Everybody you know, 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: agreed that it was the time we started thinking of 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: a name. Everybody's like this one that that that the 16 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: Final Chamber And with that we are Why the Final 17 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: Chamber though, Like, how do you know you're putting the 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: period on this? Is it just for the tour just 19 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: Wu Tang in general? Oh? No, for the Wu Tangs's 20 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: why that's why we see that. We put that Wu 21 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: Tang forever in there, because it's you know, who tank 22 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: is beyond just our physical presence of it, you know, 23 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: what I mean. But far as us coming together and 24 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: coming to your city, all non members on stage, you 25 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean. You know, when you get your ticket, 26 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: you're getting all that. You're getting that, you know what 27 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: I mean, because sometimes you go to a Woo show 28 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: you might get four five, you know what I mean. 29 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: So it's just like now here, we all are clear 30 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: your schedule for this, you know what I mean, And 31 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: it's running around the globe one more time together. So 32 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: we'll start right here in America, give it to you know, 33 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: then shoot across the water, you know what I mean, 34 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: show some love and just you know, kind of the 35 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: best way I can say it is take off that 36 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: it's kind of a burden to all come together because 37 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: everybody got a life, a job, or something going on 38 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: in their lives. And so what we said when that 39 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: that sign go up, we all come and the sign 40 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: went up, and everybody said, did the Residency make it 41 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: easier for everybody to say, Yo, we can do this 42 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: the residency health But even at the Residency we have 43 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: some absentees, you know what I mean. But it really 44 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: helped because it really helped just that consistency of coming together, 45 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: the consistency of our brotherhood. Our brotherhood really never never 46 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: diminished over the years. And I think for Wu Tang 47 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: we represent community unity. You gotta that's that's you know, 48 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: so many of us was inspired by Ya the Woo. 49 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, your whole neighborhood on stage, you 50 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I think that we could 51 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: use that right now. I think you know what I mean, 52 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: like even autistically for the for the culture, you could 53 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: come in and look at the example of the wool. Yeah, 54 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: so the time is now, you know what I mean. 55 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: Does it financially makes sense? And the reason I asked 56 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: said all eight members, you got DJs, you got everybody 57 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: comes to at least one person security or whatever that means. 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: So that's a lot of money to put out. But 59 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: you know, Wu Tang is always, you know, for the hood. 60 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: So I'm sure you guys are not charging astronomical prices. 61 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: So financially, was it a financial thing? Is one of 62 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: those things? Was like, we just need to do this 63 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: regardless of finance. 64 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: Oh, the finances. The finance is so beautiful because if 65 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: you take a moment right just be and think about 66 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: the Wu Tang legacy and think about how many families 67 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: it's eating off of that legacy, you know what I mean. 68 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about thousands, right. That legacy has went on 69 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: from the music to sparking other em c's to figure 70 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: out their careers, to inspire other producers and mcs to 71 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: and DJs to get up and say, Yo, I'm a DJ. 72 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: Now gonna so. And then when you go on a tour, 73 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, I mean our tour. You know, I just 74 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: saw the tour bus count got about eight buses. That's 75 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: crazy to tell you, and then all the trucks. You know, 76 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: the production for this tour is crazy. We took time 77 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: to really produce something. You know, since the New York 78 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: state of mind, we've only kept elevating the level of production. 79 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: So it's going to be it's so many families, you know, 80 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: union workers, truck drivers, caterers, I mean, the security, it's 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: a it's a it's a it's a it's a village 82 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: that's going to eat off of this. And that's that's 83 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: the beauty of it in all reality. What's the differ 84 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: between torring has grown men versus when you're always younger. Yeah, 85 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I think, like as many you 86 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: men right before you trying to get shortage of line 87 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: outside your door. You're kind of touring for the experience 88 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: of of you know, sex, drugs and rock and roll. Right, 89 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: But now you know, you're you're, you're, you're moving with maturity, 90 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: and I think you really I can speak for myself 91 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: to some of the one talking. I think I really 92 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: can understand the impact of what the music do and 93 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: what it means. Right when somebody hears I grew up 94 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: on the crime side of the New York Times, and 95 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: and they they relate that back to their life having 96 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: secondhand you know what I mean. Even though a lot 97 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: of us is doing better, a lot of us is 98 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: doing worse, you know what I mean. So I think 99 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: that as a man touring around the world and showing 100 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: our culture, it's more meaning meaningful than ever. Now. 101 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: I've seen in an interview that you said you went 102 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: to each member and said, what do you want to 103 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 2: be on this tour? What do you need? And you 104 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: was able to give everybody that. How difficult was that? 105 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: And was there anybody that you couldn't give what they wanted? 