27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. You have such a like a

28
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: van glorious career, right, but a lot of people don't

29
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: know that you actually started from the bottom, like because um,

30
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: because because because once you had your one like single

31
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: locked up, like, your career just kept going, kept going,

32
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: kept going, So no one actually pays attention to the

33
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: struggle prior to that. So that's what I want to

34
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: get into right now. So how how how do you so?

35
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480

36
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: in St. Louis, Taylor, Missouri. I googled that. I thought

37
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: they were wrong. It was in Wikipedia. I thought Makipedia

38
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: sucking up. Okay, it's sucking up on everything else. But you,

39
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: my pops was he was always a forward thinker, like

40
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: he made sure that we was all born in the

41
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: States so we wouldn't have no immigration problems in there. Wow,

42
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: that's what I's gonna go to now. That makes the

43
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: most sense ever, telling you everything so shortly after birth.

44
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: He just shipped us all back. We didn't even spend

45
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: thirty days in the States after birth, best born and

46
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,240

47
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: I gott dual pass Okay, but it's still because you

00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: citizen when you're born here, yea, as of right now.

49
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: At that time, were not even right now right now.

50
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: So St. Louis right now, I don't know what's going on.

51
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: You and Nellie was going to school, yeah, man, and

52
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: Nellie was actually racist the same we all went. We

53
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: all went to U City High like, we all went

54
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: to the same Now. Now, now I didn't hear this

55
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: from you, but I heard this from Nellie. That was

56
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: like a big gang banging. Wow, and you went to

57
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: that high school? Yeah, that was That was one of

58
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: the reasons why I moved to Jersey because I was

59
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: getting too much trouble in St. Louis. But you can't

60
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: moved from St. Louis to Jersey there. Yeah, but my

61
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: parents didn't know that. They put me from one and

62
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: that's that's that's something that's is very like a key

63
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: to you. I could see because you know, all the goals,

64
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: all accomplishments you have done, you still keep your Jersey

65
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: ties like always. Man, that impresses me. By the way,

66
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: Jersey was a special turning point in my life for sure,

67
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: like that's where a boy became a man. Really, you

68
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And around that time it was

69
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: a lot of segregation and racist and me being an

70
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: African in Jersey City, the Puerto Ricans embraced me. And

71
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: we say segregation, you're saying between blacks and white, so

72
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: you're saying between blacks and Puerto Ricans general. But to

73
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: see the difference what I learned because where I was

74
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: coming from it was just different, like in Missouri's it

75
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: like it's a different kind of racial you find what

76
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, it's different, so different. I didn't see

77
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: difference between that much diversity. Yeah, it was either in

78
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: Missouri Naka may see. So me it was either black

79
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: or white. So if you was a fair color, it

80
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: didn't matter what nationality was to me, he was white,

81
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: like you would have been considered white to you would

82
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: have black. Tell what I'm saying. So when I got

83
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey, it was try to you know. So it

84
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: was just it was just different. So when I went

85
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: to Jersey and and I heard Puerto Ricans called the

86
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: niggas niggas, and I was like, yeah, let this nigga

87
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: call y'all nigga. Like I was like, Yo, there's like

88
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: nigga niggas like when when they were they more niggas

89
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: than we are. And as I started to kind of sucking,

90
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: as I started to realize you, I was like, yeah,

91
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: part because a little bit more niggag like on everything.

92
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: That's a fact. So if y'all earned the right to

93
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: say the word nigga, like actual, why people don't even

94
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: know that? Like Portuguese, y'all y'all sucking Africans. I mean,

95
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: most Latinos are a mix of everything. No, yeah, African

96
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: that's that's the problem. I'm telling this is why, that's

97
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: why the connection is so tight. Like when I took

98
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: a lot of my couple of block Royal family members

99
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: to Africa, they didn't even know the thirty of Africa

100
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: speak fluent Spanish like they was looking like, right, and

101
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: French to French is like most of West Africa. But

102
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: there's Spanish colonialism. Every every language in Africa spoke because

103
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: of you know, some kind of takeover colonialism for sure. Okay,

104
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: So let's just I think that was so beautiful. But

105
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't understand what cryptocurrency is. Nobody does, Okay, can

106
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: you break it down. I'm trying to spread it up

107
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: because I trying to take your investment. Did I make

108
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: an investment? I don't know what to do. I'm just

109
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: geeze money and just helping. I'll be flipping if you

110
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: But that's that's that's that's the thing. It's no different

111
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: from the stock market, like people buy shares, right. What

112
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: I ship think about it, The worth is by how

113
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: many people buy into it. It's really about it's all popularity.

114
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: That's all marketing, so all promoting. It's like whatever this

115
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: is trusted the most, Like in companies, you buy shares

116
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: and companies that's more trusted. You know they're gonna make

117
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: a profit, they're gonna yield an investment, right, So you

118
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: go there with your money because you know these guys

119
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: in the next four or five ten years. Their projections

120
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: say they're gonna make triple what they're making now. So

121
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, that's someplace I want to invest in.

122
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: When you look at cryptocurrency, it's a little bit different,

123
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: but it's almost the same concept the way I understand

124
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: it now, I'm still learning a lot about it myself,

125
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: because the more I get into it, the more I

126
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: start to understand. You'll support a coin, Yeah, mine is

127
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: a coin. A coins is a genius name. By the way,

128
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: that's hard. So I'm invested. I don't know what I'm

129
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: investing name, but I'm invest So what you're invested in

130
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: is the future of Africa when you invest in a coin.

131
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: And I heard you also say invest in Africa, we're

132
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: getting that said that later you continue about a coin.

133
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: So a coin now is like it's set up to

134
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: empowered you know the entrepreneur is it? Is it back?

135
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know about the completely I

136
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: p o s are backing this stuff? Was that a

137
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: company structure that that backs up a cryptocurrency? What does

138
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: the thing? Crypto ain't really backed by nothing like bitcoining

139
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: and back by anything. Right, it's back it's the network

140
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: it's backed by the popularity and the trust factor. You

141
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: you can trust to know that if you buy a

142
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: bitcoin is worth a certain amount of money. That's any currency,

143
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: it's whatever the people say it's worth. Like right now,

144
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: these bottles could be worth more than money if we

145
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: all come out and say that this bottle is worth

146
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: more than this money. But in this case, the the

147
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: bottle is worth money. So in Layman's like sneakers, like sneakers.

148
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: When sneakers, everybody says this is worth this, this is

149
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: worth so much the same thing. So what do you

150
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: mean made you even interested in something like? Well man,

151
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: because I realized that this crypto is gonna be the

152
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: future in currency. That fact, I'll just watch how things

153
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: change drastically in time to digital like and I always

154
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 1: compare everything to me, Like you went from you know,

155
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: two inch rails to eight track tapes to vinyl, two cassettes,

156
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: two CDs, two m P three's and now streaming. Right,

157
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: so now when you look at currency, you went from

158
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, stage coaches, you know, to like literally trading

159
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: whatever you can trade. They went from trading cattle to

160
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: trading you know, gold. I'm saying, actually creating something that

161
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: gold can be, you know, compared to which is the

162
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: actual dollar it is today and dollar eventually is gonna

163
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: turn into something digital tool. So what makes you think

164
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: that Donald dollar itself ain't gonna turn into a digital

165
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: cars because saying dollars analog dollars analog dollars. Credit card

166
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: is digital. But crypto that was money, that was that

167
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: was so from I mean, now crypto is gonna become

168
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: the next digital priss. So if you don't invest in that,

169
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: now it's like if you don't see that coming. Okay,

170
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: now I'm blind, right, So now a can I know

171
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: a corn is rich, I know he know he got everything.

