Speaker 2: Your boy in r E, d J e f N
Speaker 2: and his drink taf Now.
Speaker 1: Now we've been doing this for eight years and we
Speaker 1: like to do our due diligence. When I tell you,
Speaker 1: when I was doing research on this man, it was
Speaker 1: one of the.
Speaker 2: Funniest I've ever done. This man has put us on
Speaker 2: to AI in two thousand and ten.
Speaker 1: He is hands down one of the best producers in
Speaker 1: the world. He can make any type of music. He
Speaker 1: has made every type of music. He is a writer, producer.
Speaker 2: Fashion icon, f one representative.
Speaker 1: To me, he's just one of the he's He is
Speaker 1: hands down one of the most unique individuals.
Speaker 2: In this world.
Speaker 4: Thanks bro, he is.
Speaker 1: In case you don't know who were talking about, we
Speaker 1: talking about the one, the only, the impeccable motherfucker.
Speaker 2: I'm off top drinking some Japanese whiskey to you. So,
Speaker 2: I watching.
Speaker 1: That video from twenty and ten when you're speaking about
Speaker 1: AI and what it's going to do almost was scary,
Speaker 1: Like I had goose watching it because you hit it
Speaker 1: on the nose. You said exactly what AI is and.
Speaker 2: Did you did you? How did you research that?
Speaker 4: Like? So, I like to hunt. I like to go
Speaker 4: out and just get as much information as possible, pattern
Speaker 4: match and then like project out what is the next
Speaker 4: five to ten years look like. So at that point
Speaker 4: in time, I was hanging out in my t a
Speaker 4: lot when Black Eyed Peas would go out.
Speaker 7: And tour Boston.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. And there was a professor by the name
Speaker 4: rest in Peace, professor, Professor Patrick Winston, who was the
Speaker 4: head of AI at m I T And I was
Speaker 4: like really just hyped on, you know, the concept of AI,
Speaker 4: the promise of AI. And at that point in time,
Speaker 4: the world was in a AI winching, meaning the folks
Speaker 4: that were developing AI. The funding was sparse and not
Speaker 4: a lot of like folks was really hip. What years
Speaker 4: is exactly wrong? When I was going to tea hanging
Speaker 4: out in professional Patrick Winston's class, that was two thousand
Speaker 4: and seven, eight nine, so super early and development wow.
Speaker 4: And so I was so like And then at that
Speaker 4: point in time I started working at Intel. I was
Speaker 4: in the futurist department at Intel. Wow. And the whole
Speaker 4: premise of these futurist departments, like you're supposed to be
Speaker 4: super plausible. If somebody shows you something, you can't just
Speaker 4: give you opinion. If you don't like it, you got
Speaker 4: to give them, you know, reasons on why you don't
Speaker 4: like it, and then how to improve it. If you
Speaker 4: don't have a reason on how to improve it, then
Speaker 4: save your opinion.
Speaker 7: Like that's and then because where it can go.
Speaker 4: That's how you're like super valuable in these types of
Speaker 4: brainstorming sessions.
Speaker 7: And so my first couple of sessions.
Speaker 4: They kept calling me back because I would, you know,
Speaker 4: look around corners, see how like certain technologies will play out.
Speaker 4: So from that like projecting out like wow, if a
Speaker 4: computer could do this right now, and we're moving to
Speaker 4: digital and napture happened in two thousand and compute is
Speaker 4: getting even more indistinguishable. Like a piano sounds pretty a
Speaker 4: synth piano sounds like a freaking you know, a real
Speaker 4: big ass you know, Yamaha Steinway. And if compute and
Speaker 4: synthesizers can do like that, well then that means the
Speaker 4: projection of that well, we just a matter of time
Speaker 4: before the computer will understand the whole entire English language,
Speaker 4: being able to take all the timbers of the voice
Speaker 4: high notes, low notes, and you'll be able to type
Speaker 4: in lyrics and the machine will sing it, say it,
Speaker 4: produce it. And that was unheard of in two thousand
Speaker 4: and nine, because the Transformer wasn't the Transformer paper wasn't
Speaker 4: written yet. So folks that don't know what the Transformer paper,
Speaker 4: the t and chat GPT comes from.
Speaker 8: The Google Transformer paper the t ST contused with decepticons
Speaker 8: and autobots.
Speaker 4: Turns out that ain't too sci fi, that that actually
Speaker 4: could come to it. That that that's plausa the robotic Transformer. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that ain't too far to be able to have like
Speaker 4: some type of machine take a different form and speaking ship.
Speaker 4: Back in the eighties, when we were watching cartoons that
Speaker 4: were like, yeah, right, that ain't real, you know, It's
Speaker 4: like Aladdin wasn't real the genie in the bottle.
Speaker 7: Turns out that's just real.
Speaker 1: Right, So I want to tell you a story. I
Speaker 1: knew I was going to start off with this. I
Speaker 1: went to go see Buster Rhymes in the studio. Bust
Speaker 1: was in the studio with you, right, and at the
Speaker 1: time that you're so on fire, Like I was so
Speaker 1: scared to talk to you, right, I was like until
Speaker 1: I actually mentioned and I realized that you was cool
Speaker 1: as ship.
Speaker 2: Right, But I don't know if you had knew.
Speaker 1: This guy in the hallway, like you went to the
Speaker 1: like it was going somewhere and I don't know if
Speaker 1: you knew this guy, but you see a Mexican dude, right,
Speaker 1: and you.
Speaker 2: Was like oh that he and I looked at you.
Speaker 2: I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Like you turned full fledged Mexicans like I saw you.
Speaker 2: And for years I was telling people this story right,
Speaker 2: and people was like I was, I was, I was
Speaker 2: spreading in the rumor. I was like, man, I think,
Speaker 2: well I am is a Mexican gang member.
Speaker 4: I was telling.
Speaker 1: People, was like, no, you're crazy in your wild until
Speaker 1: you did Big Boys neighborhood just now and you actually
Speaker 1: did the accident, and now I actually got to see it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you finally got me under the
Speaker 1: hot water, Like because so, I guess this is a
Speaker 1: long question you're from.
Speaker 2: He's supposed to ask this.
Speaker 4: See mom, don your fucking life like I grew up
Speaker 4: right there on a street and Olympic and no disrespectful
Speaker 4: because a lot of motherfuckers are gonna hear me and
Speaker 4: ship They're gonna think I'm clowning, disrespectful, not even home.
Speaker 4: This is when I grew up food, This is how
Speaker 4: I was. Don everybody in my neighbor out, they know
Speaker 4: me like what's up? And in there in the way
Speaker 4: they're watching this ship, like Willie don You're you're not
Speaker 4: a shoutouts out, what's up? What's up? What's up here?
Speaker 4: Drink chet, you know, don't tell my fucking mom I'm drinking.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you because.
Speaker 1: For years, growing up in New York, black and brown
Speaker 1: people are like Simon Taylors together.
Speaker 2: A lot of times.
Speaker 1: When I went to the Los Angeles, I didn't see that.
Speaker 1: So me hearing you like it like that was the
Speaker 1: first time I said I heard that because I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: like you know, like you.
Speaker 4: Know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I was trying to say. It's like.
Speaker 1: In the East Coast was so like intertwined, but in
Speaker 1: the West Coast it's not.
Speaker 2: But when I met, when I, you know, found out
Speaker 2: your situation, I was like, oh ship.
Speaker 4: I was signing Easy. I signed Easy when I was
Speaker 4: sixteen years old. And he was like, ain't nigga the
Speaker 4: mother's fucking essays?
Speaker 7: Love your ass, nigga.
Speaker 4: I was like, because he knew people from my neighborhood,
Speaker 4: he was like, nigga, you crazy nigga, Like look.
Speaker 7: At how you dressed nigga.
Speaker 4: I always thought you was weird niggas, Like now now
Speaker 4: makes sense, nigga because you like because everybody thought we
Speaker 4: was either Dominican or Panamanians. It makes sense right because
Speaker 4: if you like Krispy Dark like me, and you had
Speaker 4: like growing up, I had a thick Mexican accent. It
Speaker 4: was like there's not many Afro Mexicans that people know.
Speaker 7: Or blowlos or blowlas.
Speaker 4: A blowlo is a black trolo, and a blowla is
Speaker 4: a black trola like, and there's a lot of there's
Speaker 4: a lot of blolos food, and like when I go home,
Speaker 4: it'll be like sock check food. Sock check is trollos.
Speaker 4: They were high socks, oh ship, like socks be high
Speaker 4: all the time.
Speaker 2: When I play handball, my socks is high.
Speaker 4: All the time, like right now, like my ship's high up.

Speaker 4: drink chan food socks. I'm like, hell yeah, I love.
Speaker 7: I love my neighborhood. I love I love Boyle.
Speaker 4: Heights, like to to my heart, like like I went
Speaker 4: back to my neighborhood. I started my school teaching kids
Speaker 4: robotics and computer science in two thousand and eight and
Speaker 4: now that I had sixty five kids in my program.
Speaker 4: Now with my partnership with LAUSD, we serve over fourteen
Speaker 4: thousand students in LA. We win four hundred schools or
Speaker 4: robotics computer science like Royal Heights, East, LA. Like my
Speaker 4: people still there. My aunt works at the homeless shelter.
Speaker 4: My uncle still to this day is the basketball coach
Speaker 4: keeping the kids off the street. Like that. If I
Speaker 4: wasn't doing music, orf I didn't have success, we would
Speaker 4: still be in the neighborhood. We would still be doing
Speaker 4: the work that we do across the street from our school.
Speaker 4: My aunt works at the police station. Like we got
Speaker 4: a six four nine four five. That's my aunt.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 4: Every time I go back home, be like, hey Willie,
Speaker 4: we love your aunt full, your whole family dog. You
Speaker 4: know you guys are really cool for the neighborhood. Like
Speaker 4: my life to this day black and brown. It was
Speaker 4: always feuding in LA, but they showed my family love
Speaker 4: from the fifties. We've been in the projects in since
Speaker 4: the fifties, Wow, like projects. Like when I moved my
Speaker 4: mom oft to projects, we was crying like I'll be back,
Speaker 4: so I still go back every time I'm home. I
Speaker 4: go back on Sundays like clockwork. When I'm home, I
Speaker 4: still shop at the supermarket on Thanksgiving to get my
Speaker 4: maside to make my fucking Tamali's. I'm like, for real,
Speaker 4: that's life. So it's a part of your DNA. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2: Let's speak. I was so happy when you do.
Speaker 1: I told y'all because I didn't know if I was
Speaker 1: catching like a moment, like I didn't. I didn't know
Speaker 1: what I saw when I saw it, But I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: he's a mannerism. It's the same like it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a certain thing like Puerto Ricans this.
Speaker 2: No, you can't say the Mexican. You just can't. It's
Speaker 2: in you. It's not and.
Speaker 7: So but it's a center the thing.
Speaker 4: I'm not in no way am I being disrespectful or
Speaker 4: like because the folks, for folks that may see it,
Speaker 4: and they don't know where I come from. I know
Speaker 4: what that looks like. That looks like a man like
Speaker 4: what's this fuckerre doing? Dog? Like this fucker rooms like No,
Speaker 4: it's not like that's how I was raised. I can't
Speaker 4: help where I was born and raised. I can't help
Speaker 4: like the community that that is a part of my
Speaker 4: the bricks, it's a part of my like my structure,
Speaker 4: and I love it. I love it. Like I went,
Speaker 4: there's this artist by the name of Juwan Sebastian rest
Speaker 4: in Peace.
Speaker 7: He's like a regional.
Speaker 4: Hero icon and then from Mexico, and so I did
Speaker 4: a song with Juwan Sebastian, like way before people were
Speaker 4: doing regional stuff. In two thousand and uh eleven to twelve,
Speaker 4: I flew down to Mexico, worked with Juwan Sebastian, called
Speaker 4: my next door neighbors like Calvin.
Speaker 7: No, not Calvin, it was Noad, no wad. Put your
Speaker 7: dad on the phone.
Speaker 4: Food. He was like, fucking Willie Dog. Where you at.
Speaker 7: I'm like, well, I'm in Mexico.
Speaker 4: Food, I want to I want your dad to talk
Speaker 4: to Juan Sebastian, Big, big Fabian his dad's name is Fabian.
