But I've always kept 255 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: working in nine times out of ten when I go 256 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: to the studio, whatever style I'm doing, I'm blessed enough 257 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: that the other artists would be like, hey man, this 258 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 2: this ship is cracked. Put the ship on there. So 259 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: that really that that first door being shut in my 260 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: face by not by me not being played on the radio. 261 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: I think it's a significant fact that I work my 262 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: ass off and twenty three, you know, thirty four years later, 263 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: I'm over four thousand and one and twenty eight features. 264 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. 265 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 4: I heard of thousand mofucker, so I got about a 266 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 4: thousands at the Doe thousand. 267 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: So it's it's unheard of, and a lot of people 268 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: look at me and I'm like, nah, that's some bullshit. 269 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: But people know what's happening because I can show you 270 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: better than I can tell you. And I ain't never 271 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 2: think about being the most featured artist. I was. I 272 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 2: was the person that was, you know, influencer, just as 273 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: well as influenced by your MS and your doctor dre's 274 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: and above the laws and your dcs and the list 275 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: goes on and it's like still sharp and still at 276 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: the same time. So you know, that was the beginning 277 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: of something that was very good because years later, you know, 278 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: the resilience of any artists that stay consistent is the 279 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 2: reason why they manifest and where they are today is 280 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: because this game is brutal. It's worse than the dope game, 281 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But music was embedded in me, 282 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 2: and I was like, shit, man, I'm gonna keep going 283 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna throw in the towel. Because a 284 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 2: lot of people became one of it wonders and through 285 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 2: in the town. We could look at each other here 286 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: and as old g's and as elders. You know, it's 287 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: a blessing to go back and see youngsters all over 288 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: the world now being intrigue with what's going on, because 289 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: we used to be like that when we used to 290 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: look at old records and we used to we was like, 291 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: then who did this? Who did that? So now it's 292 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: going back because of the computers of worm up digging 293 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: into crates and it's right on time, man. So you know, 294 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: I'm happy. I don't live with no regrets through the 295 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: good and bad. You know, the same thing that's designed 296 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 2: to kind of stop you was the very same thing 297 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: to catapult you years later. 298 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: And see, you know what you being around Drake kind 299 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: of in this I ain't gonna say it's emphasty stages 300 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: because it's by the time Drake was doing NWA, he 301 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: had done world class recking crew and all kinds of 302 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: other stuff. But you getting to work with him back 303 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: then versus you getting to work with him now, kind 304 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: of like in the prisons when you guys start doing 305 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: all the stuff aftermath and everything like that.

Warreng 333 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: G said one time. 334 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 7: To Jewel, he was like this, I make you chuck 335 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 7: my dick and then want no bullshit. And then Jewel 336 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 7: was so covid she said, well pull the motherfucker out there, 337 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. 338 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: So those times around there, you know, seeing Jude, even 339 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: michele A, Warren G above the law, Doc mc ran, Rescue, 340 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: pece CPO, Chip DJ Train, Rest in Peace, you know 341 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 2: what I'm saying, It was incredible because you got to 342 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: realize all the success that came from ruthless. It's a 343 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: significant reason why because of ruthless success is the reason 344 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: why death Row is successful, is the reason why West 345 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 2: Coast is successful. Of course, big ups to my twin, 346 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 2: my og Pont the iced Tea. You know, he laid 347 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: down the foundation, taking some of the elements because he 348 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: knew the East Coast roots. But then easy put the 349 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: shit on steroids because he took a chance being from Compton, 350 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: and Compton is a significant part of West Coast because 351 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: they gave cats from Pomona. They gave cats from Cleveland, 352 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And that was the mission statement. 353 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: You know, when Easy decided to put up his water money, 354 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: you know, and his dope money for this to happen 355 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: is the reason why years later it became a multi, multi, 356 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: multi billion dollar industry helding from the West Coast. So 357 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 2: you know when you tell me that the Easy don't 358 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: get his credit, he deserved, that's genuine because he don't. Man, 359 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 2: do not because Easy took a chance on us. Man, 360 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: you know, he never made you feel like a two 361 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 2: dollar bill. The nigga used to roll with the Compton 362 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: had in the back with the big ass body bends 363 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 2: quartis and woo tee woo, pulling off greate nuts and 364 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: made you feel like he was a multi million dollar nigga. 