Future music is 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.400 still is on the way. Definitely music on the way. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.000 Some toxic music is on the way.

How at your girl? Okay, 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:07.440 we can move on. Let's get oh speaking up. Mary 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.680 J Blige. Did you'll ever realized that Mary J. Blige 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.920 has no kids? I've never I've never noticed that. I 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.639 thought of it. I think I know that because she's 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:19.200 never been bregnant. You know, they was documented that if 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.040 Mary J. Blige got pregnant, that would have been documented, 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.440 like she could have got bregned before she was famous. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.480 Though she was always famous, she wasn't born famous. I 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.000 wasn't born by the time she wasn't she about had 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.080 kids before you knew about her. It's the point that 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:35.800 we would have knew, we would have known them kids. 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.800 I'm just saying I never thought about it, but O 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.680 c t you actually consciously, it's like it's stuck out 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.680 like she never had children. It's kind of like Vivica Fox, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.520 like their careers came first, and I never noticed that 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.240 I knew Vivica didn't have kids, but Mary, I just 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.320 I don't know. I mean, I'm into like documentary, so 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.240 when I watched, you know, she didn't have about toils 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.440 by now, you know, throughout her career and she's never 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.640 brought up kids, and she's always struggled with herself and 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.320 she's been so focused on that. It kind of let 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.280 me know why she didn't want kids. You know, it's 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.320 a lot of pressure listening. I got a lot of 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.480 nieces and nephews to have a lot of friends with kids, 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.840 and sometimes y'all stress carries on to me and I 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.560 just be feeling, like, why would I want children? Right now. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.520 I mean, but she's had a hard life because you know, 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.880 you've been in the documentary she's always saying how much 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.800 she doesn't like herself, she has low self esteem or 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.120 you know. So my thing is very honest. Yeah, my 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.440 thing is she would want to focus on herself. You know. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.200 I think also too, it's hard like when you are 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.240 someone who has certain traumas, childhood traumas, you are concerned 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.080 about whether you can keep your children safe from experiencing 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.839 those traumas too. So it's a lot. But nonetheless, y'all 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.280 decide pressure on women have babies. Some women don't want 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.440 babies at all, let alone at a certain age. So 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.400 just relax. But we're don't let Mary tell So I'm good. Listen, 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:56.280 I have nieces and nephews forever, and I'm always watching 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.920 how people or scramp, you know, scrambling around for babies. Said, 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.160 I don't want to go. I don't want to go 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.880 through that. I like my freedom. I like being able 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.520 to get up and go and move and do what 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.880 I want to do. I don't want to attend to 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.479 someone all the time, you know, right now, you know, 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.240 but I don't think it's gonna happen. You ain't wrong 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.320 with being a rich auntie. Ain't nothing wrong nieces and nephews. 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.359 It ain't nothing wrong with being around. I wish I 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.520 had one. What time for d He's my rich uncle 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.320 to my kids whatever they want. So I get it. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.280 She said what she said, but it's what she said 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.600 right now. So if Mary ever changes her mind, she 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.039 just she just needs to adopt kids. At this point. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.640 I mean, I think, and I'm one of those people 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.440 who probably like to have the kids and then get 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:50.159 them back. And that's that's good, Auntie, that's so great, 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.919 So it is time to go. I definitely understand that 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.520 I enjoyed my freedom. People definitely to stop pressuring women 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.480 about having babies, but that's for all. How do you 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.159 feel about motherhood? I don't have any children, and it's 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.200 not the fact that I don't want them. It's just 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.280 the fact that I feel like they don't want me. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.479 And I'm fine with that. But I hate how other 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.000 people always want to place their views on you, like 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.839 you gotta be broken just because you don't have kids. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.880 Just like I agree with that, nobody's running behind me 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.720 like I have. I'm thirty, I haven't had kids. Yet 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.120 and now I've gotten so effect where I don't care 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.440 for the damn kids. Some kids. Hey, that's friend. Do 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.520 you feel any pressure to have kids? Okay, yes, I'm 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.880 gonna rire I skid have a family like I have 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.000 pressure where I get my family and my friends and 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.320 everybody to come ask me like, where are you gonna 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.880 have kids? Like I want of those people, I don't 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.680 have kids, but I have t you're not ready and 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.920 that's okay. When I talked to I'd be a little selfish. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.400 I'd be like, damn, so I'm gonna be an old 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.160 ass uncle. I don't want to be the old ass 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.400 with Sue such a really good aunt towards my kids. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.760 I'm over here, like, man, you would be a great mom. Okay, 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.039 one day I will be. So is it be something fun? 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.799 Speaking of children, Kiki Whytt just said as she was singing, 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:04.040 that her unborn out has leukemia, her unborn eleventh child. 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.080 So a lot of people feel like, you know, damn, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.479 she doesn't have kids. Ten times before this, it should 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.120 be easy, smooth selling. She knows what to do. It's 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.320 not true. Every pregnancy is different, but she said that 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.520 all she could say was hallelujah. She is putting her 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.160 faith in the Lord, and that's the type of strength 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.160 that I can only admire to have Lord. Yeah, she 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.760 was very strong, and uh, you know sometimes in moments 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.640 like that, you know, we we surprise ourselves with how 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:34.280 we are. Um. You know, humans were very strong individuals 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.200 when put to the test. So um, definitely, prayers and 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:43.200 strength sent her way. That's to sen send her some love. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:48.640 Since we're send in love. Can we talk about Michael Beasley? Yes, definitely. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.200 Did you guys catch some of the pivot? Yeah? That 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.600 was that was a dope interview. Mental health is real. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.400 Mental health is serious, and I think a lot of 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.280 young black men, um, and I think they're starting to 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.160 do it now since two thoy. I believe um, sorry, 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.920 don't quote me on that, but I believe now a 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.240 lot of young African American men before they get drafted, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.840 or actually after they get drafted, they go through this 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.720 mental awareness where, um, you're speaking to professionals to teach 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:20.240 you how to uh deal with family budgeting, because as 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.200 soon as you get that money, when you're in the NBA, 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.040 everybody calls your phone, Hey I need this, mommy, Hey 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.120 I need that Dad. Hey, you got your cousins. Hey, 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.760 I need that. I know you got it, because that's 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.680 a very stressful thing. Like it was in the news 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.840 that the players from the Super Bowl were stressed out 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.120 before the game. Before the Super Bowl game because they 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.200 were trying to, uh make sure that their family was 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.200 taken care of. Everybody was asking sales all that that's 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.800 a big deal and a lot of people don't talk 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.160 about that, and he realized, man, ain't got it like that, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:57.400 Like look at that dance documentary and how it came out. 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.640 Scott Pippens deal was terrible, and my a Jordan had 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.960 an awesome deal. And you know, the crazy thing about 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.920 a lot of people don't understand is, you know, I 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.200 got a lot of NBA friends, and you know, these 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:12.920 guys family members are are very very demanded, and you 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.640 gotta understand. It's like when you're growing up with somebody 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.800 and then you ended up becoming you know, the the 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.160 you know, the Golden Google or whatever per se. You know, 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.679 a lot of people expect like you know, and these 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.680 players they feel bad too, because they're like, man, this 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.280 is my family, Like I should be taking care of 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.360 them and I should be helping them. But you gotta 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.000 draw that line in the center. You know, still have 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.600 your own life, and you gotta prepare for after you're 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.720 not basketball. Yes, and I think a lot of athletes, 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:44.080 especially young black African American athletes, do not prepare And 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:48.079 I don't think we're taught that either. Hell no, it's 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.719 difficult and mental and it will affect your play or 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.520 faking mental health. And easily spoke on that and it 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.560 was deep. It was a wealth thought interview. No secret 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:01.000 that he is a really good athlete, like everyone knows, 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.800 he was amazing in his NBA career, but he did 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:08.719 suffer from several substance related to incidents, substance abuse, and 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.120 he just feels like he was asking for help and 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.680 nobody was giving him the help that he needed. You know. 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.960 He just felt like he made a really good point. 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.280 He said that when black men cry out, people laugh, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.560 you know, like literally a black man could cry and 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.040 people will literally laugh at him, but you're not asking 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.240 why is he crying? Like what's wrong? Like can we 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.439 give him any more support? And Michael did a really 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:35.960 good job communicating that on this podcast. Sake right now, 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.560 it's like mother's only kid. When you when when it's 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.720 time for somebody to die, and the cameras to show 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:47.200 it is like, bro, mother is out here showing every 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.720 day that they need help. It's in the music and 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.840 we only listen to it. To this it's like, bro, 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.319 everybody out here need in help, and everybody will walking 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:05.679 around his mother like they got it all together. Everybody 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.800 everybody walking. And then the second time, like like like bro, 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.640 the white Howard cried on TV right, they called them 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.240 