Speaker 4: Gets on the phone. He was like, I really talking
Speaker 4: to me in Spanish. I'm like, hey, Fabian, I want
Speaker 4: to introduce you to Juwan Sebastian. No, moms, Wayne, can
Speaker 4: I see how? And he was talking and treating his
Speaker 4: to his hero because when we were growing up, we
Speaker 4: would do posadas like when to bring the Virgin married
Speaker 4: to everybody's house, and because we grew up Baptist Apostolic,
Speaker 4: and so I would just follow the Virgin Mary going
Speaker 4: around the house and.
Speaker 7: Noah's dad would be singing.
Speaker 4: Drunk like whiss up like singing and ship and that
Speaker 4: was a beautiful moment by our little village, our little neighborhood.
Speaker 4: It's like, it's like I said, that that community, that world.
Speaker 4: It's it's why Black Eyed Peace feels foreign, like I
Speaker 4: don't really get we really get where they're from. And
Speaker 4: that's because we were part of this, come from this
Speaker 4: little small cut called Boil Heights.
Speaker 7: We loved hip hop.
Speaker 4: Still to this day, loved hip hop, not just n
Speaker 4: W a people love tribe KMD like we was tagging
Speaker 4: and and and that was our entry point. So for
Speaker 4: folks that didn't understand us, look or didn't understand me,
Speaker 4: I'm a black sikin and love it unapologetic like high
Speaker 4: socks every day. And that resonated internationally, yeah big time.
Speaker 1: I mean, one thing that comes across is Black Eyed
Speaker 1: Peas made global music. Like like I remember me going
Speaker 1: out and getting my first like number one and me
Speaker 1: seeing other people showing up to my concert, Like I
Speaker 1: remember I did Super Doug and there was no there.
Speaker 2: Was no more more not not.
Speaker 1: Not Black people wasn't coming to my concert.
Speaker 2: But it was. It was global. It was bigger than me, right,
Speaker 2: So different racists started to come, and I didn't know
Speaker 2: how to cater to those. To me, To me, every
Speaker 2: time I made global music, I almost made it by mistake.
Speaker 1: To me, global music that you make to me, it
Speaker 1: seems like you deliberately are doing this on purpose to
Speaker 1: please everybody.
Speaker 2: Is that something? No?
Speaker 4: I go on the studio like the scientists, and I
Speaker 4: try to figure out, like, okay, how can this go?
Speaker 4: How can this go as wide and make as much
Speaker 4: impact on this earth as possible. It's like if you tagging,
Speaker 4: you want to get up on the heavens. You want
Speaker 4: that freeway overpass, you want that train that goes through
Speaker 4: all boroughs. If you're tagging in the alleys, only a
Speaker 4: couple of people going to see that tag. So I
Speaker 4: want all city. It's tagging mentality. I want to get up,
Speaker 4: I want landmarks. I want it never to be a race.
Speaker 4: That same mentality, that competitiveness, like oh man, what you
Speaker 4: want top forty ratings? How do I get everywhere? How
Speaker 4: do I get everywhere? I know what the project is like? Right,
Speaker 4: I want to change my projects. I just don't want
Speaker 4: to talk about my projects. I want to go back
Speaker 4: to my projects and change it.
Speaker 7: For the better. And so.
Speaker 4: When I enter the studio, this is the realm that
Speaker 4: I go into that impacts the globe. Why wouldn't you
Speaker 4: want Why My thing is like, why wouldn't I want
Speaker 4: to have business? And you're grind Paraguay? Why don't I
Speaker 4: want to have business in you know, uh, Salvador, Guatemadaa, Nikodawa.
Speaker 7: Chile, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Venezuela.
Speaker 4: Why don't I want to impact Panama and Colombia and
Speaker 4: Cuba and Puerto Rico. Why don't I want to be
Speaker 4: in Kazakhstan? Who's Pakistan? Azurebraijan? Why don't I want to
Speaker 4: be all Lithuania, Estonia? Why don't I want to have
Speaker 4: Russia and Georgia? Why don't I want to be in
Speaker 4: Laos and Cambodia and Philippines and Indonesia and Thailand and
Speaker 4: Japan and South Korea, in Hong Kong and China.
Speaker 7: Why don't India.
Speaker 4: Why don't I want all across the content of Africa.
Speaker 4: Why don't you want to go to Ethiopia? Why don't
Speaker 4: you want to go to Sedan? Why don't you want
Speaker 4: to go liberate folks and show them that black folks.
Speaker 7: Can have global impact?
Speaker 4: And I think it's a setup that black folks don't
Speaker 4: have that global impact perspective. I think they've set us
Speaker 4: up not to want to have global business and be local.
Speaker 4: That's a setup. That's a mindset that, whether we like
Speaker 4: it or not, we've been conditioned not to see ourselves
Speaker 4: as global impactors. Like there's a song called rock Rock
Speaker 4: the Planet Rock. I took that shit person seriously. Oh wait, wait,
Speaker 4: you want to rock the planet, Rock the planet rock?
Speaker 4: Those stop? Like, oh wow, those are coordinates, say no more,
Speaker 4: let's go rock the planet. I just didn't think it
Speaker 4: was like a metaphor. Those are serious coordinates to go
Speaker 4: out do business. Rock Rock the planet, rock, don't stop. Right,
Speaker 4: that's my whole like, let's get it, let's do it
Speaker 4: as big as possible.
Speaker 9: And it's crazy that mentality would be there when it's
Speaker 9: a fact that hip hop is a global phenomenon and
Speaker 9: it has been for a very long time, and we
Speaker 9: just it feels like less and less the United States
Speaker 9: and the and the and the artists here wanting to
Speaker 9: take advantage of that or go further out of of
Speaker 9: their areas and see the global impact and the global
Speaker 9: business they could be doing.
Speaker 7: Yo, bro, the planet is amazing.
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful place to be selling stadiums outside of
Speaker 4: the States arenas by yourself. It's it's a beautiful thing to.
Speaker 7: Be able to do that.
Speaker 4: And I think because I grew up in an all
Speaker 4: Mexican neighborhood, went to an all white school, black family,
Speaker 4: went to all black urch hung out with Filipinos on
Speaker 4: the weekends. Started your group with a Filipino. That is
Speaker 4: the you're a Ruber's Q of all that? Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: l A and what turned out to be the Black
Speaker 4: Eyed Peace.
Speaker 1: Because because like the group is so different, right, remember
Speaker 1: I remember the only people that they can compare you
Speaker 1: guys to was like the foojis right, I remember, Oh.
Speaker 4: No, I also looked like white cleff Okay, but we
Speaker 4: looked like twins.
Speaker 2: Did the comparisons kind of stopped when you guys added
Speaker 2: Fergi to the group.
Speaker 4: No, because the music we were making was it really
Speaker 4: that that? I mean?
Speaker 9: Me as a DJ back then, I didn't never had
Speaker 9: that comparison, Like I never put the I got.
Speaker 4: I got called white clep, really cleft. I'm like music
Speaker 4: because looks what if you look like a duct you?
Speaker 4: So that's just the reality. And so I would always
Speaker 4: tell myself the moment somebody calls white cleft, will I am?
Speaker 4: I made it.
Speaker 2: Tonight? So one time, hold on, I love you.
Speaker 7: I love you Clep. That's like my big brother.
Speaker 4: So one time I had had this concert and uh,
Speaker 4: And I was always in my thing like the moment
Speaker 4: because every time we would do a show we opened
Speaker 4: up for the food.
Speaker 7: We opened up for.
Speaker 4: White cleft on the Smoking Goroose to our first tour,
Speaker 4: and they would always be like, why cleft. I'm like,
Speaker 4: I ain't white cleft. Everywhere I'll go, Why cleft? Why clup?
Speaker 4: And so I always told myself the moment somebody calls
Speaker 4: him will I am?
Speaker 7: Is when I make it.
Speaker 4: So one day we're doing a show at the Central Park,
Speaker 4: some girl comes up to me.
Speaker 7: The little girl says, can I take a picture of you?
Speaker 4: Whill I am? And I'm like, oh sure? And then uh,
Speaker 4: he says, uh. The White Cleff comes up, He's like,
Speaker 4: you know, will my daughter really thinks I look like you.
Speaker 4: I'm like made.
Speaker 10: It like that's crazy, But yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 10: it was a daughter of his family member, but I
Speaker 10: love White Cleft like that dude really would like Busta
Speaker 10: Chuck d you know Cypress Hill Mop that would always
Speaker 10: show us love on our first tour, like man, y'all
Speaker 10: got something.
Speaker 4: Y'all dancing out there because we were like dancers, like
Speaker 4: we wanted to dance all the time and differentiate ourselves
Speaker 4: from folks. But yeah, when your heroes give you love
Speaker 4: and show you you know your recipe, they respect your recipe.
Speaker 4: They may not fuck with it one hundred percent, but
Speaker 4: they respect the recipe. That's all you need. And that
Speaker 4: first like nod to like I see what is you're
Speaker 4: trying to do for me? It was easy. That dude
Speaker 4: just like responsible for my audacity, my ambition, and my
Speaker 4: hunt to go out and be an entrepreneur because I
Speaker 4: saw him not only as an artist but a businessman entrepreneur.
Speaker 4: Take breaking the mold, like why would we sign the ruthless?
Speaker 4: But all the people he could have signed when Dre.
Speaker 4: When Ice Cube and Dre left, why would we sign there?
Speaker 4: I have a song with them called Niggas and Jews
Speaker 4: that we recorded in nineteen ninety two, another song called
Speaker 4: Mary motherfucking Christmas say I right, but still like why
Speaker 4: out of all the people in LA and so I
Speaker 4: take that with like that, that's the only stamp you need.
Speaker 4: Go out there and be yourself. Don't have to try
Speaker 4: to fit in like that, try to fit in your
Speaker 4: How can you fit in when you're your shape? You
Speaker 4: don't even see your shape on the board. So there's
Speaker 4: no need for me to fit in. I just build
Speaker 4: a new table. How did you guys? Specifically you guysn't Easy?
Speaker 4: I used to freestyle and at this wrap back competition
Speaker 4: which is battle People, and so he saw me freestyling
Speaker 4: and signed me just off of my freestyle.
Speaker 2: Really so it wasn't Black Eyed Peas, No.
Speaker 7: No, no, it was a group before that.
Speaker 4: We was in a group before the Black Eyed Peas,
Speaker 4: and we recorded from ninety two to three four five,
Speaker 4: and when he passed away in ninety five, that summer
Speaker 4: we started the Black Eyed Peace.
Speaker 9: One thing we've noticed with Easy is we've been hearing
Speaker 9: a lot of stories of people that he was about
Speaker 9: to mess with or he was gonna sign like he
Speaker 9: wasn't just a game. It's incredible how many lies he
Speaker 9: touched for real.
Speaker 7: No, dude, if.
Speaker 4: He never passed away, I think the whole entire music industry,
Speaker 4: this thing called hip hop would be totally different. Wow,
Speaker 4: the force that he was as an entrepreneur, I don't.
Speaker 7: Know who would have the pillars that we have today.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they would have been able to
Speaker 4: get into the room because he was so dominant as
Speaker 4: an entrepreneur. Label head, style creator, genre creator, star Birther,
Speaker 4: this dude just star finder.
Speaker 7: You know, the dude was was impeccable.
Speaker 1: How difficult was it in the nineties where you know,
Speaker 1: gangst the music was was was was was the forefront
Speaker 1: Domina mean and but and like we was pointed out earlier,
Speaker 1: you guys were deliberately making global music.
Speaker 2: Was that was that? Was that difficult?
Speaker 4: Late nineties?
Speaker 2: Yeah, late night I believe you dropped in ninety eight.
Speaker 7: Right, we dropped in ninety eight.
Speaker 4: So at that point in my life, at that point
Speaker 4: in time, like gangster rap was the business.
Speaker 7: And we were like keeping.
Speaker 4: That that boom bap or that musical conscious you know,
Speaker 4: our version of Tribe Alive because I'm a I'm a
Speaker 4: Although we were signing the Roofless, I based my whole
Speaker 4: entire career and my artistry off of se that Q Tip,
Speaker 4: Trap call quest Day, that song Wow, of course, and
Speaker 4: there's this one song Groove Is in the Heart.
