1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Every day I drive past McDonald's, an old National to

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: go to work, whether I'm being driven in my escalator

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: or my cyber truck is driving me, it's a surreal

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: moment every fucking day.

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: I used to work there. Now here's a crazy part, y'all.

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: When you think that, you'd be thinking, like, yeah, I

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: came far, But the only far really went was mentally.

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: That's the part that nobody acknowledges, Like, I didn't go far.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: I went mentally far. I just said, it's more for me.

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: It's more for me. I'm gonna do more. I'm gonna

11
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: go out the more, I'm gonna be more, and that's all.

12
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: And I became more. It's that simple. So for me,

13
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: it's like, if I can, I'm average as fuck, Why

14
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: can't any of y'all Because y'all are just not going

Speaker 4: We can talk about music and all this other stuff,

115
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: but I want to have a We're gonna we're gonna

116
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: pivot this thing and kind of continue the conversation.

117
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: I told you anything you want to talk about, Let's

118
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: go pray.

119
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: Tell these people, man, this ship is hard, like building

120
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: something from scratch. I think again, a lot of times

121
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: people see the viral clips, they see you know what

122
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

123
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: They see the I would say, they see the highlights.

124
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: Social media is great at showing you all the highlights,

125
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 4: but it doesn't show you all the work. It doesn't

126
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: show you all the long hours, It doesn't show you

127
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: all the calls, the meetings and all that kind of stuff.

128
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 4: Like Ray, with everything you've accomplished and all the amazing

129
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 4: stuff you've built with the God showing this whole Ray

130
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: Daniels presents like, what's the thing you're most appreciative of

131
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 4: right now in this moment.

132
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: The air in my lungs. I think perspective is everything

133
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: to win in life. If you can't appreciate something and

134
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: be grateful for something, then usually you mess that opportunity up.

135
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: And the simplest thing to be appreciative and.

136
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: Grateful for is life.

137
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: If you are an appreciate for life, you ain't gonna

138
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: get Like, no, I wake up and give life my best,

139
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: like I don't want life to say, oh yeah.

140
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: It's time to take his no no, no no, Like

141
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: I like this, I'm gonna keep working. I got it,

142
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: you know. So I'm in an amazing mood. I'm in

143
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: an amazing space.

144
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: I think it's becoming loud and clear what the world

145
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: is and I feel like I finally, over the last

146
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: maybe like two weeks, have found I want to say,

147
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: my calling, my direction, my knee. Music is very hard

148
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: to like monetize because music is filled with broke people

149
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: who's trying to make.

150
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: Some money from it, you know, I mean, you know,

151
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: so when they it is right, y'all see what I'm saying.

152
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: So when you start, like start trying to do things

153
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: and trying to make money off people in the music business,

154
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: it becomes it doesn't feel good to me. I know

155
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: that sounds crazy, but I just I was once a

156
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: struggling artist, So I feel crazy taking a dollar from

157
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: a struggling artist because I know I was once won.

158
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: So I was just trying to figure out what I

159
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: wanted to sell. And I think I figured that out.

160
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: I actually no, I didn't. I'm just excited. Man, Like

161
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm one of the people where I like

162
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: finding reasons to like. I like waking up in the morning,

163
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: but I love learning like I'm like in my life.

164
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't leave a minute, a cent, nothing on the

165
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: floor like I'm going for it.

166
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: So I just love that.

167
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: Man.

168
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: I just love the opportunity to wake up in the morning,

169
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: go for it, and to answer you a question about

170
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: it not being easy. The hardest part about.

171
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: This shit is smiling when you're struggling. But who gives

172
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: a fuck if you're struggling when I'm struggling too, so stop.

173
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: So as hard as it is, it's like, you gotta

174
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: look like it's together. You gotta look like you're not stressing.

175
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: You gotta look like you know where you're going in life.

176
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: You gotta come in room smiling. You gotta look like, yeah,

177
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: I might not have no money to pay my rent

178
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: right now, but I can't come in that room looking

179
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: like I ain't got no money paying my rent, because

180
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: when they through business with me, they're gonna treat me

181
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: like a nigga ain't got money pay his rent. So

182
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: I got to come in and looking like I'm up

183
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: to something, but also knowing I don't. It's a really

184
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: it's almost like you gotta believe it in your head

185
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: first and walk it out at the best way you

186
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: know how and almost watch the world follow. And that's

187
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: kind of what my life has been like, Like I

188
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to be up here talking like

189
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm a music guy like I go. I think has

190
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: been always behind the scenes. And once I started realizing

191
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: where the world was going, I was like, if I

192
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: don't speak, if I don't become the brand, I'm always

193
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: giving someone else more power over me because I'll make

194
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: them the brand. So for me, once I figured that out,

195
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: like if you look at all the big companies growing,

196
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: it's even like butter Atl. We've been seeing butter Atl

197
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: for how many years? Everywhere Brandon, I realized I got

198
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: to step out. I got to show people who to

199
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: face a butter At. I got to show them the

200
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: why of that. So I knew the way the world

201
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: was going, and I put myself out there still hoping

202
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: that I would get another job. That was the only

203
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: thing I wanted. My last situation, they did me dirty,

204
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm that nigga. So I was like,

205
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: put a camera on me, I'm asked me some questions

206
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: about music and a label is gonna see me on

207
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Instagram and be like, man, look at Ray Ray's doing.

208
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 2: Why we even think about him? Let's call him? And

209
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: it happened. But it was like they were so I

210
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: guess I was so excited about it that I think.

211
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes it's like you tell a girl I

212
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: want to take you out, She's like me, really, hell y,

213
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: Let's go like, damn, bitch, what's wrong with you?

214
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: Like why the fuck going on with you? Why you

215
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: so excited to go on the day with me? So

216
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: I knew.

217
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: I was like cause I really wanted to be back in,

218
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: but I just got to this place where I'm like, man,

219
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm so happy on the outside. I am a free nigga.

220
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: I say that with so much love and passion. I

221
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: am a free black man.

222
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: No one owns me.

223
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing I can say right now on this stage

224
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: that makes someone say fire him from his job, because

225
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: I know the only person I ever that is what's

226
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: Taran And he can say craziest shit to me. So shit,

227
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: we all locked in. You know, I ain't lying, toront

228
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: be saying craziest shit to me. So I'm a free man.

229
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: And once you start, as you start asking for opportunity.

230
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: What you don't realize you're doing is you're giving up

231
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: a little bit of your freedom every time you ask

232
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: somebody for an opportunity. You give up a little bit

233
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: of yourself every time you ask somebody for opportunity. And

234
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: then you got to ask yourself, what am I telling

235
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: the world by asking for an opportunity? Pretty girls do

236
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: not walk in clubs and ask to get in sections.

237
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: Pretty girls who not walking bars and asking you buy

238
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: me a drink. That shit happens. And if no one's

239
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: not offering you by your drink, and you might want

240
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: to go look at how you present yourself because these

241
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: niggas is shricking right. So for me, if I got

242
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: to go out here and really ask somebody to fuck

243
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: with me, I'm like, what did I say it about me?

244
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Like I believe if I'm not nigga, then I susted

245
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: still while I'm at and let the world come to me.

246
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: And that's kind of why I'm at right now. And

247
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: I'm liking that shit.

248
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: So it's a good feeling, you know what I'm saying.

249
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: It's a good feeling to be on the other side.

250
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 4: I think a lot of times, you know, one thing

251
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 4: I always say is the hard part is making it

252
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: look easy. You know, true mastery looks effortless. Like you

253
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: watch people, it's always funny, right, Like people watch the

254
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 4: NBA and they be like, man, they suck they on

255
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 4: the bench. Let me tell you something, bro, the last

256
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 4: player on the bench in the NBA would dust any

257
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: single person in this room with zero effort. I'm talking

258
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: about in jeans and Tim's and making it look easy, right,

259
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: But we see it on TV and it looks so easy,

260
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: looks so effortless. But that's because they've mastered their craft.

