Speaker 1: like he he be steady.
Speaker 2: That's one of the most fascinating things on the West Coast.
Speaker 1: Me what that.
Speaker 3: Won't Well when people say West Coast, I don't want
Speaker 3: to say exclusive to l A you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: West Coasts includes San Diego to Babe, so you have
Speaker 3: to say la or whatever part. It's like somebody generalizing Georgia.
Speaker 3: It's like, nah, like Atlanta niggas as far as I know, Atlanta,
Speaker 3: like Decater niggas ain't the same thing.
Speaker 4: As Yeah, yeah, same ship. So I want to ask
Speaker 4: you a question. What is some hats to not wear?
Speaker 2: You going straight in?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to because right now it's a picture
Speaker 2: going viral. This guy had on his shirt and it's
Speaker 2: it has pictures of hats you should not wear in
Speaker 2: l A. One of them is a Florida Marlind's hat.
Speaker 4: Damn, you definitely can't wear astro hat.
Speaker 1: What well, the thing is hat? I mean you can
Speaker 1: what you can. What hats are okay to wear?
Speaker 2: You can lack la.
Speaker 1: Hat, like you said, you can wear anything you want
Speaker 1: to wear. It's just you know, it's not a good
Speaker 1: idea depends on where you are and who you run
Speaker 1: it to, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like, we have certain community leaders that understand that you're
Speaker 3: from out of town and you from Atlanta, or you know,
Speaker 3: you might be from Florida and you might have on
Speaker 3: a Florida Marlin's hat or Atlanta, Georgia's had Atlanta braves hat.
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves had it, okay.
Speaker 1: And you might be somewhere where you run into a
Speaker 1: community leader and that community leader will be accepting of
Speaker 1: your geography about a falcon's hat on the other side,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you can't where a falcon's hat on
Speaker 1: the other side.
Speaker 3: If you run into some Wayians that don't get forgot
Speaker 3: none of that, then you know, you may or may
Speaker 3: not have to remove the hat. They might confiscate the hat,
Speaker 3: or you may not have to you know, deal with
Speaker 3: certain politics of not knowing.
Speaker 1: So there's this thing that the misconception about.
Speaker 3: LA specifically LA is like, oh, it's game banging. It
Speaker 3: is that, but it's not about colors and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Just like how y'all could tell what somebody owned based
Speaker 3: on their temperament, they demeanor, the way they walk, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. You can kind of feel the
Speaker 3: energy is real. I don't know if you kids know that,
Speaker 3: but energy is real. But so when somebody is presenting
Speaker 3: a certain energy with the hat therein lie is a
Speaker 3: thing that that becomes a thing, then they kind of know. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but you always get in a black LA hat, so
Speaker 3: a blacks feel like the black white Sox hat, which
Speaker 3: I never understood. That's something too though. I would just
Speaker 3: like me, I'm good whatever, I'm good with everybody. I
Speaker 3: still wear black LA hatch. I have a purple and
Speaker 3: gold Kobe Jersey black LA hat. I'll have a blue
Speaker 3: Lakers throwback black LA hat. I just wear black LA
Speaker 3: hats just conditioning, so just growing up, I always wear
Speaker 3: black LA hats.
Speaker 1: This one is a Dodger's hat.
Speaker 4: But you know, is that okay to where a black
Speaker 4: Dodgers hat.
Speaker 1: Well, this one says Dodgers on it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 3: So this is but this is also like some limited
Speaker 3: edition ship like it got the dog, it's the Dodgers adverse.
Speaker 3: It's like this is like a limited edition hat. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like this this is some shit,
Speaker 3: but like you know, you could, I would For those
Speaker 3: who don't know, I would stick to black l A
Speaker 3: hats and don't do brown, don't do red, don't do burgundy.
Speaker 4: Just black LA, and don't wear solid colors. Like I
Speaker 4: couldn't wear this, you can, well, I mean I.
Speaker 1: Could wear it.
Speaker 2: All depends on the energy of with your.
Speaker 1: With what presenting while you're wearing that? What is that?
Speaker 1: Is that orange? This? This is fashionype of fashion.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Ferrari Simmons. Is you know b tape the
Speaker 2: Baller Show.
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm dripped in dipp and fashion over.
Speaker 1: Man, you feel me? Man, you already know what I
Speaker 1: got on fashion over.
Speaker 4: Y'all keep asking me when y'all see my my clothes,
Speaker 4: y'all say, BT, where do you get your clothes from?
Speaker 1: Fashion over? Hey? Look?
Speaker 2: Hat, shades, shirt, shorts, socks, underwear.
Speaker 4: I keep trying to tell y'all, keep trying to tell y'all,
Speaker 4: it ain't the clothes that make the man.
Speaker 1: It's the man to make the clothes. He did what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, No, But then what's the fold? These the
Speaker 1: official fall fold? They shoot peace? Let me see? And
Speaker 1: then I got stars.
Speaker 2: I got this that fashion over.
Speaker 1: To so hold on, stand up. So look right now,
Speaker 1: you look fashionable.
Speaker 3: You don't look like you want no ship, okay, because
Speaker 3: you got the burnt orange and you got the red,
Speaker 3: white and blue like it ain't really fashion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you could probably walk down mail roads or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 3: Or fair fact wherever y'all go, visit LA and nobody
Speaker 3: would even say anything to you. Now if you if
Speaker 3: that was like a bright, if it wasn't more if
Speaker 3: it's a little bit more orange, and then you had
Speaker 3: on the astros hat with it, Oh no, no, it
Speaker 3: might be oh no, like you know, it might be
Speaker 3: oh no, cause for something I know that's a that's
Speaker 3: oh no. I'm not saying it's oh no. It's certain
Speaker 3: it's yes with certain people.
Speaker 4: But I mean, but but but you might not be
Speaker 4: a kin to that energy, right because I don't know
Speaker 4: anything about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's just you know, you grew up knowing it, right.
Speaker 2: Okay, So first of aelmost I want to give your flowers, man,
Speaker 2: have a lot of respect for you as a person,
Speaker 2: a brand, an entity within the framework or what you do.
Speaker 1: Want to say that on camera to you.
Speaker 2: I want to start from the beginning. How'd you get
Speaker 2: your start and how'd you get your name?
Speaker 3: I started well, when I finished high school, I went
Speaker 3: to radio. I took radio broadcasting that community college because
Speaker 3: I'm like, I want to be on the radio. I
Speaker 3: just knew I always had a voice. The homies used
Speaker 3: to make fun of me in school, like tenth grade,
Speaker 3: you got two kids in the mortgage because at the
Speaker 3: way my voices are, you know what I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying, but you got an announcing type of voice.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I always wanted to be on the radio.
