Speaker 6: So we have a fifty million dollar fun at Uncle

160
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 6: Nier's where we take bipoc brands and help them realize

161
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 6: their dreams. If they have great product, good package, or whatever,

162
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 6: we try to get involved and help them. Well, this

163
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 6: came along at a time when we had picked several

164
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 6: and we really didn't have room for them on the

165
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 6: business side of that function, and so Fon called me

166
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 6: one day. It's like, yo, I tried this Haitian Cremos

167
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 6: inspired cream liquor and I'm lactose intolerant and it did

168
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 6: nothing to me. I was like, what is it low

169
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 6: one lactose and she was like, yes, like I don't

170
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 6: feel anything. You should try because I'm lactose intolerant too.

171
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 6: So I was like, send it to me. So when

172
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 6: I saw the bottle, I was like, this bottle is crazy.

173
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 6: It looked like some ancient an African album less like stinky.

174
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 6: And I tasted it and I was like, this is delicious.

175
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 6: I was like, how do we get involved? She said, well,

176
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 6: they need investment. If you want to go in, I'm

177
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 6: going with you personally. So it was the beginning of

178
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 6: the pandemic. I bought ten percent of the company, she

179
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 6: bought twenty percent of the company, and we went head

180
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 6: over heels and we redesigned the packaging. Reach out to

181
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 6: Miriams and Stevens. They have built probably the best cream

182
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: in the business, and we're on fire.

183
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: We just had a.

184
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 6: Twelve million dollars evaluation eighteen months later and that's incredible.

185
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 4: It's moving. Cream is the new champagne. Cream. Cream rules

186
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: everything around me. I television really. So I want to

187
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: talk about before we go through the line.

188
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 5: Let's talk about just division and what is the what's

189
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 5: your involvement as far as expanding your portfolio of liquor

190
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 5: because you were involved with Uncle Norris.

191
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 6: Now I see three other bottles. Yeah, well, I'm actually

192
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 6: an investor in Uncle there, so I'm not just involved.

193
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 6: I don't like the way you put them. Yeah, that's key,

194
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 6: This is true.

195
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 4: I went from seventy five cent a share to twenty

196
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: five dollars a shit. That's different. Yeah, it different.

197
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 6: That's important. So I had it with a couple of

198
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 6: hundred thousand shit, you know what I mean. So you

199
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 6: can't really do.

200
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 4: The knowledge like that. Somebody's doing the math on that

201
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: right now. Somebody's adding up right now, small us. So

202
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: talk about the portfolio. You're even your vision of growing.

203
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: Your portfolio of spirits because I know you were a

204
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 5: brand ambassador for years, yes, then you became have ownership.

205
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 5: Now you have all of these different things. So what's

206
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 5: the thought process behind that.

207
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 6: Well, I mean I was an ambassador supporting other spirits

208
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 6: and making them a lot of money. And you know,

209
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 6: I started out at Rockefeller with Damon Armadale, So I

210
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 6: was a part of the introduction to hip hop as

211
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 6: far as ownership and liquor. You know, I don't know

212
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 6: if you remember back then, but Jay was Belvedere in

213
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 6: every record was and so it was like I never

214
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 6: I think it was an ad or something that had

215
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 6: like a stick figure what the New York Yankees had

216
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 6: on in the in the Belvedere ad, Like it was

217
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 6: the weirdest like ad ever seen. But I know that

218
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 6: Dame and Jay at the time really wanted to you know,

219
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 6: own their own stuff, you know what I mean, And

220
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 6: that was clothing that was out, that was anything they

221
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 6: were highly contributing to and culture and that was my

222
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 6: first entre into it. And to be honest, if they

223
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 6: had never gotten into their thing, I think that could

224
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 6: have been a big deal because it was everywhere and.

225
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 4: They were great was everywhere. What happened to Armadale.

226
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 3: I don't know they start Armadale popping.

227
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: But it's sad because they literally were the first on

228
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 6: the red carpets in the films, and it was everywhere,

229
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 6: had that bottle everywhere everywhere. Dance with Armadale. Yeah, he

230
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 6: was early, you know what I mean. But then Puff

231
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 6: picked up the formula and lights out Joe Jackson. Yeah,

232
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 6: And I never forget Jackie Lee actually, who worked with THEO,

233
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 6: had a whole plan with that, Like she was the one,

234
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 6: if I'm not mistaken, who introduced Puffed that opportunity. And

235
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 6: you know, I'm sure he would say probably one of

236
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 6: the best things that ever happened to him. So when

237
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 6: y'all interview him, you know what I mean, Jackie Lee.

238
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 6: But yeah, no, So I just saw I saw how

239
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 6: people were, like, you know, basically like minded spirits, fashion

240
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 6: things of that nature. They were investing in them, and

241
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 6: I wanted to do the same. You know, I was

242
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 6: a spirit whisperer a long time, and then it made

243
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 6: sense to go into ownership.

244
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: When you're looking at the spirits industry, are you having

245
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: a checkboard as to like I need to get a tequila,

246
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: I need a vodka, I need a Kanyac.

247
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: I have a look or is that how you're approaching this?

248
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 6: Absolutely and my latest investment, great segue, you're a professional.

249
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: This bay app Jin in this Voosovaka are African owned

250
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, African made spirits and there has never been

251
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 6: a black own spirit to come out of Africa. It

252
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 6: almost sounds outrageous really say that, right, So you look

253
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 6: at Amarula, you look at all the things that are

254
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 6: on the shelf that are African. They're not owned by

255
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 6: a black person. So one of the things that attracted

256
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 6: me with this brand. You can see it. I mean,

257
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 6: just look at the details. I mean, it's African on

258
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 6: all the botanicals come from all over Africa, so it's

259
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 6: not a region in particular that we're stuck to. But

260
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 6: the packaging is amazing and then the juice can piece

261
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 6: with any juice in the categories specific categories. You know,

262
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 6: Rashad didn't want to hold it too long because you know,

263
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 6: he's he's a personality now.

264
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: So he gets paid for what he endorses. Sugar. Yeah, no,

265
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: it's a sugarcane romp.

266
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 6: And so for me, like when I to your question,

267
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 6: I'm looking for partners that are really about that, you

268
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 6: know that growth of you know said brands, right, and

269
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 6: with the Spearhead Group, because that's the company I invested in.

270
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 6: It owns Vusovakia, bayv Gin. They're blue print is all

271
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 6: botanicals from the continent, the diaspora, which is everywhere in

272
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 6: the world. And this next play, and I'm going to

273
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 6: give you an exclusive this next play. You know, the

274
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 6: only reason tequila is called tequila is because of the

275
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 6: region of Mexico. Right, Africa, which I did not know,

276
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 6: is the second largest grower of a govey in the world,

277
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 6: So that would be our next expression.

278
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 4: It will be called Africa a govet. It's gonna change

279
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 4: the game.

280
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: So when you're invested in these companies you have mentioned

281
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: like you're doing this through a group or this is

282
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 5: like just your own personal somebody's coming up to you

283
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: and you just liked it, and you're just like.

284
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 6: No, this came from our incubator program too. And Fawn

285
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 6: had already identified a gen if I'm not mistaken, So

286
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 6: it comes all the fallout comes to me. So say

287
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 6: her name correctly, Fawn Weaver, right, Fawn Weaver my spirit animal.

288
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 6: So she is the person that started open Ears.

289
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: He is the founder. She's the founder of Oat of

290
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 4: Uncle Near's Whiskey. So then she brought you in as

291
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: a part owner in Uncle Nears.