261
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: My question for you is, I went back and I

262
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: looked at God Show episode number one. Oh shit, okay,

263
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: August twenty twenty two, Like, what were you thinking in

264
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 4: that moment when you first started doing this almost two

265
00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 4: years ago?

266
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: You in tears?

267
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: Yes, damn you really.

268
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: The first thing I say is is don't allow not

269
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: knowing what to do to stop you from doing something.

270
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are so worried about

271
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: how does it look, how to do it right, and

272
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: it's like sometimes you got to just throw a camera

273
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: in your face and say, let'soo the fucking podcast right

274
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,600

Speaker 1: rather keep working because I know what I know where

311
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: to do that. So yeah, my biggest problem is I

312
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't eat, man, Like, I'm hungry

313
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: as hell right now. I just, by the way, I

314
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: just finished doing big Fast podcasts for I ate this

315
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: much of the fish.

316
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 2: They gave me literally that much, and I was like,

317
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 2: I'm full. Let me just get ready for bud Atls.

318
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, and I'll eat after this. I'll figure out

319
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: what I want to eat and maybe everything clothes.

320
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: But you know, at least the work is starting, like

321
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: you know what it is though, like I feel like

322
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: a lot of us, like especially black men, like I

323
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: want black men to start stepping up themselves for themselves,

324
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: like like not seriously, no, no, no, no, I don't

325
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: want no class for this. Because this I'm talking to

326
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: my people, my niggas right now, and I need them

327
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: to hear me. We got to start doing better for

328
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: our family, for our loved ones and showing the example.

329
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: Like y'all don't understand. I look up to this guy

330
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: right this because I see a man. When I see

331
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: a man that like, I literally I was just telling

332
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: him in the room. I'm like, Nigga, how do you

333
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: do anything by yourself like that? If I'm a one man,

334
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, nig I wish I'll be having fifty people

335
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: around me, and I feel I ain't getting nothing accomplished,

336
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: and you got one by yourself, but you're just killing it.

337
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: So I look up to this brother, but I'm not

338
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: afraid to say that. I celebrate them. But we need

339
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: to start getting black men. We know what the world's

340
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: going to look like for the next four years. I'm

341
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: talking to the black men in the room. We know

342
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: how our women feel. We know America is gonna learn

343
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: about black women the next four years because when y'all

344
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: don't fuck with us, when y'all don't fuck with something,

345
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: oh nigga, it's a rap. I mean, it could be

346
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: a war going on and black girls. But I told

347
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: y'all stupid assets. Tell a man they black men don't

348
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: help them sit down?

349
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: What we gonna do.

350
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: We gotta sit down now. So I think we know

351
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: where the world is going. It's gonna be four years

352
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: of us wanting to be seen or want to be respected.

353
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: And I think this is not a fight that black

354
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: women should have to fight. It's a fight for black men,

355
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: and it's not a physical fight. It's a mental fight.

356
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: What are you willing to do for your family? Because

357
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: they gonna test us. It gotta have a stomach to

358
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: do this shit. You know I ain't lying. You gotta

359
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: have a stomach to do this shit. I just want

360
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: more of us to step up and be better to

361
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: the women in this world because black women are running

362
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: circles around us because they're not afraid to try. And meanwhile,

363
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: we're just trying to get masks from them when we

364
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: could really be their partners to help build them up

365
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: and everything.

366
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: We gotta grow the fuck up. I'm just being honest

367
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: with you. I'm just being honest.

368
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: Based on that, then then what's the while, Like again,

369
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: you have you have the look, you got the man look.

370
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: You don't need to be doing no podcast, bro.

371
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: You got Dame Dash pulling up to the office, you

372
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: got an ll cool J pulling up, you got.

373
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: You know, just got the Songwriter of the Year Grammy

374
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: with sports Ronnie.

375
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 4: I mean, there's so many opportunities you have that you

376
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 4: could be focusing on music full time. Yet you choose

377
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 4: to go out here and share your knowledge and share

378
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 4: your wisdom and bring this stuff to the world. Like

379
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 4: why do you prioritize that versus what you could be doing,

380
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 4: which is going somewhere and collecting millions of dollars making music.

381
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: Because I'm lucky. I'm lucky.

382
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: I remember, man, my mother would be driving school buses

383
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: right now if it wasn't for me. Like I don't

384
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: know what my sister life would be like if I

385
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: wasn't here. I don't know what life would be like.

386
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: And it's where like I gat it. My son turned

387
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: sixteen last month, and then a car and a party,

388
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: and I told you what I was dealing with, Like

389
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. Like, so my fam my kid know,

390
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: Like I tell my son, like, yo, daddy stress, you

391
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: know that everybody be cool, but they don't understand like

392
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: daddy pays for the whole world. So my son tells

393
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: me he was like, Dad, I know you're gonna buy

394
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: me a car, but you don't have to throw me

395
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: a party.

396
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: Dad.

397
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: Like just I'm like, let me tell you something I

398
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: said when you were one. When you were when you

399
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: were born, I knew you was gonna turn sixteen one day,

400
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: and I was gonna buy you a car and throw party.

401
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: The shit I'm stressed out about it ain't got nothing

402
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: to do with you. I've been prepared for that shit.

403
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: This is a mother shit, right, So for me, is

404
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: very important that we handle our business and provide for

405
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: our family because the leeway we get them, that's the

406
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: only Black people don't get over the hump, right, And

407
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: we gotta be better men to our women. Like anytime

408
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: I see a woman at the bus stop, that shit

409
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: bothers me because like, what man failed her? Anytime I

410
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: see a woman struggling baby mamas, I'm like, what man

411
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: failed her?

412
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: Nigga?

413
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: Let me tell you us. I remember running for martyr

414
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: at nineteen with my girlfriend who was nineteen. It was me,

415
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: her and a mother. I'll never forget. We ran up

416
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: old National and I was youngest. I caught the bus

417
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: and then I made the bus wait like thirty seconds,

418
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and two minutes for her mother. And I

419
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: remember getting on the bus and I remember thinking, this

420
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: is knocking be my mother fucking life. This is not

421
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna be my life, running for no fucking martyr bus.

422
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be my life. And you got and

423
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: I made the sacrifice to be here. But it's because

424
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: but everybody in my life they didn't know that. So

425
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: as a black man, like sometimes I'm like, man, I

426
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: take pride in seeing my mom not working, like not

427
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: having to ever work on my sister not having to

428
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: take her husband's shit or or say you can go

429
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: shit my mother. You know what I'm saying, Like, I

430
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: take pride in that, and as a man, the gift

431
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: that we should be able to give our families to

432
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: make them feel like they walking on our shoulders because

433
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: they are. Some of them just don't look tall because

434
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: we ain't fucking trying to do what's right by them.

435
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm just that's my mission in twenty twenty five. My

436
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: only thing is I'm talking to black men about how

437
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: to be better than not just black women, but women

438
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: in general, Like we gotta learn to be better, We

439
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: gotta love y'all better, take care of y'all, and it's

440
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: really killing our egos.

441
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: And you know, don't get me wrong. Once we do

442
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: our part, y'all gotta do y'alls all.

443
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: We probably the only thing I think we probably gonna

444
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: ask is don't yell, let me be gentle, don't curse

445
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: at me.

446
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 2: That's really because that's really what it is. Like that's

447
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey. Shit. He's talking about she right.

448
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: No the fuck she ain't my nigga, Stop telling like,

449
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: stop telling men like she's right. I want men to

450
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: be happy also, I want to push us to like

451
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: take care of our families and work and dog.

452
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: Nothing makes me.

453
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: Happier when I get a check taking that shit home here,

454
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't even care about the money. That's real, Like

455
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: you give me a one be I can live in

456
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: my condo for the rest of my life. That shit

457
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: is nicest fuck and it's good for me. All the

458
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: housing car that's for them. So I'm big on that man.

