1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of individuals out there that's saying, don't

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: nobody feel street no more? And every time they give

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: me an example, they talking about somebody that's ramping on beats.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: I think the general public does not understand the graduation

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: process from people that come from the inner city. You

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: graduate from a street nigga's a stab you in the

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: back with a smile on their face. See. I learned

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: this when I got in the game. The first thing

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: they teach you soon you cross over in the industry

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: is how to play dodgeball with your people.

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: Especially people that were close to me. And I'll explain so,

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: like you know, when those type of things happen, people run.

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: They don't care what happened. They don't care. They's like,

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: save yourself. Yeah, you know. So I partners, you know,

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 2: after deals with because my guy from m vmha, man,

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 2: this is coming and I can't get rid of it.

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: I can't take a settlement.

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: And while I do understand why distance itself from Diddy,

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: I do understand and see why some people had that

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: conversation under their breath, like whatever happened to Jay and Diddy?

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Because jay Z goes from gangster rap, street rap New

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: York B boy type dude till he pops up in

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: a shiny suit. Now, if I'm Diddy, I'm saying, that's

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: my game. Z pop out in the shiny suit. If

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm Diddy and I look at him, now, I'm mad

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: at you because that game unlocked your next level. You

27
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: got that level of game from me. I ain't saying

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: come out and support me. Just don't say nothing.

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: What does it mean to you to be at the

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 3: helm of the cultural events so important as it's the

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 3: Super Bowl?

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: I think everyone should should experience music in his totality,

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: and for a lot of years there was only one

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: side of music that was being represented.

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I disagree with putting a dish record, calling Drake

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: a PDF on the main stage or have ad it

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: have fun.

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: It's almost like on just me by the way they

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: drag everybody in there, like everyone's part of this conspiracy

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: to undermine Drake.

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: I guess it's something that mainstream doesn't know about. You

42
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: and jay Z have different avenues to amplify that, and

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that you sacrifice one of ours. You

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: don't sacrifice one of your own to push battling up

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: a little bit sacrifice one of our biggest artists. Maybe

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: when jay Z looks at Coach, he says, yeah, that's

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: not one ours, and you're welcome to us up there, podcast.

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: I am big on your active and attractive host for

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: another episode of the Fast Grown Podcast. Ah man, it's

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: been a minute. It's been a minute. I'll be honest.

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: I was floating around the idea of cutting down on

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: doing solo podcasts, but there was an overwhelming request that

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: I get back in, so I'm gonna give it, give

54
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: it another goal. You know, the business can sustain with

55
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: me dealing with my Patreon people and with us dealing

56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: with the interview side of the business also, I think,

57
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: because I can always fall back on the strength what

58
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to do, Just to give y'all some

59
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: insight on even why the decision is being floated around.

60
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: It's a number of things, right, some things behind the scenes,

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: some things in front of the camera. But what I'm

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: trying to do as it pertains to a business for

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: me and particularly is I'm positioning myself to require more

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: from the interview side of the business. Somewhere in that,

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: I guess there's some space in room. And why I'm

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: capable of saying that. Sometimes I feel it's undervalue, and

67
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: then I look myself in the mirror and say, look

68
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: where you came from. You did that from doing solo

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: episode like I for the most part, I really got

70
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: rich and got on and got my notoriety from solo episodes.

71
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I was the first podcast that approached the market podcast

72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: market without a co host. That was none be for me.

73
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: And so when you go and do through the record

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: books and you pay attention to that, and I came out,

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: I was on fire man. I had so much to

76
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: say and was filled with so much and today we're

77
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna get into some of it. And this is why

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying about the universe right, it's completely perfect because

79
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: while I'm floating that idea around, right and for me

80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: to justify it, and because I don't give up on things,

81
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: and I don't even view it as a give up,

82
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: because I would have viewed it as yo.

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: Loan.

