Speaker 1: Bro, But sin, since we already are, what's your take
Speaker 1: on Josh situation?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 3: Man, You know, I had a conversation with my homies
Speaker 3: today because I was looking at I was noticing that
Speaker 3: I had a few different generations. When I was talking
Speaker 3: speaking to him as my artist was in there, and
Speaker 3: my artist was in there, and gutter was in there.
Speaker 3: So I mean, what I mean by that is gutter
Speaker 3: from my generation and my artist. I'm sorry, my artist
Speaker 3: is younger. So I was just asking him. I was like,
Speaker 3: what's the necessity of what you know?
Speaker 1: What is?
Speaker 3: Then I was like, what's the necessity part of doing
Speaker 3: you know, doing that? What's that what you know posting
Speaker 3: yourself saying this is what I look at him doing.
Speaker 2: I was like, what I mean by that is.
Speaker 3: Because I'm trying to figure I'm trying to, you know,
Speaker 3: do the cliche put myself in his shoes, understand it?
Speaker 3: And I was like, so, I was like, so the
Speaker 3: best I can do without them answering before they answered
Speaker 3: that question.
Speaker 2: I told them where I was at with it. I say,
Speaker 2: so the best the best time.
Speaker 3: I was like, so, the best I could do is
Speaker 3: remember when I was younger and my home's squad, all
Speaker 3: my niggas around me, when and we were at the
Speaker 3: age where they don't have money. I'm the one with
Speaker 3: the money, you know what I mean? And then I
Speaker 3: don't even know how much money I will end up with.
Speaker 3: But I'm a mom with some money in my pocket.
Speaker 3: I know I got a bright future. My homies I ain't.
Speaker 3: They ain't no payroll, They ain't my homies.
Speaker 2: They live good.
Speaker 3: When they with me, when I go to when I
Speaker 3: gotta go by stunning them and go to work and
Speaker 3: all that, they gotta go back to being who they
Speaker 3: gotta be, you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean.
Speaker 3: So what I'm saying saying that to say them the streets,
Speaker 3: and I was aware of that. So I was I say,
Speaker 3: so if I was going through something at that point
Speaker 3: in time, something public like with Slam going through, I said,
Speaker 3: I could imagine the rebel the rebellious attitude I would
Speaker 3: have if my home is just egging attitude on right,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? I like to and Alside
Speaker 3: was like, what they also need to understand. What we
Speaker 3: also need to understand is we don't want talking about
Speaker 3: this like that. It's not not I don't know this
Speaker 3: for a fact, but just in a lot of situations
Speaker 3: like this, when we all talking about it, the actual
Speaker 3: person and the people were talking about they actually they
Speaker 3: purposely stay away from this. They stay away from all
Speaker 3: this we're saying. They stay away from hearing this. And they
Speaker 3: got people that are protecting them from that's gonna hear
Speaker 3: it for them.
Speaker 2: They're gonna protect them from hearing it.
Speaker 3: So what I mean by that is, if I had
Speaker 3: something going on in the public that you know is
Speaker 3: negative about me my home, We're gonna they purposely making
Speaker 3: sure we still man, we don't even want them to
Speaker 3: hear it. So it's hard for the message to get through, right,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's hard for the message
Speaker 3: all these you know, you got people looking dead and
Speaker 3: the cameras on TV like then I'm talking to you job.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, It's hard for the message
Speaker 3: to get through, man, when you because I'm the bread winner,
Speaker 3: I wish your nigga would tell me something, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 2: I wish your nigga would tell me. It's almost like.
Speaker 3: I look at it like Zion, how you keep it
Speaker 3: begging him to lose weight, getting better shape and this that.
Speaker 3: I wish your nigga would tell me something. Right, not
Speaker 3: much money I got boy, just like this like this, nigga,
Speaker 3: I wish your nigga, nigga, what trade me?
Speaker 2: What? What? And That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I'm like, so, so I had to ask myself, what's
Speaker 3: the necessity of me?
Speaker 2: Because I like, so what that said?
Speaker 3: I was to answer that question if I was asked
Speaker 3: at that time, so, what's the necessity to you being
Speaker 3: so rebellious right now?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Was like, my only answer would have been is because
Speaker 3: I I don't even hear the truth. I don't want
Speaker 3: to hear what y'all think the truth is and the facts.
