So like I 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:22.800 think I remember like one conversation me and him had 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.280 it was like Logan had came out, and uh, we 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.360 were just having a debate about the movie. And then 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.680 somebody at the say she's like, y'all should do a 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.440 podcast together. So, like, you know, on my time off 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.679 and his time off, you know, after Breakfast Club, we 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.360 would just shoot it. And then the pandemic came and 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.280 then he got a show and then everything just kind 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.720 of got super busy. But honestly, like that was such 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.480 a great opportunity. And when we still see each other, 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.200 like we talk about like the nerd ship, like we 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:44.639 love that. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.760 What did you think of Flash? I didn't get to 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:47.280 see it yet. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:48.600 Because I I've been on we you know, we've been 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:49.560 on the on the Radar tour. 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.680 It's like super mid Yeah, I keep hearing. I'm like, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.560 how Michael Keatons did it? What's what? How they fucked 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:55.919 that up? 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.480 Like like how do you bring back like everybody, well 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.880 most people favorite Batman, right, and then you include Supergirl 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.440 and then somehow you still mess it up like this. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.760 This guy who plays Flash did so many so much 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.320 wow ship, and they kept him in the movie. So 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:13.919 I'm like they had to have kept him in there 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:15.920 because it has to be Fire. I was thinking they 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.840 will scrap it after this guy was like breaking into 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.399 people's houses and falling asleep on the couch and doing 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.640 all kinds of weird ship the actor or like like 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.880 fighting people and whole guy fucking wild guy for sure. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.440 You ever seen the video of him in Hawaii where 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:27.800 it's like you know what want to talk about? 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.120 Was like his face is a great I think he's uh. 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:30.959 They slashed them. 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.280 They yeah, they they sorry gotta beat my apologically correct. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:34.680 I'd be correct. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.040 But when they had when their uh, their mugshot was 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.720 on the TV. Yes, and then it pans over and 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.320 he's just like sipping a drink in like a nice 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.360 in like a nice suit, talking to three older women. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.560 It's just like wild Boy Man wold Boy. 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.080 But yeah, I didn't get to see it. I'm gonna 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.160 watch it, uh when I go back to New York. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.000 But I did see Spider Verse, and Spider Verse was phenomenal, amazing. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.880 Do you think do you think the Spider Verse two 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.200 movies are better because there's a lot of people saying 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.600 that they're the best Spider Man's period. Yeah, I think so. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:04.880 You think so, I think so. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.360 I just think it's just I don't know, because I 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.240 remember when the animated movies first came out, I was 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.640 like I don't want this, Like like when they announced it, 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.600 I was like, I don't want Miles. I like, I 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.400 want to see Miles, you know an actor. Yeah, because 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.240 he's Puerto Rican. I'm Puerto Rican, you know what I'm saying. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.080 So I'm like, Okay, this is dope because you know 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.919 we're gonna get like we're getting a first of all 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.000 Afro Latino representation on the big screen. He's from Brooklyn, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.119 My family's from Brooklyn, Like it just kind of felt like, Okay, 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.560 this is dope. But then like when it actually came out, 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.080 like into the Spider Verse, became like one of my 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.120 favorite superhero movies of all time. And I think the 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.120 two of them alone are really the best Spider Man 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.440 movies ever created. And it's weird because it's animated, so 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.839 you wouldn't no Meal think that, But I like, I like. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.360 The new one way better than I like like the 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:46.480 Tom Holland once. For sure. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.160 I think I agree with you man the time. You 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.800 know what the one is that last time Holland won, 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.040 when it's just got that one moment where all the 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.640 Spider Man come together and you're just like, ah, it's 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:56.839 like this is crazy. 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.040 But have you rewatched it, like after the fact. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.000 It's not as great when you rewatch it, for sure. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:03.880 You're right, Like it's like it's just like one of 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.960 those in theater moments that you remember, almost like an endgame, 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.000 you know what I'm saying, Like it's it's but yeah, 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:10.720 the Spider for shit is lit. So look, let's get 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:15.120 to you obviously built this platform. Yeah, was on the 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:21.760 radar something that you had always kind of like because 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.960 I think early on I was seeing you were doing 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.280 stuff during the pandemic on like zoom YEP and what 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.440 everybody was doing, right, we all had to do that. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.680 So when did you initially would you launch on the 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.320 Radar during the pandemic or was it prior to the pandemic? Like, 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:36.719 give me the kind of the history. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.880 Well, like on the Radar started in twenty eighteen, so 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.480 like I originally had the idea because for me, like, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.279 you know, I'm twenty six, so I was twenty eighteen. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.880 I was like I was like twenty one, twenty twoish, 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.320 and my biggest thing for me back then was like 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.520 I you know, I was a young kid, and I 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.320 was listening to like, you know, the little Uzi Versy 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.880 Yatis and the whatnot, and I would see them go 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.360 on different platforms, and I just felt like they weren't 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.640 really under stood by you know. You think about like 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.719 the infamous Joe Budden moment with him and YACHTI, and 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:04.160 it's like. 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.279 Even like the ebro one where they were like trying 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.080 to get him a rap over some premo shit. 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.920 Right, And I don't necessarily blame them for those moments, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.240 you know what I'm saying, because you know, they just 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.719 didn't understand their generation, right, you know what I'm saying, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.920 they're younger kids, right, So I felt like at that time, 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.480 I was like, damn, like I don't really see them 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.760 being represented properly in a media space. And I didn't 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.640 really see anybody and my age really being able to 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.760 be in this media space and also kind of be 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.120 that kind of that like that person that's able to 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.520 grab them and help them, you know, be presented properly 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:37.720 the way that like, you know, you think of like 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.320 an Angree Martinez in the nineties with with with everybody 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.520 from New York, or you think of or bless you, 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.279 or you think of whom I Who am I thinking 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.119 of Columbia Radio Station. I don't know why I'm blanking 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.400 right now stretching Bobido right like or how stretching Barbido 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:55.880 was there to help bring. 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.320 Up Biggie Wu Tang. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:58.320 They had like some of. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.760 Their first you think about those, and like, I wanted 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.960 to do something like that for this generation. So I 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.120 came up with the idea back in like the summer 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.360 of twenty eighteen, right after I graduated college. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:12.040 You know, I kind of. 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:13.400 Presumed were you already at power? 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:14.120 Yeah, yeah, I was. 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.560 Already full time on the digital side of things. I 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.400 was part of the Andrew Martinez Show. I helped that 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.160 with Breakfast Club. So I did a little bit of everything, 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.480 and when it came to like creating this space, I 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.120 was like, you know, I wanted it to be like 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.040 on the radio station, but they were like, you know 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.560 what's build it on your own, you know what I'm saying, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.440 Like kind of started getting going. They had a room 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:31.880 there that I could use. It was the same room 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.920 that Charlotte used to film Brilliant Idiots in. So I 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.400 was just filming like one interview a day or like 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.920 one interview a week, something like that, and it was 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.200 just I was finding anybody and anybody and everybody I 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.440 can interview, just trying to start building my connection. So 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.040 I was doing that for a while and then I 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.960 started making more younger friends in the industry, and that's 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.400 how I ended up getting up some bigger artists, started 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.400 getting a little more recognition in New York, and then 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.000 the pandemic came, and like right before the pandemic, I 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.800 did this interview with Bankroll Freddie and like that was 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.680 kind of like my biggest interview at the time.

And then it kind of 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:10.920 came to a point where it was like we had 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.120 I figured out this rhythm with the content. I'm like, okay, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.680 I think I know what I'm doing now.

And 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.200 then kind of from there we just kind of caught 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:45.880 this wave. We caught the drill wave in New York 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:46.760 and then I. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:48.320 Fyle Ice Spice. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:49.800 Yeah, Ice Spice.