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: What you're doing is you're forcing the interview side of

85
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: the business to keep up, because when I get into

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: those conversations, I can always talk about yo. We also

87
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: got the solo side of the business, like loun can

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: go out on his own and do three hundred thousand

89
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: with no guests. So pitch, if we scale that up

90
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: and he does that two or three four times a week,

91
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: and then we get consistent with that, and then the

92
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: audience is waiting on that, and we can have a

93
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: show that's doing five six seven million a week just

94
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: with him solo, nobody else over. He lows right. So

95
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: from a business perspective, it makes sense to double down

96
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: on that. And so that's my thought process. But at

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: the same time, you got to remember, as a businessman,

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: I have an entire payroll. I got a staff that

99
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: I pay that is only there to strengthen the interview

100
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: side of the business. And of course you know some

101
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: of the administrative things on the backside. But while this

102
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: is going on, and while I'm flowing these ideas around,

103
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: Jay Z comes out with an interview. I said, see,

104
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: this is what I love about the universe. It'll answer

105
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: you if you're paying attention, if you're listening, if you're looking,

106
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: if you're alert. I call it bluetooth mold. There's so

107
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: much I can talk, like, I got so much to

108
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: talk about, Like even right now, we got to deal

109
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: with the fact that there's a lot of individuals out

110
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: there that saying, don't nobody feel street niggas no more?

111
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: And every time they give me an example, they talking

112
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: about some nigga that's ramping on beats. I think the

113
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: general public does not understand the graduation process from people

114
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: that come from the inner city. You graduate from a

115
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: street nigga. Today we're gonna get into some of this.

116
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, I don't take notes. I go

117
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: straight off the top of the head. I think that

118
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: speaks to our ability to survive man in deep waters,

119
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: with anybody, with any one of these gentlemen. And I

120
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: thank y'all for being here today. Come to patreon dot

121
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: com to support me. Right now, be a really great

122
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: time to support me, because as I look around, you know,

123
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know how to feel about a

124
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of these individuals. And then I got to talk

125
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: about Rolloh and Thug and baby and all these different things,

126
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: right wood and all this shit. See one thing, you

127
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: gotta know, I'm extremely intelligent, and I hate to be

128
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: vain and say that, but somebody got to say it.

129
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Somebody gotta say it. See sometime I look around like,

130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: ain't nobody somebody gotta say it. Even the motherfuckers you

131
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: think know it. I know you niggas know it. Somebody

132
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: gotta say it, though I ain't gonna be afraid to

133
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: say it. I stand on business. I'm too smart to

134
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: be bitter. But one of the more hurtful things I'm

135
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: seeing lately, Like I'm seeing a lot of things happening,

136
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: but it's a few things I'm gonna speak to today, And

137
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: so as I look around at the game, I'm looking

138
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: for other than me. I'm like, yo, if I don't

139
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: say nothing like these niggas all say it right, Like

140
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: these boys that get it done right, they'll be able

141
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: to say it right. They'll be able to put it together.

142
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: They'll keeep it right. We all big dogs, right. I

143
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: never hear it. What is it someone that can articulate

144
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: the intricate details to pathway, what it takes to navigate

145
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: those shallow waters that we call the ghetto, that y'all

146
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: call the inner city, that I can identify with, but

147
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: I escaped. It's a movement that eighty percent and I

148
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 1: being charitable, eighty percent of black men and black boys

149
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: getting identified with it, even if they haven't lived it.

150
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: They got a cousin that did they got an auntie?

151
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: That did? They gotta you dig? So we're dealing with

152
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: resources for the boots on the ground. And that, my friend,

153
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: has been the thing that has frustrated me the most

154
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: about this game, because I'm thinking about them like, yo, loan,

155
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: you got in, you got rich. Everything's going great, the

156
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: business is booming, your overhead is low. You just did this,

157
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: that and the third you just cast out on. You're

158
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: doing tremendous. What's the problem. And I took a look

159
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: at myself because I take hard looks at myself here

160
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: and that I do inventory, personal inventory, And I said,

161
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: you know what it is? Long there you go, trying

162
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: to help everybody. You're looking at the game and you're saying,

163
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: oh fuck, that's the fucking dot. There you go. They're

164
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: looking at it as entertainment, still loan. They ain't looking

165
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: at it as the pathway. They ain't looking at it

166
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: as the resources loan. That's the problem. Sometimes I look

167
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: at all these niggas, they fighting and boxing and laughing

168
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: and joking, and I say, God, why I can't get

169
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: on the mic and play God? Why when I come

170
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: I gotta always be a minister Lord? Why I can't

171
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: get on the mic and just get on here, keep