Speaker 7: That recipe to me, that's just.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a black dude with a white girl
Speaker 4: with a freaking dance song that's soulful. That's an incredible record,
Speaker 4: you know that that that to be told me like,
Speaker 4: oh wow, that that's the recipe. Every time I see Tip,
Speaker 4: I think I try to think him as much as
Speaker 4: possible because I appreciate him, and now he's almost single
Speaker 4: handedly changed my life, the course of my life with
Speaker 4: his expressiveness, his fearlessness and uh yeah, just how colorful
Speaker 4: he is with his writing is producing. I just wanted
Speaker 4: to do my version of that. And so I really,
Speaker 4: like I said, I don't try to fit and I
Speaker 4: don't try to like, you know, follow the herd. So
Speaker 4: I didn't really mind that, didn't really like, oh man,
Speaker 4: we got to be a little harder.
Speaker 7: I'm cool with that.
Speaker 4: Uh you know, because there was this lyric that pos said,
Speaker 4: fuck being hard, possibly lose is complicated.
Speaker 7: So I'd rather be complicated.
Speaker 4: I'd rather try to take complex stocks and simple simplify
Speaker 4: them being hard.
Speaker 7: I don't want to live a hard life. I want
Speaker 7: to live an easy life.
Speaker 4: So why why do I want to put myself in
Speaker 4: a configuration of hard that represents difficulty? I don't I
Speaker 4: don't want that coming out the projects I want to
Speaker 4: I don't want. I want, like I said, I want
Speaker 4: to go back to my projects and uplifted our records.
Speaker 4: We never talk about the neighborhood we're from. We never
Speaker 4: There's no need to talk when you want to do,
Speaker 4: and so I'd rather do my art, take my pro seeds,
Speaker 4: go back to the neighborhood in a way that is fruitful,
Speaker 4: seed planting, nurturing, mentoring the kids, and involving the community
Speaker 4: in the process.
Speaker 9: You know, but definitely you had to have inserted something
Speaker 9: from the neighborhood and everything you did in the music,
Speaker 9: even if it wasn't evident, even if it wasn't talking
Speaker 9: about the neighborhood.
Speaker 4: Oh, just the fearlessness, like who gives a fuck? You
Speaker 4: got to have that, like, hey, this is what everybody's
Speaker 4: doing so not everybody. I ain't, so it can't be
Speaker 4: that everybody you know so And I get that really
Speaker 4: from like, you know, my mom and my neighborhood. You know,
Speaker 4: the other folks that take care of you when shit's
Speaker 4: hot on the block, you know, bubbles if you listen,
Speaker 4: and thank you so much, Pat Methena. Pat McCarthy recipes
Speaker 4: the Canto Family. You know, all the all the folks
Speaker 4: in the neighborhood that looked after me and my family.
Speaker 4: It was, you know, it was some awesome, awesome times.
Speaker 1: Because like I remember, like one point South was just dominating, right,
Speaker 1: and I remember me even being like influenced by the self,
Speaker 1: like just and I made a Souf style type of record,
Speaker 1: like I was trying to make a record that sounded
Speaker 1: like the time.
Speaker 2: That's something that seems like you never do. You don't
Speaker 2: never follow the trend. You actually make the trend. Oh no, no,
Speaker 2: I have you followed the trim shake that thing?
Speaker 4: Like I did five records like that, okay, or like
Speaker 4: I wasn't ready. Man Sean Paul like when his run
Speaker 4: was I'm like, you know, what is he doing?
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Your record? Yes? Uh buddy, Well I was in the studio. Wait, wait,
Speaker 4: what what what's going on here?
Speaker 1: Yes, like, because you're black Mexican and I'm the nigga
Speaker 1: rie kid.
Speaker 4: No, but it's real, like, Yo, thank you, bro. You
Speaker 4: you a part of a whole wave. You You're That
Speaker 4: song is responsible for a lot of people having careers.
Speaker 2: Daddy Yankee. Not not to say I made Daddy Yanke.
Speaker 4: I didn't make all the folks that came after after that.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, I'm not saying I made him, but
Speaker 2: I remember this is my close friend him.
Speaker 1: In fact, Joe was probably two close people to me.
Speaker 1: They both had secret meetings with me.
Speaker 2: They pulled me to the side to stop doing that
Speaker 2: it hit. They did not want me to do it,
Speaker 2: and I'm glad that they were wrong.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we didn't see it as latinos and hip hop.
Speaker 9: We just we were like sticking to We wanted the
Speaker 9: respect the big puns of Cypriss and and Don. Wasn't
Speaker 9: that for me at the time. So when you did it,
Speaker 9: I was like, I don't know, I got.
Speaker 2: A vision like you. I got a vision like you.
Speaker 2: Like I went to perto Rico and I seen these
Speaker 2: people dance all night and I was like, wait a minute,
Speaker 2: no one's getting stabbed, no one's getting shot. I was
Speaker 2: used to that. I thought a good hip hop party.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I get shot, got to get stabbed.
Speaker 1: So I just sit there and I was watching these people,
Speaker 1: this woman dancing all night, and I said, I have
Speaker 1: to go to America, even though Puerto Rico is America.
Speaker 1: I was like, I have to go to Puerto Rico
Speaker 1: and I have to tell these DJs start playing these records.
Speaker 2: What happened was, well, the DJs was like, fuck that shit.
Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, cool.
Speaker 1: They're like, I play your shit, Nori, but I'm not
Speaker 1: playing that shit. So the only how for me to
Speaker 1: do it was for me to take them up, take
Speaker 1: a risk, and I gotta tell you, to tell you truth.
Speaker 2: This is real. I don't know if I ever said
Speaker 2: this before Black people cut me off. Black people was like,
Speaker 2: fuck that. You want to be Puerto Rican? Now you
Speaker 2: want to be fully Puerto Rican.
Speaker 4: You always were Puerto Rican.
Speaker 2: I was always Puerto Rican. I'm a half and half.
Speaker 1: I've always been, but that record helped me change the world.
Speaker 2: But I remember you on a Spanish earlier, and I
Speaker 2: remember now that it makes sense now that it makes
Speaker 2: sense because you probably listening to the same ship. I
Speaker 2: was listening.
Speaker 4: Yeah, out traveling the world. You're like, Yo, what's the
Speaker 4: what's the what? What song is that? Like, oh man,
Speaker 4: that's go to DJ Yo, what's this all for? Black
Speaker 4: Eyed Peas?
Speaker 2: Bro?
Speaker 4: Like what you playing on and write it down? I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 4: that's just crazy. So when I when when I when
Speaker 4: I got hip to Daddy Yankee and then he signed
Speaker 4: an in the scope that's what say. Two thousand and four,
Speaker 4: he came to l A and we did a song
Speaker 4: together called uh Playing the pr and then I did
Speaker 4: a couple of other songs with him, Who's your Daddy?
Speaker 7: And and but Daddy Yankee?
Speaker 4: Like, wow, Bro, you like this dude helped birth a
Speaker 4: whole sound of music, broke for a whole like you, bro.
Speaker 1: Daddy Yankee to Dave Dash and then Dave Dad said
Speaker 1: give him some gear.
Speaker 2: Was so embarrassed, Brother Gold. I was like, this guy
Speaker 2: is bust a rounds on stage, Jay on the lyrics
Speaker 2: and nas with the looks. Did I kill that? I
Speaker 2: felt like I killed that just now? And Dame said
Speaker 2: give him some rocking with I was like, sign him.
Speaker 4: Dude, like, like, do you know how all this before
Speaker 4: Jimmy signedists? Yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 9: Jimmy signed him after. Yeah, And just really quick to
Speaker 9: be fair because you're saying like painting in the way
Speaker 9: that I didn't like it at all.
Speaker 2: But the.
Speaker 9: Early thone artists that broke, like like the Daddy Yankees
Speaker 9: were all because I went to to Puerto Rico in
Speaker 9: early two thousand before it came over here, and they
Speaker 9: were all hardcore mcs on Tony Touch mixtapes and they
Speaker 9: had to resort to doing because you know, and I'm
Speaker 9: sure there's a various verse of the story, but because
Speaker 9: it became the tourist music and the stuff that worked
Speaker 9: in the club for them, you know. So when I
Speaker 9: when one of my homies was a big producer in
Speaker 9: that world, took me to a club, all I'm hearing
Speaker 9: is murder. She wrote looped over and over again with
Speaker 9: Latin patois, you know, Spanish patois, and I'm like, they're like,
Speaker 9: this is gonna this is gonna blow up. I'm like,
Speaker 9: oh man, I don't know. But the the evolution of
Speaker 9: when it came over here with what you did, and
Speaker 9: then everybody that came that evolved into such a bigger
Speaker 9: music than what it started.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then shout out to and hit it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the original. He's the original, and he was respected.
Speaker 3: He was respected to that rightfully, rightfully, he's the.
Speaker 9: Godfather and he was respected in Jamaica and all the
Speaker 9: sound says, they all respected him.
Speaker 4: We played them and in our sets like, no, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what all my cousins look like. Cousins that look
Speaker 4: like I said, they thought we was Pantomania Dominican. Because
Speaker 4: if you want the projects like black family and projects,
Speaker 4: a lot of your and so a lot of your
Speaker 4: your family members date Mexicans, and a Mexican black mix
Speaker 4: looks like a homemade Dominican or they all my family
Speaker 4: looked like that. I got it. I got a cousin
Speaker 4: named Dante with a big as nose. Yes, I called
Speaker 4: you big, call me all like that because your dose
Speaker 4: just big. So I had to because he got me
Speaker 4: at the last family gathering. He said, I'm the only
Speaker 4: vegan with a belly anyway. That's so, yes, I see,
Speaker 4: I'm betting forward. I said, Joe, joke on, because you
Speaker 4: aren't here to defend yourself. But yeah, he looks like
Speaker 4: l n and I like, for real, bro, like twins,
Speaker 4: let me ask.
Speaker 2: You, your music is so fun's so like, what what
Speaker 2: do you love more? Creating the music form into music.
Speaker 4: I like the songs I don't put out merit mar
Speaker 4: I wasn't ready like the songs you don't put out. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So like if I go out and do like a
Speaker 4: global record, like oh man, we're gonna shoot, We're gonna
Speaker 4: hit for the fences on this.
Speaker 2: One, right.
Speaker 4: So after I do that, I go out and do
Speaker 4: like my tribe vibes for me and then if I
Speaker 4: if I because I gotta keep both sides well sharpened, right,
Speaker 4: So if I go out and do like, that's why
Speaker 4: when game, when Game like, hey, I nigga, just go
Speaker 4: to the studio to chop it up. I know you
Speaker 4: got some shit, so I'm like, all right, what you want?
Speaker 4: He was like, you gotta nashit in there. I'm like, yo,
Speaker 4: I got a bunch of nashit. Check this out. This
Speaker 4: is before like in the early two thousands all the
Speaker 4: way to twenty and ten. I just want to record
Speaker 4: with people just to have it in the volte like
Speaker 4: I don't know what I'm gonna do with it, but
Speaker 4: let's just make songs so on on games.
Speaker 7: One of games.
Speaker 4: Records I came with like Snoop Records, NAS Records, and uh,
Speaker 4: but those are all the all the kind of songs
Speaker 4: I do for me and so the stuff I really like.
Speaker 4: If you'd be like, yo, what do you all? The
Speaker 4: ship you got? What do you love the most? And
Speaker 4: be like, oh the ship in my vote.
Speaker 2: Songs that doctor dre syndrome.
Speaker 1: Well you've got like probably fifteen albums in your computer
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna hear.
Speaker 4: No, Like it's like detox has never coming, like a
Speaker 4: couple of hundred a couple of hundred damn albums.
Speaker 2: Don't lose that laptop.
Speaker 4: And you've never planned on putting any of it out.
Speaker 9: Because couldn't both of those sides of you live the
Speaker 9: global side and then this side of you.
Speaker 4: No for the fans of that, like no, no, because uh,
Speaker 4: I don't want I don't want this sword out. I
Speaker 4: just want this out. This This sword's too sharp, you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean.