172
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: Now I want to got send reshirts on. So now

173
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: I want to invest? How did I invest? How How

174
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: does one go about someone who doesn't have your phone number?

175
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, who can't actually get this explanation.

176
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: So just for these lamest terms out there, how do

177
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: they invest in a coin? Well, a coin it's gonna

179
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 1: coin base that it's gonna be everywhere. I mean a

180
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: coin is actually gonna be in more places in certain places,

181
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: and even you know, because Africa we have an old

182
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: platform to do whatever, and Africa has been ahead of

183
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: the curve using yeah we exchange through the phone. Yeah

184
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: there was, there was a bit point before big like

00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: they've been on thehead of thee they've been wait ahead

186
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,120

Speaker 1: go to your local A t M and be able

188
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,319

00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you ten thousand. I give like this example,

190
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,439

00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: you buy? You? Invest in thousands and point you just

192
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: sit on the in the value goes on wow, and

193
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: then you trade it in and then you trade it

194
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: when you feel you need to trade it. You know

195
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like it's like yes, it's like

196
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: the point. I mean everything. You gotta learn the game,

197
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: understand how you know the currency fluctuate up and down.

198
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: If you got ten bands right now, it's yours, Yeah,

199
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: but it's yours. I don't know what I'm doing, but

200
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: I trust you because I know you're ready. But that's

201
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: what you don't want to trust Nobody trust, don't trust,

202
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: don't trust nobody rich, trust and rich out of you,

203
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: because that's what I learned. I don't trust rich people.

204
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: That's how they got rich. You know what, I'm to

205
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: be untrustworthy. Yeah, but I do respect him and I

206
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: do listen because now they're gonna give you information that

207
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: you can utilize in your own life. But the word

208
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: trust don't that's that don't like it don't exist in business.

209
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: I realize, damn that's you know, it makes some noise

210
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: to that. You didn't there. It's about negotiation, right, and

211
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: if you want to have the uproar the negotiation, they're

212
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna be things you're not gonna tell me, so you

213
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: can have advantage over the over the negotiation. So already

214
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: ain't no trust because I'm negotiating to get a better

215
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: position and you're negotiating to get a better position. So

216
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: according to what you know and according to what I know,

217
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna hold off a little bit to get in

218
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: that position because it's not a good business deal if

219
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm not in a better position to you. You find

220
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, trust, it's out the windows. Basically, poker,

221
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: It's basically that's exactly what it is. Okay. So also

222
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: you have also brought electricity to Africa. A certain part

223
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: of Africa. Of so, so what happened and why did

224
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: you even like fill this need? Now, first of all,

225
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: it was a need, okay, and I always looked at

226
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: when I first did it was just ready to kind

227
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: of get back and more for plangey. But let me

228
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: let me ask you, so, were you just going to

229
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: these certain towns and seeing that there was no electures

230
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: it's actually started triggered. How it trigger? It was he

231
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: was trying to do concerts in certain parts of Africa,

232
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: but we couldn't do it because there was no electricity.

233
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait a minute, you don't tell

234
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: me if you don't have enough electricity to do a concert.

235
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: And then there was an area where there was electricity.

236
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: But then when we went to go do this like

237
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: the concert, and before the second song even came on,

238
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: all the lights went out. And that's what I like, Man,

239
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: if something gotta some gotta give here, you know what

240
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And that was just what triggered that happened

241
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 1: to me In the Dominican Republic, I was getting a

242
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: haircut and half of my haircut came off, and then

243
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: if the fucking lights went out, and it was like

244
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: you gotta wait two hours the ship. I'm so sorry

245
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: I changed the subjects. So it is real, like domic

246
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: you need to fix your power system a long term,

247
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: I'm just turning resort system. I'm so sorry, but that's this.

248
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: It's the same kind of shot, you know that. Yeah,

249
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: so that triggered it. But then when I want the job,

250
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to both visit your grandparents and

251
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: when they live in there's no electricity, then you want

252
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: to really your grandparends. You say grandmother didn't have electricity,

253
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: she was living what she complaining like when you went

254
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: to Yeah, but everything that's that's what they lived at

255
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: every day. So they didn't even notice that that was

256
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: a luxury that they never even experienced that the rest

257
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: of the world is experiencing. Me leaving out of the

258
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: experience with the experience coming back and you was feeling guilty,

259
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: So visit my grandma. But you wanted to be you know,

260
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: because something you like, you gotta think about it. You

261
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: don't really know what's good to you, you know what

262
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And that wasn't a money play for you, correct,

263
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: because you actually gave your money, right, put up my

Speaker 1: it was ten homes. And what's the infrastructure you're setting up?

267
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: Like what is it that it takes to start to

268
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: give electricity to a town? Um, it depends on what

269
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,720

300
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: reason why they try to promote it as a curse,

Speaker 1: for six hours. Then he got a gas station in

416
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: this house. I got to reevaluate my life. Made you

417
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: he was building the cub and said, fuck it, I

418
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: want to pump Humber nine right here? Like, how did this?

419
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: How did this? I told you I was. I overdid

420
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: everything that then. So that was that phase when I

421
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: just overdid everything. I wanted to outdo everybody. I wanted

422
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: to overdo it with another off the block cars, damn.

423
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: You know. So maybe before I would just you know,

424
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: fill up, n done. I gotta pet peep about my

425
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: gas tank being at a half tape like I don't okay,

426
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I never let it get under the half but like

427
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: below the half mark, damn, a car still fill up

428
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: my made back for twenty dollars. Think, I'm sorry, I'm

429
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: sorry to cut you off. I'm sorry, but you said

430
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: so you're built in the crib and you said fuck it.

431
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: I never want to go out to get gas. No,

432
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: I was too popular. It was just hitache. I think

433
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: it's mad, pctic and then but it's practical, it makes sense,

434
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: like sense something you can say. At that time, I

435
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: was thinking straight too, because every time we used to

436
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: jack cars, we did it from the gas in Atlanta

437
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: at that time. That's crazy at the gas, that's crazy.

438
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think of that. I never thought of that.

439
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: I never thought of But that's still some flo too

440
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: many cars, and I'm a would have been too many

441
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: gas st stops. I'm not taking that chance. So when

442
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: you say thirty two cars, right, I want to think

443
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: of this now, when you say thirty two cars, we

444
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: are we saying made backs because you pulled up in

445
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: a ghost right, Okay, so you don't got like Chevrolet

00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: old schools. I can't do that. You don't do old

Speaker 1: jump cars. They jump cards, bro. I mean yeah, yeah,

452
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: I'll take one or two. Huh dirty yea. I saw

453
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: you on the highway when I was a kid. Tweet

454
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: my man, my brother is ye can never do the

455
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: old school thing. Oh man? All right. So the song

456
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: sorry one of my favorite songs. Also one of the

457
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: times I kind of disagree with you. I didn't feel

458
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: like you should have said sorry at that time. Like

459
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: at that time, I think you jumped in the crowd

460
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: or something like that. You know. What happened was I

461
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: was in Trinidad and we was having a dutty winding

462
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: contest and the girl came up. She was only four teens. Okay,

463
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: all right, Now I understand that her father was a preacher.

464
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: You know, he was a preacher. He was preaching one

465
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: of the most um you know, respected churches over there.

466
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: And the concert was a huge success. Even the contest

467
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: was a huge success. But she won the contest, so

468
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: she ended up on the front page newspaper along with me,

469
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: saying how successful the show was. Dad wakes up to

470
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: read the paper the next Sunday morning and sees his

471
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: daughter in the front page on top of me on

472
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: the newspaper, and he flipped out. So it became a

473
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: story that, yeah, you know I was sexually you know whatever,

474
00:28:53,200 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 1: dancing with this minor, not realizing that's the culture in Trinidad. However,

475
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: the story was you had jumped in the crowd or

476
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: something like that. I'm that makes total sense because when

477
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: I actually apologize, I was like, I didn't want you,

478
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: because sometimes it's artists, we bear on a responsibility that's

479
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: not all, that's not ours. But you know I got

480
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: that for sure. And then you know, of course one

481
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: seeing it and everybody took up and took on the story.