Speaker 3: I went to broadcasting school or took broadcasting classes at
Speaker 3: so Rito's College and then but in school, like the
Speaker 3: homies just wouldn't call me Aaron.
Speaker 1: My government name is Aaron Drake. Ironically, you know, that's
Speaker 1: like been a thing. But continue, We'll get into that later.
Speaker 3: But they just wouldn't call me airing. They like, no, nigga,
Speaker 3: your name head, nigga. Look at your ship, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I'm like, bro, we were the same size.
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, but your ship is shaped different.
Speaker 3: You know, we just don't call you head. Just so
Speaker 3: I took the A out because like, I'm a nerd.
Speaker 3: I'm a super geek.
Speaker 1: Been good.
Speaker 3: I'm good at video games, right, anybody want the Mario
Speaker 3: car fade. I'm on the call of duty.
Speaker 1: I'm on all that. I'm not good at the two K,
Speaker 1: not good in the wreck. I'm the sixth man, so
Speaker 1: I'm good at two K. I'm not the reck nigga.
Speaker 1: But back in the day, like playing video and street Fighter,
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat. You know when you at a highest score,
Speaker 1: it's room for you to put three initials. So I
Speaker 1: just took the A out put H G D. So
Speaker 1: that's kind of like I just kept my name.
Speaker 2: And then when did you start DJing?
Speaker 3: I went to college, got my radio certificate ate and
Speaker 3: I watched like DJ he did. He did legendary out
Speaker 3: there and he DJ for the Clippers now him DJ Kelly,
Speaker 3: uh DJ Bad. I was watching him. I was wanting
Speaker 3: to learn the craft, but really I was too like
Speaker 3: timid to fuck with it. My big honey glasses. He
Speaker 3: was like, once he started getting motion, we was promoting him,
Speaker 3: he kind of got big.
Speaker 1: In the city.
Speaker 3: He's like, look, cuz you're gonna be my DJ. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I don't know how to DJ. He's like, well, you
Speaker 3: the smartest nigga. I know you can learn how to DJ.
Speaker 3: So I took a year taking myself out of DJ.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, And my nigga, DJ Kelly
Speaker 3: bought my first needles and my mixer and I just
Speaker 3: just go to the club soon as the club O
Speaker 3: because I couldn't afford equipment, so my homies let me.
Speaker 3: I just fuck they records up, like you know when
Speaker 3: they getting sound checking doors, Just fucking they records up
Speaker 3: until I learned how to blend and shit. Then one
Speaker 3: time we were still I never told this before. We
Speaker 3: was doing a party in Long Beach and I think
Speaker 3: it was the twenties, and the insans had got into it,
Speaker 3: like that's just notorious. They all know each other, they
Speaker 3: related and everything. They got into it. Our DJ packedic
Speaker 3: shit and left. He was like, I'm out of here
Speaker 3: because he was outside throwing them right, so and nobody
Speaker 3: was shooting nothing because they know each other, y'all family.
Speaker 3: But I was like my big bro pool He was
Speaker 3: like DJ, I'm like, so, I just start pulling vinyls
Speaker 3: and just start DJing the party.
Speaker 1: And that's that was it that I start carrying craigs
Speaker 1: for the homie DJ Kelly.
Speaker 3: I couldn't afford a laptop ship that Toroado came later,
Speaker 3: but and I started learning how to DJ, and then
Speaker 3: eventually I got good fast, like a year, year and
Speaker 3: a half, and then I start DJing parties.
Speaker 2: Now a lot of people know you infamously now for
Speaker 2: your commentary and the Drake Kendrick Lamar saga.
Speaker 1: I call it a saga because it's definitely like a
Speaker 1: television show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've definitely been one of the key voices
Speaker 4: on letting us know what's really going on.
Speaker 1: That's what I was talking was at the Black and
Speaker 1: Flair podcast.
Speaker 2: I was like, I know all the updates because of you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you had you had very insightful, accurate information. So I
Speaker 2: feel like it immediately started putting you in spaces where
Speaker 2: very few people are at correct because now when people
Speaker 2: are coming to you for information and you're providing accurate information,
Speaker 2: now it gives you room for people to critique, judge,
Speaker 2: say oh fuck you, and give you your flowers as well.
Speaker 2: How did that? First and foremost, how did you get
Speaker 2: cool enough or how did you get tapped in enough
Speaker 2: to provide all this information on Kendrick or speak on
Speaker 2: what's going on on your side of the country, because
Speaker 2: it's kind of like you were speaking for him, not really,
Speaker 2: but really.
Speaker 1: Did I tell you that? I said that that black effect.
Speaker 2: But from where we're looking, you know, we're especially in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna speak for the entire city of Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Because what happens is Drake comes to Atlanta often, so
Speaker 2: he has ties in Atlanta with Future with twenty one Savage,
Speaker 2: which Thug and stuff like that. So Drake like our
Speaker 2: partner in Atlanta, you know what I'm saying. So, but
Speaker 2: when he came to Atlanta or comes to Atlanta, it's cool.
Speaker 2: So he frequented here as it should be, but Atlanta
Speaker 2: always seems it seemed like Atlanta kind of was like wait, wait, wait, ibrow,
Speaker 2: I brow up.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Y'all? Put them on time out? No, no,
Speaker 1: what do you mean?
Speaker 2: No, we'll get to that. But I'm gonna get to
Speaker 2: you because I feel like on your behalf you were
Speaker 2: giving us updated accurate information on k do how, why, if, if?
Speaker 1: When? What? But like how well?
Speaker 3: These is the homies Like people think this ain't on
Speaker 3: industry relations. These are my homies. For these are like
Speaker 3: my friends. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: We came up together.
Speaker 3: Like if you go back and listen to Halfsold second
Speaker 3: project on TD from twenty and ten, I'm on, I'm
Speaker 3: on a skit on that project like me and Dot
Speaker 3: we was on tour together in twenty ten. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like it's footage on the internet right
Speaker 3: now for us, me and him mixed boley, like we
Speaker 3: on tour together in twenty ten, like eating noodles and
Speaker 3: being broke together, like these is my friends in real life,
Speaker 3: These ain't.
Speaker 1: These ain't like people like oh, like a lot of.
