You guys all 191 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 5: know that, right, But when he started, they wasn't publicly traded, 192 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 5: So I would like to say that he helped boost 193 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 5: the evaluation. Obviously we're gonna say that that's a biggil, 194 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 5: that's a fact. But when you started Snapchat, it was 195 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 5: actually from a dark place, right. 196 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was. I was fully independent. You know. 197 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 7: I felt like at one time I felt like the 198 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 7: music I was putting out number one hits, but I 199 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 7: felt like the industry was trying to block me out. 200 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 4: Maybe that was just the way I felt. 201 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 7: I don't know, So you know, I went truly independent, 202 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 7: and I always put my money in everything I do, 203 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, But at that time, I raally, 204 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 7: you know, put it all on the lines. So like 205 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 7: I put everything on this album called I Changed a Lot, 206 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 7: And all my albums, the titles represent what I'm going 207 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 7: through at that time when I'm making it and just 208 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 7: the energy. So all my titles is that vibe, you 209 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. So that album was called I Changed 210 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 7: a Lot because like asking me a question, say, cal 211 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 7: you changed changed man a lot? You know what I'm saying, 212 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 7: and the reason why I changed a lot. And change 213 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 7: is good as long as you do it for the better, 214 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 7: to be greater. You know how some people like, Okay, 215 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 7: you know you're friend, are you change? You ain't the same? 216 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 7: I tell them, I'm definitely not the same.

So at that time, 222 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 7: I put this album out and it was probably my 223 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 7: worst sales. And that's that's right when the streaming was 224 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 7: about to kick in. And even when the streaming kicked in, 225 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 7: it still was new, you know what I'm saying.

It's okay to have a good partner. 1166 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:46,839 Speaker 7: And then also protect yourself where if you're giving your greatness, 1167 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,879 Speaker 7: make sure you be able to buy it back, but 1168 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 7: the other half might help you become next level. 1169 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,399 Speaker 4: Then you buy it back, and then you. 1170 00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 7: Should say thank you what I'm saying, because right you 1171 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,359 Speaker 7: made money together, make money or all should buy your 1172 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 7: own halfback, but you have to make sure you have 1173 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 7: it in paperwork, so you can buy a back. 1174 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was what I'm saying. 1175 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 7: But if you can own one hundred percent of your masters, 1176 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 7: of course, But some people can own one hundred percent 1177 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 7: of the masters and they don't do no work. Remember 1178 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 7: it take teamwork to make a dream work. You know 1179 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 7: what I'm saying. Like with me when I put out music, Yeah, 1180 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 7: I'm gonna do my thing. Yeah yeah, but I need 1181 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,320 Speaker 7: my team around me to be doing they thing too, 1182 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,920 Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. But yes, own your masters 1183 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 7: and for some reason if you have to partner up 1184 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 7: was to you know, with your masters, just make sure 1185 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 7: you have that buy back opportunity. 1186 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 5: What you're speaking about we introdew Jason Jeter, and he 1187 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 5: was talking about Jason Jeeter is a TI's business partner 1188 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 5: for Grand Hustle. Anybody doesn't know who is. So he 1189 00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 5: was saying, with tips early deals, they didn't own it masters, 1190 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 5: but they had the option where it reverted back to 1191 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 5: them after ten years. And he was saying that that 1192 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 5: was extremely important because at that time they didn't have 1193 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 5: the leverage to go into the label and demand their masters, 1194 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 5: but they had the opportunity to not have their masters. 1195 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,080 Speaker 5: But it reverts back to them over the course of time, 1196 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 5: and they knew that it's going to be something that's 1197 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,720 Speaker 5: going to be valuable for a long period of time. 1198 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 5: So it's like residual income. So even if you don't 1199 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 5: have your masters right away, like you said, you can 1200 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 5: still actually structure it in a deal where it reverts 1201 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 5: back to you. But it's important to put that in 1202 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 5: your deal. 1203 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, you got to put that in your deal. And 1204 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:33,880 Speaker 7: then it's a new world. Goes back to this the 1205 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 7: new world talk. It's a new world. 1206 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 4: You can't walk in there like doing fifty year old business. 1207 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 7: It's a new world. Do new business, new deal points, 1208 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 7: do it your way. It's what you negotiate, and. 1209 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 4: If they don't want to do it with you, then 1210 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,040 Speaker 4: you didn't find somebody else. 1211 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,440 Speaker 7: If they don't want to do what, you do it yourself. 1212 00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 7: That's the way I always did it, you know what 1213 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 7: I'm saying. If I couldn't, they didn't see the vision 1214 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,920 Speaker 7: of the business cool, it might make my little my 1215 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,439 Speaker 7: job harder, but it got me where I'm at. 1216 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 2: So I wanted this is again clap it up for that. Yeah. 1217 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 3: So one of the things that and me and Shotty 1218 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 3: had this talk all the time. We're like, Yo, Calla 1219 00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 3: is one of those guys. If he went on a 1220 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 3: world tour, he can literally pick somebody from each city 1221 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,320 Speaker 3: because he's done as long, but probably everybody from every 1222 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 3: major city. So is that something that we're looking forward 1223 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 3: to in the future. We're going to see like a 1224 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 3: DJ Calendar Friends tour.
