayne. I put a thousand dollars.

1073
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: Trump has to part in Lil Wayne. There's no way

1074
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: Little Wayne took a picture with his ass. We're in

1075
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: that goofy ass sweater and Trump don't give him a

1076
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: fucking party. How many parties do the president get as

1079
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: and I'm not mad at him. If he gets the part,

1080
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: if he gets to parton, it's all good. I get it. Bro,

1123
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: There's a there's a some others that probably shouldn't have

00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: of this year. Then I like Little Baby Baby. I

1132
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: don't album better than crazy about Little Baby is. If

00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: listen to his album and it's like this ship is fire, bro,

1136
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: Now I'm a huge fan of I didn't know bro

00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: it was that young. He's like twenty five years old.

1138
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: I think he's younger than that. Twenty five. Yeah they did.

1139
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: They just did the thirty on the thirties twenty five.

1140
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: I think he's twenty five. Yeah, they just did the

1141
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: Forest thirty on the thirty. No, listen, I think Wayne

1142
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,959
Speaker 1: is dope. I just twenty six. He's twenty six. Wow.

1143
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: I thought he was younger than that. I thought he

1144
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: was like twenty two or something. Oh oh, today's birthday,

1145
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, a little baby yo. So yeah, man, Wayne

1146
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: is fire. But I just think we put so much.

1147
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: He influences different influence. There's I mean, okay, where do

1148
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: you put Tupac in your top as far as influence,

1149
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: He's like number one or two one Yeah, because I'm

1150
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 1: from the West. No, No No, but like overall, Tupac influenced everybody.

1151
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: Everybody like Tupac is. Probably he's the most influential rapper

1152
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: I think. Ever, Yeah, it's like him. Yay ho Wayne.

1153
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 1: I feel like where hip hop is and low key

1154
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: future where hip hop is. If you got to give

1155
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: Drake a lot of credit as far as influence like see,

1156
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: I think nobody was singing Drake was influenced by Ita

1157
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: Wates and Heartbreaks, but he was, he was, He didn't

1158
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: say will Yeah, yeah he did. But as far as

1159
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: making a whole career out of rapping and singing, no

1160
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: rappers like hip hop is now typically art. It's like

1161
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: basically it'sodic in R and B. Sure Drake's up there too,

1162
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: nobody was really doing that. That's how Fitty end of

1163
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: Jar rules career. Like Bro, you singing on records, that's

1164
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: what we're doing. Yeah, I think it's Pac. I think

1165
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: Wayne is up there and influence Wayne lyrics, poc storytelling.

1166
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 1: I want to visualize your lyrics pop well, I don't

1167
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: feel like Pac was gonna give you like crazy crazy bar.

1168
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: He's just gonna make you feel it emotionally. I think Tupac.

1169
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: I would listen to Tupac ten times out of ten

1170
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: over Lil Wayne. Now, do I think Lil Wayne is

1171
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: probably technically a better lyricist like talking about data, Yeah, probably,

1172
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: But Tupac, like you said earlier about Drake, Chupac can

1173
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: say some shit so simple and it just like hits you. Yeah,

1174
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: And that's a fucking talent in itself. It's the emotion

1175
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: in Tupac's voice that that made sense. Yeah what Yeah,

1176
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: but I well, we ain't told about we said Tupac

1177

Speaker 1: and Wayne. But hold on, I gotta send We got

1186
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: and he's twenty three, and with a straight face, he

1187
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: told me no one's had a better ten years in

1188
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: hip hop history than Lil Wayne from ninety eight to eight.

1189
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,560

1191
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,400

1194
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: two or three year running fifty. Yeah, fifty was the

1195
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: biggest motherfucker on the planet. It's fifty. I think the

1196
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: two biggest rappers ever at their peak was Snoop and

1197
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: fifty Like Doggie style Snoop. He's on the cover of

1216
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,720

1217
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,640

00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: and this might be crazy. Bro. I feel like as

1226
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: big as The Box was, if we were in the

1227
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: selling record time, I feel like it would have did

1228
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: those type of numbers. Bro. Definitely, the Box was one

1229
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: of the craziest records I've heard. I agree wholeheartedly. Literally,

1230
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: my car, Bro, I call that ship right away. When

1231
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: I was I was in Hawaii listening to the album

1232
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: and they were like, yoyo, we should be playing uh.

1233
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: I forget which record that they wanted to play at

1234
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: the station because it had a feature on it had

1235
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: uh you talking about the one with h the dude

1236
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,680

1237
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: There was a record on there and they were like,

1238
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: no, no no, we're gonna go. This one's got the big

1239
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: feature until the label picks it. I'm like, bro, the

1240
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: boxes the box like track two, yeah, track two right,

1241
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I heard that. I was like, oh

1242
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: my god. I showed it to everybody. I think Roddy

1243
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Rich and Post Malone have the best melodies in the

1244
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: history of music. I hate to say that because people

1245
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: are gonna hate kill me in the comments, but bro,

1246
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: the way Roddy Rich can skate in a verse melodically,

1247
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the pockets he hits on his melodies, it's fucking crazy,

1248
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: at least in the in the last like ten years.

1249
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about the history of There's Michael Jackson,

1250
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: there's Quincy Jones, here was fucking you know, Lionel Ritchie

1251
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: and shit. But god, did Drake hits some crazy pockets? No, no, Drake.

1252
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: But I just think Drake and Post like they're like,

1253
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: melody game is so unfair. I'd be like, it's impossible

1254
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: for Roddy Rich to not make a song that is

1255
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: easy to listen to. Yeah, Like, I've never heard of

1256
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Roddy record that. I'm like, man, turn that shit off. Yeah,

1257
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: it's like all his record like post Malone's the same way. Like,

1258
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: even if you're not a post Malone fan, all his music,

1259
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: you got to get ros here. Oh my god, bro,

1260
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: it's crazy. He's one of those artists that literally just

1261
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: makes his after hits, that's all he does. And then

1262
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Roddy's gonna be the same way. Yeah. I'm excited to

1263
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: see what Roddy does next because I got a feeling
