Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was never rapping, so nobody knew me

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: for rap. So when I started rapping when I got

00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: out of the box, the first jail I went to

50
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,040

Speaker 1: That's what rest of Peace shoes. So it was a

60
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: monster and a rebel. And he had that energy man

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,960

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,440

Speaker 1: the cippy you know what. I hear that so much right,

82
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't feel like it was like that,

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: Like like I don't think because niggas, you know, I

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: was smacking DJs up. And then I'm like, nah, I ain't

85
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: never ever putting my heads on a on a DJ. Okay.

86
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of promoters but oh yeah, no, DJs. Right.

87
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: But the thing was is like sometimes we got it.

88
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: I was coming from a world where it was like

89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: it was aggressive. I've been in two places in my

90
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: whole life. It was the streets and I've been in prison,

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: and I went after the person. I went back to

92
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: the streets. So my, my, my, my introduction might have

93
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: been a little aggressive because the energy of just coming home.

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta understand the mentality of a nigga

95
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: that just been in prison all this time. Its energy

96
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: is up because we sit in the day won like

97
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: damn fantasize and your brother. Let me tell you, man,

98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: I used to sit in the day one and watch

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: y'all understand this perspective of of of seventy people in

100
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: the day one watching TRL or Rap City and they

101
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: doing Rockefeller Countdown or whatever it is, and we're just like, man,

102
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: I touched down right like and you could just fantasize.

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: And I tell proof all the time, I'm like, man,

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: we have to be down with rock and fellas. You

105
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, I want to like because

106
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: everybody like you have these dreams. You have these dreams.

107
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: I tell over a lot, man, I don't think he

108
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: understands that he know. I ain't gonna say he don't know,

109
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: but I think at one point, bro, we could have

110
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: signed the whole New York City absolutely, one hundred absolutely absolutely.

111
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: You know what y'all did for for people coming from,

112
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: especially where we come from. We're from the Star. Like

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: when you see somebody doing that, you absolutely relate to you, like, man,

114
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: it gives you some hope that you could change some

115
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: of this shit around and your life, you know what

116
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean. And back then, a lot of these kids

117
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: don't understand because it's all you gonna say. It's easy,

118
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: but it's easier than it was for us back then. Again,

119
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: in the game, you could create a YouTube channel, I

120
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: g Twitter, write your following up, and they see a music.

121
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Back then, this ship was like telling a nigga you

122
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: going to the NBA's like, no, you know, if you

123
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: had a major record deal, it was because you was

124
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: that good. That's right, right, it had to be you

125
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: was that good, and that's what it said. It was.

126
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: It was more prestigious. It was like it was a

127
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: because you had to meet a standard, like because everybody

128
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: wasn't getting record deals. Yeah, and there's certain people got

129
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 1: in because they got vouched for right, but it was

130
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: it was still who you knew though that the fact right,

131
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: which wasn't wasn't easy because everybody have act sess So

132
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't like now where you know, the technology made

133
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: it to where it's like you can go your grandmother

134
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: basement and make a record and then uploading on your

135
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Instagram and your YouTube page and then you just you

136
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: just a rapper, right, And I say this all the time.

137
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: Rap is like the only you know, you know industry

138
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: where it's no standard. You don't have to meet a requirement, right,

139
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You just can't be a

140
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: professional boxer, you know, you can't just be no. You

141
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: can't wake up and just yeah you're gonna get your

142
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Nick Bright. You can't just be a professional basketball player

143
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: like nothing. You can't wake up and get in the

144
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: no League nothing. Just can't just be a doctor, you

145
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: got it. Can't just be alloyer like you have to study, work,

146
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: study school master, right, yeah, rap you can like, man,

147
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: you know what, I got four thousand fowls. I't be rapping,

148
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: that's a fact. I'm going to the studio and then

149
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna be lit. You know what I'm saying.

150
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: In the way it's good and bad because in the

151
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: way it oversaturates the game, that's too you know, accessible

152
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: for everybody. But then the good side is more. Man,

153
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: it's making a lot of uneducated people that they qualified

154
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: to get jobs, able to feed and provide. I'm always

155
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: love that. I love that. I'm always lost shaw that

156
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: it not only give you a give gives people jobs,

157
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: but it gives you something to do. Yes right right.

158
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: The thing is, it's like it brings down the value

159
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: of what it devalues the product because if you got

160
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of bullshit, it's just like selling work, bro,

161
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: you know, you you fleck the black or trash. They

162
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: not gonna make it to the guy over here who's

163
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: out of the head banger right feel me? And it's

164
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: the same thing over here. It's or saturated. It devalues

165
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: even the idea of being a rapper because everybody is one.

