WEBVTT - Conversations About West Coast Hip Hop 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.360 Watch up and welcome back to another episode and No 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.480 Sinners podcast with your host not funk that with your 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:21.239 low glasses Malone. Question, why do you guys think it's 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.080 so difficult for l A artists to come up, like 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.040 really come up and blow up in the game, not 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.800 just the local street hood fame, like really take it 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.480 there and take it there, you know, um versus all 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.040 these Atlanta artists, Like look at Glow like that's somebody 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:38.920 who made a song and I'm talking about up there 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.599 now already you feel me and versus it's some females 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.519 that I didn't see him. Ben, I'm talking about grinding 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.320 for this ship out the city like you feel me. 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.200 And it's so many l A artists that I feel 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.200 like that's already up there mainstream like game snoop whoever 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.480 you feel me? I feel like they got enough their 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.520 their name is big enough and their pockets big enough 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.240 to help one of these artists out or some of 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.560 these artists out. They really get them there instead of 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.240 signing them and not doing ship well when you feel 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:12.800 me like mm hmm. So that that's like a that's 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:17.720 a multi faceted question because Glow has a song like this, 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.120 business is all built on one record, right, fun Nigga 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.800 Free is a fantastic record. So that's not a common 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:26.600 thing that you hear all the time. You don't hear 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.119 Nigga's was really good records all the time. Um, that's 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.360 her best record. And she got other stuff I like, 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:38.679 but that's her best record. Um. I mean Snoop. Snoop 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.120 gave us the east Side as he tried dogies Angels, 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:47.200 he tried badass. Um, he tried what's the kid from 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.160 North Long Beach job? You know, he took his shot 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.480 with about five or six different people. Some of it 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.120 worked out, some of it didn't. I mean that's the business, 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.880 Chuck is just Game is different. I don't think Game 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.960 really cared about being executive. You have to be into that, like, 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:07.440 um so real. I feel like the only one from 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.400 this like California ship that really didn't took some artists 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.519 and grew some artists. I really gotta say, it's e 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.760 forty like I'm talking about some current ship right now, 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.680 Like what's his name, Nesta Ferroll. It's funny is if 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.519 you go up to the bank pas like need is 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.720 more so know who they are versus if you but 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.520 if you go up to the Bay. People really don't 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.639 think forty did right by the artists, Like a lot 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.080 of young artists really shout out to my God. But 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.920 he took a lot of criticism for that. People feel 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.639 like him or short hasn't did as much for artists. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.720 But the reality is being the executive is a talent 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.960 on its own, you know. I mean, you gotta have 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.000 a vision for it. Like remember Snoop didn't break Snoop, 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:51.440 that was Shoog Sjug broke Snoop Dre you know, um 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:57.960 dogpaan all that ship. So he had the vision um 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.600 another idea? Why this thing so local? Right? And y'all 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.400 know y'all have been covering West Coast hip hop for 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.880 a while. Mustard is one of the hottest producers of 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.440 hip hop, if not the hottest one. Like his ship 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.680 is going I know personally for sure. He tried to 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.960 sign three to four different people Draco, Rest in Peace, 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:23.480 Blue Bucks. Nobody will sign with him. But is it 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.040 was it? Is it because of the business person of 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.440 it or they just didn't want you know how it 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.480 is you hear some ship and you're like, I don't 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.160 want to do business, or is it just because they 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:40.560 didn't want that same sound. Because Mustard also whatever sound 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:45.640 like that, that's just sounds like winning, Like that's just 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.160 sound like the winner circle. For real, I'm saying, some 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.200 artists don't want to do that. Some artists don't want 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.480 the same ship. So then some artists want to win 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.080 the way they want to win. But that's the point. 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.400 So when you said why people are staying local, your 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.440 records have to go Nash, know, like there's records in 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.480 Atlanta that you that you don't hear about that our 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.360 Atlanta records. So just like we got a lot of 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.120 records that's l A records. They have Atlanta records, but 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.480 the records you hear that come here are the cream 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:17.080 of the crop, best records. So it's like Mustard being 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.200 like one of the best producers in the game, if 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.880 not the best one. Remember he gave Roddy his first 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.040 hit record, right ball, and he gave Tiger Racks. That's 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.440 tiger first hit record as a as a as a 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.520 lead artist outside of deuces um kid In't. He gave 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.000 kid inca smash. He gave Todd dollars on the smash. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:43.080 Heat he passing out smashes, leafing right, um, so you 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.680 gotta ask jeesus and why would they not do the deal? 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.719 I have my belief my belief and with the Blue 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.960 Bucks is sometimes niggas get hot and feel like they 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.600 could do it theirselves. That just ain't it and it's 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.600 not real. This game is built off producers. Hip Hop 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.520 is built off production the producers Death Row works because 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.040 of the vision of Sugar, but the music of Dr 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.800 Dre Ruthless is the vision of Easy. The music of 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.640 Dr Dre No Limit is the vision of Master Pete, 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.480 and the music from Beats by the Pound Bad Boy 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.039 is the vision of Puff and the music from the 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.400 Hit Men Cash Money is the vision of Master p 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.400 and Slams Give Me Bird and Slam and the music 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.839 of Many Fresh. It's built off production. Motown was built 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:35.560 off production. Music is built off production. So you was 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.600 only as gamed as your producer is. So if they're 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.640 not into the art of records, it's a lot of 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.880 little niggas making beats, a lot of them. Man, it's 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.880 cheap to make beats now. You don't even have to 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.640 be into the art of it. You could just somebody 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.560 can still a laptop, you can get it and make beats. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.760 But the niggas who are actually really making records on 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.440 top of records, they are into the art of making 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:03.400 records hit records. And with this, he was in the 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.120 lab every day all that, and that's all you wanted 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:07.800 to do, like that, you know what I'm saying. So 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.640 and that's why his ship sound the way do you know, 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.039 Like he got his own style style. But even him, 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.160 like for as good as he's doing, he needs help. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.440 Like it's certain places where you know, these are all 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.400 substantially young guys. And as much as it seemed like 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.799 it was Dr Dre in the early days of Ruthless Member, 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.720 it's a lot of other guys there that you just 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.760 don't know about. You don't really know what Yellow was doing. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.880 You don't really know what a Laddin was doing, or 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.240 a lot of the other guys was doing. They were 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:41.480 all contributing stuff and that made Dr Dre the producer 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.320 he is as well. Um, hip hop records come from 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.120 producers first. You know, fold Life is the same the 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.400 person who did fold Life of mactin right, that's Ice 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.680 Cue ice Q did his own ship and mctin fold Life, 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.159 Uh Backyard Boogie mactin other hit record. The same person 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.000 who did ll co J I Need Love did that song. 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.720 I never knew that you learned something new every days 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:14.080 with the load put me on. So somebody like Blue Bugs, 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.640 why Draco. Draco had his own movement what I'm saying, 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.160 but I think they both should have signed. I think 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.280 I told Blue Bucks. I told my nigger that funk 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.080 with them when I was talking to them and said, 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.240 Yell should signed him. Y'all should sign with him. You 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:32.800 like Roddy. Roddy did well, but Bawling, I mean Balling 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.000 was huge for it. That's how you can get the 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.160 box right now. The only record you're here from the 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:44.600 last project is Late at Night Muster. That's true. As 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.760 far as why it's harder now, it's less producers. Now. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.240 Back when I was younger, before I was ever wrapping 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.560 and ship, you could go about six producers and get 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.640 a good record. You can go to battle Cat, you 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.480 can go to Dre, you can go to Quick, you 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.760 can go to Wound r g Um, you can go 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.000 to Slip, you can go to fred Wreck and get 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.080 some good ship. You can go to a few guys 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.960 and get dope records. Right now, you're just gonna go 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.880 to Mustard. I think a lot of the producers are 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.640 figuring it out. Shout out to ron Ryn, shout out 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:25.040 to Larry rest in peace. Uh official official Swaye is dope. Um, 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.120 there's some guys figuring it out. But that's a lot 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:31.520 of work to figure it out. I gotta love. They 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.959 won't been around when I first came into business. Day one, 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.199 you know, was we came in together. So it's tough 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.520 because you're only as great as your record. That's why 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.559 it's hard to get out of l A. Your records 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.240 have to take you out of l A. And then 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.920 it's crazier. Today I was talking to my partner and 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:55.559 was telling him, your brand has to be explosive. H 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.280 I mean, like now it's hard for music because it's 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.960 eight thousand and eighty thousand, so coming out every day, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:08.760 being uploaded, right, So your brand has to like push 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.559 you into the atmosphere. Your brand like niggas who wearing dresses, 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.480 who pay their nails, those are the things we're gonna 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.400 talk about as a mask, that's their brand. Like Doug 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.360 for a long time. You know what I'm saying was 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.560 like acting gate, he knew we all thought was gay 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:35.680 and he knew we would say it was gay. Yeah yeah, Joe, 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.600 your brand takes you past the barrier and then your 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.160 music follows you. Um. I was having this conversation, right, 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.080 I'm a lot of people calling me for advice. Right, 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.400 people that's successful, people that's legends, called me for advice. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:50.840 And I was saying, I was like, damn, I was 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.679 diagnosed in myself. Yes, said I'm like, okay, as in 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.320 exactly what would I say it's wrong with glasses? Malone's career. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.400 Once I learned how to make records, it changed, right 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:04.120 that good became my first gold record. Um, but branding 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:08.559 is tough. It's not simple, like what does your brand represent? 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:09.920 Is the reason why when you go to In and 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.520 Out because and you know, they want to say West Coast, 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.000 so they got palm trees on all the locations, red 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.440 and yellow like McDonald's. They want to say clean. So 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.600 everything is white, everybody wearing white. It's a few things. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.319 It's called In and Out because they had the first 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.280 drive through. That's the usp on it that's gonna making unique. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:33.040 So it's it's tough, Like, um, can I say legendary 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.920 heritage acts like Cat Dre and them could do more. Yeah, 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.560 but they don't give a fuck. It's not they don't 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.320 it's not they don't want to. They don't even know 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.559 what to do. Like when I talk to Dre and 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.840 cat now, they don't know what to do. The belief 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.640 is that these niggas know like Snoop, Snoop really to 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:56.000 his mind, he trying his best. But we look at 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.280 them and to us it seems like it's so because 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.080 I was that artist. I remember when he was coming up. 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:05.440 I felt like that. But what I realized is you 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.160 have to go to them with ideas and you have 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.040 to know the right questions to ask, and sometimes they're 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.400 still not gonna do business with you. It just don't 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:19.880 make sense for them. Um. I think some artists are 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.320 doing well. I like what Catlin is doing personally. If 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.839 I was diagnosing it, I would force him like I 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.920 would force him to figure out and develop his sound 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:33.679 more so it's more unique completely. Um yeah, but that's 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.880 the point. Like rock Nation first off. Another thing, I 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.240 would never tell the West Coast artist to ever sign 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.520 to anybody that's not from the West Coast because you 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:48.040 miss a natural when your record company is based in 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.200 l A and they go out and they hear your music, 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.800 Extra budgets get added, more excitement is in the building. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.240 It's a reason why the biggest acts came through in 0:11:56.240 --> 0:12:00.120 the scope. It's a biggest it's a huge red Then 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.880 why the greatest acts came through in the scope to 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:07.839 me priority all West Coast based record labels and distribution. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.079 It's a reason why Deaf Jam fumbled Warren g ship. 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.880 They had a great record member hold up. First off, 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:22.959 no sellings, g L. What's happening? The deal e g. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:28.000 Blue black once again for Warren g Right. So when 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.280 they put out Regulate that came out on the soundtrack, 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.640 most people forgot that. So that death row working in 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:39.760 the soundtrack. They work Regulator blows up, smash deaf Jam, 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.199 get every record from Warren and fuck it up. Mm 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:48.079 hmm why g why should be five times as big 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.720 as he is? My Crazy Life is like one of 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.080 the best projects in the last twelve years. Man, they 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.560 funked it up. It's not on purpose, it's just a 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.080 cultural breakdown. When you're from the West that things we 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.040 appreciate and we really hold in revere to them. They 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.280 was like we just got somebody in the West Coast 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.680 market to end the scope. He would have been the 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:12.040 pride and joy of the building, like the Gang dr Dre, 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:19.559 like death Roy. So I think it's easy to blame 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.559 legendary acts and say, oh man, you know Snoop could 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.120 do more? What the fund is he gonna do? He 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:29.440 can't make a beat, We're gonna ask somebody for a beat. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.280 I mean, he could make a beat, but you don't 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:36.320 want to wrap on Snoop beats like that because jam, 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.680 I'm just she said, you guys need to participate more. 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:48.160 But I'm schooled, so they because so it's all good. Um, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.400 that's the point. Though you feel me like it's rough, 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.480 like because what what? What could really Snoop do more of? 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.640 I mean he trying. I mean I see him. He's 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.880 got his hand in in a couple of like a 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.200 lot of things he's been, but it's you know, I 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:09.960 mean it's more like he's doing stuff for you know, election, Yeah, production, 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.959 like TV, And she's like, that's not in anything. I 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.680 don't see him doing anything for artists. I could be wrong. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.480 I don't know. He just did as death roll, so 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.520 I don't know if he's just did he drop did 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.240 he He didn't drop anything? Though right already sign what's 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.480 his name? I think he got I think he's trying 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.640 to endorse Snoopy to say, I think he's trying to 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.840 endorse Snoopy to some degree. I just don't know to 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:36.240 what marketing wise he's gonna do. So he got somebody, 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.479 so he's signed somebody else too. Yeah, but it's it's 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.360 it's shout out to picket a litter that that's a 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:48.560 really good series by Snoopy. Um So even though Snoop right, 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.440 so the belief is if Snoop stamp you, it's over. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.360 That's just not true. That's why job. But it didn't happen. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.960 Huh Macluci, Yeah, he got Macluci. Now that didn't work out. 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.400 Um So it's multiple things, that's what's wrong with it. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.680 Um we're a lot of the artists are stuck here 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.960 because they're not making records bigger than here. And then 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:14.600 the first thing they do is when they think to 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.640 make a record bigger than here, they go make a 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.120 trap record. But don't nobody want to hear trap music 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.320 from l a nigger. I'd rather listen to Alanna. Trap 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.680 music like going to a white person. That makes soul 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:29.160 fool or nigga trying to make authentic Mexican food. I'm like, bro, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.200 where is the soul twist that like fried my shells? Brother, 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:36.040 don't come out here and try to topose a not 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:42.840 gonna be then I sent my Mexican food is good 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.640 because you like your masking fool, but it's not really 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:50.280 good compared to masking food. Why y'all got to try 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.680 to impede on everybody's ship though. But I'm just saying 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.880 she might make some authentic ship. You don't know have 0:15:55.040 --> 0:16:03.000 you had. She might have something that you don't like you. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:08.160 It's like you with your little study days about That's 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:14.680 how I'm not you know? That was sure giving a 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:25.360 thing again, that's leave it. I did that. It was 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.960 like I beat that day. I know you didn't. I 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:34.800 don't know what the job she liked it. Part of 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.200 that is actually it's a field job, so you have 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:47.160 to feel you touching that the thing, right, hold hold on, 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:53.000 let me just catch everybody else. So Britt attempted to 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.760 be a lesbian for a slide of my time? Is 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.320 that how you would saying politically? I don't know, I 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.040 don't know what you want to say. I had that curious. 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.600 She knocked up on it twice, right, and then somebody, 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.399 the girl she was dating, said that she wanted Britt 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.240 to you. So Britt got behind that thing and that's 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:20.560 what we had. Now. So the thing it was empowering, 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.880 wasn't it. It has like well, the thing she had 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.520 it it kind of like sucked on my click. So 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.000 it was stimulate you too. So it was like we 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.280 both were stimulated. Did you hope? Okay? So did you? 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.280 I mean yeah, you had to hold it at was like, oh, 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:41.960 I was like, yeah, y'all, y'all got some power. Hey, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.080 real ship? That that ship made me feel weird. I'm 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.720 no one woman should have all this power, right, No, 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.320 that ship was weird. Behind that thing spread me you 0:17:51.359 --> 0:18:01.679 ever did strictly tongue but to feel what is your 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.679 lady at one time when you're dating, asked you to 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.480 do that. I wasn't down for. But what if she 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:11.480 would have said, please just just make my day? I 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:15.280 wouldn't I know you to be curious, wouldn't like That's 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.200 why I did it? Because I was curious. I was like, 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.879 what you did? Tell me? It was like it was weird. 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.560 It was weird because you know why it's make a 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:33.560 booty cheese tighten. You don't know what she's doing, like, oh, 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:39.600 she's gonna kill me. Didn't making new to me. Trust me, 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.199 she was embarrassed as she was. She was back there, 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.800 she like, have no idea. She didn't tell me. I've 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:49.639 been not telling nobody. Yeah, you ain't told nobody, But 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.680 you ain't told nobody but the twenty five People podcast. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.399 Nobody I told you. Okay, he is behind that thing, 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.600 but no, So that's that's what it is me. I think, 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.400 um and and I know you know this because you 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.840 you at the time was dealing with dass and different 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.680 homies and ship so you know how it is. But 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.960 the belief is that they could do more than they do, 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.760 and the reality is they actually did more than they 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.280 can do. See, sometimes we look at these people like 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:22.360 they're the reason they're successful, even like dash DA's my look, 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:27.200 sholot nigger Dad's ain't fucking put out dads Dealinger. I mean, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.280 you know what you know that somebody told me. I'nna real, 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.240 they say, I mean, I don't feel like it's just expectful. 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:33.879 It was just something somebody was saying. They was like 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.520 snoop still is working ship you feel me. He's still 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:41.800 getting booked for ship, commercials, liquors, all common ship like that. 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.399 So he's still working a job. He's like, not the 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.800 business side of it, he's still getting hired for ship. 