459
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: Taking care of our family. So y'all see a lot

460
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: more of that for me talking to black men about

461
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: being better. We got to be better accountable. Partis toad

462
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: the black women in our community, and that's not and

463
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: by the way, that's not me kissing no ass I

464
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: really live by this shit like I live by this shit.

465
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: I take care of every woman like like Chastity. Now

466
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: to put you on black chassis. Moved to Atlanta to

467
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: work for me. And by the way, I love Chassity.

468
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: This motherfucker was walking to work and in Atlanta we

469
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: don't walk to work, so she never told me she

470
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: moved Hell and she was walking to work every day day. Yes, yeah,

471
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: So one day I called it. I was like, Chance,

472
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: where are you at? Because they said, she don't want

473
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: you to know. Why don't she want me to know?

474
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: Think about how powerful that is. She don't want you

475
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: to know because as soon as I found out, I

476
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: bought a car. The next day, they're gonna be fucking

477
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: walking and you working. You I look like as a man.

478
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: She was like, Ray, I don't mind. I don't give

479
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: a fuck. If you don't mind, wouldn't go walk for fun?

480
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: But you not walking to work? It's just not gonna happen.

481
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be in my life or walk to work.

482
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just not dealing with that.

483
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: No.

484
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: Look, it's about options.

485
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 4: And you know we were talking in the back, like

486
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: I said, I just I was sharing a book with

487
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 4: you that I read called Ego is the Enemy. And

488
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: I think there's so many things that we do from

489
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 4: just an egotistical standpoint because we don't want people to

490
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 4: know that we're struggling, whether it's with work, whether it's

491
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 4: with you know, personal issues we got going on, and

492
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 4: we got to get out here and show our best

493
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 4: foots in the world. But like, I really need you

494
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: all to understand, like this stuff is hard, you know

495
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: what I mean. Like again, like when you're building something

496
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 4: brick by brick, you don't know how it's gonna work out,

497
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 4: You don't know you know where the next check is

498
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 4: gonna come from.

499
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 3: You got people that depend on you, like people like this.

500
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 4: Atlanta is really an interesting place because we've put entrepreneurship

501
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 4: on a pedestal.

502
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna tell y'all straight up, I know a

503
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: lot of stressed out ass.

504
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 4: Entrepreneurs man that'll take a day job right now if

505
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 4: you offer it to them, Nah, And I think it's crazy.

506
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 4: We don't talk about that now. And look, and I

507
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 4: understand that entrepreneurship is a path to wealth, absolutely, but

508
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 4: we don't talk about the stress that it puts on people.

509
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 4: We don't talk about the need that you have to

510
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 4: have the therapy that you're paying for to be able

511
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: to sit here and do these things. We don't talk

512
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 4: about you sitting up at night. I tell a story

513
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: all the time when I when I talk about entrepreneurship.

514
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 4: I used to have a chain of web design stores

515
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 4: and malls.

516
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: I had a lot of lives.

517
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 4: But I don't know, if let's go. You know, I

518
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 4: used to be I was a software as year in

519
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: a former life, right, you know what I'm saying. So

520
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 4: I actually put brick and mortar web design stores in malls.

521
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 4: It was called the Website Shop. I had to suit

522
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 4: Black Enterprise for that. That's a whole different conversation. But

523
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 4: like I remember, there was literally a time where one time,

524
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 4: you know, I had payroll coming up. It was like Tuesday, Wednesday,

525
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: payroll was due on Friday. I had a full time

526
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 4: staff and I didn't have the money, and so I

527
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: never forget. I pulled up to the title pond spot.

528
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 4: It was on a Pea Stree industrial right across from

529
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 4: the Chick fil A over there, and I had my

530
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 4: old I had a two thousand.

531
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: Accura in ril.

532
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: I loved that car man. It was black on black,

533
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: it was so nice. I had a sixty CD changer

534
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 4: in the trunk. You know what I'm saying. I loved

535
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 4: that car.

536
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Man.

537
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: I pulled up and I sat in the parking line,

538
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 4: and I looked and I was like, the only one

539
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 4: to make payroll is if I tit upon my car.

540
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 4: And I sat there in the parking lote for like

541
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 4: five ten minutes, and I said, you know what, fuck it,

542
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go back.

543
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: I'm a figure it.

544
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 4: And I backed out and I drove back, and that

545
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 4: same day some business came in and I was able

546
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 4: to basically pay the rest of my staff and lived

547
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 4: another weekend. I remember sitting up that night looking at

00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you guys a story. I remember this

553
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: about two weeks ago. I ain't gonna lie y'all when

554
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: I go home on That's one thing I say, Like,

555
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: I got so much respect for entrepreneurs because when I

556
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: go home at night, you know you you give me

557
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: at your best every day, but once you go at home,

558
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: it's nothing you can really do besides sit with yourself, right,

559
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, dog, I've been having insomnia

560
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: for months, Like I can't sleep because it keeps you

561
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: up at night. And I started doing this thing y'all

562
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: that I that I started doing, and it it's kind

563
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: of like I can't believe I'm saying this out loud,

564
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: but like, I have this thing I do at night.

565
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: I always say, what do you tell the world with

566
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: everything you do? Like that's another thing we do. I

567
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: think we'd be so worried about people seeing us.

568
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: It's like, do you see you?

569
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: And if you see you, that should be enough, right.

570
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: So I remember saying to myself, like what am I

571
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: telling the like? Like what am I telling the world?

572
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,800

00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: may payroll this is like two weeks ago. Then I

574
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: had to ask myself, why do you need a payroll.

575
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: Then I'm like, what do you even do you even

00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: know what you said? Do you even know what you're doing?

00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: It's like, no, you just that nigga that got money,

Speaker 1: believe God was trying to tell me was stop hesitate,

619
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: just go forward, like and in our world, and then

620
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: and then and and have a life call. I have

621
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: an execut coach. And when she helped me understand was

622
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: she said, it's gonna be hard for you this time

623
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: around because you're already made the bet. You made the

624
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: better you won, and you knew how hard it was

625
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: to make that better you and you treat the bet

626
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: like I ain't never gonna fuck this up because I know.

627
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: I remember me and Tron sitting and Timothy sitting at

628
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Saint Kroix saying, man, would you imagine what it be

629
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: like to have like sixty thousand dollars in the bank,

630
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: And were like, man, we've except at seven o'clock in

631
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: the morning, and now I get now my my overhead

632
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: is seventy thousand a month. You started looking at it like,

633
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: what the fuck am I doing?

634
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: Now? It's not the clock point. I'm stressed, I said, y'all,

635
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: there's nothing to clap about. I am stressed. But my

636
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: point I'm trying to tell y'all is this is that

637
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: is that you have to be able to stomach it.

638
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: And I feel like we all want It's like we

639
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: want God to show us something, but he's almighty. Why

640
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: we want him to show us something. He created, the earth,

641
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: he created all this shit, I should be showing him something.

642
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: And when I figure that out, I just like, I'm

643
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: so committed to leading my fucking people, because this is

644
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: the hardest time of my life, y'all.

645
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: No money.

646
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: You's talking about like eighty thousand dollars bills every month,

647
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: Like God damn.

648
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: When I say that shit out loud, I'm like, how

649
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: the fuck are you surviving? Nigga? I'm like, I don't know, help,

650
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: but guess what. That's what a man does.

651
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: A man gets above his ass every day and he

652
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: does what he needs to do for his family, not

653
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: knowing what's their return, and not worrying about his family

654
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: giving him a pattern the fucking back or telling him

655
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: they happy or appreciative. That's not what it's about. It's

656
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: about doing what you're supposed to do because you were

657
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: born to do that. You worried about the other shit.

658
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: So when we let me hear a nigga talbot what

Speaker 1: It's about make It's like man, I love seeing my

00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: She's the most confident little brown skinned black girl I

00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,800

Speaker 2: In my ship like I'm sorry, let me stop talking.