166
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't even want it. I don't add

167
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: me that. But it's not even saying that. That's why

168
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: I have two sayings. Man, Even with producers, like I

169
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: feel like in this game there's beat makers and there's producers.

170
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: The beat maker is nigga who's gonna send you thirty

171
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: beats and expect you to do his job finding the

172
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: hot one producer will sit with you, come with the

173
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: long a idea he's gonna create that goes to your point.

174
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: Not a rapper, right, you're an artist espe. Oh there's rappers, right,

175
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: and then there's artists indeed who this is the art?

00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: if it if it ended now, over overachieved because I

193
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: did what they said that I couldn't understand. Like you know,

194
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't never supposed to even get this fall like

Speaker 1: you after you came home, that's right to meet you before.

198
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: And we got so much mutual friends, my chiirs, like

199
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: we know, the whole Brooklyn is the same and it's

00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: like yoh with the fun. Yeah, I'm from those yeah,

201
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: Marshy right down the black set, like literally right down

202
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: the block, my gee. So I would say to you, right,

203
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: what's the most important business lesson? You would say you

204
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: learned and gain you would give to these young don't

205
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: take none personal business same personal That's a fact. Sometimes

206
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: you can do business with with with personal people yours.

207
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: But the business and the moves that you make, it's

208
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: not a shouldn't come from a personal place, you know.

209
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of times we we uh

210
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: we tired by emotions with certain things. I see a

211
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of artists get mad at the people that they

212
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: were signed to. I thought he was my man, though,

213
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: I thought he was like you know, you see a

214
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: lot of you know, people puff for getting flat for

215
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: certain things with artists or whatever. Right, man, I'm just like,

216
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: no black man contract was worse than the white man contract.

217
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: No nobody. And I'm educated myself a little bit in

218
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: the game a little bit, so I'm saying, nobody did

219
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: no business different than they's been doing than what they've done.

220
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: Everybody like gotta remember, I feel like people gonna do

221
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: what onto others, what was done to that loom, you

222
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. If we learned the game in

223
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: a negative way, you're gonna repeat the game in a

224
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: negative way. And it's just that's just how we come.

225
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: It's like you gotta give to get right. You're not

226
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: always gonna have what you want when you want it.

227
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: But the opportunity is bigger than the chap you go

228
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: the town the opportunity. That's why it's sugar crazy to

229
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: say that, because I had I was just talking to

230
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: Norry today and he was telling me about it's a

231
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: viral video going on with Steve Harvey where he says

232
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: about yo when the person lose their fathers when they

233
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: realize that's the only man whoever wanted you to be

234
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: better than him, that there's no other man that you're

235
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna meet in your life that wants you to be

236
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: better than them. Like you know what I mean, nigga

237
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: wants you to look good, but not better than them.

238
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: And I'm telling nor of that's true. And I'm the

239
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: type of nigga. Of course I want my niggas. I

240
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: want to be the best. But if I know setting

241
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: you up to get the wind for you, it's gonna

242
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: make the win for me easier and we'll let you

243
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: be there. He was like, you're bleeding. Not everybody is

244
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm saying with your point is we

245
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: need more niggas that's willing to sacrifice the w for

246
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: the one because it makes the road easier for the

247
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: for the many. Because if we don't feel like for

248
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: this other you, then yeah, but then we gotta learn

249
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: how to work together and learn with your what your

250
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: power is, and learn with the See that's the only

251
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: way that happens. And yes, strips might be might be

252
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: a weakness for me, My weakness might be a cerin

253
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: for somebody else. You know what I'm saying. But if

254
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: we come together, then we then we then we play

255
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: to our strengths. That's right, right, and that's how and

256
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: we balance that. That's that's why I love what you

257
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: and Jim did with the lobby boys, like I respect

258
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: that because in New York, man, you know, they paint

259
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: the picture on us that we don't fuck with each other.

260
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: Man.

261
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: And and I'll just I just said that, I don't

262
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: think we get enough credit for FLA actually kind of

263
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: like brushing that backwards because it's like we we traditionally

264
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: known as the people that don't get along with each other. Yeah,

265
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: here we come. You know, Brooklyn hallm linking up and

266
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: bab and East and all of us, all of us

267
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: is building this this this friendship and then building business alignment.

268
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: You understand, like and and that and that comes by

269
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: that comes without ego. That's the only way that's gonna happen.

270
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: That's right, right. Every as a as an artist, as

271
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: a rapper, we tend to think everything is about us. Man.

272
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: You know what, why they ain't let me come out,

Speaker 1: about you. That's a fact, and you gotta learn to

276
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: get there. So sometimes I come out it's just support.