292
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 5: Yes, you develop a relationship with her. Yes, she's involved

293
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 5: in all these liquors as well.

294
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 6: She's only involved in this one, this spirithead Spirits, which

295
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 6: is Lusovaka by Mgen. I ventured out on my own

296
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 6: just by yourself. Yes, well not by myself. I went

297
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 6: to Pendulum, a black owned fund out of La Big

298
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 6: Shot to Robbie and dareda Robinson. They gave you know,

299
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 6: a bunch of money to help.

300
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: So how did that work? You connect? Just explain how

301
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: you got involved?

302
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, you know, in life, guys, you have

303
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 6: an opportunity to bring people to the table or do

304
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 6: it yourself. I've been a master of you know, putting

305
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 6: up my money on some in some instances and then

306
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 6: raising money and the other they're getting the same percentages

307
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 6: in amount. So it's got to figure out how you

308
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 6: want to play. Sometimes you're liquid, you can let go

309
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 6: of a million dollars. Sometimes you can raise three and

310
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 6: a half million dollars for ten percent ownership or stake.

311
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 6: And you know, in a business, so you just got to.

312
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 4: Be and tent.

313
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: The ls cream is interesting because I want to really

314
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 5: handle this home and people didn't notice. So we interviewed

315
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 5: them a couple out of Montreal and that was during COVID,

316
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 5: So we did it on Zoom Miriam and Stevens yep.

317
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 5: And so that was before your involvement. So they approached you, guys,

318
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: or you approached them again. It came from farm. She

319
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 5: introduced us. I'm saying, how did she get involved in it?

320
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 4: You know, it came.

321
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 6: It came to us as a possible incubator opportunity, which

322
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 6: I mentioned, and we we loved it so much. It

323
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 6: couldn't go through the incubator at that time, so we

324
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 6: just went ahead and rocked out and invested our own

325
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 6: personal money.

326
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: I want to we can we go back to the conversation.

327
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely, So that was so big. I don't even know

328
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 4: how y'all let that. I'm not letting go. I'm not

329
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: gonna let it go.

330
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: African God, Yeah, I'm not gonna let it go because it.

331
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: Black, black tequila. The fuck. We're not gonna let it go. Yeah.

332
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: Uh So it grows through other parts.

333
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: Of the world, absolutely, America and the Caribbean.

334
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 4: It grows in a bunch of places, I'm sure, but

335
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: the mount that grows is the significance, the amount that grows.

336
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: So Africa, if there's a specific region or we're talking

337
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: about all throughout the continent where it's growing. But is

338
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: it being exported imported sometimes like we have natural resources,

339
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 3: but we don't have the infrastructure to export it, yes

340
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: or find it.

341
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: So in Africa is where we are.

342
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, Africa is very low in resources because we actually

343
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 6: have power outages, you know what I'm saying with distilleries

344
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 6: and things that we use to what part of the

345
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 6: continent that we're in we're in, like South Africa, okay,

346
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 6: but West Africa. I mean it's it's regions and pockets.

347
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 6: I don't know the actual region that has the most,

348
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 6: but the continent as itself, you know, in itself is

349
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: like Mexico and the right that they have the biggest

350
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 6: crops in the world, obviously Mexico being the number one.

351
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I asked because I mean a lot of people

352
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: think like, hey, I don't have the money to invest

353
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: into spirits, but there's other opportunities in side of spirits,

354
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 3: and so being a part of some establishment that is

355
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: creating the refinery or figure out how we actually come

356
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 3: a transporter because it has to get to us. It

357
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: has to and so there's other opportunities inside of it.

358
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, but the continent of Africa is the most bassardized

359
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 6: continent in the world. Like people come there for resources

360
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 6: all the time with no credit or lifeline either.

361
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 4: They just take and go.

362
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 6: But to your point, the distribution needed in Africa, there's

363
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 6: electricity needed, you know, That's why a CON's going had.

364
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 6: I'm saying, we're trying to light up Africa with this

365
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 6: new electrical grid movement. He started, like, so there's so

366
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 6: many opportunities and they're all yields and leans to a

367
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 6: lot of different businesses. I mean, Africa probably has the

368
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 6: most opportunity in the world for growth as far as

369
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 6: business is concerned. So yeah, and I actually was talking

370
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 6: about big shots at Demola and Chris who are who're

371
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 6: the founders of Spirhead Spirits they you know, we were

372
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 6: having a conversation the other day and as we're you know,

373
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 6: doing having these one concerns with you know, you know,

374
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 6: distilleries and things of that nature, and how we're adding

375
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 6: solar panels here and we're doing this in case, you know,

376
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 6: the power goes out. So I'm telling them, like yo,

377
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 6: make it bigger, and this needs to be spirits. It

378
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 6: might need to be distribution hubs in East West and

379
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 6: South Africa, North Africa, so you know, opportunities everywhere. But

380
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 6: I suggest to your point people look into this business

381
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 6: of spirits and see the many different opportunities outside of

382
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 6: just making an actual product. And if you want to

383
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 6: go to product route, see what's not in the in

384
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 6: the market.

385
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 4: All of my.

386
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 6: Brands tell a story. Haitian Kremos is much like Okeetha's.

387
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. As far as the Spanish

388
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 6: community is concerned, you know what I mean, that's legendary.

389
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 6: There's not a household that you can probably go to

390
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 6: making that, you know what I mean. And so when

391
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 6: you bring something like that to life and then way

392
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: it tastes better than Bailey's, all you gotta do is

393
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 6: is we call it love at first sit when you

394
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 6: taste it as over?

395
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 4: Can we have that? Can we have that bottle? I

396
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 4: brought you more than one? Actually that's that's why, brother,

397
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: how is we're loved?

398
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: This?

399
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 4: This is love.

400
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: That's a fact and this is a really we've had

401
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: it for it's great licre. How cash intensive is it

402
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: if somebody wants to invest in a product, is it

403
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: something that could be five figures or is it six figures?

404
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: I mean it could go. Yeah, you have to be

405
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 4: funded to do anything.

406
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 6: Well, they're gonna act like you can just get into

407
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 6: the business and say, oh, I have a you know

408
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 6: what I mean because if it's wine, if it's beer

409
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 6: and wine, a beer probably the lowest platforms and spirits

410
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 6: that you can enter with not a whole lot of money,

411
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 6: probably under five figures.

412
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 4: But then you get at the distribution. If you walk into.

413
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 6: Publics or you know, whole foods, wherever you shop, there's

414
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 6: eight hundred thousand wines, there's eight hundred thousand beers. And

415
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 6: they're not saying literally, I'm saying figuratively. From the standpoint,

416
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 6: there's a lot of competition. So you guys see one

417
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 6: how you're gonna penetrate the market. Again, I would focus

418
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 6: on markets that you know don't have what you're offering,

419
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 6: and there's many things to put your spin on. That's

420
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 6: another thing I would encourage people to do. It's like

421
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 6: we're going into the technical well, they call it tequila,

422
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 6: but the African nagave business. But there's no African agave.

423
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 6: Why do you think we're so excited. The industry's gonna

424
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 6: hear that and they're gonna gone right, And you can

425
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 6: only do that where in Africa. Anybody can go to

426
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 6: tequila and find tequila brand. That was actually the first

427
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 6: thing I ever invested. It was called tequila. This thing

428
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 6: g though it means distinguished in Spanish. We went down there,

429
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 6: we had the gun armored all that because the President's

430
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 6: son just got kidding.

431
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 4: That was a whole experience.