172
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: kidding cock card and laid back like Joe Button. Why

173
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: don't get them kind of I've been cursed with being

174
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: able to see the other side. So while they looking

175
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: at this shit it's just random interviews and random people speaking,

176
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: I look at it as this is a rare opportunity

177
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: to pass down information that to people that you may

178
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: never encounter but can help a bunch of motherfuckers. And

179
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: how do I know Because I got what I got

180
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: only because Niggas was so forthcoming in the early years

181
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: while they was working it out, it was beautiful. The

182
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: CEA go broke and come out and speaker. I mean

183
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: that right now and so and he said, this family

184
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: and trying to fit what's going on. I'm trying, Nigga,

185
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: I know, I'm what the and so for him to

186
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: work that out in real time in front of us,

187
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: us creators, it gave us a handbook. It gave us insight,

188
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: It was introspective, it was real value. See, I'm from

189
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: the golden age of content and I'm having trouble adjusting.

190
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: I come from the age when you see an interview

191
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: and it come out and you say, you know, what

192
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: oh shit, J just sat down. Nigga is right here.

193
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Nigga companies get started based on these interviews. Bills get restruction.

194
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Conversations are different. Friend, leverage is found from some of

195
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: these motherfucking interviews, Nigga. And I said, that's the difference.

196
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: I look at it like a handbook. I'm looking at

197
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: it like when we when we talking to each other, Nigga,

198
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: we talking to some of these people. And so that's

199
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: why I'm saying, number one, they can't respect this kind

200
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: of game. It's too high level, it's too potent. The

201
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: soda don't even do nothing to it. You can cut

202
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: this shit. Ain't nothing going on. This is really potent

203
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: shit that I got going on. So number one, it's

204
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: the spirit of Tupac when they know I can speak

205
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: that hustle of shit. I can't live it no more, Nigga.

206
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm too important, and so you ain't gonna be able

207
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: to trick me into living it. I got off on

208
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: a tangent. You know the funny thing about the game

209
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: when I first got in, and I'm still passionate, but

210
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: I get it. I get how niggas get a few

211
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: dollars and say, man, fuck out there fighting for this shit. Nigga,

212
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I got what I'm a half nigga. This shit here

213
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: old it. I ain't finna keep fighting for this shit.

214
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, in this game, it teaches you a lot

215
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: of things. The thing about how it teaches you is

216
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: the impressive thing. It's not in the traditional format. Niggas

217
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: will stab you in the back with a smile on

218
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: their face. It's like a new little twist st on it.

219
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: You know.

220
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: They'll pencil whip you, they have dinner with your mother,

221
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: They'll promise you and your family things, and then disappear

222
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: on you and think there's no calmer retribution. One of

223
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: the more uncomfortable things for people like me in particular,

224
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: the ones that can't be changed by the game. It's

225
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: that as you get old, see you still biting with

226
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: your teeth faint. You understand what I'm saying. I come

227
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: from a game. It's what we do. You dig what

228
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know, nigga might come spend a fifty

229
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: witch and then soon you take man that niggas selling

230
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: bad work. Shit ain't no good man the here, you

231
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So we come from a place

232
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: where business was never personal and so I won't say

233
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: this game is much different in that aspect, but I

234
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: do know that it's a sad day when a hustler

235
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: or a real one, he been biting at it so

236
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: long and fighting back so long, and fighting at it

237
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: so long and keeping it real so long that he

238
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: just lay on down. Fucking fuck all this keeping it

239
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: real shit, nigga fuck all love. That's one thing this

240
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: game try to teach you how to do. Say br

241
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: you already got it, laid on down family, Fuck them niggas,

242
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: all that helping niggas, all that looking back, man, it

243
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: costs you more than it here. Niggas that go out

244
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: and start really campaigning about fuck them niggas after they

245
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: done got rich, run your whole campaign on I fuck

246
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: with us and it's about us get rich. And then

247
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: it turned in to fuck them nigga us because it

248
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: costs them too much to help. Now it's inconvenience, and

249
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: when you get rich, everything is about convenience. Even when

250
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: these niggas speak up for black people, it's quite convenient

251
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: at the times that they come out and speak because

252
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: if niggas was truly big, homeis we in the South

253
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: right now? We need an emergency meeting. But it's our

