It's like a 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.800 new urban version of it, and it had uh. I 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.760 was just with her son and I saw that and 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.960 I was like, yo, if she should play that, like 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.520 we should put it in this thing, And then we 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.200 had it. It was in development for a while. A 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.360 lot of projects don't actually make it the television. A 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.120 lot that one, specifically if fell apart, had a husband 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.640 and wife write a team that we just couldn't get 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.520 it over the water with the scripts. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.880 So that one, you know, we just went back to 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:10.280 the joint. 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.560 But but I had some things that I was looking 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.760 to just for already, because like I watched people online 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.480 and I see like they working and there's no real 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.080 they're receiving, like they're trying to monetize the material that 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.839 they putting out. But it's not a big Bay Day, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.520 like as big as it could be when they're on on. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.560 The show like Network TV. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.480 So I look and see it was really working because 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.840 some of them stand out. They just just it just 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.320 works out the gate like she was. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:38.840 One of them. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.480 Look at this ninety nine.

The first thing she says, Man, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.839 fifty gonna be there tomorrow. YO, tell them, I said, 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:01.200 was up, And I wish I could have seen them, 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.360 have them record a video saying something to me or something. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.480 I don't give a fuck, man, I'm mad as a bitch. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:06.160 I'm not going to be there. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.280 So she need her job, she needs her drops. She 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:09.000 went to signed. 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:10.919 We got something to do some stuff for her. 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.160 I think you get a lot of that because you 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.200 you so accessible. 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.360 Still, Yeah, I. 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.080 Talked to her like I saw I saw working and 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.160 I started DMO and was talking to her about it 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.320 already like long before, because I was like, yo, no, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.079 this is it will fit perfect here. Just trying to 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.880 place it in a big part instead of like a 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.799 cameo or something was what held it out. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.960 You still got time, you got a lot of show. 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.640 One of the things I always wanted to ask you, man, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.520 whyld Shreveport the destination spot for your studio. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.560 It was because they already had the infrastructure, like they 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.200 had already had the taxing center of everything there to 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:44.600 have a business be functional. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.520 Like if you think about like New York, LA, the students. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.640 Out here, they're paying fifty eight percent the taxes now, 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.720 so if you was on the thirty nine percent, you're 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.760 already going out of business. If you don't scale back, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.240 you're already going out of business. So a lot of 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.680 them didn't make adjustments. In California, I'm buying equipment from 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.840 their companies after the fire, bankruptcy Turk for cheap prices. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.360 Hey pennies on the dollar. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:12.400 Now break down Streetport because a lot of people have 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.600 never been to Streetport. But you know, people say it's 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.160 a very violent place. You know what look, but that weekend, 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:20.120 that's a part of a. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.039 Reputation that we don't know because when we did, like 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.680 the time that I did go that we had zero violence, 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.360 you know what I mean for four days straight and 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.120 I don't know, nobody is said that they didn't have 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.840 a good time.

Now, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:47.840 a lot of times if people. 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.640 Go there and they don't know where you're from, or 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.919 what you're doing, or how in every neighborhood it's a 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.839 little bit of it's an element there something going on there. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.120 And then when for there be nothing them. 0:04:59.920 --> 0:05:01.599 Was looked at it like I had to go to 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.600 Louisiana to meet with the governor Jeff to talk about 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.839 the taxes because they was talking about changing it and 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.039 kind of carve out what I would need to be 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.600 comfortable stand in that place because there's look at that point, 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.320 so I mean I didn't have time. I spent We 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.800 had ninety days, bro Like even though look at the 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.920 car shows scenario, it was like. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:24.760 Let's do it. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.960 We hear a roadblock, I go, no, let's just do 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.800 it anyway, Like, let's just do it, you know what 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:30.000 I mean? 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.440 Because I wanted to make sure we had something for everybody. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.360 How much did you spend that that weekend? Because out 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.640 of your own money? Yeah, because there was no you 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.880 didn't have no, no huge sponsor, syst nothing like that. 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:41.640 All out your pocket. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.240 You built the people don't understand what you did, and 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.520 it's hard to describe it. Like you built your own club, 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.960 you built your own car show, fit, gym, you brought 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.880 your own restaurants, like you built a city in Treeport 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:57.800 for that weekend, but. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.279 Just to show them what would happen, because then you 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.720 get thirty five thousand people to come to the town. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.600 The tax, the hotel taxes where people staying in not 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.320 only on this reports side, but the busures side. They 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.520 raised the hotel prices when they see so many the 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.800 demand for it. The flights went from two hundred and 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.760 thirty nine dollars to twelve hundred dollars. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.400 Coach, Yes, you know what I mean. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.640 And you're going, man, why I just can't leave it 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.159 two hundred dollars leave it there because we need everybody 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.400 to come, you know. 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:28.640 But it almost was. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.960 It builds excitement when you when you do it the 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.960 first time and it's successful like that. They showed out, 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.520 like the people's report, not having any altercations or not 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:42.520 doing anything. I think it also attributes to the morale 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.960 of law enforcement because when they're being paid, like I 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.320 was paying them THEMN in sixty five dollars an hour, 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.240 so I had to put spend additional six hundred thousand. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.839 But they were in a good space, so they're not 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:58.160 looking to arrest you. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.000 They're looking to keep everything cool. 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.479 And I think that temper when when they when you 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.800 for law enforcement, when they come out there like that, 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.320 everybody chills out because it's like they're not even tripping 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.280 while we tripping all or I don't. 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.520 You don't want to prove nothing when everything's going smooth. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.080 So everybody got taken care of except a Hurricane Chris. 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.720 All of that, and Hurricane Christill has something to say. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.880 I know you posted they need to. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:23.960 Try and sell a record, man. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.440 That's a part of our coach also, right, and and 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.760 that publicity tried to build some noise to drop a record, 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.240 and it didn't work because it's just like when the whole. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.200 Event and everything is positive and you come with. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.800 I'm gonna kill somebody energy and they go for what 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.360 exactly for. 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.520 For building the economy and the city that needs it. 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.120 When you got that many people there understanding, the smartest 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.600 people that's there looking go this food, just want clicks 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.320 on the thing, like on on the machine, because you 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:00.960 can't there's nothing the negative about it. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.000 You can't find a negative point. 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.360 And that specifically, even I took away from hip hop 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:10.000 and made a human harmony, made it the comedians, the 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.720 comedy side, the things, let's laugh, let's love music, bro, 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.800 you know what I'm saying. Instead of it being because 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.240 that energy, if we bring that and then something happens, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.800 they go it was this that did it, you know, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.040 And and people assumed that we couldn't have a good 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.880 time there, but you know obviously we did. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.400 And you had Louisiana artists there. Yeah, yeah, he was there. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.840 Look Fredo gets playing my rock like that kid, I don't. 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.800 I don't play it like that was a thousand years ago. 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.720 I was like, that was not that's not in my playlist, 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.720 like you know, like these kids like Freddo looked. 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.720 He was like, yo, I don't even know he I 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:47.960 know the word for word. 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.920 The songs because I'm listening to the music. You know 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.520 what I'm saying, and it's it's I had a good time. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.439 Even if some of the other artists, real local artists, 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:55.920 they got a. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:57.840 Chance to rock, you know what I mean. It's just 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.920 he just was upset because he wasn't a part of that. 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.439 Now when you look at some of these younger artists 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.120 and you see how they idolize you and idolize your music, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.520 and then you see them get caught up. Yeah, do 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.040 you have conversations with them? Like I remember Castanova and 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.160 you was trying to talk to Castanova with Troy av 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.360 and now little Dirk, do you have conversations with them 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.240 and be like I've seen this play before. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.520 And even with Dirk, I was telling him, like when 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.120 I had him, he was saying in New York, we 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.760 did uh the power. 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.640 That's first and last acting roll at this point. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.760 But we did the the uh not that the acting 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.559 ro when were doing the theme song for Force, the 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:36.440 Chicago version. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.680 Then like I was like, yo, this is this is 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:41.840 done right, then it's real ship. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.640 Right.

He made 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.920 the flight. By the time we get in the car, 0:10:58.360 --> 0:10:59.079 I sat in the car. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:08.920 Man, I'm like, I said, motherfucker all the way to 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.640 the hotel. We get there waiting on the sticker and 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.440 tell me how the fuck you got on that plane? 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.120 Then he go, yo, this this is, this is but 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.439 he's so weirded out, like it's so it's energy.