432
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 6: But you know, it is like a thing where like

433
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 6: timing plays in it for me, or has played in

434
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 6: it for me, and I think it plays in it

435
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 6: for other investors that want to get into You have

436
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 6: to you got to really learn about it. I was

437
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 6: an ambassador for other brands for damn near fifteen years

438
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 6: before I owned anything.

439
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 5: So let's talk about the marketing because that's probably the

440
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 5: most important thing when it comes to liquor. And I

441
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 5: know lifestyle specialists, so you have a background and making

442
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 5: brands hot marketing. So traditionally the marketing plays and correct

443
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 5: me if I'm wrong. For the liquor brands from our community.

444
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 5: Aspect of it was get it hot in the nightclubs, right, yes,

445
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 5: get it hot in the nightclubs. Everybody follow that blueprint.

446
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: Diddy with the DJs to rock boys fifty cent. Now

447
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 5: he does these activations for his liquor in all these clubs.

448
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: Get it high in the night clubs because people buy bottles,

449
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 5: and but these aren't. Really doesn't seem like the type

450
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 5: of bot this isn't bottles, it is not. So what's

451
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 5: your what's your marketing plan for this?

452
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 4: Well?

453
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 6: Great question you're getting, you know, episode forty to now.

454
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 6: I want to say that you can see the girl

455
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 6: appreciate your intelligence levels always it's the personality side that's

456
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 6: caught up with it.

457
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 4: You know. That's a great point. And when Fauner.

458
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 6: Initially approached me, I'm like, oh, I knew one hundred

459
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 6: thousand cas deal here, I can do twenty five thousand

460
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 6: cases then, so I don't want any of that. She said,

461
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 6: this is a brand that will stand aside Jack Daniels,

462
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 6: Johnny Waller, you know what I mean, like all the

463
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 6: legacy brands, and we have to treat it as such.

464
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 6: And I'm like, what does that mean like I knew

465
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 6: what it meant, but I'm like, what does that.

466
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 4: Mean for us? Right now? You're coming to me. I

467
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 4: want to say, able to live on Sunday? But you

468
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: feel this right? She used to hate when I did that.

469
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 6: But the key though, is like I understood one way.

470
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 6: Let's make this hot right now. I'm gonna put you

471
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 6: in lax in DC. My own and off premise game

472
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 6: is legendary. I got every relationship in the world. But

473
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 6: she was like, I don't want that. I want your

474
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 6: relationship with the culture. And I was like, oh, okay,

475
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 6: I'm starting to get it. She told me eighty percent

476
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 6: of whiskey drinkers as white men, you know what I mean.

477
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 6: She started really breaking down the approach right, and she

478
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 6: trusted me with Black America to keep people at bay

479
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 6: because you know, as soon as came out.

480
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 4: Like ah, white is stolen white men, you know what

481
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 4: I mean?

482
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 6: And I had to be like, yo, this is the story,

483
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 6: this is what it is. I went you remember I

484
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 6: was on Breakfast Club. When I was I was doing

485
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 6: all these interviews where initially and then it was my

486
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 6: job to handle you know, black culture, Like, no, this

487
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 6: is bigger than anything you can imagine now, mind you,

488
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 6: she's a black woman in the height of me too.

489
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 6: She's in the height of black women finally get their

490
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 6: do access granted all that, and you know she knew

491
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 6: she had an agenda. So to your point, none of

492
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 6: this was built on the facade that is the club. Now,

493
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 6: mind you, we know a million brands that didn't make

494
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 6: it in the club. The club was good for the

495
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 6: moments like Puff benefited. You know, Jay benefited with a

496
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 6: suspended fifty initially when he had the other brands. This

497
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 6: was before the brands, and then what was the thing

498
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 6: called he had.

499
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 4: F Finn like you know what I'm saying. So they

500
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 4: were rocking I know, I know the Cucumber I know.

501
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 5: More so, and even the other brands that wasn't part

502
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 5: of our culture that benefited from it, like like Grey Goose,

503
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 5: I was like, what's the other Well, Chris.

504
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 4: Put them on their head. Though eventually what's.

505
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 5: The the Jamie Fox had the song?

506
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 4: The shot was what was that? What was that tequila

507
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: that everybody was drinking at one time? Yeah? Fact, but great.

508
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 6: I'm glad you brought that up because I don't think

509
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 6: people understand that the lifestyle and landscape has changed. There's

510
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 6: no mega clubs no more. You're not going to a

511
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 6: club with fifty seven booths no more. Like all last dead.

512
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 6: Everybody they want cocktails, you know what I mean? And

513
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 6: I was the Britain's Uncle Nears. This was door to door,

514
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 6: every on and off premise. You know what I'm saying.

515
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 6: Place that existed, that believed in legacy, believed in here,

516
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 6: it is believed in tradition. Things that people don't adhere

517
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 6: to in the marketing space, they want like puff is

518
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 6: the goat at putting, Like I don't know, they just

519
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 6: came out with the honey dude, what's the latest one?

520
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 4: Right? But he is running the flavor like this is

521
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 4: not a this no, but he gets it.

522
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 6: I was there when when Pineapple went crazy, but then

523
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 6: Apple came and not Pineapple out the way and then Mango.

524
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: Right.

525
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 6: So the point I'm trying to make it is like

526
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 6: it's a new day. The lifestyle landscape is changing. People

527
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 6: don't they want experiences. They want to have more things

528
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 6: that they can connect to because a lot of people

529
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 6: everybody can't get bottle service. Everybody can't get the sections

530
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 6: and now the sections are so disgusting with the hookahs.

531
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 4: Twenty four dudes.

532
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, three girls and in twenty

533
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 6: seven tentacles.

534
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying in.

535
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 6: Four bottles that doesn't even add up. Girls have like

536
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 6: hookah burn marks. You know what I'm saying, contraw ratio

537
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 6: to your point, I think people need to get into Like,

538
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 6: if you're really into this, you need to get into

539
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 6: the If you're not following me, you should be right

540
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: any But I do this thing called feel good Friday,

541
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 6: and every feel good Friday.

542
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 4: I'm bringing on a mix knowledge to get you an experience.

543
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 6: It's all about the experience, and that's what culture is

544
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 6: so change too high in luxury.

545
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 4: It's not only higher luxury, it's taste level.

546
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 6: Culture has lost it's taste level and pun intended but

547
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 6: you get what I'm saying, But it's lost it's taste level.

548
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 6: Like the thing about you I heard earlier, I was

549
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,159

551
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 6: a service, you know what I mean. The expectations are

552
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 6: so low because we continue to accept mediocrity. No, I

553
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 6: don't need you d nice. He doesn't announce acts anymore.

554
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 6: He just sells out for your follow and then tell.

555
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 4: You who's going to perform. That's a taste level.

Speaker 6: I'm I speak prophecy forecaster. I was telling y'all about

564
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 6: how important the culture piece is going to be. I

565
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 6: told you how I love the information and how it's

566
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 6: actual information that people could use, not only used, but

567
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 6: here and digest. But the culture piece. That's why I'll

568
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 6: be on y'all about the first, you know, like the

569
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 6: first I called you about the first, Like the first,

570
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 6: what was your issue about the firm?

571
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 4: That was? That was all you about? The we did,

572
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 4: but we spoke about it, but it's not. It's not

573
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 4: it was not listen.

574
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 6: It was first of all, it's massive square garden to

575
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 6: you in your hometown, feeling dreams right right right, don't

576
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 6: wear first.

577
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 4: Well, here's why, there's a couple of things. Don't wear.

