The funny part about 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: it is, let me tell this, it's really when they 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: select a nigga every single time where it's like, yo, 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: we all attacking him. You know what I mean. It's 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: an internet And by the way, just one of those weeks, 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: Like it's not my first time, so I'm handling a 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: little bit better so I know, like you know, after 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: this tough week gets a little bit better. But you know, 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: I ain't choosing. I've always by the way, here's the thing. 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: I always every opinion I'm giving where every opinion that's 16 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: pissing everybody off. It's not like I'm just shooting out 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: hot takes. If I'm just shooting out hot takes or 18 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: shit to like be like shocking, I'd be like damn, 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: and I'm tweaking. But a lot of these things are 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: like you know again, um and I don't know if 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: you want to just jump into like go. Essentially, people 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: are taking a thirty or forty or sixty second clip 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: out of me streaming for five hours, and I'm talking 24 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: about all type of things. I'm breaking things down. I'm 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: having full in depth conversation, fullward context. And obviously, if 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: you gotta be you guys do radio. I mean I 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: think so, I think. But even like when when you 28 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: have to talk to a crowd or talk to any 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: audience line for four or five hours and you got 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: to be arenttaining. You got some jokes in there, you 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: got some tongue in cheek comments, and those are the ship. 32 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: They're only folks, and nobody wants to talk about nothing 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: actually solid like yo, he said, he said, he said 34 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: all the ogs are broken, Dusty, I say that. And 35 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: also that wasn't even context. You did say that. I 36 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: didn't say, oh you are I want to ask you 37 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: about that because you said something. You said you didn't 38 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: choose this, but you did. Because whenever you choose to 39 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: having a pace union on something, you're making a choice 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: to talk about somebody, and you know you might depend 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: not disagree when I said I didn't choose like this 42 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: timing is that if anyone knows aaron a culture, what 43 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: I'm saying is that it they could pick me in 44 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: any week because I'm giving the same takes every week. 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm not. It's not like I'm I'm like toning it 46 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: down like everybody before, yes, opinions. So it's one of 47 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: those things where like it's like cancelation and like people 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: who claim they woke you know what I mean a 49 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: lot of times like they when they want to go 50 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: at you it's new. It's not like they're like, oh oh, 51 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: so for everyone that's seen it for the first time, 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: they like, oh, he's tweaking this week. People call me 53 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: to like, yo, you should tone it down, like nigga, 54 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: this is what I've been saving for the last three years. 55 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: So let's get some structures. I would want to start 56 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: with the DJ academics. That's what I seen it first. 57 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: People was like, is he a DJO? That's the craziest thing. 58 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I thought he answered that before. No. No, 59 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: But but you know what's so funny about that conversation, 60 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: the mere fact we're still talking about you know, even 61 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: that like you know, it's trending. But I think only 62 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: a certain subset of the population still has this very 63 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: rigid what does it mean to be a DJ? Just 64 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: like how you know, even now, people have this rigid 65 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: definition of what it means to be a journalist, you 66 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, thinking about this, there's a 67 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: lot of new media platforms owned by entrepreneurs. They have 68 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: the editorial control over things that you could could see 69 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: his journalism or they journalist. Like, a lot of things 70 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: are being blurred now. Number one. Let's let's even also, 71 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: you're new to a lot of people. Even though you've 72 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: been doing this for like thirteen years, some people might 73 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: have just found out about you this year. Over the 74 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, I gonna lie a lot of 75 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: the guys who, by the way I looked up to 76 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: most of them that responded, and by the way, I 77 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: won't say or ninety five percent of the people who 78 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: responded to me in terms of like OG's they weren't broken, Dusty. 79 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: There was five percent that worth though, ain't gonna lie, 80 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: But the ninety five cent of them, those guys, I'm like, 81 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: these are like success stories. But even then y'all admitted 82 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: the context I was talking about passing on game, I 83 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: was talking about educating the next generation rather than criticizing them. 84 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: And I was like, sometimes you don't understand why they 85 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: might not listen to y'all. One of the reason they 86 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: might not listen to y'all, y'all fucked up, whether they're 87 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: signed a contract, bad contract, or or whatever like pitfalls 88 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: you you kind of get into in this game. You 89 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: never passed it on. You never passed that knowledge. So 90 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: now when now you're not a DJ, academic doesn't DJ 91 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: anymore DJ when you're in college. I still consider myself 92 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: a DJ. I got a DJ, be a DJ. No 93 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: he does DJ every morning I go in that room 94 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: and name and I do my mixes button. So you 95 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: so you still DJ? No? No, Well, I don't DJ 96 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: professionally anymore. I started out DJ and then I got 97 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: into media and then pretty much listen, I'm an entrepreneur 98 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: at first, you know what I mean? So I like 99 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: people be hemmed up over the DJ name. I'm academics regardless. 100 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: So if you want to call me DJA, a big 101 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: act name, and that's what it is. So I'm not 102 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: over here trying to oh drop the DJ from my name. 103 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm still me.

I've always thought I 121 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: had a niche. So when I see everybody in the 122 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: mainstream reaction to the niche, I'm like, oh shit, it's cool. 123 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: But I'm anyway back then.

And you know, I was one of 132 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: those people where I'm also not a dick, right, So 133 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: I used to try to challenge him, like, nah, you 134 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: were wrong here or you know what I mean. And 135 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: we kind of developed a rapport on Twitter, and I 136 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: thought that was cool because I didn't know nobody famous, right, 137 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, damn. I didn't want to seem like I 138 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: was like asking her begging, and I expected to know. 139 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: So one day I just DMed him, I'm like, yo, 140 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm starting to do some interviews.

I think about 151 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: that now when you know, I try to still remain 152 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: humble and and remember that there's somebody else who's trying 153 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: to be me.

It's very important for anybody who's coming 167 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: up in the game. He did that, you know what, 168 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: I mean, in a lot of situations over the years, 169 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: he's always reached out and just show me a lot 170 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: of loving. You know, I hope that I've not only reciprocated, 171 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: but also I look at it for other people coming 172 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: in the game, you know what I mean again, going 173 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: back to some of the things that people are mad 174 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: at me about. Granted, the broken dusty thing is triggering, 175 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's it seems very naturally 176 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: it is very disrespectful, so you immediately disrespectful. I mean, 177 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: if if I call him nigga broken dusty, it like 178 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: it's not there's no way to say, oh, this is great. 179 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: But but I wasn't told about everybody. It was a 180 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: four our conversation basically saying, you feel that a lot 181 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: of these older artists, Yeah, and I'll even take it 182 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: outside of older artists, older DJs should look out for 183 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: the people coming up so they don't do the same 184 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: thing that they did, the pitfalls that they did. You 185 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: gotta pass the ball and also, like you know, when 186 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: we think about it, even our legends of pioneer. Because 187 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: Ella responded, and I want to sleut to Lla. I 188 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: think you know, um, everything he said was right, So 189 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,599 Speaker 1: let me, let me, let me put that out on 190 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: the table. I agree one percent with everything he said. However, 191 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: eighty percent of what he said wasn't focused on what 192 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: I was saying because he got off center. He said, well, 193 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you're equating money to contribution and like like respect and 194 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: all that. That's not what I was saying. That's not 195 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: what I was saying at all. You know what I mean. 196 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: I'm never like questioning the contribution or you know, I'm 197 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: not appreciating the contribution of anyone who came before me, 198 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: and I'm never saying that money is the only thing 199 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: that validates that contribution. I was more so and again 200 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: you know the way I used my platform. I try 201 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: to be very transparent. That's what gets me in trouble too. 202 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm mad transparent, Like I let people know what's really 203 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: going on behind these industry doors as the best that 204 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: I know, the best everything I hear and see, so 205 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: I could educate somebody else. Because I was a super fan. 206 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: I was sitting at home listening to the Breakfast Club 207 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: every fucking morning, wondering is that real? Is this? Like? 208 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: What's the real ship going on? So like, once I 209 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: got fortunate enough to kind of like peek through the 210 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: window and then I saw through the crack of the door, 211 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: like I'm trying to has that knowledge along. I don't 212 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: see that a lot in a hip hop I don't 213 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: think people be passing the knowledge along. I thought you 214 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: asked the valid question, and the valid question is, you know, 215 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: if if you invented hip hop, if you wanted the 216 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: founders of hip hop, why are you not financially well off? 217 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: Now we know all answered that, and he gave some 218 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: great reasons. So the next thing to me is how 219 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: do we make sure that these founding fathers are taking 220 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: care of financially? I agree. I mean, listen, and it's interesting, 221 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: you know. I listened to your response to it, and 222 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: you're you're right. I think anytime I bring up any 223 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: valid points in hip hop, granted, I'm gonna keep saying 224 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: that the if you only go for that clip, you're 225 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: just gonna take um offense to it. And I understand that, 226 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: but usually people just attack me, like people don't want 227 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: to talk about these real, real conversations. Yeah, they don't 228 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: want to talk about Okay, all right, cool, y'all have 229 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: y'all whole week. Everybody responded to me y'all cracked yat 230 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: jokes back, I got it. Cool, I'm taking it. But 231 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: let's further the conversation now, or we do a talk 232 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: about the actual conversation and we're down to talk about, 233 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, helping out some of these guys who are 234 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: some of the founding fathers, you know what I mean, 235 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: Like it shouldn't take the guy you hate or the 236 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: guy who's irrelevant, the guy who didn't know to actually 237 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: bring up the conversation about well, a lot of the pioneers, well, 238 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: some of their business weren't in order, um shoot, financially 239 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: they should be doing what way well off compared to 240 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: like what's actually going on for some I'm not saying 241 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: at all, right, And I don't know if people want 242 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: to have those conversations, do you but do you feel like, 243 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: and I'm sure you do, do you feel like the 244 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: industry never wants to have a conversation. It always wants 245 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: to attack you. Because when Russell Simmons, you know, said 246 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: what he said, right yeah out in Bali, your reply was, 247 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: we could have this conversation, but you have to have 248 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: a conversation with me about the ship that you're doing too. 249 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: That's a stab back.

