And that's 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.360 that's that's making a big statement, yea. But he has 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.359 a song called almost famous, man that you put that 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.720 out because every time my head, excuse every time my head, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.799 my throat get big, because I know where he went through. 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.000 I know what he's going through.

Now that you are famous, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.679 you're probably like one of the most famous people that 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.600 don't like fame, like you like the money that comes 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.640 with it. You know, you enjoy the money, the fame part. 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:41.840 I mean sometimes I believe you detested why because I 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.480 don't believe it's here yet I'm still in the same 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.280 frame of mind. And that's not saying that I'm still 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:53.680 in the same position. I mean to me, I mean, 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.760 I I can't detest that fact. But I guess we're 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:02.240 gonna go fame levels. You feel me you got y'all 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.240 might look at me.

But 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.600 then I only know that I'm not because I'm never 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.880 in the same Like i might be in the same conversation, 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.719 but I'm not in the same building.

But what I mean, yeah, yeah, I'm 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.920 gonna do my thing. But then it's like I ain't 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.200 like Slim, Like I want to be at the award show, 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.240 you know what I'm saying, Like I'm you know, shout 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.000 out to snail, he all about and fuck that Texas 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.880 and you know, you know, you know how the slim is. 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.160 But me, I want to be in their conversation. I 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.800 want to be in their room to be like, oh yeah, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.040 oh let me show you how something. Man. But my 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:11.720 top button right quick can show you all what it is, 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.520 like I'm really in the rap game, like the money 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.680 is dope, like how you said. But I want a 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.120 motherfucker to know that I'm something to be. I'm something 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.600 to be, I'm something to be studied on what I do? 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.040 You know what I'm saying, Uh, not threatening, but I 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.160 mean it's a sport and I enjoyed playing and I 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.000 never get to play with these people. So to me, 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.040 I'm like, yeah, man, I'm joining on the Wooler re Escort. 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.400 I won't be joined in the NBA though, right, Yeah, 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.040 So that's probably what that means. You know, do you 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:49.520 believe that your disposition sometimes shake people make them not 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.280 necessarily want to do business with you and put you 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.480 in and put you in that a in that same building. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:01.200 It probably could, but go ahead, but I think more 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.000 and so of I gotta stick motel on me. I 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.480 gotta stick model a stickmat of that's followed me for 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.800 a long time. And uh, all of us know what 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.960 some of them are than a lot of people don't 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.200 know what none of them are. Because I actually I 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.880 showed the enthusiasm to people that I want to work, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.600 that I want to be in the same position. But 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.320 I mean it's a lot of bad ship that followed 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.600 me and there's a lot of cool you know, zero 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.800 it's not bad. It's not bad as you think. It's 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.160 really nice. People really want to funk with you, they 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.720 just don't know how to find you. And that's one 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.200 of the dispositions, right, That's that's really what I'm talking about, 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.880 because you have your disposition is pretty much you tell 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.880 people every day you remind them one deep, there ain't 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:53.480 no such thing as friends, only associates. And sometimes I 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.880 think people will take that literally like all the way, 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.440 you know, Like they don't they don't see uh, they 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.440 don't see any opportunity for leeway. They're like, OK, this 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.840 is how seven. Yeah, But it's it's a business too. Really, 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.760 this is a business that he uh is in And 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.320 I have worked with Row on numerous occasions, and rows 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.480 a huntred percent about the business. But when you're gonna 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:22.559 do that feature on always features he done, it sounds 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.280 see if he's done a song on your album, oh 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.560 not on his.

I'm gonna 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:18.160 say that because you have the potential to be in 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.960 the room, to be in the building with everybody else.

Now, I probably was 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.839 dressed like a zero because I ain't have ship, you know, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:25.160 white beat up some cakes and ship, Uh maybe a 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.760 Oozia or some sh it like I'm just high being 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.719 the street because I ain't know.