578
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 4: It's not a bad thing. It's a couple of things though,

579
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 4: right do you have you do you wear first? Legitimately

580
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 4: not regularly. We don't care. We're not gonna go find

581
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 4: a picture right now of being except that day. So

582
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 4: it's a big day. First of all.

583
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 6: It's the listen, think about when we do you feel

584
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, what you're saying.

585
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, right, we're paying how much to

586
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: a moment in time? Right, So like when we we

587
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: had that phone call, like yo, we should do this.

588
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: We're going back and forth with each other, like, yo,

589
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: let's play homage to that hate me now ever we

590
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: wanted to feel like that. But when people when when

591
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 3: people think about the garden, they think that the Ali

592
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: Phraser fright, they remember the Frank Lucas seen when he

593
00:28:59,320 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: had the fur on.

594
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: It's culture. They have who is this guy? He's arrived.

595
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 6: We don't know who, but y'all have transcended what you

596
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 6: thought you created.

597
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 4: But no, no, no, listen, this is not it's not a

598

603
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 6: I'm not saying you say the biggest ever with confidence.

604
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,120

00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 6: more and you wear first first makes sense.

622
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 4: But the shock and all, I don't see y'all as

623
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 4: shocking all.

624
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 6: I just see y'all as contributors to culture, and we

625
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 6: can redefine that because it needs to be redefined. Cultural cribs, curators, Yeah,

626
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 6: your past, curation, your culture. And now see people bastardize

627
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 6: the word. Culture is tradition, Culture is heritage. Everything you

628
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 6: do is with the fuckers parents was supposed to do

629
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 6: with their brothers and siblings, and educators are supposed to do.

630
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: That's what y'all do. That's the difference.

631
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 6: And we and I was sitting over there like I mean,

632
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 6: like I helped you create it. I was really when

633
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 6: he did that, and you you y'all started talking about

634
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 6: holding culture response. That's all I've ever tried to do.

635
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 6: People could take whatever I say, but I also say

636
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 6: that Puff inspired the ship out of me. I would

637
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 6: not be here without him. To your point, your point

638
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 6: where y'all were talking about people that are here that

639
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 6: you have to award for the blueprint and participation. Now,

640
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 6: we're not gonna let you jump off the bridge, but

641
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 6: that's where we take over. That's what y'all take over.

642
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 6: You take over by accountability. Now I'm gonna outdo somebody

643
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 6: and this this compan this this shock and all ship

644
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 6: is disgusting. It's disgusting, but y'all are showing up right,

645
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 6: and it's valid when you go encourage.

646
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 5: You appreciate it from a decent man. Appreciate it, brother,

649
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 6: By the way, shot you're gonna you're gonna figure out

650
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 6: a way. Six years old, he's gonna figure out a way.

651
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 4: Speaking of speaking of cultural conscutives, I.

652
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: Said before you do that, I like the word tradition

653
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: because what we're doing is paying how much, but we

654
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: carry on the tradition of what we saw.

655
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 4: You have to carry on. You have to carry on

656
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 4: tradition while fixing the mishaps.

657
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: Because we watch tradition and we watch how it's being fumbled.

658
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 4: Like you commented on I put I put Rich Porter

659
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 4: in my story. Glad you pay attention to my comments.

660
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: Of course, I put Rich Porter in my story.

661
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 5: And it's the legendary picture when he's in Hawaii with

662
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 5: the pineapple and he had two presidential rolexes, one on

663
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 5: each arm. And I made a comment and I'm like

664
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 5: Rich Porter nineteen eighty seven, and you hit me, and

665
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 5: you was like, I forgot what it was saying but

666
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 5: it was like, what you're doing is more beneficial.

667
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 4: It's like it should be glamored.

668
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 5: Like and I get it, and I understand that, and

669
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 5: you're completely right because for so along, you know, we've.

670
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 4: Glamorized we've talked to though we were talked.

671
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 5: To, right, and it's like, you know, and that's not

672
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 5: in the grand scheme of things, that's not something that

673
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 5: should be glamorized.

674
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 4: But it is part of our culture.

675
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 5: So if we could take the best elements of that,

676
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 5: but then kind of So that's why even like, okay,

677
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 5: this is the lawsuit. This is inspired by an eighties

678

Speaker 5: drug dealer, but we're not selling drugs. Were teaching financial literacy.

679

Speaker 4: No, listen, have you ever sold drugs? No? Have you

680
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 4: ever sold drugs? No?

681
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 6: Okay, So that's the reason, and that's it. It's authenticity.

682
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 6: You have your own swag.

683
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,400

684
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: people you inspired to be.

685
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:36,560

Speaker 6: I did, right, But I also got locked up one

701
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 6: time and chose a different path for my life. So

702
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,480

Speaker 6: you been given the chance, if you had been judged

704
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 6: on your first defense and not part of the biggest

705
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 6: drug consperiency in the history or whatever whatever. Then you

707
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 6: know they were that was some big things, right, But

00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 6: if you had the chance, you.

709
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 4: Would have done what I did.

710
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 6: You would have flipped it because to your point and

711
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 6: why you posted a thing a rich porter or the

712
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 6: why y'all, the reason y'all wore me whatever it's been

713
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 6: is because that was the first luxury look we ever had.

714
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 4: That was the first that was our neighborhoods, that.

715
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 6: Was that's the first thing you saw somebody ride through

716
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 6: with the side or the path final, whatever it was,

717
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:58,959

Speaker 6: This platform is bigger than anything that could ever be contributed.

723
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:22,480

00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 4: Let's talk about your podcast.

808
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 5: So the media situation during the pandemic, everybody was trying

809
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 5: to find a niche, right, and people were consuming content

810
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 5: at all time high. So you were doing Instagram lives.

811
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 5: He was getting like everybody shocked, Jamie Fox, he was

812
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 5: getting a bunch of a less celebrities everybody. Yeah, well

813
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 5: that's what you said.

814
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 6: Literally, I just said, don't know that everyone, everybody. I'm

815
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 6: just about to prove a point of great relationship. So

816
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 6: so great, I mean three o'clock every day. Yeah, like

817
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 6: a year and a half we was there. We stepped

818
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 6: very consistent on that. So then from there the pandemic

819
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 6: is over and correct me if I'm wrong. But then

820
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 6: you tradition to the radio. Yeah, because we were going

821
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 6: through the political the racial League, intense political fear, George In,

822
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 6: a vaccine and George Floyd, all the things, and I

823
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 6: was concerned for the community that it wasn't getting enough

824
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 6: of the information because everybody was sitting down, you know.

825
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 6: I mean, of course they were watching it, but they're

826
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 6: all watching memes and shit, that doesn't mean anything. So

827
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 6: you know, people dying and all types. I felt responsible

828
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 6: for my community and I wanted to go amplify. Plus

829
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 6: I want to make a puffet went out there and

830
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 6: said he was controlling the black vote.

831
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 5: Well you we're gonna talk about that, and thank you

832
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 5: for having me as a weekly contributor on the radio

833
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 5: show to for two years.

834
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 4: That was I appreciate it for sure, before you blew up,

835
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 4: it was ascending. It was said before the sentence.

836
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 6: It was not before you blew I think that was

837
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 6: you really just like he gives way.

838
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 4: That was way more credit than you. I think that

839
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 4: was one cool whatever you wanted to be every Monday.

840
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 5: But like I said, I was greatly appreciate. I'm greatly

841
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 5: appreciative about it. And then but then so then that

842
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 5: this guy was like.

843
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 4: A shot KDS wanted. I think, yeah, you really know him.

844
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 3: That's that's why you could laugh, because you really know him, but.