365 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: So I learned that from him, how he was able 366 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 2: to not just mex mess with brothers from the hood, 367 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 2: but mess with essays that was a no no and 368 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 2: political at that time. He took a chance. Then he 369 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: went outside. I had the coast because he had the 370 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 2: vision to say, Man, I'm listening to these dudes from Cleveland. 371 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: They're gonna be the next this, this, this, and that 372 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: Eric ideas a lot of people don't know people. I 373 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 2: ain't gonna say bite, but was inspired by his ideas. 374 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: Even all of us can say that, no, mam. So 375 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: you know, for me to be here and being that 376 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 2: I was able to do what I was able to do, 377 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 2: as being on all these records, I always pay homage 378 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: to Eric, right, And of course I pay homage to 379 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 2: Dre and everybody else that invited me on their project. 380 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: It would be my blind arrogance if I was to say, yeah, 381 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: I'm the most speeched artist, but love is a two 382 00:19:48,320 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 2: way street. Me all those people invited me on there, 383 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: like your aids and your Dre's and your stoops and 384 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 2: your bust the rhymes. And so that's the importance of 385 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: fellowship and unity that years later, because some of the 386 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 2: homies ain't gone. Rest of Peaks KMG recipeace a lot 387 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: of people. But we're here as pillars to really reminded 388 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: the youngsters that hey have a certain tribal protocol. We're 389 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: not here to bash the youngsters, but we're here to say, 390 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: get your elbows off the table. You know what I mean, 391 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: because back when we was raised, you have your elbows 392 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 2: on the table. Granny was slept shit out of you, 393 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: and it's like, we got to get back to that 394 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: because the youngsters is our future. So the discourse and 395 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 2: disconnect between them is the reason why I think that 396 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: we're still here able to put out those frequencies in 397 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: magic and tell these stories that really gonna inspire people 398 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 2: because people forgot about those stories and we didn't have 399 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: no internet, we had storytelling. 400 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 5: Do you feel you know what I mean? 401 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 6: Because you come from the era of you know where 402 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 6: I came from as far as music and hip hop 403 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 6: is concerned. But you know, a lot of young influence 404 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 6: nowadays really kind of you know, I want to disassociate 405 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 6: themselves with our generation of hip hop. Not all because 406 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 6: there's a lot of today rappers or the generation behind 407 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 6: us or whatever that respect, you know, the craft that 408 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 6: you know I did or Easy did, or King Tea 409 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 6: or Iced Tea. 410 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 5: But then there's a lot of. 411 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 6: There's a lot of disconnection from dudes who want to 412 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 6: even associate with our era of hip hop. 413 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 5: Well, how you feel about that? 414 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, youngster's got to know that ain't 415 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: no expiration data on dope music period. It's not like 416 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 2: you in the NBA and then you break your achilles 417 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: and then you can't play no more. But you see 418 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: cats like George Clinton eighty three years old, still killing them, 419 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And it's only in hip hop. 420 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: You can go to you can go to rock and bro. 421 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: You can have Mick Jagger, they can fall off, they 422 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: can lay back for fifteen years and pack eighty thousand 423 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: people and the stuff. So the stigma between young and old, 424 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 2: it's just some bullshit and bullshit propaganda that if you're 425 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 2: willing to listen to it, you're gonna be seduced by it. 426 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: So I'm saying all the youngsters out there, you know, 427 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 2: get back to the point to where you learn from 428 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 2: the legends. And at the same time, it's accountability for 429 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 2: the ogs because some OG's wasn't even leading people youngsters 430 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: the right way. Let's just keep it one hundred. Let's 431 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: not throw it all on the youngsters like that, you 432 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's accountability for everything. But it's 433 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 2: a season for us to go ahead and talk about it. 434 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: So that way, you know, once we gone and our music, 435 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 2: you know, a hundred years from now, we'll be able 436 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 2: to make a difference and be a cornerstone piece to 437 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 2: influence them. And of course, you know, the disrespect is 438 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 2: not tolerated, you know what I mean, because we was 439 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 2: raised from the era well we you know, you would 440 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: have a hundred gang bankers out, you know, in my 441 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: front yard or something. And when miss y'all meanee Selem 442 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 2: came by and said take that shit down the street, 443 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 2: we say yes, yes, miss y'all, I mean the celn yes, ma'am. Now, 444 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: because of the Internet and because of the real weirdo shit, 445 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: it turned up on steroids to where they're mostly projecting disrespect. 