00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: that kept me from getting canceled, you know, even though

39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,959

00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,520

90
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,440

Speaker 1: want on to do this with what I learned from him.

93
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: So it's just like if you come from while I'm from,

94
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: it's like having the whole damn Lioker Stoke, you know

95
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know what I mean? Like you

100
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: old Nory went drange. Yeah, yeah, I said. So I'm

101
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: listening to the Preface Club, I believe yesterday and it

102
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: wasn't today, yesterday, I think it was yesterday and Freddy

103
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Gibbs come on and then they say something, they say, uh,

104
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, uh, this is the first time you'll see

105
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: each other. I think you've seed each other in the

106
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: airport and you got to speak. So how was that was?

107
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: Was was that something that you wanted to do? I mean, this,

108
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: this is the thing, bro, I ain't never had no

109
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: issue with gids Man, you know what I'm saying. Always

110
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: knew he was gonna pop, He's gonna be on and

111
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: what I think about all this in music, we're really

112
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: ended this ship streating anything and just be a lack

113
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: of communication. And he was wrong, I think, you know,

114
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: and I respect that, you know what I'm saying, because

115
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: I just I didn't understand it. But from where he

116
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: was coming from, that's how he saw it. But if

117
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: we communicated, I could have been like, no, Bro, that

118
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: ain't that. Ain't that you know what I thought? This

119
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: is me looking from the outside and that's an inside

120
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking out right. I always thought that. I think

121
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: that how Ross was at the time. It was like

122
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: you and Ross was taking shots at each other, right,

123
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and it felt like Ross. I felt like me kind

124
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: of had Ross back, and it felt like maybe Gibbs

125
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: one of that same thing for you, or you wanted

126
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: that same thing from games. I think that's where the

127
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: communication kind of you know what I mean. I think

128
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: I think what happened on my end is that you know,

129
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: I was trying to get him a deal, which I

130
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: wanted him to have, but I couldn't. So it was

131
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: a lot of frustration there, you know, right right there,

132
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: and it's just like I didn't want to hold him up,

133
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: and I'm like, bro, I don't trying this every weight.

134
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: And it ain't that you're not gonna get a deal.

135
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: It just I can't get it. But you've been young,

136
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: and that it says, you know what I'm saying, like,

137
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: because you know what it is. It was really like

138
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: the hottest thing and I'm gonna be I learned a

139
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: lot about that too, because I was I was in

140
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: my own bag, you know what I'm saying. So I

141
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: was doing things, but I was still trying to keep

142
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: my career with that too, So I learned a lot

143
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: from that experience. But I do feel like, you know,

144
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: if you really got an issue with another grown man,

145
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: when you see him, you're gonna feel like that. I

146
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: didn't feel like that, you know what I'm saying. I'm

147
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: just like, what up? You know? We it's like, yeah,

148
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: because we had some good times. It was the miscommunication.

149
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: By the way, every situation I've ever been in in

150
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: the streets or music has been a miscommunication or either

151
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: somebody talking in between people. You know, like if I

152
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: tell you something, you tell him. By the time they

00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: to get it next thing? You know? So you know, man,

169
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,000

172
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie a little bit, but me just

173
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: hearing y'all together, like listening to y'alls like, damn, I'm

174
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: so glad they squashed their beef. That's the thing, like

175
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: it ain't you know, unless his family or money, ain't

176
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: no beef. It's just misscommunications. But that's the problem with

177
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: the coach of the way it is now, like you know,

178
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: they ready to kill something about nothing. What I'm saying,

179
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: like ain't no integrity and that you know what I'm

180
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: saying that we don't win the war as a country

181
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: several times and and once you've done doing what you

182
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: gotta do, you still gotta figured out, but you gotta

183
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: co exist what I'm saying. So even with the ross thing,

184
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: I would say like it just took hip hop. You

185
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: know hip hop because I knew hip hop because he

186
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: was I was working at his studio and an actually

187
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: hipop the person in Calip because I trusted Calip. And

188
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: he was like, y'all just want to get y'all to

189
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: sit down. But it's just like, you know, it's just

190
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: like I'm thinking to sit down. It's like me and

00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: was wanting to do the world Ready record, and um,

194
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: you'll tell you the irony of that. So CALLI sat

195
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: us down immediately. You know, you know, if you feel something,

196
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: if it's an issue, it was like, oh you don't

00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: You know, I went Turkey ham on that. But um,

210
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,720

211
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: you had the video see all the years, but it's

212
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: a already. So two people who just sat down, like

213
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: you know what it mean, it was like it was

214
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,680

Speaker 1: out to Rolls though. Man like even we went on

216
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: tour and you know, got money together and we and

217
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,000

00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: are not the same, you know what I'm saying. And

219
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: everybody got different skills set. You know what I'm saying.

220
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,360

221
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: You have other people that are good in this and

222
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: when you able to sit down, chop it up and

223
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: talk about business and future ship. It's bigger than just music.

224
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: That's maturity to right, It's bigger than music. It's it's like, yo,

231
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,120

00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: seen you, we was in l A. You were literally

233
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: by yourself and it was like it was the most

234
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: peaceful I've ever seen you in life, Like you were

235
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: literally comfortable dolo like you was. You walked in, you

236
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: had a little bit of uh tequilla, you were chilling.

237
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: We we had to you shoot the side, we had

238
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,640

239
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: was just you just stayed the whole time just by yourself.

240
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: Like I want to say, what is it? No, what's

241
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,400

243
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: into this party like where's this new jeezy energy? Like

244
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: like I can feel peace. I don't need to get

245
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: like I never need a validation. But I think when

246
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: you stripped the stereo type down and go with what

247
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: it is being a man first, and I've been on

248
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: the front line with you know anything I've ever been

249
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: involved with. Some people were like Pablo esketball. I was like, yo,

Speaker 1: chopo on the front line, you know what I'm saying.

251
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: And once I realized that, you know, when you get

252
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: them paying for enough lawyers, you know what I'm saying,

253
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: paying you know, lawsuits and all these different things because

254
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: somebody around you reacted to done something. You know, these

255
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: civil suits. You know you you know you're back against

00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: the wall, people saying you know soon you're fifty sixty

257
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: million dollars. And it just dawned on me, like you

258
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: don't want to gonna make sure you straight, you know

259

00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't need to. I don't need to get on

261
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: the front line for you. That's that's on you now,

262
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So for me, I just

263
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: really roll because I know I know I got there's

264
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: so much as mean, like I ain't took nothing from nobody,

Speaker 1: being who I said I was, so they have respect

269
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: for me. So even if I'm in somebody's city, I'm

270
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: still good because it ain't no bad energy. Like I'm

Speaker 1: And we went back and forth for months and months,

480
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: and then he just finally decided to do it, and

481
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: I took him a bunch of songs over there and

482
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,240

485
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,760

509
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: the manager. You spent two hundred dollars a piece. I

510
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: got half a million dollars in the front of the carn.

511
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm confused, you know what I'm saying. I

512
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: was like, you know what I'm saying that I'm being real.

513
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: And it got to the point where I'll just let

514
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: them keep the money, because like it wasn't gonna do

515
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: me any good, you know what I'm saying. But I

516
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: wanted to my My pointing case was I wanted to

517
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: do anything to get myself out of the situation I

518
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: was in. And we gotta take a shot for that man,

519
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: we gotta take a shot. And and and so Drama

520
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: Drama did trapa di And I think trapad made Drama,

521
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: believe it. But it also, you know, saved my life.

522
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: It took me out the whole ship. That's that, that's that,

523
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: that's that watermelon, that my badood with that Solottle solo

524
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: to you. Godamn. But if college and DJ Drama was

525
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: the really battle on versus you're coming out with Drama,

526
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna be a space you have to

527
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: be on both sides. They've got records. But you didn't

528
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: pick drama though, because I picked drama because we got history.

529
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: Not you trying to say Collus the l a d

530
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: J though that's what you said. I look at Callia

531
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: Lord of Artists. Though for me, I'm Drama as an

532
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: artist too. Now I think they they're kind of in

533
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: the same vange. Drama don't like people not calling him

534
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: an artist. That's what this whole thing is about. Both

535
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: put out the album. Um, I rock with both of

536
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: them because Kelli gave a shot too, So I'm gonna

537
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: be clear about that. I don't know. We was all

00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: record at the time, this is the irony of him

541
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: saying amnesia. You're saying, I remember, that's the exact opposite

542
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: of amnesia. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm trying to get

Speaker 1: not gonna be happy with that, you know what I'm saying.

603
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: And for me, that's not my that's not my story

604
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: to tell you what I'm saying. So, I mean, it's

605
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: it's it's affiliated. Like whenever people here BMTH, they always

606
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: say the first artists of being math was Jez. What

607
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying is not true, but it's not true, but

608
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean the national level, he was the first artist. Yeah,

609
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: but he didn't break it. Was never a BMTH artist.