00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 4: Go ahead, no, no, look man, look you built that

682
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: thing is funny man, Like you know, I don't talk

683
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 4: about this a lot, but my my, my, my godmother

684
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 4: is Angela.

685
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: Wimbush I love the dough. Yeah, yeah, well you know,

686
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 3: and you know Renee More as my godfather. You know

687
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So I grew up around I grew

688
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 3: up in a music business, you know what I'm saying.

689
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 4: Like I've seen it, and so I understand kind of

690
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 4: what the overhead angle is. Like I remember talking to

691
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 4: him and being like, Yo, my overhead is fifty k

692
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 4: a month. And this was ten years ago. So I

693
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 4: don't even know what gets hired now, right, and again,

694
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 4: people don't understand what it takes to kind of go

695
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 4: out here and build these things. But more importantly, you know,

696
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 4: you're building this thing and you're kind of creating your

697
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 4: own blueprint.

698
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 3: Right, Like again, this media space is crazy.

699
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 4: You know again, like you won the music game, you

700
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying from an A and R standpoint,

701
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 4: from a music standpoint, but now you're going down a

702
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 4: totally different path. And you're going down this path, as

703
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 4: I always say, kind of like with a machete in

704
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 4: the woods, like figuring this thing out. Like you and

705
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 4: I have had multiple conversations about that, Like what made

706
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 4: you decide it was time to put that down and

707
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: say I want to I want to have a new challenge,

708
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 4: because most people in your position would just be like, Yo,

709
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 4: I'm good man, I'm gonna sit over here and I'm

710
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: just gonna piss off the folks that come to you know,

711
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: door dash every day.

712
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: No, well, my life was really fucking good until I

713
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: wrote this letter and then.

714
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: Like Jerry macquire, yeah, no, it owns God. That's my

715
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: favorite movie. Let me my favorite movie. All If anybody.

716
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: Follows me, go back to when Tehran, if you could

717
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: find it to anybody, go back to when Tehran. Want

718
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: to grab me on my page, go looking When I

719
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: posted I posted Jerry maguire behind it. That was my

720
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: Jerry McGuire moment, because all I did was write a

721
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: letter to inform people on what it's like to be black.

722
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: But when you're getting pissed them, it's like if a

723
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: woman came here and said what it's like to be

724
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: a woman, I wouldn't feel offended by that. Tell me

725
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: how what you deal with as a woman, so I

726
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: could be better than you. And when I told them

727
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: what it was like to be a black person, they

728
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: turned on me. So at that moment it was like

729
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: now I'm in the outside, I'm like, damn, like damn

730
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: just because I said, like shit, you know, and by

731
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: the way, I'm the best guy over there.

732
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: That's why I ain't. None of them niggas had a

733
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: hit since me.

734
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't mind clap for that shit. I don't say

735
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: fuck y'all got sis. But but but my thing is

736
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: is that so once that happened, I was I didn't

737
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: have a choice. It was kind of like like I

738
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: was a I was a clear black man. That's how

739
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: I like to describe myself. You're gonna understand something right now,

740
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: Right now, at this very moment, you go to Billboard

741
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: dot com and go to the Global two hundred. The

742
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: number one song on that is US, not the number two,

743
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: not the number three, the number one song in the world.

744
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: It's US.

745
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: Nobody can fuck with me at this shit.

746
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna take your shit, and I don't

747
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: mind helping y'all as long as I can help my people. Now,

748
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: that's where the conflict came in. They didn't want me

749
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 1: to help my people. That's when it's like, well, damn, Ray,

750
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: who are you? You wanna be that nigga that make

00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: Your people struggling on you could did somemer.

753
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna be the nigga to speak up, and the

754
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: way my life is set up, I can't be quiet,

755
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: especially when I see people that look like me suffering

756
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: or not knowing what the fuck they need to do

757
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: to win, or knowing that they hiding the answers from y'

758
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: all over there.

759
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: I'm the nigga say the answer is over there. That's me, bro.

760
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: I want to make sure that I want to make

761
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: sure we win.

762
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: I always say I'm the most I'm the greatest average

763
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: man to ever live. That's how to describe myself. Like

764
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: nothing about me is super I'm not six feet there.

765
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: It's nothing about me that's great. But I've accepted who

766
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: I am and I just go harbor who I am,

767
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: and I'm doing great shit so if I can do it.

768
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: My own mother told me I want shit like not

769
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: being funny. My mother told me you ain't shit what

00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna do with yourself? And I didn't get mad

771
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: at her because my mother told her the same thing.

772
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: I had to break the cycle. I ain't know what

773
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: imagine me telling my kids you ain't shit. That's me

774
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: telling that to Miyoka, you ain't shit. Like I tell

775
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: my kids, they're the greatest thing to ever happen to earth,

776
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: because if they don't believe that, they gonna be ain't shit.

777
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: And now I was faced with that moment. My father

778
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: died March third, two thousand and two, on Delta, calls

779
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: me back to work. I'm driving to Delta, and your

780
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: father dying changes you because my father was the nicest

781
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: man I ever met my life, and he was so nice.

782
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: And my father died and my mother told me go

783
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: back to Delta. I remember asking myself if Bill Cosy

784
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: was my father, what I had to go back to Delta.

785
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: That's when it started hitting you, like how the world

786
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: was set up for you, like damn.

787
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: So my father was on drugs and because my mother

788
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: we on wealth, I'm making sixty thousand dollars a year

789
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: and ten years is a win for me.

790
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: Nigga. Please, nobody tells me what the fuck I do,

791
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: but me.

792
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: I quit Delta that day and I made more money

793
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: this year than if I would work every minute that

794
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: Delta from then to now, and factoring in the increases

795
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: and we I still got three more weeks worth of

796
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: money coming in that I gotta get coming in and

797
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: I made more money last year and the year before that,

798
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: and it's because I believe to me, So stop getting

799
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: fucking mad that people don't see y'all.

800
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: Do you see you? I'm so tired of people like

Speaker 3: To check it out?

00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: Hey, I look you.

810
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: Showing you what you're telling the world. You're telling the

811
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: world you don't believe. Why are you so worried about

812
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: me checking it out? If you believe in yourself, I'll

813
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: check it out. And that's how I feel.

814
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: No, I mean, you don't need permission, man. A lot

815
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 4: of people don't know. Like when I remember when we

816
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: started better, people would come to my office like this

817
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 4: is true story. People would look me up, they would

818
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: come the out, they figured out where I worked at.

819
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 4: They would come to my office and they would tell

820
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 4: me you don't have the right to make content about

821
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: Atlanta without talking to me. Niggas no real talk like bro, Like,

822
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 4: I ain't goa call it on names, but I'm dead serious.

823
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: Bro.

824
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: People would show up at my office and be like,

825
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 4: I want to talk to Brandon because I was making

826
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: social media content to celebrate Atlanta. And they would come

827
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 4: to my office and say, who are you to talk

828
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: about Atlanta without talking to me?

829
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: First?

830
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: Again, No, who are you? Because you haven't done anything,

831
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: you haven't made anything. You haven't But I gotta come

832
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 4: check it. We wanna check in over here. I gotta

833
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: check in for social media content. I gotta ask permission

834
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 4: to make an Instagram reel about the best places to

835
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 4: eat in Atlanta. I gotta make a I gotta get

836
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, the level of it was.

837
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 3: It was crazy.

838
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 4: But I came from a different world too, right, So

839
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 4: it just didn't It just didn't resonate with me, you

840
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So again, you gotta like work

841
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 4: through that stuff because again, there's a lot of people

842
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 4: that sit on the sidelines and wait for permission. They wait,

843
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 4: and a lot of people don't just take accountability and say,

844
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna put this thing out in

845
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: the world and if it hits, it hits. If it fails,

846
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: it fails. But either way, I'm gonna learned from it.