Speaker 3: People who took the other side is like fans and
Speaker 3: shit niggas that would never break bread with them in
Speaker 3: a day in they life, or you know, whatever the
Speaker 3: case may be, like these is my homies. And as
Speaker 3: you know, like the lineage where I come from, you
Speaker 3: just you ride with your hommies. You know what I'm saying, good,
Speaker 3: bad and different, wrong whatever. I don't believe in that
Speaker 3: right or wrong shit that the street niggas always preach
Speaker 3: to me, like right or wrong nigga, we riding together.
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily subscribe to that because that's not that
Speaker 3: goes against my moral compass. But if it's not morality
Speaker 3: in question, these is my friends. These are my homies
Speaker 3: I'm riding with. I'm swinging for a and t you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like, that's just what it is.
Speaker 1: So for me.
Speaker 3: When it all cracked off, it's nobody was saying nothing
Speaker 3: and it's like, bro, y'all know the homie, Like why nobody?
Speaker 3: And so I'm like, I was more surprised that I
Speaker 3: was the only one saying anything. That's where I was
Speaker 3: coming from. I wasn't even tripping on the fact that
Speaker 3: I'm being looked at as the guy. I'm just like,
Speaker 3: bro y'all know the homie for real, Like you know him.
Speaker 3: We all seen him sparring, freestyling, the projects. We notice
Speaker 3: Nigga could rap. We know what he does creatively like
Speaker 3: we and then on outside of that, not to say
Speaker 3: it like that, but you know, like California specifically has
Speaker 3: a reputation for being very disrespectful because and if you
Speaker 3: die sac I'm a music nerd too, So if you
Speaker 3: dissected musically, most people gonna dish you or say something
Speaker 3: to you over some hip hop like what Joey Badass
Speaker 3: is doing, right, they gonna boop the problem the real
Speaker 3: and people can't figure out why the West Coast is
Speaker 3: so inflammatory and why it's so big When it happens,
Speaker 3: it's because we're gonna say some wild shit to you
Speaker 3: and to beat and it's gonna be over some shit
Speaker 3: you're gonna play in the club. That's that's the difference,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like it's gonna be over
Speaker 3: some ship that you're gonna hear nigga, everybody's gonna be
Speaker 3: singing it. It's gonna be a hook to it. You know,
Speaker 3: you're gonna be a joker or whatever. So if you notice,
Speaker 3: if you know that's where he come from, that's he
Speaker 3: really from. He's really from Compton, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Like my homies is really his homies. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like I know, like certain people not from him,
Speaker 3: but that's with him, got it?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like these is like people out have been over there
Speaker 3: and DJed in the projects and Neela's and like you know,
Speaker 3: Gweet or he in jail, but like little al like
Speaker 3: these is my real Like I fuck with these dudes,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. But then it's the people
Speaker 3: that people like who are these niggas on to Pip
Speaker 3: Butterfly like? But they not catching it? And that's why
Speaker 3: that's how I got involved.
Speaker 2: It's not more so like you gotta evolve by association.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not a thing that I asserted myself.
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to.
Speaker 2: Do just that's already it's happening.
Speaker 1: BT. BT is your guy.
Speaker 3: So somebody across the tracks, like, get on the internet,
Speaker 3: get on the on the on the radio station, on
Speaker 3: another radio.
Speaker 2: I'm saying with BT, I got you.
Speaker 1: That's all it is.
Speaker 2: It's all it is, okay. But before that happened, though,
Speaker 2: I got you, BT was everything cool, everything was loved,
Speaker 2: Like where were playing drap when we listening to d
Speaker 2: we're supporting Drake.
Speaker 1: I still play as Worcords on my radio show right now.
Speaker 1: I'm not one of them people who like is delusional.
Speaker 1: I play no kid like I'm not as a DJ
Speaker 1: with y'all should notice, it's not about you. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Most DJ not most.
Speaker 3: A lot of dj is get on them turntables and
Speaker 3: get to plan what they want to hear and be five.
Speaker 1: It's five hundred people, and I hate that. That's play
Speaker 1: what they want, some vain ship. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 3: I'm I've been DJing professionally since two thousand and I
Speaker 3: would say nine right, I have never I've dejayed in Vegas, overseas, everywhere.
Speaker 1: I have never prepared a set. I've never prepared a
Speaker 1: DJ set like I'm gonna do this in the crowd.
Speaker 3: That's why it was so hard for me to do
Speaker 3: radio because I don't have a crowd to feed off of.
Speaker 3: So I had to learn a new out of exercise,
Speaker 3: a new muscle and just programming, right, learning programming. But
Speaker 3: I'm a crowd reader. If y'all put me in any
Speaker 3: club in Atlanta, I'm gonna go in there. I'm it's
Speaker 3: gonna take me about twenty minutes to figure out what
Speaker 3: they what they own. And then once I go cause,
Speaker 3: I'll go extreme over here, I'll go Miley Cyrus, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Oh okay, not Miley, alright. I
Speaker 3: come up to Juicy, all right, Juicy, all right, that's
Speaker 3: my that's this side. And I go over here, I
Speaker 3: go not like, okay, they ain't on that. Or then
Speaker 3: I go up to let me see Gee Perica, Okay,
Speaker 3: y'all not on that? What about the drama mixed to
Speaker 3: a ya? So I once I figure out my bearing,
Speaker 3: I'm locked in.
Speaker 1: That's how DJ and Atlanta just future. If he plays
Speaker 1: the future, I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm not one of them DJs. Who like just play
Speaker 3: like fuck him and all that kind of shit like that.
Speaker 3: So like, that's not what I'm on now. If it
Speaker 3: was that, it could be that too, but that's not
Speaker 3: what I'm own now.
Speaker 4: The thing, well, I'm most surprised about is like what
Speaker 4: you're saying, Like you were surprised by how nobody was
Speaker 4: saying anything. Do you feel like people wasn't saying anything
Speaker 4: because it kind of started off like a like a
Speaker 4: popularity contest, you know what I'm saying, Like it because
Speaker 4: people was really kind of like, I don't really know
Speaker 4: how this is gonna go, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And when you start being vocal about it, you were
Speaker 4: the only person being vocal about it.
Speaker 1: You gotta think I got in the field when it
Speaker 1: wasn't cool that wasn't saying nothing. This after the Push
Speaker 1: Up Ship.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is why Push Ups was the only
Speaker 3: one that at nobody had the record. You didn't have
Speaker 3: the record, I didn't nobody act the only nigga had
Speaker 3: the record. So I'm like, well, if that show again,
Speaker 3: this is always wasn't it Like wasn't like that first
Speaker 3: yeah was.