I'm like, 271 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine, but we should probably advance the conversations. 272 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: We're not good with having conversations, Like I'll give another 273 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: thing that they usually try to jump me on. They're like, yo, 274 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: will you built your brand off exploiting the depth of 275 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: black kids in it like Chicago?

We look on DSPs, those 283 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: songs are at the top of playlists. Are we gonna 284 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: talk about those bigger issues or no, let's put the 285 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: band aid over that. Let's attack act.

And and I understand when 301 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: when you're when you're performing, it's performative, right, Okay, but 302 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: if you was actually talking to LLL, I was staying 303 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: on every point conversation, I would stay on everybody. I 304 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: believe my points wouldn't change. Yeah, you know what I mean, 305 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: even when people saw when I'm um, when I got 306 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: like my first big opportunity I guess in the quot 307 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: unquote industry, like when I got on everybody struggle. Yeah, 308 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: obviously as a different way of like you know, um communicating, 309 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: then my stream. So yeah, the tone changed. But even 310 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: if I was wrong or quote unquote wrong to most 311 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: people about any point, I still stood on it, you 312 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So again, of course I'm on 313 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: the stream, which, by the way, as a broadcast, I've 314 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: been learning that a lot, like you know this recent 315 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: thing about um, you know, even with with with with Toya, 316 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: I did a tone check before because I knew that 317 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: was gonna get lost in it, you know what I mean. 318 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna get lost in it.

So 329 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: at times when you're discussing things, right, if it's clipped, 330 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: and my clips always either look super hilarious or damn, 331 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: he's disrespectful, you know what I mean? Now I have 332 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: spirited the base. I really love hip hop. I love 333 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: this culture, you know what I mean. It's giving me everything, 334 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: it's allowing me to time my mom. I love it. 335 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: But I'm passionate, and that's why I'm trying to learn 336 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: as a broadcaster. But even then it's hard to control. 337 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: Where I could just immediately know that, oh, they're gonna 338 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: clip this part. Get your tone in check. You do 339 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: understand why toy is mad though of course even all right, 340 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: I didn't hear a clip because it was it was 341 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: so and what reference did you call her daughter a bitch? 342 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: If you ever called a bit? Okay, so I didn't 343 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: necessarily refer to her as a bitch. I was speaking about, right, um, 344 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: a public relationship that's been posting on Shade Room and 345 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: everywhere else. And that's another thing everybody keeps saying, you'll 346 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: act while you're comment on these things. We're in an 347 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: age that people are monetizing a relationship. You can't, like 348 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: I monetize my life and if I share stuff, I can't. 349 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: But you show me why you talked about that dog. 350 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: That's facts. Now, granted, there's sensitive areas there, and that's 351 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: where I wanted to make sure when I addressed in 352 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: my tone was right. Number one, she's a black woman, right, Toya, 353 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: and of course reginate right. I was extrapolating from commenting 354 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: directly on that relationship to making a larger point. I'll 355 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: try to break it down simply. And it was really 356 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: also I'm riffing. I'm cracking jokes, cracking jokes, okay. And 357 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: I even said it on the I think she had 358 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: shade you posted and I said, I said, listen, it 359 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: was a joke. And by the way I did say 360 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: the B word, I attracted it. One second later I 361 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: said I shouldn't say that because her name was slightly 362 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: associated with it. Right, So I was talking about regin day, 363 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: I said, it's kind of interesting and funny. I'm cracking jokes, yo. 364 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: She was with wife and Lucy Couerto Rico. She smooth 365 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: just dipped on that dude. She got like the opposite 366 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: of like his archetype, which which I'm just saying, a gangster, right, 367 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, I know a lot of And that's when 368 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: I used the word. I know a lot of the 369 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: B words, and I said, I shouldn't say that. A 370 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: lot of women who do the same thing. Do you 371 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: get what I mean? Yeah, the B word is a conundrum, right, 372 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: because it's it's like the N word. Um. You know, 373 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: when you use it the way you used it, or 374 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: when you hear it in music, it doesn't bother you. 375 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: But if somebody called your MoMA, that a woman that 376 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: you loved, that, now you're up in arm. So I even, 377 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: you know, even when you see the rappers getting upset, 378 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, y'all, I use that's another thing. You see, 379 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: that's another But I get it though, I get it 380 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: from both. I get I understand both sides. I will 381 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: say this, right, you use the word so much it 382 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: frequently just comes out. But he didn't say that bitch 383 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: this day. But if he said that bitch, oh, let me, 384 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: let me I apologize. I shouldn't use that. I don't 385 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: think we should use the word at all. And you know, 386 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: it's funny say he didn't say it like that. He 387 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: cleared himself, cleared it up. And by the way you say, 388 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: out of here, it's asking immediately like as soon as 389 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: it's as I shouldn't say that, and then and I 390 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: said like women or something that was definitely much more appropriate. 391 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: But here's the point. And just because I know people 392 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: don't even want to have these discussions, they rather just say, 393 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: even though you cleared it up a second earlier, and 394 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: we don't like you this week. And this is a 395 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: perfect clip. By the way, Toya said, listen, I don't 396 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: know if I told you that you act like a bitch. 397 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: And you know what I said, because she was like, 398 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: don't talk about don't talk about my child like that. 399 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm like that, but you're talking about my mama child 400 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: like you told about me. Like, like, listen, first of all, 401 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm not commented on a kid here like she's twenty 402 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: three years of age. She's she's having a public relationship. 403 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, I commented on this a lot, 404 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: I think people also think, um and maybe I'm having 405 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: a problem with this. I don't know if y'all do. 406 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: I still look at shit like the nigga in the 407 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: comments saction and I still comment on shit because I 408 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: don't and also granted, because I don't know these people, 409 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not trying to be disrespectful but I'm also 410 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: not sugarcoat and shit like, oh no this is you 411 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: know you could I could comment on Aria money back yo, 412 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: but this right here, Oh no, now you can't talk 413 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: about it.

I would you consider your wife is a 428 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: public figure? You could because you want we wrote a book. 429 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: Well at that time she was, she was not a 430 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: public figure. Don't think so. If I'm talking about one 431 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: of Charlotmagne kids who nobody knows. And by the way, 432 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: I'm getting they're probably like under eighteen. It's different than 433 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: you have a relative like for example, I even example, right, 434 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: my mom. I just retired her UM and she told me, 435 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: she said, well, Son, you know I'm a Jamaican mom. 436 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: I gotta keep busy.

But 443 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: it depends on what the channel. No no, no, she's 444 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: cooking cooking channel. No no, no, don't matter.

I'm trying to say, Mom, 447 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: I've shielded my entire family from all the hate and 448 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: vitriol I get online because I signed up for this. 449 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: I would rather you not get into that life because 450 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: just off proximity to me, you're gonna have to deal 451 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: with some hate ridicule, And honestly, if you want to 452 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: be a public figure by now getting into this life, 453 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: it's fair game. So you know how I can control it, 454 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: my nah, Let's try and figure out something else. Because 455 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: the moment she started, she starts doing that. She's a 456 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: public figure, especially when you're sharing your life. So so 457 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: what dad said, you know, you wouldn't want somebody to 458 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: talk about your mom the way you might talk about 459 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: somebody other people.

Shit, 472 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: that's public. We're monetizing for the clicks. We're monetizing for 473 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: the conversation.