847
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 4: And again that's the way I've always looked at the

848
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: stuff that we build. That's why, that's what we talked

849
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 4: about us in the back. That's why I'm so proud.

850
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 4: And I know you said, like you see me by myself,

851
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 4: but I do have a very small team around me.

852
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 4: You know, shot that I guy Mike right here, run

853
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 4: the camera shot at Jaquela, Big Mike and Quay. Mike's

854
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 4: been believing for years, you know what I'm saying. And

855
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 4: again it's because you know, I do good business with people.

856
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 4: I look people to support me. But again, like I

857
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 4: don't need anybody's permission to go do the right thing.

858
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: And I tell that if this one thing, if you

859
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: don't remember anything, if you remember one thing from today,

860
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: you wouldn't believe how many people just walk up to me.

861
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: And I think, God annoying me this person, because I'll

862
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: flip it back on. I'm like, yo, I want you

863
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: check my music gout. It's so fire, it's fire.

864
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 4: You like it?

865
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, So why do you care what I think? What

866
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: do you want me to do.

867
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: I want you to hear it.

868
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: Give me a pinion. You just told me. I'm giving

869
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 2: you power. Listen to my shit and critique me. Nigga,

870
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: I do you like it? Who cares if you critique it?

871
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: Who cares? Like? I don't give a fuck? What are

872
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: you telling the world?

873
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: Ask yourself that with everything you do, or how you dress,

874
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: how you carry yourself, what you say out loud? What

875
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: are you telling the world? Because we were praying for

876
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: one thing and telling the world something totally different. Yeah,

877
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: I just want this that I want my blessing to

878
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: come now. But as soon as it comes, you start

879
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: talking about it because it it look the way you

880
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: wanted to.

881
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: Look, what are you telling the world every day?

882
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm telling the world that I want it and I'm

883
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: gonna receive everything you break, you send to me.

884
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: I want it all. Let's go. My hands are open.

885
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a church tonight. There's a lot of

886
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 3: people in here there. You know, they see again again.

887
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: Like I said before, you go viral almost every week, bro,

888
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 4: like you drop the bars you got out here.

889
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day too, there's a

890
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 3: lot of people.

891
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 4: They probably want to start something, they want to build

892
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 4: something they see the kind of stuff you're working on.

893
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 4: You know, my question for you is you started the

894
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 4: God Show, but like now that you started it, what

895
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 4: did you wish you knew then that you know now

896
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 4: that would have made it even more successful based on

897
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 4: what you've had a chance to accomplish. Because like I said,

898
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 4: you have the rolodecks, you can get the names on there.

899
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 4: But it's not just about having the names. It's about

900
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 4: having the content. It's about having I think, and I

901
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 4: won't say something. One of the biggest things y'all miss

902
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 4: out on when it comes to business and social media

903
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 4: is consistency. Man. I promise you, like things will appear

904
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 4: bigger and more successful if they than they are if

905
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 4: you were just consistent. One of the things you can

906
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 4: say about butter Nomics is it comes out every single Tuesday. No,

907
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 4: we don't miss a single too. With Butter We post

908
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 4: every single day for the last six years. And I

909
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 4: think a lot of times when you go out here

910
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 4: and you do stuff, you know it's easy to miss

911
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: a day. Think people don't notice. But if you don't understand, like,

912
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 4: you build a habit with people and the moment you

913
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 4: miss it, you break that trust, right, So, like, what's

914
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 4: some things that you've learned in you know, the time

915
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 4: that you've launched a god showing all your platforms that

916
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 4: you wish you to have known earlier. They could have

917
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: made you not just me as a successful yoar, but

918
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: go even further than where you are now.

919
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: Talk to people.

920
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: I know I'm not gonna put it on blast, but like,

921
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: maybe like three weeks ago it was a chastity. Mandy

922
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: was in my office and told us how much you

923
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: made from Patreon.

924
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm like what?

925
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: And as soon as she left the office, I looked

926
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: at Jack and I'm like, why the fuck are we

927
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: What the fuck are we doing? I wish I should

928
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: have called Mandy eight twenty four fucking months ago. I

929
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: probably would have been had that money. So what I

930
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: would say is is, do let me tell you something.

931
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: It's so much power and vulnerability. It's so much power,

932
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: and you can't be vulnerable with everybody, but you can

933
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: choose me vulnerable, which means you could choose me vulnerable,

934
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: and then you could choose to turn that shit off immediately.

935
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: So I walk into places and things very vulnerable. Like

936
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to say I don't know what I'm doing.

937
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 2: What you say to that is.

938
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: Gonna tell me a lot because in the music, when

939
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: I do know what I'm doing and somebody tell me

940
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing, I'll be like, yeah,

941
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: you need to come talk to me, and that's why

942
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: you gotta hire me, cause you don't what you're doing.

943
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: Like I'm like Nigga, Nigga, tell me I know what

944
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: they're doing the music, I'll be like, you're doing just fine.

945
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 2: I'm just being honest.

946
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 4: So and so.

947
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: So the vulnerability has been my superpower because I'm not

948
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: afraid to walk in the room like you know. Like

949
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: me and I call Manny. We talked for hours straight

950
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: about Yo, what you think cause I'm like, Nigga, you

951
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: ahead of me.

952
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't give a fuck. How many years

953
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: I got music? You to go and this shit? You

954
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: you you you can live off this shit. I can't

00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 2: live off the god Show, you know, like I can't

Speaker 3: Ive been.

Speaker 1: When it does though, it's gonna be a different day.

960
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I would say, like for example, Wallo

00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: in a nigga in the room, like, man, if I

1003

00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 3: I said to everybody, mother like, yeah, we could.

1006
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: I'm talking about you. You.

1007
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: So here's not me Chastity I put on the internet.

1008
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: I want to interview doctor Umar. I just I want

00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: to interview doctor Uma. Anybody known't let me know. I'm like,

1010
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: you gotta ask for shit. So Chastity hits me back

1011
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: and says me, she I just met her. She sends

1012
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: me his email. So I'm so I'm literally literally literally

1013
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: literally this is how it happened. She sent me this email.

1014
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 4: So I like it.

1015
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: This is why I love you so much. I like it.

1016
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: But I say to myself, what the fun I'm supposed

1017
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: to do with this? I swear to God, I'm like,

1018
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I like it, but like if I'm supposed

1019
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: to do this.

1020
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: So then I guess she figured that out because she

1021
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 2: hit me like an hour later. She says, do you

1022
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 2: know what to say to him? I was like no,

1023
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 2: she was like all right.

1024
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: Five minutes later, Chassity sends me a long email. She

1025
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: asked me a couple questions, said who's some of the

1026
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: biggest guests you had on? And I told her, said

1027
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: what do you feeling that?

1028
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 3: I told her.

1029
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: Then she sent me a long email. She said, copy

1030
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: and paste this and send this to doctor that email

1031
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: I sent you. And I'm like, no, you can clap it.

1032
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 3: That's real.

1033
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: This by the way watch this though, so so I'm still.

1034
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: Kind of like, say, at this moment, I don't even

1035
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: care about doctor Umar. In the email, I'm like, who

1036
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: are you looking?

1037
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 3: So she was like, what do you mean.

1038
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: I said no, no, and we just talked about this,

1039
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: like the hardest part to be about being an entrepreneur

1040
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: is taking your hand off the wheel and let someone

1041
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: else put their hand on the wheel. That's the hardest

1042
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: part because what they don't tell you when you be

1043
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur is when you pay motherfuckers and they know

1044
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: they gonna get paid the time they gonna get paid,

1045
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: they don't work harder. And here's the thing about me,

1046
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: I can't I can't wait. I'm saying this on record.

1047
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: I can't wait to give Chassity her first million dollar check.

1048
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: That motherfucker's gonna come from me. No, no, y'all are

1049
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: y'all clapping?