Speaker 3: My truth is my truth, and you know this is
Speaker 3: what I come from this, and I come from that
Speaker 3: and I got I got my twelve jurors. That's that's okay,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And so so when I
Speaker 3: asked myself, so what's the new sud like, so, what's
Speaker 3: the necessity?
Speaker 2: I say, because I could.
Speaker 3: Imagine if I would have did it at that time,
Speaker 3: my answer would have been to show y'all don't know
Speaker 3: who I'm. Y'all don't know who I got problems with.
Speaker 3: Y'all only know this, y'all only know the me that
Speaker 3: y'all know. You know what I mean, the puppy, y'all know,
Speaker 3: the rapper or whatever, whatever. But should we in these
Speaker 3: streets and I need them? Niggas to know every time
Speaker 3: I need them necks to know when I ain't on
Speaker 3: that quarter, when I ain't on.
Speaker 2: That stage, it's on me.
Speaker 3: And that's why I like, that'll be my answer for
Speaker 3: a while. I like that if my mama probably had
Speaker 3: to ask me in real life at that time, why
Speaker 3: are you doing that?
Speaker 2: And I had to give her a real answer. I
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm trying to understand, like maybe that
Speaker 3: would be my only answer that makes sense to me,
Speaker 3: and I would hope she was still damn it, boy,
Speaker 3: you tripping.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: But I I had to, but they didn't have, you know,
Speaker 3: there was like there's like tune, that's the answer for
Speaker 3: niggas who are really in the streets, right, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? And I was like, before you say that, like,
Speaker 3: don't fall into that trap that these people doing on
Speaker 3: TV saying because he ain't no thug, cause he ain't
Speaker 3: in the street, he ain't about that he you know gang?
Speaker 2: You do? You don't want that? How y'all know you?
Speaker 3: You don't want y'all know that boy?
Speaker 2: Do y'all know that boy?
Speaker 3: Because I don't I know him from dunking and jumping,
Speaker 3: and I only started knowing him and when I started
Speaker 3: paying attention to running last year, last year of college.
Speaker 3: I come from like a town of three thousand people. Like,
Speaker 3: what what y'all y'all what you gave that mean y'all
Speaker 3: gave him two entndyd million dollars. I just sat a
Speaker 3: town with three thousand people. You expect him to be responsible?
Speaker 3: Now we tripping. Then now we tripping, and we expected
Speaker 3: him to be That's magic because I could take You know,
Speaker 3: I come from a real well raised, beautiful mother nice,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, My mama bus I asked
Speaker 3: to make sure everything around me was nice, and I
Speaker 3: still was a knucklehead.
Speaker 2: I shot myself, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So so if you expected and that young man from
Speaker 3: a three I could imagine if I came from fucking
Speaker 3: what to play with three thousand people and yet and
Speaker 3: I became who I am.
Speaker 1: But they had social media when I was twenty three,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have made it.
Speaker 4: Well, I think, yeah, thank god, I think that was
Speaker 4: a good question you asked your youngest artist, though, because
Speaker 4: we don't know what it's like to grow up with
Speaker 4: the with the phone, and that's what you know.
Speaker 3: It's there on this and so what I said, what
Speaker 3: I said all that to day, I said, I just said,
Speaker 3: they came up with no answer for why he don't
Speaker 3: you know what I mean when I told him, let's
Speaker 3: just not say he is he's not that because we
Speaker 3: don't know that.
Speaker 2: I like, so, so what that says?
Speaker 3: They was like to answer, well, they was like, so
Speaker 3: to answer your question, since we don't know that of him,
Speaker 3: I'll answer. They were like, we'll answer you of what

Speaker 3: timeless She inspired me to stop rapping for the times
Speaker 3: and make sure my lyrics what timeless?
Speaker 2: You know what?

Speaker 3: you know what I mean saying? I always like, why
Speaker 3: you get so fucking uncomfortable? Like broke getting uncomfortab because relations?
Speaker 2: Uh? Any other artists though you looked up to.
Speaker 4: As far as rappers, any any genre music did inspire
Speaker 4: Miss Anita?
Speaker 2: You got.
Speaker 3: I looked up to and it's like you said, it's
Speaker 3: some interesting you know as unique people. So it would
Speaker 3: be like people like I would listen to a lot
Speaker 3: of Lennie Wilkins and Ms Betty Right, and I would
Speaker 3: listen to them for it's almost like, uh, you know
Speaker 3: how some people some religions.