610
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: He was directly a Bright but you was affiliated me

611
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: and Meets was like YouTube, you know what I mean,

612
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: which means that I had you know, and I had

613
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: my crew. Um, so they kind of it was like

614
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: if you cool with Nori and all of us cool

615
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: with Nori, then you're cool with them, you know what

616
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying. He got his own cool. Yeah, so it

617
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: was like that. Then we come together like United Nations, right, Yeah,

618
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: we got every gun and it was like we was

619
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: hanging and being in the same spot. But like me

620
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: and meets was really like like that though, meeting j

621
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: BO like them with my you know, my guys. But again,

622
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: like that's not my story, even when it goes back

623
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: to the fifty Boys and all that stuff, Like I

624
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: didn't even know him then, So that's not said Welcome

625
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: home T. That's right, you said Welcome home T. He said,

626
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: but you said some niggas might owe your money, but

627
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: that ain't me. Yeah, So what was what was that

628
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: line about? Because because there was people putting out narratives

629
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: as if I owed them, Oh, I don't owe them anything,

630
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I've never done business, that

631
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: type of business with them to owe him anything. So

632
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: I just think the narrative was starting to be, like,

633
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, if it wasn't for that, it would be

634
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: no meeting, know what I'm saying. And I just didn't

635
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: understand that. And I don't really know Tea. I knew

636
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: of Tea because when I was kicking it with meat

637
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: him and Tea with like beef and beefing. Oh, you know,

638
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, And I'm glad they

639
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: worked it out beautiful. But the two times I met

640
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: T was what the two times talked to T was

641
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: the first time I was at a party with puff

642
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,560

Speaker 1: first song I ever did was them boys by the way,

702
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,719

705
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: I'm not a rapper. So I get in the room

706
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: with these guys and they're doing this song, them boys,

707
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not a rapper, you know what I'm saying.

708
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: So I'm in here with people who like spitting balls,

709
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it took me like

710
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: an hour and a half to just write my verse,

711
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: and it took me like another hour to put it

712
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: down because I'm not so familiar with the studio. So

713
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: by that time, everybody walked down because Trick was there,

714
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: Jazzy Favor was there, and everybody was there, and I

715
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: remember them like, you know, people in the hallway talking

716
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: shit like man, he whack. So I remember I put

717
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: it down and I walked down the hallway and told

718
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: him to play it. And it was like, if it's

719
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: taken too long to lock up. By the time the

720
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: fourth bar, can't everybody that was outside the Talking Ship

721

Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I told y'all you know what

723
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,880

Speaker 1: about my business earlier and I didn't need anything from anyone.

725
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,239

765
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,160

766
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: had already done the Boys in the Hood deal, but

767
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: it was like it was a lot of things that

768
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: happened during the deal that kind of like made me

769
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: feel different, Like meaning like I'm going to Magic City

770
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: and Puff is calling my phone to sign the deal

771
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: for Boys in the Hood, but I'm telling them going

772
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: to Matton City and he's calling my phone back to

773
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: back and he like, go to Kinko's and signed the

774
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 1: contract and send it back like with the Facts machine.

775
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: By the way, kids used to go ship So for

776
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: those of the Xerox, that's how you caught me something, right.

777
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: So so so now I'm like, y'all ain't going to

778
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: key cards. I gave you over there, so you know,

779
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: I just had a tip on my shoulda. And it

780
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: was when Jay was like yo, man, like you know,

781
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: he sat me and Puff down, we just you know talk,

782
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: you know. So I got a chance to really know

783
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: because I didn't really I knew him, but I knew

784
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: him through like meeting up so I only saw him

785
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: in club setting. So I was like, I'm a street guy.

786
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna respect me. That was my whole

787
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: inmo with any rapper or any entertainer because it was

788
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: just like, I'm risking my life out here. Y'all ain't

789
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: going through this ship. So anyway, puff Um and Jay

790
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: sit there and I go, look, man, i want to

791
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: do the Puff deal, but I'm only gonna do one album.

792
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: I gave Puff a number and he was cool that,

793
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And me and Puff been

794
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: cool every since. That's my bro, like we chopped up

795
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: my business, spirituality whatever. But he was like, I ain't cool.

796
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: And now I got puffing Jay in the same room

797
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: and they agreeing to let me do this Boys in

798
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: the Hood album only one album pushed the Motivation back,

799
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: which is highly anticipated for a month your first album,

800
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: my first album, right, the Motivation one on one. So

801
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm coming off a trapper die and

802
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm using them boys is another marketing peace, you know

803
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So now I got two deals and

804
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm building this momentum that that was my mindset

805
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: so right, and with the guys you know, and no

806
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 1: disrespect to them. I just think that was a little

807
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: more season when it came from business because I came

808
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: out of the streets and I was used to dealing

809
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: with said the guys boyhood, so they didn't understand, you

810
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: know what I was doing because I'm thinking business. I mean,

811
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: I get the records, and I also knew that them

812
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: boys was a hit. It's like like you like going

813
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: for the selfish move or like I think that if

814
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm honest, and they probably tasted. I think it's been

815
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: some situations where I kind of tried to put them

816
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: on the game, but they probably looked at me like

817
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: I was separating the group and you really wasn't the

818
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: officially wrapper at that time year. I was the street

819
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: guy who just had one good verse on the whole

820
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: project and on the tour like like I was on

821
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: too with Jody Brees. Jody Breese was the guy like

822
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 1: all the girls left Jody like the bus like damn,

823
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: Like I got on the Town Dollar roll, like you'll

824
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: see this what's going on? But before you continue because

825
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: I also worked the Bad Boy Records and he he

826
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: was on or once a part of the street team too,

827
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: and we ye, they was pushing we was the Miami

828
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: Street Team. I was running down here and they were like, okay,

829
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: there is a South record, y'all gotta push this. But

830
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: there seemed to be some confusion when that record came,

831
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: because if it was like you're on you're in the group,

832
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: you're not in the group, and I don't I don't

833
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: remember clearly how it was the timeline back that the group. Yeah,

834
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean I'm record, yeah, the record? What the thing

835
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: was that? Rightfully? So, I'm my own boss because I'm

836
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: pressing on my own CDs. I'm paying for my own stuff.

837
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm signed to death. Cham Um, I got a public

838
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: in situation. You asked Big John, He'll tell you John

839
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: that money, man, I didn't even cash my def Jam

840
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: and my Publician check. You understand, I'm saying, like I

841
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: just had these checks in my house. What what the

842
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 1: Publicisan check I lost in a pair of jeans, which

843
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: was crazy because I had to figure that out because

844
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know. And then I had, um, you know,

845
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: my def jam check that I didn't even cash because

846
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: I had bread. And I remember Jay called me one day,

847
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: He's like, Yo, what are you doing? Okay, okay, did

848
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 1: you lose the Publicisan checking? You you don't even remember?

849
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: You know? I lost it? And then I called Big

850
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: John shout out the big John he had check. Again,

851
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: he didn't understand what the hill because nobody can't take

852
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: that check in cash. But I'm gonna be honest. You know,

853
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: I'm a street guy. I had my money bags. I

854
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: thought when he gave me the check that it was

855
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: already somewhere. I need to go pick it up. I

856
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: didn't know about Baker and it was a huge check

857
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: check and me and John laugh about that, you know,

858
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: just anyway. But the reality of it is I didn't

859
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: discuss with the guys what I was doing on the

860
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: business side, so they probably felt like that I was

861
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: being selfish. But I had a plan, feeled me, and

862
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: that was my plan because that was never really officially

863
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: a group I had to get. I was. I was

864
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: getting a label deal with Death Jam, which was CT

865
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 1: then shout out to the new deal Corporate Thugs Entertainment.

866
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: But but but I had a plan, and I wasn't

867
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: trying to just be in a group, you said, saying,

868
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: because I wanted to break my own artists and do

869
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: my own things. So again communication, I didn't talk to

870
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: them and say, look, this is what I'm trying to do.

871
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: I was more so like I'm gonna do this, you know,

872
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: y'all gotta figure this out. That's you know, probably why

873
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: you know it kind of went a little left and

874
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: to make it up, Mark, but I was working in

875
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: death jammers, so then we're working Oh my god, he's

876
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: working bad boy and okay, use one of them type

877
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 1: of both sides in the middle. I'm taking a shot.

878
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: It's hard. Don't drink that ship. I'm sorry, keep going,

879
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: I keep going that man, Well, I'm sorry. I just

880
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: this is a great joke, that's all. So I got

881
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: the word that you're doing a new album. I'm saying

882
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: I feel like Jesus got all the accolades, got all

883
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: the success, got all the money, beautiful family, beautiful wife.

884
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: Why even come outside, like why not staying eat peaches

885
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: all day? Watermelon? You love it that I did that, though, Man,

886
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm not for feeling like that. Bro, I

887
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: don't like. I gotta be happy. This is my this

888
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: is my purpose. It ain't even about the money no more.

889
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: It's about like I know what any about the money.

890
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: It's it's it's about like, you know, even for the

891
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: younger generation coming up, it's like, this is what you

892
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: do when you're fifteen twenty years in you still you know,

893
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: you're still who you are, but you've got a bigger

894
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: mindset as you lead by example. And one thing about it,

895
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: I lived enough in the streets to talk about it

896
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: forever because because the game don't change, it's just only

897
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: the players and the same thing. And I just feel

898
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: like for me, you know, I ain't trying to preach

899
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: and nothing, but I'm like, I got a few people

900
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: that I respect, and I could sit the mentors and

901
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: we don't even communicate on the mental levels, just like

902
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: I just talked to him about things, but I love

903
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: the way they moved. So for me, it's just like

904
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: I want to show these cats, even fifteen twenty years

905
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 1: in the game, you still get moved. Like I'm well

906
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: aware of my surrounds. I can tell you right now

907
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: how many black T shirts over there who got white

908
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: with you know what I'm saying. I know you know

909
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's who I am. But at the

910
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: same time, with what what keeps me ful Field is

911
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: to be able to connect with people from a personal level.

912
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: Like on the way over here, I had used the bathroom,

913
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: I opt out of the Walgreens on where that was that.