1050
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 2: Nigga?

1051
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 1: I feel that's stressed in my head every day because

1052
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: every time I come to the office and she's like, like,

Speaker 1: Shit gets done quick, quick, quick. So I'm like, hey, man, look,

00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:46,959
Speaker 4: get this. Now we really want you to understand. About

1228
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 4: to say is nobody gets the job before they're doing

1229
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 4: the job. And a lot of y'all are waiting to

1230
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 4: get the job before you start doing the job. A

1231
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 4: lot of y'all are waiting to get the promotion, and

1232
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 4: you're not doing that. You think you just all of

1233
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 4: a sudden you go from not doing the thing and

1234
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 4: now you're promoted and now you're doing the thing.

1235
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 3: No, that's not how this works.

1236
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 4: If you're getting promoted, I promise you nine times out

1237
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 4: of ten, you've already been doing that shit for six

1238
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 4: months period and it's just catching up with you. But

1239
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 4: people don't understand that part. Every morning, when I wake up,

1240
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 4: I keep my phone on do not Disturbed till about

1241
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 4: nine ten am. The reason why is because when I

1242
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 4: usually check my phone, I get a lot of text

1243
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 4: messages and dms that are like, I see this side

1244
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 4: of people's hand man, I see hands out and again,

1245
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 4: I'm here to help people. I understand that people are

1246
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 4: in there asking season and all that kind of stuff.

1247
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 4: But what I don't see much of is this side

1248
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 4: of y'all hand I don't see people offering me anything.

1249
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 4: Nobody calls me and offers me shit. Nobody calls me

1250
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 4: and asks me, Brandon, what can I do for you today?

1251
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 4: Nobody hits do? People hit you up and ask and

1252
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 4: literally and again people. I think I understand that people

1253
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 4: are in there asking season, they're needing season. I get that,

1254
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 4: but here again, you get what you put into it.

1255
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:04,959
Speaker 4: You know, I tell this story all the time about

1256
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 4: when I want to get in radio. I want to

1257
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 4: work for Ryan Cameron back because growing up work living

1258
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 4: in Atlanta, I want to work in radio.

1259
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 3: Ryan Cameron is the goat of radio.

1260
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 4: He's been on your show, and I'm honored him, blessed

1261
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 4: to say that we're friends now.

1262
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 3: Like he literally texts me this morning. He texts me

1263
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 3: a prayer this morning. You know what I'm saying. Like

1264
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 3: I was on his bowling team at the at the

1265
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 3: bowling things. That's like one of the biggest moments of

1266
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 3: my life. The other week, I was on his bowling

1267
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 3: team on Thanksgiving night.

1268
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. And so, but here's the thing, right,

1269
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 4: I remember, I want to work for Ryan Cameron.

1270
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 3: I was listening.

1271
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 4: I would listen to radio every I was driving to

1272
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 4: a job that I hated, and I would listen to

1273
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 4: this radio every day. He was on nine seven point five.

1274
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 4: That's right when Mashaan a Lay started, CJ and Nikini.

1275
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 4: I remember. I remember because I was there. And one

1276
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 4: day he went on the radio and said, I'm looking

1277
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 4: for interns, and if you want to be my intern,

1278
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 4: I want you to fax me in a copy of

1279
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 4: your resume. Fact not email, he said, facts or mail

1280
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 4: a copy of a So I'm sitting here thinking to myself,

1281
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 4: how to hell do I get a res a job

1282
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 4: at the radio station because I wasn't working in radio.

1283
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 4: I had no I had zero connections. Like again, a

1284
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 4: lot of these people who were at radio, they've been interns.

1285
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 4: I was doing whatever. So what I did was, I said, Okay,

1286
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be I'm gonna be creative. He was at

1287
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 4: ninety seven five. So I went and got ninety seven

1288
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 4: copies in my resume. I got ninety seven envelopes in

1289
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 4: ninety seven stamps, and I mailed all of them at

1290
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 4: the same time to him. He called me three days

1291
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 4: later on the radio station, live on air and said, Brandon,

1292
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 4: stop sending me your resume.

1293
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 3: Godja. But here's the kicker.

1294
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 4: This is the part of the story I don't tell often.

1295
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 4: And I meet him, had lunch a couple of weeks ago,

1296
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 4: and I was telling him. He didn't even remember, said,

1297
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 4: I said. The funny part is the very first day

1298
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 4: I got that job at internship because I was you know,

1299
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 4: I was out of college. I had a good job

1300
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 4: in it, and so I was a little airy and

1301
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 4: I ain't even front sure. So I wake up that morning,

1302
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 4: I got my my little Honda Cord. I'm about to drive.

1303
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 4: It's pouring down rating outside. He said, okay, you got

1304
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 4: to be here at four thirty in the morning. I

1305
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 4: drive to the rate. It was at the Cisons Trust

1306
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 4: Bank building. If y'all know nine something used to be

1307
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 4: the Sistans Trust Bank Building. I drive down there. I

1308
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 4: get there at four thirty. This mo po don't show

1309
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 4: up until like five thirty in the morning. So I'm

1310
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 4: literally sitting in my car, sitting in the parking lot

1311
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 4: way from the show up.

1312
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 3: He shows up.

1313
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 4: He says nothing to me. He's like, oh you Brandon,

1314
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 4: all right, come on inside now. My ego's already hurt.

1315
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 2: Like what you mean?

1316
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 3: Like, no, no, we go in.

1317
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 4: He barely talks to me. I stayed there for a

1318
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 4: couple of days, and I was like, man, you know what, man,

1319
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 4: fuck this shit. I don't need this job. I was

1320
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 4: making money. I'm going back to doing it and I quit. Yah,

1321
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 4: maybe after about a week. I'll never forget. He called

1322
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 4: me and he said, Brandon, I thought you wanted this job,

1323
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 4: and I'm really disappointed that you gave up so easily.

1324
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 4: And then he hung up the phone on me and

1325
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,479
Speaker 4: it took me ten years to get back into radio.

1326
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 4: Now what's crazy is we're friends now. Yeah, And I

1327
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 4: told him this story. We had we had lunch at Chops,

1328
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 4: like last month.

1329
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 3: We were talking.

1330
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 4: I told the story. He was like, yeah, I don't

1331
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 4: remember when you started, but I remember. And it's funny

1332
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 4: like if Rashaun A. Lee was just on my podcast, like,

1333
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 4: I'll look at these folks and say, you know what,

1334
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 4: if I just would have stuck to it, if I'd

1335
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 4: have put my ego to the side, if I'd have

1336
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 4: done the job before I had the job, Imagine if

1337
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 4: I really wanted that, Imagine what I could have been.

1338
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 4: So my point to y'all is this, Imagine all the

1339
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 4: things you could be doing if you just invest in

1340
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 4: it and just do the work before you get the opportunity.

1341
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 2: I'm approved that you're right. I'm only number one.

1342
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: Most people that want to be in music business have

1343
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:43,720
Speaker 1: been wanted to be and it's since they were younger.

1344
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 2: Y'all know that, right. I didn't get in the music business.

1345
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: I was twenty one.

1346
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: I know that sounds young, but Ethiopia was interning when

1347
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:56,439
Speaker 1: she was sixteen. We the same age, so that lets

1348
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: you know. I was seven years behind her in the attempt,

1349
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: which also is that when I was there. But I

1350
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: would say this, the guy that asked me to be

1351
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: in the music business, he didn't make it. The second

1352
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: artist I had, they didn't make it.

1353
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 2: This was their dream. They just asked me to go

1354
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: for the go for a ride on. If that don't

1355
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: tell you, like, how is that? So?

1356
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: Imagine you want to be a rapper and that's your thing,

1357
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: and you tell your homie help you, and now twenty

1358
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 1: years later, your homie is the man and you working

1359
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: a regular nine to five, Like, how the fuck does

1360
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: that happen? That happened because people saw me and they

1361
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: was like, a guy like you would give a guy

1362
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: like you a chance?