Speaker 2: Got like thirty guys they pray through.
Speaker 3: I pray for this for when I'm smoking too much,
Speaker 3: for listening to your mine, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: So like I listened to Ms Betty and Lenny, they
Speaker 3: found in the category of me listening to them knowing
Speaker 3: how to make the transition of talking into going back
Speaker 3: into your song your song. And because they would have
Speaker 3: one song on they only it's like seven minutes, and
Speaker 3: it's because they sung it and then they started in
Speaker 3: the middle of it, they did a whole story that
Speaker 3: you know, you literally not as a word for word,
Speaker 3: the story like you and I want to learn that
Speaker 3: how you do that?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like how do you make that transition? I thought juvenile
Speaker 3: did it real well. And I thought he asked, actually
Speaker 3: knew how to master making his regular conversation a song,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like that's you the Yeah
Speaker 3: like that nigga mastered that ship, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: So that other things like that.
Speaker 2: So as far as rappers, it was all Jay.
Speaker 4: You've been making a lot of money for a long time.
Speaker 4: What does that do to a young man? I mean,
Speaker 4: obviously the world is thrown at you fast, but you've
Speaker 4: been making money since she was a young, young teenager.
Speaker 2: How did that kind of shape you?
Speaker 4: And what habits did you have or have to break
Speaker 4: as you continue to mature.
Speaker 3: First I would have to I would have to give
Speaker 3: all thanks and all that to my mom, watching my
Speaker 3: mom before I had a dime, you know, just watching
Speaker 3: her and how she got money and what she did
Speaker 3: when she got money, how she had to do money
Speaker 3: and treat them and just things like watching her that
Speaker 3: taught me a whole lot, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So she kept me reject that made me responsible from
Speaker 3: the first day and also being grateful and being thankful
Speaker 3: for it. So I meaning you give me. I wasn't
Speaker 3: never expected anything. And also you know he can also
Speaker 3: attest you. I love I love to fucking wrap, so
Speaker 3: you by pay me to do this shit, So you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. So when I was so young
Speaker 3: and so my first check came, I brought straight to her.
Speaker 3: I couldn't even catch with it ain't even enough. It's
Speaker 3: not even in my name, and it say it's her name.
Speaker 3: So and her I thought she was gonna use it
Speaker 3: for bills or whatever. And she get right back and like, now, boy,
Speaker 3: keep your money, and she's like, what you want with it?
Speaker 3: And so I went and bought a path funder because
Speaker 3: new Jeorgy Drive had just came out. I thought them
Speaker 3: called the PA. They were still in a bunch of
Speaker 3: path funds and I thought that was dope. So someone
Speaker 3: got a path funder. And that's the way she was
Speaker 3: the moment we got all of the when the big
Speaker 3: money came in, I gave it, you know, everyone, straight
Speaker 3: to her. She would get it right back, like I
Speaker 3: don't need nothing but that right there, just to humble
Speaker 3: her humility in that moment, in those moments when you
Speaker 3: know you need it, you know what I mean, like
Speaker 3: her humility and those moments taught me to be the
Speaker 3: same way. So and it's still to this day, I
Speaker 3: don't you know what I mean so much so to her,
Speaker 3: I have actually never strategically, I've never strategically said up
Speaker 3: to make a dollar yet. And that's about him. Never
Speaker 3: once said, man, listen, I need to do this for it,
Speaker 3: We need to get that. And it's just still to
Speaker 3: this day, I still treat it as all of them.
Speaker 2: It's all a blessing. That's why I be coming in too. Uh.
Speaker 4: You spoke recently on mental health health and the struggles
Speaker 4: and how it impacted you at a young age. What
Speaker 4: would be your message to anyone that is that that
Speaker 4: is struggling with mental illness right now and kind of
Speaker 4: keeping it bottled up.
Speaker 2: That's the last thing.
Speaker 3: You should just keep it bottled up regardless. And these
Speaker 3: days are different. Man, you got so many I say
Speaker 3: that to say, you got so many outlets, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? Back then, we couldn't just find an
Speaker 3: app or somebody that you know what I mean. We
Speaker 3: couldn't do that. We couldn't text, We couldn't you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean. But so it was and we really
Speaker 2: couldn't even speak on speak on it. It was just crazy.