914
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, right in the middle of

915
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: the hood before I could even get to the door. Everybody, jeezus,

916
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: that's what I do it for because they love me,

917
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: because I have values, I have integrity, and I have

918
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: and I'm a visionary, Like I have a vision that

919
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: street people want to have me. They want to come

920
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: from somewhere, accomplish something and then take that in the

921
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: compass something else. So even when I came in the game,

922
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, I only started rapping because I already knew

923
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: what the streets was gonna do. But I'm not the

924
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: best rapper nor ever I ever claimed to be, because

925
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: if you really know about it, like music is my

926
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 1: talent because I you know, jumped in the head first

927
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: and figured it out. But business is my passion. I

928
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: always wanted to do this and this and real estate

929
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: and that and be able to sit here and have

930
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: a real conversation about my business. Like when I say

931
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: I only have for Atlanta, No, I'm yeah that serious.

932
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah for Shore City blocks asks about me? Yeah

933
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: straight up. LLLC, Yeah, that's all day. LLC on you

934
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 1: when outside takes to come on, let's do it solo

935
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: solo so cheers. Sticking to that subject real quick. A

936
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: lot of people were shocked. I don't know if if

937
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: you ever did an interview since this, a lot of

938
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: people were shocked when they announced that you was even

939
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: doing the verses right, not only are you doing the verses,

940
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: but then who you was doing the verses against. I

941
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: think the industry was just like, wow, I didn't you know.

942
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: I remember me calling Swiss and me asking like for

943
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 1: inside information, like sure this just can actually go down,

944
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: and Swiss is like they had a private meeting. It

945
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: was Was that true that you had a private meeting

946
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: prior to that? I wouldn't lie. I'm gonna keep it

947
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, okay, because it just had to be

948
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: some understanding. Okay, you know what I'm saying, and there's

949
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: so much history and that you know what I'm saying,

950
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: And for me, I just wanted to believe that weight

951
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: all myself, because you know, contrary to people's beliefs, it

952
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: ain't what they think. The whole situation however, it's that too,

953
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: but values and morals, meaning that if I would say

954
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: what really happened, I gotta throw somebody under the bus

955
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: that I love. You know what I'm saying, like, I'm

956
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: not gonna do that, so I had to wear that

957
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: for fifteen years. So I'm just like, yo, at least musically,

958
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: let's put this shit in the space where that part

959
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: is at least good, just out of respect and and

960
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of people thought it was a game,

961
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: but it is for the culture. It's like, Yo, that's

962
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: unfinished business. But it is what it is. But when

963
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: it comes to what we do is as far as

964
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: leaders leadership, like it has to be some type of

965
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: understanding or we're gonna be extinct out here, bro, Like

966
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: you know rap It is like I'm like you, like

967
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: why I come outside? You know what I'm saying. You

968
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: still had a better chance going to Iraq. You know

969
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying That in the rapper in today's world,

970
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it has to start somewhere,

971
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Again, I don't want to

972
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: be the type of person to preaching teach, but I

973
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: feel like that moment just had to happen. People had

974
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: to see us in the same room, and I'll be

975
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: lying to say that we haven't seen each other, you

976
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Or rang that right, and like

977
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: we both like, you know what I'm saying, because it's

978
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: been so long, so many conversations, so much miscommunication, you

979
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And you know, if if you

980
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: saw it, you know it's for your you know how

981
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: many people and by the way, like Swiss need to

982
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: talk to us because that was the highest view versus

983
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: and as I can remember, right after that, they saw

984
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: that ship, the Triuler, So yeah, Swiss and you know

985
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: we're out here, baby, Yeah, let's be real. That's what

986
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,919
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you know, at the end of the day,

987
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: like you know, I can't speak on the real ship.

988
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: But what I can't say is at this point in

989
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: the game, you know, you don't work this hard to

990
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: get here, and everybody got ship to lose, now, you

991
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, a life that they always dreamed of.

992
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: Just like, let's let's do the artist ship first and

993
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: then everything else. So let me ask and you could

994
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: answer this how you want to. So in this private meeting,

995
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: was it discussed that you know that the Hill might

996
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: say something that's going too far and you can say

997
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Was that discussed? All that was not discussed.

998
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: It was just to see if we can sit in

1003
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna go that way just based off what it was,

1004
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: because you're talking about some ship that happened, you know,

Speaker 1: you got you gotta stand out there before anybody else

00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if this is right the same,

1061
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: But I'm just you how I'm on it. You know,

1062
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: he hit me because it was basically my tour. I

00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: was the front run. I was the first person on

00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: the tour and he hit me. He was like, yo,

1065
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You know, I want to

00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 1: get on this tour and you know, how have you

1067
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: taken I'm to be honest. You know where bro, I

00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: never blocked how you feed your family? It is what

1069
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: it is. I see that's after person. Yeah, I see that.

1070
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: What was that? But but I had to give that

1071
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: call because they weren't gonna let that go on if

1072
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: I said no, Well I was front run and I'm like, yo,

00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't never get between you and your money. That's fine.

1074
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: I think we got know what I'm saying that because

00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: I think I think and y'all cord you like it's listen,

1076
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. You know what I'm saying, Like

00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: we we we um. It's in the space where we

1078
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: can we can coexist, and I think that's all that matters.

1079
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: Like looking for Yeah, nobody's looking for you know. It

1080
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: wasn't like before that. We was hanging out every day,

1081
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, well what makes

1082
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: some nuch for growth back listen, real ship. So we're

1083
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna bounce aroun. I'm gonn I'm gonna get back to

1084
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: um therapy for my soul. Okay, Oh it's a good Yeah. Yeah.

1085
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: You said something that we just had. The megoes up

1086
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: here and he said something about coach k right. You're

1087
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: on coach k right. Um, what exactly what you're saying

1088
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: right there? I'm saying that again, you know, communicating is key, right,

1089
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying that when money is at plate and there's

1090
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: not the right type of communication, the lines team that

1091
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: seem to get blurred, and if you're not And this

1092
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: is another thing I want to say, and it's for

1093
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: anybody that's coming up in the game. There's no handbook

1094
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: or no template of how to do this ship. You

1095
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: give it your all, your risk of life, and then

1096
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you wake up and your multimlion

1097
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: more power than you can grasp. And and and if

1098
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: you come for one from you already got your own trauma.

1099
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: People to them, try to do things to you, funk

1100
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: over you, all these different things. So I'm dealing I'm

1101
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: dealing with that one question. He's dealing with, dealing with

1102
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: artists that went left um, but at the same time

1103
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 1: he's part of your management. At first at the time,

1104
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, Coach came to Like the craziest thing is

1105
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: Coach came to the studio because Dallas also studio in Atlanta.

1106
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: Because back then I was driving the g S four

1107
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: dred Lexus I had, I was iced out and I

1108
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: was spending cash money to get the studio and he

1109
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: was hearing about that, and that's how he came to

1110
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: the studio and started to be friend me. You know

1111
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And then over time he was just

1112
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: like somebody around it. I could be like, yo, can

1113
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: you take care of this? And he was doing it.

1114
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, he's great at what he does.

1115
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: But there was a lot of conversations that didn't happen

1116
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: before the fame and the money came under understanding. It's

1117
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: like getting into a marriage and you don't talk about

1118
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: what are the yeah right, what are the things that

1119
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: are deal breakers? And you know what what things you

1120
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: don't want because it's now it's a relationship. And for me,

1121
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm a street guy. If you do anything that seems

1122
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: questionable to me, then I just know how to handle it.

1123
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: How I handle it, you know what I'm saying, And

1124
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: again that ain't with the best communication. Ther lationship was

1125
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: what coach. It wasn't never Pete Pete. Now I didn't

1126
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: know p O. I only only knew Pe when him

1127
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: and co star, Right, OK, So just to get some

1128
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: clarity to it, some things went on. You know, I'm

1129
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: sound quite sure he would say different, you know what

1130
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying, as he should, but I just you know,

1131
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: I didn't trust a lot of things that And again

1132
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: there's no handbook for this, so I don't even know

1133
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: how it's supposed to go. I'm just understanding what I'm assuming.

1134
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: And so if you're not communicating with some and it's

1135
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: not going how you wanted to go, of course you're

1136
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: gonna be like yo, like I ain't rocking like that.

1137
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: And then he probably thought, you know what I'm saying,

1138
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: ain't going high he wanted to go. So if you

1139
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: ain't have no understanding going into this, and it's like

1140
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: right now, we we're sitting here and we're drinking and

1141
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: we're having fun, and we got a podcast, and this

1142
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: ship just blow out of the roof and then somebody

1143
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 1: just come drop this big bag of money on the table.

1144
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: But we but we ain't talked about you know what

1145
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because I'm like, yo, I'm spending millions like

1146
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm not fifty, but sitting or doing like you know

1147
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: what I mean, like the risk of my life. And

1148
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: he's like yo, but I you know what I'm saying.

1149
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: So there was never no issue that we couldn't resolve.

1150
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: But I just think when it wasn't talked about pre

1151
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: right money and pre success, it's like there's a lot

1152
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: of expectations there, and you know how to go with expectations,

1153
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, if if it ain't what you want, you

1154
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: to feel that down. So and I still got love

1155
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: for coach, Like I'm happy he's successful. I'm happy he's

1156
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: done what he did. I hear people all the time

1157
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: he's ain't putting nobody on but just looking around coaches

1158
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:11,479
Speaker 1: on done, Canda Zone, Drama Zone, so, the Red Zone,

1159
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: the Drummer boy Zone, Justice League Zone. These all people

1165
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: It's just that I didn't want the money for myself

1166
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: because I'm a hustler, so I'm gonna do what I

1267
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,400

1272
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: to go out out of town to do some shows

1273
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 1: for the weekend. Um, and I got all my homies

1274
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 1: on the tour bus. So it's like twenty of us

1275
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: on the tour bus, so a lot of choppers, a

1276
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: lot of choppers. And I and I gave it to

1277
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,040
Speaker 1: V one on three to Gregg Street, right, but I

1278
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: didn't tell nobody Kanye was on the song. They heard

1279
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: the song in the studio, but nobody knew Kanye was

1280
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: on the song. So we're on the tour bus and

1281
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: we headed out of town and Greg Street brings the

1282
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: song back like a hundred times. I mean, it was crazy.