Speaker 1: That came out? But he engaged. So the thing is
Speaker 1: it's like where I'm from, this is it sounds repetitive,
Speaker 1: but it's just I don't that's the answer. The truth
Speaker 1: is the answer. Were we from?
Speaker 3: You don't like false flag like you don't claim to
Speaker 3: be Like like B two said earlier about what I'm wearing,
Speaker 3: I ain't. That ain't what I'm own like I'm just
Speaker 3: wearing the shirt. You can't false flag where we're from.
Speaker 3: That's an automatic problem and you gotta you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean.
Speaker 3: So the way I'm looking at it, like if BT
Speaker 3: and Rory put out a record, put out a disc record,
Speaker 3: but y'all are only two niggas playing the record or
Speaker 3: have the record?
Speaker 1: Is it real? Why is it not? Why are you
Speaker 1: not putting it out? Where is the record at? And
Speaker 1: so that's where I was.
Speaker 3: I was just and I hadn't even talked to that
Speaker 3: at this point. This is just me speaking just for me, Like, bro,
Speaker 3: if that's your record, put the record out, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. And then when they started him and
Speaker 3: acting all them, they started to engage. It was it
Speaker 3: became a story. But I wasn't speaking on nobody's behalf.
Speaker 2: Question hindsight looking at how it started, and do you
Speaker 2: think that it could have been resolved or they could
Speaker 2: have squashed this before it went to before it got
Speaker 2: to not like us and family matters and all that.
Speaker 1: Do you wish that that happened?
Speaker 3: No, because this got a chance for the homie to
Speaker 3: prove to the world what he really is, because people don't.
Speaker 3: People always doubted it, like and also not that they
Speaker 3: doubted his greatness. Two things happen. One is they finally
Speaker 3: had to admit their biases. This revealed a lot of
Speaker 3: biases into the world. It's like, people just don't fuck
Speaker 3: with you, and that's okay. But I respect a racist
Speaker 3: white person who say they're racist more so than I
Speaker 3: respect a nigga who say who don't say nothing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I just have more respect
Speaker 1: for that because.
Speaker 2: At least you telling me where you at.
Speaker 1: We that's it and where I'm from, Authenticity is number
Speaker 1: one for sure. It's protocols.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't necessarily so if what that's one
Speaker 3: thing is just revealed the truth of the matter, then
Speaker 3: when I spoke to him, he coccurd and then you
Speaker 3: heard it on Euphoria. What I learned he didn't even
Speaker 3: he knew, but he didn't know. I've been saying this.
Speaker 3: If you go back, you can look on my Instagram
Speaker 3: and go back twenty twelve. I got on West Coast shirts.
Speaker 3: I've been pushing the same, Go back, go talk to
Speaker 3: DJO when they first hired me in real nineties. With
Speaker 3: three in La twenty fifteen, I'm yelling, we need to
Speaker 3: be West Coast, we need I've been the same for
Speaker 3: the twenty years.
Speaker 1: I've been biased the whole time. I'm not anti anybody.
Speaker 1: I'm just pro us. It ain't none wrong with that,
Speaker 1: ain't non wrong with that.
Speaker 3: So my thing is what one it showed the biases,
Speaker 3: and then two it showed the world It's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's his artsy, fartsy esoteric black revolutionary, but he's still
Speaker 3: a nigga from Compton. And I think that's what shocked everybody.
Speaker 3: It's like, this is when G and X came out.
Speaker 3: It's still Luther just came out as number one, right now,
Speaker 3: still right, g and X came out.
Speaker 1: It's like, what is this? This is too la, this
Speaker 1: is too s coast. DJ is calling me from all
Speaker 1: over rang gonna say who it was, y'all. We ain't
Speaker 1: fucking with this as soon as they dropped this ship
Speaker 1: to West Coast.
Speaker 3: Ain't never gonna it, ain't never gonna go. We ain't
Speaker 3: fucking with it, Okay. But what that showed me is
Speaker 3: that you pre you, you had a predetermined way of feeling.
Speaker 3: You feel a way already, and.
Speaker 4: So what it does is just it just reveals, it
Speaker 4: just amplifies like all the the naysayers and how they
Speaker 4: how they's just like, bro the.
Speaker 3: South, Atlanta's been running ship the South. I've been having
Speaker 3: it for having that away fifteen years plus. Right, you
Speaker 3: can the credit. How you can go with the Dungeon family, go,
Speaker 3: you can go however far back you want to go. Right, Nobody, nobody.
Speaker 3: I've never heard anybody say that something sounds too Atlanta.
Speaker 3: I've been doing this shit twenty years, literally, twenty two
Speaker 3: thousand and five. Yeah, twenty years, two thousand and five,
Speaker 3: so this will be my twentieth year in the music business,
Speaker 3: and I've never heard anybody say this should sound too Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Not one person, have you? Nope? But have you heard
Speaker 1: if you heard the term too West Coast? Yes, I know,
Speaker 1: because that's how niggas feel.
Speaker 3: That's okay, But tell me how that's how you feel
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, and so like for me,
Speaker 3: that's why, that's why I've been so vocal, Because I've been,
Speaker 3: I've been, and me and him talked about it too.
Speaker 1: I've been yelling this for the last twenty years.
Speaker 3: Hey, push our line, push our line, push our line,
Speaker 3: because that's what everybody else is gonna do.
Speaker 1: That's just what it is.
Speaker 4: And I feel like even the whole situation is has
Speaker 4: magnified the talent and the essence of you know what
Speaker 4: the West Coast is. I want to ask you, though,
Speaker 4: do you feel like depending on what neighborhood people are from,
Speaker 4: that that kind of hinders with pushing the agenda of
Speaker 4: the West Coast music?
Speaker 1: Do that hinder? What does that hinder?
Speaker 4: Like, Like if somebody's from this neighborhood and you know,
Speaker 4: they can't do music.
Speaker 1: Together because our politics. Our politics is probably number three
Speaker 1: on the list gotta be number one, It's number three
Speaker 1: on the list from things that hold us back? What's
Speaker 1: number one? Number one is demographics?
Speaker 3: Okay, our demographic and not even in California, Western Texas.
Speaker 3: I mean, it do all depend on how much nerding.
Speaker 3: I'm a nerd, so I study like migration routes like
Speaker 3: Oregon Trail type shit.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know, if you look
Speaker 1: at land masses. There's this graph on the internet where
Speaker 1: if you.