1363
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 2: You out of here.

1364
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: And I was just showing up for myself. But I

1365
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: didn't have an option. It was like the music business

1366
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 1: was the first time that I made a deal with

1367
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: God in my life. I'm not lying to you as

1368
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: the first time I ever made a deal with God.

1369
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember I wanted to be in the

1370
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: music It was kind of funny games. I was selling

1371
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: weed and then I got robbed and I had a

1372
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: gun put to my head. And if anybody had a

1373
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: gun put in your head at that moment where you

1374
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: don't know if this person is going to kill you

1375
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 1: or not, is very Your life flashed before your eyes,

1376
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: and I remember it was like the world paused and

1377
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,919

00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:07,319

Speaker 2: that's really how it went.

1426
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: But you know, every chance he gets, he shows up,

1427
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: and every and he says to me in return, you

1428
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: need to be loud about it. And that's why I'm

1429
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: gonna be loud as I can to the highest mountain

1430
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,560

00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: how the fuck did you do this? My family is

00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: still kind of like, don't don't mess with it, don't

1433
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: try to figure it out because we don't know how

1434
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: he does it and we don't want to fuck it up.

1435
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 2: And it's good to everybody. And I mean, I'm like,

1436
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm really that nigga at this shit. They just never asked.

1437
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 2: It's no magic over here, baby, It's science. I know.

1438
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: I hope I know the difference between the two. I'm science.

1439
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't need nobody to teach me. It ain't no tricks.

1440
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: I know exactly what to do to put it together

1441
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: and do this. How many niggas you know in the

1442
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: forties still making hits like we are niggas in the twenties.

1443
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 2: That'd be it. Once a nigga fall off, and it's

1444
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 2: twenty Like name a nigga that had name a nigga

1445
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 2: that always had a run nigga. Our run has been

1446
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 2: continue us twenty fucking years of a run. This nigga

1447
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 2: Taran has went like this every fucking year, bro. And

1448
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 2: it's because we didn't think it old as anything.

1449
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: And instead of feeling like I'm an industry nigga, we

1450
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: both look I never forget twenty twelve and thirteen. We

1451
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: looked at each other and said, he said, ray, we

1452
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: just met doctor Luke. He said, Ray, I'm gonna go work.

1453
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go work under Luke and Mike. And this

1454
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: is by the time we had hits we had we

1455
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: can't stop already we had hits out, so it wasn't

1456
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: like we needed that. But Troan was like, that motherfucker

1457
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: knows something that we don't know. That's why he in

1458
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: this forties doing it and now toront is in his

1459
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: forties doing it. We could have easily been on niggas

1460
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: like let's go to magic and spend the money we made.

1461
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: I ain't never been that, nigga. I've always been like, Nah,

1462
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: let's be good to the thing. Let's be good to

1463
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: the thing that's good to us. Let's learn more about it.

1464
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Let's let's figure out how to be better at it.

1465
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: And that's where we are. And that's why I mean,

1466
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you look at songwriters. Most songwriters, they well

1467
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: not some niggas had to hit nigga, talk about the

1468
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: track record. Nigga, we are still building it at this

1469
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: very moment. Like you can't like, you can't fuck with

1470
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: us on that term period. So and that's from because

1471
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:14,439
Speaker 1: we learn the science of success. And it's not hard.

1472
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: It's just not sexy, it's not fun. It's the other side.

1473
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: But if you learn that shit, bro, you can.

1474
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 3: Put me in.

1475
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: I can make a hit with anybody in his room.

1476
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: That's just not my interest anymore. I'd rather make a

1477
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: hit with my fuckingself. That's why you're talking to me

1478
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: about the God Show. I'm just being honest. That's where

1479
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: I was at. I'm like, nigga, I know how to

1480
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: make a hit.

1481
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 2: I know.

1482
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the god show a hit, just like

1483
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: I would make a song a hit. It's all the

1484
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: same shit. Do something dope, put it out and if

1485
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: people are gonna tell you it's dope or it's not.

1486
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: You want to describe success, here's a scress. I describe

1487
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: it in thirty seconds. Success looks like putting on that

1488
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: outfit the first day of school to impress your friends.

1489
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: That's success. Looks like you lay that beautiya. Everybody here know.

1490
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: You lay that shit on the fucking bed.

1491
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 2: You look at it.

1492
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: You put the pants at the bottom, put the fucking

1493
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: shirt at the top. You might put the shoes at

1494
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: the bottom on the floor.

1495
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, I'm a Chilly's niggas tomorrow.

1496
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: School you get in school, nobody says anything about your outfit. Now,

1497
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: two types of people in the world, Two types of

1498
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: people in the world. The first one walks out that

1499
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: room and says, fuck y'all, y'all some hater us anyway,

1500
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: that's the first person.

1501
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 2: That's ninety nine percent of us.

1502
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: The second person is like, well, nigga, they didn't know

1503
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 1: they was supposed to be impressed by their outfit. Only

1504
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,919
Speaker 1: you did to fix the fucking outfit nigga or stop

1505
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: complaining that they didn't see it. That's what life's about today.

1506
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: You give it your best, you don't get their plause.

1507
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: You go home tomorrow and you figure out how to

1508
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: get their plause the next day. Usually the easiest way

1509
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get their applause.

1510
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 2: Is what did she do to get the applause? What

1511
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: did she do to get to your pause? That's all

1512
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 2: you gotta do.

1513
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,560

Speaker 1: it was an old nat and a bus stop didn't drop.

1678
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 2: It was in an industrial area.

1679
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: There was no bus stop near it, so Lula would

1680
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: take the bus and I remember laughing at them. It

1681
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 1: weren't funny when that nigga had Fat Rabbit on the radio,

1682
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: and you start realizing, Ray, you better stop laughing at

1683
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: people and go do the work that they were doing.

1684
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 2: So I remember niggas on laughing.

1685
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: Let me.

1686
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 2: I had a friend shouting, my nigga, cheese this nigga

1687
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 2: every time.

1688
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 3: You see me.

1689
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Fake ass IRV Gotti, fake as hey him, fake ass

1690
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: IRV gotty. And by the way, it's one of my

1691
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: best friends. Hey, can I tell you all it's funny.

1692
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 1: He called me big play right now. He don't even

1693
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: remember he used to say that about me. So that's

1694
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: my point. I could have felt something. I'm like, I'd

1695
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: rather be a fake ass IRV gotty. At least that

1696
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: means I'm on the trail.

1697
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 2: I don't mind.

1698
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: Future was probably a fake Roco at one point until

1699
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: he passed them. Everybody's a fake something until they passed you.

1700
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Rick Ross with fake Biggie, he was just a fat

1701
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: nigga rapping until you pass him. So I received being

1702
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: a fake anything as long as a fake something, I

1703
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: want to be the real version of That's.

1704
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 2: A confident to me.

1705
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:49,719
Speaker 1: I never took that offended. I know it was offended

1706
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: by that. It was like, thank you, man, I'm a

1707
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: fake ass IRV gotty. Now you'll call me that no more.

1708
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't get caught up in this shit.

1709
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: But the point about Atlanta is is that we don't

1710
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: want I met you and I knew he was from here.

1711
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I wanna fuck with that nigga cause

1712
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: he's from here, and you know it's different when you're

1713
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: from it. That means you had to get in your car,

1714
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: leave your side of town, drive to the city. You

1715
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: know what I'm talk about, And and let me tell

1716
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: you I just did that. We was just ting about

1717
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: some big facts. I told Bank. I said, I think

1718
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,640
Speaker 1: the reason why Atlanta niggas are okay with out of

1719
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: town niggas coming in here and getting money is because

1720
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: Atlanta niggas think that it is shit no matter where

1721
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: they at. Nigga, even if you're a hood of land

1722
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: nig you gotta grass your grandma left your house, your

1723
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 1: grandfather left y'all. It's like, nigga, don't I'm a king here,

1724
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So in Atlanta you got

1725
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: niggas that I got niggas that never left College Park

1726
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: that like my friend literally took his daughter for a

1727
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: sixteenth birthday Atlantics Mall. He was like this the first

1728
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: I'm going there. I'm like, nigga, my kids be Atlantic's

1729
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: moy fucking weekend. Like it's nothing to him. But it's

1730
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: an Atlanta thing. When you from your side of town,

1731
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: you kind of stay there. You stay in College Park.