845
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 6: You don't really you know this guy is amazing.

846
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 5: But then so then so then that that ran its course,

847
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 5: and then then you started the own your own show, right,

848
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 5: so this timeline. Yeah so, all right, let's talk about

849
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 5: this journey of about the last three years in the

850
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 5: media space for you, from Instagram to radio to having

851
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 5: your own show now.

852
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 6: Yeah so, And probably why I say y'all inspired that

853
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 6: earlier is because I felt like after meeting y'all. I mean,

854
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 6: obviously I've been in the business forever, but like meeting y'all,

855
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 6: it was something specific that was your purpose and that

856
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 6: you were on. I've always been in my purpose driven lane,

857
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 6: but my passion and my purpose weren't all the way

858
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 6: a line, right, Because I think we all live life

859
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 6: and we want to amass a certain amount of success, right.

860
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 6: That is the blueprint, and it's not taught to define

861
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 6: it for yourself.

862
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 4: It's just talk.

863
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 6: This is the way to do it. This is the

864
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 6: way such such did it. You could do it like this,

865
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 6: put your twist on it, and continue to climb. But

866
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 6: during the pandemic, when I was forced to sit down,

867
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 6: I had also realized I had some trauma that I

868
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 6: hadn't never addressed.

869
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 4: In my fifty years of life.

870
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 6: Obviously I wasn't quite fifty then, I'm fifty now, but

871
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 6: I think my forty seventh year life, and I was like, damn,

872
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 6: I had trap Like what kind of traumad trauma? I

873
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 6: mean getting keys offered to me at twelve years old?

874
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 6: Fourteenth like stupid shit like or seeing people high laid

875
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 6: out die, Like that's not normal behavior and it's not

876
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 6: something that should be accepted as normal.

877
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 5: But how did that affect? Like how did that? How

878
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 5: did those experiences when you like, how did that affect?

879
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 5: Did it affect you as a husband and it affected

880
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 5: how you was parenting your children? Like how did you

881
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 5: notice that something wasn't right?

882
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 4: I love that question. You're a professional.

883
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 6: I feel like I had already identified the things that

884
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 6: were most meaningful, well, you know, would matter most or

885
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 6: what were most meaningful to me. The gag was though

886
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 6: I had blinders on the whole time when it came

887
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 6: to my professional career in the way that I dealt

888
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 6: with people, you know what I mean. And so when

889
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 6: the pandemic came, the blinders came off because I had

890
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 6: to sit down and like reassess and look at everything.

891
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 6: And when that happened, I'm like, oh shit, I didn't

892
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 6: know I felt this way. You know, it's days you're body.

893
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 6: You know, you're with your family or you're trying to

894
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 6: figure out how to exist. And I went immediately into

895
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 6: three o'clock every day to Kenny burn Show, Come see

896
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 6: me frame your favorite celebrity. So in that process I

897
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 6: felt more of the same. It wasn't different. It's like

898
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 6: I've been talking to y'all my whole career. This is

899
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 6: not fun. Like it was fun for the viewer, but

900
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 6: for me, I wasn't being fulfilled because I was going

901
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 6: through this evolution, you know what I mean. And when

902
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 6: I got to the end of the year and a

903
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 6: half that I did it straight and started going to radio,

904
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 6: it became evident that I was meant to do something different.

905
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 6: I had a voice, and I was building this community.

906
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 6: You know, already had love, respect, followers, admiration from peers,

907
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 6: so for the song, but this was more intentional, and

908
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 6: so I stopped interviewing celebrities and I invited. This is

909
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 6: when the four way started on the Instagram, and I

910
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 6: just started having the people that were coming joining the

911
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 6: conversation and we're talking about the vaccine and we're talking

912
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 6: about Donald Dump.

913
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 4: I don't refer to him as Donald Trump. Yeah, so

914
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 4: they were.

915
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 6: More meaningful conversations, and I fel like that could impact

916
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 6: people way more. And it's one of the things I

917
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 6: told y'all in the beginning, that the information would carry

918
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 6: you through your relationships are good, you know what I mean. Obviously,

919
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 6: now you've interview everybody you probably ever want to interview.

920
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 6: On a grand scale, there's a few more billionaires, maybe

921
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 6: a elon, you know what I mean, But there's not

922
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 6: much more you could do for our community as far

923
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 6: as putting them in perspective. But I felt the same.

924
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 6: I'm like, who else I interview? I'm an interview every

925
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 6: celebrity in the world. I've interviewed the presidents of the

926
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 6: United States, I've interviewed the Vice I mean, what else

927
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 6: am I going to do?

928
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 4: And it became evident that the community.

929
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 6: Me more than ever, so I realized that my purpose

930
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 6: was based on the success of my community even more

931
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 6: during the pandemic.

932
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 4: Always was that in that direction.

933
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 3: Where listening until you speak, and from what you're saying

934
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 3: it sounds like the pandemic, although it was tragic for some, became.

935
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 4: Therapeutic for you.

956
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,240

00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 6: obviously twenty seventeen is when we created it, but during

960
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 6: the pandemic, we had two incredible releases sold out of everything,

961
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,520

Speaker 4: have the brand, to have the brand? Whose idea was it?

967
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 4: To work together? It was kind of our because he

00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:27,600

969
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 5: So you did it as like, I gotta walk you

970
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 5: through it.

971
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 6: I'm gonna teach you how to fish. Obviously, I was

972
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 6: a second black designer ever in Sacksvith Avenue with Ryan Kenney.

973
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 6: I've had major success. I didn't know that your partner

974
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 6: was Ryan Yeah, Ryan Kenny Yeah, and Derek Dudley, who's

975

Speaker 6: my manager that but yeah, we had some tremendous successful

976
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 6: that we changed hip hop. I mean, everybody's wearing white

977
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 6: teas and baggy shorts before us, even Dann button up.

978
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 3: When you were going through this, this the pandemic from

979
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 3: a personal and professional standpoint, when you would think of

980
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 3: about the content you were creating, were you're thinking about

981
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: your sons?

982
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 4: Were they in your mind? Like that? Every decision right, Like.

983
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 3: What impact am I going to have with the information

984
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 3: I provided? How is it impacting them every decision?

985
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 4: Man?

986
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 6: That's part of the reason I left the clubs. I mean,

987
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 6: you know that was at least a half a million

988
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 6: in cash a year, you know what I mean. But

989
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 6: it also doesn't serve me musically. But also that I

990
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 6: don't want them to see that that's an actual lifestyle,

991
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 6: you know what I mean to be. I was in

992
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 6: the club for seven seven years. I stopped in twenty thirteen.

993
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 6: I mean, I host events, but their events, their temp

994
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 6: pole events, essince you know, strength of a woman, all

995
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 6: the bigger thing, you know, bigger black tempole events. But

996
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 6: you know, I want them to see that, you know,

997
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 6: it's okay to be mature and grow. You know, our

998
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 6: our community is hard on you when you turn a

999
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 6: certain age. I think, for the first time ever, and

1000
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 6: this is another exclusive, I think, for the first time ever,

1001
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 6: I'm experiencing experiencing agism. Really, Oh yeah, because I've never

1002
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 6: said my age in the way that I celebrated my

1003
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 6: fiftieth year of life.

1004
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 4: But I'm fucking fifty.

1005
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 6: I never thought i'd see twenty five, So my fifty

1006
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 6: was important, man, we did it ever said you mentioned

1007
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 6: with the both of you missed, But I don't know

1008
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 6: how that happened. No, No, it's cool. I mean it's

1009
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 6: really you did it at Paisley.