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.480 You feel me. So, I mean, I don't know, but 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.359 I looked at it in my mind because I was 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.080 somebody at one point of time and I was dealing 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.200 with you feel me. So I love Snoop to death 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.399 did more. But I definitely do feel he could have 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.400 did more because in my mental always that's a mega 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.000 superstar who turned down the sloop call, so we needed 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.000 to be a studio session, whatever it was. You definitely 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.440 could have made that happen. But my I don't want 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.960 to expose my no, no, and that's not what we're doing. 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:15.840 I'm gonna stop you right there, but I'm gonna say 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.000 this to you that nigga ain't had to call nobody 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.440 to do ship if they're already it's fucking Snoop. It 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.720 was literally you put up you feel me and so 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.720 so so when you so when we look at somebody 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.639 like Dog, we all went through the same thing. We 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.320 Dog is Mickey Mouse. Because let's beyond this Nigga's Mickey Mouse. 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:37.040 This nigga literally is probably the top five famous motherfuckers 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.600 in the world. It's only like Jesus and Mickey Mouse 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.520 is more famous than Cause no if you really think 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.560 about Snoop, Cause this motherfucker Cause is huge. And sometimes 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.320 we forget because he a crip and he from around 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.720 the way. But this nigga ain't like nothing we ever seen. 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:55.560 But the problem is when you be a mega superstar, 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.000 you he ain't really had to do nothing but keep trying. 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:04.960 Snoop is really somebody. I think I wouldn't even consider 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:07.960 him super savvy in the record business. Now he could 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.560 cuts me off of this. But that nigga is blessed 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.919 with this sense of wisdom. Comes like a nigger that's 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.480 a hundred and seventy. I think it's like one of 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.680 the wisest niggas. I know how to talk how it's 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:22.160 all wisdom and it's all discernment. He's blessed by God, 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.840 that nigga is. I had this big debate with the 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.840 honey we're talking about the whole tupact Snooper. He was 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.280 telling me Tupac with Snoop, and it was jealous a 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:34.480 Tupocket and I hear that at Loss their times, Snoop 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.239 was jealous man that nigga was signed the Death Row 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.080 seven months he had put out a record. They've been 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:43.000 out seven months, the first thing who had Snoop on 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:46.280 the motherfucker. They did a concert in July, two months 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:48.760 for the Nigga Die. He was open enough for Snoop. 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:52.840 When what time B two be jealous? Snoop is the 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.359 pinnacle of the game. He is the pinnacle. But the 0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:00.040 problem is he didn't have to. All Snoop had to 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.720 do was keep his nose clean and persevere. He was 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:08.320 set in the right direction God Shugg and Dr fucking Dre. 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:11.600 All he had to do was don't fucking up. And 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:14.879 that's the thing he has. His wisdom is years and 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:19.120 years beyond most motherfucker's that I ever talked to. His smoothness, 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:21.639 you know what I mean, the way operators really really 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:23.760 like a nigger that has been on the earth more 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.720 than once. But it's different when you actually gotta break 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:33.200 somebody that ain't now that ain't that's different. You better 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:35.560 know what the fuck you gotta remember. Death Row was 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:41.040 Sugar Knike's third project label. He had multiple labels before 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:46.240 that label. He got it right the third time. Niggas 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:50.800 don't so Snoop, it's differ. It's well, it's not that 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:54.200 he's been Snoop Dogg like. It's it's like he did 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:55.960 his deal with East Sides right, that was at tv T, 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:59.680 so t v T did the marketing. Snoop just had 0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.439 to be Snoop and do what he do with fire right. 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:04.560 He had to do this ship with the records, you 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:05.960 know what I'm saying that and put his twists. But 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:09.080 Cat was there at that time. Battle Cat was right there, 0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:12.320 so all trade d and Goldie had dudes beat himselfs 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.280 Snoop came in there what he did, and Cat handled 0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:18.160 the rest and tv T market at the motherfucker's So 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:21.040 that's easy. Snoop has been trying to do it the 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.639 same way the whole time, with you or with anybody else. 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.320 It's just there is not a battle Cat right now. 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:29.280 There's no Battle Cat right there. I mean, no disrespect 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:30.880 to Big Bro like Cat is a lot, but I'm 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:34.919 saying Cat in ninety nine is different. Cat probably be now, 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:36.639 but you can't even get him to do ten beats. 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:40.840 It's pulling teeth and ship. What then is you doing? 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:45.560 But there's no tv T to market it? Right, there 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.520 snoop just put out records. He just dropped records like 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:52.639 his Thursday the Empire. Empire don't market records. So the 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:57.360 business part of this ship is unique. It's not it's 0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.560 not as tongue in cheek as it look. It's not 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:02.480 like a niggas he said, like ice cube. Ice Cube 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:05.240 can break anybody. It worked with battle Cat, but it 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.480 didn't work with Short Chop and Short Chop excuse me, 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:09.000 at work with mac Tin, but it didn't work with 0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:11.760 Short Chop. It didn't work as well with Caution. It 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.320 didn't work as well with Yo Yo, but it worked 0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:20.000 with the West Side Connection. Huh, Short Chop, super dope nigga. 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.120 When I was young and this nigga was so hard 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.720 for me. What this nigga was hard as a motherfucker. 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:30.560 But it's different to make the cam he had cam. Yeah, yeah, 0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:35.320 it's not easy. It's it seems easier and it's easy 0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.679 to say all this person could have did this. What 0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:40.960 I always tell niggas, I helped the l A. Johns 0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:42.879 right now, they're not signed to me. I helped to 0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.720 market this ship. And I market for him. She said, 0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:47.680 man glasses, if we were to do a deal with Snoop, 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.080 you know, with the work, I said, it would work 0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.000 if I wrote a list of things that you need. 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:53.520 And if I wrote a list of things you need, 0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:59.320 this nigga probably ain't gonna do the deal because because 0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:02.399 I know exactly what has to happen, because I have 0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.399 been working my own ship for so long that I 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:07.760 study what needs to happen to the study success. I 0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:14.720 had enough conversations. So it's tough. Atlanta got the good 0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:19.080 producers about full five of the motherfucker's for five of 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:22.080 the motherfucker's they all making joints what I'm saying, So, 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:24.600 do you think it has something to do it? Like radio? 0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:27.320 Though too, not at all, Like no, not not at all. 0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:29.639 Radio need to play new music. You just gotta have 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:34.320 good records. Never forget that. I think it's crazy because 0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:36.320 I'm gonna say a little bit right now, you feel me. 0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:40.040 I think it's a little bit easier to kind of 0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:42.800 like pave you away and make your name like as 0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:46.920 far as we got no jumper right now, they's another thing. 