1283
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: And when everybody heard Kanye West, I just I watched

1284
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: their eyes because you know, you would you would think

1285
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: like and I knew right then and was hit and

1286
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,560
Speaker 1: I never forget bro. I was like, we're back on

1287
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: We're back in the game. And I remember Ellie calling

1288
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: me like, man, he did it again, this is crazy

1289
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: and uh number one, and then Drake hopped on the remix.

1290
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: We did that on BT and the rest of his history. Man,

1291
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: and probably to be honest with you, I feel like

1292
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: it's probably one of Kanye's best verses ever. It was

1293
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: so crazy that jay Z got on it the remix

1294
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: if you remember, Yeah, so yeah, he had a record

1295
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 1: with Drake Kanye and Drake got on I Do with

1296
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: Andre three thousand and Jay C and I. You don't

1297
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: believe that I say that, go here there on Snowfall

1298
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I got. I got more records with jay Z than

1299
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 1: Biggie Small. Let's be clear, you feel me, Let's be

1300
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: clear what I'm saying. Let's be clear. Ship that is crazy.

1301
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Yeah, So who's your inspiration? On Bars?

1302
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,600
Speaker 1: You're saying you didn't come in as an artist, so

1303
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 1: you say, but you obviously got You said you got

1304
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: hold on a new Snowfall to No, No, No, Nona.

1305
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: You got more records, and I got more records with

1306
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: jay Z than he does with Biggie Small, for sure. Okay,

1307
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: but you're gonna give us somebody that song Snowfall. Hey man,

1308
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 1: let me finish my question. Goddamn bad guy. Tell me

1309
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,759
Speaker 1: you inspired by Bar Smiths. You have to be, because

1310
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: you're doing bars. You're saying you're not. You didn't come

1311
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: in as an artist like that, but you am seeing right.

1312
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: I think it's because of my love for music. But um,

1313
01:09:55,479 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: every morning before school I listened to all MASTERP, A, B,

1314
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: M j G. But my favorite was Tupac and more

1315
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 1: of my favorite was Tupac and still is to these days.

1316
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: Because he stood for something. He had values, he had morals,

1317
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,719
Speaker 1: he had integrity, and I had never seen that before

1318
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: because my uncles are still twenty dollars out of socks.

1319
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, People that I respect. What

1320
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying was taken from you know what I'm saying.

1321
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: And I couldn't get any information out of him. So

1322
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: how I learned how to survive and navigate through the streets.

1323
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: And I want to say that because even when these

1324
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: guys is coming up, you know, nine of ten percent

1325
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,560
Speaker 1: of it is music, of it is surviving and survival

1326
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 1: and navigating through what's going on. And the reason why

1327
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: I was able to navigate through a lot of things,

1328
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,560
Speaker 1: but because I listened to Tupac as if he was

1329
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 1: like that was my bibles, how I knew how to

1330
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 1: handle sit in situations and it was embedter than me.

1331
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: And it's just like, you know, he was a revolutionary

1332
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: before I knew what that was like he actually had

1333
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: He's still something and and and and he would take

1334
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: those risks when everybody around me was so used to

1335
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: how they was living that they didn't want to try

1336
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: to live any better. And I was like, with Ship,

1337
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go take some risk. So my my

1338
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: bible at that time, you know, no dispect to the

1339
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: big homie was every Tupac our I would give by

1340
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: myself the home never I ain't never heard that, but

1341
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 1: I listened to um Tupac every morning before school. And

1342
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: when I made my assistant to drop out of school

1343
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: in the sixth grade, I did that knowing that I

1344
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: had to make away from my mom and my sister.

1345
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: But I did that knowing that Tupac did what he

1346
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: had to do. Sixth grade. Yeah, yeah, sixth grade. I

Speaker 1: to all six songs and the last one was Sole

1387
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Survivor and I just started touring around with it because

1388
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: I had a party that night at Visions, and I

1389
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: told around whe I put the first verse on it,

1390
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm just kicking this more. We doing

1391
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: what I do. And then Shakire pulls up because he's

1392
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: coming to the party with us. Shaquire was a vice

1393
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: president of Dead to him at the time, and he said,

1394
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,719
Speaker 1: what you're working on? I played him Soul Survival. He's like, yo, guys,

1395
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: this this is it. This is I'm just like but

1396
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: at the top I had like trapped out, so I

1397
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: wasn't even thinking like that, and um, I thought it

1398
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: was a crossover record and I didn't want to do

1399
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: one of those. So we go to the party, We

1400
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 1: turned up, we drink, We come back and Shaquire goes,

1401
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,560
Speaker 1: why don't you picking us the record that she was

1402
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: working on ACoM because I didn't have nothing to work on,

1403
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: so I knocked the record out. It was done right.

1404
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: He heard, He was like, yo, this is crazy. I

1405
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: didn't think none of it. Fast forward, there's an intern

1406
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: at Pats work. We'll talk about the lawsuit later because

1407
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: I hadn had my business. There's studio that's with studio's

1408
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 1: intern there that wanted me to use his beats for

1409
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: Thug Motivation. One on one. I didn't use his beats.

1410
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know about masters back then, so I was

1411
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 1: just recording and leaving all my tapes and all my

1412
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: stuff at the studio. He gets all my songs, puts

1413
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: his beat on the frost. That's how we knew he

1414
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 1: did it. He puts his beat first like it's just instrumental,

1415
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,560
Speaker 1: and then my whole album and then he leaves it.

1416
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: So Thug Motivation got leaked like four months before we're

1417
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 1: supposed to come out. So but I'm with the wrong

1418
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: beat stuffs with all the songs. Every song you heard

1419
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: on th Movace was on this leak. So now I'm

1420
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 1: like halfway in, halfway out the streets. My man called me,

1421
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: He's like, Yo, your album's leaked, and I think I

1422
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,679
Speaker 1: knew who did it. So I jumped in my Porsch

1423
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: truck drive down to the studio. I got my a

1424
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: k this is this is no line. So they got

1425
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 1: him pinning up at the studio and I get there

1426
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: and my man like, y'all gonna just, you know, run

1427
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 1: from up. I said, no, I'm about to, you know

1428
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So, because now I'm thinking I gotta

1429
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: go back to the streets. Already went cold turkey. Ill

1430
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: don't told people. They don't even owe me the money

1431
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 1: that they owed me. You know what I'm saying. I'm saying,

1432
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: so now now this is it. You know what I'm saying.

1433
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: On top of the fact that right before I turned

1434
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: the al Men, I told my vocal cords, so I

1435
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: didn't even know if I was gonna be at the

1436
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 1: talk again because I had to have surgery, so I

1437
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: didn't even know if my voice was gonna be the same,

1438
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And we'll talk about that too.

1439
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: But and um so I get there, you know, I

1440
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 1: draw down on me and Slick pull it in up,

1441
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, being the brakes off of them.

1442
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: I gotta go through this whole lawsuit, but I had

1443
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 1: to pay them and to getting the big homie. The

1444
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: best thing to ever happened to me because at that

1445
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 1: time there was the biggest bootlegging ring going on in

1446
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: the world in Atlanta. Like it was bootlegg and everything

1447
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 1: you can think, like it was busting bootlegs. So me

1448
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: and Slick Puller and a few of my homies rode

1449
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: around for at least three weeks with three vans a

1450
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 1: lot of choppers, and ran up in every bootleg trying

1451
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: to take the CD back. But what I didn't realize

1452
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: was the a absolutely one thousand per cent. And what

1453
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 1: I didn't realize was that the music was already out

1454
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: and it was spreading to Detroit, d C. It was

1455
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: doing me good and I didn't know that. And it

1456
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: wasn't until I went to do the Birthday Bass and

1457
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: they played Bottom of the Map and twenty thousand people

1458
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: lost in the first prom and then I wanted to

1459
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: go a trap of dives my single right by now.

1460
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:39,919
Speaker 1: So surviving is huge in the streets, like it's crazy,

1461
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 1: some something I never expected. And how I knew is

1462
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to a show and I think I'm going

1463
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,559
Speaker 1: to Dallas. So I'm in the airport and I'm walking

1464
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,560

1553
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: DJ Tobi at this studio in the hood, and I

1554

1555
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: the room with him one of his producers, for like

1556
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 1: four hours and listening to every beat they had, and

1557
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: the last piet they played was that beat. And I

1558
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 1: got this thing like the sixs because I don't like

1559
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: necessarily write music. I see it, you know, I can.

1560
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: I can hear it beat and see what it's supposed

1561
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 1: to be so I know what it's gonna be when

1562
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: it's doff you. Yeah, you just you just see it,

1563
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,839
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I just get music differently.