254
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: peons in position. Too many niggas with egos. I'm always

255
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: tell you to take care of yourself. I ain't gonna

256
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: never holler. Just fuck them niggas, because I understand the pathway,

257
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: the small percentage of us that's even gonna make it

258
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: through them all fucking cross the border over here into

259
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: this other little area where you can make money and

260
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: do some legal shit. Nigga. That's like crossing the border

261
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: for an immigrant. And so I can't see myself cutting

262
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: the board off, But I watch these bitch ass niggas

263
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: run around and get money, and the first thing they

264
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: do is cut the boarder off. Damn homie, how many

265
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: Lamborghinis you need? We all got money, Nigga. Ain't gonna

266
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: shut these folks lights off. If anything, I'm gonna say,

267
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it in the I'm gonna leave it

268
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: in the books. I'm gonna leave it on the pause.

269
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it in the interviews. Go get it,

270
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: young nigga. That's how I'm coming. I'm gonna every time

271
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: I speak Die Jessey, go get it, young nigga. I

272
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: can't talk to everybody I'm an old man. I been

273
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: gnawing at this motherfucking life all along. I can't talk

274
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: to everybody. I'm gonna leave it in the interviews. It's

275
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: in there. How I done, it is in there. I

276
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: ain't like these niggas. How I done, it is in there.

277
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: Go get it, young nigga. Mindset is in there, you

278
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: understand me. And so these niggas have tucked the ball

279
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: and gone home with they ball. See, I learned this

280
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: when I got in the game. The first thing they

281
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: teach you soon you cross over in the dustry is

282
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: how to play dodgeball with your people. You ever shoot

283
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: one of these bitch ass niggas a DM and I

284
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: all sadden, Oh, he don't even check dms no more,

285
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: don't it. What he's wont for you to do is

286
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: is play into it is say ay you a bitch

287
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: ass nigga. My nigga, Oh damn, what happened? Bride didn't

288
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: even see it? Now here we is. Now we in

289
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: this weird place. You have grown men playing mind games

290
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: because the industry has taught these niggas. Some of these

291
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: niggas been in the industry since they were fifteen seventeen.

292
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: These little Boys is fucked up, man. These little boys

293
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: like little girls. They done taught these niggas how to

294
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: play dodgeball. I was asking myself what to make a

295
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: nigga operate with such low integrity. It's because they've been

296
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: in the industry too long. In the industry, you wor

297
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: it ain't your word. The sales ain't even to say else.

298
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: The company ain't worth what it's worth seeing business. They

299
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: have what's called evaluation. They put a ten multiple on

300
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: it without even seeing the money. All this shit is

301
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: just in the air. We didn't come from that. But

302
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: once you spend enough time across the border, you start

303
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: to pick up on the accent. And so sometimes you'll

304
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: deal with these niggas with subpart celebrity status, not saying

305
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: to myself, you know, always looking at the camera, run

306
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: and j Cole's situation and came run filed the lawsuit,

307
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: and I was saying to myself, you know what, maybe

308
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: you know that, maybe that's the wrong thing to do, right,

309
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: And then I got to thinking, look how these rap

310
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: guys played my guy, the ones I really fuck with them.

311
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: I fuck with them. They know who they But a

312
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: lot of these rap niggas in this industry, they weird

313
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: niggas home. It's almost like that intentionally try to anger

314
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: you and then call you emotional. It's almost like some

315
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: low level game they running. And so if I would

316
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: have took that to an even higher level, I would

317
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: have said, Yo, you know, maybe they understand what I

318
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: unders which is what that anger poisons you. Nigga. You

319
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: can't get angry. Don't get angry at the bitch ass niggas.

320
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: Identify these niggas, Diagnose these niggas. You understand me, and

321
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: get away from these niggas. But do not get angry

322
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: at these niggas, because angry poisons you, nigga, and we

323
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: on the journey. I'm gonna get rich no matter who

324
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: answer they phone. If niggas don't call me, don't answer

325
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: their phone, don't pick up a text, if niggas don't

326
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: answer DM, I'm gonna get rich no matter what. It's

327
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: a call into the universe from happy meal to half

328
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: a meal. The first thing that'll happen when you encounter

329
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: a man with low character who has made a way

330
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: for himself in a game and been blessed by God

331
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: to participate in the industry that has now made him wealthy.