0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:50.520 Feel me. Gene on there they're giving TI like charisma 0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:53.240 she shall love you feel me? I don't. I'm I'm 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.800 gonna just say on my end like she she hella 0:25:55.840 --> 0:26:00.480 should Yeah, but I think it's a tiny bit easier. 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.760 But I feel like as if it's going like now 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:04.800 I want to deal you feel me? That's where you 0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:07.240 get a little but I mean you can make your 0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.040 name though. I definitely feel like you could make your 0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:11.320 name and Nigga is gonna let it be known. Who 0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:13.199 what do you feel it was the hardest part for you? 0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:14.679 Where do you feel you ran into? You? Was like 0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:16.919 this ship right here is my block, my barrier to 0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:22.600 take the next step. Um, I'm gonna be real. I 0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:25.800 feel like I didn't know the game at all, Like 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:29.640 this is literally like I'm a woman, a jet I mean, 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:33.200 what the jel all trades? You feel me? Anything I do, 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:36.359 I could fucking master it. I literally picked up a 0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:39.760 pencil one day and the person I was dealing with 0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:41.480 at the time r I P speed do you feel me? 0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:43.760 Got a shout out? But the person I was dealing 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:46.800 with at the time, he was a rapper, and he like, 0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:49.440 let's hop on his beat, and I'm like, I don't 0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:51.919 want to rap. He like, but your voice like and 0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:53.879 you just be saying, sh just talking to you. You 0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:55.919 feel me, try to put that ship in the musical 0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.320 for him? You feel me. I turned around. He ended 0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:00.840 up getting killed. In the midst of that, I'm like, man, 0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:02.800 I'm gonna still do this whole song by myself that 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:06.080 d J muster vato. Bet I killed it. Like I 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.600 just did it. But I didn't know nothing about music, 0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:10.719 Like I wasn't the kid with microphone. Let me do 0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:12.800 this and do that. I've always been more of a 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:16.760 personality type of person, you know. But I literally picked 0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:18.360 that ship up and this is how fast it went. 0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:21.520 Dropped the song on a Saturday. Sunday, I got hit 0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:24.919 up to come to a radio interview for Monday. I 0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:26.800 was there at the radio interview, Hey could you come 0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:30.280 do this show tomorrow and talk on Tuesday. I'm like, hell, yeah, 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.800 fuck it, I'm there. You feel me? Literally, it just 0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:35.000 went like that. From the freestyle video to being in 0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:36.960 the booth, this was all like in a matter of 0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:40.160 a week. You feel me. So I'm like, I didn't 0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:43.320 know nothing about it at all. I don't know ship. 0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:47.359 Snoop discovered me and like my first eight months, you 0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:50.600 feel me? And he was working with me tough. That 0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:52.439 kind of threw me off a little bit too, Like 0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:54.520 I was I was ready. You feel me like I 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.080 don't know much about it, but we're gonna figure it out. 0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:01.040 Like I don't know over what I gotta learn, but 0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.520 this sloop dog you feel me like lucky. There's somebody 0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:05.280 I've been looking up to gem and too for my 0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:08.560 my whole damn like fuck it. But I was just 0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.359 put on a pause like don't drop nothing, like I 0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.240 don't want you to feel me. And I'm just like huh. 0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.359 So it kind of like paused my spot light and 0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:19.240 I'm like, what we're doing, what we're doing, what we're doing, 0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.679 and that's what Just like after that, I felt like 0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:25.600 I wasn't considered, like I started figuring out other ship 0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:27.879 for myself in between and what else? Am I good at? 0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:29.640 You feel me? I can't drop this music right now, 0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:32.680 I'm listening to the head HUNCHO. Let me just figure 0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:35.600 out other ship in between here. And it just caused 0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:38.880 the distraction and feel me and I wasn't focused on anymore. 0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:42.360 So when it was like time to get focused, I'm like, right, 0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.920 blocking ship. My mind ain't on music no more. You 0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.280 feel me. So it's like every once in a while, 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:50.680 I'll exercise my little talented ship. Now you feel me, 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:52.360 and I'll be like, I do want to get back 0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:54.560 into the game, but I'll just be like, it's so 0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:56.280 much ship going on. I don't want to use that 0:28:56.360 --> 0:29:00.440 as an excuse because we all got real nigga, but 0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:03.600 I'm like, it is a part of my ship. Like 0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:05.800 I'm like, damn, I don't have nobody. I could just 0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:08.080 hit up and be like, hey, could I use you 0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:11.360 feel me your studio? Like I don't, well, you know 0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:13.400 what you did? Tell me that at a time that 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:23.600 I hit me something now definitely did. But a lot 0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:25.240 of I feel like a lot of these niggas they'd 0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:29.160 be having teams like it's always been me. I don't 0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:31.480 have a nigga that funk with me, Like, let's I 0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:33.720 believe in. Let's get these beats. You got the talent, 0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:35.840 I got the beats, and we can make some ship happen. 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:38.160 Like I'm gonna stand behind you the whole way. It's like, 0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:40.440 can I get in the studio session with you here? 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:42.240 Can we get a beat and whoo whoop? And I 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:44.360 feel like it's always a little different from women to like, 0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:46.760 we have it hard. Either somebody want are they trying 0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:48.320 to charge from top dollar for you feel me? Or 0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:52.720 they want the net you feel but that actually I agree, 0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:58.160 but you also also if you held it correctly, it 0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:01.720 could be to your benefit. But I do agree that 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:03.160 that's rough. I want to throw it back for no 0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:11.880 beat though I'm not definitely can't throw it back. What 0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:24.440 about Mustard telling him back for the right. Okay, so 0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:27.880 you're smart, so at least you're smart. Okay, No, but 0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:33.760 it's it's easy, it's easy to it seems a little 0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:38.560 easier than it. It's simple, but it's not easy. Um, 0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:41.480 even for dog Dog is a superstar. He could do anything, 0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:45.560 but he don't do anything like that's not what people 0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:49.400 bring shipped to him. So that's why I like a 0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:52.080 person that fun with Snoop today. Right, if you Snoop, 0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:55.440 your your manager got to be super gamed up because 0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.160 he got to work the whole scene. That's not what 0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:01.320 Snoop does. Snoop is Snoop. Snoop is being Snoop Dogg 0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:04.440 at the four Time Drive. I mean, and people like 0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:10.760 he didn't really build something like with that mentality. You 0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:13.120 know what I'm saying like dog is just dog, and 0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:15.680 I genuinely think he means well most of the time. 0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.800 But I just think sometimes we look at him again 0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:20.840 like this, like for real, like this nigga is a 0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:23.760 top five famious people in the world, and you'll be