106 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: Now, at the end of the day, you know, you gotta, 107 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, be satisfied, right, So we know we do 108 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: with mathematics, right, and we know that that when there's dissatisfaction, 109 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: it breathes confusion, right. They say, you know, even with 110 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: seventy percent of the people were satisfied, the other thirty 111 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: percent was dissatisfied, and that other thirty percent winning started 112 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: their own shit and now you got competition. So you 113 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: got to strive to resatisfaction. And satisfaction is when someone 114 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: can say yoh for me. You know, I don't care 115 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: if it's just like yo, I just want Banana's every 116 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: night and my dressing what he wants. You know what 117 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: I mean. It's accommodate that it's accommodate the comfortability because 118 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: I think I know I see it different. My brother 119 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: de Vne see it different. Our whole management team. We 120 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: know that when you are going out on the road, 121 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: you leave in your family, you know what I mean, 122 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: You're leaving with you your routine of life. And so 123 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: we want to make you as comfortable as possible. So 124 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: this becomes a moment of joy versus a moment of work. 125 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: Are you confident that every single member is going to 126 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: show up for the show. I mean I'm confident for 127 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: confidence sake, and I mean of course I'm confident, you 128 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean. But you know, this is life, 129 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You can make a wrong 130 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: turn on the ninety five, end up in a small 131 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: town for the night, you know what I mean. But nah, 132 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean far as the intention, right, it's all about 133 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: intention and the intention. Everybody is intending to be here. 134 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: So if there's the glitch in the matrix, you know, 135 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: we're deal with it. And then and there's an album 136 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: to come with this too. No no, no, I mean 137 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: a lot of Mathematics has a new album that he 138 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: he's he put together called Black Sansum uh uh. He 139 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: got a new song called Mandingo. He took all like 140 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: the Black Exploitation and Kung Fu movies and did an 141 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: album and got the entire Wu Tang clan MC's on it, 142 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: got Benny the Butcher cool g just just one of 143 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: those a lot of Mathematics albums. It's that's dope, and 144 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: he so that that's just ironically it is coming out 145 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: around the same time. But it wasn't like it wasn't 146 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't like it was a strategy plan. It was 147 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: just like he finished it at the time. When the when, 148 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: the when the tour is about to happen, so that's 149 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: a blessing for him. And then I did hear I 150 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: can say this on the air. I did hear some 151 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: of Ray Kwan's new album too. He's yeah, yeah, one 152 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: of those. Yeah, I'm excited. So hopefully he gets that 153 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: album before the tour drops.

That's 309 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: a portion of it, but it's not the it's not 310 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: all of it. I saw you say something recently where 311 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: you said Hot ninety seven Bannon Wutang's music contributed to 312 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: I guess, not just the decline of the group, but 313 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: just the decline of New York sound and every ante. 314 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we could date that, you know 315 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: what I mean, We could look at it and see 316 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: it happening. Because when you're dealing with business, right, like 317 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: all of us, you know, we we got jobs, right, 318 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: and so we got to come in and do our job. 319 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: If the dude say they paint it blue, and you 320 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: the painter, you got painted blue, right, even though you know, 321 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: like man, this blue was gonna really turn everybody away, 322 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: or its really the paint got let in it or whatever, 323 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: you still got to stick to the job. And I 324 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: think like at that time, you know, and even maybe 325 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: people were scared to fight for each other, you know 326 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: what I mean, And that's been one of our issues 327 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: I think as our culture, right. You know, there was 328 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: a point when the culture started because of money, we 329 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: did started accepting each other. I remember when when like 330 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: Master peeing them will come to New York and we 331 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: accepted that, you know what I mean, when Dre and 332 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: Snoop and Ice Cube, we accepted it. You know, Uh, 333 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: first we accept it from the music, right, and that 334 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: be that's private. But then when the money, when somebody's 335 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: blowing money, then you accept it because of the money. 336 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: And so now you admire them because of his money, 337 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: but not because of his skill, because of the culture, 338 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So when that starts happening, 339 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: it's almost like, uh, now you're you're you're diminished in 340 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: the culture because of the money.