Speaker 3: Look at where the largest bodies of water are, that's
Speaker 3: what civilization settle, right, because of agriculture and land development
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Not that many black people went west
Speaker 3: because you couldn't afford you have that money to go west. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, a lot of y'all stayed
Speaker 3: here south. Even the Midwest was kind of far. That's
Speaker 3: why it's called the Men and West because they thought
Speaker 3: that that was middle way, midway through to the West coast,
Speaker 3: which is not if you know what Chicago is, that's
Speaker 3: not even close.
Speaker 1: That's not that's not close at all. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Ohio, Ohio on three hour time, they were just like, y'all,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, that's not middle or nothing.
Speaker 1: You feel me?
Speaker 3: So anyway, long story short, that's number one is our demographic.
Speaker 3: It's more Meskans, Spaniards, et cetera, not black people. That's
Speaker 3: number one that hold us back because you can't relate
Speaker 3: to that and not not to be like that, but
Speaker 3: white people came and stole that land from the Spaniards.
Speaker 3: Came the Spaniards and the the Caucasians came and stole
Speaker 3: that from the Mesicans and shit like that. So technically
Speaker 3: that's their land. So when people be like all this
Speaker 3: Trump shit sitting niggas back, bro, y'all took it from them.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Los Angeles, that's not an
Speaker 3: American word. Sandina, that's not a Mexican that's not an
Speaker 3: American word.
Speaker 1: Our ship, all our.
Speaker 3: Ship, all that stuff down there is it's not. That's
Speaker 3: Latin culture, you know what I'm saying. So it's just
Speaker 3: different than yeah saying anything. Yeah, all those streets are
Speaker 3: are are not like if you look at textas same
Speaker 3: thing San Antonio, that's Latin culture. That's no white people
Speaker 3: was like, this is San Antonio.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I'm just saying, it's it's deeper.
Speaker 2: Thank So it's number two.
Speaker 1: Number two would be sound music. So West Coast music.
Speaker 2: I do think that your music stays there. But I
Speaker 2: still like it though, because when I come.
Speaker 4: There now, I love the West Coast Coast music different.
Speaker 1: So West Coast quote unquote traditional West Coast music. When
Speaker 1: you hear it, you don't know.
Speaker 3: People went like, I got a lot of ship for
Speaker 3: being on DDG streaming because I was talking about this
Speaker 3: ship and he don't know music, and it wasn't this
Speaker 3: he said, he don't know music. I'm a music person first,
Speaker 3: So my problem is I often have music conversations with
Speaker 3: non music niggas. Right, But the music that's the sound
Speaker 3: aditional West Coast music is a derivative of funk.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Funk it's baselines, base lines, and tempo yunk music. So
Speaker 3: Southern music is derived from blues, right, which is why
Speaker 3: it's slow. Y'all think it's fast because all the producers
Speaker 3: producing double time. Most of the producers they producing, they
Speaker 3: able to. They fruity lose they producing and double time.
Speaker 3: So if they say they play a song like Wicked
Speaker 3: is seventy nine bpm, that it was produced that double
Speaker 3: that as opposed to it being like if it's eight
Speaker 3: BPM's produced at one sixty, you feel me there's now
Speaker 3: this is some nerd shit for the for the kids.
Speaker 3: But if you're playing that song most and if you
Speaker 3: look in at DJ's computer, it's probably at one eight
Speaker 3: when it's really seventy nine, you feel.
Speaker 1: Because they speed it up.
Speaker 2: No, it's just produced in double.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the high hats and the drums and shit
Speaker 3: move faster. So, because Southern music is rooted in blues
Speaker 3: and West Coast music is rooted in funk, it's automatically segregated.
Speaker 3: So when you hear a song you say that sound
Speaker 3: like a West Coast song?
Speaker 1: What what makes you say that? It's always going to
Speaker 1: be the baseline?
Speaker 3: For instance, I had I wanted talking to Joe Budden, right,
Speaker 3: I said, Joe, has anybody ever told you that pump
Speaker 3: it Up sound like a West Coast song? He's like, never,
Speaker 3: I said, I know, But pumping Up is one hundred
Speaker 3: and five bpm, so is most a lot of these
Speaker 3: West Coast This.
Speaker 1: Is one hundred hundred yeah.
Speaker 3: So but when people hear tempo now, they automatically think
Speaker 3: as a West Coast song because of because of Claire
Speaker 3: Drip is one hundred epm metro metro. He's he's a scientist,
Speaker 3: so he's good at what he does, but he produced
Speaker 3: in ours. I said this eight years ago. I said,
Speaker 3: the first person to make a trap song with rhythmic tempo.
Speaker 3: Now I'm using radio terms, it's going to go to
Speaker 3: the bank. Rick Clair Drip still getting played to this day,
Speaker 3: but it's one hundred EPM record producing with trap songs. Dude,
Speaker 3: that sound like a West Coast record to you, not
Speaker 3: really sonically, but it got tempo which automatically is associated
Speaker 3: with West Coast temper.
Speaker 1: And translates over there better too.
Speaker 4: Is what I realized, because even even when you you
Speaker 4: looking at like I remember when I was in LA
Speaker 4: and I was just to the radio. I was like, damn, man, Okay.
Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, damn man, I heard like.
Speaker 1: I was in the cars, like damn. I don't heard
Speaker 1: like five Chris Brown records. Then I did. I get
Speaker 1: to Chris House.
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, you're all on the radio here. But
Speaker 4: I understand he's like an alien in what he does
Speaker 4: because he knows the BPM, the time link, everything that
Speaker 4: he did.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I never thought that.
Speaker 2: I was like, I never would think that.
Speaker 1: You thought like this. He's like, yeah, that's why he know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but here's the secret throw and this would
Speaker 3: always tell people you got Jermaine Duprie. JD is my
Speaker 3: goal Number one on the list best of all time, right, JD.
Speaker 3: You got Doctor Dre, you got Timbaland, you got Swiss,
Speaker 3: you got Little John who do you know could accidentally
Speaker 3: be successful for thirty years?
Speaker 1: Nobody. They know some shit, they know and they know something.
Speaker 1: That's my point.
Speaker 3: They know some music most as much as people go
Speaker 3: in to booth. And I'm for the freestyle and I'm
Speaker 3: feeling music is a formula. It's a recipe, and the
Speaker 3: best recipes is recipes that's been perfected.
Speaker 1: And you cook that motherfucker over and over again. That's
Speaker 1: all this shit is. Yeah, and I and I appreciate.