Now, granted, 564 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: and this is why I said. There was some growth, 565 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: by the way, thank you. We we had a great 566 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: talk about that. There was some growth in the sense 567 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: of I know when when you know she was being 568 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: canceled as well, and I remember that everybody started circle 569 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: back around coming to me, but like, yo, what do 570 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: you feel about it? And I said, you know, having 571 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: being that person who that was another bad week, I 572 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: understood what she was going went through, you know what 573 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I understood like a lot of people were 574 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: laughing when she said, well, you know, I'm depressed, like 575 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: I have to turn my phone off, but I'm depressed 576 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: without it. And I felt bad for her more than 577 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, UM, thinking that, oh, you know what, finally 578 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: she's getting what you know I felt at that moment, 579 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: so you know, UM, in that sense, I was super 580 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: hateful with it. And that's the only reason why I 581 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: say it's different. Um. I think they're taking this one 582 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: a little bit out of context, just because yes, I 583 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: did use the word, which, by the way, it was 584 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: interesting when people did get mad at me. At first 585 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: some people were like, oh, it's because you were used 586 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: were bitch, and then everybody got everybody just saying bitch 587 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: all over the place, because it does matter the context. 588 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: It definitely does, right, and we can't all be like, oh, Aq, 589 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: you said the word bitch. Let's just erase bitch. Because 590 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: here's the thing I'm down for. Any rules, is everybody 591 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna stop saying it? We should, well, all the rappers 592 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: stop rapping, and and and because by the way, here's 593 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: the thing, and I didn't want to flip it to 594 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: this angle. Neither the reason why I already said this 595 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: about the word nigga. I was born in Jamaica Spanish time, Jamaica. 596 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: The first time, the first time I cognizantly ever heard 597 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: the word nigga was in the United States of America, 598 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: and that ship has been littered in my vocabulary through 599 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: learning it socially, through music and other methods that you 600 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: get indoctrinated to it. Same with I won't say the 601 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: word bit soho, but but like no, I think we 602 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: also got to think about the cultural influences to why 603 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: when we're talking, why do we just constantly sprinkle these things? 604 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: They're like condiments to our conversation, to our theatrics. So granted, 605 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: I'll take certain blames, but if we are, we're gonna 606 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: have a bigger discussion about the words. Because a lot 607 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: of the times I heard that word being said, I 608 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: heard have been saying to my favorite Wayne Verse the 609 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: question have you spoke to Chrissy since then?

I don't if I'll be but but 654 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: Slot the Flex Flex call me. Had a whole conversation 655 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: with him. Pull me on text with a bunch of people, 656 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: it's like he's like, I want to bridge someone understanding. 657 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: And he also made a post on Instagram saying, Yo, 658 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: he's trying to bridge some under standing through conversations. And 659 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: you know what, the majority of people said, why the 660 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: fuck would you talk to that clown? What could you 661 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: at that point? What could you do? So if that's 662 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: how they see that, it puts me in a weird spot. 663 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: Y'all are focused on what I say. Y'all care about 664 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: what I say. But if I and I always I 665 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: was telling my brother yesterday because he's like, yo, damn, YO, 666 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: you said something else, and I had to tell him. 667 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 1: I said, listen, I do about maybe fifty hours fifty 668 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: to sixty hours of live audio or audio, you know, 669 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: whether it's YouTube, podcast, you know my news updates per week. 670 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: Extrapolate that to a year. I'm gonna say some shit that, 671 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, maybe I thought it was a joke. 672 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: People didn't think it was a joke. And I hope 673 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: to just deal with it as it goes. But there 674 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: is no way I could just not offend anyone in 675 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: this world, not now. I think. I think another thing 676 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: that's missing too, is like as rappers are just us 677 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: in hip hop have gotten older. You know when you 678 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: when you know better, you do better. You know, you 679 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: get older. We got kids, we get wiser. But the 680 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: problem is we haven't held ourselves accountable for the things 681 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: that we used to do or used to say that 682 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: may be influencing a thirty year old person like yourself. 683 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: But also that's why when we had the conversation on that, 684 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard it, the first thing 685 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: I said was we need to talk to him. Let's 686 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: let's call him up and bring him up here and 687 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: have that conversation, because that's what I did, Remember I 688 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: told you, But I did the same thing because I 689 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: felt the same way. I was upset about something and 690 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: I used it. So I'm never upset with somebody. I 691 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: always want to know why, huh. Now. I used to 692 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: call it when me and Flex and everybody was gonna 693 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: I used to call him old in that and Kickapre 694 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: pulled up on me and was like, bro, we all 695 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: have ages. We all get to a point. You never 696 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: want to box somebody else. We all a birthday, we 697 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: all got a birthday. It stuck with me and I 698 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: was like, you're right, I'll never say that again. You know, 699 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: I'll go at anybody well, but I'll never use that 700 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: age again, call them dusty or whatever it may be, 701 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: because you can't be mad at somebody for not having 702 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: the knowledge, because it's got to be confusing when rappers 703 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: start telling rappers start coming at you for using the 704 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: B word because then you're like, well, when did the 705 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: memo go out there? We're not using the B word 706 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: no more in hip hop? Correct? You know? So I 707 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: want to go back to also meek mil why don't 708 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: you meet meal get along? Where did that start?

I hope to do 716 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: this for other people too. You know, some people think 717 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm an agitator, but you know, in the last year 718 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: when I've been able to try to bridge gaps or 719 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: like you know, put two people on the phone or whatever, 720 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,719 Speaker 1: like I try.

Um shit, shit happens all the time. 873 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: You know. My usually my people around me, like my family, 874 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: they'll be more spooped. But you know, I just try 875 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: to just move a little bit better. And you know, again, 876 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: we are making conscious decisions for this life. That's that's 877 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 1: one thing. You know. I learned that from you, because 878 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, again, I could have also just ran to 879 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere and just lived in a bunker. 880 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: But um shit, I like a couple of nice cars. Shit, 881 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: I bought some jurry Like nigga, you're gonna have to 882 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: deal with some consequences or you're gonna have to adjust 883 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,919 Speaker 1: to make sure that you're okay now. Joe Button also 884 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: criticized you releasing the PMB interview yeah, a couple of 885 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: days after his passing. Yeah, what were your thoughts on that? 886 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: Joe's my man, And I think I think Joe primarily 887 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: did that because he just got an Adam twenty two. 888 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: I think Adam dropped like a video like someone died 889 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: and he put like a video with the guy who 890 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: like meet the guy who killed blah blah blah. Right, 891 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: and I thought I think Joe was saying that was 892 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: tasteless among other things when dealing with death. Um, I 893 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: think this was completely different. So PM b Rock, you know, 894 00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: tragically and unfortunately, you know, passed away in lad Yeah, 895 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: when somebody try to like, you know, rob him. The 896 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: same week, we do an interview where he's talking about 897 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: a similar situation that almost happened. I remember asking, I said, 898 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: so damn, why do you think that happened like that? 899 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: He's like, man, I don't know the timing of it. 900 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: I think number one, it was newsworthy, So so it's different. 901 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't like when people are just trying to monetize 902 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: off death, but I think that's newsworthy. That's adds to 903 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: what's going on, because maybe this just isn't random. Oh 904 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean it's it's not even it's 905 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: not even a hip hop thing. Every media outlet does this. 906 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's CNN, NBC, ABC. When somebody 907 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: passes away, they got their mintages and packages and old 908 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 1: videos and pictures and old interviews. Everybody does it. I 909 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: think I think in hip hop media, um, I like 910 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,280 Speaker 1: to say new and independent media is treats. It's differently 911 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: because Revolt could run you know what I mean, the 912 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: oldest interview or freestyle they have of P and B Rocking. 913 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of like they're paying homage, you know what 914 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 1: I mean, Like they're showing love. If you do the same, 915 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: they're thinking, oh, you're making man money off of him, 916 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: like you just exploiting. So I do think there's a 917 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,879 Speaker 1: new state of the TV networks. What do you think 918 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: advertising advertisings are When they do these specials where they 919 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,280 Speaker 1: played the funeral back or they send for Queen Elizabeth, 920 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: they sent all their journalists over to the UK, like 921 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: it's the same thing what we do, or like what 922 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: I'm successful they're doing. And I like to call it 923 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: I want to Draymond Graem myself on some new media ship. 924 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: But I do think these new platforms are becoming so popular. 925 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: Like some people are looking at certain podcasts or just 926 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: certain blogs or certain you know, certain YouTube channels as oh, 927 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: these are like they're almost as loud, you know, at 928 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,800 Speaker 1: least within certain aspects of the culture like a revolt, 929 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: And I think people are extra critical of them because 930 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: you also can see a face to it, you know, 931 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean, even though the d he is kind of 932 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 1: face revolt, it still a whole corporation. You don't even 933 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 1: think about some of the stuff that you think about. 934 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: When act post is it right posts? You're like, oh shit, 935 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: so you mean the act just made this decision. And 936 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 1: also for whatever reason, people feel like it's wrong that 937 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: people in new media make money. I don't know what 938 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: it is, you know what I mean. So it's like again, 939 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: I try, I try to understand it from their point 940 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: of view. Like for me, I would never exploit in 941 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: the sense of, um, there's where you could be you 942 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: could exploit, like you know what I mean. For example, 943 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,240 Speaker 1: if I if I had a moment or a negative 944 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: moment of that said artist, and if we're passing it, 945 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 1: we're gonna show remembrance. And I'm just throwing that back 946 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: up just to get some clicks because now everybody want 947 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: to get I think that's exploited. I wouldn't. I looked 948 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 1: at it from a different perspective too. It's like, you know, 949 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 1: God bless the brother PN b Rock. But you know, 950 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: at the time, musically he wasn't like popping, but you 951 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 1: still sat down with him and you still had a 952 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: conversation with him. I didn't see nobody else doing that. 953 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 1: Oh that's another thing. And this is why you know, 954 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: I was left kind of um. I was torn on 955 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,080 Speaker 1: that because you know, there's so many people who or 956 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 1: who were fake when it comes to that shit. Yo. 957 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: I sat on the phone with P and B like 958 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: they just got off Atlantic Atlantic dropping mad people.