I used it in all my beasts, and 379 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: I think mister Gamble was like, oh that was a mistake. Wow. 380 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: So even from a mistake, right, we've given a chance 381 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: to to to to multiply and to make something great. 382 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: Yeah what was yours? Man? So many? To be quite frank, 383 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: it's just like sometimes you could go to your to 384 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: your to your beat machine and it's just glitches out, 385 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

I was like, okay, 521 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: what the you gonna do? But he had a plan. 522 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: Whatever he was going to do. Boom. And then when 523 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: he when went negative on him, like maybe a few 524 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: months later, I saw it on TV. I saw him 525 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: on the news. I said, I was telling him my wife, Yo, 526 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: that's the guy that'd be selling the album too. I 527 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't sell it to him. I said, oh no, it's 528 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: already like a deal. Even though it wasn't the money 529 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: didn't exchange hands. It was already a deal and was 530 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: in contract for him. So I was say, nah, I 531 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,959 Speaker 1: mean I sat down with him, I told him yes 532 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: and so so now that it's at the day that 533 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: he gets it and know he got a lot of 534 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: security everything, you know, and they kind of he had 535 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: some big dudes with him, and uh, I just said, 536 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: let me talk to him moment by himself committing kid, 537 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: He's still a kid to me, And I'm like, yo, listen, 538 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: if I was you, I was just get us a 539 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: way to the world, like do something good because people 540 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: were saying, like you're bad right now. He was like 541 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: just smiled at me and went worse. Yeah. So but 542 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: I think that that would be a beautiful thing if 543 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: if it was a way to give it or you know, yeah, 544 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: I just think it's it'll be nice to share it. 545 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: You know. If Wu Tang was starting to day, how 546 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: do you think the industry would treat a group like 547 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: Wu Tang. I think we'll still break through one we wasn't, 548 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, remember we came through also like we would 549 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: rush in the building too. Now. So even though actually 550 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: think they built the building security because of Wu tang. 551 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure Remotle, you can walk into a label like 552 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: get in the elevator. 553 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 2: Now before there was no front. 554 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: You can just go right upstairs. 555 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Now boy, you know what security downstairs and man, you. 556 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: Got all types of But it's like, you know what 557 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: I mean, black age, No, but no, no, I think 558 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: beyond all that, right, I think the talent. Man, look 559 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: at the kind of talent you got in the world. 560 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: You can see the talent. The proof of it is 561 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: just like even method Man's going to go ahead and 562 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: be a star. Ghost is going to go ahead and 563 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: be a star, you know what I mean. So it's 564 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: just like you couldn't I couldn't deny it. Expect the Deck, 565 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: who's up who don't get the credit as he should? 566 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: I think far as star level. I mean I won't 567 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: to say as far as star level because the fans 568 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: go crazy when he comes on stage, but I mean 569 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: far as within our industry, separating all those top names 570 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: we mentioned. Expect the Deck got some of the best 571 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: verses in hip hop history. It's not even close, you 572 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: know what I mean.

So I think the talent 580 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: will always break through, just like just like when you 581 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: see other talents, uh in our industry right now that 582 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: just have something that you know, know, you know, you 583 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: know Tyler in the our future, Tyler the creator and 584 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: his whole crew.