Like 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.840 as soon as get getting to the car, he didn't 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.640 know how to do it. And don't let him drive 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.679 you man, you know you got some funny bunness going on. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:32.760 You know what I say. You can't get. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.040 Picked up after you have rise and then they just 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.880 let you go even with it permits. If you would 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.439 not make the flight, there's no way he got He 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.040 ended up on a flight. Me, he already had a 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.920 handler for him to make the flight. You got to 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.080 already have somebody can. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.480 Call being able to get him out. 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.720 When you said that that, Dirk, what was his response to, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.800 you see you know what you see? 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.520 Somebody just came to my house. How do you know 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:02.880 exactly who? Address nobody like this? It's not because something happened. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.040 Robbery and Georgia. When his when India had went straight 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:06.920 to talking about. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:11.480 That, what do you think it is about many men 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.200 that resonate so much with this generation. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.560 I think that they know that the opposition mm hmm. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.960 They know who the other side is. Why, so they 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.679 know when his cruise, there's a bunch of them over there. 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.320 They all rock with each other. So if you a 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:30.800 recognizable person on the other side, then they're already that 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.600 top vibe. Start feeling like they all want me or 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.079 they know that I'm a valuable piece over here, so 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.880 if they hit me, then it'll create confusion over here. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:45.400 So they It resonates even in the drill culture. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.679 But you was able to see it early, right because 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.719 you've always made early residency. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.080 I am not gang gang. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:56.880 I don't know. I do not like I do not 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:57.800 like conspiracy. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.839 Keep both of those brothers away from me. I don't 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.800 like neither one of those things. And these laws are 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.560 designed to bring down the mafia bro Italian. Look when 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:14.679 they say they reserve, they reserved the ability to to offer. 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.080 Like when you think criminal crime in general, right when 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.640 when I said the word organized, it means intelligence. That's 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.640 why when I say organized crime, you only think of 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:23.720 white Italian Americans. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.000 You don't think of triads, you don't think of Russians. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.680 You don't think of any other ethnicity, right, Serbians, none 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.319 of that. And we put all of that in power 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.520 because there's different versions of it of it that and 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.400 we wanted to have it feel like the city feels 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.920 like it's thirteen million people. It's a mountain pot of 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.040 people here. Culturally, you want it to be as diverse 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.680 as possible. So but when you do think about it, 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.360 when they do say organize, it's saying smart criminal. If 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.280 they have to point to a criminal, say smart, it's 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.480 going to be a white Italian American. We are still 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.160 in America. You see what I'm saying. They're not gonna 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.160 call anybody all smart. They'll call you kingpin, they'll call 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.439 you a gay leader, and they'll say massive amounts of 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.280 money or message that they were brought in at those points. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.920 But they're not gonna call you smart. What did you say? 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.840 They have even did that with meet When you think about. 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.200 It, it was k yeah, yeah, yeah, You're not gonna say. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:14.640 What did you see early enough? 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.920 That was like, nah, I just never seen anyone successful 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.440 in a game ever in the history of gangs. I 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.960 haven't seen success. So I join the sorority. That's the 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:26.400 gag that. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.720 People who actually make it, you know, like join. 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:36.680 Those kind of games. I'll do something that kind of gag. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:37.240 I'm with it. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.280 I joined if they let me those games, because they 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.360 go into success and stay connected to each other and 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.120 they feel like brotherly energy or they will do whatever 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.520 for you because like that's my brother already, you know 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.360 what I mean. Like but that I never seen anyone 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.280 have successive games. And I look like it's so easy. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.880 You don't even have to be involved. All you gotta 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.160 do is be aware. 0:14:59.600 --> 0:14:59.880 What you do. 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:01.800 Say, g unit, I started my own game back in 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:02.080 the day. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.160 Yeah, yeah, because the energy was there, Like I look 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.160 the youth, the younger So, I mean, the younger dudes 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.200 do not want to follow the older guy's path. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.640 They don't you recognize what you did then? 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.280 Yeah, but every money in Black History Month, that's February, 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:18.800 my brother. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:20.520 You know you did that. 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.360 That was a long time ago and they're out active now, 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.360 so they don't want to follow that step. And when 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.000 I start doing that, it brought the ability to do 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.760 different things did around it. The older dudes already had 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.720 that where they could send ahead or do different things, 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.120 and that, you know, brought that to me. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:40.800 You mentioned you mentioned me. Have you spoken to me 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:41.280 at all? 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.480 I had a text message, conversations back and forth. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.000 Because he's in the halfway house. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.760 You think should be got a lot of things. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:50.960 He can do. 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:52.840 Man, you might want to make a movie, he might 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.760 want to do some different things where you know, because 0:15:55.360 --> 0:16:00.640 a lot of I understand how important real it's to 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.800 our culture, right, But when you developing television, it's to 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.280 find the best possible story you can. 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:07.800 Find and then make up somethings. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.840 You got to make up things because your life in 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.400 the second Charlomagne's life, So I immediately get a little 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.280 lossuit when we get over there. This is what you understand, i'maying. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:18.960 So you got to change things around a little bit. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.240 And then that's the uh the series when when you 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.880 see we see high notes, we see low notes, and 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.080 at points it's when they do something that's like when 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.800 we have a TV moment when it feels like completely real. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.040 And this is why it was important for me to 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.400 get a little meets ready so he can go there 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:37.960 because when you're watch it and it's good and then 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.640 you go you know, that's the sun right And as 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.000 a fun fact to the person. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.080 Who's watching with you. 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.560 You feel like this it's got to be true because 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:50.040 the sun is there, and this is and and that's 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.920 a rarity.