Speaker 3: It was like speaking I might set you a situation
Speaker 3: that you could speak on now that you wouldn't get
Speaker 3: looked crazier. So with that said, if you are going
Speaker 3: through any type of mental stress. The last thing to
Speaker 3: do is keep it to yourself, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And that doesn't mean go speak to someone else, because
Speaker 3: if that if you can't accomplish that, sometimes you literally
Speaker 3: can't do that. But figure out a way to get
Speaker 3: it out and make sure it's not negative. Try your hardest,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Would you figure out a
Speaker 3: way to get it out, figure some kind of way,
Speaker 3: And that's I resulted to.
Speaker 2: The pending path, you know what I mean. You gotta
Speaker 2: figure it out.
Speaker 1: Debut album, The Block Is Hot ninety nine. What was
Speaker 1: your mind frame when it was all that was popping off?
Speaker 1: We popped up with the first album. It was work
Speaker 1: then it was just an animal, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: You know when I say it worked to I don't
Speaker 3: mean like nine to five work, I mean like school work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was you.
Speaker 3: I was still I was in the house, the house
Speaker 3: still the youngest of the Cowboys group. It was it
Speaker 3: was that we already had to proceed, you know, we
Speaker 3: put we put the high boys at them out. Juvie album,
Speaker 3: come out, solo album, come out first, Beatchy solo album,
Speaker 3: come out in second way in the Turk, y'all gotta
Speaker 3: see whatever Buzz's gonna go, We're gonna go with y'alls.
Speaker 3: I hit it up there, so you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: It was a procedure, like it was just okay, mine
Speaker 3: coming out and just I remember, you know, the procedure was,
Speaker 3: thank god, the procedure was everybody who album came out,
Speaker 3: they went platinum and within the first month and all this,
Speaker 3: and so that was a little you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: You like, I don't know I'm gonna do all that
Speaker 3: with in my turn, and when I came out, thank
Speaker 3: God did and so you know.
Speaker 2: I was just happy to keep the procedure going, that's all.
Speaker 4: What kind of stuff do you learn from people like
Speaker 4: Juvian and Beg in that process you're seeing greatness of
Speaker 4: phrase like us playing with a code at a young age,
Speaker 4: like you're seeing greatness in front of you.
Speaker 2: What kind of stuff did you soak up from them?
Speaker 2: From Juvie?
Speaker 3: Straight up, Juvet knew how to separate it, how to
Speaker 3: separate with it because Juliet he would travel with entourage
Speaker 3: like this because ju came from them projects and so
Speaker 3: he wanted to help every down body, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. So, but he knew how to with all
Speaker 3: that said, you know, he'd still be life for the
Speaker 3: part of his with this, but knew how to okay
Speaker 3: and cut it and get to work. That's what I
Speaker 3: would always learn. I would take from him that he
Speaker 3: knew how to shut it down, shut it off, and
Speaker 3: get straight to work. To so much so that he's
Speaker 3: about to kill a song. He about to kill that bitch,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's not about to be
Speaker 3: some ship where you got to put him away up,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. He's not about to rap
Speaker 3: about whatever the hell they was just talking about. I
Speaker 3: would notice little things, like all significant things like that,
Speaker 3: like wow, we all was just laughing about this one
Speaker 3: subject and song is similar to the subject, but he
Speaker 3: ain't say one thing about that. Yeah, I would know.
Speaker 3: I would pittention to little things like that with him
Speaker 3: to notice that. That's how broad, that's how wide his

Speaker 3: at the end of it, and that people thought that
Speaker 3: it should say be gz. It was the BG's and
Speaker 3: I had got pulled away from the group, so all

Speaker 3: Like, oh, I feel like that too when I hear it.
Speaker 2: I heard it.
Speaker 3: I heard a few flicks on some other songs that
Speaker 3: you're not delivering like I live, so stopped doing that.
Speaker 4: I got a question like, obviously you have to listen
Speaker 4: to your music. When when do you want to hear it?
Speaker 4: When don't you want to hear it?
Speaker 3: Uh? I want to hear it all the time, and
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear it never ever, so all
Speaker 3: the time, So I listen to no one else. Oh okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's no, it's I'm always listening to what I
Speaker 3: just did.
Speaker 2: When I'm trying to fix and ship.