I'm sure with your mind there will 589 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: be a studio on the bus. 590 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, actually there's a bush. So John Lennon, right, 591 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: John Lennon, his foundation has a bus called the John 592 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: Lennon Bus, which they use for a lot of education purposes. 593 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: And I had to travel with us on the last tour, 594 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have a travel in this store. So 595 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: it's not only a studio, but it's like when you 596 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: use it. It helps kids in the cities and all that, 597 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: and they take it around the world and teach music 598 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: education and continue John Lennon's legacy. You know, imagine all 599 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: the people living life is one right, Yeah, John Lennon, 600 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: that was that was crazy. I want to ask you 601 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: about the Fourth Chamber versus spit okay, because it's so 602 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: relevant today because you talk about you know, government control, 603 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: economic inequality, medium manipulation, all of that. Where when you 604 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: wrote that, was that prophecy or was that what you 605 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: were seeing at the time? A little bit of both? Right? 606 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: As an artist, like like, it's easy to say, you 607 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: know right now, oh yeah, I have some prophecy, but nah, 608 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: but as an artist you post to tap in right, 609 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: It's like to be quite frank, everybody is an antenna, 610 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. The chemical is a biochemical 611 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: equation of your physical composition is receiving signals. You could 612 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: receive a thought right now from your man in la, 613 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Without this, this is kind 614 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: of a proof of us who grew up without having 615 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: this much power in our hands, Celliah, right, and that 616 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: it still sells all in your body, you know what 617 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: I mean. But as an artist, you get a signal, 618 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: you feel something. Some people say it woke them out 619 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: their sleep and they wrote songs. And yesterday heard Paul 620 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: McCartney say, yesterday he woke up. It was in his 621 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: dream and that song is forever, right. So I think 622 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: that I know that myself as an artist, I would 623 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: always just get hit with a joke of electricity and 624 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: I would just write. And so of course I was 625 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: studying at that time as well. You know, a tune 626 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: with mathematics. Mathematics don't lie, you know what I mean. 627 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: And it's just like some of the words just you know, 628 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: just just come to you and you gotta be grateful 629 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: and you let it out. And sometimes when you hear 630 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: yourself back, it's not even you're You're actually not. It's 631 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: like that recording is sometimes it's not you, you feel me. 632 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: It's almost like third person. That's why experience. That's why 633 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: I was like Dove Risa, like I mean, it's like 634 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: it's like it was it's a title, and even even 635 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: that name it came like that. It was like because 636 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: I was walking around Prince Rakin, Prince Rakin, it was 637 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,239 Speaker 1: like the son was like and I might I might 638 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: have had a good smoke that day. I mean, it 639 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: was like, yo, dove, risa, what is that? Right? But 640 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: if you look at my look at the letters, right, 641 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: the R is why Kim said, it's the eighteenth letter 642 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: and R is for rule or ruler, So it means 643 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: you got to start to rule yourself. But a ruler, right, 644 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: it's not just the action of oh, he's the ruler 645 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: of the country. You know. A ruler is a measurement 646 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: device that you much use to measure everything before you 647 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,959 Speaker 1: get into your square. Right. So now if I measure 648 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: everything first before I zig, when it's time for me 649 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: to zag, which could be going in the wrong direction, 650 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: I know I could always zig back and then that 651 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: as fa a law and that's that arm leg leg 652 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: arm head. And so in my life, I was like, 653 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: it was just time for me to be like I 654 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: asked to be the rissa. And then then my brother's 655 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: just like after we started moving, uh, moving our unit, 656 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: shout out the power, shout out to the vine, shut 657 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: out to Tarif. Before we start moving our unit, it 658 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: was like, yo, you the abbot, you know what I mean? 659 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: All right? That's so that's my title with the who 660 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: and the Abbot. But the universe gave me that title 661 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: the Rissa. So I wonder what you see now, like 662 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: when you see things like like ice raids, and then 663 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: you think about the Fourth Chamber verse and you was 664 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: like a hit was sent from the president to raide 665 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: your residents. You know, when you see stuff like the 666 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: coronavirus and stuff like that, you say, six million that 667 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,479 Speaker 1: was just that from the Buboni flu auto bowla virus. 