So I remember him 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.719 saying that, and honestly, that was the wrong thing to say. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.520 But what I'm saying is sometimes when you make it everywhere, 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.480 like do you do you continue to keep going or 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.599 do you go go to other ventures? Like you know 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:25.679 what I'm saying, Like, um, like eventually, right, eventually the 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.360 fans will get they'll get so used to you that 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.920 they don't appreciate you as as much. You know what 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.480 I'm saying, Like, yeah, album, this album that you're dropping 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.959 right now could be better than the first one. But 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.560 the fact is that they're gonna be like, oh, that's 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.480 Jeezy's supposed to make a good album. That's kind of 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.760 fucked up, Like like you make some much good music 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.360 that when you make good music, like it's like ah, 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.920 like you never you ever been to do that? That's crazy, 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.679 It's crazy. The Q told me a long time ago. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.240 He's like man's cut, like he just lost one, Like 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:59.240 what you like? Cut? I was, I was doing a 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.280 record with him and moves in the studio. He's like Yo. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.880 He's like, Yo, you gotta understand, like this game is different. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.679 You're gonna you're gonna you're gonna lose fans. You know, 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.760 you might gain them over again, but you're gonna lose fans. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.120 But he just he was telling me, never lose yourself. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.920 To me, it's just like, you know what I'm saying, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.640 a lot of people don't know that. You know, music 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.280 is my talent because I understand it, like I understand 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.760 how to how to connect with people. I've always been 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.960 that dude. Like even when I was growing up, all 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.040 the older cats would tell me they've business like in 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.800 the murpens thing like no, you can't go do it 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.160 like that, do this because I just I saw my 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.360 mind works, so I always process ship and that's that 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.680 was my my one up. Because a lot of people 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.079 don't think you know what I'm saying. That's I'm a thinker. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.040 So for me, it's just like I knew that I 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.960 had to do music to do business. You fel I'm 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.920 saying because music is my talent, but business is my passion. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.520 You know what I'm saying. Because I'm a hustler. I 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.640 understand it. Like I ran tramp houses and I did 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.360 all this ship. I didn't get called. Like when I 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.000 say you ever seen a narco in the booth, I 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.840 mean that ship like all the mother you know, popular 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:06.679 escalt call I'm saying, you know what I'm saying. So 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.079 for me, there's no different If you start off doing 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.920 something this, this, this illegal, whatever it is, and you 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.319 make it through the ranks, it means you know you 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.800 you you thought your way through it. So for me, 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:18.520 I was just thinking my way through to be able 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.280 to do business. So it's just like when he told 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.640 me that, I was already in the mind frame. Now 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.400 I get it. It's no problem because I'm gonna do 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.720 other ship too, Like I'm not gonna let nobody box 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.760 me in. Tell me like I can only just be 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.360 a great artist. My daughter would never wake up and 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.679 just tell you that's all. Father was like, I might 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.480 as well stop that. Being a great brother, you know 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.200 what I'm saying, A great son, you know what I'm saying, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.400 A great a great cousin. That was it. It's like, 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.040 now I can do anything. It's my life. So when 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.199 I even got into music, I was already thinking the 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:45.559 things that I want to do when I sat down 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.160 with Hole. I went to the Magic Show with hove 0:13:48.760 --> 0:14:01.880 On one year like no, no Magic show, but I 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:03.760 went with him and I was just like, yo, yo, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.959 this ship is crazy and and yeah we want this 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.800 rocketwell booth ship was crazy and it was crazy because 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.679 when me and him, he's like, yo, let's take a walk, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.959 and we're just walking through the Magic Show, everybody was 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.600 like yo jeezy and they were champion. I'm just like, 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.760 what the fuck. He's like, yo, we love you man. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.960 I was just like okay. He's like, no, we want 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.360 to know. It's me a whole walk. He's like, we 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.480 want to tell you know, thank you for you know, 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.080 putting money in everybody's pockets and looking out for everybody. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.560 And I'm like, how I do that? You know what 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.800 I'm saying. But what I didn't understand was they were 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.760 selling the Snowman shirts. So when they when you going 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.600 to these people boots and they stacked to the moon 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.520 and they're buying them in Bolk. You trade my brackets, 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.120 you trade market at the time, and nah, Gregg Street 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:49.400 told me too, But I was like, yo, man, I'm 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.000 trying to sell records. I'm gonna sell you know. He 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.120 just like somebody trying to tell you, you know, sell 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.200 green and you sell something else, Like I don't want 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.720 about this ship. So for me, you know what I'm 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.400 saying that, that was my first indication. When I went 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.000 back and home, I was like, you, I think I 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:03.800 want to do this. And so he put me with 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:08.040 the Russians that was running there, was doing rock Away 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.720 at the time, and I came up with with h 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.760 U S D eight, which is my line at the time. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.520 So that was my first real business venture. And I 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.320 remember the Rustling called me. He was like, yo, you know, 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.360 it's crazy. The government shut us down and we're not 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.920 gonna be able to, uh, you know, do your brand. 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.800 And all that time, I had already had products pressed 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.800 up and everything, and I was like, what's the problem. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:31.960 He said, the government put a cease and assists on 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.760 us D eight. So I'm sitting in Miami. I'm like 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.560 at the crib like ship. So he's like, what we're 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.440 gonna do. Its like, give me twenty minutes, I'll call 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.280 you back. I called him back. I said, this is 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.200 what we're gonna do. We're gonna change it. The eight, 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.000 seven thirty two. He was like, okay, but what does 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.560 that mean. I said, we're back in the day if 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.200 you didn't want nobody to know what you was doing, 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:55.000 if you paid somebody, you would use it the numbers 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.840 and the letters and you swopped them out. So that's 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.520 how I did that. And that was like my first 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.880 like successful business venture. And I saw I was making 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.400 money when I was sleeping. I was like, yo, I 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.320 like this, you know what I'm saying a lot of 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.600 people didn't know that I was, you know, making moves 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.600 because it just looks smooth, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.360 And I was really like that was like my first 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.880 indication like hold up, I can I can really do 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.400 business outside of you know this. But it went back 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.280 to what C was saying. It was just like I'm 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.800 not gonna let just one thing I did great define me, 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.520 you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm putting this position 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.400 so I could do anything, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.040 So it's just like whether there's records, you know, clothing, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.040 whatever it is. If I'm happy about it and I'm 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:38.360 passionate about it, I'm winning promoters too, right. Yeah, And 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.040 that was another thing you know, I just really I 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.160 wanted to rock with Q because I wanted to understand, 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.200 you know, what it was he was doing. Because if 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.000 you really look at the group, you know only two 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:52.480 successful people was him and Dash Easy but that of course, 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.000 but if you look at Dre, you know, Dred hit 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:56.800 a lick in my eyes. You know what I'm saying, No, 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.560 that lick. I was Spendque because you got out here 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.480 and grinding and que stealing a man of the people. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:03.760 You know what I'm saying. You still you see this 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:08.240 big three ship? You know what I'm saying, que vision 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.480 everything he was doing. But I was picking up game 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.359 for him, so I really want He called me. He 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.560 was like, Yo, I had somebody who's gonna do the movie? 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.239 They backed out? Can you do it? I ain't never 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:22.960 acted in my life, you know what I'm saying. Yea scrap. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.399 I'm like reading this ship. I'm just like, yo, all right, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.080 this is my first time. I was seeing the script 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:28.879 of my life, you know what I'm saying. And it 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.880 was on on site. I was in l A. He said, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.399 can you pull up to the set? I pulled up 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.600 and I was shooting the movie an hour, right, But 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.840 I wanted the game though, you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.240 I just wanted to understand how he worked, so I 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.880 just kind of, you know, stuck around him and start seeing. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.840 But it also taught me a lot of ship too, 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.080 because it's like que lives a real life, you know 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.400 what I'm saying. But he's still productive. That's my thing. 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.640 It's just like you, I don't care if you're selling records, 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.840 t shirts, socks, whatever is you. If you're being productive, 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.639 You're productive, bro, Like like like you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:08.080 you know, the craziest thing is I realized like even 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.879 drug dealers like you know, it's just that he's not 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.720 you know what I'm saying, Like, it's it's an adrenaline 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.480 like once you make up. Like me, I used to 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.480 come outside and try to make enough money for the day, 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.040 and then most of the time I would go inside 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.000 after I made enough money for the day. But a 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:24.920 lot of times I would make enough money for the 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.000 day and act like I did and I would just 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.840 stay outside because I was addicted to the adrenaline. Hip 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.399 Hop is the closest thing to being like that with 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.000 a drening like when you drop an album it's a 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.600 certain thing that the artists feel like, you know what 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:39.720 I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying, Like, what 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.960 do you because like sometimes I want to think, am 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.359 I addicted more to the money? Or I might did 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.040 it to be a busy you know, It's like it's 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.320 like Mitch, baby, you love the game, you know what 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.320 I'm saying. But but you know a couple of casts 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.680 and showers, Like, it's so many ways to diversify that ship, 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.159 even yourself. I was talking to somebody about you to day. 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:58.960 I was talking to Davies. I was just like really 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.800 happy for North because he flipped it. You know what 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.040 I'm saying. You still you flipped. You're still in the 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.040 coach and you still you're still shipping Champaine and doing 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.159 your ship and you still got your hands on it. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:11.760 You know what I'm saying. That just got to come 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:13.840 through and see you. But you're on the spanding, That's 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:20.840 what's all. But that's what it's about, you know what 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.480 I'm saying. It's like when you was on the block 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.360 and one product slowed up, you gotta find something that sell. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.000 You might not even know nothing about it exactly, but 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:29.680 you gotta do the research and when you get in, 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.320 you're getting the group said you're back. I think I 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.440 think the takeaway from Q and even Nice Tears that 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.560 you get to a place where you're an artist. You 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:40.359