482
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: All the sponsors started putting out, start doing all this right,

483
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: So this became where the actually the song came after

484
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: Pokeepsie didn't. Yeah, that's when I had threw this kid

485
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: off the stage for throwing something, throwing something on the

486
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: stage for me, So that's more of So what I

487
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: was apologizing for but so that's what I thought it was.

488
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean, sincerely, that's what made me say, you know what,

489
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: I need to grow up on that part of it. Now.

490
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: The Trinidads played, I didn't think that was my faunt

491
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: at all, because I'm just doing my job. I got

492
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: paid for service. It's not my job to secure security

493
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 1: in that club. I don't even of her. I mean,

494
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: that's like a dance with the fat girl and then

495
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: a little different. But but naturally, when you're celebrity, clearly

496
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: the blame has to be on somebody. So the approach

497
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: that I took was if the club owners, the security,

498
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: whoever responsible for that protocol is not willing to be

499
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: a man and take the blame, I'll take it for you.

500
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: Then you know what I'm saying. And that's what that man.

501
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: God dammit. That's the funny shing about you, right is

502
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: I knew you for years, always a peaceful, always respectful.

503
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: But when you google you, right, because I have to

504
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: google everybody that's on here, the first seven things is

505
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: a calm, fights serious diego. The first can't you know

506
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that about you? That's crazy. The

507
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: first seven things right, it was the first seven Yeah,

508
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: something like that. So are you, like appaused by that

509
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: image because I know the real a car like I know,

510
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: regardless it was violence involved, and I know that you

511
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: ain't started. I know you never ground. But if a

512
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: person violated, then your people had to do what they

513
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: had to do. But does that ever affect business in

514
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: any which affects business in a big way, you know,

515
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: I think. I think anything negative like that that involves

516
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 1: violence is it's gonna stop your money. That's just a period.

517
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: But I think at the same time, when you get

518
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: to a certain level and there seems to be a

519
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: bigger influence towards real money, the protocols that be is

520
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: going to actually try to keep you in a place

521
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: where they can still control you. And I think now

522
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: that you do it through the internet, and they do

523
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: it through certain links and searches and so on and

524
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: so forth, because most people don't go past that first

525
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: page when they do searches, you know what I'm saying,

526
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,239
Speaker 1: to see what you're really doing that. Yeah, And that's

527
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: why you gotta be careful what you do because every

528
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: everything and every decision you make today is gonna fake

529
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: you tomorrow and it always affects you when you're not

530
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: even on that on that wave. That's not a reason

531
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: why you heard that you did a big deal with

532
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: China in terms of credit to help Africa m terms

533
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: of getting a credit line. Is that true? I did

534
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: a deal with China that has nothing to do with

535
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: that though, saying like US credit line versus a Chinese

536
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: credit line, um, that gets really deeper into politics. But

537
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: I would, I would, I would probably say that there's

538
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: a reason why it's happening because politically, politically, there's a

539
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: lot of moves that's that's being made. And I'll probably

540
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: announce him in a few well, you know, months to come.

541
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: But you know, it all makes sense once once we start,

542
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, giving some information out. Yeah, as far as

543
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, we tried to, uh, you know, submit a

544
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: proposal to be able to provide electricity for Porto Rico

545
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: at the time, and and and our proposal was shut down.

546
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: Now government, I mean they only want that, they only

547
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: want that can make that decision. I mean politically in

548
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico and all the same, you know. Okay, so

549
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: guys say, this ain't gonna look the Republicans, but listen,

550
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: but listen now. I had a big debate, right because

551
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: a couple of the homies they said that Lady Gaga, Right,

552
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: they said that Lady Gaga, you discover Lady Gaga because

553
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: she was writing for you, right, But that's not what

554
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: I heard. What I heard was you discovered Lady Gaga

555
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: because he was writing for her. I don't know what

556
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: is what or if you want to answer or whatever,

557
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: but how did how did how did that happen? Well,

558
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga was the first artist sign to UM, well,

559
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: first pop artist sign of brand. When I went to

560
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 1: con I, it's is your label? Okay? Cool? So UM.

561
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: To be very clear, I didn't discover her wow um.

562
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: She was already signed that Interscope. When my deal was

563
00:33:55,560 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: closed and Jimmy gave you boy. I went to Jimmy

564
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: and said I need that because at the time they

565
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: weren't moving on that because she wasn't the priority. So

566
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: Jimmy played her music. No, no, I just went through

567
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: all the demos. You saw the talent, and I mean

568
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: I just closed my deal there, so you're saying you

569
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: close that deal and you went and said, I'm gonna

570
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: listen to all your demos. I want to see what

571
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: you've got in this building? What type of fucking like? What?

572
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: Because think about it. When think about it, let's say,

573
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: right now, you go to Universal, They've signed hundreds of

574
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: artists that you don't even know is in that building.

575
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: I ain't listening to not one of them, niggas demos.

576
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest because I ain't. I'm a foul nigger.

577
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: And this is how I looked at it. The labels

578
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: have already they already investing hundreds of thousand dollars into

579
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: these signs, these signings, some of them come sit there

580
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: to three years, That's what was Yeah, sit there to

581
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: three years and get dropped and never had no energy

582
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: put into him. So I said, before I go out

583
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: discovering new artists out there that no one cares about,

584
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: never seen, let me go into the box of all

585
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: the orders sitting in this building that they already put

586
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: jam money into. You found out what I'm saying, which

587
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: makes all the sense in the world. But going through it,

588
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: at the time, I didn't hear her because she was

589
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: doing blues like type of you know. I mean, it's

590
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: just the look and everything didn't fit. And at the

591
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: time I was writing for the Pussycat Dolls, and I

592
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: had just signed a producer name Red One at the time.

593
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: So I was like, yo, I had the brightest block

594
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: because I was right, He's not from He's from Morocco.

595
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: He's from Morocco, Africa, from Africa. Yeah, So ultimately, man

596
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: was right. I mean, I just couldn't come up. I

597
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: was I had a writer block that day. I couldn't

598
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: come up with nothing. So I needed some information. I

599
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: was like, yo, get some girls here, get something crazy,

600
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, give me something that can spark some ideas.

601
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: He said, well, I know somebody that you can you know,

602
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: you can come rock with. It's Red One, And you know,

603
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: he called Lady Gaga now and her name was Lady Gaga.

604
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: At that's okay. Cool. So she walks into the studio.

605
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: She walks in the studio, and then you are a con.

606
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: This is already locked up, this is you're already lit. Yeah.

607
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean that you diamonds everywhere, you know. So ultimately,

608
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: you know, we do the song. She's she goes in

609
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: the booth and she's dem on your song out and

610
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, this bitch is a star. Now when

611
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: you say you do the song she dem wing out,

612
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: you're saying you laid the vocals and then she said

613
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: your vocals over no, no, like we wrote the song,

614
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: and she went in to demo without for it sounds well.

615
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: I was reading for the Pussy Got Doors. So she

616
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: came out the booth. I was like, yo, what's your situation? Like,

617
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: are you signed? And she was like yeah. I said where,

618
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: Like what building? She said, I mean in the school?

619
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: I say, are you serious? She said yeah, I sound long.

620
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: You've been there and she said about it, you donna

621
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: have two years. I was like, oh, ship, well, let's

622
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: you know, this works something out. She's like tell yeah,

623
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: let's do it. So I called Jimmy. I see you, Jimmy,

624
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: I know exactly who I want to sign off the

625
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: label A sad and I was like, he said who?