668 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: You're just speaking about this plague that took over, Like, 669 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: what do you what do you when you see was 670 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: what happened over the years and you think about that verse, 671 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: what do you well, yeah, no, I'd be like yo. 672 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: At one point, it's like, yeah, the reality is the reality, right, 673 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: word time time, words take time to materialize, right m 674 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: so and so we're now we're talking probably listeners talk 675 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: about Noah. He they said he preached for like three 676 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: hundred years. It's telling people, y'all, look, we're gonna have 677 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: to build these arcs and get in the water and go. 678 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: And they're like, man, first of all, keep in mind 679 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: he's in the desert talking him I was gonna rain, 680 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: so nobody they can't believe that. But the time for 681 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: the world to be materialized. Is the process of going 682 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: from a thought to a gas, to a liquid to 683 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: a solid manifestation. Right, So you may say something today 684 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: that won't manifest hill later. And so some of those 685 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: lyrics are that. Right. Even more, I think if you 686 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: go into into this song, impossible, oh my god. So 687 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: even there, it's like, you know, my verse starts off 688 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: with fusion of the five elements, right, which is mental 689 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: and physical. Right, and this is before uh, you know, 690 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: the strong feminist movement. I was saying that, you know, 691 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: women are going to be more celibate. H They're not 692 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: going to be messing with us like that. You know 693 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Ah that something that life will becomes irrelevant. 694 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: But the benelovent king will communicate to you through your dream, right, 695 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: so the most how he'll hit you through your dream 696 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: and give you a mental picture be formed. And then 697 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: a laws heard it scene everywhere and you're around the 698 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: atmosphere thermis vest by the fear trappersphere. Can you imagine 699 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: from one single idea everything appeared here that they're be 700 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 1: like that was a single idea, but it took time 701 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: for all that to grow. Scientists say the Big Bang 702 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: theory they're talking about I took billions of years. You know, 703 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: it's been trillions of years for it to grow, right, 704 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: So a mental picture has been playing a lossow seeing 705 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: everywhere else. You know, let there be light, and the 706 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: light is here. So anyway, sometimes you as an artist, right, 707 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 1: you know, you go back and look at science fiction, 708 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: and we watched Genie Roddenberry who created Star Trek, and 709 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: we're like, yo, wow, he had the flip phone.

I 885 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 1: also have a small prediction for hip hop, Like I 886 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: think that hip hop will get us. We'll get the 887 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 1: we'll get the it's like before we was. There's been 888 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: a lot of dratifying of gangsterism, right, I think hip 889 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 1: hop will now get artists that they don't they was. 890 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 1: They weren't drug dealers, they're not criminals. They've studied this art, 891 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: they've studied they lived hip hop in their form uh, 892 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,760 Speaker 1: and they're going to bring a wave that won't feel 893 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 1: so threatening. And we had that And I'm not saying 894 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 1: that they wasn't from the streets, right, but think of 895 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 1: Dayla and Trip right, think of Black Sheep and km 896 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,759 Speaker 1: D most think of most Death and Tyler, right. But 897 00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,879 Speaker 1: I was even going earlier than them because they come after. 898 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: It goes like that that they kind of most Definitely, Yeah, 899 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I feel like we just 900 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 1: had that though the last fifteen years. Really if you 901 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 1: think about it, because you think about the Kendricks, the Drakes, 902 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 1: the j Coles, the Willets, the Big Sean, the Chance, 903 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 1: the Rappers, the Raps, these like they not on that 904 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 1: they've been the top guys. And yeah, I guess you're right, 905 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,839 Speaker 1: but but I'm still I think it's something else different though, 906 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: because they they they I still think it's more like, 907 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 1: how can I put it that it ain't just that 908 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 1: not from the streets, it's it's it's still another spoonful 909 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: of that's missing, like another spoonful of like the multi 910 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: layer Okay, the fashion of it.