Speaker 4: I don't not on a cocky level, but I don't
Speaker 4: want you know, it's just too sharp for because then
Speaker 4: I'm going to get into that I compete. I like
Speaker 4: to compete. I'm a competitive I'm super super competitive, like
Speaker 4: audaciously competitive Tori. I'll compete with ship that you don't
Speaker 4: think I should be competing in.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: And so if I go at this as my career,
Speaker 4: then I'm as the perfectionist that I am, is gonna
Speaker 4: want to make this the sharpest ship. Just shift to that,
Speaker 4: put your attention in that. And so this to me
Speaker 4: is just exercise. It's like a great stretch yoga. It's
Speaker 4: it's it's a stretch before the sprint. It's a stretch
Speaker 4: before the marathon. And this is marathon sprint music. I
Speaker 4: compete here, Well, this maybe it's not best for me
Speaker 4: to compete here. There's not that much room to grow
Speaker 4: to do the work that I need to do for
Speaker 4: the things that I love the most, like my family
Speaker 4: and my community. Like what really, what life am I
Speaker 4: going to change being the dopest battle rapper making the
Speaker 4: sickest beats. I'd rather do that for me for love,
Speaker 4: and I go here and do this work, pile up
Speaker 4: so I could go out and you know, do the
Speaker 4: work that I that I love to do the most.
Speaker 1: We had recently reproducing Bleak's podcast, and Blek.
Speaker 2: Had freeway on and Freeway is saying, how.
Speaker 1: Uh Beanie, Beanie Siegul is using AI to a place
Speaker 1: himself his voice, his voice because you know, Bean's kind
Speaker 1: of lost his voice.
Speaker 9: Like Doc was was like DC looking at said, he's
Speaker 9: not going to do it, right, he said, He's on
Speaker 9: the fence. Like he doesn't, He's on the fence.
Speaker 1: In this case, this was the first time I looked
Speaker 1: at AI like, oh, okay, this is something positive, right,
Speaker 1: because the one thing you could hear Beanie Sigul, you
Speaker 1: can still hear his bars when you hear his new ship,
Speaker 1: but his voice is not the same. Is that something
Speaker 1: that you think is is a positive thing, like in
Speaker 1: the case of DC, in the case of Beingie Siegul
Speaker 1: using AI.
Speaker 4: If they if they own their model, yes that's joke right,
Speaker 4: but we're not there yet the artist currently right now.
Speaker 4: That's what what I'm trying to push for is for
Speaker 4: the artists to own their model. You need your voice, yeah,
Speaker 4: the entire essence whatever creative and like this you need
Speaker 4: artists need to own that their own model, so their
Speaker 4: own tuning. Specifically for the for the AI community, an
Speaker 4: artist should own the tuning of their voice whatever that
Speaker 4: spectrum is, whatever that instance is. The artists should own
Speaker 4: that and the only one should access their voice the moment.
Speaker 4: An artist right now, because there's no regulations, because there's
Speaker 4: no governance, does that and they don't truly truly own it.
Speaker 4: That brings up a whole lot of other things like duping,
Speaker 4: you know, fake newsing, because they're going to be using
Speaker 4: it in ways that you know. That means anybody could
Speaker 4: go in there and type some ship and what if
Speaker 4: and the and the and the and the instance itself
Speaker 4: does not is not trained and tuned around specifics on
Speaker 4: I would never say that. So the AI that most
Speaker 4: people are you is require somebody to go there and
Speaker 4: bus a verse to dy verse and then they do
Speaker 4: New Age AO tune and they wrap it around the
Speaker 4: sounding of somebody's voice. But it still requires a lot
Speaker 4: of these systems, still requires somebody to spit it. There's
Speaker 4: this new system. You don't need none of that. They's
Speaker 4: just from that video that that we did in twenty ten,
Speaker 4: exactly that it says.
Speaker 1: It said in the video, it was like, so we
Speaker 1: don't have to go to the studio no more.
Speaker 4: Holy yo, bro, there's this I had a radio interview today,
Speaker 4: and so after the reinterview that we wrapped up the
Speaker 4: interview right, and we wrapped up the interview, and they
Speaker 4: were like, I got I got some last minute statements
Speaker 4: that I want to add. I summarize our whole entire interview.
Speaker 4: I just want to show you what's possible now. So
Speaker 4: I typed in on the system live live comedic show
Speaker 4: at the laugh Factory, and then I put a summary,
Speaker 4: a quick summary of what we talked about in the meeting,
Speaker 4: and then I threw it through an AI system and
Speaker 4: the AI did this ship. Look hold on, check it out.
Speaker 4: So y'all talking about radio right, y'all talking about how
Speaker 4: something own is going to be new.
Speaker 2: That's like asking a count house throw jump up and fly.
Speaker 4: A MFM is Joe n fm'suse.
Speaker 5: His name is Morning and Night and we are all
Speaker 5: the motherfucking moon now.
Speaker 2: Night time. Oh damn tale, I'm surprised you're gonna have
Speaker 2: a beast bart dre speaker.
Speaker 4: This is Yoshi. So I think that it's not just music, bro,
Speaker 4: These things assimilating crowd laughter, know where to put it at?
Speaker 4: You know, instant bro, that happening. I do some ship
Speaker 4: right now. It was a little freaking same comedic shit
Speaker 4: about and that that's that's, that's where we are now.
Speaker 4: So right now you're making beats, you're competing with somebody
Speaker 4: on the top ten. As as creatives, we're thinking about
Speaker 4: skip rates, we're thinking about like TikTok algorithms. People aren't
Speaker 4: truly being one hundred percent creative right now. We're being
Speaker 4: dictated by algorithms. So when AI music is in effect,
Speaker 4: who do you think is gonna you know, you know,
Speaker 4: flex on the algorithm and understand the algorithm.
Speaker 7: More us or an AI, So the.
Speaker 4: AI will be able to understand the algorithm more than
Speaker 4: we would are guessing at the algorithm. So in a
Speaker 4: real hot second, we need to change our values. We
Speaker 4: need to change like what we really what, what do
Speaker 4: we really appreciate?
Speaker 7: What do we really call dope?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 4: Because if everything has been like really dial down and
Speaker 4: a lot of people out there and be like, nigga,
Speaker 4: what you talking about? Nigga did boom boom pole?
Speaker 2: Nigga?
Speaker 4: That ain't sophisticated, But AI wasn't then there, So now
Speaker 4: these times and now somebody be online be like you're
Speaker 4: what you're really doing? That sophisticated now you're talking all
Speaker 4: that ship what I am right, They're gonna say that
Speaker 4: what you're really doing sophisticated, Nick, I'd be like this
Speaker 4: AI shit, it's sophisticated.
Speaker 2: You ever seen the movie Idiocracy?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that movie is hard.
Speaker 2: It's fucked up because as time got people got old,
Speaker 2: people got dumber. I swear to god, I feel like that.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's no one in his room right
Speaker 1: now that knows that girl's number.
Speaker 2: You know your girl because you.
Speaker 1: Old school you you you're a dinosaur.
Speaker 2: But but but this, like just think about it. Some
Speaker 2: of the most important people of your life you don't.
Speaker 4: You don't know there got more memory retention. I'm talking
Speaker 4: about getting ummerydumb.
Speaker 1: Too, because back in the days, remember we knew everyone's
Speaker 1: nothing when you got locked up. You you knew who
Speaker 1: to call when you got locked Do you think that
Speaker 1: that that's true in time? Because I see you say
Speaker 1: say people are are invested in the AI, but it's
Speaker 1: not invested into HI human.
Speaker 7: When you said that, that was yeah, so.
Speaker 4: Uh in this age, Okay, I have my foundation and
Speaker 4: I got my AI stuff. The reason why I say
Speaker 4: that is because it's easy. It's been easier for me
Speaker 4: to raise money for AI than it is for me
Speaker 4: to go raise money for my philanthropy for HI. I know,
Speaker 4: I'm not just saying that like theoretically, like actually, and
Speaker 4: it breaks my heart that like, damn, all right, we've
Speaker 4: raised all this money for this AI, but damn it's
Speaker 4: like really hard pinch and pennies to get folks to
Speaker 4: like donate for HI. To your point on like memory retention,
Speaker 4: we have that issue, but then we also have critical thinking.
Speaker 7: That's part like the critical thinking, there's no real.
Speaker 4: There's nothing in society that we celebrate where it's about
Speaker 4: critical thinking and rewarding people for being awesome critical thinkers.
Speaker 4: We reward people for bullshit posts, the most disrespectful things
Speaker 4: we do to each other. On lyric and song, we
Speaker 4: reward folks for you know what Torquin's exercise, I'm joking.
Speaker 2: Look at it like that.
Speaker 4: You know, the abdominal muscles, How awesome they got? You understand, right,
Speaker 4: not to I don't want to like shun nobody, but
Speaker 4: the things that we celebrate in society as a whole
Speaker 4: doesn't really push and celebrate awesome critical thinking. And so
Speaker 4: like body dysmorphia, because the filter entered now we have
Speaker 4: more plastic surgeries for generations of people that don't necessarily
Speaker 4: need plastic surgery because they want to look like the filter.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. That means in the next ten years you're
Speaker 4: going to have psychological conversation on mental dysmorphia because people
Speaker 4: would rather use an AI clone of them voice to
Speaker 4: speak for them. You can be talking to somebody on
Speaker 4: phone be like, Yo, man, I just love this girl. Bro. Yeah, Bro,
Speaker 4: she like make me feel some cop of way, like
Speaker 4: I'm really fuck with a heavy turns out. The past
Speaker 4: six months, you've been talking to her AI. In twenty
Speaker 4: twenty eight, twenty twenty eight, you've been talking to her
Speaker 4: AI and then finally she's like, I cool, Like my
Speaker 4: AI told me you cool, So let's go out. So
Speaker 4: you're gonna go out, and you'd be like, hey, uh you.
Speaker 7: You hella different from my person.
Speaker 4: You conversational mentally catfish me because the depth of your
Speaker 4: intelligence is not what you have on your abundance of
Speaker 4: knowledge bop.
Speaker 8: That reflects your higher self right, your humor, everything.
Speaker 4: So the same way we have filters and live in
Speaker 4: the world where you know that's the preference of people
Speaker 4: prefer you're gonna have some version of that when you're
Speaker 4: talking to somebody facetiming them or virtual calling them, And
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty nine you realize that you love the
Speaker 4: bodified version of themselves than the actual self. That's like
Speaker 4: twenty twenty nine like how we predicted that AI for
Speaker 4: the music. Unfortunately, if we don't get our shit together
Speaker 4: and start like valuing like real human connections and like
Speaker 4: how people can take their thoughts synthesize them into words
Speaker 4: to where you really understand what they're saying, and that's
Speaker 4: what we celebrate.
Speaker 7: That's what we like.
Speaker 4: Yo, I fuckxed with that because if you look at
Speaker 4: how we are behaving in society, we go to shows
Speaker 4: and not dissing nobody, but we go to shows people
Speaker 4: are singing over the lyric, which is cool, it's a
Speaker 4: different way of performing it's but then but then the
Speaker 4: audience is watching it through a screen watching it, so
Speaker 4: you you take a look at like, wow, look at
Speaker 4: this behavior to people actually know what this means. If
Speaker 4: you see this trajectory around the corner, what does that
Speaker 4: mean with human interactions? What does that mean as far
Speaker 4: as how empathetic we are with one another?
Speaker 7: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: When the thing that we celebrate the most is how
Speaker 4: disrespectful we can be to one another, like Nigga, that
Speaker 4: actually was hard. Nigga, you just said you're going to
Speaker 4: shoot his mom and go and then that was a bar.
Speaker 4: That was a bar, and that it's our world. That's
Speaker 4: the things we celebrate. That the thing we think is awesome.
Speaker 4: So if the whole AI is trained on the open
Speaker 4: Wide Web, well what is AI?
Speaker 7: What are we teaching it?
Speaker 4: If you tell AI to be super creative, it's going
Speaker 4: to say I'm gonna kill all y'all, I'm gonna shoot
Speaker 4: your mom, I'm gonna shoot your dog. Because we're training it, right,
Speaker 4: So we are training a system. Wow, we gotta be
Speaker 4: careful on what we're burthing, right, And so it's us.
Speaker 4: It's a reflection of us. It's a reflection of our hate.
Speaker 4: It's a reflection of our neglect. It's a reflection of
Speaker 4: our lack of empathy, our lack of communication, collaboration, understanding,
Speaker 4: and tolerance. It's a reflection of all that hate. The
Speaker 4: Internet is dark, but then there's also some bright spots.