Speaker 4: Like I was telling Ferrari, I said, man, the things
Speaker 4: that most uh that's fascinating to me is longevity, right
Speaker 4: because even in the spaces that that we're in, like it,
Speaker 4: it's hard to be in this business for for a
Speaker 4: real long time and you see giants collide like what
Speaker 4: you've seen with Kadot and what you've seen with Drake,
Speaker 4: and these guys have been in the game for a
Speaker 4: long time, and I've seen that that Drake is pushing
Speaker 4: the envelope that he felt like that record was like
Speaker 4: amplified against him to to dilute, you know, his his
Speaker 4: negotiation when he going to the label. You you feel
Speaker 4: like that that record was pushed the agenda to, you know,
Speaker 4: to dilute his The record.
Speaker 1: Is a jam, that's a good It's a slap, just
Speaker 1: like when you make a slap. Yeah, everybody gonna play it.
Speaker 3: They're gonna mean it, They're gonna post it, they're gonna
Speaker 3: retweet it like it's just a slap. It's not crazy,
Speaker 3: it's not It's not this consorted effort to to the
Speaker 3: demise of one individual. It's just that what I think
Speaker 3: what's fan in the flames is that people don't want
Speaker 3: to come to grips with the reality of things. The
Speaker 3: reality of things is, hey, bro, we call it coming outside.
Speaker 3: You come off the porch.
Speaker 1: Right When I used to spend summers, I used to
Speaker 1: spend summers and content with my cousin Ian and he
Speaker 1: lived on the street called Chester and right down right
Speaker 1: next down the street, it's south Side Park.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Shot shout to pun So
Speaker 3: it's south Side Park right there. I used to be
Speaker 3: afraid to go outside because I know I gotta go
Speaker 3: to the park. But what happens is you can't just
Speaker 3: be over there all the time and not go outside.
Speaker 3: I think what happens is the more you get to
Speaker 3: stay inside, reality starts to shift.
Speaker 1: For you, and outside don't become real.
Speaker 3: Right, So I think what happens is the longer you stay,
Speaker 3: you up here and you couldn't possibly fathom not being here.
Speaker 3: And so when our reality started, you go to the
Speaker 3: park and get your ass whooped. You like, but I'm here. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: you're not here at the park. At the park, you
Speaker 3: with a nigga who lost the fight. It's simple, it's
Speaker 3: not it's not complicated.
Speaker 1: You make it. You make it a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: You make it, You make it a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: But I do feel like.
Speaker 4: I do feel like these are these are two gigantic
Speaker 4: artists that like, at some point could just come together
Speaker 4: and you know, coexist.
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. You don't think that you
Speaker 1: mean coming together.
Speaker 4: Like what I mean, not like like we friends, but
Speaker 4: like the in the sense of being like you know,
Speaker 4: like I respect I respect the battle, I respect your craft.
Speaker 4: It could have been that way, but you think it
Speaker 4: got too personal. People start mentioning family member absolutely.
Speaker 1: Something that Glasses told me fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3: Because I'm a jokester. I do pranks on niggas. I'm
Speaker 3: that guy, right, I like to I'm a funny jokester.
Speaker 3: And one thing he set me down. He say, look
Speaker 3: cuz everybody ain't playing. I only have to be told
Speaker 3: that one time. Some people learn by putting a hand
Speaker 3: in the fire over and over again. I learned from
Speaker 3: watching other people crash. I don't have to crash, So
Speaker 3: for me, I only have to be told that one
Speaker 3: time to understand, Oh, everybody ain't playing. So somebody if
Speaker 3: BT if BT is telling me like, hey, bro, like,
Speaker 3: we're gonna go outside and we can get to it.
Speaker 3: But nigga, don't pull my braids. We're gonna It's called
Speaker 3: a friendly, A friendly fake. A friendly is reserved for
Speaker 3: people you have respect for, are you friends with, or
Speaker 3: you have a relationship with.
Speaker 1: That's what a friendly is where I'm from. A friendly
Speaker 1: is not for an OP or an enemy or somebody
Speaker 1: who is as an offender. Right offenders get we call
Speaker 1: it getting packed or maxed out. There's no opportunity for retribution,
Speaker 1: there's no conversation. It's just when I see you as
Speaker 1: own and stuff. Right, So that wasn't that wasn't a thing.
Speaker 1: But if I offer you a friendly and then you
Speaker 1: ship on the friendly, now it's scorched earth. Gotcha. Now,
Speaker 1: it's like one of us getting packed out.
Speaker 3: Now, it don't matter what happened to you. Because I
Speaker 3: offered you the friendly you pull I put you offered
Speaker 3: me the friendly. I did the one thing you told
Speaker 3: me not to do. It's just pull your braids during
Speaker 3: our our friendly. Because a friendly me and you go outside,
Speaker 3: we run the fairy one and then we go eat.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, man, that was that was
Speaker 3: a good ship you whatever, that's a friendly. You told
Speaker 3: me the only thing that's off limits djhed is don't
Speaker 3: pull my braids. And I pull your braids. Now it's
Speaker 3: no longer friendly because you you told me what the
Speaker 3: line was, and I was like, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So once I crossed that line and at that point,
Speaker 3: whatever happens happens.
Speaker 4: Now, what do you feel about all the stuff with
Speaker 4: Like what you know when you look at like the
Speaker 4: West Coast right, like, well, I see a lot of media.
Speaker 4: I see like a lot of you know, people that
Speaker 4: are gang affiliated talking about certain things on camera and
Speaker 4: stuff like that. Like how you feel about all the
Speaker 4: stuff that's going on with like people are getting locked
Speaker 4: up from doing you know, podcasts and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I don't participate in it. I don't even. I don't even.
Speaker 3: I don't one thing I always since I started doing
Speaker 3: radio or broadcasting. I don't talk about street shit on
Speaker 3: the air. I don't interview street niggas about street shit.
Speaker 3: That ain't none of my business. I'm a non affiliate.
Speaker 3: What am I doing talking about street shit? M You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Even when like certain things happen,
Speaker 3: like when Nipsey got murdered, right, people wanted me to
Speaker 3: have conversations like that ain't on air conversation you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like that's that's something.
Speaker 2: Did you want to have a conversation or you just knew? Nah,
Speaker 2: I'm not speaking on that.
Speaker 3: No, it's no reason, it's no point because to me, again,
Speaker 3: like I just told et, like everything everybody ain't playing
Speaker 3: and everything ain't content to me, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like Rory got kids, right, that ain't content to me.