1564
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, Yo, wait till I come back

1565
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: with this. And I did that, did that record and

1566
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: I played it for two and he went crazy, and

1567
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: I knew what it was because when I played it

1568
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: for l a read, he was just like, yoh, this

1569
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 1: is just a single. Or going back to my president

1570
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: is Black. I did that record five months before he won,

1571
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: and I put it on the album before he won

1572
01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:59,600
Speaker 1: because I had faith that he was gonna win and

1573
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: I need that. I just felt like at the time,

1574
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: we needed to change. So it's a lot of things

1575
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 1: that I did behind the scenes to really help him

1576
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 1: win in my opinion, like culture wise, right. But you know,

1577
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I told the story before it

1578
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 1: again got that he invited me to he invited me

1579
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 1: to a correspondence. Then this time he is Barack Obama.

1580
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 1: Barack Obama invited me to a correspondence. Then in New

1581
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,920

Speaker 1: the funk happened? I said all these things, And that's

1591
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: what really reminded me that I just never ever ever

1592
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: lose touch with my people on my core because they

1593

1644
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 1: like yo jeezy, Like yeah, I'm gonna vote. So it's

1645
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: just like, you know, even with Biden, like it was

1646
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 1: just tricky for me because it's just I just know

1647
01:27:58,200 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 1: all the things he promised, but then I have to

1648
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:02,839
Speaker 1: rein myself that there's no one man that can help everybody.

1649
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: I can't even help everybody around me. So it's just

1650
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: like you almost setting yourself up fulfilling because you have expectations,

1651
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'm saying it's like that

1652
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 1: woman in that White House isn't really controlling. No, he's

1653
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 1: not even telling the people, you know, it's more so

1654
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 1: he walked. It's a different thing. He might need some

1655
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 1: of them zeesy local little medical No, but no one's

1656
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:28,719
Speaker 1: seen this for this where they're like, was the president

1657
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 1: of the right? He clearly he just goes the math

1658
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: footage of him shake hands and nobody Yeah yeah, yeah,

1659
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:46,600
Speaker 1: looks like you're not. I mean, clearly it's not I

1660
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: mean at this point, but it would be able to

1661
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: see Kamala Harris, like you know what I mean, I'm

1662
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 1: not saying I'm wish it and then oh night seeing

1663
01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:01,160
Speaker 1: her be the first Yeah, like the one person. I

1664
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: do feel like it's genuine, know, if I'm honest, it's like,

1665
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but just every time I ever

1666
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,600
Speaker 1: been in the president so just even had something for

1667
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:16,439
Speaker 1: her team, it's Michelle Obama President. Feel like she's like

1668
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 1: she get it right, you know what? Yeah, she like

1669
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's just like you know,

1670
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 1: when you see a woman that's really like you know,

1671
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 1: and and by the way, like mont I get the

1672
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Rocks PROCs too, because it's like, it's hard to be

1673
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 1: the first the first black president and the most powerful

1674
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: man in the world. What do you have to go

1675
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: through to get to that? Not even that you don't

1676
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: have no scandal, No, ain't no, ain't no scandal. And

1677
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:44,240
Speaker 1: props to Michelle for that as well. Yeah, he probably

1678
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 1: knows she don't play. But yeah, and that's probably why

1679
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 1: she's so real because she wouldn't run in that field

1680
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: because she knows she don't want to be a part

1681
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: of that part of that. Yeah, I mean, I ain't

1682
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: gonna lie to I kind of because my man wouldn't.

1683
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 1: They're looking, you know, he came out Yeah great, Yeah, yeah,

1684
01:29:56,880 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 1: I don't what's that? Don't know. But at the end

1685
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 1: of the day, like if you kind of look at

1686
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: the history, you know, you exclude Barack Obama only because

1687
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 1: he handled himself presidentally and as a high value black man. Um,

1688
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:15,479
Speaker 1: who's really who really done it? Like? Who really done

1689
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:17,680
Speaker 1: it for us? Like? Who who do you feel has

1690
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 1: been the best president? I would say when when Reagan

1691
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: was in, they say the streets was cracking through, but

1692
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 1: that was illegally through. But then he just started the

1693
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 1: war on drugs too. Yeah, again and again, I was told.

1694
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 1: I was told one thing. You know what I'm saying,

1695
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 1: we can go, you know, back and forth. But I

1696
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 1: was told one thing very young, you never talked to

1697
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: people about religion and politics. You know what I mean?

1698
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:46,600
Speaker 1: For me, I just social media blew that up and

1699
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: everybody just like Sleepless the movies. Yeah, what is it

1700
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 1: called sleepless the movies? The movie? Um, sleepless sleepers. You

1701
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:58,519
Speaker 1: know I learned that about being locked up? Yeah yeah, yeah,

1702
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 1: that's the most drop. The first you don't talk about

1703
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:06,880
Speaker 1: talk about religion politics But Atlanta, right though, I know,

1704
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:09,759
Speaker 1: but this is a political question. I feel like Atlanta

1705
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:11,720
Speaker 1: should be the first city were like killing Mike is

1706
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: the the governor, Jesus, the fucking mayor, city council smoke.

1707
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 1: But contrary to people's beliefs. Killer Mike is one of

1708
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:32,480
Speaker 1: the most intelligent Black man I've ever talked. He's encyclopedia.

1709
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 1: He's like he knows his ship. Yeah, you know what

1710
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And he's solid, we know that. But he

1711
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 1: knows anything historical about any government. He's consistent with That's

1712
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 1: who he is. Um. But at the end of the day,

1713
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 1: like we don't try everything else. So I think, so,

1714
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 1: I know, I feel like he should running at this. Yeah.

1715
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like Killer Mike could be

1716
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 1: the mayor of Atlanta. You know how dope is that

1717
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 1: to be like the mayor of killer I'm going out there.

1718
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm getting apartment just about right to be there. I

1719
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 1: love Atlanta or Atlanta is the only place where you

1720
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 1: can come from anywhere and be anybody you want to be.

1721
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 1: It's so much opportunity there, um, and I think that's

1722
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:18,400
Speaker 1: what makes it special, you know what I'm saying. So

1723
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:20,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if one day we look up

1724
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 1: and it's something like that. But you ain't in the policy, man,

1725
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 1: I got, I got. I'm too honest, man, I'm gonna

1726
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 1: tell the truth. You know what I'm saying. It's gonna work.

1727
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I can't lie. You know,

1728
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm always be transparent, so and I wouldn't even want

1729
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 1: that burden. I feel like what I do um in

1730
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: real life, it's a little bit of that because I

1731
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:46,639
Speaker 1: could touch those people when a lot of people can't,

1732
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 1: and they trust me, you know what I'm saying, because

1733
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:51,680
Speaker 1: of my anteguty and my values and my morals, but

1734
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 1: also being jeezy like who I am, I can get

1735
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 1: anything done in my city, you know what I'm saying.

1736
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying, and I'd rather had that because I don't

1737
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 1: need no Grammys and wars and none of that. But

1738
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 1: as long as I got respect and I can move

1739
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 1: around my seat and people treat me like it's such

1740
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:10,720
Speaker 1: as somebody that really put in work, and somebody's out

1741
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 1: here really thriving and striving and show people that what

1742
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 1: you can do, and that's all I need. I think

1743
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:19,720
Speaker 1: being a politician would make you totally like you have

1744
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 1: to choose between the money and the people. I don't

1745
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:24,280
Speaker 1: ever want to be in that situationause I'm always gonna

1746
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 1: chose people. Well, do you see this like new Black preachers,

1747
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 1: these niggas hood yeah, they got better than us. Rose Races.

1748
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 1: He had nothing in his closet. You know, he's opress.

1749
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: He's an impressed run like it's crazy like that. They

1750
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 1: have a press conference. You hear the press comperence and

1751
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:50,640
Speaker 1: all that. We like this, it's ship is different now.

1752
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 1: But like the music, jeez, I'm not gonna lie to you.

1753
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 1: I didn't when when I'm sitting around with the young

1754
01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 1: homies and they're breaking down me this new music or

1755
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 1: what's going on, and these guys basically telling on themselves.

1756
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 1: Like if you notice when we was making music like that,

1757
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,120
Speaker 1: there was no names being mentioned, there was no blocks.

1758
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:14,040
Speaker 1: It was like we're saying pretty much your imagination, you

1759
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 1: take the rest of it. They're not like that right now. There. Well,

1760
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 1: well let me say this because in the beginning I

1761
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 1: went through a lot of that too, because I was

1762
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a carpenter, I'm not a mechanic, I'm not

1763
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:28,840
Speaker 1: a roofer. I can't tell you nothing about those things.

1764
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 1: But I am a hustling. I come from the streets,

1765
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But when I was telling

1766
01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 1: people what I was experiencing, what I was going through,

1767
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 1: it kind of felt like Drossnitch. I'm saying it wasn't

1768
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: because original Gangster Rapp would would have been like they say,

1769
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,880
Speaker 1: it's a cautionary time. Well when you say hit the bricks,

1770
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:50,320
Speaker 1: hit the lights, will they go to bricks? You know

1771
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 1: some people still has that like that, you know what

1772
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So, but for me, it was my truth.