Speaker 3: So it's not by choice that I don't hear when
Speaker 3: I say no one else, I mean not even my
Speaker 3: own artist. So that's I always like to let get
Speaker 3: that out there when I say that, I don't listen
Speaker 3: to no one else like gu Gotta little text me, Yo,
Speaker 3: this is such and such a new single and the video.
Speaker 3: Oh ship they got a video due Damn, I ain't
Speaker 3: knowing that motherfucker. It's awesome right there. He killed that ship,
Speaker 3: he killed that shop. I might listen to the first
Speaker 3: four of ours already said on the first one, he
Speaker 3: text like Nigga said, get back to my ship.
Speaker 2: That's that's the only reamon.
Speaker 3: Let's tell you, I gotta I'm a perfectionist, trying to
Speaker 3: make sure that I should have said is you should
Speaker 3: have probably said the you probably shouldn't even sit in
Speaker 3: that type of ship.
Speaker 2: Got you? What do you think two thousand and four
Speaker 2: of the quarter? What do you think the Carter did
Speaker 2: for your career? Uh?
Speaker 3: At the time, I think it gains. I think it's uh.
Speaker 3: It was the start of it was the start of
Speaker 3: a path I was able to create, you know, I
Speaker 3: mean the path of uh the path that deserved continuous,
Speaker 3: deserve to continue, and a continuation, a pat that deserved
Speaker 3: to extend. And that's as hard for some people. Some
Speaker 3: people could drop a hard ass album and I don't
Speaker 3: hit the rest, you know what I mean, I ain't
Speaker 3: looking for your next album.
Speaker 2: But the card allowed me to. Now we want hit
Speaker 2: car to Car three, you know.
Speaker 3: So I always looked at it like it was a
Speaker 3: maturity thing for me, like it was my little.
Speaker 2: For some reason.
Speaker 3: We always approaching just for the carter, Like, you know
Speaker 3: what that one every time we're working on obviously, you
Speaker 3: know I work all damn day every day. So when
Speaker 3: we get one that you know, it's for the cartness,
Speaker 3: So it's nothing about it. Yeah, So it's like, so
Speaker 3: what makes this for the cussop? Obviously it sets a standard.
Speaker 3: I set a standard with that album, Yeah, exactly, a
Speaker 3: big standard.
Speaker 4: Uh mix tape, Wayne, I mean that was unbelievable, you know,
Speaker 4: after the part of one and two? Uh, what was
Speaker 4: the thinking behind them? Just that whole by the way
Speaker 4: he told me to do this, by the way, yeah
Speaker 4: what you said it was?
Speaker 2: Just what was it? What was the whole thought process
Speaker 2: behind the mixtape? Push? The first one is you know,
Speaker 2: the first one I did was just.
Speaker 3: Getting okay from baby that him telling me is okay,
Speaker 3: like I could buy out this music that when he.
Speaker 2: Was okay, it's all good ship. So that was the
Speaker 2: first one I put out.
Speaker 3: I think it was like ten thousand bars and they
Speaker 3: start calling him the mixtapes and whatever.
Speaker 2: We was giving that shit out free.
Speaker 3: So that was actually the thing about Wayne shit, Wayne's
Speaker 3: always free. Wayne's always free. So I don't blame me
Speaker 3: that charge and switch the game up on y'all flipped
Speaker 3: it up to me too much now that I actually
Speaker 3: got charge off of my mixtapes now, so don't blame me,
Speaker 3: blame the game. But yeah, so as far as you know,
Speaker 3: and my approach to mixtapes was always different. I always
Speaker 3: thought a mixtape was supposed to be and I still do.
Speaker 3: I still do my mixtapes that we I thought it
Speaker 3: was supposed to be. You wanting to hear me on
Speaker 3: the songs that's out that I'm not on, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like ten ten hot that songs that
Speaker 3: you're in the club banging Terry Dale or whatever I
Speaker 3: am about killing bitches for you, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And I thought that's what and I'm gonna rap it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say the same melodies the person used was
Speaker 3: about a good two seconds. But you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm flip some words and shell like make it fun.
Speaker 2: And I always thought that's what it should be and
Speaker 2: so something.
Speaker 3: That's why that that's how I tack my mixtapes, and
Speaker 3: that's how I always have.
Speaker 2: But now mixtapes have changed. How people be looking for
Speaker 2: four albums.
