Buster Rahms album is out 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:13.360 right now. 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:14.760 Blockbuster yea. 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.159 So recently we had a conversation with Swizz Yes, and 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:25.880 I asked Swizz how he got himself, Timberland and Pharrell.

We was on the I believe he 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:29.320 was on a yacht probably eight hours that day. About 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.799 four hours into to the day, it just kept going 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.680 really really crazy in my mind.

But all the 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.760 other conversation throughout the day was just regular conversation. I'm like, listen, 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.320 I just need to say this to all three of y'all. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.680 Ain't nowhere in the world, and I'm gonna get off 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.280 this boat and I tell y'all that this is not 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.800 gonna be a moment where we shouldn't be discussing doing 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.320 a bust the Rhyms album with all of y'all producing it. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.880 I don't care what I ain't taking no back talk 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.040 started off as an EP.

It's set the standard for 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.520 what the rest of the album should feel like it 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.600 sound like. And what was dope about the album when 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.680 it was just those six songs. Was every song felt 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:16.040 like feel good, energy, party and turn up records.

I'm leaving out a couple, but off the 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.120 top those is that's where it's at. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.800 And I had to ask, so thank you so much, Claudia, 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:29.360 how did you decide? 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.080 You know, the one thing I would say about Bust 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:35.320 is you always had your your hold on the legacy 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.000 og artists and also the younger artists, right so you know, 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.959 back then you would do a record with Slick Ric 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.040 on Rockham but then you do a record with Coiler 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.480 Ray and the Baby, Absolutely, So what made you want 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.160 to do the records with those individuals like a Coiler Ray, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.920 the artist with the video the Luxury Life, which is 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.360 a redone of Foxy and Hole. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.520 Absolutely. First of all, I'm gonna always give it up 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:59.800 to the to the to the timeless greatness, all right, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:05.600 and contribution that pushed the culture forward, and it also 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.080 evolved the culture because when the records was happening, when 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.960 we was doing it, you already know that ninety six 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.880 to like two thousand and one, it was probably the 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:19.080 most lucrative time in hip hop period. So big up 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:26.720 the whole, Big up the Foxy on clarinet and as 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.480 far as the new artists with the Coiler Rays and 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:36.240 the Beers, the Baby, Quavo and Moray and Young Doug 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.960 and Gigs and Young Blue and Blash and all of 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.719 these new artists. For me on this album in particularly, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.120 I just felt like I needed to speak to both 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:55.640 generations real quick. When I said what I said at 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.640 the BT Awards, I was trying to speak to both generations. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.640 I wanted the young generations to know that we love them, 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.760 we support them, we admire what you're doing. And I'm 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:11.319 not gonna really do this entertaining of this this little 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.600 bugged out propaganda, and that's this little narrative of you know, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.160 the elder stationman and the ogs don't respect it. As 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:20.920 far as what y'all are doing is concerned. 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:21.320 We do. 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.000 And there's a lot of us that like it, a 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:25.400 lot of us that love it, a lot of us 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.120 as fans of it. And I'm gonna speak for me 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.440 because I come from a group with a legacy and 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.199 a name that we had to fight to earn, and 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.280 what's called Leaders of the New School. I'm always gonna 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.319 do that. And I think culturally even deeper than the name, 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.760 which is why the name was something that was greater 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.440 than the name. For us, it was an attribute. Was 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.439 we wanted to live this name. When you live it, 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:50.920 it's an attribute because it's attributed to the way you 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.319 actually carry your action out. So for me, Leaders of 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.720 the New School from a cultural standpoint came from and 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.719 our community is black children in the so called urban community. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.800 We want to always pull up as the ones that 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.199 discovered the new thing first, whether it's the new pair 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.479 of sneakers, whether it was the new denim suit from Levi's, 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:13.680 whether it was. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:14.240 The new. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:22.240 Battle from co crushing for some seas Kumud and busy 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:27.200 b or the new whip everything new. We love culturally 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.960 to be the one to stunt and show off and 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:34.760 say we're putting everybody else onto something. That means you 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.760 are about leading the new from a cultural place. This 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.440 is the way we live. Culture is a way of life. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.720 So ultimately, if I'm going to be this person from 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:51.040 when I started, and this is all I know culturally, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.920 this ain't a style thing. This is a way of 0:12:54.960 --> 0:13:00.120 life thing. I liked leading the new I was. I'm 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.439 also talkt and raised and believe that you can't put 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.160 the timeline on greatness. So at the end of the day, 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.720 you're not gonna tell me because of my age or 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.760 because of my legacy and the time that I put 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:17.560 into this professionally that I'm not gonna be in tune 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.360 because make a conscious effort with keeping my finger on 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.800 the pulse. You feel what I'm saying. I'm in the 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.240 street every night, for real, I'm gonna call a DJL 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.040 for real. I'm gonna send you my record myself, for real. 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.080 Do you think that's a lost art phone? We're talking 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:33.640 to buster rooms see here, and the reason I say 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.840 that is like I was saying to you earlier, Buster, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.160 there is no more of well, i'll. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.199 Have my label people call. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:41.439 Right. 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.600 When I was a small DJ and I only had 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.560 one hour a show, one hour a week, Buster would 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:46.840 call that. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:52.600 One record, I'm calling your cell phone. Yes, Buster would would. 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.480 Come pull up to the club. And Buster still does that. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.800 Most of these artists don't do that no more at that. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.040 Maybe they don't respect the DJ as much and they 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.600 don't respect radio. What makes you still have the grind 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.280 to do it? You don't have to, you're financially secure, 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.840 you're great, but you still do the things that a 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:08.680 new artist would do. 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.680 Why I love it too much? I care about it 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.640 too much. And I was also taught being five percent, 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.800 you ain't gonna sit home and wait for myster regard 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.200 to bring you food, saying, mystery regard, you're gonna sit 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.040 home and wait to bring you food. He also bestowed 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:25.880 the blessing and the gift and gave you the ability 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.600 to have a life that exists in real time and 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.640 space for you to go get it yourself right. That's 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.600 the blessing in itself, what you've been gifted with to 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.800 exist and have and be able to be acknowledged for 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:41.840 just existing is the gift itself. So instead of me 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.040 waiting and asking somebody to do something that I could 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.280 actually do, Yeah, I'm gonna appreciate the assistance. I got 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.560 a support system, of course, but I'm not relying on 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.160 the support system as if I ain't gonna do nothing. 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.880 And it's it's this responsibility of the supporting system alone 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:02.120 to secure the win for me. My children ain't my 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:07.320 support system responsibility, they minds. So regardless what my support 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:13.480 system is doing, the most hot on old not even 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.200 my support system another five seconds, so he wiped everybody 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.080 off the face of the earth. Still got to live 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.960 and die my own iniquity at the end of the day. 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.520 And besides all of that, bro, I like the space 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.680 that I'm in right now. I'm a happy mom. I'm 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:34.800 happy as hell, envy, I'm super duper happy. So for me, 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.440 I'm really in a space where I'm enjoying my life. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.720 I'm enjoying what I'm doing, I'm enjoying what I'm creating. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:49.440 I'm enjoying that I'm making records with my children. When 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.240 I used to have to make records for my children. 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.000 I love it just speaking on this because I know 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.760 we did speak about the disconnect between some artists. Clearly 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.920 not you, because you are opening the pathway, the lines 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.480 of communication with these younger artists, but there are some 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.600 people that don't respect the older generation and vice versa. 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.080 I love it just speaking on that because I think 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.280 we are in this microwave society where a lot of 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.000 people think they don't know the hard work that the 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:17.920 people that came before them had to put in. So 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:19.680 what would you say to someone that has a talent 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.840 that has like everything about him that could be a star, 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:23.880 but they don't have that grind? 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:24.600 What would you say to them? 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.520 Because you are here at five thirty you was on time. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.880 Thanks for that question, Quin, because I think this is 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.560 one of them questions that is going to allow me 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.880 to say something that I've been longing to say. Okay, 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.680 there was a lot of answers that I wanted when 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.600 I was trying to get myself together in the earliest 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.320 stage in my career, and I was blessed enough to 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.960 have a Chuck d that gave me my name, a 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:53.840 big Daddy Kane that would allow me to come to 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.280 his crib in a Jamaica estates and his multi million 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.480 dollar home when he had the purple burgundy bands with 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:06.560 the gold AMG Deep dish Rims right, not AMG Deep 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.080 dish Rims. It was Hammer Deep dish Rims. I don't 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:13.639 remember the band. It was Hammer Joints. And Box was 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.800 his manager and he used to let me come there 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.800 and sit down and just watch the TV and ask 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.479 questions and you know see you know, chicks pull up 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.560 and they who would cook in the kitchen and parish 