I don't want to 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.960 say your name wrong, rod Timmy, tim Timmy, Sir? Did 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.240 he about this? What did he say?

Oh you got okay, okay, fifty cents here 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:38.880 we got one. We don't write the check out. Well, 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.479 now what's going on? Fifth man? Everything's good man. I 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.360 got a chance to work with Roald Timmy and he 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.920 played my young boy on on on on the Power Show, 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.960 like I met him in jail and he got out 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.040 before me, like I had got knock off his young boy. 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.840 You know a lot of youth culture, the way things 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.760 are all on the street is they don't really have consequence. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.199 You're thinking, there's a lot of wet pillows in prison. 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.320 The crime about it, after the fact, assess it, you 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.039 know what I'm saying. But when they out on the 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.440 street and active, they torpedoes all they needed coordinates. But congratulations. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.880 We were talking about the second season premiere and how 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.600 it broke all kinds of records on stars for original series, right, 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.360 but Angela were expecting that, we were expecting success. I 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.000 was like this from the very beginning when I was 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.600 talking Courtney, I was like, this is going watch what happens. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:36.919 Like I intentionally put us in at odge with because 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.720 of the marketing dollars. I knew Fox was going to 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.960 spa over the time period. You know, it's commercial network. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.080 They could put you s. Look how many covers and 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.200 how many different things you've seen in their cast the 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.520 lawn after the fact. You know they spend good money 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:55.080 on it because it's in everyone's television programming without them 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.960 ordering cable, right. You know that's one of your strategies though, 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.600 Like whenever you got something coming, you picked the thing 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.440 that's the top, top thing and go at it. I 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.320 gotta go after Puff with the you know, because his 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.440 positions number two in the category, and I don't care 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.559 you know how anyone feels about it. It's my strategist 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.760 the way I was taught to do things like okay, 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.640 because you didn't notice and you missed the messaging points 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:27.919 over the last twelve years, I sold drugs, and when 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.720 you when you tell drugs, we could acquire your your company, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:36.200 the corporate decisions made while in that lifestyle. You could 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.920 kill someone to acquire that position. So you take it 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.720 to the corporate I will kill you, just not literally, Yeah, 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.880 it's just you know, but I take it there, and 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.000 then it gives you additional energy and drive to go 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.600 in the direction you need to. Strategically speaking, would you 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.720 say that's why you and Floyd maybe had a little 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.000 bit of a tiff. I supposed to Floyd, you know 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.600 what I mean previously when you started your boxing promotions, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.200 and maybe that's oh no, no, that wasn't you know 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.120 what happened with me in Florida. He just decided he 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.720 wanted to do something else. And he's conditioned because he 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.919 does what he wants when he wants. He just did 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.400 something else without warning, like gonna let me know what 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.480 he was doing. And I'm mad at that. And you know, 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.600 like when you're in a position where you can get 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.480 thirty million dollars a fight and spend thirty million getting 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.480 thirty million, and it don't matter in this because you 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.760 can consistently win, like that. Um, it's tough to give 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.720 a person any type of directions or tell him anything. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.960 Let's let's let's talk more about power man. You know, 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.800 first of all, be half on behalf of men everywhere. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.880 We want to thank you because I heard that is 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:47.720 gonna show her time. Wait ever, so fur we're gonna 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:52.920 loop that. Everiso four, We're gonna loop that and let 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.440 that play on stars and the loop. See what's going 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.400 on here? How did you make that happen? And did 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:04.160 you remember that happened? I? Yeah, man, I was like this, 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.880 this is artistic. This is the point where you take 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.400 it to the next level. But you know, I never 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.600 was waiting for I felt like we anticipating a sex take. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.000 We might have to luke that. Let that be say 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:21.640 you have to talk to mellow about that, because you 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.480 were mellow cool. Yeah no, no, no, I didn't say 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.160 anything to him because I was like, man, this is something, 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.640 this is a different thing, like this is between you 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.760 and your wife. I shouldn't be any personal. I was 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.720 talking a lot, you know what the side like, yo, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:35.320 look you should do creatively, you should really go already. Yeah, 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:36.680 it was there, it was there, It was written and 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.680 they had like like I got a scene with my 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.719 baby mother. Didin't meet her yet on the show, but 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.359 you see, like I come into it, and then my 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.200 character is a little different because I don't want to 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.840 have that. I didn't even want Sean when we had them, 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.520 my son, because I didn't want the vulnerability connected to 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.080 you know, having a word about someone else, those things 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.440 and just just came in so far into the lifestyle. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.480 They're just like I don't need anything that I can't 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.480 walk away from or you know, it would make me 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.120 softer than a different one. Now is it true that 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.000 you were gonna play ghost what you decided not to? Well, 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.560 I was so invested in the actual storyline at one 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.520 point that I was like, look, it's definitely easier sell 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.680 for me to go in and saying I would actually 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.440 play the character. And I was like, you know, I'll 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.000 play Ghosts because I just was so like and I 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.840 was losing Courtney at one point she was like, uh, 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.480 it's been taking time like this. I kind of got 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.720 to focus on that just that and it was like, look, 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.719 i'll play I'll do it. And this is then we 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.080 got picked up and it was like the requite too much, 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.120 like you know, the networks, and it is for MARII 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.640 because it's a lot, a lot of work. I feel 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.520 like your character's gonna get killed on the show Man. 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.960 He's just so grimy. I just can't see him living 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.720 past this season. I know. The only thing holding him 0:05:52.760 --> 0:06:00.960 into the show is me. Guys got picked up for 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.640 season three though, yeah, yeah, this is gonna go for 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.560 at least seven seasons. It'll be on for you know, 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.000 quite some time. I just I think that, you know, 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:10.680 like when you say, like they go, you got picked 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.400 up for season three, I go, you're surprised. I mean, 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.680 it's the largest show on their network period. So he's like, 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.599 you're gonna get rid of the largest show on your network. 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:23.560 I don't even had stars before Power really did. And 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.440 after the show goes off, I don't care if you 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:30.080 if you can't, you can, we can wait until the 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.720 show is coming back. How deeper y'a all into the seasons? 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.960 Are you already like ahead? This is This is a 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.680 big part of the how they do the story telling, 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.640 because if they know that they're going that Courtney is 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.080 really in season five, like as far as the art 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.240 already written those things, and then it's like going to 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.240 create the details of season three and then I'll be 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.440 making requests because I need to see and field things 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.240 that I know the coaching needs. Yeah, I'm waiting to 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.960 see the Tory and La La beat up Angela. Oh 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:07.200 it's a good So different things got to happen side check. 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.840 Like you look, they always get into the main chick 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.720 sidegeck thing. But if the main chick is conditioned for 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.920 something that was a party of life, that if you 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.400 make it to the roof of what you can do 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.520 in that business, and she just wants it to stay 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.320 the way it is, and you're going, it's never it 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.560 never ends good. So you're going, we got to try 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.640 something different, and she's like turning the nose up at 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.160 what you choose to go on day. Actually, then you 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.960 start to look at it like maybe she wasn't all 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.440 the way the right person, you know what I mean, 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.160 Like it definitely was the right person to go on 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.239 that journey as far as the legal business was concerned. 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.160 But now that you're starting to feel like we have 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.880 the roof of it, what happens next? Because his wife 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.800 is really doesn't want to see him progress do anything else, 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.760 just stay where I just wanted to be the way 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.920 it is, she's comfortable you see you this way. I 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.400 don't want you to turn into position like when it 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.280 was like no, we want you to stay bull. You 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.920 can't be fifteen forget this rap. You know what this? 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.000 I think when when in the lifestyle itself, you can 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:08.119 feel like you create a false sense of security because 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.480 if they like they got bills or got issues, you're 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.720 let Nana, I got it, and you don't really know 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.400 that you got it. You're just saying I'm gonna take 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:16.920 care of it. Then I'm willing to take care of 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:18.560 it for you at this issue. And then you get 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.120 out on the street and you do what you can do, 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.840 and a lot of times you make things happen, you 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.800 can come back and really take care of it. But 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.800 it is a false sense because it doesn't there's nothing 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.520 guaranteed to say that you're gonna be able to do that, right, 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.720 you know? And I think and that that's where that 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.520 translates the same A lot they don't know about well 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:41.400 Timmy is he was actually supposed to be on Empire. Really, yeah, 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.880 you look like one of Lucier's kids. You can sing, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.959 you can sing, yeah, yeah, yeah. But so that was 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:49.800 why it made sense for me to do the show. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.959 At first, it was down to me, Quincy and Yazz actually, 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.200 and then Quincy dropped out and it was down to me. Yas. Yeah, 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.920 his Puffy Carson was like, how are you gonna let 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.760 them take your publishing? That? I take people down to 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.800 me and Yeas And at the time they're telling me, 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.880 I got it shows you're gonna be you know, you're 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.000 the guy. So I started looking for places in Chicago. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.240 I was, you know, signing on my lease and everything, 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.960 and I was having meetings with you know, networks and 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.320 stuff like that. So it got to the point where 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.319 I was turning down offers from other shows because I 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.560 thought I was gonna be on. They told you you 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.839 had the Empire role basically, and you were willing to 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.559 sign over your publishing and everything. Well that was before 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.400 I knew really what was going on. Yeah, before all that. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.920 So it was just word talking to me, you know, 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.400 the network saying this mind you know. And then I 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.280 turned down a couple of things because it was a 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.360 perfect situation. Well he has Star Wars, yeah, and I 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.840 have Star Wars. I was like, there was like the 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:44.880 fifth time to them back, the fifth time to call 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.600 me back and there was just another another, another network. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.280 So turned it down. But I mean it worked out, 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:56.000 worked out. Is it worth signing you're publishing over No, 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.040 not as a musician, if you really believe me yourself, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.040 I mean, if you if you really believe it's it 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.800 was not worth doing that. But if they asked you 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:08.280 to play the gay cent on, it does look something's 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:14.079 a really tough. Yeah. I don't think I played a 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:20.080 drug dealer gangster who will kill anybody for character. The 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:21.920 last a couple of weeks ago, we've seen me before 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.040 fifth on stage with somebody that you didn't get along with. 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.360 The last time we've seen that, it was altercation. So 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.440 when I seen fifty cent performing next to French Montan, 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.679 I thought it was yeah, that was that was like 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:34.839 I was doing the dance, it's a new dance called 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:39.640 the shot, Big Shock, Little Fish. I seen it was like, 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.920 this is my way of making him uncomfortable, because that's 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.400 what he does. Did you have a conversation you just 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.240 now we were into each other backstage, like French he 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.000 used to be around like like when I did that 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.720 back in the days, had a psychic told me and 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.040 he recorded he definitely like so it's like you know time, 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.439 It's like I go even whip the puffy, like I'm 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.000 saying those things people misinterpreted if they don't know. I 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.240 don't care if they misinterpreted anymore. Like I look at 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.959 it and I go, whoever's in the top position or 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.240 in the league position, I make that competition. But then 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.280 myself with that because I'm I'm gonna position to myself 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.439 well in the category regardlessly. So it's like, I mean, 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.640 if you're losing markets year and you see me gaining, 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.720 you understand why, and no, tell him to tech the numbers. 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.600 He's losing Monkets year and I'm gaining, You don't like 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.319 just in that position he's done other thing? Student makes 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:36.880 me kind of situation. See he look, he knows the 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.400 old thing. Like the guys. Its points that we could 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.000 have easily, I could have easily transitioned to make money 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.199 on different things. Did he turn his nose up back? 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.960 Because I think it was ego, you know, it felt 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.520 like it was losing something that was that he built 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.360 or did he you know, but the deal making you 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.199 ain't never gonna have. Nobody says, okay, okay, I'll give 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.760 away my my my profits, so you're gonna let me 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.959 pretty much. What Jimmy was saying at that point was 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.439 he gonna give me the money and I have the profits, 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.080 not fifty percent of it. I can have his portion 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:12.520 that problem and we couldn't make it. Yep, you know. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:19.280 So I'm like, yeah, yeah, you know, you know I 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.600 get said. He was like yeah, basically all the way 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:28.120 we heard to mix tapes. I didn't realize that I've 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:32.040 been saying it for so long though it's been a while. 