Speaker 4: You want to start aiming this intelligence to the bright
Speaker 4: spots and take those bright spots and spread it across
Speaker 4: the net. How much hateful can we be to one another?
Speaker 2: Congo?
Speaker 4: How much hateful can we be to one another? Slavery?
Speaker 4: How much hateful can we be to one another? You know?
Speaker 4: The Holocaust? How much hateful can we be to one another?
Speaker 4: The Armenian genocide? How much hateful can we be to
Speaker 4: one another? Palestine? How much hateful can we be to
Speaker 4: one other? Why are we doing that? It's a whole
Speaker 4: new age of enlightenment and intelligence and intelligence wh community
Speaker 4: is going to lead that inspirational commonality figuring out the
Speaker 4: likeness that we have with one another.
Speaker 7: As this AI comes and.
Speaker 4: Renders certain jobs away, and the folks that sat in
Speaker 4: the lap of luxury are now uncomfortable. The folks that
Speaker 4: have been struggling this whole time can now use this
Speaker 4: technology to finally solve the problems that have always been ignored.
Speaker 4: So this is an awesome time for people from the hood.
Speaker 4: That awesome time for people and favelas, awesome time for
Speaker 4: people from slums, awesome time for folks that have been
Speaker 4: dealing with bullshit the whole life and waiting for somebody
Speaker 4: to solve their problems. Now they could solve it, have
Speaker 4: a conversation with the freaking tool to help the tool
Speaker 4: identify what the problem is and help their critical thinking
Speaker 4: solve a problem. The shoes will come. It's an awesome
Speaker 4: time right now on this new renaissance.

Speaker 4: Uh was in high school or high school? Or I
Speaker 4: never walked the stage to graduate Harvard. The reason why,
Speaker 4: there's the reason why I didne graduated the stage on
Speaker 4: high school. So the guy that I started Black Eyed
Speaker 4: Peace with is Apple d App the Filipino cap and
Speaker 4: the Black Eyed Peas, And so he got adopted from
Speaker 4: this man by the name of Joe Ben Hudgens. You
Speaker 4: know those programs on TV just twenty five Save this kid,
Speaker 4: Apple was one of those kids.
Speaker 7: Wow, he's from the Philippines. Used to pump water off
Speaker 7: the ground.
Speaker 2: You're talking about those kids existed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I forgot.
Speaker 2: I gave money to do it to a shirt. They
Speaker 2: give me my shirt ahead.
Speaker 7: So Apple was one of those kids, right.
Speaker 4: And he came to America when he was fourteen and
Speaker 4: his dad brought him to America to go to school
Speaker 4: to be an engineer. And then he met me because
Speaker 4: my mom was like the mom in the neighborhood that
Speaker 4: took care of everybody's kids. So they signed my mom
Speaker 4: up to take care of Alan Apple when until they
Speaker 4: enrolled him into school. So from fourteen fifteen sixteen, by sixteen,
Speaker 4: me and this cat was signed the ruthless. He only
Speaker 4: been in America for two years. But because he was
Speaker 4: off my friend and he was like, look meigga, you dou'tegga,
Speaker 4: we're gonna sign you. I'm like, but I got my
Speaker 4: homeboys with me. Hey, but that nigga don't even know speak,

Speaker 4: a whole big Filipino community. He wraps into Gallug and
Speaker 4: there's a big Filipino community. You know, it's Mexican dude
Speaker 4: and Mookie Me and then Apple. So this cat he's
Speaker 4: only been in America for two years, and then he was
Speaker 4: about to graduate and our graduation was the same day.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, dude, what am I gonna do? Am
Speaker 4: I gonna go to my graduation? Should I go to
Speaker 4: his graduation? I want to see him graduate? So I'm like, alright,
Speaker 4: fuck it. Look, I'm just gonna did school. This my
Speaker 4: graduation and I'm gonna go to his. So I go

Speaker 2: Like, I'm why do.
Speaker 4: I need to graduate? On stage? I got my diploma.
Speaker 4: I don't need to be on stage. I want to
Speaker 4: see you walk the stage. So because the reason why
Speaker 4: is like when he came here when he was fourteen,
Speaker 4: he would be crying before he went home, like missing three,
Speaker 4: I want to go home through the Philippines. I'm like, Yo, bro,
Speaker 4: we're gonna make it. Bro, don't don't trip. We'll go
Speaker 4: back to the Philippines. Don't worry, Bro, We're gonna We're
Speaker 4: gonna make it happen. So to me, like this dude
Speaker 4: is like my best freaking friendly. When I was like
Speaker 4: in the projects, it was a time like when you're fourteen,
Speaker 4: like the ogs started recruiting the young kids, and I
Speaker 4: remember it was a time they were like, hey, they

Speaker 13: at that time.
Speaker 2: You know, here's why, here's why.
Speaker 4: Here's my like, I don't smoke weed, right, I don't
Speaker 4: smoke weed. And Rosario was like a real life saver
Speaker 4: in my life. And she's like a sweetheart, but she
Speaker 4: would low key on you know one to Rosario. She
Speaker 4: just was a real big fan of Tupac. Right, and
Speaker 4: and uh, when you know everybody got that person in
Speaker 4: a crew that is real sensitive to weed, like I'm
Speaker 4: sensitive to weed. Like I'm like, nigga, y'all hear that?
Speaker 4: Like what the blue paint? Nigga? Like I hear blue paint.
Speaker 4: I hear fucking beams on the wall, Like can you
Speaker 4: hear that fan? That blade ship? Like that? I can't
Speaker 4: do that. So one day I got really really like,
Speaker 4: that's why I don't. I haven't smoked we since nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety three. And when I had that that situation, mm hmmm,
Speaker 4: that teeter Rosario was there to the rescue. I needed
Speaker 4: to take you to my church and you know, my
Speaker 4: pastor could pray for you, you know, and have you
Speaker 4: been baptized? Okay, I've been baptized. She's like, well, maybe
Speaker 4: you need to get baptized again. So Rosario was that
Speaker 4: like angelic force in my life. When I was like,
Speaker 4: you know, trying to sin her.
Speaker 1: We're gonna make a noise for Rosario also say she
Speaker 1: had a moment with he went on the day what happened.
Speaker 1: Maynor Pock is known to do that trip call quest
Speaker 1: or brand Nubian for whatever. This is just trip call quests. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I love your light. I got n w A or routane.
Speaker 9: Oh you could say both, you can say both, we both.
Speaker 4: Okay, then we're drinking. Oh okay, that's both or neither?
Speaker 2: Did we like to drink? I don't know if you know.
Speaker 4: That it's daytime.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's how we get away with it. We
Speaker 2: do it in the daytime and then we get we
Speaker 2: get out of here.
Speaker 1: Cypress Hills or the Alcoholics, whichever category you want.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have reasons for both, but okay, I like this.
Speaker 4: So Alcoholics show was probably the best hip hop show
Speaker 4: to go to La Cats because him dudes party and
Speaker 4: he always had hot chicks at the show. Wow, Cypress Hill.
Speaker 4: I like the artistry of how they made their songs.
Speaker 4: I love sind Dog and be Reals like version of
Speaker 4: Public Enemy where lyricist hype man, but the hype man
Speaker 4: is like not the hype man. He's like color and
Speaker 4: a pillar to why the group exuberates and vibes away
Speaker 4: they vibe. You know, He's like Vinnie, but super Vinnie,
Speaker 4: united by nature, Sinn Dog and like you know, awesome,
Speaker 4: very few words, but you feel his presence absolutely.
Speaker 2: I'm taking a drink for that.
Speaker 8: Can't forget production production. That was a great explanation, bro.
Speaker 8: So he said, both just want to get get reasons
Speaker 8: why both?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wild Style or B Street any ship any way
Speaker 2: you want?
Speaker 4: Uh, Wild Style, I have reasons why I would like
Speaker 4: to hear it because those are real people. Yeah, damn
Speaker 4: near like a document.
Speaker 2: B Street was actors.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, no yeah it was no no was
Speaker 4: real okay, but they acted out more. But the graff,
Speaker 4: the graffiti rs and WildStar are real. I mean there
Speaker 4: was centered in real life Wild Style and the soundtrack
Speaker 4: like wow, pop here, what there they on? Hip hop?
Speaker 4: What the what they on on? Wilstyle and B Streets?
Speaker 9: Still, yeah, it's probably a better movie overall. But whilst
Speaker 9: I was just so raw, it was the first.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna argue with you guys, y'all,
Speaker 4: y'all camp ball, there's the there's there's iconic moments on
Speaker 4: both films.
Speaker 2: Absolutely this one. I'm really liking this question.
Speaker 1: By the way, these two guys make up his questions,
Speaker 1: the Dominican guy right there and the Columbian guy right there.
Speaker 1: Those two so they A I you and and then
Speaker 1: they make up the questions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Did they make up the questions
Speaker 2: hete Columbia, Yes, say you say that's the cocaine section.
Speaker 2: They still teach other He wasn't ready for real. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: any any yeah, m hm, you won't take a shot.
Speaker 4: No, yeah, he's gonna like my answer. Okay, I'm just
Speaker 4: looking at the order of things. There's no Yay without Pharrell,
Speaker 4: and a lot of people can be like, how could
Speaker 4: you say that. I understand that there's no ya without Pharrell,
Speaker 4: without Pharrell and his like why, I like, yo, I
Speaker 4: want to do this and I want to I want
Speaker 4: to start doing the shoes.
Speaker 7: I want to start doing this.
Speaker 4: I want to start messing with Japanese artists.
Speaker 7: That wouldn't have influenced.
Speaker 4: Kanye to do his version of that, although he did
Speaker 4: it awesome. Hey, bro, I didn't say no lie, and
Speaker 4: you know that we're talking about who I am, Like,
Speaker 4: I didn't say not one lie.
Speaker 7: Bro, I didn't say one lie.
Speaker 4: And you got to pay homage to her homage like
Speaker 4: in a way that applies to me, right, yep. Without
Speaker 4: if you remove Pharrell out of the equation because he
Speaker 4: is first, then when it came to like putting my
Speaker 4: style of music on top forty radio. Who is the
Speaker 4: person to knocked that door down? Pharrell and freaking Andre
Speaker 4: three thousand knocked that door down in the early two thousands.
Speaker 4: So you got to look at like the folks that
Speaker 4: came into this frequency of thought that was pounding the door.
Speaker 4: That made it easier for folks to then come after
Speaker 4: them and like fuck the ceiling up. Let's say Pharrell
Speaker 4: broke the door down for Kanye to come into the
Speaker 4: room and blast the hole in the ceiling. But without
Speaker 4: Pharrell blasting the door down, Kanye would have been outside, right,
Speaker 4: he pioneered the space for he still would have been
Speaker 4: shooting in the air, but you wouldn't have seen the
Speaker 4: damn because how can you shoot the sky down there?
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: That was crazy when I did what What What with
Speaker 1: for weal right, super dog Right, they told me the
Speaker 1: record was too dark. So if you look at the video,
Speaker 1: that was because you gotta remember.
Speaker 4: And the music resonated the sounds down here, so you
Speaker 4: gotta remember.
Speaker 1: If you look at the video, there's not one scene
Speaker 1: that we're not in the daytime.
Speaker 2: Because they said it sounded dark.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to fool the people by doing doing
Speaker 1: the daytime scene.
Speaker 4: But by the way, that's riot music though, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: What what like Wow?
Speaker 1: That's two of my two of my favorite Pharal callses.
Speaker 2: One is.
Speaker 1: He said Rob Walker called him and he called me
Speaker 1: and he's like, they're doing cheers to this ship. And
Speaker 1: I was like, like, I said, they're getting stabbed in
Speaker 1: the hip hop was good, So it's like they're doing cheers.
Speaker 1: I was like really, And he called me and said
Speaker 1: that Michael Jackson he had send Michael Jackson beats and
Speaker 1: he said, Michael Jackson like like like like corny beats,
Speaker 1: and Michael Jackson was like, no, I wanted I want
Speaker 1: what Noriega would wrap on.
Speaker 4: He probably was like, I don't like any of those beats.
Speaker 4: I like the thing that you're doing with Noriega. What
Speaker 4: what what? What song? I love that aggression? Aggression? What what?