340
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,159

00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: me to realize that everything ain't forever. Because I really

347
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,040

350
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: but Rockefeller, you know what I'm saying. So when it

351
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: was coming to an end, that shit was devastating. You

352
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: didn't even see it though, No I did. You've seen it, bro, Yes,

00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: I gotta be on time, I gotta make sure I'm

Speaker 1: near because I don't want them to use that as

414
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: an excuse. So I feel like I'm I was always

415
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: coming from a deficit, you understand. So I just feel like,

416
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, we all got talent. It's just tapping into

417
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: different things. You know, we all got things about us,

418
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: you know, and as far as you know, media or

419
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: television or radio, that ship personality. Let that shine. That's right,

420
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: it's shine. You understand how to talk, that's right.

421
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 2: You know.

422
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: I was nervous of this. Yeah, I did it, nor

423
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: they told me. I'm like, man, I don't think I

424
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: do it. Got it though? You got it. You got it,

425
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: though you've been holding it down. You did it so

426
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: much like and you like a pioneer in my eyes. Bro,

427
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, Bro, you started first the kitchen Talk move.

428
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Like I should have never stopped Kitchen Talk. I stopped

429
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: that because you know, I see a lot of people

430
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: that you know, Oh you did kitchen talk and it

431
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: didn't work. No, it did work, but it worked so

432
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: well that I actually got a deal with Kitchen Talk

433
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: that we I did with Fox with Fox Soul. But

434
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: then the problem with that is that once I did

435
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: that deal with them, it stopped being a podcast and

436
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: I didn't. And I was only doing it now when

437
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: you got my check. So if you got my six figures,

438
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: I gave these ten episodes. What he's doing this on now, right,

439
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not about if being a podcast no

440
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: more so once that stopped, it's like you know, sometimes

441
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to go back and pick something back up,

442
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, But I learned a lot and I'm glad

443
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: I did it because it allows me and it helps

444
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: me to do what I'm doing to day. It's right,

445
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So every day everything that

446
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: means is like a step. It ain't no book falls bleak.

447
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, nobody tell us how to do something.

448
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna figure it out since like you give me

449
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: like a like a little bit, like something small, like

450
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: just an opportunity. That's all I need. That's all I

451
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: need is the opportunity. And like me, I feel like

452
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: we've been on the same path at even though we

453
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: never collaborated on music, well, we've been on the same

454
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: path in music. So I never been able to really

455
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: ask too many people this question, but I ask you

456
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: this because I know, Dily, how do you feel? Because

457
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: we stay in ten toes, you know, that's the that's

458
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: the code we was raised by. I don't know if

459
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: it's the area like parents, the niggas we grew up with,

460
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: like the trauma you lift through. But we always been

461
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: say what you mean, mean what you saying? Stair ten

462
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: toes on you. And they call that keeping it one, honey,

463
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 1: keeping it real, whatever they want to call it. I

464
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: just call it being the mad. How do you feel

465
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: or do you feel that has helped or hurt your

466
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: career anyway? It hurt me a lot. I feel the

467
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: same way because we don't look. I'm a very principal person,

468
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: and I'm a very prideful person. I probably swallowed my

469
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: blood before I swallowed my pride. That's right, you understand,

470
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: And sometimes you know that's not always good because this

471
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: is business, right. I had to learn how to tell

472
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: my guys. I said, listen, we can't out real these niggas.

473
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: The reason why guys like us are losing. And he

474
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: be like, why all the goofy shit is prevalent is

475
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: because they don't have no parameters. We out here saying Okay,

476
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: we don't do this, we don't do that, We don't

477
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: go back and forth with the inter of it that,

478
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: we don't do the inter of that, we don't do that. Right,

479
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: if you're not gonna win, that's right. So so the

480
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: thing about being a principal person you're gonna stand with

481
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: in your space, and everybody may not get it, and

482
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: the time you know you you may have to not

483
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: be here for them to really feel that. Because sometimes

484
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: it's like the world that we live in it is

485
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: not about that no more. It's just like everybody's just like,

486
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, what do you mean? I don't understand? Like

00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,119

Speaker 1: Every nobody has principals, nobody standing on mora rules. It's like,

489
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: and nobody cares about true right because on the Internet

490
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: now it's just about entertainment. It's just about content, whether

491
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: it's true or not. That's what thing I love what

492
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,600

Speaker 1: These people want to be entertained and I'm out here

497
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:20,119

714
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: we were shown. We were shown in a negative way,

715
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: but we still were shown because think about it, the

716
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: drug dealers and our error was getting money. Indeed, they

717
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: was getting money, and that's what made us want to

718
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: get money. Like wait, we ain't know what to do

719
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: with the money, but we knew we needed to get money.

720
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: And that I feel like we the generation showing the

721
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: young kids who getting money what to do with the money.