Speaker 3: No matter what happened in Rory's life, you ain't never
Speaker 3: gonna see me on the radiol It could be nigga,
Speaker 3: his son got charged with this or his nigga he
Speaker 3: got caught cheating and he got a baby on the
Speaker 3: way over here, and everything ain't content to me.
Speaker 4: Which is never happened, by the way, but I feel
Speaker 4: like you kind of take you kind of take it
Speaker 4: like how we take it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: So we had a conversation with Ray Daniels and yeah,
Speaker 4: shout out, shout out to Ray Daniels and meant to
Speaker 4: tell you know, okay, uh, you know.
Speaker 1: Academics and no.
Speaker 4: Jumper felt a certain type of way about the things
Speaker 4: that he were discussing during our.
Speaker 2: Show, and he basically said, we can't talk like that
Speaker 2: in Atlanta because people are gonna pull.
Speaker 1: Up on you. What was y'all talking about, Well, we
Speaker 1: was talking.
Speaker 4: We was talking about the fact that, like, you know,
Speaker 4: we feel like certain certain cities get away with a
Speaker 4: lot of stuff with like how people talk about certain
Speaker 4: stuff on it you know, like we're not street guys,
Speaker 4: so we don't feel the need we should be talking
Speaker 4: about certain.
Speaker 1: Things on camera.
Speaker 4: And that's basically what Ray Daniels saying, like, Hey, we
Speaker 4: don't do that here because we outside and at some point.
Speaker 2: You can literally find go on my Instagram and know
Speaker 2: where I'm going to be at.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're telling people where we're at. Hey, tonight, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna be hosting here.
Speaker 2: Talk about it so people will pull up on you
Speaker 2: because we outside who have a problem with that.
Speaker 1: The people he mentioned mentioned academics. They said, what was
Speaker 1: a problem though they basically said that Atlanta has nothing
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 4: Well, No, Jumper basically said Atlanta had no media presence
Speaker 4: going on, and academics felt like that people like media
Speaker 4: personalities were scared to talk about like certain things.
Speaker 3: And he said, but that's easy to talk, that's easy
Speaker 3: to say from people who don't be nowhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's and that I feel the same type.
Speaker 1: I've ever seen that individual anywhere. Nope, me either.
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, man, I won't I wasn't even tripping
Speaker 2: on their opinion because I'd be outside. So I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm very easy to find.
Speaker 1: It's not about being easy, see but this is my thing.
Speaker 2: Let me, let me, let me finish. I would say
Speaker 2: I'm very easy to find. Therefore, I make sure I'm
Speaker 2: very intelligent with the things I talk about, what I
Speaker 2: talk about, who I talk about, and the things that
Speaker 2: I don't touch on don't concern me. I'm mind my business.
Speaker 2: But then again, you know, I still gotta do my job.
Speaker 2: I do my job with as much respect as possible.
Speaker 2: And I know that there's certain every like you said,
Speaker 2: everybody ain't playing, so therefore certain things I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: speak on period.
Speaker 1: But also it's not even so.
Speaker 3: There's this thing right where Glasses always talks about game
Speaker 3: banging and how people I didn't get it at first.
Speaker 3: He did because I grew up around it, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I grew up on the East Side.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of gangs over there, and I was
Speaker 3: a product of my environment. Not I'll never join the gang,
Speaker 3: but you know, I got in a little bit of
Speaker 3: trouble early on or whatever. But he always talks about
Speaker 3: like I didn't. I thought game bang was about geography,
Speaker 3: like why would you claim streets you don't own?
Speaker 1: Like I thought very linear. I thought very digital, like
Speaker 1: just black and white.
Speaker 3: And as I start to hang out with the hommies
Speaker 3: more and understand different things, it's not about that it's
Speaker 3: just your bond. It's it's your friend group with your commonality.
Speaker 3: But more importantly, what it teaches you is manhood and accountability.
Speaker 3: Because BT represents the Baller Alert Show. Rory represents the
Speaker 3: Baller Alert Show. So if BT jump out there and
Speaker 3: say fuck them over there on the Baller Alert.
Speaker 1: Show, he represents the collective fact.
Speaker 3: Now one person is responsible for the entire movement, right,
Speaker 3: so now everybody has to answer for this one person.
Speaker 3: People who never played Little league or who never played
Speaker 3: communal sports. I played baseball, I played basketball. People who
Speaker 3: don't go to the park like I talked about, people
Speaker 3: who don't hang out or don't go outside or around around.
Speaker 1: Humans in these ways don't understand that. That's what accountability,
Speaker 1: that's what manhood looks like.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you can just fly for handle and say
Speaker 3: whatever you want to say because there's no accountability stable
Speaker 3: to it. I agree, but also, but also you shouldn't
Speaker 3: waste your time articulating that to people who couldn't understand it.
Speaker 2: And that's why I did. I didn't reply.
Speaker 1: I know he gonna crash.
Speaker 4: I just you know, uh, you know, shout out to Ray.
Speaker 4: But you know, Ray Ray is very much like you know,
Speaker 4: he's proud to be from Atlanta. He's proud, you know,
Speaker 4: and and Ray Ray definitely you know, he he was
Speaker 4: going up and we was all supposed to have a conversation.
Speaker 1: You know, he was gonna go to New York, have
Speaker 1: a conversation, sit down and act. But it never happened.
Speaker 2: But I'm fine. It doesn't matter to me. I'm cool.
Speaker 2: Like I just feel like we're gonna focus on what
Speaker 2: we focusing on, and we're gonna.
Speaker 1: And I feel like certain people do do content the
Speaker 1: way they do content. Look, I like being outside, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So you are outside, I'm outside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: outside is me. So it's stuff. Don't pretend to speaking
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But the thing is, that's what I'm trying to
Speaker 3: explain it. It's not about people can find you. It's
Speaker 3: just about moral compass and manhood ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, accountability, just accountability a man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna say whatever whatever I have said,
Speaker 3: whatever I have said about anybody, I will say to
Speaker 3: them and probably I probably have already told them facts.
Speaker 2: I always lead with that too, because I feel I
Speaker 2: feel I feel like when we did the r Kelly thing,
Speaker 2: m hm, and I said, I said, I love Nick Cary,
Speaker 2: that's my boy.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: But shoot, I've been I've been in settings where people
Speaker 2: play R.
Speaker 1: Kelly.
Speaker 2: It's cool, not tripping, well, I play it. No, that's
Speaker 2: just my personal thing. Everybody got their own personal thing.
Speaker 2: I have no problem hearing R.
Speaker 1: Kelly.
Speaker 2: I just I'm not playing It's okay, that's just me
Speaker 2: bro I'm cool.