1773
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 1: And then you know, I think a lot of the

1774
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 1: things that I was saying, the guys who were already up,

1775
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 1: they felt it. But a lot of the guys who

1776
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:05,960
Speaker 1: was trying to come up, like damn, like basically you're

1777
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,439
Speaker 1: giving them the blueprint. But it was about survival for me,

1778
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That's all I really knew,

1779
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it was nothing that's

1780
01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 1: I can really say, Like I couldn't what I was

1781
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 1: gonna talk about, like I'm not. That's funny as hell

1782
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:21,120
Speaker 1: because my first album, The War Report, after that, people

1783
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: had to come to me and say, you know, you

1784
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 1: could imagine some of this ship like you know, I

1785
01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:29,000
Speaker 1: didn't have to. You didn't imagine it. I didn't mean

1786
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 1: what you knew about that. I swear to God, Patchwork

1787
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 1: Studio the same thing. But I never forget. I'm working

1788
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:40,599
Speaker 1: on thug motivation. T I comes to the studio, I'm

1789
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 1: sitting in the studio. He'll tell you if you have

1839
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: But it was all starting to happen. And the minute

Speaker 1: But g Herbo just dropped the album from the Vibers

1848
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 1: or More Yes, and it's something that's very very real,

1849
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 1: real because we all deal with that, because I'm sure

1850
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 1: you was a part of a bunch of different people.

1851
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: You're one of the thirty that probably made it, one

1852
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:47,640
Speaker 1: of the hundreds that probably made it. At me, I

1853

Speaker 1: just want to award right, that's right, don't forget that.

1854
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 1: And it was weird to me because I got a

1855
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 1: lot of calls. I got a lot of unnecessary calls

1856
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 1: that I never got before. And it started to start

1857
01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:03,640
Speaker 1: the dawn on me that it's like, damn, some of

1858
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 1: these calls I actually take because I have survivor's remorse.

1859
01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, this guy, whatever be in my position,

1860
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 1: this guy. So this guy asked me for something I love. Yeah, yeah,

1861
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:16,200

01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 1: much for me. Have you ever dealt with that? Man?

1863

01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:36,719
Speaker 1: I had my whole neighborhood living in my house. Jesus,

1867
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:38,760
Speaker 1: my first man and I had my whole neighborhood lived.

1868
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: There was an open door, sixty seventy people in at

1869
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 1: the time. You know, what I'm saying. It was loose Jesus, Yes,

1870
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:45,519
Speaker 1: yeah I was. I was, but but I just felt

1871
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:47,960
Speaker 1: like when you from the hood, you really want to

1872
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 1: go to take everybody, put everybody on that was my

1873
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 1: and then um, you know, and as you start paying

1874
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:01,040
Speaker 1: the law suits and things are happening, things are coming

1875
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: up missing, and nobody's taking responsibility. Everything is on you.

1876
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You're just like, wow, you

1877
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You bound, people calls about watches,

1878
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:12,560
Speaker 1: people passing on your toilet, all that ship, you know,

1879
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 1: and you're coming in and it's just like you still

1880
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 1: feel alone, you know what I'm saying. And then you know,

1881
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:25,320
Speaker 1: I have a gift of being able to visualize where

1882
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 1: I need to be and what's the best way to

1883
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:33,440
Speaker 1: get there from A to C without compromising my integrity,

1884
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 1: And every time I took a step towards that, I

1885
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:42,680
Speaker 1: would see how people around me would react, you know

1886
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:44,639
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And it's just like, as the money

1887
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 1: start coming in, you know what money now, it's like

1888
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:51,160
Speaker 1: you like everyone. Yeah, everyone's saying like almost like you

1889
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 1: like food, because you can't go by just for yourself

1890
01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 1: without making sure you know what I'm saying, Like so

1891
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 1: it would be that way, and then it just went

1892
01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 1: on for so long, like years and years and years,

1893
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:06,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, what's going on. It was the

1894
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 1: last time that I got locked up in l A

1895
01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:14,320
Speaker 1: on tour, and I remember just had my a year

1896
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:17,600
Speaker 1: old daughter and I got locked up on the Whiskalifa

1897
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 1: tour on the murder. They tried to put on me

1898
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 1: that I had they found the gun and your toy

1899
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 1: bus or something. Yeah, I found several, but none of

1900
01:41:27,400 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 1: them had my finger prints on. Right, So now I'm

1901
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 1: in the l A County jail and I ain't nobody

1902
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 1: taking care of my people, you know what I'm saying.

1903
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:40,120
Speaker 1: I got ten people with me. It's a million dollar

1904
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:42,560
Speaker 1: bill for everybody that women. They wanted to let you go.

1905
01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:46,360
Speaker 1: I think they came. They came to get me out,

1906
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 1: But I'm like, these people that are with me, they're

1907
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 1: not criminals. This is my staff. So of course I

1908
01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:55,320
Speaker 1: don't want to tell nobody how to get my paper,

1909
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 1: but I don't want to lead him here. So I

1910
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 1: stayed in there until I was able to well, I

1911
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: went out right and get everybody out the way we

1912
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:05,639
Speaker 1: came in. But what I noticed is when I came out,

1913
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 1: I was mad at the world. I was depressed, I

1914
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 1: was angry, and I was really angry at the people

1915
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 1: that was with me because nobody did anything for the

1916
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 1: people I love. And that's when I made the decision

1917
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 1: that which was the hardest decision in my life, as

1918
01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:23,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk alone, and that's what you're talking about.

1919
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:28,080
Speaker 1: And every since then, it's just like it's me. Of course,

1920
01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 1: I got people around me that I love, and you know,

1921
01:42:31,080 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 1: my staff and people that work with me and the

1922
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:35,639
Speaker 1: people that I employed because we had the same vision.

1923
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,599
Speaker 1: But as far just keeping people around the safe face,

1924
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,639
Speaker 1: I can't do that anymore. Can that bring too much

1925
01:42:41,680 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 1: bad energy? And it's just like I don't need bad energy. Well,

1926
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to do with my life, it's just like,

1927
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 1: you don't want that. And I feel g Herber because

1928
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:52,639
Speaker 1: he's a kid from Chicago. It's going through some real things.

1929
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 1: You can tell that he's beyond the star. Yeah, so

1930
01:42:55,400 --> 01:43:02,720
Speaker 1: he's only said his knowledge is crazy. And when I

1931
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:06,200
Speaker 1: started being around people that, you know, they really wanted

1932
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:08,880
Speaker 1: to see me win or connect me with people that

1933
01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:11,880
Speaker 1: I really couldn't get in the room with That's when

1934
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:13,880
Speaker 1: I started to see like, oh, there are people out

1935
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:16,360
Speaker 1: there in the world. They're good people. You know what

1936
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying, They're good people. Know what I'm saying, Like,

01:43:32,520 --> 01:43:34,800
Speaker 1: have the same vision. We didn't want to be the

1944
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:44,240
Speaker 1: same place. My palette is different, like yeah, like yeah,

01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 1: you're weird, like different music now, you know what I'm saying.

1947
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm like getting up in the store listening. It's just

1948
01:43:57,680 --> 01:43:59,519
Speaker 1: like he's bucking you know what I'm saying. You know,

1949
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:02,880
Speaker 1: So now I'm I'm eating healthy, I'm taking care of myself.

1950
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,559
Speaker 1: I lost sixty pounds. You know, where's all the gangsters

1951
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:07,680
Speaker 1: in the front row? Now is women throwing pantis at me?

1952
01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:09,960
Speaker 1: I ain't going back, you know what I'm saying. I'm like, yo,

1953
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 1: this is it. And it wasn't until so imagine everything

1954
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 1: everybody at work I put out into the recession. It's

1955
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 1: when I told myself that you're still free, you're still alive,

1956
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 1: You're ad meant to be you'd meant to be a star.

1957
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 1: And that's when I started kind of sitting the access.

1958
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 1: But then when I got to what happened in um

1959
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:36,000
Speaker 1: the Bay, that's when I really said, I'm not even

1960
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna try to save face anymore. You know, I love y'all,

1961
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:41,320
Speaker 1: and I can take care of people from a distance.

1962
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,200
Speaker 1: You don't have to be with me every day for

1963
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:46,760
Speaker 1: you to feel to love because we're not on the

1964
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:48,840
Speaker 1: same path, you know what I'm saying. And that's that

1965
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,519
Speaker 1: was the realization. And I'm not disrespect to anyone because

1966
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:56,600
Speaker 1: I love everyone. But that's when my piece began. You

1967
01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I can see it. And if

1968
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: people love you, they want you to grow. Yeah, but

1969
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:03,479
Speaker 1: then sometimes people are scared if you go, you're gonna

1970
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:05,880
Speaker 1: leave the maham. You know what I'm saying, And that's

1971
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 1: like the most dangerous. That's why I think real Fresh

1972
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 1: ain't here. God what I'm saying, that's why Vonne ain't here.

1973
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, that's why Adobe ain't here,

1974
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 1: That's why they're not That's why two PACs not you

1975
01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:19,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that's why Big is not here, like

1976
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: because somebody was like, no, you can't go. You know

1977
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, You really just think, I mean, come on,

1978
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:28,120
Speaker 1: that's why Nipcy Hustle ain't here. Think about that. Hussle

1979
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:31,040
Speaker 1: ain't do nothing but good. But he stayed in the hood,

1980
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:35,320
Speaker 1: invested in his own book. There that felt like, I

1981
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 1: don't want to see you go anything. Try to lead

1982
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:39,880
Speaker 1: by example, right, And that was that. But we spoke

1983
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: about our presidents black and what we did touch on

1984
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 1: is that nozzles on that record, Yes, but at one

1985
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 1: point now have at least the album called Dead. At

1986
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:52,919
Speaker 1: this time, Atlanta is at the top of the motherfucker

1987
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 1: So I knew what Naz was insinuating. But he was saying,

1988
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, the ethics of hip hop, but Atlanta being

1989
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:03,719
Speaker 1: so at the forefront of the game, it almost felt

1990
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: like Atlanta. This shot was directed towards Atlanta, and you

1991
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:11,400
Speaker 1: was wanting to as a whole with two stories. I

1992
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 1: met a nas in one twelve bathroom, just bathroom. I

1993
01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:16,880
Speaker 1: was in there with all my change, A lot of

1994
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 1: bathroom stories. Yeah, no, no, Once twelve the club's historical,

1995
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 1: and I met him in the bathroom, you know, bathroom

1996
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:29,559
Speaker 1: the thing saying I'm not your jeez, You're like, yeah,

1997
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 1: what's up? But I kind of felt like, you know

1998
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:33,639
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like you give me what I wanted,

1999
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I was like, oh,

2000
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:37,920
Speaker 1: you don't know me, So i'mnna use that for motivation.