1010
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 4: No, but it's fine. Did this is my fiftieth We

1011
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 4: were in London. It doesn't matter.

1012
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 6: You could have got there from ajillion three on the

1013
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 6: vestmenth I could have got a jete on that joint.

1014
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 4: Y'all got money. I don't want to hear that.

1015
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 6: But anyway, I in my fiftieth year of life, I

1016
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 6: decided I don't want to be looked at.

1017
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 4: I'm not young.

1018
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to compete with with you know what

1019
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 6: I'm saying the youngest. I want to be a vehicle

1020
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 6: for the young, as a vessel or inspiration. I don't,

1021
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, So look at me as such.

1022
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 6: And it was more about separating myself from the things

1023
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 6: that seemed younger, you know. And I'm not doing a

1024
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 6: little baby nothing. I'm not doing a little dirt nothing,

1025
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. I like my CQ crew,

1026
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. I like the people who've

1027
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 6: grown with I like R and B.

1028
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 3: You know, I live in the nineties, so who is

1029
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 3: where are you facing the is it in booking your houses?

1030
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 4: Ages? I'm where I face the ages? And are you

1031
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 4: all ready for this? Yeah? Last year?

1032
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying this is actual facts that they're

1033
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 6: treating me as such because it's totally my demographic.

1034
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 4: But I hosted Essence.

1035
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 6: Last year, the biggest attendance in Essence history, seventy nine

1036
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 6: thousand people at the super Dome alongside Tiffany Hattish murdered

1037
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 6: it and was basically told, I, you know, did an

1038
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 6: incredible job that weekend and for me, that's like the

1039
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 6: ultimate as a host. I can go be funny, I

1040
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 6: can hype up the crowd, I can do all the

1041
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 6: things I don't you know. And it's a huge bag

1042
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 6: once a year, you know what I mean. So, long

1043
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 6: story short, I was told basically I hadn't end up

1044
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 6: not getting it this year and it's because of me

1045
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 6: hosting Strength of a Woman and so there's a whole

1046
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 6: lot of sponsored things that went on in that. But

1047
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 6: I also found out after all of the communication was

1048
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 6: weird that they wanted to go younger. That's the reason

1049
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 6: they have Magan the Stallion headlining so forth and so on.

1050
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 6: Like you notice that didn't. I don't want to talk

1051
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 6: about their choice headline. She's headlining and so which is cool.

1052
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 6: Last year it is City Girls. Last year had Nicki

1053
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 6: Minajs on Friday Night and not gidding, but it's you know,

1054
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 6: it's a gradual and younger.

1055
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 4: They're skewing younger.

1056
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 3: But they still had new Edition Sunday and Janet Saturday.

1057
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 6: So it was last year was amazing they put together.

1058
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 6: But the person who put together last year is not

1059
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 6: in charge of the lineup. So there's the you know,

1060
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 6: in culture, you got to always realize something with a beautiful,

1061
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 6: impactful and spiritual weekend like Essence Festival.

1062
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 4: That is the main demographic is a certain age.

1063
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 6: It's no debating, it's a certain age like forty. It's

1064
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 6: fortying up right, And the forty year olds and up

1065
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 6: are now just getting getting hold of Essence because the

1066
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 6: fifties and sixties had it for the last hovery many years.

1067
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 6: So the forty year olds are like, we can finally

1068
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 6: put because of imagine the forties to fifty year old

1069
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 6: is the nineties, right, It's Mariah Carey, It's it's it's

1070
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 6: Sean puffect Cones, it's jay z Is miss like, you

1071
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So I think there's a certain

1072
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 6: thing they're trying to do what I respect. And I'm

1073
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 6: a big shot to the four people that got the

1074
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 6: hosting the opportunity. But I thought that was a little

1075
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 6: because I murdered it last year. So so strength of

1076
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 6: a Woman shout out to Strength of Her Woman, the bit.

1077
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 4: Shotter Shauna Mary J. Blige, We're going to.

1078
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 5: Be there for that they do new thing will be

1079
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 5: so how you said that it was like one or

1080
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 5: the other.

1081
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 4: You know there's soft drink wars out here in these streets. Ya.

1082
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 6: I don't want to get to political body because I'm

1083
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 6: down with everybody. I want you to see me as

1084
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 6: a hoast, not that you own or possess me. That

1085
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 6: I can't do one without the Because Lauren Hill is

1086
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 6: doing Strength of Woman first, and then she's doing Essence Lab,

1087
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 6: you know. Third, she's doing Ruth's Picnic before she's doing Essence.

1088
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 6: So treat me like you treat long. That's all I asked.

1089
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 4: Can we talk about Freaknick. I'm in a new documentary

1090
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 4: that's coming out very soon on Hulu, So.

1091
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 3: But that and then I fellow, let's talk about Freaknick.

1092
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 3: I caught the tail end of that. In nineteen ninety seven,

1093
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 3: I came to Atlanta. My brother lived in swat How

1094
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 3: do you for the record, I'm forty one thirty nine,

1095
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 3: all right, so we kind of we kind of missed it.

1096
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 4: I just heard the stories.

1097
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 3: I know, always heard the stories. I actually had the

1098
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 3: T shirt. I had the T shirt and I remember

1099
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 3: wearing at the school and they like, you can't with.

1100
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 4: Us because it said freak it had to year on

1101
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 4: it and everything.

1102
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 3: But I believe Hulu was involved, Master Pills involved. How

1103
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 3: are you involved in this this historical piece of work.

1104
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 6: Well, from my understanding, it is about a period of Freaknick,

1105
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 6: which was ninety four, and I'm sure there's a whole

1106
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 6: lot of storytelling about how it originated, et cetera, which

1107
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 6: it originated with the DC Metro Club, so some guys

1108
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 6: from DC, A crew from DC actually started Freaknick at

1109
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 6: the Au Center. But nineteen ninety four, in specific, Freaknick

1110
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 6: was when I bought the Big Mac promo too Big

1111
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 6: and yeah, Matt Craig Mac to the warehouse, which was

1112
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 6: Funk Clinic Fridays, and then we had the whole weekend

1113
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 6: and there was some gun play with puffing them, you

1114
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So it was a whole legendary

1115
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 6: story on how he was about to fuck my money

1116
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 6: up a freaking nick. So it's a whole thing and

1117
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 6: Slim pickts big suh out the slim Pickens. I hope

1118
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 6: they get the footage from Slim because he has all

1119
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 6: of it on tape. He actually gave me a piece

1120
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 6: in my documentary when he's like Rodney King and they

1121
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 6: were fighting by the barricades, I was puff and wolf

1122
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 6: and so yeah, rest in peace. But anyway, so that's

1123
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 6: a whole legendary moment. So that's why I'm in it

1124
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 6: because I got one of those tell you next story. Well, yeah,

1125
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 6: I'm talking about Freaknick in general because I came for

1126
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 6: the first one in nineteen ninety two, so I covered

1127
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 6: ninety two to ninety four. So what exactly was freaklick

1128
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 6: Freaknick was? You know, where you could be an adult?

1129
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

1130
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 4: It's like a parade like outside.

1131
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 6: No, it's a black college experience like no other where

1132
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 6: you could literally be an adult. You gotta matter you're

1133
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 6: leaving home. It's blacks told for colleges. It was historically

1134
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 6: black college. This is the biggest cluster here, Morehouse, Spellman,

1135
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 6: Worse Brown, Clark, Morris Brown was fully functional on a

1136
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 6: high level, had students, the whole thing. Then that's where

1137
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 6: I went to school. But yeah, so it was the thing.