like, man, 0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:26.560 this nigga could be doing this and it's like, no, 0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:29.800 that ain't what he does. Um. I think it's like 0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:32.480 she said, it's about a team, like real talking, it's 0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:36.239 always about the team. Like when as the cousins just 0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:39.040 doing our ship, Like once we got our team and 0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:42.120 that and we started doing certain ship, it helped a lot. 0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:44.600 When it's just you and you're making all these moves 0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.160 and you got, like she said, real nigga ship going 0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.400 on bills and ship like that. Gotta work and do X, 0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.440 Y and Z, and you you only can put in 0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:55.000 like a couple of hours ceo craft or whatever whatever 0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:57.640 the case may be, Like it's harder, but when you 0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.720 have that team, it helps. I really feel that I 0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:04.760 really do believe in you, and that's something that I 0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:08.360 actually I'm like now, I feel like right now I 0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.760 got a couple of people around me. That's you feel 0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:14.640 me connected and respected, You feel me and I feel 0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:18.360 like if I was to go into it again, like 0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:20.440 it could really be a beautiful thing this time. You 0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:22.320 feel me. It was beautiful last time it really was 0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:26.960 so like you feel me. But I'm just like, damn, 0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:30.560 but I definitely would. I recently did just have somebody 0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:32.520 talking to me about like, how would you feel like 0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:34.600 if I popped that out something about you being the 0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:37.200 first lady of a death row now like you feel me? 0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:39.560 And they're like, what you funk with him? Again? I'm 0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:41.200 like I would because I definitely feel like I'm in 0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:43.880 a different mental space. I'm, you know, a lot more 0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:46.200 educated than what I was back then. You feel me, 0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:49.040 Like I said, I got people that's around that's respected 0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:52.000 and connected like to where it could move a lot 0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:54.120 more than what it did last time. You feel me. 0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:58.480 So some situations is great with the manager. In some 0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:01.520 situations is great without a man manager. Um, And it 0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:04.000 depends on the manager like dog like I said to 0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:06.240 me with Snoop, Like that's the catch with Snoop, Snoop, 0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:08.840 you just gotta have to write people around. That's gonna 0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:12.800 work between them spaces because Snoop is Snoop DOGG. But 0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:15.640 I do think Snoop is very viable in this business 0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:19.040 right now. Currently he's one of the best launchpads you 0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:23.240 can have in this business. But you if you think 0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:26.920 to yourself that he understands how to do it, he's 0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:29.720 not a He don't market. That's not his job. He's 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:32.560 not a market He's Snoop. It's Snoop marketing is Snoop 0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.640 talk about it. He mar help marketing Instagram. He talked 0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:38.840 about it and his own Instagram. So some things it 0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:41.560 works out. The product has to be correct for it 0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:46.040 to work. Like, the product has to be correct. A 0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:48.480 lot of niggas really feel like they lack exposure a shot. 0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:50.280 The reality is they don't even have a stick. They 0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:53.479 don't have an idea, they don't have nothing. They just 0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:55.840 really just can wrap or they think they could wrap on. 0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:57.520 They're like, if people heard me to be different or 0:33:57.520 --> 0:33:59.480 Snoop said I was good, it's good, it's not. It's 0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:05.880 way way, way more complex than that. Um, if you 0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:10.279 had to, if you had to Blue Bucks, they they 0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:13.080 figured it out. But I just think being with Mustard 0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:15.800 makes things a thousand times easier. Plus it would have 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:20.680 put them with Interscope Capital is sometimes I like them, 0:34:20.680 --> 0:34:23.040 I know them but they's sometimes they and they're not 0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:26.600 great with urban content, not great with black shit. So 0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:30.920 but if you was at Mustard, you'd be within the scope. Um. 0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:32.719 I think why he tries to sign people and put 0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:37.080 some people out. Yeah he got he tried yeah D 0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:45.240 three he had slam. Um yeah he got a few people. 0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:52.879 Um TC, No, we got TC. Now I know Ty 0:34:53.000 --> 0:35:01.320 had TC. Ty had TC Mustard with TC or something 0:35:01.360 --> 0:35:07.279 like that. Yeah. I just I just think. I just 0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:12.360 think specifically the pushes together, it was really special pushes 0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:18.879 a part of different and and that's it. Literally that movement. Yeah, 0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:22.879 that movement, that movement um at the table because it's 0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:28.200 like stuff no work. Um. That movement is what you 0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:32.120 needed to skyrocket past the death Row threshold because before 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:33.920 like none of us could get past and make it 0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:37.080 crack because ship death Row was like if you didn't 0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:39.160 come from the n w A family tree, that was it. 0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:42.840 Why he is the first person I've seen really blast 0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:44.200 off that had nothing to do with the n w 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:48.120 A family tree. And that's because the Pushing movement became 0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:52.120 the youthful full movement of West Coast kids. They took 0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:54.839 the embodiment of what jerking was and brought in an 0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:57.719 element of fun and function that that really reminded you 0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.840 of that time period and it about for them and 0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:02.960 you got tied from it, mustard from it, and you 0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:10.719 got from so I think, Um, what makes it tough 0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:13.200 for us to make it is one is a lack 0:36:13.280 --> 0:36:15.560 of producers. I mean, don't get me wrong, this Nick 0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:17.160 is working on hit Boy is doing a lot of 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.520 good ship. But you know her boy is doing what 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:23.640 he's doing too. Um, but the producers have to get 0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:27.040 a lot more serious into making records, not just beats. 0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:37.760 That's one thing. Um. Secondly, Huh, this is tough because 0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:43.400 I think we're just in a different time, Like, um, 0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:45.240 who was the last person that blew up from Atlanta? 0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:52.399 The last person? That's what they feel like. But who 0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:57.640 was the last person that blew up from Atlanta? Ship? 0:36:57.719 --> 0:37:00.680 Who's going on right now? From what was a little baby? 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:04.160 When see how dry get real quick? I don't know? 0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:08.200 So and like little baby right, little baby signed to 0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:10.880 probably I mean ship they he signed to the same 0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:15.879 Niggs that blew up to me? Goes yeah, I mean 0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:17.880 he don't know what they're like them, they don't know 0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:20.399 what they're doing. They're tough it's a great regular label. 0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:23.520 Um we got Nick is doing a good TV. He 0:37:23.600 --> 0:37:27.920 does well. Um they push what four or five platinum 0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:32.840 ortis from that little ship other label? Would you say 0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:35.680 ship to me? Fow on the summers? You fall on 0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:37.480 the summers. Gay, you must have records and they gat 0:37:37.520 --> 0:37:43.280 you ever made? Yeah, everybody else trying to start. Another 0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.720 thing is everybody else is trying to start a record label. 