I 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.560 don't All I remember was milking some cookies and then 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.600 all of a sudden they was doing this. This is 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.720 my only memory with my mama. So I can say 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.600 that I don't. I can't say I don't know what 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.800 it feels like to not have a MoMA, because I mean, 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.800 you know, my my auntie stepped in and did all 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:59.320 the motherly ship possible. But I mean, like, I don't 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.920 really know how affected me. It's just mother's dad feel funny, 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.160 you know what I'm saying, birthday feel funny, because you know, 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.560 you gotta what she if. It weren't a daddy either, 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.440 so it was just it was my untie and my grandmother, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.880 So I don't really know what it did. I mean, 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.720 I was I was raised by women. They ain't raised 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.080 no hope, I can say that, but I don't really 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.680 know what it feel like. I know it affected me 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.880 in in some type of way because I used to 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.480 miss that aspect, you know what I'm saying. When it's 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.440 you know, the bring your kid to work day and 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.200 I have this other ship up bring your child lunch. 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.640 You know that ship ain't happened from my mother. So 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.840 I know it did something. Do you think it affected 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:47.240 you with your music in anyway? And it's so more 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.360 positive or negative? I want to say probably like a 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.840 probably that strate of the fence situation between the both 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.160 of them. Yeah, I think it was on on one. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.720 On one side, I think it damaged a lot of 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:04.400 ship with me and women. I guess about you ain't 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.320 gonna be here for long type ship anyway, so I'm 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.240 not gonna whatever. And then on the other side, it's 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.560 like if my mama was here, she let me hustle hard, 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.720 let me do this ship like she here, you know, 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.240 so I can prove to my mom I'm worth her legacy, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.040 you know what? I'm saying type ship, you know how 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:27.119 all of us do, like on like on one of 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.080 your verses when you was like, you know, boy, my 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.960 mama crib and I did before she died, type ship. 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.560 I want to know what that feels like, you know 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.880 what I'm saying, to be able to but I'll never 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:39.680 be able to know what that type of ship feels 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.720 like to come in and be like Mama straight A's 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.720 Mama first gold plaque like that. I don't I don't 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.640 know what that ship feels like. And I dish really 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.760 loaned to want to know how that ship feels Damn man, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.600 I ain't think about that. But you know, I think 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.800 about some of the moment that I didn't have with 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.959 my mom. But then at the same time, I had 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.240 a lot of a lot of a lot of moments 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:11.119 that I can recall that you didn't get, right, So 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.760 I think we all have our moments, you know, like 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.840 if and then some of us don't get any moments 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.960 because we don't have any recollection my mother at all. 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.800 That's that's gotta be that's gotta be a heavy burden 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.800 because I know personally, you know, it does affect me. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.360 Certain things do affect me. But I have to always 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:38.760 try to remind myself to look at the glasses had 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.359 full right, because there are some people that don't have 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.720 any recollection and I have no mother. I have no 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.000 comment whatsoever because I'm still with I'm still with my 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:53.280 mom and I talked to him every day, right, you know, yeah, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:59.320 And I can tell you it's a it's a beautiful 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.040 blessing to be able to watch, you know, you grow 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.840 up and watch your mama grow up too, you know 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:11.600 what I mean. And as you're turning into a man, 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.440 you know, your mama turned into a grandma, you know 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.560 what I'm saying. And you watch your you watch your 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:24.760 mother turn into this really really nice lady takes you know, 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.320 excellent care of her grandkids and do all that, and 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.119 you're like, damn it, it's the same moment that I 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.560 grew up with that was that would bust my ass 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.280 if I did something wrong. You know, you get to 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:38.800 watch that transition. Man, I sure hate that. Um you 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.320 didn't get that, man, you know what I mean? Your mom, 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:47.000 your your mother, man, Wow, it's a it's it's a 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:53.880 love that you cannot even measure. You know, your mother's 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.960 love is wow. And I hate that. I hate that 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.600 with it. That's a very good point, Brad, because I 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.359 often think, you know me and my mind, we had 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.800 a tumultuous relationship. Yea, your mama kill you. Yeah, but 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.400 she was a beautiful lady man, she was super sweet. Man. 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:14.280 But the thing is that I often think if my 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:19.920 dad share that same type of energy with me, what 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:24.159 I had been so forgiving. I grew up, let's have it. 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.600 I grew up in an era where you love mama 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.560 no matter what, good, better and different. It's like Pox said, 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:34.800 even though you was a crack a black queen, mama. 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.200 I grew up in that era. I can't even imagine 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.080 swinging on my mama like some of these youngsters do 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:46.040 today and talking to him and talking down the way. 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.680 I can't imagine that. That's just I just be thinking, like, 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.240 get the hell out of the way, lighting and gonna 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.560 strike that ass. You know. In my mind, I'm like, 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:57.040 it's just when I think of those type of situations, 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.959 when you talk about a disobedient child not living long, 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.800 I just I don't want to be around those types 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.880 of people. People that people that that treat their mothers badly, 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:10.480 you know, I don't want to be around those type people. 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.359 Even if your mom treats you back to me, it's like, 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.399 you know what, just keep your distance, just get away. 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:17.720 You know, it's better, just get away. But I wouldn't 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.639 want that on my record, and I don't want to 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:22.920 be around people that had that on that record. I 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.880 don't want to be around dudes who who who talked 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.480 down to their mom's you know, all fathers. I don't 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.560 like to see that at all. You know, it's the 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:34.640 people that none of us perfect, we all have seen 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.960 and falling shot at the glory of God. We're talking 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:41.040 about at the very minimum, at the very minimum, these 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:42.639 are the people that brought you into the world. I 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.680 think that my mother and my father put the fear 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:48.960 of God and me in me early, so did mind. Yeah, 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.840 my mama is not a very big person in statue, 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.159 she's not big at all. In fact, my grandmother is 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.160 smaller than she is. But I don't play no games 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:03.440 with them because you know, I gotta I gotta vision 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:05.800 in my head of how they were when they were younger, 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:08.399 and they didn't play that ship then, so I know 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:10.520 they're not gonna play it now. And I just have 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.080 the utmost level of respect for my mother, my grandmother 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:17.040 and my father because everything that they told me was 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.800 gonna happen, or everything that they told me, you know, 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:24.560 that was it really was. They lived. They lived, you know, 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:29.119 twenty forty years before I got here, so I had 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.320 already seen what I was about to go through. And 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:34.040 for them to break it down to me in the 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.680 in the in the language that I could understand, you know, 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.720 I gotta new. I gotta. I gotta respect for those 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.800 people like you wouldn't believe because what they said was 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.000 there was right there when I got to that point. 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.800 But at least you had enough sense to pepe game. 0:22:48.160 --> 0:23:02.480 Yeah that's important. Have you ever met Yeah? Yeah? Is 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:07.760 he still alive? Is he friendly? I don't. I don't 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:13.960 really know because, uh, because you zero what you save, bro.