722
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: I tell, I tell your little niggas. I'm like you, look,

723
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: your opportunity was way greater than mine. That's a fright.

724
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: Niggas only had when I was your age. Nigs only

725
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: had cracking the gun for me. That's a fact. You

00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,480

727
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: That's it, right. So that was that was our opportunity, right,

728
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: you gotta not just tell somebody. I feel like the

729
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: lessons that was taught to us was like, Yo, you

730
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: gotta do the right thing, and you gotta if you

731
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: want to tell me to put down what I'm what

732
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing, give me something else, show me, show me,

733
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: show me better than you could take. And that that's

734
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: still applies. Kid, Just tell these kids stop sharing the

735
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: go and shall stop whatever, yo, al and put the

736
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: gun down back then set up. It was just like

737
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: me Sha his ms on drugs, he ever met his father,

738
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: he lived with his grandmother, he in the gang. It's

739
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: the same story. So you gotta actually give them something

740
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: and the and the problem is that we don't have

741

00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying, should get that radio run there. That's a

992
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: different love. Different. Yeah, That's why I'll be trying to

993
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: talking with artists that that viral YouTube Spotify you got

994
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: a million streams, is lit, but that radio hit run

995
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: is different. It's yeah, yo, it's nothing compared. It's like

996
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: they can't escape, you know. So now that you're with nowadays,

997
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: you got artists that are like stars. But you'll be like,

998
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: I don't I never heard of him. I don't know

999
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: those music. Yes, when you when you on that radio

1000
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: and it's like city the City, National hands down undeniable

1001
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: smashing record. Nobody they can escape. You know you're coming.

1002
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: They all know where he is coming on morning on

1003
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: the night, whether you requested it or not. And that's

1004
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: why I tell these kids, Man, that's what you want

1005
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: to experience, because that's why Bro send you there. He

1006
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: might not have an experience that because the game is

1007
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: so different nowadays with them. Because these kids this they

1008
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: ship on the radio. Y yeah, Bro, it might right you.

1009
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 1: You we need the DJs. Remember DJ's and the rapper

1010
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: go together. Bro. Right, it's like a center and the

1011
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: point guard. Like a point guard ain't ship without a

1012
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: good power forward or center, and they ain't ship without

1013
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: a good point guard. It all goes together. Bro, it's teamwork.

1014
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: But now because of YouTube streaming platforms, the radio is

1015
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 1: not the place where where where people discover new music

1016
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 1: from them all. No, because you don't have to go.

1017
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: You could just put your music to your fans where

1018
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: it's cool. But radio still pays the modest. Bro. Look

1019
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 1: at a publishing check, but it's like this, what's yeah,

1020
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: what's the company think for the digital stuff? That sound exchange? Bro,

1021
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: that's all digital. My sound exchange check is never not

1022
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: like what ass cat or be it right, because it's

1023
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: all radio, but sound exchange can be good if you

1024
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: had all the digital yeah right, So I mean I

1025
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: just think the feeling of having that that radio smash

1026
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 1: and you not being nobody escaping you. You know, it's

1027
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: just different. Different what it feels like nowadays it is

1028
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: like you late, you got, you got all these streams,

1029
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: but everybody don't even know who you are because the

1030
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: member the promoters ain't on Spotify, they're not on YouTube.

1031
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the ship. I think. I think that's

1032
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: starting to change though. Look at look at and be

1033
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: a Young Boy. No, n be a Young Boy is

1034
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: a phenomenon that that's a different. Like what I say,

1035
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: the people start, yeah, he's anomaly, yes, they just it's

1036
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,399
Speaker 1: just they have to set the new for the new.

1037
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: It's the one that pushed the envelope for everybody else

1038
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: to follow. Now what people follow up is because as

1039
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:14,240
Speaker 1: big as what NBA did, who knows, maybe not bigger,

1040
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: but but they now they realize. I think that they

1041
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: realize now that these kids can actually be stars in

1042
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: their own right without the radio. But it's a difference

1043
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: with NBHA because remember his influence and this is just

1044
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: my opinion, Like I don't know too many NBA Young

1045
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: Boy records, but I know who the fuck NBA Young

1046
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: Boy is, So that means his influence is bigger than

1047
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: the music. More kids want to be him. I will

1048
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: go outside. All these niggas look like NBAH with the

1049
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: music resonates though the concert. No, I see the videos

1050
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: eight thousand in the Barclays bro in the bar, first

1051
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: of all, hold on, you want to talk. I didn't

1052
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: even know we had that many Wayians in Brooklyn's. This

1053
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: is what I'm looking at the videos, like where the

1054
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: fun I knew three or four records, everything else, going

1055
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,680