Speaker 1: And it's certain people that enjoys the music. But it's
Speaker 1: I'm cool.
Speaker 2: I just don't have it on my laptop to play
Speaker 2: it for you, So don't ask me.
Speaker 1: I think that's cat mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Then cap, you don't have no R. Kelly in your laptop.
Speaker 3: I don't not a feature, not a song or verse.
Speaker 2: Nothing, something that he wrote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if he's on it. No, if he's on
Speaker 1: a song, you don't have any of your laptop. I'll
Speaker 1: have to Yeah. I would love to search your Sorado
Speaker 1: for the word Kelly. That's cool. It's a feature of something.
Speaker 1: It's no way you have eradicated all our Kelly from
Speaker 1: your Sorado.
Speaker 2: Longing to take well, you just type in Kelly and
Speaker 2: then you do control a, and then you just hit
Speaker 2: the lead, type in Kelly, even search bar, control A delete.
Speaker 1: Okay, you call it CAP.
Speaker 2: I have my laptop, get it.
Speaker 1: No, man, we have five minutes left. We could do
Speaker 1: some BTS though I have my laptop. It's actually with
Speaker 1: DJing today, yo head. Would you would you ever consider
Speaker 1: going back to radio? I'll do radio, but serious six
Speaker 1: M yeah, serious, but you know format radio show radio.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would consider it, but at this point, if
Speaker 3: it's if it's not syndicating effective immediately with gene views
Speaker 3: of views Mann, she fine, you're doing a great Jobews
Speaker 3: if it's not that, I'm hold your own too.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 1: I'm not interested. I just there's nothing there for me
Speaker 1: outside of what I'm doing.
Speaker 4: So with the state of radio in l A, how
Speaker 4: do you how do you feel, like, how do you
Speaker 4: feel about how that's transitioning?
Speaker 1: I mean the state of radios.
Speaker 3: I mean radio is always going to be a loving
Speaker 3: me so I'm not I don't have anything negative to
Speaker 3: say about it, but I think like the state of
Speaker 3: it is always in crisis because the way that radio
Speaker 3: is done is traditionally archaic.
Speaker 1: To me, it's just antiquated.
Speaker 3: It's it's no innovation, it's no you gotta think about it,
Speaker 3: like even right now. Three ways that radio used to
Speaker 3: lead in culture, concerts, records, and personalities. All the biggest
Speaker 3: personalities got on ship right, our biggest concerts for festivals,
Speaker 3: now records. Everybody get the record at nine o'clock or
Speaker 3: midnight out here, so radio is.
Speaker 1: Not doing anything.
Speaker 2: It's nine o'clock, there, is it not?
Speaker 1: Yea, we get the regular Yeah, we get it midnight,
Speaker 1: we get the record at nine.
Speaker 2: So y'all get it first.
Speaker 1: Technically it's the same same time. It's just different time.
Speaker 1: Time works.
Speaker 2: Brain freeze, yeah, brain freeze.
Speaker 1: I forgot in the three ways that radio was radio
Speaker 1: to charge. It doesn't. It doesn't take the lead anymore.
Speaker 1: So I would love to change.
Speaker 2: Those because radio used to be the only source spoil
Speaker 2: for a very long time.
Speaker 3: I like the Internet for a level in the plane,
Speaker 3: the playing field. But at the same time, radio has
Speaker 3: to adapt to the times, not the other way around.
Speaker 1: I always said that we have to go to where
Speaker 1: the people are. You got to meet people where they are,
Speaker 1: because before I can't expect people to come to you.
Speaker 1: Before it used to be newspaper, television, radio, that's it,
Speaker 1: that's it. And then technology took over. If it ain't
Speaker 1: on this right here.
Speaker 3: Now everybody got an app, everybody got extremely service. I
Speaker 3: just think that right now is the well Rail missed it.
Speaker 3: But there's a point in time where it's gonna be
Speaker 3: too late.
Speaker 2: I just think something's gonna buy radio and it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a big.
Speaker 1: Merge one day. I see Amazon buying.
Speaker 3: iHeart I see Serious Cyrus whatever, Serious buy what radio buying?
Speaker 1: What radio?
Speaker 2: It's gonna be some type of merger.
Speaker 1: I think Serious is. I think Serious is that Apple Music.
Speaker 2: Something's gonna happen where.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, Apple have they own radio now they don't,
Speaker 4: But I think I think what Serious XM is doing.
Speaker 4: What they did with Alex Cooper is something that I
Speaker 4: feel like is a game changes. So Alex Cooper has
Speaker 4: a podcast to call it Daddy Podcast. Uh. They gave
Speaker 4: her one hundred million dollars to acquire her podcast to
Speaker 4: be you know, to have them to you know, be
Speaker 4: the new house for it.
Speaker 3: But it's just distribution at that point. But radio is
Speaker 3: never going to go in here because it's the free
Speaker 3: medium media. And every time you have a free medium,
Speaker 3: it's always going how do.
Speaker 2: You make it entertaining enough to get more listeners?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 3: I think the people in power, the people in power
Speaker 3: need to get innovative and stop being afraid of change
Speaker 3: before a check.
Speaker 1: Like everybody. Everybody is a survival mode. I get it.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you evolve or die, and
Speaker 1: I think it evolve. I think.
Speaker 3: I think the lack of innovation is where you go
Speaker 3: to die. Like for me, I always like for me,
Speaker 3: I always make people make a decision. I fuck with
Speaker 3: him or don't fuck with him, because indifference is where
Speaker 3: you go to die. It's like, oh, he cool. I
Speaker 3: never want to be all he cool. I either want
Speaker 3: you to fuck with me or don't fuck with me.
Speaker 3: Either way, I got some I gotta positive just some science.
Speaker 3: But I got a positive charge or negative charge. I
Speaker 3: need approachon or new trying to facts one of the two.
Speaker 2: All right, well, listen, man, we appreciate you pulling up
Speaker 2: on his brother Lakers and seven Lakers and seven before
Speaker 2: we go yeah, it's alway went wait when this episode, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: this episode comes out before.
Speaker 4: Because you said you said off camera, you said you
Speaker 4: made a certain prediction, and you said this prediction is
Speaker 4: gonna be accurate as well.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just, I'm just I'll trust my intuition
Speaker 3: and most of the times I'm shooting from the hip,
Speaker 3: But I'm always I'm never gonna not say Lakers.
Speaker 2: Okay, my biases are about the Clippers, though.
Speaker 1: Fun with the Clippers.