1732
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: You might go to East Point. Yeah you're from the

1733
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: west side, You're in no west side. We go from

1734
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,560
Speaker 1: the west side down. Y'all ain't going. Y'all are not

1735
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: hit twenty five North unless y'all hitting boat and road

1736
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: trying to get off to go to the city are

1737
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: not y'all are hitting you know what say. I'm saying,

1738
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: like you just know it. So when I met you

1739
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: and I knew you's from here, all I want to

1740
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:09,600
Speaker 1: build with him. It's not like New York. It's not

1741
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,879
Speaker 1: like other cities where they expect greatness from me. In Atlanta,

1742
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 1: it's like, man, just don't make us look bad. That's

1743
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,560
Speaker 1: all we ask it. Don't make us look bad. My nigga, like,

1744
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: just do good. So we're kings here, and I got

1745
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: niggas here. That's broke kings. I just want to be

1746
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: a rich one. I'm just being honest.

1747
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 3: Rich I be.

1748
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 2: You won't enough for me? Oh no, want enough for me?

1749
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 2: I wanted more.

1750
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: Every day I drive past McDonald's, an old national to

1751
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: go to work, whether I'm being driven in my escalade

1752
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: or my cyber trucks driving me, it's a surreal moment

1753
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: every fucking day I used to work there. Now here's

1754
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: a crazy part, y'all. When you think that, you'd be thinking, like, yeah,

1755
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: I came far, But the only far really went was mentally.

1756
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: That's the part that nobody acknowledges. Like I didn't go far.

1757
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 2: I went mentally far. I just said, it's more for me,

1758
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 2: it's more for me. I'm gonna do more. I'm gonna

1759
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 2: go out the more, I'm gonna be more, And that's all.

1760
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 2: And I became more.

1761
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: It's that simple. So for me, like, if I can,

1762
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm average as fuck. Why can't any of y'all?

1763
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 2: Because y'all are just not going to try.

1764
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 3: I will.

1765
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 2: I'll die on that trick. I'll die on that try

01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try on that hill. Nigga, fuck that I'm not.

1769
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm like Pinky in the brain every day. I'm trying

1770
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:33,120

1842
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: this is effort, but it doesn't stop here. And listen

1843
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: to what the world tells y'all. I think a lot

1844
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: of us. The one thing I think in order to

1845
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: be successful you can't be is.

1846
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,719
Speaker 2: Delusional. Now, I know people say you should be delusion

1847
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 2: on it.

1848
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't mean like delusion like we can go to

1849
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: the top, but I mean just like overestimating yourself and

1850
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: your position in a room, like don't be delusional, bro like.

1851
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: Like I think men have it a little bit easier

1852
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:45,799
Speaker 1: because men have been rejected by women since we've been trying,

1853
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: so we just.

1854
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: Used to it. Right, It's just like shit, it's just

1855
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 2: another knowing to mother, I'm gonna give it. Yes, right,

1856
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 2: It's just that right.

1857
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes you ask so many times she finally say yes,

1858
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: it's like shit, I'm gonna keep going. But women, on

1859
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: the other hand, you guys haven't really dealt with rejection

1860
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: like that. So what Like a man knows what he

1861
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: can't who he can't get, and who he can get.

1862
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 1: He'll see you and be like, I can't afford her yet.

1863
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Look at her purse. Oh hell no, I can't afford

1864
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:12,759
Speaker 1: her yet, you know. But men are realistic.

1865
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 2: You gotta be realistic about where you're at in your life, right,

1866
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 2: how the world treats you. I gave an example.

1867
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 1: No one told me I wasn't ship besides my mother,

1868
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: but the world told me I wasn't shit. It's like

1869
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 1: if the gates of heaven opened and you know you

2075
01:22:58,600 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 1: I'll go back to Atlanta figure it out. That's what

2076
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. Nigga and Atlanta, Nigga, let me tell

2077
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: you something. In Atlanta, my friends have offices and buildings

2078
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: and places, and La Niggas is renting rooms. The New

2079
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 1: York niggas is renting rooms. I want Atlanta to know

2080
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: that we are a shit. We just got to support

2081
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 1: each other and stop looking for outside motherfuckers to come

2082
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 1: in and change some shit. We just shared ourselves and

2083
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 1: it's no country city in the world like this with

2084
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 1: this many black people that's in charge. We're supposed to

2085
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: be supporting each other's businesses, everything, because it's time for

2086
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: us to get into our generation generational wealth journey.

2087
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 2: We didn't Our parents didn't have that. I always say,

2088
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:37,679
Speaker 2: give your parents grace.

2089
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 1: They didn't come up in a world where generational wealth

2090
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: was possible for black people. That didn't even come into

2091
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: the nineties. When we start seeing niggas making hundreds of

2092
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: millions of dollars, hold up, we can do that. And

2093
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 1: then maybe and by the way, maybe niggas was making

2094
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: hundred millions of dollars, but they wasn't hip hop, and

2095
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,600
Speaker 1: nobody brags on what they making like hip hop. So

2096
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: when you so it was it was hundreds hundreds of

2097
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 1: millions of dollars was when they was making the nineties.

2098
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: So my point of I'm saying is that it's our

2099
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 1: time to build generational wealth. And if you're not getting

2100
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: up your ass every day trying to do something for yourself,

2101
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad for you, because it's the gold

2102
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,719
Speaker 1: rush right now. We the motherfuckers that has anybody seen Wicked?

2103
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: Wicked is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen

2104
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: in my life. You know what I think Wicked was,

2105
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 1: you've seen it. You know I think Wicked was I

2106
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,679
Speaker 1: think it was Hollywood's way of telling us Black people.

2107
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: We know y'all are chosen ones, but we need y'all.

2108
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 2: That's what wicked was.

2109
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,600
Speaker 1: Go watch the movie Black Women, Please go watch it.

2110
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 1: It was literally their way of telling us like it's

2111
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,560
Speaker 1: a part in the movie where he says without you,

2112
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: I have no power. What am I supposed to do

2113
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,560
Speaker 1: without you? And it's like it was hot to me.

2114
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: It was a Hollywood way of saying, y'all are the chosen,

2115
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 1: but we need y'all. And to me, I just want

2116
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: us to act like the chosen. That's all I would say,

2117
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: because we are the ones.

2118
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,320

01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: And next time y'all hear something like this, bring a friend.

2131
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,839
Speaker 1: Like what we don't do enough of, we don't invite

2132
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: our people with us, is something I'm sorry, I just

2133
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 1: got to say this. I was talking to somebody and this.

2134
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 1: They said something that was so profound to me. They

2135
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: said that every black person that has made it to

2136
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: the big table was led to believe you're only at

2137
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 1: the table because you're not like them, which then makes

2138
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: us hate ourselves because it's like, I gotta behave like

2139
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 1: these guys because I don't want them to see me

2140
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: like them. And what I'm telling you is is that

2141
01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: the only reason why it feels like that is because

2142
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: we're going to their table. Stop going to their table

2143
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: and start sitting out our us. I stress that like

2144
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: support each other, sit out at our tables. Stop asking

2145
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,759
Speaker 1: those motherfuckers to see you, because when you ask motherfucker

2146
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: to see you, they you're giving them power. A girl

2147
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 1: with a big assets never walked through a room and

2148

2149
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:20,439