626
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: I said, Lady Gaga. He's like really, I said yeah,

627
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: I know. In his mind he's trying to figure out

628
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: like what, like what is that? What kind of deal

629
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: is that though she's already signed to the label, that

630
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: who kind of deal is that? It's a joint venture,

631
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: so it changes for her. Her numbers don't change, Jimmy.

632
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy is like the numbers don't change. The only difference

633
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: is Jimmy was split. He has to give to you

634
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: because now you're investing in it exactly. But you're not

635
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: investing money. You're investing whatever it is. You're not investing money.

636
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: When you say you know, I'm taking over the project

637
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: at that point, I'm you know, I'm doing all the music.

638
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: Him adding yourself to the project is investing in it. No,

639
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: he's Jimmy knows what I do. So Jimmy had no problem,

640
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: you know, was saying, Okay, take that and put it

641
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: under your umbrella and let's make this big. You know

642
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Now, in any other system, they probably

643
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: would have been like, do it as well, because they're

644
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: either gonna do that or they're gonna end up dropping

645
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: it because it's one of the list of things that

646
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: there's no attention put on yet. And she was a

647
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: kind of artist that was so creative it was hard

648
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: to really figure out what that is because she had

649
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: been through four or five labels before she even landed

650
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: the Amuscope. So so, okay, you have this conversation with Jimmy,

651
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy gives you the green light that Now, now, what's

652
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: the next step. After that next step, we spent three

653
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: days in the studio and finished the album here and

654
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: what studio we're at it was in Atlanta. Yeah, we

655
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: did that whole album. We did her album and Tammy

656
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: Chan's album all in the same month, sem rooms, same moon.

657
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: Because after we finished gu Guy's album and we end

658
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: up doing Tammy Chan's album, you kept with ging. I

659
00:38:50,960 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: respect your high five. So now when we get into

660
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: the writing process, But how did the writing process go? Uh?

661
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: The writing process for me is really simple because after

662
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: the beat is made, I go in there later melody

663
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: and then I listened to the melody. Did not put

664
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: the words to it? Now? Is that what hard as well? Yeah?

665
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: With her, she's she she does pretty much the same thing. Um,

666
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: I think the melody, uh, the way it was like

667
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: she kind of adopted it from us because I think,

668
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, but she you know, she was she was

669
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: already classical classically you know, treat comes again and everything

670
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: like that. In my opinion, sorry to cut you off,

671
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: my opinion, it felt like what you gave to her

672
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: is the same exact thing what Ussher kind of gave

673
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: to Justin Bieber. Like they got sold. But you know,

674
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: like the sign that This is now what Justin gave

675
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: to Justin, I mean us gave to Justin Bieber was

676
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: co signed as far as credibility and a mentorship, right

677
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: because someone could say that about yeah, like me, when

678
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: when I get involved with artists, When I signed an

679
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: artist on a label that's co sign is the last

680
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: thing that I see as as as a as a

681
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: you can say, as a an advantage for them, because

682
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: we don't. We do beyond that. We we actually develop

683
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: artists like we artistly develop them, you know what I mean?

684
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: And then after all that's done, I go on a

685
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: road with them from radio station to radio station to

686
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: me the DJ DJ like I put them through the

687
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: same like the same process I went through. We jump in,

688
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: but you go with them. Yeah, I'm there, I'm there

689
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: and everybody out there in the business. No, when I

690
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: signed an artist, but what does that turn into? You? Like? Now,

691
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: when when when someone because we all know someone gets

692
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: involved in someone's career and then it works, What is now?

693
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: What does that look like now? The business situation between y'all,

694
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: the relationship? What is that now? Oh no, that's just good,

695
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: Like it's still the same business situation. No, it's not,

696
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: it's not at all. Once she goes on, then yeah,

697
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: because once she goes on, she's an own ball, she's

698
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: our own person, you know, she makes own decisions. So

699
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: how far along does that take to happen? That normally

700
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: depends on the person. Depends on the person. You know,

701
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: some artists after the first hit record, and some artists

702
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: after five six albums, and some stay together for it

703
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: all depends. And is it ever like bitter sweet in

704
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: a sense? Is there a bad business? I don't think

705
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: it's never really bitter sweet for me, you know, because

706
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: I I do what to actually empower them to do

707
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: it on their own. So you want that for your

708
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: artist absolutely, I mean absolutely, because it's not every situation. Yeah,

709
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm developing artists for them to leave them. Yeah, I

710
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: developed them to be free, you know what I'm saying.

711
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: And because if you're looking at it from a monetary

712
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: game standpoint or a financial game, you gain no matter what,

713
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: because you're always going to be attached to the product,

714
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I felt like when you

715
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 1: was I mean, you said you went to the radio

716
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: station with me as a DJ. At the time, it

717
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: didn't seem like you were attached to the project, like

718
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: I felt like the lady got beginning even like it

719
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: felt like you felt back. You were letting her just

720
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: be her and do her and then not seeing that.

721
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: That's what the part you're talking about is letting the

722
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: world know I was attached because I didn't want her

723
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: to be painted no kind of way urban. You just

724
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: wanted her to be her, Like yeah, because as a

725
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: business person, I was like, the moment people know that

726
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: she's with me, they're gonna give her the same shot

727
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: and she's not going to get that business that I

728
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: need her to get because otherwise a whole bunch of

729
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: maiggas will be following her and she'd be like Pink

730
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: selling a million records and trying to get out of

731
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: that to do something different. So what happened, I'm sorry,

732
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: And I was in the bathroom with quick Um. So

733
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: what I've been for the separation? Oh no, I just

734
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: know we talked about that. Terms just expired. We talked okay, yeah,

735
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: the terms expired, and know what I'm saying. And then

736
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: I was offered, you know, a buyout to uh, you know,

737
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: if my share of the proc my part the change

738
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: the sounds So there is a buyout though, what I

739
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: want to That's what I'm trying to. Yeah, he's saying

740
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: the buy that's on a businessman level. I want to know, like,

741
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: how does that look? But when the artist goes on

742
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: you know? No? No, I mean well it's if I didn't.

743
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: If I didn't, you know, agree to the buyout, I'll

744
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: still be attached business wise. But as an artist you

745
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: kind of feel obligated to make an artist feel as

746
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: a businessman, I raised the value so I can sell it.

747
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: That's all there. Trying to hear this artist ship that

748
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: you can say business it's not artist ship right now.

749
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: I respect that. I respect that so hard. So you

750
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: guys made history. It's still cool. Oh yeah, no, it's

789
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: reiterate what he said because I want to look at

790
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: good dog. I think of this man. I think IRV Gotti,

Speaker 1: I think of Dame Dashes, I think a BIGS, I

792
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: think a whole and Pup said, there's so much limited

00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: CEOs out there right now, and Puffs and plaint was

795
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: that corporate America, hite America, whatever part of America you

796
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: want to call it. It's not even investing or even

797
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: trying to make more black CEOs happens. We got no idea.

798
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: We got these certain peoples out there that's gonna be funded.

799
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: It should be fundy, whether it's their own independent company

800
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: or whether heading Sony or heading you know a depth, Jam,

801
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: what do you think about that? I think it's happening

802
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: because we ain't making it happen yet, who do you think?

803
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: Who do you think making them billions? We're doing it,

804
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: so you expect them to invest in us? Like why

805
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: we can't invest in our own they think about it?

806
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: Why we can't do it? But what I want to

807
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. But what pupp is saying is

808
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: this is our industry, so so so the company is

809
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: should be invested and to our people in this particular industry.