1138
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,319

00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 6: in a park. It started in the park and then

01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 6: I'm a different beast when it comes to that though,

1237
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 6: because I think a lot of people love the experiential

1238
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 6: side of what they could do with me, so unlike

1239
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 6: most people starting out on podcasts, I immediately jumped into

1240
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 6: benefiting from from it. So it's growing steadily, you know,

1241
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 6: and we have partners like McDonald's, American Express, Discover for.

1242
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 4: Los not easy, you know.

1243
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 6: And again the experiential things are a blessing too, because

1244
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 6: although I don't have like EYL numbers yet, it's been

1245
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 6: very lucrative philanthropy.

1246
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 4: That's something that's important to you. Yeah, man, I'm working

1247
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 4: with Amazon now. Man.

1248
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 6: We actually just gave a Scott forty thousand dollars scholarships

1249
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 6: to STEM students from Clayton County to cab County and

1250
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 6: Atlanta Public school System. And that's all I want to do.

1251
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 6: I want to make a difference in the you know,

1252
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 6: in the wealth gap. I want to make a difference

1253
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 6: in the opportunity the gaps that are in our you know,

1254
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 6: our communities.

1255
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 4: Amazon is allowing me to do.

1256
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 6: Public policy consulting for them, which has everything to do

1257
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 6: with community and the betterment of it. So when it

1258
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 6: comes to politicians and things of that nature, I'm advising

1259
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 6: on where we need to show up and how we

1260
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 6: need to show up before we leave.

1261
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 5: I want to ask a question about Atlanta. So you're

1262
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:28,919
Speaker 5: from DC, but you called Atlanta home been yeah, So

1263
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 5: recently there's been a lot of issues in Atlanta. The

1264
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 5: untimely passing of Takeoff, to the Rico case with Young Doug,

1265
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 5: a variety of different things, and I even heard twenty

1266
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 5: one Savage say like the city is just not the

1267
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 5: same anymore. It's like a dark cloud over it. The

1268
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 5: unpassing timely death of AG's brother, variety different things that

1269
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 5: have happened, especially in the nightlife and in the hip

1270
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 5: hop and hip hop culture. What is the vibe like

1271
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 5: in Atlanta right now from your perspectives? And is it

1272
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 5: a cloud over the city?

1273
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 6: Atlanta still the blackest city in America. I'm sure nineteen

1274
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 6: Keys might think Oakland, but I think it's the It's

1275
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 6: the epicenter of opportunity, you know what I mean when

1276
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 6: we used to look at New York in LA being

1277
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 6: opportunity and multiple genres of business or multiple sectors of business.

1278
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 6: I think this is the place now that tech is

1279
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 6: heavily here obviously with music, film, et cetera.

1280
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 4: Et cetera.

1281
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 6: I think the youth is in a pivot like no

1282
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 6: other though. And I'm glad you asked that question because

1283
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:41,959
Speaker 6: even one of my clients is at Amazon. So I'm

1284
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 6: telling them as we identify as they have this thing

1285
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 6: called fresh Finds, and I feel like Atlanta culture musically

1286
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 6: obviously comes. I mean the fruit of that is I'm sorry,

1287
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 6: the tree of that that bears a food is outcast,

1288
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 6: goodie mob and honestly civil rights.

1289
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 4: To them, it was messaging.

1290
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,919
Speaker 6: Everything outcast stood for a goodie mob stood for had

1291
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 6: messaging and all of the ilicio you know, initial thing

1292
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 6: one they wanted to represent their city property too. They

1293
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 6: wanted to keep the core of culture involved in their

1294
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 6: music that has gotten lost ten times over. Right, the

1295
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 6: beauty of this generation does melodically and sonically it's another

1296
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 6: melodic it's incredible.

1297
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 4: But they're not saying anything. Fact.

1298
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 6: They're not saying no, he's separate, he's cut from the

1299
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 6: old fact And I'm sorry I should have said that,

1300
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 6: But people who know me know because I talk about this,

1301
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 6: I'm always asked this question. But I think the majority

1302
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 6: right led with the misogyny, destruction, you know, drug culture,

1303
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 6: all of them. And now that it's ironic, you brought

1304
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 6: it up because my manager Derek Dully is doing a

1305
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 6: documentary on the da DA's office and they said since

1306
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 6: Thug in the Yl and the WIFN Cruise have been

1307
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 6: locked up, the murders have gone down thirty five percent.

1308
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

1309
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 6: So I think when you look at life and you

1310
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 6: look at where we are, Atlanta's in a reconstruction musically,

1311
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 6: and who we are as a city.

1312
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

1313
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 6: And that's why I'm even encouraging my partners like Amazon

1314
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 6: or whomever I'm in business with that have a lens

1315
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 6: that leans towards music is you have the opportunity opportunity

1316
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 6: to fix a broken music system here in Atlanta. You

1317
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 6: have the opportunity to project and amplify people that get

1318
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 6: messaging because hip hop has always been messaging for us.

1319
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 6: There's always been clues, there's always been assignments, there's always

1320
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 6: been things that have got that have been a soundtrack

1321
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 6: to our lifestyle. And this music is not a soundtrack

1322
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 6: to our lifestyle for the first time, and I think

1323
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 6: music history, we don't use this to grow from learn

1324
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 6: from an amplifier to sad.

1325
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 4: But the sad thing about it is it is it's like, no, not.

1326
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 6: The majority, but the perspective is key, yeah, right, because

1327
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 6: the key you're.

1328
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 3: Looking at this now right and you're saying, yeah, the

1329
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 3: murder rate has gone down thirty five percent. From a

1330
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 3: parent and an adult and somebody who's been in this

1331
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 3: game for a long time, you've matured to the point like,

1332
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 3: all right, I like that. You can look at your son.

1333
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 3: He may be screaming out free to guys.

1334
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, not really, but I'm not saying hypothetically he could

1335
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 4: be right.

1336
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 3: His age might be for sure, not realizing the overall

1337
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 3: impact that something like that could have had, no for sure,

1338
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 3: So the perspective there is different. So I mean, but

1339
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 3: the majority, okay, and we always got a deal in

1340
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 3: the majority, the majority of black culture doesn't want death

1341
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 3: and destruction, the majority, for sure.

1342
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 4: I don't even understand it.

1343
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, or even to his point, like when you talk

1344
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 6: about glorified like we grew up. Fuck the police was

1345
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 6: like they're beating the shit out of us. You know,

1346
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 6: I'm saying, I'm saying fight the powers, like, yo, we

1347
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 6: have the power they come to. So my thing is now,

1348
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 6: I think there's a you know, that's why I love

1349
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 6: what nineteen Keys and what y'all do as far as

1350
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 6: the speaking of life, like how you can own, how

1351
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 6: you can mature your assets, how you can you know,

1352
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 6: the knowledge is here, the information is here.

1353
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 4: All you gotta do is tap in. You're part of

1354
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 4: the generation.

1355
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 3: But the first generation that we've seen mature and still

1356
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 3: we've had respect for, right because like hip hop, this

1357
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 3: is his fiftieth year, right, But we don't view the

1358
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 3: pioneers the same way we do as the next year.

1359
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 3: I guess the guys from the nineties, right, like they

1360
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 3: were able to grow old, they were able to go

1361
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 3: through life, they were able to mature, and so we

1362
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 3: can see that, right, like this generation is not going

1363
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 3: to look at y'all and us as like, oh wait,

1364
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 3: that's what we can be. Just like how freaknik it

1365
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 3: was a thing, right, there was a generation like these

1366
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 3: kids are out of control, but not out.