Um, but I don't want that 977 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: to be the subject of the conversation because it is 978 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: really you know, a young black man lost his life. 979 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. But there's a lot of 980 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,840 Speaker 1: people who are really pretentious with that, you know what 981 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 1: I mean, Like they're acting like I just hold a 982 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: P and b Rock interview out of my ass from 983 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: when he was popping and no none, no platform. He 984 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: was telling me these things on the phone. Oh yeah, 985 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: I mean I was supposed I was supposed to do 986 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: interviews with them.

It's like, damn, what the features are. 989 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: It's like, damn that nigga. He used to give me 990 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: back a feature back in the day. Now they talked 991 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: about some loud amount of money because they don't do 992 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: swap store more. Um, yeah, people switched up on him, 993 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I see all those people 994 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,359 Speaker 1: still throw up the picture of R and P. Everything's cool, 995 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Then just just let it go. 996 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,320 Speaker 1: Let's go back to Let's go back to some of 997 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: the stuff from last week. Like, because the one thing 998 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 1: I saw people keep saying is you know what his 999 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: academics done for the culture? How would you answer that question? Um, 1000 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a hard question for me to 1001 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 1: answer because I don't know if they value what what 1002 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 1: I know I've done. You know, so what is it? 1003 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: I've provided a platform? I think music these days has changed. 1004 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 1: The mere fact that people in artists like NBA Young Boy, 1005 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: the mere fact that drill is even gone to the 1006 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: places is gone the UK, Toronto, New York. It's like 1007 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 1: one of the biggest and most recognized, recognizable genres and 1008 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,439 Speaker 1: most infectious genres in the world. There was a time 1009 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 1: that there was no media outlet really pushing it and 1010 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 1: really kind of like showing these stories and really telling 1011 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: you know people what was really going on with not 1012 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 1: only the popular arts, but these other artists as well. 1013 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 1: That's where my platform always got this, you know, um um, 1014 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: I always always got my come up. I realized y'all, 1015 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,319 Speaker 1: y'all talk about Drake, y'all talked about Kanye. Y'all got 1016 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 1: a bigger platform at least at that time. So I'm like, yo, 1017 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: I can't compete with y'all, So what could I do 1018 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,919 Speaker 1: to be unique? Look for the place in the market 1019 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: that nobody was talking about. You rappers like Little Ouzy, 1020 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,399 Speaker 1: little Yati Man, I was covering their lives daily. I'm going, 1021 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: let's let's put these guys up. I remember everyone said, yo, 1022 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 1: SoundCloud rapper, that would be a fad. I'm covering the 1023 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,400 Speaker 1: Cardis of the world. Cardies just closed Rolling Aloud yesterday. 1024 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: UZI was at in one of the biggest you know, 1025 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: um sets at Rolling Aloud. Like they're the biggest artists 1026 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 1: in this culture. And that's why they fuck with you 1027 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: the way that they do because you supported them from 1028 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,919 Speaker 1: day one, which which is what I always said about actors, 1029 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 1: like you can go back and look at acts page 1030 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 1: ten years ago, eleven years ago. I've been following them 1031 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 1: that long. These guys didn't have dreads, they didn't have tattoos, 1032 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: but not someone big in the world would say, well, 1033 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 1: how do you give back to the culture? Right, So 1034 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: how would you answer that? Well, I mean it's not 1035 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 1: it's not providing a platform for dudes who are trying 1036 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,280 Speaker 1: to get out of certain situations and trying to further themselves, 1037 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,359 Speaker 1: um in their career to help their family giving back, 1038 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: Like what sense of giving back is it is? It 1039 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: is just because but don't I didn't make a sizeable 1040 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: donation to anybody, like sizable donation. But like you said 1041 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: about you know, some of the as you put it, 1042 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: dusty old old rappers, and that they don't necessarily give 1043 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 1: back to the other people who are coming up to 1044 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 1: explain in the breakdown the business. Oh yeah, that's that's 1045 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,240 Speaker 1: about a third or what I do. I remember sitting 1046 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: back and wondering, yea, these niggas talking about their record contract, 1047 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: But how that look Like I created a rap parody 1048 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 1: um thing called a little act that I could actually 1049 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 1: go get signed, that I could actually like I got 1050 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: a JV to make sure because I don't want to 1051 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: be I remember back in the day when Ryan Clark 1052 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: looked at like skip baylists or like he was Steven A. 1053 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: Smith and basically said, y'all, I think he's never played 1054 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: no ball, like how it was j Yeah, yeah, I 1055 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 1: think he's never played no ball. Like how are we 1056 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 1: going to listen to the nigga who's just the guy 1057 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: in the stands? So I tried my best to understand 1058 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,359 Speaker 1: the game. And if you ask a lot of these 1059 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: new artists, who who is that just interview recently, I 1060 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 1: don't know if it was Boy Rich or somebody else, 1061 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,879 Speaker 1: but they were like, yo, you helped, you broke down 1062 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: the game for me and gave me a blueprinted understanding 1063 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,800 Speaker 1: the ship when that seems so foreign and just far fetched. 1064 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: So like, that's I think what my contribution is. For example, recently, 1065 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: like the whole future selling as masters shit, you know 1066 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: what I mean, young um not masters publishing. Young Boy 1067 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 1: just signed some deal that that's kind of has some 1068 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: of the same same elements. And I'm explaining to these 1069 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,279 Speaker 1: people why. I know we all preach ownership, ownership shit, right, 1070 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:38,320 Speaker 1: but there are smart moves that people do in the industry, 1071 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 1: and I explained to how it makes sense. That's that's 1072 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 1: what I think. Music education. I don't think there's nobody 1073 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: else who and especially I'm not an artist. I've given 1074 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,400 Speaker 1: more music and business education than I can't. Is it 1075 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,400 Speaker 1: legitimate though, Like everything I'm saying is legit. I'm not 1076 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,839 Speaker 1: just capping. Every artist calls me on it. They call 1077 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: me first of all, I'm getting when you get information 1078 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 1: from most of these artists and executives. These these executives, 1079 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: they'll tell me, no one wants to ruin that situation. 1080 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,839 Speaker 1: No one wants to, you know, because they don't get 1081 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,360 Speaker 1: paid for talking. I do. So I get on the 1082 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,839 Speaker 1: phone with these executives. I had to you know, many 1083 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: people I talked about when I had to figure out 1084 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 1: what's going to Atlantic? Why is meat milling out signed? 1085 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 1: There no more? Why is cod that Black about to 1086 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 1: be a free agent? Why did P and b Rock 1087 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,760 Speaker 1: get dropped? PM? B Rock was not originally on Empire. 1088 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to say, oh, Empire is getting artist. No, 1089 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,799 Speaker 1: he's an Atlantic artist, NBA young boy? Why did they 1090 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,279 Speaker 1: tell that, young man? And I'm getting from the source 1091 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 1: like the guys I'm talking even sometimes your lawyers. Why 1092 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 1: why did Atlantic basically tell Young Boy listen after twenty 1093 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 1: two albums that you dropped in in a time period 1094 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:53,479 Speaker 1: where we only contracted you to do five. Hey, we'll 1095 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,880 Speaker 1: negotiate and give you this amount of money, but we 1096 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: didn't give you a motherfucking party of master's back. These 1097 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,960 Speaker 1: are real things. What does that mean? When young Boy started, 1098 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 1: he's seventeen, he's twenty two. Now you want to say, 1099 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,439 Speaker 1: what the fun going on? He's just putting out music. 1100 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: It took a team to be around him now. He 1101 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 1: just started. And that's why he loves Burdman so much. 1102 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: Even though you know you can say whatever about Burman. 