810
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: So he's he's not saying, everybody start our own companies,

811
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: which we can know. That's what he's saying. You know,

812
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: def JAM should have Gotti running it should still be

813
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: running University. Uh, you know, still we're wrong and so

814
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: on and so forth. It's their company. Okay, that they built. Okay,

815
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: you want that? Did he? How about we started our

816
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: company that we build and we've become to see you.

830
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: went too far. He's one of the shareholders of Ani

831
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 1: and he's actually he owned a majority of the ports,

Speaker 1: you know, the ports on the water, all the shipping

833
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: and all that come in the majority of his money

834
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: come from Africa. And you know that I know him

835
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:41,319

00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: He did everything in the funk he had to do. Okay,

838
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: So a com I got something, I got some question,

839
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: God damnit. I I was ready for us a long time. Brother.

840

Speaker 1: If you got the lady guy, I got ship out

841
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: of here. Okay. So now here's where we gotta go.

842
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: I would like to say rest in piece of Screw. Um.

843
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: I had never met Screw me personally, but I've been

844
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: affected by Screws death because Capone and you guys somehow

845
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: was was whatever. I don't know the story right, Me

846
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: and Capone was actually not in good terms at that time.

847
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 1: So but I remember how how much in the beginning

848
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: when this first happened, how much you know Block Roy,

849
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: They wherever I was at, people from Block Worrior there

850
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: come to Yo and I'm looking, and there'll always be

851
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: somebody like, no, it's not him. It screal ship like

852
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, it's not him. And I was

853
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: just standing there and never be like I was like,

854
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: but I understood because I had never met Screw, but

855
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: understood how important he was. And then it's who me

856
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: as a person, Who's who used my intelligence? I went studies,

857
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: So I went and that was probably one of the

858
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: most genuine enough I've never met him, but I'm just

859
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: saying from what I've researched, probably um one of the

860
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: most straight up that I'm down on, the most realistic people. So,

861
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: how did you even meet Screw? Yeah? They don't make

862
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: him like him no more. I've met him when I

863
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: moved to Jersey, Okay, you know, um, he was actually

864
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: the one that uh kind of mentored me because he's

865
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: like a big brother to me. And then he introduced

866
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: me to the whole you know, crue that ball with

867
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: the balling posse at the time before Block Royal had

868
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: even existed. And that's how that whole concept came about.

869
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: Because we was like worthy on our own, block was

870
00:51:54,760 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: wanted and that's how it all, know, the whole concept

871
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: came about. But he was He was clearly a leader though,

872
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: that's for sure, you know what I'm saying. So, and

873
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: everybody looked up to him in a big way because

874
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: he was he was the person that there was a problem,

875
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: they would call him to you know, put both sides

876
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: together and pieces together. That's why they called him to

877
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: screw because he was, oh everything together. Puerto Rican that

878
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: can go squap exactly what he Blacks and Puerto Ricans.

879
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: Everybody knew him. So when there was a problem, they're

880
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: called school, they're like out of respect him. He'd be like,

881
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: all right, cool, we're talking to chopping up. And he

882
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: always put you know, put people together. That's that's you know,

883
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: that's that was his thing. Problem. So do you know that?

884
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: Do you know the actual story of yeah? So, which

885

00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: sign to or I was thinking about commit school was actually,

905
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's my brother, so everything he was doing together.

906
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: So the whole idea was, you know, the Block Royal

907
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,280
Speaker 1: would be the music. Well it was Convict was already

908
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: in place, but Block Royal was something. We want to

909
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: do it for the community, you know what I'm saying.

910
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: And more so anything we want to make it more,

911
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: keep it latin. You know, comic music be the black side.

912
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: Block roils the Latin side because it was different music,

913
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: different genre, different, you know what I'm saying. So ultimately,

914
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: you know, we we went up and had the comedy show.

915
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: Everybody had a great time. Now I had to go

916
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: back to my hotel to get grab my bags and

917
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: everything because we're leaving out that morning. So as I'm saying, okay,

918
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: we don'ta gonna pull out, we're getting the call. We

919
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: start pulling in. They're still in the um in the

920
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: in the comedy center. Everything. Let's out capone and everybody's

921
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: downstairs chilling. N It's about to close out, but not quite.

922
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's out front. The pone was about to pull out.

923
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: So schools like all right, were cool. Let me just

924
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: make you walk into the car and make sure everything

925
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: is all good. As the phone was moving out, he

926
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: we went to look. We went a little here to

927
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: Screw because there was a conversation happening. And as Capone

928
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: was coming out, somebody jammed him to against the door

929
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: with a gun, trying to rob for his chain. School

930
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: noticed that dude was trying to get at him, so

931
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 1: he rushed out to the front and caught dude. Didn't

932
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: act as he was robbing Capone. Now you're not dead,

933
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: but this is what you're here, you know, it's robbing Capone.

934
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: So Screw stepped the front, grabbed the dude you know

935
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: with the gun, and snuffed him. As he snuffed the moves,

936
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 1: everything was going on, moving around and going on. Everybody

937
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: came out realized, okay, was does a fight? They all

938
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: go jumping and everything else, and Screw was on top

939
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: of him just punching him, punching him, punching him. Next

940
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: thing you know, he just fell on him and he

941
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: was like, why everybody jumping? Anybody going on? So you

942
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: signed out because of all the commotional was going when

943
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: when the Screw grabbed him punch dude, the gun went off. Wait,

944
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: so the guy on the floor. Um shot shot him, Well,

945
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: the guns off at he was snatching the gun to

946
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: hit him. Understand, you're saying that, you know the guy's

947
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: partner because on one point at you, So the guy's

948
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: pointing at him, School grabs him and then in a

949
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: mix of all that happening, okay, schools on top of

950
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: him punching him. Now, so they're not thinking that nobody

951
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: got shot. He's not even know when he got hit.

952
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: You following when when it went off. So when he

953
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: fell on him, that's when they realized, oh ship, he's

954
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: actually hit. You find what I'm saying. So as they

00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: was rushing him to the hospital, he got there safely.

956
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,120

1001
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: it's not really nothing you pull off? Like think about

1002
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: look at the average person to day. Right, you got

1003
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: your main girl, your side piece. Listen, listen, I hear

1004
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: all that talking, mistress. I'm just saying, I don't know

1005
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: how y'all title them, how y'all say it. But if

1006
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: you go down we are going down jack, see no

1007
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: real talk. Okay, this may not apply to you or

1008
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: my brother, oh or whoever else that it may not

1009
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: apply to, But the average guy has his main chick,

1010
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: side piece or mistress, jump off and whatever else knew

1011
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: that come about. It could be a one night stand,

1012
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: it could be somebody you meet the club, whatever the case.

1013
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Maybe now at the end of the day, we can

1014
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: say that that your girl don't know what you're doing

1015
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: or don't know what's happening, but she knows you better

1016
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: than you know yourself. You know what the hell you're

1017
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: out there doing, bro, she just don't call you out

1018
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: on it. And women have this tendency of well, it's

1019
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: actually natural. If you tell her that this is what

1020
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: it is, she builds and starts to structure her life

1021
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: around what you tell her. Coughing back there, it's just

1022
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: one of So that's how women do because they're very

1023
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: emotional creatures. So they're gonna build their life around you

1024
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: and what makes you happy, and not only that, but

1025
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: what makes you comfortable. So if you tell look, baby,

1026
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: this is what it is in my life, this is

1027
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: how it is, she builds her life around that. Now,

1028
01:01:54,160 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: So now imagine being a person that caters. You're the

1029
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: whole way of existence, around the way you live, and

1030
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: then one day finds out that everything you can tell

1031
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: her is a lie. So now she just structured her

1032
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: whole life around the line. What did she do then?

1033
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, every woman is different how they react to it.

