That's the reason why we're going through, 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:23.840 which we didn't know we was going to be in 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.160 an interim for so long, right right, it's not really 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.320 our fun because we've been kind of throwing people off, right, 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.000 So explain it to the fans. What's called. Now we're 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.479 between deals, we could we can officially announce our new 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.040 Revolt deal right now. Yes, yes, yes, it's a full 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:44.520 show that's gonna be professionally. This is like the unofficial 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.640 for our fans. First, that's yeah. So we got a 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.120 fifty episode deal with which is crazy because people do 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.040 they don't sign TV like that. They it's like an 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.680 eight episode, six episode, twelve episode thing. People don't sign 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:02.120 you for fifty episodes. Yeah. So so now it's changed 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.440 the dynamic a little bit, and we still with CBS, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.600 but we're gonna we're doing some different things, different things, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.000 so we're gonna lead as a TV show but still 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.600 be a podcast. Don't worry about that, people, Yes, you 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.040 still get it and as you know, um, if you 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:20.040 follow this season, we have about seventy something episodes, seventy 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.760 we're about to be seventy nine seven nine episodes. So 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.960 just think about like this. If you're a podcast so 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.760 think about it like this. If you're a podcast fan, 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.919 meaning your audio just audio, You're still gonna get extras. 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.760 You're gonna still gonna get episodes that won't be on 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.280 Revolt that would just be special audio. Mean, so I'm 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.360 glad that the fans know that because but so far 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.600 after the season two, we already got Amber Rows.

Just to be 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.680 clear in case they don't understand. We've been kind of 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.320 in a hiatus. But still we want to drop contents 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:18.880 and we want to drop we still we're still out 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.000 there for you, you know. Um, so so we're doing 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.880 our thing. Uh. I want to get to one story 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.159 real quick. Uh this biggie small as mural, which which 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.680 you're not going to tear down down which so initially 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.040 the guy said he was gonna tear it down and 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:38.240 he wanted twelve fifty a month, uh to keep the 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.560 keep it up correct. And this is the time when 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.080 I was I was kind of saying, this is where 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.440 the hip hop Union should be in play, because I 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.640 don't feel like everybody's like, yo, you know, j should 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.800 take care of that and Big should take care of that. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.440 And I'm like why though, like you know what I'm saying, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.960 Big he gave just as much to hip hop as 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.680 he gave to you know, he gave his life to 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.120 So I mean, I thought this should be a union 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.160 to step up and um sort of make that a 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.360 historic monument. Make it hard, but glucky to the landlord 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.280 wasn't as greedy son of a bitch as he thought 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.920 he was. He listened to the people, and he did 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.400 the smart listen to the people and was going to 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:20.240 Burner's house. It was still the benefit of the came 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.320 to better. He listened to the culture. So also, we 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.400 want to let these people know that right now we 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.800 are joined by our friends.

For Miami, um, you know, 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.200 get your record promoted, And everybody said, it's Sweetness. So 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.600 I want you to describe, you know, which what position 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.880 you played in the industry and and things like that 0:10:55.920 --> 0:11:00.800 to these people who don't know, Um, okay, Well, to 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.440 be fair, you can kind of think about it like 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.400 I'm kind of like a little Shampoo, you know, I 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.600 came from. I came from that era. I'm younger than them, 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.800 but all the ogs like Shampoo and the Shadows and 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.440 you know, the crazyhood when they have Bad Boy in Miami. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.880 I mean I came from all that guerrilla wise and 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.040 um street marketing. As far as like I'm always in 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:22.960 the clubs every night. I've probably been in the club 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.040 every night for like ten years. It's probably not a 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.160 night I missed because mind you talk, in the day, 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.840 there was no Instagram. You don't know who was going 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.400 to be in the club. You don't know who's gonna 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.719 go through. I don't want to take pres he's just 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:42.319 come outside to go back inside that he'll go outside 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.400 and just go to my nee. But when you like 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.000 the digital camera and yet uploaded, like it's not as 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.360 easy as it is now. So um, I've been able 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.440 to transition from that to being able to go with 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.800 work now with them, I wanna regional tips. So if 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.480 you saw Florida in Miami, because that's my home. And 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.720 no matter how hard I try to leave and go 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.079 to like New York and try to work for like 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.440 a label, I'm too good in my own market. So 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.680 they rather just let me just give you a little 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.520 more and stay there. But other than that, like I 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:16.160 work with Epic now three got the checks? Yeah you 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.679 think you did that? Yeah, we gotta talk about you think. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.719 Let's let's keep it. I mean, I'm a female in 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.200 the industry, and I play my position very well. I 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:25.720 know what it is when I walk in the building, 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.880 if I'm looking a certain way or I'm doing certain things. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.520 I don't put it past nobody. I would hope that 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.040 it's not true because I look up to this man. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.240 I feel like I've been sexually arassed my whole career. 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:39.360 Just always say I'll take you down, like I'm like 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:44.080 I could have sued you because the first time I 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.680 feel like I'm abused the first time I'm when I 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.199 read this ship, I said, Damn, that's it just saying 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:54.040 you look good, that's sexual around. That's what it's. It's 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.720 a marriage. You know. I've been through so much, and 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.280 I think about all the opportunities that I could have 0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:59.840 sued somebody, and I think, I'm like, who wants to 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.360 work with the girl that foods? I'm a hip hop like, 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.079 I'm not gonna you know, I'm gonna just take my 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.560 lather and keep it moving and get the next check. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.079 What depends to don't say that it depends. I mean 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:10.679 I think through what I've been through it all. I mean, 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.480 you shouldn't have to take the you shouldn't have to No, no, no. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:21.600 Speaking about my sister, we're speaking about it. She used 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.760 to call it everything. She used to call me like 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.679 four or five in the morning like him, you know 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.240 whatstand these motherfucker's And I'd be like, sweet is you 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.200 just can't punch them in the face, Like the industry. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.880 I just wanted him to play the record, like, what's 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.680 this problem? I need two minutes? I gottn't understand. Now, 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.160 let me ask you all the question and especially people 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.959 who record promoters? Right, um, now, when you're working the 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.960 record and you're going hard, how hard is that to like? 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.800 Is it easier when the artists established, or it's easier 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.800 when the artist is brand new? When when the artist 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.760 is established is easier? Like you remember, like you know, 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.839 No Read didn't know. There was a time me and 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.840 Nordy was in the strip club, you know, you know, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.959 pause and I was working his record, you know, maybe 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:12.080 like what the and then he seen me in the 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.760 booth like stressing and beefing with the DJ because DJ 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.000 is bugging out. Norrie been in the building an hour 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.240 and a half, two hours and he's still haven't dropped 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.960 the Nory record. And then I'm like, yo, famire, you bugging, 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.280 Like what are you doing? They're like, you know, I 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.680 got you chill, chill. And then next thing, you know, 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.960 it's the Nory set and I'm like yo. And then 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.760 at that time, nor we got his jacket. He ready 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.880 to go, so I'm like yo, and No was like Yo, 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.960 what happened. I'm like, no, we're good, don't worry about it. 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.360 And he hit his record. But it's cool. I'm out now, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.000 you know, I mean, thank you shampoo. We gotta go, 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:40.920 you know. I mean so a lot of a lot 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.240 of the problems that the artists don't realize that where 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.400 these djsy you think they started and I don't want to. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.720 I don't want to box yeah, and got egos and 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.000 they don't want to. They don't want to be They 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.680 don't want you to tell him you'll play this now, 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.920 they're like, what we'll tell you, don't tell me really 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.960 acts go over there. Let me let me stop both 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:08.080 a promoter. Yeah yeah, as a DJ talking to Crazy 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.840 Hill promotions, I'm talking right, So as a DJ, is 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.800 that annoying? Like when the label wrap comes. Imagine, first 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.480 of all, I come from the era with the DJ. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.960 You're right, we whatever we played, you're you're the people 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.400 in the club, they followed you. You don't have to hope, 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.800 you don't have to play what they wanted, what you played. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.800 They were like, whatever you say, you're the man, so 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.280 for someone to come up to you. And after I 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.680 stopped really actively spending like that, that's when the promotion 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.520 game got a little bit more heavy in the booth 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.920 where they ask you play this record, play this record, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.960 and now do you feel obligated because I suppose no 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:42.480 but what I'm trying to tell you is imagine if 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.280 you got to set, if your really cares about your craft, 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.320 and you got a set ready for the night, and 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.280 someone said play this record right now, you know, But 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.920 to be fair, it's not. Sometimes we give you a call, 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.800 and that's where relationships come into play. You call the 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.920 person before you can you get this in your set, 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.360 you know? And then and then sometimes people you know, 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:12.280 Payola's real, like I've been in the pub when that 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.440 was I mean to cut your wisdom. God bless Big Cap. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.520 That's how you know. Me and Big Cat became crazy 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.880 close because when he used to be in the strip 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.200 clubs and and DJ and I used to go to 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.400 Big Cam like Cap, I got someone so in the 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.600 building his fifty I need the movie Daddy, And then 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:35.160 he'd be like big shout shampool woman. Then and Big 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.320 Cat was one of the realist DJs, and he'll bring 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.040 it back and be like, bring the artist here and 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.000 give the artist the mic, the artist the mic, and 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.760 he's gonna win. In Now, my job is fantastic. I'm 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:48.640 looking great and everybody and it's not like regular payol 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.280 like radio, because that's one one quitter hitter right down 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.440 the club. But you're doing a subsidy for the DJ. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.800 You're helping the DJ. He's gonna help you out win 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.680 for everybody. And then the other the bad and then 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:00.600 the other thing is it's a horrible and the other 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.240 you gotta have something some kind of But a lot 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:04.960 of things that a lot of the one one thing 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.960 is that a lot of time DJ's miss records because 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.399 they got so many records, they don't hear everything. So 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.160 our job is to tell you your fami, this is hot, 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.119 you need to funk with it, and then you you 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.360 tell them you know you got it. They'd be like, nah, 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.600 I be like, you don't got this. This ship is crazy. 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.280 Everyone's playing. They were like, I never heard it. Then 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.520 they played, then they said the reaction they'd be like, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.280 I feel like I feel like that. That was what 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.760 happened when Younger Maid's record. I felt like you only 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.439 age record was out, but people was kind of sleeping 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.399 on it because it was like it was like a 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.160 version of Bobby Schmurder. So people were like they kind 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.960 of slept on it for so long. Did you work 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.560 that record? No? None at all, But did you see no? 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:49.880 But you know, no no, no, the record. What's happening 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.600 now is before DJs used to follow other DJs, like 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:56.520 everybody following flex right, that was gone. What's happening now 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.880 is the DJs an't even following DJs. They following the internet. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.720 Yea if they see the soundclouds popping and and they're 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.119 following the listeners, which is kind of reverse makes sense, 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.280 but it doesn't. At the same time, the DJ don't 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.920 leave the crowd. No they're not. They're not tastemakers no more. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.399 And they're not taking chances. They're scared. Like they're scared. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:19.400 Back in the days, they used to be the ship 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.520 when the DJ be like, yo, this artist, nobody knows 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.919 this is hot. Let me chicken, chicken if you this 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.240 is so and so this ship is and then everybody 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.680 would be like, this is what it sounds like, Latin colder, 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:39.200 this is so right there. But that's why doesn't trust 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.119 the DJ no more. They lost to trust of the 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:43.399 But it goes to the point where the fan the 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.919 DJ has to start has to trust the record promoter. 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.080 See I told my DJs all time, if you're not 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.200 gonna make a movie, for example, T Grizzly, I'm sitting 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:53.919 here telling them this work is going to be the 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:59.520 next he talking about He and Jail and on My Downfall. 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.879 Yeahhen I first got this record. By the way, I 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.399 had a record call First Day Home Album two thousand 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.919 and one. I just wanted to throw that out there continuous. 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.160 I say that, I say that like the record though 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:13.960 I like him, right, I say that to say this 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.160 that I was telling my DJ, is this type of record. 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:17.680 If you're not going if you're going to be a 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.880 press play DJ, which means that you're gonna press play, 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:21.720 you're gonna turn around and go get a drink, or 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.120 you're gonna turn around and talk to the bitch next 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.240 to you. So you're talking to that kind of DJ. 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.240 I'm talking to every kind of DJ because there has 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.920 to be a balance between the promoter and the DJ. 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.520 There isn't.