1103 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 1: Burnman helped him understanding and his team as well. Bro, 1104 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: you know you just satisfy you theoretic who you satisfied 1105 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 1: contract four times? They're eating crazy off of you. Look 1106 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,800 Speaker 1: how they own your YouTube money, They own this this. 1107 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: These are things that to a seventeen year old coming 1108 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 1: in the game, that was like when he got in 1109 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: the games, um NBA. Young Boy was an artist who 1110 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 1: got a suspended ten years sentence for being in a 1111 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: drive by. He not thinking about well, this is what 1112 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 1: a music contract looks like. This is how I should 1113 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 1: do it. No, he's just you fucking I'm hid here. 1114 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,320 Speaker 1: He signs to a label and the label is seeing 1115 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 1: ten times what they even bargained from from him. Forget 1116 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,959 Speaker 1: the negotiation power. He doesn't even know what it means. 1117 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 1: So that's why I'm talking about when it comes to 1118 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 1: music education, like we should, we should, we should. I remember, 1119 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: for the longest I was confused about the difference between 1120 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: masters and publishing. You get me, Okay, how do you 1121 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: gets paid from Spotify? Break all these ship down? Do 1122 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,800 Speaker 1: you think that the things you've done to quote unquote 1123 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:23,239 Speaker 1: offend people, overshadow the lane you've called it for yourself? No, 1124 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 1: And I was close to saying yes, but I would 1125 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 1: say no just off the fact of I think it's 1126 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 1: because of how I came in the game and what 1127 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean, how I came in the game. It wasn't traditional. Um, 1128 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 1: it still feels outside of ish to the majority of 1129 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:47,279 Speaker 1: people who whom would would voice the descent of the paion. 1130 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: You know, I feel what he's saying. If you come 1131 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 1: up in a certain space like radio, it's like a 1132 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,840 Speaker 1: validation that comes with that. Yeah, like your authority exactly, 1133 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,120 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So they still look at me, 1134 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: and I remember even shit, even with media, there's some 1135 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 1: of the biggest hip hop stories that I broke and 1136 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 1: people would be like, well, well, they'll report the same 1137 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,759 Speaker 1: thing later. But we ain't gonna believe him because he 1138 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 1: ain't TMC, or we ain't gonna believe him because he 1139 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,439 Speaker 1: not you know, double Cell, And why is that the case? 1140 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I have like, there's nobody 1141 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 1: double Cell with more reached to artists than me. I'm 1142 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,040 Speaker 1: talking to these actual people I'm putting in the work. 1143 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 1: It just it looks different though the optics are very 1144 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,040 Speaker 1: different when I say it, than them. So you know 1145 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 1: what I mean. You're talking about krizzy tigue and slighting 1146 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,840 Speaker 1: you earlier. Do you have any animosity towards just the industry? 1147 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,279 Speaker 1: Because you might, you might feel like so many of 1148 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: these people did front on you. Yo, I told you 1149 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: this one day though. I told Sharman, I said, listen, 1150 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: like I use these things as motivation. I needed it, 1151 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 1: fused me like it for the moments I want to 1152 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: sleep eight hours now, I'm sleeping forward just because I 1153 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 1: remember that motherfucker trying to slip me. I'm glad it happened, 1154 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 1: But I use this feeling motivation now. Granted I am petty, 1155 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: so don't think ten years later we're being like, oh okay, 1156 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 1: he's just no. But I think we all do it 1157 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,839 Speaker 1: if somebody like you know, didn't you know? And one 1158 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 1: thing's like it's an honest mistake, right, Like say a 1159 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 1: great artist emails you a record like every play the 1160 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,400 Speaker 1: shit you you overlooked or you didn't see it like 1161 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,320 Speaker 1: you probably a million emails, right, and then later that 1162 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: artist brings it up to you. Oh should I don't 1163 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,360 Speaker 1: see it? Cool. It's different than you're like, man, this 1164 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 1: niggas whack, right, and then he pops off. He's always 1165 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 1: gonna remember that you called him whack and if and 1166 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: if he wants to like I don't know, say you're 1167 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:43,719 Speaker 1: doing a party or whatever you want, you want to 1168 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 1: book him, it's like nigga's double the price. Remember you 1169 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:47,880 Speaker 1: want this whack ass artist, And I understand it. You 1170 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 1: gotta understand it. So of course I do. I use 1171 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 1: all those things as motivation and m but you gotta 1172 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: understand the pettinesses on the other side too, because you 1173 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: got the microphone and you could say something I'm but 1174 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: you said the breakfast Club is gonna be over. No 1175 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,319 Speaker 1: see he said something like that. You didn't say something 1176 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 1: about the No no no no no no no. I 1177 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,880 Speaker 1: didn't say somebody, but I'll repeat it. So I said this, 1178 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 1: I said, Um, I was commented when Angela said that 1179 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,840 Speaker 1: the well she said it's over as you know it, 1180 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,800 Speaker 1: And I said, listen. Radio is a dying format, and 1181 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,799 Speaker 1: even as I sit here, I'll still maintain that point 1182 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,840 Speaker 1: of dying format. I said, this is the last legendary 1183 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: radio show. There will be none after this. Like this 1184 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,359 Speaker 1: is everybody. It will be happening in different mediums. It's 1185 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,759 Speaker 1: happening now. Look at drink Champs COmON. I's worth the game, right, Um? 1186 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,160 Speaker 1: I said, if I was on radio, I would leave. 1187 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: So not because I'm calling the platform that's dying, not 1188 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: because I'm calling a platform dying. I didn't say none 1189 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:47,359 Speaker 1: of y'all should have left, you know what I mean. 1190 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, if i'm you, I'm ryning's been to 1191 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,840 Speaker 1: the wheel fall off? So are you? Y'all put in 1192 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 1: a lot of sweat and equity and blood equity into 1193 00:56:55,280 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 1: this ship. I'm sticking with this. However, these days, culturally, 1194 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 1: if we're talking about justin content. The majority of of 1195 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:13,399 Speaker 1: of um relevant talking points or content pieces comes from 1196 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 1: a lot of other places. Yeah, that's a fact. I mean, listen, 1197 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 1: the radio still has the most reach. We cover ninety 1198 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 1: eight percent of the country, but I will say I 1199 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,440 Speaker 1: feel like it has the least impact. Yeah, and I 1200 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 1: think what radios, what radio's places, and this and this aratically, 1201 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 1: we'll talk too, Definitely talk, definitely talk because like he 1202 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,959 Speaker 1: said about, you know a lot of us using clips 1203 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 1: from other platforms. A lot of platforms use our clips 1204 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: same way. Yeah. Yeah, but that's We're an exception. But 1205 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 1: that's what that's the point. The point is now. The 1206 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 1: point is now. I think that radio is really the 1207 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 1: ultimate amplifier. It's the compliment to everything that's going on now. 1208 00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,960 Speaker 1: Like when it comes to personalities, podcasts will leading that, 1209 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to music, screaming services, leading that, when 1210 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 1: it comes to shows, festivals of leading that, you know 1211 00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,640 Speaker 1: what I mean, when it comes to breaking news, social media. 1212 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 1: The only thing radio can do is be the ultimate 1213 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 1: compliment and amplify to all those things. Correct, Yeah, yeah, 1214 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I didn't say I was over there. 1215 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 1: Don't try to put me in the mall box, like 1216 00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,920 Speaker 1: I know you'll try to use as no I mean, 1217 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean I heard him say that before too. And 1218 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: you know, the funny thing is, is you think you petty. 1219 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,440 Speaker 1: I think there's nobody petty than me, Like we probably 1220 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: we probably the same petty party. Charlomagne knows that. But 1221 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, my whole thing is, if you think something 1222 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,560 Speaker 1: is over, don't call and say I want to get 1223 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 1: on that platform that I think it's whack or you 1224 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 1: know what I mean, I just honestly don't. But I 1225 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 1: like the SPA. I mean, I like to compete, but 1226 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 1: it is what it is. But I also like to 1227 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 1: have conversations. I like to see brothers doing well. I 1228 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 1: like to see brothers getting money, and I like to 1229 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 1: help if I can help, Like you know, that's why 1230 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 1: I do the real estate so much.

So if I can 1232 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: help somebody and show them to wait and I don't 1233 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 1: I don't have to charge you.

