I was literally I was literally. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:40.559 Driving nine hours from from North Carolina to New York 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.480 and back sometimes. I mean I would literally pick up 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.720 movies and come back and so and it was it 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.520 was one six it was around the one sixteenth and 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.920 Linux area where like this, they basically had this whole 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.440 Now I'm about the now, about the but what's over now? 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.000 I guess I could expose them. They either did. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.280 Movies by stealing them from. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.560 Yeah right, so way more respect to projects. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.240 But under the projects they had like a whole underground operation. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.800 The ship was crazy like they so they took me. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.920 They took me down, you know, underneath the building one time. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.600 Don't tell us too much because there's definitely another operation 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.240 under those projects. We don't know what it is. But 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.000 the operation doesn't just stop, it just switches. So there's 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.200 deitely something going on under those projects. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.320 Yeah, so we were so we were copying for about 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.440 like maybe two dollars a piece and were selling them 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:33.120 at ten dollars. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.520 But two thousand and two was. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.960 Right around the age of what you know, digital started 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.400 taking over, so like the game started right the game 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.040 started changing it. So I was catching niggas on the 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.120 street selling DVDs now for like you know, like shit, 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.719 like they were something like two two for ten, and 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.400 they eventually it was like two for five, and I'm like, 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:55.360 you know what I'm saying, it got crazy. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.560 You could get you could get four for fifteen. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.800 See yeah, joints and if you found. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.280 The right DVD dude, you could get the ones with 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.680 the year consideration on them, and those was just. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:09.360 Like the f C. 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:14.319 Get the fy C and those was the ones you wanted, 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:16.400 like get that. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.839 Now niggas are in the voting guild, what I'm saying, 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:25.400 making decisions. You know, I'm often curious like about how 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.840 influential the bootleg industry could have been, especially to black films, 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.240 Like if like if if the bootleg industry had. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.240 Any bearing on Oscars. 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.160 We could have gotten like paid in for nominated, We 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.959 could have gotten like official nominated, we could have got 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.439 Brown Sugar nominated. But those numbers, honestly, I think there 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.679 was there's a there's an argument to be made that 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.800 bootleg numbers should count towards box office. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.960 But you think about it, like, are no different now 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:59.640 than like Spotify numbers?