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:33.520 I remember the mixed I Camember with the name of 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:34.800 but she was on the album couple went to the 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.800 shovel in the Graveyard or something, yeah, And I was 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:42.319 like that, man, I don't like him. We can started 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.720 to come over like because and it's not personal like 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.680 other people help it, like James Cruise and them. You know, 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.599 I don't like them. He's another one. I seen it 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.360 on stage. Used to work with him, yeah, because he 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.200 worked with Chris Lden and stuff like that. And I 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.120 used to be really cool that you should travel with me, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.000 you know what I'm saying. But the stuff, the temperament 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.720 makes me not really helly flip floppy, like you go 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.520 back and forth you don't have to choose people, like 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.760 if you have a relationship with one person, I look 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.600 at it. I just I don't expect people to go 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.720 because of my relationship with you. When I go over here, 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.120 I'm gonna be someone different or behave differently. You know 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.520 what I'm saying. You can say, look, well you know 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.640 I have a relationship with them is It doesn't mean 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.880 that you one completely phases out the other. It just 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.439 people know how to position themselves where they're not creating 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.480 that ripple where you don't feel like you did this 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.719 person now that you go over there. But if you 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.360 have somebody working for you that you know used to 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:37.760 work with somebody else that you don't get along with, 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.000 I'm sure you wouldn't want them to Still, I don't 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.120 even bring them in the room right when I'll start 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.439 when I have an issue, Well, I'm addressing that person. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.360 If they previously they don't put them in that position, 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.000 you know what I'm saying. But if they felt like 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.520 they got the like some sort of allegiance or some 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.920 sort of loyalty to that person, now then you go okay. 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.480 But then when I see them, I don't feel at energy. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.440 I feel like they're almost afraid of of my actions 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.360 or what how I would receive some of the things 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.960 that they've been doing. You know, guys uncomfortable from what 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.760 they said they was gonna do, you know what I mean, 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.120 Like when they see you and it's like why do 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.959 you feel like why are you so uncomfortable? Don't grudge, 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.400 but you've been saying you're gonna do something, or you've 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.880 been saying things that make you uncomfortable internally when you 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.680 see the person. You know what I'm saying. And that's 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.800 that's where I kind of get from because I don't 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.680 like him. I ran into him his wife and his 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:32.040 kids at the summer Jack and I love his daughters, 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.000 like the kids don't. They don't have no bad in them, 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.600 you know what I'm saying. And when his wife it's like, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.240 oh no, not like shit, I didn't want to take 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.240 a picture. I'm like, we didn't get the from over here. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.760 And like him, I just say how the kid if 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.800 I said your kid at that point, or don't even 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.920 say how that are like because it just it just 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:54.400 felt funny that and I think on my the way 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.200 I took like her response to me is like right now, yeah, 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.840 his wife. Yeah, like it just felt like whatever he's 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.640 been saying to her, may I feel like that because 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.200 that's her husband, so she gotta ride with her husband. No, No, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.960 I got that. I'm just saying to you, like I 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.160 don't have anything with him. Did he should be discussing 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.000 with his wife uncomfortable when she saw me. You old 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.920 grudges against New York executives because they didn't sign you 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.840 and they had the chance back in the day. But no, 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.400 I just didn't deal with them, like at the point 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.000 my peak point, I didn't run around and go, oh, 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.920 let's do a feature, let's work together, like they didn't 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.600 help me get in, and then you want me to 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.520 help you sell records. You know what I mean. I'm like, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.800 I don't care like then. To be honest with you, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.280 the things that happened to our culture based on Southern 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.840 based music coming in are cool. People start moving a 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.400 little more to the music, They dance like New York 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.600 when they love you, we get a bob and they 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.440 leave with the same passion you would have had for 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.520 the guy that took his shook his hair out and 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:53.080 sweated say he was crumped or whatever. And the energy 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.400 and the actual club and I'm like, I ain't got 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.680 nothing but a Yankee had. I'm all New York, you 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.200 