And even 1327 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:08,919 Speaker 1: though you know, I think right now I'm a little 1328 01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,520 Speaker 1: bit immature with my political commentary, but I sprinkle that 1329 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,680 Speaker 1: in and I watched my audience, but also, like it comes, 1330 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna get back what you've been putting out. 1331 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 1: What do you mean? So once you get older, it's 1332 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 1: gonna be some young boy kicking your back in calling 1333 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: you no no, the old and Dusty two. But I 1334 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 1: won't be stepping on their toes. I'm not gonna I'm 1335 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 1: not gonna see the guy, like say, the guy who 1336 01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 1: when I say people comparing to me. I'm not gonna 1337 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 1: see him get to a point in his career where 1338 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,439 Speaker 1: he can make a big move or whatever. And maybe 1339 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the same type of forking the road that I was at. 1340 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 1: And if I never put my hand around him and 1341 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 1: gave him some game, if you make it the same 1342 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 1: mistake I made or say like you did a Christy 1343 01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 1: team and they be like, man, you're stupid motherfucker. I'm 1344 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,760 Speaker 1: not gonna do that because I'm gonna understand that, Like, bro, 1345 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 1: you made those mistakes. You gotta allow him to make 1346 01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,720 Speaker 1: his right. So I don't want to ever be the 1347 01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: old dude, right Broke, Dusty or Rich just pointing at 1348 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 1: the young dude was criticizing them when you never you 1349 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 1: never try to school them, You never passed down no game, 1350 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,560 Speaker 1: and now you're just looking like you're on the porch 1351 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 1: criticizing them to look at you. I hear, gang bang, 1352 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 1: it used to be doing the same shit, would just 1353 01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 1: call something different, you know what I mean. So that's 1354 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: my point. Do you think it's a ceiling on what 1355 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 1: you do? Because I said, everybody got a birthday and 1356 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 1: at some point you all gonna be the old guy 1357 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 1: in hip hop. If you think there's a ceiling, um, No, 1358 01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 1: Because what I believe I do and what people think 1359 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,360 Speaker 1: I do and what I want to do or three 1360 01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 1: different things. What do you believe you do? So I 1361 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:47,400 Speaker 1: believe I'm a broadcaster and a platform owner. People believe 1362 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm just a twitch nigga. What I want to do 1363 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 1: is I want to develop a platform, and that's much 1364 01:04:55,640 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 1: more important than it won't be forever people are hearing 1365 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 1: my voice. It might be it might be another person 1366 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 1: just coming to my network. You want your own choice, 1367 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 1: want your own and and and that's where I feel 1368 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:15,439 Speaker 1: like you know me right now as a personality. I'll 1369 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,520 Speaker 1: say this. I always wanted to be on the Breakfast Club. 1370 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:19,919 Speaker 1: Like when I was coming, I was like, damn, I wish. 1371 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 1: But I was like, damn, it's them three they ain't. 1372 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 1: I had no fourth, and damn you probably not in 1373 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 1: a long line of people. You ain't never internal radio, 1374 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 1: never did all these things which you're traditionally how are 1375 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 1: you kind of get in the space. So I was like, yo, damn, 1376 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,120 Speaker 1: how do I get on? And I always tell rappers this, 1377 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 1: if I made my own platform when I couldn't find 1378 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 1: a platform to go on, like if I got hired 1379 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 1: on these stations, I'm not me. And once I made 1380 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 1: my platform, I remember, I remember que from World Star 1381 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 1: came to me. It was like, yo, Ac, Yo, we'll 1382 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 1: pay you this amount of money, just come work for us. 1383 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: You do world Star News. And I saw enough value 1384 01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:56,040 Speaker 1: in me having my platform. I said, Noah, I ain't 1385 01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 1: gonna do that. But that's how I came up with 1386 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:01,160 Speaker 1: the idea of having a platform. So I look at 1387 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,520 Speaker 1: myself as platform first, even though I'm the face of it. 1388 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 1: My face is driving it. But at some at some time, 1389 01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,280 Speaker 1: the platform is supposed to live on. And you know, 1390 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 1: even now as I'm you know, like shit out, we 1391 01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 1: own a few studios like in you know, Jersey City, 1392 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,280 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to build out you know, some podcasts 1393 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: and stuff, probably either network or not, maybe just not 1394 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 1: even the podcast network, just a digital digital network. Now 1395 01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 1: it's to the point where I'm like, okay, cool, your 1396 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 1: face is driven your platform so much that all these 1397 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 1: new young media niggas, they all look at you like 1398 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 1: how you looked up to Charlottagne. They all look at 1399 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,280 Speaker 1: you like, bro, we watched this of yours. This is 1400 01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,160 Speaker 1: why I've taken a grown up approach, because I used 1401 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,000 Speaker 1: to go at people who was similar to me. I'm like, nigga, 1402 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 1: you copy my ship. Now I'm like, let me, let 1403 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 1: me put my arm around you and trying to invite 1404 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,120 Speaker 1: you out to the fold. That's that's yeah, And hopefully 1405 01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 1: I can empower them too, like let me empower y'all 1406 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:02,920 Speaker 1: rather than kind of like be like, oh, I'm the 1407 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 1: only one through the door, Come sit next to me. 1408 01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,040 Speaker 1: That's why I created the Black Effect podcast network, or 1409 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 1: even with the Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club, I want 1410 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 1: to be a format that outlives all of us. You know, 1411 01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,480 Speaker 1: Ye's going to do her own thing. If NV ever 1412 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 1: decides he wants to move on, I ever decide I 1413 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 1: want to move on, at least that name can still 1414 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: be here with new players. Yeah, you say you talk 1415 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: to a lot of different orders and try to mend 1416 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 1: beef and try to talk to them. Do you ever 1417 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:31,160 Speaker 1: have conversations with six nine? Yeah? How did those conversations 1418 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 1: turn out? Man? Frustrating? Frustrating because he's one of those 1419 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:41,440 Speaker 1: people who, Yeah, you're not pettiting him every No, you're not. 1420 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 1: Anytime I try to appeal to his humanity anytime, I 1421 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 1: try to be like yo, bro, And we've gotten the 1422 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 1: arguments where like like you know, just as friends like men, 1423 01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm not fucking with you right now at all?

But 1426 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,440 Speaker 1: at times I'm like this is too much. Um, and 1427 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,480 Speaker 1: oftentimes this is this is how we act. Like For example, 1428 01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: P and b Rock just passed away, you know, and 1429 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 1: he had a negative comment. You know, I used to 1430 01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,600 Speaker 1: repost those. I told him, I said, that's a dub. 1431 01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:18,560 Speaker 1: I can't like it feels like I'm almost passively amplifying that. 1432 01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:20,920 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm not gonna sit there and delete 1433 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:22,200 Speaker 1: every one of your comments.

This is why I hate when you do this. 1439 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,719 Speaker 1: When P and b Rock was alive and was saying 1440 01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:46,720 Speaker 1: he can't wait for the day I die, you reposted 1441 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 1: him saying that.