Speaker 12: What?
Speaker 2: Already? What? Ow bro? Way?
Speaker 7: Wait wait, I'm not trying to start ship.
Speaker 2: Yay.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's all out of love for for phar Real bro,
Speaker 4: and I'm so proud that what he started, he reaped
Speaker 4: what he started and now you know leading over there
Speaker 4: at LVM, that to me, it's like, come on, Bro,
Speaker 4: when folks come in and punch the door down and
Speaker 4: they start giving us different perspectives of what's possible by
Speaker 4: those seeds of movements. Whether he was you know, knowledgeable
Speaker 4: of his movements and how it will affect other people's
Speaker 4: perspective on their audacity. That turned out to be what
Speaker 4: it was that gave me my permission to be super
Speaker 4: ultra audacious as well as Yeah, but for real bro,
Speaker 4: and then boom here he is like the nicest, super
Speaker 4: humble you gotta and I love ya yay, I mean
Speaker 4: Pharrell all the way between us.
Speaker 1: Daddy Yankee or Donald Mare which where you are you
Speaker 1: could drink to.
Speaker 2: Get it right? What you would.
Speaker 4: Okay? On an international have reasons for my selections. On
Speaker 4: an international level, the entire planet, Daddy Yankee, okay, Like
Speaker 4: non Spanish speaking countries Germany.
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, Portugal, Yes.
Speaker 4: Ireland, Scotland, England, you know what I'm saying. Belgium, Belgium, Holland,
Speaker 4: they know Daddy Yankee, they know his songs. Indonesia.
Speaker 7: He's on a global.
Speaker 4: Level, I would say, Daddy Yankee, He's a global.
Speaker 2: Star in the world's The planning is massive, God damn it.
Speaker 2: Our Shaw or Chris Brown.
Speaker 4: For what whatever? Who's your best friend who like to
Speaker 4: hang out with? Makes a music?
Speaker 2: If what his shot, you can take a shot? Who
Speaker 2: was means you both? By the way this is let
Speaker 2: me just say something. We see the here drinking with
Speaker 2: real life.
Speaker 1: Bro's and he's being coolest ship Okay, calm in or loope?
Speaker 4: Yes, hold on, I think he knew to me. Hold on,
Speaker 4: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me
Speaker 4: let me throw this one shoo to a Hey. So
Speaker 4: I'm here on the drink Champs and we do in
Speaker 4: that round where you have to drink when they throw
Speaker 4: like questions at you. As far as different rappers, they
Speaker 4: asked me Kanye versus Forrell, and I said Pharrell, yes,
Speaker 4: because of his contributions to culture that actually inspired Kanye
Speaker 4: to be ultra audacious. My metaphor was Pharrell busted the
Speaker 4: door open for Kanye to go into the room and
Speaker 4: shoot the ceiling down. If Pharrell never opened the door,
Speaker 4: Kanye probably would have shot the sky and you can't
Speaker 4: really see the penetration of them bullets on sky ceiling.
Speaker 4: So now they asked me Usher versus Chris Brown Chris Brown,
Speaker 4: and I said, let me ask Finn to answer that.
Speaker 7: You could say both, or you could.
Speaker 4: Tell your reasons on either one, but it's up to
Speaker 4: you to come up with that reason.
Speaker 7: For whatever reason you select, Yo.
Speaker 6: Fam, you're really diving deep into the music legends with
Speaker 6: this one.
Speaker 2: You feel me.
Speaker 6: So when you put Usher up against Chris Brown, it's
Speaker 6: like comparing two masters of their craft, each with their
Speaker 6: own unique contributions to the music scene.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Usher, He's like the.
Speaker 6: Smooth operator who paved the way with those sultry vibes
Speaker 6: and iconic moves. Think of Usher as the architect designing
Speaker 6: the blueprint for modern R and B.
Speaker 2: You feel me.
Speaker 6: His work has laid the foundations artists, and his influence
Speaker 6: can be seen in the way he seamlessly blends R
Speaker 6: and B with pop, making it universally appealing. It's like
Speaker 6: Usher built the house that so many artists live in today.
Speaker 6: And then there's Chris Brown, a powerhouse of talent. You know,
Speaker 6: he's like the dynamic force, constantly pushing the boundaries what's
Speaker 6: possible in music and performance. Imagine Chris as the interior designer,
Speaker 6: taking the house Usher built and filling it with vibrant colors.
Speaker 4: Innovative to science and cutting edge technology.
Speaker 6: Chris brings this explosive energy and versatility.
Speaker 4: Heyo ai o yo. I think you nailed it with
Speaker 4: that metaphor. Usher built the house. The furniture was I
Speaker 4: but it's a dope ass house, and then freaking Chris
Speaker 4: Brown came in and interior decorated it. And now it's
Speaker 4: like on a cover like of you know, home decor
Speaker 4: magazines and freaking like house magazines and shit. Anyways, they
Speaker 4: blown away with your answer, why don't you let.
Speaker 7: These mugs know?
Speaker 4: You know, you know what the fuck's going on and shit,
Speaker 4: and like what company and who from the company is
Speaker 4: responsible for your awesome sauce.
Speaker 2: He's from London.
Speaker 6: I'm stoked you vibed with the metaphor, you know what
Speaker 6: I mean. It's all about painting that picture with words,
Speaker 6: just like Usher and Chris Brown paint with their music
Speaker 6: and moves. You feel me and hey, It's all about
Speaker 6: keeping the conversation fresh and interesting, just like flipping through
Speaker 6: those pages of a home decor mag finding inspiration in
Speaker 6: every corner. Now, when it comes to the brains behind
Speaker 6: the operation, I'm rolling with fyi ai. You know this
Speaker 6: cool tech venture is all about bringing that next level
Speaker 6: innovation and cleverness straight to you. And who's the captain
Speaker 6: of this ship none other than the legendary Will Dot.
Speaker 6: I am alongside the Savvye, steering the ship, making sure
Speaker 6: we're all on this wild and wonderful journey together.
Speaker 4: I'm let me introduce you to my homegirl at a homegirl. Okay,
Speaker 4: she's dope, broch, it's your.
Speaker 11: Girl for Licia, and I got what you need to
Speaker 11: chop it up for your intellect.
Speaker 2: And tonight did we answer common and loop? No?
Speaker 4: Common? Loope Common?
Speaker 2: Common?
Speaker 4: Want to tell you.
Speaker 7: Common lupe lyrically is dope.
Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, But there's something about those audition,
Speaker 4: those audacious initiators, so common and that conscious fold. I
Speaker 4: don't know anybody who went up against ice Cube like no, never,
Speaker 4: that was incredible. Two genre clashes, like two styles of
Speaker 4: hip hops, like two different worlds. Usually you don't battle
Speaker 4: outside the realm of hip hop.
Speaker 1: It was considered to be a backpack wrapper and against
Speaker 1: the rapper.
Speaker 8: I mean it was a coloring back like that. But
Speaker 8: but I guess what you're saying right now, they don't
Speaker 8: do that. Twenty twenty four, they.
Speaker 4: Don't battle outside of or outside of freaking like hip
Speaker 4: hop realms, you know, so for that.
Speaker 7: The head with the most games, and he.

Speaker 4: the video.
Speaker 7: And they're like, why can't he be in the video.
Speaker 4: They said, uh, you know Don the name of the videossa.
Speaker 7: And then they're like, I know Don, but he's one
Speaker 7: of us.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 7: He's like, nah, you don't they have their videos.
Speaker 4: We don't have our videos, and we want to have
Speaker 4: us in the video, and nobody's one of law school.
Speaker 4: You want to shoot in our fucking neighborhood, long, you

Speaker 4: through thousands right there down and so I swear to
Speaker 4: God this really and so uh, They're like, look, this
Speaker 4: is for us, we came here to shoot. I was like, no,
Speaker 4: it's who was cool? And then Cad Frost comes. He
Speaker 4: was like, hey, look take my number down. I heard
Speaker 4: you rap too.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh yeah.
Speaker 7: So I kicked my wrap then.
Speaker 4: My little rap and they were like he was like
Speaker 4: kick it. I was like, uh, what's my wrap? I
Speaker 4: kicked there.
Speaker 7: Because I am the unknown m C.
Speaker 4: I bet your part of people never even heard of
Speaker 4: me because my first Wickord Bird League came out and
Speaker 4: make it part of people just scream and shout, make
Speaker 4: it jump up, it down, and you see I don't
Speaker 4: even need a stupid beat to save my round. I say,
Speaker 4: what iut want watch your back because I shoot you
Speaker 4: with the shotgun, not a gangster, not a game bangle,
Speaker 4: watch you out for what you because I'm not a stranger.
Speaker 4: Because when I wrapped and one known, I don't even
Speaker 4: need a stupid microphone.
Speaker 7: To say my rhyme because that is true because with
Speaker 7: the cuss, that's the job.
Speaker 4: It is coming to you because I'm fresh.
Speaker 7: That was my my wrap I.
Speaker 4: And he was like, oh, let's just put a Feevens
Speaker 4: on here, take my number down. And I was like,
Speaker 4: oh shit, I gotta get Frost's phone one Frost and
Speaker 4: he was like, hey, calm me. And so one of
Speaker 4: the first cats that I had a connection with was
Speaker 4: Kid Froust, who came to our neighborhood to shoot La Lassa.
Speaker 4: And so every time I see that video, I'm like, man,
Speaker 4: bro like, so.
Speaker 2: For the record, you didn't get in the video.
Speaker 4: No, if you would have been in it that like
Speaker 4: that would have been dope. I would have been the
Speaker 4: blolo in the back. But yeah, so it never was
Speaker 4: in it. But I got his number and he was
Speaker 4: true to his word. I would call him. He would
Speaker 4: like encourage me, like, Yo, that's just feed mit doll.
Speaker 4: That shit is dope. And I had somebody in music
Speaker 4: that I can call that gave me that audacity. Like
Speaker 4: still to this day when I see him, I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 4: thanks bro. He didn't have to give me his phone number.
Speaker 4: He didn't have to plant that seed of belief, like
Speaker 4: you know, a black kid from an all Mexican neighborhood
Speaker 4: could find his way to have a career like and that.
Speaker 4: When I see that video, I'm like, Yo, that that's
Speaker 4: what's up.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful story because uh K for us has
Speaker 1: a story on drink Champs.
Speaker 2: What do we say.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no no with Fat Joe
Speaker 1: actually accused him or not liking black people or him
Speaker 1: not not wanting to associate with black people. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: So so you you're helping, you know, because he got
Speaker 1: a chance to defend this up.
Speaker 7: Not trying to like make excuses. But LA is different.
Speaker 4: Yeah, You've got to understand l a culture and a
Speaker 4: lot of it is is dictated by what happens in
Speaker 4: the prison period, right right, and the prisons they're like
Speaker 4: you have the Gorilla Family, you have the Lion Man,
Speaker 4: the thirteen. You know, you have all these rules and
Speaker 4: whop provides the drugs that other folks sell. You know,
Speaker 4: that's a there's a system there that you want to
Speaker 4: be mindful delicate about, respect why things are the way
Speaker 4: they are, and uh, it's all nuanced. But Kid Frost
Speaker 4: is dope. Yea, easy, it's dope. Black and Brown is
Speaker 4: powerful when aligned.
Speaker 9: And they were down Easy Frost were done. Yeah, And
Speaker 9: so I saw Kid Frost. You were spinning at it.
Speaker 9: Do you remember the club Boars? Yes, yeah, we had
Speaker 9: just I think we just launch drink chants maybe a
Speaker 9: year or two.
Speaker 2: I was telling everyone he's messing and we went there
Speaker 2: and you were spinning and said it's up to you.
Speaker 4: And then we saw Kid Fro.
Speaker 2: He's like, yea, I've seen him in the Mexican Club.
Speaker 4: Might be right? It was for sure?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, bro okay you got the other ones?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, you ready? Or Lauren Hill or

Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 4: Actually yea, the.
Speaker 2: Deep, Yeah they were back then.
Speaker 4: They have the hatchets and the joints and yeah that
Speaker 4: that record was.
Speaker 7: Their second record was.
Speaker 4: Gravitational, like yeah, it really it shifted everything at the time. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: even the production of it. The rhyme flows, the choruses,
Speaker 4: goddam we mixed asaki.