1367
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 6: Of control killing and not and women and women acting

1368
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 6: like men.

1369
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 4: That's different.

1370
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 6: No, no, but it's but this is my thing, and

1371
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 6: this is for y'all. Nineteen keys, the part of your crew.

1372
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 6: I love and respect your crew. Love you know, y'all

1373
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 6: is a part of David Shance I love. I don't

1374
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 6: know all their names, so I'm not gonna But the

1375
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 6: point is there's real progress being made in our community

1376
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 6: with platforms like this. You gotta blow the rest of

1377
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 6: the ship up. Y'all have to start like separating. It's

1378
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 6: not everybody's not gonna be here for the entire journey, bro,

1379
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 6: And it's on us. To your point, I got a

1380
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 6: whole project I'm working on. I'm not gonna say the

1381
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 6: name because somebody's gonna try to bite it. But I'm

1382
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 6: part of the problem. My generation is part of the

1383
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 6: acceptance of the bullshit. Not all of us from the

1384
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 6: standpoint of individually, but as a we accepted a lot.

1385
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 6: Why you think half these motherfuckers out of control? Most

1386
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 6: leaders are out of control, out of control, right, you

1387
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 6: gotta respect. You don't have to do anything, but you

1388
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 6: respect hopefully what they brought to culture. But a lot

1389
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 6: of them out of control. Most other half is dead. Right,

1390
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 6: So you look at like, where do we want to be?

1391
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 6: Where do we want to be? We see how easily

1392
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 6: they take the money from our athletes, our actors. The

1393
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 6: god that just was the what's the ant man?

1394
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 4: God?

1395
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 6: Now, I've never seen somebody go away so fast, and

1396
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 6: people run from that man with Jonathan Major's I've never agreed.

1397
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 4: And they ain't even got to the video. They don't

1398
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 4: even have the thing.

1399
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 6: They just ended this and I don't know what he did,

1400
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 6: and he might be totally wrong, but I'm just saying

1401
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 6: they're quick to get rid of us.

1402
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 4: All. That's a fact.

1403
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 6: Y'all are building something they can't take away from because

1404
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 6: it's not on the traditional platforms.

1405
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 4: It's not done in a traditional way.

1406
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 6: That's why I'm still you know what I'm saying in it.

1407
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 6: You can't take nothing from me that you ain't gave me.

1408
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 4: That's the truth.

1409
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 6: So I just encourage all to continue that energy. Can't

1410
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 6: take anything you impressed me earlier. You're speaking out and

1411
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 6: it's not about speaking out against you. Gotta check if

1412
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 6: we're not checking each other.

1413
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 4: It's a family conversation. I like how you did that.

1414
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 4: It was gentle. You might talk, you might talk to

1415
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 4: your brother. It's an issue.

1416
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 5: It's not like you want violence or you know how

1417
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 5: to embarrass them. Yes, but it's just this isn't correct.

1418
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 5: I need to have a community understanding.

1419
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 6: Any time y'all hear me say someone's name, I want

1420
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 6: them to hear what I'm saying so that can, in

1421
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 6: fact happen. I don't want mofucker Listen, And y'all know

1422
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 6: this by now. You've been in it long enough. You

1423
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 6: see how people move with certain people in the room.

1424
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 6: You see how people move when certain people say shits

1425
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 6: be like or how you get to say that and

1426
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 6: nobody says nothing, but God damn it, there's some truth

1427
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 6: to it.

1428
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 4: Then you gotta remember that.

1429
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 6: And how you show up is how you show up

1430
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 6: is how you will be received. And you come INTI

1431
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 6: me and not knowing who you are with you, they're

1432
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 6: gonna treat you that what these these people and y'all

1433
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 6: are dealing with them on a large level. Now, these

1434
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 6: people are kind, now they're you know, but a lot

1435
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 6: of them are individuals. I'm not saying all of them.

1436
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 6: But they did what they did to get where they're at.

1437
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 6: But y'all not doing y'all, that's not your blueprint, y'all.

1438
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 6: Playbook is different.

1439
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 4: This is a new this is a new playbook for

1440
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,600
Speaker 4: a new generation. That's a fact. You're right, that's a

1441
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 4: fact because there was no gatekeeper that we had to

1442
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 4: appease to get to where we are.

1443
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 5: It's just a different level of like freedom because we

1444
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 5: didn't have to ask for permission or try to sneak

1445
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 5: somebody to get to this point.

1446
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 6: And you know the importance of relationships. Thirty somethings they

1447
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 6: kind of get it. Twenty somethings don't get it, you

1448
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 6: know better, but everybody else, think about the next generation.

1449
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 6: They have a full conversation without.

1450
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 3: Hyphening words, taking let out a voice note.

1451
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 4: That's that's all you might get. But that's not cool. Now,

1452
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 4: it's facts.

1453
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 5: It's desympthitizing the whole social media thing is an interesting

1454
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 5: experiment that we won't actually know the full effects on

1455
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 5: to probe thirty inst them.

1456
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's definitely taken away from brain function activity.

1457
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,639
Speaker 6: I was watching Lucy last night. Y ever seen Lucy?

1458
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 4: Lucy? Lucy the drugs got in their body?

1459
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 6: Usage of her brain, that's like limitless. Y'all gotta checked

1460
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,600
Speaker 6: out Lucy. I forgot the girl's name, but it's but

1461
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 6: I think that like because we don't use enough of

1462
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 6: our brain, because we don't even tap into it. Like again,

1463
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 6: we trying to find knowledge itself. My generation, we're trying

1464
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 6: to find out where we come from. We try all

1465
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 6: these things. In our twenties, we were doing who trying

1466
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 6: to find the heritage? Who's trying to even know about tradition?

1467
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 6: Y'all can set the table for that.

1468
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 4: That's what you got to do.

1469
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 3: We create the narrative, shape the narrative, and that changes

1470
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 3: how people with view things. That's why gave tequila is

1471
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 3: important because I'm thinking to myself, like, Yo, we're going

1472
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 3: to Africa, how do we work together to make sure

1473
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 3: we highlight that?

1474
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know what I mean?

1475
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 6: I got an African A Gove coming nineteen everybody's think

1476
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 6: tequila only come from that's that part of it, straight

1477
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 6: from the Motherland. Watch the episode. Watch the episode. Yeah, well,

1478
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 6: I appreciate it.

1479
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 4: Brother.

1480
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 5: I feel like it's always important to keep the race running.

1481
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 5: We passed the baton. Everybody's got different parts, different roles,

1482
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 5: different generations. But it's important that we have these conversations

1483
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 5: on an ongoing basis because there's a lot that we

1484
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 5: can learn from your generation. There's a lot that you

1485
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 5: guys can learn from our generation. There's a lot that

1486
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 5: we can learn from younger generation. And all of this

1487
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 5: comes into play from the media to you know, the

1488
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 5: lifestyle branding, to the political side to everything. It's like

1489
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 5: we all have to work together because that's an ecosystem. Like,

1490
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 5: ecosystem isn't just one thing. Yeah, it takes everything to

1491
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 5: create an actual ecosystem. So if we want to have

1492
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 5: a healthy ecosystem, then we have to have a better

1493
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 5: line of communication.

1494
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 6: You shouldn't yell at your elders on Instagram ever, again.

1495
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 4: Please apologize about that. I don't think that I actually yell,

1496
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:48,440
Speaker 4: but I just couldn't. I couldn't let the conversations.

1497
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 5: Apologize about that, for sure. What we're talking about Kanye West. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 4: Today? I had to I had to do this before