2001
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:40,560
Speaker 1: So when I finally got on, I'm on death to

2002
01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 1: him on the same I think it was on death

2003
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:44,200
Speaker 1: him at the time, I'm on the same label you

2004
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:48,559
Speaker 1: on and I'm popping. So when I heard hip hop

2005
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:53,080
Speaker 1: is dead, I immediately felt like, you know, like you

2006
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 1: basically saying because I'm on now, right, So they baited

2007
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 1: me in there's what do you think about? What he's said?

2008
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:04,800
Speaker 1: Was like, ain't never bust this gun. I'm just going in.

2009
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:07,840
Speaker 1: But I don't even know him, you know what I'm saying.

2010
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:11,679
Speaker 1: And the craziest thing is there's a lot of people

2011
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:14,719
Speaker 1: in this game that I don't have respect for because

2012
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:18,320
Speaker 1: it's all of aacide. It's all about the money, it's

2013
01:47:18,360 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 1: all about the cloud, it's all about you know what

2014
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:25,559
Speaker 1: they want you to believe. But the more conversations nas

2015
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:29,479
Speaker 1: than I had, I feel like he's hip hop's a

2016
01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 1: leap because he is the big home. But how does

2017
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 1: this conversation start from you disagreeing with his state? Because

2018
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 1: how you handle me? He called me? He said, Yo,

2019
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:41,320
Speaker 1: what's up? You know? He called me, so so you

2020
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:44,560
Speaker 1: go go crazy on on my phone? So calm. I

2021
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:46,479
Speaker 1: was ready to go to war, but I was ready

2022
01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 1: for him to say something crazy. I just couldn't wait,

2023
01:47:48,479 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 1: he said. He said, what's up? King? He said peace? King?

2024
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:52,600
Speaker 1: I said, you know what's going on? He was like,

2025
01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 1: I can understand why you feel the way you feel,

2026
01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 1: and they just kind of walked me through with his

2027
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 1: thought process as wool and I feel so crazy on

2028
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 1: that phone. You know what I'm saying by the top

2029
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:06,000
Speaker 1: of guys like yeah, you know I love your music.

2030
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. We all to do a song

2031
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:11,439
Speaker 1: together one day, you know. He was like, yeah, no,

2032
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:13,519
Speaker 1: whatever you want. And when I called him for my

2033
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 1: president is black, he said, I got you. He sent

2034
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:18,720
Speaker 1: that ship back and like and like and pulled up

2035
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 1: in Atlanta in the hood by himself with his driver

2036
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 1: to shoot the video and everything that I've ever done

2037
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:30,000
Speaker 1: in life that was an accomplishment for me. It's like

2038
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:32,599
Speaker 1: a top five people that give me a call. One

2039
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 1: is whole, the other one is not. He always he

2040
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 1: just he hit me the other days like peace King,

2041
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,400
Speaker 1: that's it, you know what I'm saying. Or peace King,

2042
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 1: I see, that's it. And and to me, that's what

2043
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:49,200
Speaker 1: leading by leadership is about, because if he would have

2044
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: got on my level and match my energy, who knows what,

2045
01:48:55,280 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 1: but not even just it being all bad, he would

2046
01:48:57,840 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 1: have still something me to make me be like that

2047
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 1: the next young cats say something about me the water right.

2048
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:07,599
Speaker 1: So now I'm like, oh, yeah, you're not jumping him,

2049
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:10,320
Speaker 1: not jumping at you forced you not to jump at

2050
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:12,799
Speaker 1: like Freddy Gives or somebody else, because now I understand

2051
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:14,960
Speaker 1: the frustration. You know what I'm saying. I'm saying, like

2052
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:16,960
Speaker 1: ivery we all want to be on, we all want

2053
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 1: to be important, we all want to be a significant

2054
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:20,639
Speaker 1: we all know we tellent. I told Freddy to give

2055
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 1: that the day one bro you got you don't even

2056
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 1: need me. Actually I'm in your way, but I'm gonna

2057
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:28,360
Speaker 1: be honest, but I'm in your way, but I got

2058
01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:31,760
Speaker 1: too many issues out here. I got bad things that

2059
01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:33,720
Speaker 1: I need to iron out because I haven't been there.

2060
01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:35,920
Speaker 1: I haven't been the coolest guy with a lot of

2061
01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:38,639
Speaker 1: these exects. You know, I'm getting the business. So I'm

2062
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:41,599
Speaker 1: still going off of my past or where I don't

2063
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 1: check these people and they never forgotten. Not in position

2064
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 1: is the powerty like I'm not giving him to deal,

2065
01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's like I'm hurting you.

2066
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm in your way. You got it and he did that.

2067
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 1: You don't look at it right. So let let me.

01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:26,800
Speaker 1: rap on the record, but he said he didn't feel

2076
01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 1: it like that, so he would do the hook and uh,

2077
01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:32,160
Speaker 1: bread to something what he did and he did it,

2078
01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:36,280

2156
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:49,200
Speaker 1: want to work with this shot there. Yeah, because I

2157
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:52,960
Speaker 1: always Maxwell was one. But one day I was in

2158
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:55,480
Speaker 1: New York and I was just hanging out. I mean Maxwell,

2165
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:12,600
Speaker 1: Maxwell got a record. He was one of the ones

2166
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:15,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to do something, but sho and did you

2167
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:22,000
Speaker 1: have a chord? The verses in the talk together, I

2168
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:27,560
Speaker 1: just feel like Maxwell lace versus. Actually he laid his

2169
01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:31,040
Speaker 1: versus in the control room. He wanted up mike with

2170
01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:33,840

2171
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,120

2172
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, No, I had an amazing run. Like I

2173
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:47,720
Speaker 1: feel like, and I'm just getting started. I feel like

2174
01:55:47,800 --> 01:55:50,040
Speaker 1: that even when I think about all the stuff me

2175
01:55:50,080 --> 01:55:52,400
Speaker 1: and Hovid done, and then's not just because it's top tier.

2176
01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:55,520
Speaker 1: It's just because we we got things that you know,

2177
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:58,320
Speaker 1: people don't have, like meaning like we got history and

2178
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:01,120

2182
01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:17,600
Speaker 1: pushed the envelope a little bit and it made, you know,

2183
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:23,080
Speaker 1: just something that was legendary. So I'm very happy about

2184
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:25,760
Speaker 1: that because again, I didn't come into the game to

2185
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:29,640
Speaker 1: be a rapper, right, I was trying to be a CEO.

2196
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 1: boost is one of the kind of by yes, yes,

2197
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 1: we noticed, right. And I really respect Boosey's perspective because

2198
01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:15,240
Speaker 1: that's where aunts and Uncle's taught us. He's never forgot

2199
01:57:15,320 --> 01:57:18,280
Speaker 1: that though, you know what I'm saying, Like he understands

2200
01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:22,640
Speaker 1: that's what it is. And probably because he's so and

2201
01:57:22,720 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 1: this I'm gonna say this wrong. What y'all gonna mean

2202
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 1: what I said, Boosey reminds me of the fly that

2203
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, the thing, the thing that when we go

2204
01:57:33,840 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 1: to your grandma house, she got the thing on the

2205
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:40,720
Speaker 1: coming from the ceiling to get the f and the

2206
01:57:40,880 --> 01:57:46,160
Speaker 1: leather sofa, the plastic plastic on the sofa. It's old

2207
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:49,080
Speaker 1: school moral. Listen, first of all. And I'm not saying

2208
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:51,840
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm not preaching violence or whatever when

2209
01:57:51,840 --> 01:57:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't got Boosey called me when Boosey first Well,

2210
01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 1: two things that I was with him when he first

2211
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:59,200
Speaker 1: got out the last time he got out, and then

2212
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:01,320
Speaker 1: he called on me when we did better believe it

2213
01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:03,840
Speaker 1: to come to bad Ruge. Well, he actually called me

2214
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:05,720
Speaker 1: before that. I was head of the Texas or something,

2215
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:08,600
Speaker 1: and he was doing a giveaway for some kids, and

2216
01:58:08,640 --> 01:58:10,640
Speaker 1: I told my tour bus driver to turn the bus around.

2217
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 1: We drove Baton Rouge and I went out there and

2218
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:15,480
Speaker 1: um with him and gave away bicycles and all that.

2219
01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 1: So that's how I knew how and bet he was

2220
01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:20,120
Speaker 1: in the community. That's that's who he is. Like he

2221
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 1: got a great heart. Um. But when we did better

2222
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:26,800
Speaker 1: believe it, I came down and I stayed in this

2223
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:29,040
Speaker 1: hotel in Bad Rules. If you know anything about Bad Ruge,

2224
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm a five star guy. I'm like, whole

01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:39,360
Speaker 1: is the first time I've ever seen an extend the clips.

2228
01:58:39,800 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 1: Every little guy that was with Boosey had him hanging

2229
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:43,920
Speaker 1: out of his pocket, and I'm just like, what is that?