And that's really his type of that's 1444 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,559 Speaker 1: his reaction to most of these things. But you can't 1445 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 1: be mad at that because a lot of these people 1446 01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 1: said they hope he dies. They hate him. He's a snitch, 1447 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,360 Speaker 1: he's a rat, talk about him. Gave him middle fingers 1448 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,599 Speaker 1: fucked that fucked at me other So now when something happens, he's, 1449 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, not to say it's right, but for him, 1450 01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 1: he's like, I don't give a fuck if you alive 1451 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 1: or dead, I don't fuck with you. That's how he 1452 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,640 Speaker 1: felt that shit. That's why the whole King Vaughan thing. 1453 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:23,880 Speaker 1: I remember having a yeah. Me and him ain't talked 1454 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 1: for a while after the King Valan thing, like yeah, 1455 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: and he was just like, and I give him credit 1456 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: in the sense of, you know, as a friend, he 1457 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,960 Speaker 1: had maybe say, oh, I know you're really upset, let's 1458 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 1: talk about it. And I just sat there and I 1459 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 1: was just like, this is more than y'all issues. And 1460 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,439 Speaker 1: he was quoting twenty things that King Vaughan said to him. 1461 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 1: He's like King wid wrapped in a lyric. This he's 1462 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 1: saying this about me. They all can't wait till I die? 1463 01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,400 Speaker 1: Why can't I? And I remember saying to him, I'm like, what, 1464 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 1: people are hurt? A lot of people are hurt. And 1465 01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 1: even sometimes when these artists who I have someone of 1466 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 1: a connection with, I'm hurt. I'm hurt of they're passing. 1467 01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,160 Speaker 1: And then I control a platform that you're used in 1468 01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,760 Speaker 1: or trying to use to disrespect those same artists, so 1469 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,680 Speaker 1: you're trying to amplify my my hurt. So it's like, 1470 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:10,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's very difficult, but um, you know, I 1471 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,560 Speaker 1: think for him there got to be someplace where you 1472 01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,640 Speaker 1: find some inner peace. But I also feel like if 1473 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 1: we have beef when you're alive, it doesn't end when 1474 01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,120 Speaker 1: you die, like and that's that's whoever has beef like 1475 01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 1: And I always look at it like fifty. You know, 1476 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,240 Speaker 1: fifty is my brother. If one of those people that 1477 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:28,120 Speaker 1: have beef with fifty die, he's not gonna stop, all right, 1478 01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,160 Speaker 1: But that's a man that got shot nine times. It 1479 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 1: wasn't neither one of y'all are wrong, but neither one 1480 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 1: of y'all a wrong. But you just gotta understand you 1481 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 1: gotta deal with to consequences that come with that. Correct. 1482 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 1: So if you're gonna shoot on somebody who passed away, 1483 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:40,560 Speaker 1: know that that person has people who love them, Know 1484 01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:42,640 Speaker 1: that that person has people who ride for them, and 1485 01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 1: when they see you, it's gonna be some its gonna 1486 01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,320 Speaker 1: be some consequences to recussions. I think he's accepted that 1487 01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:52,080 Speaker 1: thing exactly. But but here's the thing too right. I 1488 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,320 Speaker 1: do know in the course of hip hop conversation. And 1489 01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 1: I remember one time when he told me he was like, yo, 1490 01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,000 Speaker 1: he did something. Forgot what it was was some like 1491 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 1: he was like he with the Nipsey mural shit, and 1492 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 1: he was just like, yo, they said I couldn't come here, 1493 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 1: I went there. Like if anybody else, if they said 1494 01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 1: anybody else couldn't go somewhere and they went there, they 1495 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,600 Speaker 1: would call them tough. But they all just mad at me. 1496 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,720 Speaker 1: Told him by I'm disrespectful, nobody. Why an't I called 1497 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 1: me tough? What you called the other guy tough? And 1498 01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,479 Speaker 1: you know I always I always have this one thing. 1499 01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,439 Speaker 1: I'm like listening Sometimes it's better to be liked than 1500 01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:26,479 Speaker 1: to be right, because you're arguing such technicalities. At the 1501 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,120 Speaker 1: same point you're saying, well, if they're saying that about 1502 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,760 Speaker 1: when he dies, why can't he keep the same energy? Well, 1503 01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,640 Speaker 1: nobody likes six nine except like me, right, So like 1504 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,599 Speaker 1: truth be told, they're having a parade if he dies. 1505 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,760 Speaker 1: You know this, right they're having and there would be 1506 01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,559 Speaker 1: nobody on social media saying stop it, guys, it's gonna 1507 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,120 Speaker 1: be everybody's pot. That's what I'm trying to say that's 1508 01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,280 Speaker 1: gonna be like Queen Elizabeth times a hundred, except I 1509 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:54,000 Speaker 1: don't know where they had fun with Elizabeth. That's how thousand. 1510 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,040 Speaker 1: But like like see, but like six nine does stuff 1511 01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,160 Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with beef. Right, he's in 1512 01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,800 Speaker 1: Russia right now performing. Yeah, he sticks up his middle 1513 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:05,479 Speaker 1: finger and says, fuck Britney grinder. Yeah, but the Britney Brittany. 1514 01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 1: You can't. He can't pull up a Britney ground and 1515 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,599 Speaker 1: rap that says he said anything about him? No, I agree, 1516 01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 1: I agree, and by the Heay did say it was drum. 1517 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 1: But still like, I don't be here defending him because 1518 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,360 Speaker 1: I do think he just has a he just loves 1519 01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,800 Speaker 1: that beef ship man. You know, do you ever look 1520 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:20,960 Speaker 1: back at your drunken ranch and say I went too far? 1521 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,240 Speaker 1: And the reason I asked that is because of watching 1522 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 1: people around you who have had to deal with those consequences, 1523 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 1: whether it was six or nine going to jail, whether 1524 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,400 Speaker 1: it was you know XXX, God blessed the day, you know, 1525 01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 1: getting murdered, all the other rappers that you name that 1526 01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,559 Speaker 1: you had a relationship with, is it worth it um 1527 01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:37,880 Speaker 1: if I ever say something or I speak out of turn, 1528 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 1: or if I say something that didn't mean or maybe 1529 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,519 Speaker 1: I mishnorest to something that reacted to it. In one 1530 01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:47,040 Speaker 1: of those rants, I usually address it. I'm always I 1531 01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:48,720 Speaker 1: try to hold myself account. I let the people home 1532 01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,120 Speaker 1: accountble too. You know, there's been times I think I've 1533 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,320 Speaker 1: been all the way right and people like nah, especially 1534 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 1: like you know, you could get a read from like 1535 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, the temperature of everybody. M One thing I 1536 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,559 Speaker 1: try not to do is allow myself to be bullied. 1537 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:04,879 Speaker 1: But also sometimes again I'm gonna keep saying this, sometimes 1538 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 1: this is more important to be liked than to be right. 1539 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:11,080 Speaker 1: For example, I remember people saying whatever, like okay, I 1540 01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:16,519 Speaker 1: commented about Freddy Gibbs, right man, nobody and fifty has 1541 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,719 Speaker 1: said used to say this too. Nobody remembers the action 1542 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,559 Speaker 1: that caused a reaction. Freddy Gibbs was putting them memes 1543 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,680 Speaker 1: with me photoshopp in a casket and him spitting on it. 1544 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:31,240 Speaker 1: Nobody cared about that, right, I comment, like, I make 1545 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 1: two jokes about him getting beat up. Oh my god, 1546 01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,200 Speaker 1: look at his bitch ass. That's what I'm saying. So 1547 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,000 Speaker 1: people only see one side, so you know, like they 1548 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 1: like Freddy Gibbs, especially on Twitter. They're like him more 1549 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 1: than me. So if if I trip and fall, it's like, yes, 1550 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,640 Speaker 1: if something happens as really as a result of his 1551 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,439 Speaker 1: own actions, they're like yo, wait wait you can't you 1552 01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 1: can't laugh at that. So again, you know what I mean. 1553 01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,639 Speaker 1: It's always gonna be like um, like um, one sided 1554 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,200 Speaker 1: like that. But you know, I've understood that through the media, 1555 01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,200 Speaker 1: like the media create favorites and like, for example, everything 1556 01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,400 Speaker 1: you've seen popping off with me, where is it emanating 1557 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:04,600 Speaker 1: from Shade Room? About it? I love you know, I 1558 01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:08,160 Speaker 1: love Angie, So it's not her. It's just that platform 1559 01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,960 Speaker 1: and the demographic there. Don't really fuck with me. They 1560 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,000 Speaker 1: should know emanate from really rap blogs, you know what 1561 01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,240 Speaker 1: I mean Again, I mean, granted it's a bigger blog, 1562 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,479 Speaker 1: but like that audience don't really fuck with me. If 1563 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,840 Speaker 1: they liked me, it would be very different. There are 1564 01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,640 Speaker 1: certain artists I see make mistakes that people like it. 1565 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:25,320 Speaker 1: They'll be like, oh, he ain't mean it like that. 1566 01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 1: But when they'll like you, oh hell now, he definitely 1567 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,599 Speaker 1: meant to that fact. Have you had time to really 1568 01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,840 Speaker 1: reflect on your comments in regards to the old the 1569 01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:35,519 Speaker 1: Pioneers and hip hop like, have you had time to 1570 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:37,560 Speaker 1: reflect on it and say, Okay, maybe I shouldn't have 1571 01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,559 Speaker 1: said the word dusty, or maybe, you know, maybe maybe 1572 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 1: I should have just said, hey, financially, how come they 1573 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 1: aren't doing as good as they should be because they 1574 01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 1: invented hip hop? I mean yes, And again, first of all, 1575 01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,760 Speaker 1: I knew this point the bigger context was never gonna 1576 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 1: be taken seriously. If I knew it was gonna be 1577 01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:00,760 Speaker 1: even amplified to that, to that reach, yes I would 1578 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:04,280 Speaker 1: have not said that to hopefully let's have the conversation. 1579 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,479 Speaker 1: But granted we just all agreed they don't want to 1580 01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 1: talk about it, but you know how you can make 1581 01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 1: them have the conversation. Apologize for calling them Jesse and say, 1582 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I used the bad choice of words. 