446 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 2: But the good the good thing about us is that, 447 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: oh Jesus, back to back against the wall. It could 448 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: be a lot of y'all, but we're gonna stand tall 449 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: because you know, all sperm cells don't get to the egg. 450 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 2: Only one gonna listen. So you know, if we talking 451 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 2: to that one youngster out of ten that ain't gonna listen, 452 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 2: that's gonna make a difference. And it really ain't no disconnect. 453 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: It's all mental, you know what I mean. But more 454 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: and more we embrace our youngsters with letting them know that, hey, 455 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 2: it's a tribal order to this shit. You know what 456 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't get down that, like we don't dish. 457 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: When George Clinton come in the room, I don't disrespect him. 458 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: I might have a difference of opinion, but at the 459 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 2: same time, I don't disrespect my elders. And we just 460 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 2: got to keep pushing it and pushing it and stay 461 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 2: in the rhythm so that way the youngsters could feel 462 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 2: comfortable as the OG's feel comfortable. Boy opening up that 463 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: dialogue with everybody not pointing fingers, well, no, it's not 464 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 2: about that. 465 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 3: Is that really still though? 466 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 4: At this point?

So I'm gonna leave it right there. 857 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 6: It's a lot of people have a lot of difference 858 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 6: of opinions and controversy behind. 859 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 5: What happened to you know, because of the way it 860 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 5: happened and how. 861 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 2: Like this put it like this. A lot of motherfuckers 862 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 2: don't know. Easy was really connected. He was connected connected 863 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,839 Speaker 2: on some other ship, and he wanted to do right 864 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,320 Speaker 2: by his artists. He wanted to do right by n WA, 865 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 2: his whole ship. But because he was too deep in 866 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 2: the ocean, you don't know what to expect. 867 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: It's a lot, especially when you start talking about that 868 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,359 Speaker 1: amount of money, because I know the physical game, right, 869 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 1: you're talking about two hundred thousand records. If you were 870 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: able to go print up to press up two hundred 871 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: thousand records overseas, you gotta think about the exchange rate 872 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 1: at that time for like the pound right compared to 873 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,359 Speaker 1: the American dollar. So if you go over there and 874 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,760 Speaker 1: get five five you tell it to them for five pounds, 875 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 1: that means you getting ten dollars, possibly ten to fifty 876 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: depending on this change rate that day. So we talk 877 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,879 Speaker 1: about millions of dollars being gone. Man, somebody could feel 878 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: that some kind of way when they get put out 879 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 1: that monic. 880 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 2: Cheese and see Eric was like, man, we're finna get 881 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 2: NWA back together.

You know further, if Easier 886 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: stayed it live, let's just stay theoretically he stayed alive. 887 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 1: You think Ruthless probably been the biggest record label hip, 888 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,400 Speaker 1: our record label of all time. 889 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 2: Of course, of course, absolutely, because it wasn't no stopping us. 890 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 2: It was something new, it was fresh. It was I'm 891 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 2: from a suppressed environment where everybody I don't care where 892 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 2: you're from. They related to that, you know what I mean. 893 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 2: They influenced all of us, man. I mean, you can 894 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 2: go back and say I might have been rapping at 895 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 2: the same time, but they out the gate. They influenced 896 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 2: all of us. Man, that allowed people from a suppressed 897 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,359 Speaker 2: environment or ghettos or a hood for us to go 898 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,960 Speaker 2: ahead and capitulate to success. You know, we were very 899 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 2: successful because you know who would think, man like a 900 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 2: brother from Compton that put up his dope money and 901 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 2: years later you see the family tree he created. It 902 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 2: just on a business administrative level, it's just astronomical. So 903 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 2: of course they would have been the biggest shit ever 904 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 2: because death Row wouldn't be death Row without the success 905 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:51,720 Speaker 2: of Rupeleus records. 906 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta remember.