1034
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: It depends on the woman, but they're gonna react. My

1035
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: approach is just totally different. I'll keep it all the

1036
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: way one tell them from beginning. I'm married, I got

1037
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: not another motherfucker's straight up, and we're gonna fuck and

1038
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: you might be my temper credit cards. I mean, I'm

1039
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I said it in the Norry way,

1040
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: but like in the acorn way. Is like, is this similar?

1041
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: Like you listen, baby, you can't be there prize when

1042
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: and you're getting it. It's not like you like you're

1043
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: approaching it from a pimp. No, I don't want to

1044
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: trying to be a pimp for a week. It didn't

1045
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: work out. I didn't didn't work out for me. I

1046
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: don't want to be a band. Yeah, so it's nice. Okay,

1047
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: let's put this way. It's as simplest this. Let's say

1048
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: you're married, I am oh we're not trying to trying

1049
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: to look good in front of his wife. And so

1050
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that makes you look guilty. You

1051
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: don't have to try hard if you're person If you don't,

1052
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Can I tell you something, I'm your good husband.

1053
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: You gotta wave the white flag. That's very true. I

1054
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: don't got to do that. That's very true. That's very true.

1055
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Good right. You better you want to claim that too.

1056
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm claiming that. Let's say the average guy, it's taken right,

1057
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: and he meets a girl, and the girl that he's with,

1058
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: now that he's taken with, he's already had a conversation saying, listen,

1059
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: this is my way of life. This is a tradition. Yes,

1060
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm planning on marrying you, but I'm entitled to happen one, two,

1061
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: or three or four wives. All right now, you explain

1062
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 1: that to number one from day one. If she's cool

1063
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: with that, and that's you. If she ain't cool with that,

1064
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: then she's not the wife for you. If that's what

1065
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: you plan to do. Now, on a woman standpoint, this

1066
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: is what happens. Two things happen. First of all, you

1067
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: keep it real with her, so she keeps that respectful

1068
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: you because you didn't lie to her. You told her

1069
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: exactly what you feel and what she's getting into. And

1070
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: number two, now she can prepare herself mentally to say, Okay,

1071
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: you know what if I deal with Nori and this

1072
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: is what he wants, is this something that I want

1073
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 1: in my life? You find what I'm saying. Now, she

1074
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: can make that decision because you gave her the option

1075
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: to make that decision. Okay, but have you ever made

1076
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,800

1127
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,000

1129
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: she's inspiring to be a model, would come off a

1130
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: girl inspiring to be a model, inspired to be a

1131
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: model and goes to I'm not gonna lie. Don't listen

1132
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: to inspiring to be a model. I worked for the

1133
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: casting company. So what she was doing in the video

1134
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: making them to be inspiring model the way you just

1135
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: trying a business model together right shot out the casting

1136
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: by country. That was funny but alright cool, especially in

1137
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:58,719
Speaker 1: that era of hip hop. Yes, models don't exist in casting.

1138
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,839
Speaker 1: Like you said, you knocked down a lot of models.

1139
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying is I was trying to

1140
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 1: go there. You know what he's going on. What I'm

1141
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: trying to say is music videos were never made for models.

1142
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: So if you're trying to be an inspiring model, the

1143
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: video scene is not where you're gonna be that because,

1144
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: first of all, if you've been in the video, agencies

1145
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: ain't even gonna accept you because they just they never

1146
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 1: at that time, especially they didn't look at hip hop

1147
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: videos as something classy to looking at it with something ratchet.

1148
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: He pleaded my cane for him. You know what I'm saying,

1149
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: But the video models popping, I mean, it all depends.

1150
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm gonna try. He almost he almost, and

1151
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: so um you said you said the video of okay,

1152
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: so now, but he was wrong for cutting off of

1153
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: being and I didn't cut her off. He did the

1154
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 1: right thing when he hold on what was the first

1155
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:12,400

01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:15,000

Speaker 1: thing about coming? He did the right thing, bro this Wally.

01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: She was long song. Ain't even no threat? Why threatcause

1160
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: he's going trying to knock down their hands and all

1161
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: trying to knock it down because anything back. There's a

1348
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, the records was sent to him. But y'all

1349
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: mad him somewhere or something or we had never met

1350
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: until we all sending records out to labels. No, Bernard

1351
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Bernard came and took my records. Oh you know, the

1352
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Bernard came and took my records and he went around,

1353
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, shopping him and um, he got I think

1354
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: he connected with a guy at the time. It was

1355
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: Kenny Burns. Wow. And Kenny Burns was the one that

1356
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: took the record to Steve Rifkin. You know what I'm saying.

1357
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 1: You got you got a matter of fact, I'll take

1358
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: that back. Um, you know it was it was, it was,

1359
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 1: I was, I was Isaac. Yeah. And then um, when

1360
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: when we got when he was on three Way, Kenny

1361
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 1: was on the other side, Like I told you, nig

1362
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you Nigga, I totally you know he's one,

1363
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, Kenny, Kenny definitely was the one that passed

1364
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 1: over to Steve before Steve came out there. But it

1365
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: was more about, you know, I knew at that moment

1366
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: that I can build something with this with this guy

1367
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: I'm Steve. That's when I knew I can build something

1368
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 1: big with him because it was about his passion for

1369
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 1: what I did and its willingness to be down no

1370
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: matter what, and that meant more to me anything, especially

1371
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 1: with that mentality street retality at that time. So when

1372
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: you think about the word lonely, it's the first thing

1373
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: that comes to your mind. The cab county that's selling

1374
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: her jail. Is that a jail? That's why, that's that's

1375
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: why I wrote the song. I did not know that

1376
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:33,599
Speaker 1: smoke some morely, I had no idea, but I had

1377
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: locked up and lonely next to each other, had no idea,

1378
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: So Lonely it was locked up in the jail. Yeah.

1379
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 1: That whole first album, majority of it, every song in

1380
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 1: there was wrote in jail. Except Trouble Nobody Wow, because

1381
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,719
Speaker 1: I wrote like Don't and the reason why like Ghetto

1382
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: was written there. I mean, all the songs except Trouble Nobody.

1383
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 1: Trouble Nobody was only song off that album that I

1384
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: didn't write while I was locked up, and I wrote

1385
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 1: that after I left court. I got out of court,

1386
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: and I wrote that one because George told me not

1387
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: the trump of nobody Wow? So um, you come home?

1388
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 1: What makes you want to keep these songs? Not? Right?

1389
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 1: All new material? I wouldn't know how to write new

1390
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:25,680
Speaker 1: material because all my songs based on my experiences. So

1391
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to not talk about what I

1392
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 1: was already going through, first of all, because I was

1393
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 1: surrounded by it, Like I was being drowned by everything

1394
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: that I'm going through anyway, So I couldn't even think

1395
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: outside of what I was dealing with to even make

1396
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: up a story or make up uh, you know, a

1397
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: song for that matter. You know what I'm saying. So

1398
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:50,639
Speaker 1: that experience actually became the content in which I wrote about.

1399
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 1: Before you were any were you are already an aspiring artist.

1400
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 1: Before I was in I was and hustling. I think

1401
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 1: the me music it was more of like uh uh,

1402
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:09,559
Speaker 1: a way of kind of event, you know, event kind

1403
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: of platform for me like that, because I didn't really

1404
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: talk too many people about my problems. So whenebody was

1405
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: going through, somebody just read about it. So yeah, so

1406
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: music is more like a hobby for me at that time.

1407
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be some about utilized as

1408
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: a career. Okay, Um, now, invest in Africa. No, we

1409
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: touched on a little bit earlier. I like to go

1410
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more deeper than debt watching watching me

1411
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 1: invested in Africa. I know, Washington, we should invest in Africa, Africa,

1412
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 1: but I would like for us to tell the masters

1413
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 1: that the whole world, well this, this is what I

1414
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,640
Speaker 1: can't tell you. I know a lot of times we

1415
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 1: we have the tendency to blame the white man for

1416
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: everything that's going wrong, right, and white man is fucked up.