1583 01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 1: Hold on, But but here's the thing. I can't apologize 1584 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,360 Speaker 1: or something I didn't do, like I didn't call all 1585 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,679 Speaker 1: of them? Does it? Everybody who was responded you said 1586 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,960 Speaker 1: what I said earlier. I agree with LLL one hundred percent, 1587 01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,479 Speaker 1: except eighty percent of when he was talking about wasn't 1588 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:29,800 Speaker 1: to me because I say it. I never said that 1589 01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:35,160 Speaker 1: your UM money could be equatable to your hip hop 1590 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,720 Speaker 1: contributions in the past were you were you left it 1591 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,920 Speaker 1: broad because you didn't name a name. So mean you 1592 01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,519 Speaker 1: didn't name a name, you can only think you're generalizing. Well, 1593 01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,280 Speaker 1: that's what I represent because usually I love calling names. 1594 01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:46,800 Speaker 1: I should have just called that dude name, but I 1595 01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 1: didn't think my olders was even gonna to do so. 1596 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 1: But now everybody don't responded. I don't want to now 1597 01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 1: go back and point Blake, I was talking to that 1598 01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,680 Speaker 1: nigga right there. Body didn't due responded to the one 1599 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:04,160 Speaker 1: person you was talking about. Wow, interest interested? So I mean, 1600 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,799 Speaker 1: that is a bigger conversation. By the way, when he responded, 1601 01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 1: he kind of almost agreed that he was let me 1602 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:10,960 Speaker 1: just keep it going. But the bigger conversation is how 1603 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 1: can we help you know the founding fathers? And I 1604 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:18,080 Speaker 1: think people just people just want you to respect the 1605 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 1: culture that you eat off. Okay, that's a good one. 1606 01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:30,000 Speaker 1: What legitimately besides that comment, do people believe that shows 1607 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:36,000 Speaker 1: lack of respect of the culture or even historically um 1608 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 1: rappers who came before, Like that's what I'm trying to say, 1609 01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:44,000 Speaker 1: Like they're using two words to kind of you paint 1610 01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:48,000 Speaker 1: a large brush on everything I've done, you know what 1611 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:49,559 Speaker 1: I mean? Well, if you but if if they if 1612 01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:51,720 Speaker 1: they have, if they haven't been paying attention to the 1613 01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 1: whole totality of you and all the different things you 1614 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,960 Speaker 1: might have done or have done, then they only see 1615 01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:01,960 Speaker 1: that one thing. Who is this? You know? And that's 1616 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,680 Speaker 1: and that's where it comes down to this, right, So like, um, 1617 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:09,120 Speaker 1: you know, but they're not gonna give you a chance 1618 01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:12,000 Speaker 1: because it's already we're in mob cultures, cancer culture. So 1619 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:14,640 Speaker 1: or is anybody gonna look up? Does he have other 1620 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 1: comments disrespecting all of the old rappers? What has he 1621 01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,240 Speaker 1: said about them before? What has he said about you know, 1622 01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 1: the pioneers? What has he said about people who were 1623 01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 1: popping in the eighties and nineties? Okay, he grew up 1624 01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 1: on most of these niggas into two thousands. What has 1625 01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: he said about all these people? Is he one of 1626 01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,000 Speaker 1: the dudes who are just ignorant, who only likes the 1627 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,559 Speaker 1: under twenty five year old rap music and thinks everybody 1628 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 1: else is trash? Has he only judged rappers because of money? 1629 01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,680 Speaker 1: Did anybody go to look that up? Or was it 1630 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:52,559 Speaker 1: a good way to galvanize? And actually that's the only 1631 01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:54,680 Speaker 1: thing I was proud about. I think everybody was on 1632 01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:56,640 Speaker 1: the same page, even though it was against me. And 1633 01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 1: sometimes if you think about back in history and by 1634 01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 1: the maybe I shouldn't even sa this, but I was 1635 01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,160 Speaker 1: not saying I was just like in history, the worst 1636 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:11,439 Speaker 1: events that bring people together are usually scapegolden one one particular, 1637 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:15,160 Speaker 1: one particular subset of people, or one person. Everybody would 1638 01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 1: get on board. Oh that's the bad guy. Get that motherfucker. 1639 01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,680 Speaker 1: So again, I was like, I was happy when I 1640 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:25,080 Speaker 1: seen everybody. Everybody was chiming in. Certain people I thought 1641 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 1: should should have set it set it out though, like 1642 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:28,880 Speaker 1: Russell should have set it out like he was. Come on, 1643 01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,639 Speaker 1: so you're down to have the conversation with the lls, 1644 01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:35,560 Speaker 1: the TI I mean, I think after thing, people don't understand, like, 1645 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 1: you're not a bad guy. You know, I've been knowing 1646 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,560 Speaker 1: you for a long time. You actually a student of 1647 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,240 Speaker 1: the game, you know what I mean. And I think, 1648 01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 1: just like any of us, you can get caught up 1649 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,120 Speaker 1: in the performance of it all sometime, you know what 1650 01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,000 Speaker 1: I mean, But you got it. You gotta deal with 1651 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 1: the consequences those actions, Like I always tell you, it's 1652 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:54,200 Speaker 1: going to come at some point, we've all gotten punched 1653 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,040 Speaker 1: in the face. You know what I mean, I don't 1654 01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 1: think it's worth it in the long run. I don't no, no, no, no, no, 1655 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 1: of course it's never worth it. Right. What I mean 1656 01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 1: worth it is like this is just hip hop, and 1657 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 1: the same way everybody running arond saying it's the most 1658 01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,320 Speaker 1: dangerous job in the world, which it's not, but still 1659 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:17,800 Speaker 1: everybody running around saying that if you believe that, you 1660 01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,559 Speaker 1: you must know when you pick up a mic, you're 1661 01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 1: you might die. Right. So so so here's the thing. 1662 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: When I also pick up a mic to give my comments, 1663 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,360 Speaker 1: I understand it might get that serious too. You gotta 1664 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,760 Speaker 1: take that. If we're calling it a most dangerous job 1665 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 1: in history, right, it could go any way at any time, 1666 01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:41,280 Speaker 1: based based off how you choose to communicate. Because the 1667 01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,080 Speaker 1: way we're communicating, now that's not being that communicate all 1668 01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 1: the time, but you don't communicate it. You don't sound 1669 01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,320 Speaker 1: like it's on twitch. Yeah, because I'm giving a soliloquy, 1670 01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,479 Speaker 1: and a soliloquy like if I was talking Montone, I'm 1671 01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:55,000 Speaker 1: falseive too, that's falsey what I'm talking. So I'm a 1672 01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,560 Speaker 1: performative on everything, not what I mean performative is that 1673 01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:02,719 Speaker 1: I'm theatrical when I'm when I'm talking, I'm you're entertaining. 1674 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:07,559 Speaker 1: And also, what I've realized in hip hop, people think 1675 01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:11,400 Speaker 1: that speaking with confidence means you're aggressive. Like I'll be 1676 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,240 Speaker 1: speaking about a point that I am very confident about 1677 01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,280 Speaker 1: making it be like, Yo, why are you talking tough 1678 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 1: like this? Like what do you say this in person? 1679 01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, now I'm having a conversation with you, 1680 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,960 Speaker 1: and if we're inside, I'm talking to millions of people 1681 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:26,640 Speaker 1: through a mic in the screen. Who knows who the 1682 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,000 Speaker 1: fuck is listening right now? If I'm talking to you, 1683 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,599 Speaker 1: why would I need to shout right here? And also 1684 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:34,160 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you that you could be 1685 01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,320 Speaker 1: able to listen and then be able to understand and 1686 01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:39,120 Speaker 1: respond and vice versa. I guess what my thing is like, 1687 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,320 Speaker 1: I like all of these conversations, but let's not make 1688 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: them about one individual. Let's make them about coaches. Let's 1689 01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:47,760 Speaker 1: get them up here, because I think sometimes when you 1690 01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,519 Speaker 1: hear somebody's side and what they're talking about, it opens 1691 01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 1: it up. And I guarantee from this interview, people are 1692 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,800 Speaker 1: like you more because they're not hearing the clips that 1693 01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 1: they're hearing on the blog sites and the clips that 1694 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,080 Speaker 1: they're hearing on these sites that only a thirty second clip, 1695 01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 1: and you had a seven hour conversation, And how do 1696 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,920 Speaker 1: we know this? This this in a lot of ways, 1697 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,120 Speaker 1: this is the hate that hate produces. You know what 1698 01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:11,519 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you the Frankenstein monster of a of a 1699 01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 1: lot of hip hop. Because if I come at you 1700 01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,880 Speaker 1: for you know, why you call this woman a b 1701 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,080 Speaker 1: words like I gotta turn the mirror on myself too, 1702 01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:19,800 Speaker 1: why I've been doing it for so long? If I 1703 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,840 Speaker 1: come at you because you know you called rappers old 1704 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 1: and dusty, it's like, damn, when I was young, I 1705 01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,320 Speaker 1: was disrespecting the old, older generation too. But also more importantly, 1706 01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,920 Speaker 1: what can we do for the founding fathers of hip hop? 1707 01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:31,640 Speaker 1: You know, so they aren't like that. What can we 1708 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,280 Speaker 1: do to where more people are respecting women? When when 1709 01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 1: when we have these conversations. By the way, I kind 1710 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,960 Speaker 1: of also, you know, to sum it up, I feel like, 1711 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, hip hop always needs a villain. And I 1712 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,439 Speaker 1: think because you know, six nine is where he used 1713 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:46,000 Speaker 1: to be in this career. It's kind of like CNN 1714 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump, Donal Trump not an office no more. 1715 01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:50,400 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan the bad guy, you know what I mean. 1716 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 1: It's like I'm in line to be one of those guys, 1717 01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,040 Speaker 1: and you know I could. You know, I wasn't even 1718 01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,240 Speaker 1: telling my brother yesterday. I was just like I could 1719 01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:02,479 Speaker 1: watch every word I'm saying. If they want to take 1720 01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 1: something out of context, absolute, they went back ten years 1721 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,800 Speaker 1: to show them something randomly, you know what I mean, 1722 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:11,120 Speaker 1: they went back ten years. So trust me, I know. Yeah, 1723 01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,240 Speaker 1: come on, you know he goes you know, I know 1724 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,280 Speaker 1: he knows.