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.359 for me PMD Eric Shermon. They would let me come 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.080 to their crib and this is when they was like 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:38.560 on a second or third group album. And I bought 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:43.040 my first whip in like ninety three. It was a 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.680 fore Runner that I bought in Queensbridge, the secondhand car 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:52.520 lot and I bought this car. I drive out there 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.160 and Paris had a bunch of real estate at property 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:59.520 all over Long Island. He had Schumer Management EPMD, and 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.960 they would the first dudes that I was actually seeing 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:07.000 do things outside of just being artists. The diversifying of 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.840 the portfolio was like the first time that I was 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.879 seeing this. So I was asking questions and I was 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:18.800 getting the answers from the elder Statesman to me, I 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.479 was the young and I was the new dude, and 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:25.560 they felt good about sharing that with me. I understood 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.640 at that point them dudes was walking in their purpose, 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:34.720 and I know that as much as I needed it, 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:39.000 and it helped me. It's one thing I think Denzel 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.520 said on the ground one day that I saw in 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.240 the post. He was like, you can't go to your 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:46.440 grave with the U haul truck. So everything that you got, 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.600 you can't take it with you. I'm gonna give it 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.720 away because I ain't got no choice. I'm in such 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.600 a blessed place in my life. I don't need you 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.800 to give me back nothing other than the reciprocal love 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.720 that I've given you. Just give me the same respect. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.760 But more importantly, the thing that I'm gonna need for 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.119 you to give me is that if you are new artist, 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.080 that I'm gonna make the time to sit with, build 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.320 with and walk in my purpose and share the information, 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.520 and give you the keys and give you the answers 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.800 to the deep Sea scroll. And when you open a 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.480 Pandora box, I got the answer with on one sid 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.040 side of the Pandora box for your ass too. The 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.199 only thing you do for me is be successful and 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.480 showing me how much you're gonna apply the information I'm 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.960 giving you and secure to win and make. But I'm 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:36.120 giving you yours and evolving into something else and give 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:40.960 it to somebody else. I don't want to. I ain't 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:44.280 even interested in signing on artists. I don't even want that. 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.000 Don't don't. I don't want to deal with none of 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.080 that I want. I just want to empower people at 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.439 this point in my life. Be your own boss. I 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.200 don't want to take a piece of your this set 0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.000 or piece of your that just you shine. But pull up. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:01.800 Let me give you this thing. Because this thing that 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.000 I'm gonna give you, it actually should come with an invoys. 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.119 You need to pay me for this information. And I 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.120 don't want nothing from you but to see you secure 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:11.520 the win. 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:13.960 But to see But the problem with that Buster we're 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.200 talking to, Buster Rhomsey is here. The album is out, Blockbuster. 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.359 It's a lot of people say they're a boss, but 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:20.880 they don't know how to. 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:21.520 Be a boss. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.160 Absolutely, that's cool to be, like I'm a boss, cool 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.119 to be and but you have to learn, you have 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.600 to learn what that means. And a lot of people 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.520 they need to sign to somebody because they need somebody 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.640 to show them the way. Absolutely a lot of people 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.199 can't do that a lot, and I think with this 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.240 day and age people I'm a boss where people feel 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.760 like they don't want to work for somebody, They don't 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.119 want to put the grind in, they don't want to 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:42.440 sign to somebody, they don't want. 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:42.639 To do it. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:44.560 But we've all been to a place where we had 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:45.080 to learn. 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:47.679 I think social media made a lot of people arrogant 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:53.159 that have that have not done the work, like really 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:54.240 a post. 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.800 On what you're saying, one trillion percent to what you're 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.639 saying envy. Reason why I don't want to sign no 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:05.040 artists right now is because I don't respect an appreciative 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.359 artists when you sign them and help them blossom and 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.240 blow and develop and evolve and grow and become great, 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.159 and then they act like you ain't had nothing to 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:17.320 do with it. I get out the way. Show me 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.879 you could do it on your own. But see if 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.080 I'm not signed to you, the obligation ain't the same. 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.919 When I'm giving you now, I don't owe you nothing 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.520 after that. Take what I'm giving you and know that 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.720 they's so priceless. At the end of the day, you 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:39.439 actually owe me by getting this information and using it 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.200 and being successful with what I'm giving you. And that's 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:44.800