know what saying. It's just what that changed it, and 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.880 it simplified things. It made it not as complex. Like 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.240 there was a point where he was writing stories backwards, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.520 like in the funeral, Like I wrote on an animal ambition, 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.040 it starts at the funeral. Then I explained to you 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.080 how he got to his funeral. Nas was writing like 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.800 a movie started the end and then go back to 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.760 you know, go back to what happened. And like we 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.720 had got so complex in the story writing side of 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.160 things that, um, it started to kind of be like, 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:33.040 let me listen and understand the art versus just having 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.440 a good time. And I saw you speak up for 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.560 Troy you have on Instagram and everybody was going in 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.040 on them for selling forty records. What made you do that? Well? 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.880 You know, I like, I didn't wasn't sure I liked 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:45.480 Troy at first, because I was hearing a lot of 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:49.280 meat yeah, people were saying he was a you know yeah, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.800 And then I go, I've been there for how long? 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.520 How many people did you hear that? This sounded like 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:00.960 big I'm saying, how many people sounded like Jay at 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.000 different points. Yo, they don't have that thing from their 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.359 favorite artist, and he's not copying, he's doing his version 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.360 of it. And now when you see the do do 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.200 do do do that record kind of sold me on him, 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:13.639 like I was like, I liked this and then you 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.840 did a song with him. Yeah, and you bring him 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.960 on tour with you, bang bang record. I bring him 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.800 out every did not then not tied up when I 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.119 when we I've been setting dates because you got to 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.919 go so far ahead and I'll let them, you know, 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.760 come on the tour. And Chris Lady who passed away, 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.040 his daughter has her own show. Yeah, I've seen her 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.560 drive in your car and she crashed your car.

Soon as I've seen the caption, 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.879 and I said, oh, but I've seen how old is she? 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.760 She's only she's the baby, Like what'st the name? She did, 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.679 We're going around the corner and she said, look, come 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.200 around the corner of the car and the guy but 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.119 it was really his fault as an uber driver. And 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:59.040 he opens like he's already double part and he opened 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:03.560 the door and just hit the bombers the middle. Then 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:11.679 you'll see to take because I because I was like, yo, 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.560 like man, I didn't see it coming right, you know, 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.800 And it was like it's funny though, I was like, 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:20.800 we just take. It was like the first segment of 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.159 Q tip is gonna take for also, and then she 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.440 like building her television show right here in the light, 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.840 you know. And then so I was up on and 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:31.960 went up on teams he like two seconds later. I 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.639 was like, who's here to see that? You get a 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.640 lot of money for them pictures? Man, yeah, they got 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:38.840 And then as soon as the guy, the guy from 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.640 the like from the card or he came and wanted 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.879 to take a picture, I was like, yeah, I mean 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.520 cool because she already had me in the space where 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.520 I was just I'm already in that headspace where everything's okay, cool, 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.280 whatever you want to do. So his insurance is handling it. No, no, no, 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.480 I took care of that. Ain't no ten thousand dollar fix. 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.600 People want to know who you tied up and put 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.439 a gun to in the double XL office to get 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.639 kick kid on the Oh I didn't do that. I 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:10.399 don't do that he really did. Look, he really did 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.680 that on his own and check this out. He's really 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.119 a freshman vet, you know, because he's been around, bumped around. 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.560 But that I tell him, I say, that's what my 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.560 career was like. Like not everyone gets to start when 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.280 they're ready, but when they do get into position the 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.960 right way, it just leaves them season. It's like a comedian. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:34.520 Comedians are always overworked. They always have to be fine 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.239 tu him for so long that when they do get 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.000 the shot, like you'll see like having heart been around 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:39.960 for a minute. Then when he get in position, boom 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.159 and you see him and he'd be like, how are 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.720 they able to work this much? You know, like to 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.480 be on these shows and movies all at the same time. 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.000 It's because it's light work to him because he's been working. 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.000 Now he's been out and don't stand up in different 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.280 things Like I think that like comedians are like, it's 0:19:56.320 --> 0:20:00.200 like fitness. You can't really miss a daylight, you know 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.199 what I'm saying. When you stay fine tuned and your 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.800