Yeah, I was talking that 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:22.600 before I came here. 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:23.520 That was messy for sure. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:24.240 That was definitely. 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.680 But that's not you trying to be messy, like you're 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.800 just doing the interview. Like it's like you're not the 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.040 messy one there in this case. You're just asking questions 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.840 that people want to know for sure, and it's not 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.560 like it's not like you're not perfectly like I mean, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.480 at the end of the day, like it's interesting conversation, 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.720 like right, we're the first interview to do both of 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.360 them together, and like people are interested in them. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:41.600 You know. 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.400 No matter how many times I mute, I mute Blue 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.040 Face's name from my timeline, somehow I always popped heavy Chris, 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:49.160 I always pop back. 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.560 Up it will always pop up. Man, So what do 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.840 you kind of remember, like what video for you kind 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.600 of made you realize like, oh there's something here that 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.400 like I can leave. I was about say ninety seven 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:06.960 damn sorry, sorry, sorry to leave Power one oh five 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.400 and kind of just go full time with your own shit. 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.160 Well I'm still at Power. I still do my radio 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.200 shows at Power, but like leaving my I'm. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.040 Talking about your full time Yeah, the full time doing 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.960 the social media director thing. Yeah, the show's on the 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:19.480 air right. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.000 Yeah, shows on Friday nights as well too. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:21.399 Yeah. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.880 I you know, I think it was really kind of 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.680 when the motion started going on, when we caught the 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.639 second wave of drill music but like kflocking them and 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.600 the Bronx, Like that's when I was like, okay, there's 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.640 something here that we can really tap into. And then 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.520 it was just kind of like over time, like the 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.919 reason why I had to leave that position. It was 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.040 just like, you know, I caught myself at times being 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.400 like I like, I don't care about this as much 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:44.800 as I care about on the radar, you know what 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.160 I'm saying. Like I I wasn't in like the most 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.080 like financially stable place where I was like okay, like 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.679 I could do on the radar full time, but like 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.680 it was getting to the point where my brain couldn't 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.720 handle doing this other job and doing on the radar. 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:58.320 And it kind of like felt like to the point 0:17:58.320 --> 0:17:59.600 where it's like, not that. 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.679 I'm wasting It didn't feel like I was wasting my 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.280 time doing that position, but it felt like that energy 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.359 that I'm doing at that the energy I was given 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.520 that job. If I put it into on the radar, 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.680 I could go, you know, And and you know, everybody 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.080 at Power is very supportive of that decision, like they're like, look, man, 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.639 like you have something special. You know, I think you should. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.080 You should, you know, take the chance on it. And 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:21.800 then it was just like, you know, we went with it, 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:23.800 and you know, we caught that drill wave early. We 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.560 caught like you know, like you said, the ice spices, 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.960 the d things, you had the four to one guy, 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.800 you had jenn and you had Jennen coll up here. 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.160 Yeah, that freestyle for y'all, it was crazy. 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.080 Sixteen M yeah, sixteen M. 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.720 It's crazy. Yeah. But you know, isn't that on DP. 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.720 That one isn't They kind of they turned two of 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.680 those records. I think into songs, but not every piece 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.840 of that was ever released on streaming. But that's also 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.080 something we learned early on too, that you know that 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.000 we all kind of we don't regret it now, but 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.399 like now when you look back at it in twenty 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.680 twenty three, like it's like damn, Like if we kind 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.520 of had our shit to get the way that we 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.000 have now with streaming services, that could have just gone. 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:04.920 Same with Ice Spice, Like we probably could have gotten 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.119 Ice Spic's freestyle on streaming if this was, you know, 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.240 a year and a half ago before she blew up. 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.040 But I think that's all part of the learning process. 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:13.520 You know. I wish I could have had these on streaming. 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.679 I wish I could have had these records under my name, But. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.560 You never know, man, Like you know, like you said, 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.000 like you gotta you gotta learn as you go, brother, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.320 Like this shit is there's no there's no roadmap to 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.800 this shit.