saw what he was going through on the side he 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.960 had to hold on to where he cried in front 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.120 of twenty million people. How about somebody asked that questions, 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.520 this is really sad. Honestly, I think we need to 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.320 do a better job at creating a safe community for 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:32.040 our talented black people to come invent. Like you, It's 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.760 okay for you to say you need help, and you 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.720 should get the help that you need. One time for 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.600 Ryan Clark too, I watched him on ESPN first Take 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.880 a Lot, and he's on ESPN as well. He's a 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.520 great announcer on television and he said a lot of 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.200 great points, especially when he was talking about African American 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.600 man having to deal with the burdens and the stresses 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.200 of coming into money very fast and things move so fast, 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.360 and then how it affects your your African American queen. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.160 As black men, we are asked because of talent to 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.839 carry everybody. We are not made to carry everybody. Black 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.720 women are asked to carry everybody. They are not made 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.959 to carry everybody. So it takes a village. And at 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.079 some point you gotta have somebody who don't need from you, 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.200 who don't want from you, who want to see you win. Man, 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:21.240 like we don't. We don't do this for us. Yeah, 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.160 like like if you want to build these things, But 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.760 it's about these conversations, it's about bringing people on here 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.559 and letting them tell their story. When Freddie said, man, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.320 you could tell your narrative. Tell that and I'll preach 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.679 it too. What we're saying is, man, don't give up, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.560 and we won't give up. Kudos to these guys. And 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.840 it was a well thought out, um and in depth interview. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:43.920 But I do want to get a little hood though. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:49.959 Murder Mace is back er, so just for my for 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.600 my nineties and two thousands babies. He started off as 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.719 Murder Mace, then he went to Mace, then he went 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.679 to Pastor Mace right then he went back to murder Mas. 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.920 Then he just stopped doing music completely. That he's back 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.880 is murder Mas. And he going that did he loaded 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:20.800 another another option? You really worked? Yeah, like that, that's 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:27.080 a tune that's new. He don't need he don't need 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.199 to use that normal guys. Maybe it's just not master. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:40.160 I think he said, did he glorifies celebrating artists after 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.600 they die. And then he said, you ain't. You ain't 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.640 give his mama what your man's work. She said, you 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.680 from Mount Vernon, nigga, go and wrap your own hood. 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.200 You not know architect. You just the nigga that know 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.000 how to market death. Go pay his mother what he 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.640 really works. Nigga. That's what he said. Damn, that's what 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.000 along the way, But that would have been harder on 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:14.400 a better beat though, the beat and the yeah, it's 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:19.040 very distracting, not the lyrics, but but yeah, yeah, I 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.200 don't think I've never heard unless Diddy was involved, I've 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.640 never heard Mace or did he because I meant this 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.040 song was crazy. I never heard really makes really have 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.240 a good beat selection. Some already suck at that. You 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.680 gotta stop stop. We're victims shaming now allegedly. Okay, Mace, 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:39.200 it feels like Mae is trying to tell us that 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.560 he is a victim. You guys, we're gonna pray for you, Mace, 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:48.440 or can you pray for yourself? Okay now? And people 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.600 have been talking about Diddy had been a little shady 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.400 for a long time. I don't know. I've never met him. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.040 I'd never work with him. But some people feel like 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.240 makes need to just let it go. They feel like 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.760 he's been coming at Diddy for a long time. Hey, hey, hey, 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.760 you keep the same age you said the songs whack. 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.800 I mean, I'm not you got to get better songs. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.720 But keep you get what you negotiate. Thank you, you 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.440 signed the contract. Let's move on to the next topic. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:17.280 Keep signed the paperwords. There are other conversations and promises 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.640 made that we don't know the promises contract. It's another 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.840 example of there's another example of you coming from the 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.200 bottom and you broke and here comes a situation you 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.240 can start making immediate money. Read it all the way through. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.040 It's crazy how he's coming with this. And then you 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.320 know Freddy from the band he had something to say 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.720 about Diddy too. You ain't never had a talent in 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.160 your life. Man, somebody gave you an opportunity to open 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.720 and doing fine talent, fine talent.

So when I see your son 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.400 buying cards and all this ship and all this laughing 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.240 boofy ship, I'm offended.

I don't play 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.120 like that. We went through more hazing than anybody. We've 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.200 done everything we're supposed to do, and we did it 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.920 the right way. My whole group mouth quiet.