0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:48.759 That's another thing. It's a bunch of people who have 0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:51.359 no experience that starting the regul label, starting a regular label. 0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:54.959 So Draco started a record label right with the Stick Team. 0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:58.600 That was his first that was his experiment, right. They 0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:02.239 was figuring it out, you know, life life. He got 0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:05.120 about this life early, right, so now you gotta still 0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:08.040 figure it out. Memory. Blue Bucks got their own movement, 0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:11.800 that's what capital. So you're also starting brand new businesses. 0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:13.880 So you're not only a brand new record label, you're 0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:17.640 starting brand new businesses. Prime example, when Death Rows started, 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:20.520 they were a brand new business, right. Dr Dre was 0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:26.640 an established act as a producer and as a so 0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:29.480 they came with something that was already established. Blue Bugs 0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:34.000 has a brand new record label, the brand new group problems. 0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:36.040 It's like trying to make a new burger at a 0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:39.080 new burger stand. Hi, bro, just make ground beech Burgers. 0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:45.880 Bro being say they have a great business model, but 0:38:45.920 --> 0:38:49.279 she said, why is it not exploding out of California? 0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:52.840 The problem is you have to You literally are building 0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:58.040 a brand new business with a brand new act. Take 0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:04.759 years years. It's the reason why they didn't come out 0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:07.799 with Snoop Dogg album first. It came out with Dr 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:12.160 Dre's album first. From n w A, you know what 0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:17.680 I mean? So so movements like groups of people. You know, now, 0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:20.400 if Blue Bucks was like seven niggas, it happened faster, 0:39:20.719 --> 0:39:24.200 prime example, Big Glow Right. Part of her success that 0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:27.840 nobody talks about is her movement of girls. If it 0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:31.200 was just her would work, like now she could start 0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:34.319 doing stuff with just her. But when you first saw them, 0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:39.000 it was altogether. Imagine if it was hurt just screaming 0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:42.160 let's go. She looked retarded running round them cars and 0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:50.440 give me that. And she she's smart. She don't use 0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:52.839 her entourage like an entourage. She's not hiding the light 0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:57.719 from them. See a lot of people like how many 0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:00.400 people do we know from the clan g easy and 0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:04.840 you know right. But if it was eight niggas with them, 0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:07.360 and it was always eight niggas, then that's a movement. 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:12.359 If it's two niggas, it's short. And I'm saying, you're sure, 0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:15.359 that's why. That's why it works better when it's multiple people, 0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:17.480 because it's like, if it's seven niggas to be like 0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:20.840 it's the ship, it took like what nine niggas to 0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:23.200 breaks that nine and with wu tangs like nine niggas. 0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:29.640 I mean, so it's a few things. Um, it's it's 0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:33.000 a few changes most people can make and really go 0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:36.080 to another step. But when I was thinking about myself, 0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:37.440 I was like, damn, what would I do as an 0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:40.880 exact for glasses? My problem is my brand, right is 0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:43.520 is people don't know why they call me glasses. That's 0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:46.480 such a simple thing to fix. But I would have 0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:50.000 never thought about that as a business never in my life. 0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:53.600 The cousins, you have to figure out, why, what the 0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:56.880 funk do I need you in my life? For what 0:40:56.880 --> 0:41:00.799 I'm saying, business is unique. McDonald's got on because they 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:03.480 created fast food. It wasn't the first person that burgers 0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:06.279 and fries that was white castles. McDonald's figured out how 0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:11.839 to give your ship in like ninety seconds fresh. That's 0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:16.280 what mag niggas go there, niggas. It's a thousand rappers 0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:20.160 every day, thousand rappers every fucking day. I mean, why 0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:23.799 are they fucking with you? Glow? I know what I'm 0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:27.840 gonna get from Big Glow. I mean, this motherfucking look crazy. 0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:30.000 This mother fuck be on the biggest last. The last 0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:36.719 is bigger than her. Fun with it though, so um, 0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.719 the Western isn is in a quality position. You know 0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:42.799 that they's We're not as fucked up as New York. 0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:45.520 New York is in a bad place because they're trying 0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:48.800 to take Chicago drill and they're saying it's not Chicago, 0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:51.520 it's UK drill. But the reality is you're trying to 0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:54.759 take a culture that don't naturally fit. At least, we're 0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:58.399 not that far off. They're in a weird spot. Their 0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:00.440 motherfucker's just trying to make some ship work that ain't 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:03.920 gonna work. We're trying to make our ship work, but 0:42:03.960 --> 0:42:07.479 we have to develop it. I think also, people don't 0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:10.600 really understand I don't know, I wouldn't say understand our 0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:13.800 culture over here, but they just really don't. It's different 0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:16.520 for us, like you know, we got the palm trees 0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:20.239 and we got you feel me. But they don't understand 0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:22.360 it though less you come and you see and like 0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:25.520 experience that ship that the hip hop ain't good. That's 0:42:25.600 --> 0:42:28.279 you gotta get better. Trust me, snooping them at the 0:42:28.400 --> 0:42:30.120 same palm tree and then everybody wants to come to 0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:33.680 this motherfucker. Let me said, you got to get better 0:42:33.719 --> 0:42:36.839 at displaying the culture. I was looking at the video 0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:40.440 Blast did for the song, example, l Um, what was 0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:44.960 the last song um? The one with Um where he's 0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:46.920 out in the desert in the car. No, they by 0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:50.080 the beach. They rolled a by the beach in the cars. 0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:53.600 The Blast song, they rolling by the beach and they 0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:57.239 had this mansion. The song is tough, but the whole 0:42:57.320 --> 0:43:02.120 video lacks culture. M lot of times too rappers moved 0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:05.520 too fast and go right to every good girl, every 0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:10.040 good girl. Many That video is like a it's like 0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:12.800 a Lamborghini. He got this girl, this light skinned girl, 0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:16.160 and they had this mansion. It's like that ship lacks culture. 0:43:16.480 --> 0:43:18.920 Remember this nigga got on because he was standing in 0:43:18.920 --> 0:43:20.719 the suff front yard with some girl watching the Grand 0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:24.840 National with Nigga shooting nice on the porch. See, we 0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:28.160 abandoned culture too fast too. We immediately go into trying 0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:29.960 to sell wealth. Oh, I want to sell everybody. I 0:43:30.040 --> 0:43:35.680 got money, nigga. Nobody buys money m niggas by poor 0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:40.680 niggas getting money cash money only looked tight when they 0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:44.000 look poor with money. It's different when you see a 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.200 nigger jumping out of Lamborghini with your bow jeans on 0:43:46.280 --> 0:43:48.720 a blue box and a white T shirt and gold teeth. 0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:52.319 It's just you know, I mean, that's polarizing. Who is 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:54.040 this That's like me? I should jump out of my 0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:56.400 billing with my diggie sag and ship jumped into like 0:43:57.040 --> 0:44:02.080 this nigga? Who is that nigga on that naw Samuel 0:44:02.239 --> 0:44:03.719 Jackson that's out of crack. Used to look at me 0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:08.600 that to go to Beverly Hills? Is that cracking? Like that? 0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:11.759 He just slammed the door. It's the park that ship 0:44:11.840 --> 0:44:17.560 on my grass. So I think we abandoned the culture right. 