332
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: The first thing you'll hear him say, and if he

333
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: says this, you know he has low character, is he'll

334
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: try to convince you to don't help nobody else, save

335
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: yourself and get the fuck as far as you can.

336
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: And as much as I feel him, the message is

337
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: much more complicated. I think there's a very low chance

338
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: that this gentleman have any type of understanding about how

339
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: loaded that that phrase is. So I won't give him

340
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt that he's putting down some

341
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: high level game. I think they'll be speaking to his heart,

342
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: and so they effectively try to teach you how to

343
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: play dodgeball with your people, get you some money, get on,

344
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: get away from your people. Be safe. I'm gonna tell

345
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: you to be safe. I'm gonna tell you to be careful,

346
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: but I want your heart clean. I left the ghetto unscale.

347
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: I don't hate the ghetto like these gentlemen. A lot

348
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: of these boys was kicked around in the ghetto. A

349
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: lot of these boys been jacked and beat up and

350
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: robbed and shot. And you understand me, there's a process.

351
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: Respect the process, but don't follow these building old niggas.

352
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this jay Z interview for people who

353
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: don't know. Jay Z popped out, It's having two shows

354
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: in Yankee Stadium, It's doing a bunch of press. This

355
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: is the twenty fifth year for reasonable doubt. I'm sorry,

356
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: this is the thirtieth year. I believe for reasonable down

357
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: in twenty fifth year for blueprint or vice versus. I'm sorry,

358
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: y'all can in fact check me on that jay Z's

359
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: coming out and speaking to the people. I think it's

360
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: valuable when people like him come out and today I

361
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: want to have a conversation about some of the things

362
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: surrounding it before we even get into the interview. I

363
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: think jay Z said some things that for me was interesting.

364
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: He came out and he said, you know what, played

365
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot of defense last year twenty twenty six is

366
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: our offense. And I've been screaming at the people. If

367
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: you find yourself on defense, you haven't lost, but you're losing.

368
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: I can't see why they got send my bad. Ain't

369
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: tell them folks sending my bag. If you find yourself

370
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: on defense, you have not lost, but you're losing. You

371
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: got to be able to do both. There's a time

372
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to play defense, but you have to

373
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: get back on offense as quick as possible. Like you

374
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: be under attack, you know, online, under attack, online under attack.

375
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: You know, anybody attacking you online. You know, you got

376
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: to really understand what you're dealing with. You got to know. See,

377
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: we come from the ghetto. When you really come from

378
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: the inner city and you done had any kind of money,

379
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, Niggas want to spit in your food. Niggas

380
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: want to spend in your food, homie, because they can't

381
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: stop the plate from coming now. They can't stop a

382
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: nigga from putting something on the plate now, so at

00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: bench they want to spend in your food. You understand.

Speaker 1: you get money. You understand me. Look like you're getting

386
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: more than me. I'm a hater bit on their shit,

387
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: you understand me. That's called spinning in a nigga food.

388
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: You don't never validate no niggas trying to spin in

389
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: your food and let that angle poison you. Picture that nigga.

390
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: Picture me letting anger pois in me? You boys, is

391
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: in hell hating on niggas. Man, Come on, man, picture

392
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: me letting that anger poison me. Boys, Please, you understand me.

393
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: Let's look at a little bit of this Jay Z interview. Man,

394
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: he sat down with GQ. Man, I'm good to hear

395
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: from j I like to hear from my graates. I

396
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: like to hear from the people with the information. We're

397
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: gonna get into some of that.

398
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: Pay attention, cause my pocket is always it's like with

399
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: a foot over the over the thing anyway, it's always

400
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: hanging to the last moment, and it's like huh, because

401
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: sometimes I try to fit a lot of words into

402
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: like a small space then that last word, just like

403
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 2: just like get in the door, sticking with a written testimony.

404
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: You have a couple of verses on there that I

405
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: really like because they kind of speak to what's going

406
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 3: on with you in a broader sense in the culture.

407
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 2: Like on Universal Soldier.

408
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: I think it is when you said that you don't

409
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 3: keep the same energy for the DuPonts and the CARNEGIESE.