1417
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that's how I mean, that's that's

1418
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: the majority of African Americans in America. Film. You know,

1419
01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: you're not saying nothing that everybody don't feel nothing. That

1420
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 1: may not mean that don't necessarily mean it's true. But

1421
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 1: with the circumstances that surround us, that's why we believe

1422
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:07,080
Speaker 1: that way you know. So at the end of the day,

1423
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: it was like, if you are in a position in

1424
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 1: life where you feel like you don't own your own content,

1425
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: you own anything, and they should be investing in us.

1426
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: This is the opportunity now to be able to own

1427
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 1: that in which we're complaining about. Because in Africa, it's

1428
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: a clean slate. You can build that empire there, you

1429
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: can build that infrastructure there. It's just and you already

1430
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: got there. You know the information, you already educated on

1431
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: how to do it, because we've done it here and

1432
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: made billions of dollars for corporations all day. Africa is

1433
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 1: the only place in the world where black people can

1434
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 1: go and build fortune five hundred companies from scratch within

1435
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:52,560
Speaker 1: five years. No, seriously, and this took them hundreds of

1436
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: years to build. You can build it now within five years.

1437
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: China took that same you know mind state only five

1438
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: years ago. China was no different from Africa twenty five

1439
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: years ago. Go to China. Now, look at Dubai, the

1440
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 1: Middle East. They just started fifteen years ago. And I'm

1441
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,519
Speaker 1: kind of me We're just gonna be one of the

1442
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 1: say I understand what you exactly mean. So you're saying

1443
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: that Africa right now? So how how could Africa be

1444
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: to New China? How can we say that? People, Yes,

1445
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:27,679
Speaker 1: go back to Africa. Whatever you're doing here, do it there.

1446
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: So the state, entertainment, education, sneaker company, whatever clothing line,

1447
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: whatever started there, do it there. You don't even start it,

1448
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:41,719
Speaker 1: do it there. It's gonna grow out of there anyway.

1449
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 1: But Africa's big enough you won't ever have to need

1450
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 1: no other country anyway. Think about it, everything you do

1451
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:53,759
Speaker 1: to Africa. Africa's the second biggest country in the world.

1452
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 1: It's over a billion people. Who Who's who's the biggest

1453
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 1: continent Europe? Who's the biggest continent? Asia? The biggest continent Asia?

1454
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 1: And that's China, Korea, it's India, all of them put

1455
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: together though, that makes Asian, and it's not that much

1456
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,840
Speaker 1: bigger than Africa, and Africa the second biggest continent with

1457
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:20,759
Speaker 1: more natural resource, with all the natural resources, that's the difference.

1458
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: So we got we gotta literally got a pot of gold,

1459
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 1: and nobody even going forward. So how do we start this?

1460
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 1: How do we start How do we start to say,

1461
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 1: you know what, let's invest back in the motherland. I

1462
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: think the keys, you know, first of all, you got

1463
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: to release the fear because a lot of you know,

1464
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: African Americans are afraid to go to Africa. Because I'm

1465
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: not gonna lie, but I mean, I was off so

1466
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:44,320
Speaker 1: many shows to Africa. I'm gonna be honest, and then

1467
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 1: they told me I'm gonna get shots, and I was like,

1468
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm good. And I've never actually been in Africa because

1469
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: I didn't want to get the shots. I didn't know.

1470
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know they injecting ship in me. But I

1471
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 1: was scared. This is back in the day. That's why

1472
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: I said, gott to release the fear. The fear you

1473
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 1: have to because first of all, only white people need

1474
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 1: shots to go to Africa. Black people don't need no

1475
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 1: shots to go to Africa. But why why is that

1476
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: even the room one that you need shots to go to.

1477
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: It's the same way they told you Aid started that

1478
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: Africa you can die from malaria. They're telling you all

1479
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 1: this stuff, none of stuff. You know, they'll tell you

1480
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:23,519
Speaker 1: what you go to Africa, take you know, shots, you

1481
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:25,759
Speaker 1: gotta take like five or six different, you know, types

1482
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: of shots to save you from this, save me from that.

1483
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: Why does that rumor even exist? Though? I mean, hope

1484
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 1: because they know the value of black people going back home.

1485
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 1: Can you just imagine if African Americans in America decided,

1486
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 1: you know what, man, America, we're going back home, and

1487
01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 1: then every all the value that we bring here we

1488
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 1: took over there. America wouldn't exist. No club Live and

1489
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: zoomand none of that will work. Think about it. Just imagine, man,

1490
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 1: all the major ball players left started their own team back,

1491
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 1: all the major recording artists left, started their own labels back.

1492
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: Just imagine just those two sectors. We're not talking about

1493
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 1: all the inventors that never got the credit for all

1494
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 1: the ship that they're invented, like cell phones and all

1495
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 1: that that black people invented. You would never even know

1496

1504
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:55,040
Speaker 1: if we just came together to do it, right, that's

1505

01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't like you, No, I don't like Lamb. Just

1512
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:22,800

1573
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 1: release it, but him, Joe, tell me you gave Jesus

1574
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:25,559
Speaker 1: Soul survived Listen. After hearing Jeezy on that record, I said, Yo,

Speaker 1: but it did what it was supposed to do. Is

1580
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:45,639
Speaker 1: exactly what it's supposed to do. I love this quietness

1581
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, not everybody makes a noise. So the guy

1582
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 1: wants to do a record with you. You've never really

1583
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,759
Speaker 1: heard of him, but you you know, over the family

1587
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 1: like literally, I called him. I said, there, I got

1588
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 1: the record for you, jeez or Jeezy. He instantly loved

1589
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:25,920

1596
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 1: was more perfect for that record than me. And you

1597
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: made it your producer. That's when I was in full

1598
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:55,240
Speaker 1: production mode. I just felt like it was. It was

1599
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 1: a stronger record of being his than mine as an

1600
01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:03,680
Speaker 1: artist at that time. You I'm saying, he gave it

1601
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 1: to him, he lays it, and he keep be bodied

1602
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:11,519

1652
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:27,799
Speaker 1: when he was um he had just did the DVD.

1653
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 1: He was doing DVDs. Uh. Then I signed him and

1654
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:34,680
Speaker 1: then we rolled together for about a good year, you know,

1655
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:42,120
Speaker 1: um flowing to Atlanta. Uh. That's what he got inspired

1656
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 1: on that side because French was a he was a chameleon,

1657
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: like he can adapt any style. And a good thing

1658
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: about him that he was one of the artist and

1659
01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 1: didn't want to be putting one sicking boxing and try

1660
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:52,600
Speaker 1: different things, you know what I'm saying. That's why I

1661
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 1: liked him a lot, you know, so he definitelyn't go

1662
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:57,560
Speaker 1: off to that. And then we working some records in

1663
01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: New York and he called me, was like, yo, man,

1664
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 1: I got a call from Diddy. Did he really want

1665
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 1: to be a part of the project? And I said, well, ship,

1666
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 1: let's let's talk to him and see what's going out.

1667
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 1: And you know we met with Diddy, did He? You know?

