You know, Um, the only 49 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: thing that was similar to it was that the one 50 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: he did, the mad Villain, you know, because I didn't 51 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: even know what Madly it was man before I did that. 52 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: You know, I was raised on you know, you g 53 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: K and stuff like that. So when I, um, you know, 54 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: when I got into that, I was just like, all 55 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: right this, you know, it's kind of like trying to 56 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: figure out a puzzle. So I figured the puzzle and 57 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: I feel like I cracked the code, you know what 58 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: I mean. You know, he just you know madly really 59 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: with with those tracks and the production and stuff we did, 60 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: it really made me a way better rapper. Definitely sharpen 61 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: my sword, but a whole lot. So you know, it 62 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: made me open to try and you know, even newer 63 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: things musically. So because shout over doubt it seems as 64 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: opposed to Pinionta seems more so like you harmonizing, right right, 65 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: It's it's left field from Pinyadis. I didn't want to 66 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: drop nothing similar to that, you know what I mean 67 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: without you know, madly, I didn't even want to go 68 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: in that direction, you know. I mean. The only song 69 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: on Shadow of a Doubt that might be kind of 70 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: similar to that is the one with Black Thought. That's 71 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: that's just because he picked that beat. You know. Yeah, 72 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: you guys tell that that was a Bob James joint. 73 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: And then yep, yep, yep when we use that saying 74 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: not of the sample.