0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:20.600 Another thing too with a lot of the young talent 0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:23.799 is they don't embrace what the West is. They want 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:26.759 to embrace what they want the West to be. I 0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:29.880 want the West to be about fashion. Man. Them niggas 0:44:29.880 --> 0:44:32.040 in Atlanta. That's fun with that fashion is not getting 0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:34.400 ship out of none in the market. Them niggas is 0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:36.520 taking that ship right off the gay people back down there. 0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:40.200 They have a whole urban gay culture right in the 0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:42.680 line of shmack there them niggas, gay and gay people 0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:45.840 funk with that fashion. Them niggas something of my office 0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:48.600 thug and then was wearing literally it was a gay 0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:54.360 man on a cover magazines wearing that outfit. Fashion is 0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:57.680 a woman in a homosexual sport. I'm not saying something 0:44:57.719 --> 0:44:59.320 straight man can't be into it. I'm just saying you 0:44:59.440 --> 0:45:01.719 gotta really be another kind of free to funk with it. 0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:05.360 It ain't no punk ship. So like for example, like 0:45:05.440 --> 0:45:07.440 if I was talking to Blasts, I would have told Blasts, 0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:11.920 don't drive that Lamborghini. It don't scream nothing, it just 0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:16.080 scream wrap it. Don't scream nothing. Scream something that you're 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:21.040 driving down the street. That's gonna screen l a where 0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:24.080 whatever it is, she get you. They got ship. Man, 0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:26.760 You just gotta get creative. Don't don't be at the mansion. 0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:29.560 You had to mansion. If it's niggas is forty ounces 0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:31.640 on the grass and ship make it nigga fire this 0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:36.680 ship the West Coast is ship. Make this ship what 0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:40.080 it's supposed to be, because if you don't, I can't 0:45:40.080 --> 0:45:42.040 get that ship from me. Anybody Mom would listen to 0:45:42.080 --> 0:45:45.840 a pop zone. That's true. Hell, I'm gonna do with 0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:51.040 these nigga niggas looking rich but look French were wearing 0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:55.520 these crazy shades. Nick you is from South central nigga, 0:45:57.760 --> 0:46:00.399 but he's out of bad Dana tied around his head. 0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:04.200 Feel me looking with some chucks?

No, they'd be 0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:13.880 wearing them all a little weird fashion pants is now 0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:25.400 m start trying to be a Latin nigers Yeah and 0:46:25.440 --> 0:46:27.520 am goes only work because that ship is a joke. 0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:30.040 Rest in piece of take off.

We got the flavoring. 0:48:04.040 --> 0:48:06.640 Your she gotta have flavoring. It can't. Your flavor cannot 0:48:06.719 --> 0:48:09.279 be expensive season because niggas don't care. They already know, 0:48:10.239 --> 0:48:12.640 like you could preach fashion out this motherfucker thousand times. 0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:14.520 You ain't fenna never be as far as the niggas 0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:17.759 from Georgia. Them gave people right there no gay people 0:48:17.760 --> 0:48:19.640 living in Watson County and Ship where we're from, ain't 0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:21.680 no gay community. Then you have to go to West Hollywood. 0:48:21.719 --> 0:48:24.600 Them niggas them gave people be walking right where they at, 0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:31.840 fight you and everything, hells and five oh one. I 0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:35.400 mean that day closer to fashion for me. That ain't us. 0:48:35.480 --> 0:48:37.640 That's why snooping I snooping them was where thirty all 0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:43.480 outfits selling seven million records. Yeah it chucks. Think of 0:48:43.560 --> 0:48:46.719 Dickies low righty, push that on the grandfather yard, fix 0:48:46.840 --> 0:48:50.319 that up. Think the world went crazy. They could try 0:48:50.320 --> 0:48:51.719 to jump in ferrars and lab get him in. The 0:48:51.760 --> 0:48:54.680 white folks they're like, man, well no, you gotta be 0:48:54.719 --> 0:48:57.000 a country nigger in the motherfucking Lamborghini. If you ain't, 0:48:57.040 --> 0:49:00.319 if you ain't looking crazy, feeling with band dad this top. 0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:02.120 That's being nipbu to talking about that rest is so. 0:49:02.239 --> 0:49:03.600 I used to be like, when you gotta jump out 0:49:03.600 --> 0:49:07.799 the may back nigga looking like a crip, because if 0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:11.360 you jump out wearing a suit, you just regular, it 0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:13.440 looks like you're be in that motherucker. You got to 0:49:13.480 --> 0:49:15.680 jump out that motherfucker cut with your blue rack hanging 0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:20.200 down to the back of your heel. The value. You 0:49:20.280 --> 0:49:22.600 gotta be extra. You gotta tell the valet mad because 0:49:22.640 --> 0:49:25.440 park this cuse crip gang. You got to put it 0:49:25.520 --> 0:49:29.439 on because that car don't fit. So you gotta nigga fight. 0:49:30.640 --> 0:49:32.280 That's what I used to like about the Houston niggas, 0:49:32.280 --> 0:49:34.040 And they used to put them swingers on them. Bentley 0:49:34.080 --> 0:49:38.400 Saya remembers and ship hoof poking out. I'm like, that 0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:42.600 is country, but it is the ship that's them don't 0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:48.360 had them don'ts and ship. Hip hop is culture. Culture 0:49:48.520 --> 0:49:53.080 is flavor. It's flavor to cover up a lot of 0:49:53.840 --> 0:49:56.240 a lot of problems in our community. But it works 0:49:56.280 --> 0:50:01.680 and people love it. They love our flavor. But somehow 0:50:01.800 --> 0:50:03.640 we feel like, oh, well, you know what, as soon 0:50:03.680 --> 0:50:04.920 as I get some money, I got how to be 0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:07.480 like the rest of these white folks. And it's like, then, 0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:11.120 what value do you bring? What is black culture? Because 0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:15.800 without poverty and oppression, what does it even look like? 0:50:16.239 --> 0:50:18.920 If you don't have funked up schools to create slang, 0:50:19.960 --> 0:50:21.960 if parents ain't no drugs and ship for you to 0:50:22.120 --> 0:50:24.960 find some kind of way to survive? Like, what does 0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.440 black culture? Without these things? Man, we'd be eating the 0:50:27.480 --> 0:50:30.560 same thing these cracks head. If we knew how to 0:50:30.560 --> 0:50:33.279 make spaghetti, we wouldn't be baking that ship, boiling that 0:50:33.320 --> 0:50:36.520 ship in the sauce. We'll be making that ship flavored 0:50:36.600 --> 0:50:40.640 like the ship. Somebody tell me my cousin, tell that 0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:42.920 she was like, I like my noodles and my um 0:50:43.280 --> 0:50:46.400 my sauce, like not not not no, she doesn't want it, 0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:49.759 she she wanted. And I'm like, what house sold you 0:50:49.840 --> 0:50:52.560 was because my mama made that. She makes all that 0:50:52.640 --> 0:50:57.080 ship up. Because we want everything dripping with flavor. That's 0:50:57.120 --> 0:50:59.440 why all help sucked up sometimes. But it's cool. You 0:50:59.560 --> 0:51:01.239 just gotta know how the ballance, and you gotta know 0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:02.800 when to put on the show. And that's what the 0:51:02.880 --> 0:51:05.480 problem is. We are doing a bad job on the 0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:08.800 West Coast for putting on the show. That's the real solution. 0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:11.960 We're not giving them a culture. We're trying to assimilate 0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:15.160 into their culture. Man, fuck that Rembering need niggas to 0:51:15.239 --> 0:51:18.880 the West Bold niggas need to get robbed. Make these 0:51:18.960 --> 0:51:26.160 niggas remember, I think we did enough that No, make 0:51:26.280 --> 0:51:28.600 niggas remember what they fucked with us for. That's why 0:51:28.640 --> 0:51:30.800 they I tell them all the time. I came telling that. 0:51:31.320 --> 0:51:33.560 I'll be like, hey, because this ship, like I've been 0:51:33.600 --> 0:51:35.800 to everybody here, y'all know this ship the same. No, 0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:38.520 it's different out there, nigga. Yall niggas, Boy, you niggas 0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:40.560 a skin and y'all killing nigga. Cut the skin off 0:51:41.280 --> 0:51:43.880 the funk are y'all talking about like they made that 0:51:43.960 --> 0:51:45.839 big ship with pter b Rock, Like that ship won't 0:51:45.880 --> 0:51:48.880 happen in every ghetto on around the country. At that Roscoe, 0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:53.480 that Roscolls is cool. That Roscoes all the time and 0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:58.120 get delicious meals that Roscoes right there they go. Nobody 0:51:58.160 --> 0:52:00.320 go to the Rock Scols except everybody go to that 0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:04.840 ros Goes. That's My favorite rocks goals be the sisters 0:52:04.880 --> 0:52:10.399 there with sassy attitudes and ship feel the homies and ship. 0:52:10.400 --> 0:52:12.160 You're gonna see some niggas, you know what, some nigga 0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:14.919 ma me. So again, it's one of the things where 0:52:15.000 --> 0:52:19.200 we not we Our job is to provide our flavor 0:52:19.320 --> 0:52:22.680 to the world in a digestible manner, and we're not 0:52:22.920 --> 0:52:27.160 doing that. We're as simulating too much of everybody else's 0:52:27.200 --> 0:52:30.080 culture and they can get it pure from somebody else. 0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:35.680 That's really the solution. So from the music to the fashion, 0:52:36.040 --> 0:52:39.280 all of these things have to be into. It's funny 0:52:39.280 --> 0:52:40.640 because I used to tell nigs I said, yeah, I 0:52:40.640 --> 0:52:42.799 should wear dickies. Oh gee man, that's that old school ship. 0:52:42.880 --> 0:52:45.879 I'm like, that's not This is like a uniform, because 0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:49.279 don't forget like that that nigga deak Tho came and 0:52:49.440 --> 0:52:52.399 put some writing on the fucking dickey jacket and start 0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:55.680 charging the ship out of niggas for that ship.