Speaker 3: You driving a mixtape and so gutting to be having
Speaker 3: to make sure you're i mean mag having to make
Speaker 3: sure y'all do at least three or four just originals,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, mac man, this is my album or
Speaker 3: it's for something. But now this is what the guys
Speaker 3: is about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, take us through the creative process.
Speaker 2: How long does it take for you too? Are you rolling?
Speaker 2: You're not?
Speaker 4: Got a handful of songs in the day, sang the time.
Speaker 4: Take us behind the scenes and people who haven't seen
Speaker 4: you in the studio.
Speaker 3: It depends on what I'm doing it for. Its features.
Speaker 3: Features usually come with a subject, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So I mean that person send me a song, this song,
Speaker 3: I already got a subject.
Speaker 2: They got a hook on there. I'm real good with
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, when you give me a subject, I'm it's
Speaker 3: like school, I was, I won't finish my work first.
Speaker 3: And I mean, so I want to impress the damn teacher.
Speaker 3: You're the tach, whoever the artist was that sent me
Speaker 3: the song. I want to impress you stick to this
Speaker 3: damn subject and so that those are pretty And I
Speaker 3: dont want to say eating nothing's easy, but those are
Speaker 3: pretty convenient for me.
Speaker 2: As far as my ship. You gotta come, you know,
Speaker 2: you gotta, you gotta come.
Speaker 3: And stop me and tune. We need we need X
Speaker 3: amount of songs by this date. And and I just
Speaker 3: give you like I mean, I let y'all pick them, man,

Speaker 3: but I'm always you know, I'm doing so much different
Speaker 3: music now that that process has changed. I mean, my
Speaker 3: studio now, my studio sessions now consist of the musical,

Speaker 3: Brian to be from you know, from Afar watching from Afar, Brian,
Speaker 3: and it's on the court. Brian, you gotta remind yourself
Speaker 3: that I mean. I mean, I know for a fact
Speaker 3: I love Jordan for the way he fucking always won.
Speaker 3: And the kid you don't you don't know too much
Speaker 3: about the ins and outs and all the other ship
Speaker 3: that we love now in the game that I'm old
Speaker 3: enough to care about.
Speaker 2: So I just who won. That's my favorite player. He
Speaker 2: better win.
Speaker 3: He always fucking win, That's all I know, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? So I know I got old enough
Speaker 3: to know how hard it is to fucking do it
Speaker 3: back to back to back, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So that's that's why he got his games. Is respect
Speaker 3: with me, you know what I mean. Start getting his respect
Speaker 3: with me to he's the greatest, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Then I would so I would know. I noticed that, Okay,
Speaker 3: Brian done that ship. It's very hard to do. It's like,
Speaker 3: damn that nigga, Brian had done that ship with three teams.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, that that's right there. That's when I was like, regardless,
Speaker 3: he ain't got six. I was like, but damn he
Speaker 3: done it with three different teams and and not on
Speaker 3: one of those motherfucking teams. Have he was did he
Speaker 3: played part two? I mean road too. He still can
Speaker 3: get six though. That's the scary point. Yeah, definitely, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And so that right there is with Tip Tim over
Speaker 3: the Jordan skiff for me, because you already know I
Speaker 3: was Jordan's. You couldn't have that conversation with me. It
Speaker 3: wasn't even conversation until I have to really think, like,
Speaker 3: you know what, Slim is still in this ship twenty
Speaker 3: years strong, you know what I mean? Like Slim is
Speaker 3: fucking amazing. He's been amazing every year every since, like
Speaker 3: he ain't never prime always like when they be saying,
Speaker 3: you know, like you need to retire you on top.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying that cliche you need to
Speaker 3: tie you on top to anyone like you need to retire,
Speaker 3: retire on time. It's the best way to go on
Speaker 3: like that, nigga, Brian don't even know what the middle
Speaker 3: feel like about. It's all he's ever been like. So
Speaker 3: that right there is just amazing, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: His longevity and whatever he did doing to his body
Speaker 3: or what is or whatever if that nigga, he must
Speaker 3: be praying a maid nigga protected, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: and I respect it and Bron we trust, yeah, and
Speaker 3: I respect. I respect. That's why he tip. That's where
Speaker 3: he took the meter from me. Because he's doing this
Speaker 3: and then off the court, you can't even come on, come.
Speaker 2: On, yeah, that right there. We ain't seen nothing like
Speaker 2: that from a superstar.
Speaker 3: Like like you know, Brian and Brian named and snuck