1668
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:12,600
Speaker 1: At the time, did He and French would spend a

1669
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,439
Speaker 1: lot of time together, you know, because I'll be wanting

1670
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 1: everybody to get around and just make sure they understand

1671
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 1: the game who they're dealing with. And did He was

1672
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:21,640
Speaker 1: always one of those dudes when when they comes to

1673
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 1: artists from New York. I always felt like he's a

1674
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 1: good part of the half running around New York. So

1675
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:29,360
Speaker 1: he called, He's like, yo, man, you know puff on

1676
01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 1: the sign. What do you think? I said, well, ship, Nick,

1677
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 1: you should do it? He said, what you are? You're

1678
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna feel some kind of way. I said, nigga, you

1679
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:39,360
Speaker 1: are a New York based artist. All right, y'all niggas

1680
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:42,760
Speaker 1: new New York, New York ship, I'm international. I can't

1681
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:45,080
Speaker 1: do shipped from you until you break in New York anyway.

1682
01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:47,680
Speaker 1: They know what I can do it for you, you know,

1683
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,280
Speaker 1: and that nigga believe in you. I'm not gonna tell

1684
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: you no lie how that nigga believe in you. So

1685
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:55,360
Speaker 1: I restarted Diddy and Didd he was like, because I

1686
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:57,679
Speaker 1: just did the joint venture with Diddy in Red Cafe

1687
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 1: right shortly before, you know, and He's like, Yo, Nick,

1688
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: I'll tell you we got another. We got another. What's

1689
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 1: so with this nigga? French? I said, did he? Man? Listen? Please,

1690
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 1: if that nigga want to be with you and you

1691
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 1: feel like this is something that you can take the

1692
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 1: next level, Let's work these things out. Let's just let

1693
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:14,640
Speaker 1: him go. Let you don't make it happen, because I

1694
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:18,240
Speaker 1: think I always felt like, you know, collaboration is gonna

1695
01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:20,240
Speaker 1: be the key to your advancement anyway, but you gotta

1696
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:22,560
Speaker 1: just make sure you got the right partner, you know

1697
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:25,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And the things that did he could

1698
01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 1: do for French at that time, I didn't have the

1699
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,720
Speaker 1: time to do it for him. French is like my

1700
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 1: little brother, and I wanted to make sure he got

1701
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 1: the best of the best for what it is he

1702
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 1: was trying to do. And at that time, I thought,

1703
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 1: did he was that guy? You know what I'm saying.

1704
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:40,600
Speaker 1: So we make sure that deal happened for him and

1705
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 1: bad Boy. So now that deal didn't happen, are you

1706
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:46,640
Speaker 1: in that deal? Like you know what I mean? Like

1707
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:56,519
Speaker 1: I told you ill build him to fly? Yeah, yeah,

1708
01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't. Like, I don't think that I don't know

1709
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna smooth as I don't. I don't lock

1710
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 1: them down to where they can't move. Okay, this nigga

1711
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 1: is an honorable nigger. You don't let the nigga go?

1712
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: Why not? Like, why not? Look where you're at the

1713
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:20,040
Speaker 1: day though, look at him, and there's nothing. It ain't

1714
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 1: not for me to pick up the phone and say,

1715
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 1: your friends, I need this, I need that. No, don't

1716
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 1: get it. I mean it's it's only empowered me. But

1717
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 1: is there ever any move that you actually made that

1718
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 1: you regret it anyway? Like you mean, as far as

1719
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 1: artists anything, just like you you did it as artists. Oh,

1720
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 1: the one the one thing that I do regret though,

1721
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: And I think I would have probably handled a different

1722
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 1: with the mindset obviously what the mindset I had now.

1723
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 1: But if I can still have the mindset had then

1724
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 1: and make a better decision, was that Pokeepsie situation. That's

1725
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:52,640
Speaker 1: the one thing that I did it on the ground. No, no, no, no,

1726
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:56,439
Speaker 1: Not that d don't toss enough kids off the stage.

1727
01:43:56,920 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 1: Well that man, that nigga was no kid. Wait, I

1728
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: forgot what happened in this situation, but it was a

1729
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:07,719
Speaker 1: big concert in Poughkeepsie, New York, and I was performing

1730
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 1: headlining and as I'm in the middle of performance, somebody

1731
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:15,400
Speaker 1: threw something on stage at me and I caught it

1732
01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 1: like right before me, and I looked, and at that time,

1733
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:23,760
Speaker 1: I just felt disrespected, like I was always when it

1734
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 1: comes to disrespect, I just don't know how to handle that,

1735
01:44:25,560 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 1: Like I just don't let nobody respect me, especially from

1736
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 1: the twenty people. So I was like, yeah, who threw that?

1737
01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 1: And the bill crowds were like I just literally you're

1738
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 1: literally pointed him out and I was like, yo, get

1739
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: him up here. And as he's coming up to the stage,

1740
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, Okay, what could I possibly do

1741
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 1: to this nigga? Let everybody know they're disrespectful at Volunteer.

1742
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 1: They actually they brought him to me, and in my mind,

1743
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,280
Speaker 1: I said, okay, cool, I'm just gonna knock him out

1744
01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: on the day. But then when he came, you have

1745
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:03,640
Speaker 1: knocked him out, you just kept reform. Oh No, I

1746
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:07,160
Speaker 1: just knocked him out and just kept reforming. Yeah, but

1747
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:09,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have cared because I got I got it out.

1748
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: But then when he came, because they brought the side

1749
01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 1: of stage, he came. I just saw the look on

1750
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:18,160
Speaker 1: his face, like the nigga was happy to be up.

1751
01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 1: He was like, so I'm looking, I'm like, damn, this

1752
01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 1: ni is actually a real fan like and he's happy

1753
01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 1: to be here. So in my mind, maybe he was

1754
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:31,960
Speaker 1: just doing that to get my attention round house king

1755
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 1: him no no. But so that made me not knock

1756
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:36,880
Speaker 1: him out. But I said, he still gotta you know,

1757
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 1: he still gotta something got because because even if they

1758
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:41,720
Speaker 1: for him, is for everybody out there, I think they

1759
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:44,599
Speaker 1: could do the same thing. So I was like, yeah,

1760
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:51,559
Speaker 1: so I had to find a punishment that wouldn't kill

1761
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 1: him or heard him, but at the same time will

1762
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:56,720
Speaker 1: give the word out that I didn't wanted to be

1763
01:45:56,760 --> 01:46:00,080
Speaker 1: sucking out thing. So I said, I got it, and

1764
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 1: I said you wanna be you want you know, throw,

1765
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 1: They're gonna stay. So at the time when I feel

1766
01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:06,519
Speaker 1: like I for an eye, you throw somebody, may I'll

1767
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:10,519
Speaker 1: throw you. Right, I just picked him up, sauce soft

1768
01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: spot and tossed them over there. You know that's how

1769
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:22,559
Speaker 1: it was happened, did it? It was like Cardy Be's

1770
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 1: a little baby picture. Yeah, but that's exactly what happened, right,

1771
01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 1: you would like Cardy be a little bit. Ain't that

1772
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 1: what happened? And then what was this? That? This was?

1773
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:42,920
Speaker 1: What would you have done different though you said that

1774
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 1: you would have done that differently, what would you have done? Yeah, Honestly,

1775
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:49,560
Speaker 1: after that happened, I would have just kept going on

1776
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:51,200
Speaker 1: with the show, like I ain't even I ain't even

1777
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:54,840
Speaker 1: see it now, you know. But then I stopped the music.

1778
01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 1: I got mad dramatic that you hold on, stop them

1779
01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 1: stop mute. Ohally the nigga. I'm just winning. Oh, in

1780
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 1: my mind everybody saw it, like in my mind because

01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 1: I saw it, everybody saw it, and it's a mind

1782
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: you're probably my mind state. Then it was just different,

1783
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It was just different, ignorant.

1784
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:23,800
Speaker 1: That's the only thing we take back in life. Sick.

1785
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:26,360
Speaker 1: That's it. You're not gonna throw that nigga in the

1786
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 1: crowd again. That's it. Everything else, I'm glad to have