2230
01:58:44,200 --> 01:58:45,920
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what's going on? He

2231
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:47,560
Speaker 1: pulled it out. I was like, oh, ship, you know

2232
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I was just like, so that's

2233
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 1: the first thing I noticed about him. You don't got

2234
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 1: no security, it's just those little guys to be with him.

2235
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 1: But then what I immediately noticed was the type of

2236
01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 1: respect that he had where he's from. This movie is

2237
01:59:01,280 --> 01:59:04,080
Speaker 1: just like a dot of battery, bro. Like I'm talking

2238
01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 1: about like he's presidential. And we go do the video.

2239
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:13,560
Speaker 1: Video goes well, So now I'm in Baton Rouge. There's

2240
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:16,240
Speaker 1: no flight leaving out, so i gotta stay tonight. So

2241
01:59:16,280 --> 01:59:18,640
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do when you're in Bad Rules? He's like,

2242
01:59:18,720 --> 01:59:21,120
Speaker 1: let's go to the club. I'm like, yeah, bad come

2243
01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:22,800
Speaker 1: pick me up. So they come pick me up about

2244
01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:25,120
Speaker 1: ten fifteen cars deep, so I might be going to

2245
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:27,280
Speaker 1: the club. I got my jewels. Oh my smell good.

2246
01:59:27,320 --> 01:59:28,520
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I think we're about to

2247
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:30,800
Speaker 1: go hit it. We pull up in front of a house.

2248
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:34,040
Speaker 1: It's a million cars at this house. Went to a

2249
01:59:34,120 --> 01:59:40,720
Speaker 1: house party, bad roof, but this is the club. So

2250
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,560
Speaker 1: we're talking this house. We're walking to this house. There's

2251
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 1: no lie. We're walking to this house and it's cracking.

2252
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:50,040
Speaker 1: Do you walk through the house? Then you get to

2253
01:59:50,120 --> 01:59:52,200
Speaker 1: the backyard and that's where the club is at. So

2254
01:59:52,280 --> 01:59:55,160
Speaker 1: it's in the backyard in a fence, got a picture, booth,

2255
01:59:55,400 --> 02:00:00,440
Speaker 1: ball everybody out there. It's crazy club. It's the house though.

2256
02:00:02,280 --> 02:00:03,880
Speaker 1: It's like you're going to the house in the neighborhood,

2257
02:00:04,200 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 1: but that's the club. I'm just sitting around like, oh ship,

2258
02:00:06,680 --> 02:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Like this is the club. So we went in there,

2259
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:10,920
Speaker 1: we had it, we lit up, we had a great time.

2260
02:00:11,440 --> 02:00:14,240
Speaker 1: And then, um, I don't forget. I told Booty when

2261
02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:16,400
Speaker 1: he got into trouble. I was like, yo, bro, you

2262
02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:18,520
Speaker 1: gotta get out of bad rules because it's like, really,

2263
02:00:18,560 --> 02:00:20,520
Speaker 1: you're too big, you know what I'm saying. And I

2264
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:23,400
Speaker 1: think the last time he got in trouble. We talked,

2265
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, I just remember him moving to Atlanta. So

2266
02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm just really happy that he got itself out of

2267
02:00:27,640 --> 02:00:30,240
Speaker 1: the situation because he was what it was in my eyes.

2268
02:00:30,840 --> 02:00:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he see it the same way.

2269
02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:34,840
Speaker 1: He's too powerful there and there was he said it though,

2270
02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:36,640
Speaker 1: he said most rappers get murdered, and they said that

2271
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:38,040
Speaker 1: that's the reason why he got out of his own

2272
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:39,880
Speaker 1: But I only think that. I think it was with

2273
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:44,120
Speaker 1: law enforcement. He was too powerful and they wasn't gonna

2274
02:00:44,200 --> 02:00:46,320
Speaker 1: let that going for long. Because it was the last

2275
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:48,440
Speaker 1: time I talked to Booty, he was like, he wrote

2276
02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:50,520
Speaker 1: me a letter and he said they was trying to

2277
02:00:50,680 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 1: give him the death penalty. So imagine you're reading the letter.

2278
02:00:54,840 --> 02:00:56,560
Speaker 1: You're sitting there and it's just like, yo, you know,

2279
02:00:57,320 --> 02:00:59,120
Speaker 1: this is what I'm going through, you know, and they're

2280
02:00:59,120 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 1: giving me the death pendal tea know, I'm just like, damn,

2281
02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:03,040
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. So shout out to

2282
02:01:03,040 --> 02:01:04,760

2343
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:38,640
Speaker 1: This is my last question. Do you move different now

2344
02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:43,560
Speaker 1: that all of these rappers are disappearing? I wouldn't say

2345
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:46,920
Speaker 1: move different? Is then I moved? How I know how

2346
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:50,400
Speaker 1: to move because I know nobody's exempt that. I'm never

2347
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna I'm never gonna let nobody to sensitize me because

2348
02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:55,720
Speaker 1: of my position. I know what it is. It's been

2349
02:04:55,800 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 1: that way since I jumped off the ports. Ain't nothing changed,

2350
02:04:58,240 --> 02:04:59,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, just a little more active.

2351
02:04:59,840 --> 02:05:06,440
Speaker 1: But I think God for being through the things that

2352
02:05:06,520 --> 02:05:09,720
Speaker 1: I went through on the street level, because I feel

2353
02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:12,200
Speaker 1: like that's what got me to where I'm at as

2354
02:05:12,280 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 1: far as you know, morals and not just flipping and

2355
02:05:16,960 --> 02:05:19,040
Speaker 1: doing crazy things. Of course, everybody got their you know,

2356
02:05:19,160 --> 02:05:22,080
Speaker 1: their stuff. But what I'm saying it is like I

2357
02:05:22,160 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 1: think that's the best gift I ever received is survival.

2358
02:05:27,600 --> 02:05:30,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and what you're saying, it

2359
02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:31,880
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense because when you met me,

2360
02:05:32,080 --> 02:05:35,480
Speaker 1: I was living for survival. You know what I'm saying

2361
02:05:35,960 --> 02:05:38,480
Speaker 1: out of survival and the reason why it's so thin

2362
02:05:38,560 --> 02:05:41,760
Speaker 1: because now I'm living not love meaning that you know,

2363
02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:45,400
Speaker 1: I employed people, you know what I'm saying. They get

2364
02:05:45,440 --> 02:05:47,080
Speaker 1: a chance to live out their dreams. You know what

2365
02:05:47,080 --> 02:05:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I I've accumulated things that you don't have

2366
02:05:51,400 --> 02:05:58,720
Speaker 1: to take no more shots, right what I'm saying. But um,

2367
02:05:59,600 --> 02:06:01,880
Speaker 1: it's differ living out a lot a lot of out

2368
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:04,560
Speaker 1: of survival and and living out of love because just

2369
02:06:04,720 --> 02:06:07,480
Speaker 1: like I love what I do, I love my people,

2370
02:06:07,600 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 1: I love you know what I represent. You know, I

2371
02:06:10,880 --> 02:06:14,640
Speaker 1: love getting better, I love evolving, I love giving game.

2372
02:06:15,320 --> 02:06:17,920
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I love surviving. So it's

2373
02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:21,520
Speaker 1: just like, you know, it's it's it's a different world now,

2374
02:06:21,640 --> 02:06:24,880
Speaker 1: meaning that you know when I said skies a limit,

2375
02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:28,560
Speaker 1: you know that was half the truth. Ain't know, you

2376
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:31,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that that's it. You know what

2377
02:06:31,160 --> 02:06:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying, And now I see that more than ever.

2378
02:06:34,360 --> 02:06:40,040
Speaker 1: So it's just like, but however, I don't forget what

2379
02:06:40,160 --> 02:06:42,360
Speaker 1: I'm a child of, where I come from, the cloth

2380
02:06:42,440 --> 02:06:45,400
Speaker 1: that I am, because that's what keeps me safe. And

2381
02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:47,160
Speaker 1: that's why I'm maybe to go in these places and

2382
02:06:47,520 --> 02:06:49,600
Speaker 1: be around these people. Because I I was in Detroit

2383
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:52,040
Speaker 1: two days ago. I felt like I was home. You

2384
02:06:52,080 --> 02:06:54,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying on the block, you know, shout

2385
02:06:54,040 --> 02:06:56,320
Speaker 1: out to full one, you know, think of as Strathmore.

2386
02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:58,960
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I might head on the

2387
02:06:58,960 --> 02:07:01,200
Speaker 1: spiel was just like there us, you know what I'm saying.

2388
02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:04,360
Speaker 1: Because the police pull up, guess what, we're all together.

2389
02:07:04,400 --> 02:07:07,760
Speaker 1: They don't care that I'm jeasy, I'm saying, right. But

2390
02:07:07,960 --> 02:07:10,320
Speaker 1: at the same time, I love that because that's the

2391
02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:12,480
Speaker 1: one thing that I have when I walk in the

2392
02:07:12,600 --> 02:07:15,560
Speaker 1: room and do business with these execs that they don't have.

2393
02:07:16,360 --> 02:07:18,640
Speaker 1: They don't got that. They don't got that natural instinct,

2394
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,640
Speaker 1: they don't got that know how to survive. They don't

2395
02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:22,600
Speaker 1: got that off the top of the head, come up

2396
02:07:22,680 --> 02:07:25,760
Speaker 1: with a solution like like that you don't even think about.

2397
02:07:26,040 --> 02:07:29,600
Speaker 1: They don't got that. Feelis um just feel its driving

2398
02:07:30,080 --> 02:07:31,320