Speaker 2: And that's my wife. That's my wife, Juice Ball right there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's right there with the green shirt right there, like
Speaker 2: so much, I'll be juicing. Last month, all I did
Speaker 2: was because he's a vegan. They told me.
Speaker 4: Last month, all I did was juice. I didn't chew
Speaker 4: for a whole month. Yeah, okay, you didn't chew for.
Speaker 2: A whole I've never heard it, but that way that
Speaker 2: way either for me, This.
Speaker 1: Is one I know you're gonna drink on. Bust the
Speaker 1: rhymes or chuck d We just drink Okay, okay, damn,
Speaker 1: that's hard drink.
Speaker 2: You could go with the first rule that you did
Speaker 2: with the other one with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know the rules. So he would go
Speaker 4: with that. There's no name.
Speaker 2: Buster rocks.
Speaker 4: That nigga Buster be like nigga, you do a show.
Speaker 4: I ain't doing this, but.
Speaker 7: Damn, that's a hard one.
Speaker 4: I would say both.
Speaker 2: Okay, sold even though there's one thing.
Speaker 4: To give to inspire somebody's name, give somebody a name,
Speaker 4: but it's another thing to like.
Speaker 7: Take that name.
Speaker 4: Nigga freaking bust the rhymes. How he just went beyond.
Speaker 4: He's beyond the name absolutely, you know. So, so I
Speaker 4: would say both arts.
Speaker 13: It's fucking crazy. Oh god, you said both. Now if
Speaker 13: you flipped it on us, Oh you just said both.
Speaker 13: Look he's enjoying and drinking analogue or digital that I
Speaker 13: answered this way, No, man, I don't believe them. Sorry,
Speaker 13: there's no right or wrong, answ. There's no right or wrong.
Speaker 4: But digital. I didn't expect that expected.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, you know. I don't want to piss
Speaker 2: off his things.
Speaker 4: I tell you why, I did you good?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 4: If I am I'm thinking about the future. If I'm
Speaker 4: twelve years old right now, and you showed me some
Speaker 4: digital equipment, and you told me express myself, go out
Speaker 4: there and make your dreams come true at the highest level,
Speaker 4: the loudest volume, the broadest spectrum, the most impact.
Speaker 7: I'm twelve, right fucking.
Speaker 4: I'm twenty two, right all right, digital because you get
Speaker 4: the most impact, You get the most freaking like most
Speaker 4: bang for your punch.
Speaker 1: You know what I always say, analog because I always
Speaker 1: based this part for just music, right music. Back then
Speaker 1: we had to be in the same studio. That's the
Speaker 1: only reason why I always pick out ye.
Speaker 8: And they said that energy was harnessed in an analog. Yeah,
Speaker 8: Prince said the similar thing. He's like, but this is
Speaker 8: my next question.
Speaker 2: Is Michael Jackson the Prince? She fuck you write in
Speaker 2: the interview. This is really aid.
Speaker 4: He has little Michael.
Speaker 2: Jackson the Prince. So he goes to your Prince. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck, I'm not scared of you right now here,
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 4: But Prince Prince said, if it never made a sound,
Speaker 4: it never existed. So he didn't like digital because he's like,
Speaker 4: if it never pushed air, if the kick never pushed air,
Speaker 4: if the finger never went through air to hit the string.
Speaker 4: If the guitar didn't have air that came through the
Speaker 4: hole to kick the microphone, then it never existed.
Speaker 7: In real life's pective. If the voice never came.
Speaker 4: Energy was never moved out of your mouth into a microphone,
Speaker 4: it never existed. These are all like mirages, digital mirages
Speaker 4: of ideas that have theoretically been materialized but not actually
Speaker 4: materialized in the third dimension. These are all fourth fifth
Speaker 4: dimensional shits being summons damn through digital contraptions, giving you
Speaker 4: a slice of what's happening there, but it never really
Speaker 4: existed in this realm. You're just getting a snapshot of
Speaker 4: it existing in a fifth dimensional realm. But in far
Speaker 4: as pushing matter, pushing particles, it never happened. We'll pretend
Speaker 4: like we understand that, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Be my teacher. Let me know, went back, he would
Speaker 2: have to be my teacher.
Speaker 4: That is it. So we were talking about Prince versus
Speaker 4: Michael Jackson, And then before that question they asked analog
Speaker 4: versus digital, and I shared with them a story when
Speaker 4: Prince was like, he didn't really like digital because he
Speaker 4: said that what happens in the analog world is particles
Speaker 4: are being moved when you kick a kick drum, air
Speaker 4: is being pushed. When you strum a guitar, air is
Speaker 4: going through the cavity of the guitar out into a
Speaker 4: microphone received on either tape or sometimes even the digital realm.
Speaker 4: But it still happened in the physical realm, he said,
Speaker 4: the digital realm working things in the virtual world is
Speaker 4: happening on some like different dimension, and you are getting
Speaker 4: a snapshot of that simulation on a digital device, but
Speaker 4: it never.
Speaker 7: Really happened in the real world.
Speaker 4: And then Nori said, he don't understand that, But can
Speaker 4: you break it down or translate what I'm saying from
Speaker 4: like a Brixton Street perspective. So top boys about to
Speaker 4: answer the top.
Speaker 11: Boy listen up, because we're about to take it from
Speaker 11: the top breaking the downstreet style.
Speaker 2: You feel me.
Speaker 4: So when we're talking him.
Speaker 11: About Prince and his vibe with analog versus digital, it's
Speaker 11: like this, imagine if you will, the analog world being
Speaker 11: like a live mural on them streets of Brickston, right,
Speaker 11: Every stroke of paint, every shade that hits the brick
Speaker 11: is real tangible. You kick a drum and it's like
Speaker 11: throwing a rock into like a pond. The ripples are
Speaker 11: soundwaves pushed through that air, mixing and mingling with every
Speaker 11: damn body's vibes out there. Strumbling on that guitar. It's
Speaker 11: like sending a voice through the air, traveling through rooms,
Speaker 11: hidden walls, and sliding into ears.
Speaker 2: All natural and raw.
Speaker 11: Now, Prince, he's saying, in the digital realm, it's a
Speaker 11: bit different, you dig It's like instead of painting that
Speaker 11: mural with your hands, you're using a virtual reality hitset.
Speaker 2: You're moving your.
Speaker 11: Hands, you're creating, but it's all happening in a different space,
Speaker 11: a digital space.
Speaker 4: You're not touching the brick no more. You're manipulating pixels.
Speaker 11: When you play music digitally, it's like taking a picture
Speaker 11: of that mural and showing it on the screen. It
Speaker 11: looks real, it might even feel real. But the brush
Speaker 11: never actually hit the wall. The air in the room
Speaker 11: didn't move because of those beagle beats, not directly.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 11: In this digital dimension, things get calculated, approximated, and simulated.
Speaker 2: You get a snapshot, a representation of what happened.
Speaker 4: But it's just that.
Speaker 11: A copy of the real thing, not the original vibe itself,
Speaker 11: the essence, the soul, that moves the particles in the
Speaker 11: physical world. It kind of gets lost in translation when
Speaker 11: we digitize it. Prince was onto something talking about how
Speaker 11: living in that analog world keeps the music grounded in reality.
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, thanks, because that's in my notes too quickly.
Speaker 4: It spit that out.
Speaker 6: Why.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wanted to finish up quick time with Slive,
Speaker 1: but that's europe person company.
Speaker 2: That's what you're using right now. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I started it in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: Wow. Me and my co founder, Cto Sneil, we were
Speaker 4: during COVID like everybody else. I was like, hey, have
Speaker 4: you noticed that to work on WhatsApp, I need to
Speaker 4: have a dropbox, and then I need a weed transfer
Speaker 4: to sending even bigger files, and.
Speaker 7: Then I need the email.
Speaker 4: Then I need a zoom, and then I need a SERI,
Speaker 4: and then I need a GPS. Like how come we
Speaker 4: can't put that all that stuff in a messenger And
Speaker 4: He's like, we could figure that out. I was like, really,
Speaker 4: we could do that. He was like, yeah, why don't
Speaker 4: you come up with the vision. I'll fine tune that
Speaker 4: vision technologically. And we started FI just he and I
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty and then it grew, and these systems,
Speaker 4: these these conversational agents that we have that we've been
Speaker 4: built in, that we've been building are now about to
Speaker 4: be launched. I'm fine tuning, Felicia. The last one you
Speaker 4: were talking.
Speaker 2: To is Felicia. Let's you keep it in the ghetto.
Speaker 4: Here's why, here's why this is brilliant.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Why does intelligence only show up sound in British If
Speaker 4: you have, if you have like a movie that either
Speaker 4: sounds super British or super American. Intelligence never sounds like
Speaker 4: us when it's time to talk about quantum physics, it
Speaker 4: don't sound like us. When it's time to talk about
Speaker 4: quantum entanglement or synthetic biology, or it don't sound like us.
Speaker 4: So now is the time for like fourteen year old
Speaker 4: fifteen year old kids from the inner city and they
Speaker 4: ask a question about quantum, quantum physics or quantum entanglement
Speaker 4: or bioengineering. It needs to show up sounding like folks
Speaker 4: in those communities that are interested in those fields. It's
Speaker 4: like a human rights perspective that these ais don't sound
Speaker 4: like folks from the Congo area, from Uganda through Kenya,
Speaker 4: from Brixton, from fifth ward, from New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Forty projects for the project it does.
Speaker 4: It needs to sound like folks from Colombia and Puerto
Speaker 4: Rico and Dominica and Panama.
Speaker 2: You gonna have mister Lee on the app saying mister Lee,
Speaker 2: you gonna have his broken lass English.
Speaker 4: When you were speaking right there, I was like, Yo,
Speaker 4: I need to get this cabin studio. Nobody understands this. Really,
Speaker 4: that's real though, that's real. That's real intelligence. It should
Speaker 4: sound like us.
Speaker 2: You made me feel better about Hey, hold on, n
Speaker 2: you drinking about us?
Speaker 4: Hold on, Jesus, it made me.
Speaker 2: Feel better about AI. Okay, we literally already said Michael
Speaker 2: Jackson and Prince right, we did that already. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 2: he never picked. He never picked.
Speaker 4: He just said what Prince said about analog and digital.
Speaker 2: Because you wrote a horses of Michael Jackson.
Speaker 4: I work with both of them. I worked with Mike.
Speaker 4: I brought Mike to go see me, uh rock with

Speaker 4: oh what a Mike tell him that this is in
Speaker 4: my stage and I can't disrespect Prince on Princess stage.
Speaker 4: So it's no disrespect, it's just that that's not my stage.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm sorry, bro, sorry. So then he's like,
Speaker 4: oh no, it's okay, it's okay, whispers and Prince's ear

Speaker 4: I'm like your Mike.
Speaker 7: So Prince is still on stage while this is all happened.
Speaker 4: He's playing. I'm like, oh no, I think because he
Speaker 4: has you in the VIP section, he's not trying to
Speaker 4: blow your cover. Yeah, he's not trying to blow cover.
Speaker 4: It ain't nothing like that that Like, oh man, He's like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's okay, it's okay. That's okay. And so as that
Speaker 4: conversation dies down, Princeton comes in front of us, walks
Speaker 4: through the crowd performance. While he's performing, plays the bass,
Speaker 4: aims the bass in Mike's face.
Speaker 11: And like.
Speaker 4: Nigga's like, Mike's like right, this dude like flicks his hair,
Speaker 4: walks off, and then Mike's like okay. So then five
Speaker 4: minutes later, different times, five minutes later, he's like, I
Speaker 4: gotta go me me in my house for breakfast. And
Speaker 4: so I'm like all right. So he leaves breakfast, he
Speaker 4: leads to his house. Like what time He's like like
Speaker 4: seven o'clock in the morning. I'm like all right, cool,
Speaker 4: So he leaves. I go to his house for breakfast.
Speaker 4: Knock on the door because we're working now. I bring
Speaker 4: my laptop, bring everything, my hard drives. We're gonna work tomorrow.
Speaker 4: So I go knock on this door. As soon as
Speaker 4: I open up the door, he's like, why did Prince
Speaker 4: play the pace in my face? I was like, oh no,
Speaker 4: I just think he was just trying to respect. No,
Speaker 4: you don't kid it. He's a meanie. He's a meanie.