He got all the publishing solves. Yes. 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.080 When he was on TV on making the band, nobody 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.800 was complaining then because they thought that they had a 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.720 solid thing. They thought they were that brother, Love Love 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.000 You noticed this is becoming a cycle artist. Get on. 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.359 They started making a lot of money. They all on TV. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:25.480 It's smart, they learned, They educate themselves, and then they say, damn, 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.960 I was fucked. At the end of the day, man, 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.040 y'all read you actually trying because a lot of them 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:36.840 don't know. They learned and then they say, oh, I 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.679 was supposed to get away, but that's what got it, 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:43.800 did you. A lot of these artists say they don't 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.600 even read the contract. You see a lot of artists 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:54.400 that they educate themselves after the facts. Education. Read that contract, 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.600 get a lawyer, read that contract before you sign it, 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.800 Like you gotta understand that people do shady business or 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:02.520 they do what they can get away with. And if 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.720 you sign without reading ship Speaking of that, everybody, I 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.040 encouraged to go watch the Steve Harvey interview with Earn 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.760 your Legions to watch. He talks about, you know, his 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.000 trials and errors to become who he is right now, 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.360 and he's not who he wants to be, but he's 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.399 on his way there. And he talks about him not 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.400 um owning his ip early on. Hollywood is the land 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:30.639 of illusion. Most of us man are not making what 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.960 y'all think we're making. We're just not man because we're 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.879 in that system. See I didn't get I wasn't a 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.400 business man when Steve Harvey show was ot just happy 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.480 to be on TV. You know, I just took my 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.560 check and went out and said I on twelve percent 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.200 of the show back in but I learned real quick. 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.000 In Hollywood, you never see back in. They got a 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.040 different type of rhythmetic. It's like the music industry. The 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.240 only people that you make true back in with his 0:18:56.320 --> 0:19:00.119 book people. Book people are the most honest people I've 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:05.439 ever done business with. Books. They're honest. Music and TV. 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.120 You're not gonna get no back in partner, how man, 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.520 by the time they get through doing their arithmetic. I 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.800 ain't made back in on none of my shows ever. 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.520 I just it's just crazy, man. So I started figuring 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.000 that out. I went, Okay, you know, my business with 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.200 freemant On, which is one of the best companies I've 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.679 ever dealt with. They're very honest and forth right. But 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.240 when I signed a deal to do Family Feud, you know, look, man, 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.760 Family Feud was a twenty year franchise and they had 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.800 ownership and they couldn't get you know, I was going 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.520 through tax problems back there. I just wanted to check, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.760 so I took the check. Over the years, I still 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.440 couldn't get ownership. But since I can't get ownership, I'll 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.000 tell you what, though, I'll tell you what. I might 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.320 not have ownership, but you're gonna feel like I'm born 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.480 and so we've we've negotiated really nicely with them, I mean, 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.720 the longest running hosts and he's real the show and 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:04.080 it's the number one syndicated show on Earth. So like that, 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.040 I think, you know, just to Art's point, it's kind 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.480 of like, you know, learn, but then go harder to 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:14.439 make it better. Yeah, it's a very bad, uh space 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.439 to be in when you realize you was funed. But 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:20.880 is it an unfair expectation that somebody would do good 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.080 business with you? Like? Is that unfair? There's no such 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.840 thing as good business when you entertainment business. I believe 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.600 you get what you negotiate. I believe that, But I 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.479 also understand. I understand how it's easy to get a 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:38.160 young artist into signing anything because they're impressionable, they're young. 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.880 What you noticed, artists only complain when they're not hot, 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.520 No more, that's not all the way true. I think 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.320 artists complain when the money slows down. That's when they 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.879 ain't hot. And then they start saying that's when they 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:53.080 ain't They're like, okay, that's where they go. Look at 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:57.680 the contract too. They also say there we go. They 0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.760 started saying, wait a minute, and then guess what they 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:01.399 do what they should have did in the first place. 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:07.200 They read the country. You are in position to sign people, right. 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:09.639 Are you one of those people who's like, you know what, 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.840 I'm gonna do shady business just because I can't, just 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.080 because I know these niggas not gonna real nothing. I'm 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.359 just asking you and sometimes not even shady. It's just 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.000 business in your best interest. No, I'm not. I don't 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.440 do that. I don't and I actually I managed six 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.760 producers and I have open contracts. If I don't deliver 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.320 and you want to leave, I don't want nothing from me. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.560