I feel like you're the premier 0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:58.640 freestyle platform now. I feel like you guys, what you 0:31:58.680 --> 0:32:00.800 guys are doing is more important. Know what the Leakers do? 0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:04.880 Flex is flex, you know, so flex is gonna get 0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:07.240 like yeah, he legend regardless the Conway shit that just 0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:09.760 happened was crazy. Like I mean, I still watch the 0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:11.360 Black Thought one like once a week if. 0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:14.160 Me are obviously Meek Mill and the Tory Lane's ones, 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:14.800 I always watch. 0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:17.280 But I was gonna say for you, like, you know, 0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:19.840 we do we do freestyles here. We drop like two 0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:21.560 probably one or two a week. It just depends on 0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:23.760 what happens here. But like you guys have really dug 0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.760 your heels into the freestyle lane and it's it's been 0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:29.480 dope to see because I feel like like you said, 0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:34.440 like being in New York there is like you can't 0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:37.240 you can't just be anybody and go see flex. You 0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.120 know what I'm saying, Like, you gotta have a certain 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.200 it's gotta makes sense for him you know what I mean, 0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.360 for you, you're giving people platforms that you just believe 0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:47.240 in or that you're like, hey, I think this person's dope. 0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:49.160 I think more people should have eyes on these on 0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:53.040 this person. So do you when you see like a 0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:54.600 list like that come out, do you feel like you 0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:56.920 deserve more acknowledgment when it comes to certain shit like that? 0:32:57.040 --> 0:32:59.200 Or you, I mean, you're still like a relatively new platform, 0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:00.960 but like what your thoughts on that kind of shit? 0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:04.720 I mean obviously, like you know, I'm like, first of all, 0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:06.320 thank you for the for the for the common words, 0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:07.880 and like also kind of just going off what you 0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:09.520 said about giving people a chance, Like the one thing 0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:11.040 I want to say about on the Radar is I like, 0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:12.840 the reason why on the Radar is what it is 0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:14.880 is because my goal for it is to be able 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.200 for you to have a meek mill or a little 0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:19.600 baby on there. But then also, Lil homie from down 0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:21.400 the block, you feel me because I feel like there's 0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:24.000 no place where you marry all those things into one place. 0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:26.840 That's just about the culture, about hip hop, about music 0:33:26.880 --> 0:33:29.400 in general, right, But when I see things like that, 0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:31.760 like of course, like I'm like, man, like you know 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.280 I was bummed out about it, but like I've been 0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:36.640 the underdog for so long in my life and in 0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:39.440 my career that like it doesn't phaze me because I know, 0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.000 you know, the numbers are like like I don't like 0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:43.240 to be the person like look at the numbers, but 0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:45.000 the numbers are there.

I would say we're more known 0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:26.319 for interviews, you know, of course, So like I got 0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:28.560 to hit artists sometimes and be like, hey, I know 0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:30.880 you come to LA, make sure you got the other 0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:33.280 clip ready, you know what I mean, Like save me something, 0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:35.080 you know what I mean. But but y'all, I feel 0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:37.800 like now if people come to New York like they're 0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:41.360 coming there to do your shit, yeah, I think you know, 0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:43.560 even like because flex is a lot harder to get onto, 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:45.600 you know what I mean? Like, so like do you 0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:47.840 do you guys have those conversations like hey, look just 0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:49.880 just do something, man, if you like it, we'll use it. 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:52.280 If not we'll scrap it, Like hell yeah, we definitely 0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:52.960 have those commos. 0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:54.920 Like I also give artists like the opportunity like, look, 0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:56.319 if you don't want to do a freestyle, like, let's 0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:57.440 get a performance video out of you. 0:40:57.840 --> 0:40:59.360 Ud. I know y'all do that, like you did the 0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:00.880 Sexy Read performance. 0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:03.600 Exactly yeah, which which one of the funniest things we 0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:06.200 ever shot too. But like Annalie Choppa did a performance 0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:09.880 with his dude Gino. It's two times four times. I'm 0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:12.440 sorry if I say that wrong, Bro, I'm sorry. But 0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:14.360 like he did a performance off the deluxe off of 0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:16.799 Condomwood too, which is totally cool because it still went 0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:18.520 crazy regardless because at the end the day, not a 0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:19.920 lot of people knew that song. So a lot of 0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:21.239 people in the comments like, oh, this is a fire 0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:23.360 freestyles far even though it's people don't know how to 0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:25.280 read too. By the way, it's like it says performance 0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:27.160 at the bottom, but regardless, but I just try to 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:28.560 get something out of that. I'm like, look, if you 0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:30.200 don't like it, maybe come do a lip sync of 0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:31.680 like a song that you have on the project, like 0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:34.200 like something, let's just do something, you know what I'm saying. 0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:36.920 Because I like maximizing content, Like you're there, you're there 0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:39.000 for an hour, it's like a twenty thirty minute interview 0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:41.480 sometimes depending how talkative you are. And then you know, 0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:43.400 then if you do a lip sync, it takes like 0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:46.120 ten minutes not even to get that done. But you know, 0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:48.680 most people already know.