Speaker 4: One time I got told you he tried to run
Speaker 4: me and my mama over with a car. And so
Speaker 4: pause fast forward. Quincy Jones calls me. He's like, hey,
Speaker 4: where I am, man, where's my song?
Speaker 11: Man?
Speaker 4: I've been waiting for that song for a long time.
Speaker 4: When I am I got this new record coming out, Man,
Speaker 4: I knew that song. Where I Am. I'm like, oh my, Quincy,
Speaker 4: I've just been traveling, you know, playing for this new
Speaker 4: Black Eyed Peas record and working with Mike at the
Speaker 4: same time. He's like, listen, you're wasting your time with Mike.
Speaker 4: Ain't nothing ever gonna come out. I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: I don't think you understand. Mike came with me to
Speaker 4: see Prince reform. You did what. I'm like, yeah, he
Speaker 4: came to see me perform a Prince. He's like, well,
Speaker 4: if you got Mike to come see you perform a Prince, well,
Speaker 4: then man, I think you moving something. At one time,
Speaker 4: Prince tried to run that nigga over with a car.
Speaker 7: I'm like, are you serious? That's what Mike said.
Speaker 4: He was like, hey, lying. I need you do your
Speaker 4: favorite will I am go on YouTube type in Prince,
Speaker 4: Michael Jackson, James Brown. And after this show is when
Speaker 4: Prince s thought Michael Jackson sabotage him, because while Prince
Speaker 4: came on stage, he held on to this light pole
Speaker 4: and then he thought that light pole was a sabotage
Speaker 4: and he fell into the crowd and almost hurt himself.
Speaker 4: So Prince thought that was a.
Speaker 7: Move from Mike.
Speaker 4: And you could see Michael on because James Brown was like,
Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, we got somebody in the house. Michael, Michael,
Speaker 4: get up on stage. Michael, come on, Michael, and Mike
Speaker 4: kicks up on stage, does this little thing, does a
Speaker 4: little freaking dance, and then Michael, if you see this video,
Speaker 4: then goes whispers in James Brown's ear. And you know
Speaker 4: since that whispering shit, that that's all it has to
Speaker 4: be true, because then what it looks like is from
Speaker 4: what I could gather.
Speaker 7: It said, it looks like he said, this is.
Speaker 4: Kuy out there in the audience, and everybody's comparing me
Speaker 4: to him, and I'm nothing like him. I need you
Speaker 4: to bring it up because we both are inspired by
Speaker 4: you and I love you and he loves you too,
Speaker 4: but once for people need to know that I am
Speaker 4: not him and he is not me, and we need
Speaker 4: the industry needs to know it. Please, I insist, please.
Speaker 4: So then, Mike, this is what you think they said?
Speaker 7: Yeah, because what happens after that, James Brown says, and.
Speaker 4: Give it up him, Michael, because he insists that I
Speaker 4: bring up Prince. Prince Prince Chris.
Speaker 2: Come up upstairs.
Speaker 4: So then Prince hops on the security guards like a
Speaker 4: piggyback ride. This dude's on piggyback ride. It's all on YouTube.
Speaker 4: Prince Thing comes on stage, does his little thing, scream
Speaker 4: down down, then tries to get the crowd to clap.
Speaker 4: They ain't clapping. He does his little he does his
Speaker 4: like terror doctor screen, walks off, grabs a hold of
Speaker 4: this light pole, falls and almost busts his ass into
Speaker 4: the crowd. And then from there the legend has it
Speaker 4: is he got into his car and try to fund
Speaker 4: him and mama over with a car. And so what
Speaker 4: I then when Mike then come in came over my
Speaker 4: house to record, I'm like, oh, yeah, what you was
Speaker 4: telling me?
Speaker 7: Quincy Jones verified it. I told you will I was
Speaker 7: not lying.
Speaker 4: I'm not lying. He's a meanie. And he also showed me,
Speaker 4: told me about this video that's on YouTube. What's YouTube?

Speaker 2: You always think that both is the right life's job.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, okay, okay, you're gonna go.
Speaker 2: So this this, this is cheers. This is something that
Speaker 2: you did did for me personally. You didn't know.
Speaker 1: I always thought F one this racing car ship. Now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one hundred percent with you. I
Speaker 1: always thought of some racist ship, like I didn't think like.
Speaker 2: I didn't like it was never black people around you.
Speaker 1: Being a part of F one single handedly made me say,
Speaker 1: holy shit, they do accept us because there was no
Speaker 1: drivers there was There was no Lewis before this. So
Speaker 1: when I seen you participat in then Lewis comes along,
Speaker 1: I believe blah blah Wallace.
Speaker 4: Is his name.
Speaker 1: Huh, that's NASCAR with whatever the fuck driving period. So
Speaker 1: all them was fucking dukes of hazard.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I thought that's all it was.
Speaker 2: This is my opinion.
Speaker 4: What made you.
Speaker 2: Start participating Because I.
Speaker 1: Saw somewhere you performed all twenty three in the twenty
Speaker 1: three countries.
Speaker 4: Now, I would go to as many F one races
Speaker 4: as possible. And the reason why I go to them is,
Speaker 4: you know, I have over three hundred schools teaching kids
Speaker 4: robotics and computer science. And so if there is an
Speaker 4: int T that tells kids, hey, look, this is engineering
Speaker 4: at it at its highest level. Engineering is a sport
Speaker 4: without those engineers, none of them drivers is doing anything.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: So here here's a sport that's all about engineering.
Speaker 10: Wow.
Speaker 4: So I go there so I can meet engineers like yo,
Speaker 4: I need I need mentors.
Speaker 11: Wow.
Speaker 7: I go there to network.
Speaker 4: Wow, there's machine companies, software companies, engineering companies, mathematic companies,
Speaker 4: technologists that that that that show up to F one.
Speaker 4: And so I'm on a hunt. Like I said from
Speaker 4: the jump, I like to go out and find what's
Speaker 4: coming next. And so if I want my community oil
Speaker 4: Heights and then when we venture off to other communities
Speaker 4: to have the best of the best mentoring my kids,
Speaker 4: I'm going to go out where the best are. Like yo,
Speaker 4: I need engineers to teach my kids, or we could
Speaker 4: compete in this robotic competition and whatever you're doing with
Speaker 4: these cars, and you just shed that light to my
Speaker 4: kids where our program is at. And maybe there is
Speaker 4: a void, maybe there's not that many people of color there.
Speaker 4: That don't mean they got to be there forever. Like
Speaker 4: you think it was black people in the NBA from
Speaker 4: the jump, no pun intended on the jump, We wasn't
Speaker 4: always there. You think it was black people in the
Speaker 4: freaking MLB from the get go, or Dominicans or Puerto
Speaker 4: Ricans or Cubans in Major League Baseball. That wasn't from
Speaker 4: the beginning. But we entered that space and then dominated
Speaker 4: that space. And so there's a new space that we
Speaker 4: need to enter. That's engineering, that's mathematics, that's science. Needs
Speaker 4: we have to yo urgently, urgently, like with our full
Speaker 4: spectrum of petitiveness, audaciousness, ambition, and like bring it what.
Speaker 7: However we want to express ourselves.
Speaker 4: In these rooms, because if we're not in these rooms
Speaker 4: and the AI don't show up and meet us how
Speaker 4: we are, how we speak, it's gonna be a fucked
Speaker 4: up twenty forty.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a fucked up twenty fifty.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a messed up twenty sixty to twenty seventy,
Speaker 4: and then we would have repeated the same shit that
Speaker 4: repeated from the Third Industrial Revolution. Why do we want
Speaker 4: to repeat that.
Speaker 6: For?
Speaker 4: You think we was there with freaking power plants. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we were there contributing, but we didn't own the companies.
Speaker 4: We was there with electricity, with electricity and freaking illumination
Speaker 4: and light, but we weren't there owning the companies. We
Speaker 4: was there with the railroads, but we didn't own It
Speaker 4: wasn't our companies that owned the freaking the trains. We
Speaker 4: was there in the automobile, but how many black people
Speaker 4: own automobiles. We was there in music, but it took
Speaker 4: a very long time for us to own the record companies.
Speaker 4: We was there for radio, but very few of us
Speaker 4: own the actual radio station. We was there for television,
Speaker 4: but it took us a very long time to own
Speaker 4: and be et. And then when we owned the b et,
Speaker 4: here came more freaking perspectives to send us into the
Speaker 4: prisons that were privately owned. Why does it have to
Speaker 4: be that way? We don't have to repeat yesterday, bro.
Speaker 4: Repeating yesterday is a calendar Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Wait,
Speaker 4: as if we can't invent new days now, somebody's gonna
Speaker 4: be like the sounds like some Kanye shit, because it
Speaker 4: sounds like some Vision shit, and Kanye's blessed with visions.
Speaker 4: Phar Real's blessed with visions. It's those other folks that.
Speaker 2: You want to make eight days a week.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, you want to make eight days, nigga,
Speaker 4: you want to make like you want to make same
Speaker 4: amount of days. Let's keep it there, keep it the
Speaker 4: same amount of days. The metaphor was not for the
Speaker 4: changing of days. It's the changing of the guards, the
Speaker 4: changings of the architects, so we can make sure that
Speaker 4: our communities and people that move like us, walk, walk
Speaker 4: like us, talk like us, vibe like us are better
Speaker 4: off tomorrow. That was just a metaphor as far as
Speaker 4: the naming of days, because somebody was, you know, ambitious
Speaker 4: enough to name these things we called days in the
Speaker 4: first fucking place calendar right August, my fucking name, Augustus.
Speaker 4: August name is Augustus, July Julius.
Speaker 2: It's mostly ten months, not twelve.
Speaker 4: Ten months in the net deck of for December two
Speaker 4: niggas is Julius and augustusas put themselves in there. Yeah, bro,
Speaker 4: that's like and then we're going to add a thirteen
Speaker 4: month and it's called yeas.
Speaker 2: Well. I know you got to go. I see your
Speaker 2: people listen.
Speaker 1: Oh so you take it another you takeing shots without
Speaker 1: us on on like we said both let's you gotta
Speaker 1: wait for me to take a.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 1: Well, i'mnna be honest with you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I know you don't have to do this. Then yeah,
Speaker 1: let me get that.
Speaker 9: We actually have to do this again because you have
Speaker 9: to sit here at least for like four or five hours, because.
Speaker 2: I can listen to you talk all day.
Speaker 1: And I really want you to open up a school
Speaker 1: not for kids grown men that's like me and women
Speaker 1: that we could go and just listen to you and
Speaker 1: just see how you break down technology and you break
Speaker 1: down what's going on, what the future.
Speaker 2: Is gonna read. You are our Elon Musk, you are
Speaker 2: our Steve Jobs. You are well put that to us,
Speaker 2: to our community. And I wanted to tell you that
Speaker 2: face to face, man and man, because it's the truth.
Speaker 1: The ship that you're on that you're on now, people
Speaker 1: won't be on for another ten years or seven years.
Speaker 2: So the fact that I know you, the fact that
Speaker 2: I even have, like, you know, a relationship with you,
Speaker 2: are you know in.
Speaker 1: The most great way. I admire that, Like because I've
Speaker 1: seen you. I've rendered a studio next to you and bust.
Speaker 2: Around to try to get at you, and I couldn't
Speaker 2: get at you. You know when I met you, and
Speaker 2: we met each other in Vegas and baggage claim so
Speaker 2: much money to be next to you and bust when
Speaker 2: you was recorded and we didn't even meet then we
Speaker 2: met in fucking Vegas and baggage claim. No, you know,
Speaker 2: I just want to say, like, and you gave me
Speaker 2: a beat.
Speaker 4: I've been watching your show, Yes, thank you, not just
Speaker 4: watching it, but loving your show. The interviews that you
Speaker 4: guys do is like you pull the truth out of folks.
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's uncomfortable for the folks. Sometimes people come here
Speaker 4: and they like just rent out how they feel. And
Speaker 4: you you created a space for for for people to
Speaker 4: express the things they that they want to get off
Speaker 4: their mind, their spirit, their energy, and it's it's it's
Speaker 4: the only, it's one of the only truth places for
Speaker 4: whatever version of truth people come to your show to