410
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 3: So I wanted you to talk a little bit about

411
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 3: this idea of like like you said earlier, like the

412
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: things that you do for the culture, the ways that

413
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: you put on the ways that you try to protect

414
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 3: and move forward, but kind of the pushback that you

415
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 3: get sometimes about like people throw capitalists at you in

416
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 3: a derogatory sense.

417
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think in that very specifically. The only thing

418
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: I heard coming up was the American dream until we

419
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: started being successful and it was like, wait a minute,

420
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: you're selling out because you're making money. That was the

421
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: first thing that was put on musicians. People had this

422
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: a law for the struggling artists. That's a my game

423
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: what we would call back in the day for technology.

424
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: It was like, no, I'm not going for that, Like, no, no,

425
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: I make art first, and then I made sure that

426
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: I'm compensated for my art. I didn't take advantage. I didn't.

427
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: I didn't get here by taking advantage of people. I

428
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 2: ain't taking no one, no one. That's not my reputation.

429
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: That's not what I do. I didn't get here by

430
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: taking advantage of people or taking advantage of you know,

431
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: the loopholes in the system, or some wrinkle in like

432
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: a capitalist structure. That structure exists, you know, and I

433
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: just see the world for what it is, not for

434
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: what I want it to be. I'm a realist, not

435
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 2: an ideal it's not idealistic. People speak about the world

436
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: how they want to see it. You're never gonna win

437
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: like that.

438
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 3: He said something just now though about you pushing independence right,

439
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: kind of like in the spirit of prints when you

440
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 3: embody that, do you feel like you are kind of

441
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: setting a mold or leading a charge for like what

442
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 3: the successful black man is allowed to do and breaking

443
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: breaking these spaces, breaking these confines.

444
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I even want you to take that out of

445
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: your vocabulary. Take what allowed? You know what I'm saying,

446
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: We're not allowed to do anything. You know, in order

447
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: for someone to allow you, they have to have authority

448
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: over you. No one has authority over us. We exist

449
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: like everyone else here. No one can allow us to

450
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: do anything. But that question comes, that word comes from

451
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: a real space, and I want to eliminate all those

452
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: type of words for us. Yes, So the answer to

453
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 2: that is yes.

454
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 3: When you're on a mission to eliminate words like allow,

455
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: like you said, do you feel like that makes you

456
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: a target?

457
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes from like.

458
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: It's been thirty minutes right here, But I'm gonna move home,

459
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: Salute JA and salute Phraser right because I'm gonna say

460
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: some things in this part that you know, hopefully Phraser

461
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: don't take away. I think he's great. I think he

462
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: did a tremendous job with this. Of course, I'm gonna

463
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: say some things this episode that you know could be

464
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: framed in a way, but hopefully we have high level

465
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: individuals taking a look at the part in what I'm

466
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: saying and we can digest it for the information that

467
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: I'm trying to put out there and not some like

468
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: hit piece or attack on any other creator in the space.

469
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: Identify that I have an issue that I'm dealing with

470
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: as it pertains to I feel as though we're running

471
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: out of time with some of the people that had

472
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: some of the great information as it pertains to the

473
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: music industry entertaining business, doing business at a high level

474
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: from a certain vantage point, and so I oftentimes request

475
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: a little more insight from those gentlemen, with all due respect.

476
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: But I can spend thirty minutes right here talking about

477
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: him and Kanye when you hear him say something like that,

478
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: like that wor hold on you that word allowed. We're

479
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of Yay does that as well? Now?

480
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: Am I saying Jay is copy and Yate? Of course not,

481
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: low level idiot, you bumped your head. I'm saying, once

482
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: you raise this vibration to a certain level. It changes

483
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: the way you view things. It's a universal outlook. Sometimes

484
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: it may feel familia, but it speaks to us still

485
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: being on the same waveing. And so when you niggas

486
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: do your little podcast out there, I wish some way

487
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: it can have a water mark on it inspired by

488
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: the minister pay attention.

489
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure, for sure, one hundred percent. What's

490
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: what's the nipsey day? Pray for me, y'all one, damn

491
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: gonna have to pay for these thoughts. Real niggas is extinct.

492
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: It ain't safe for me, my dog. They are real

493
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: fucking lyrics.

494
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: You just come back to that a lot in the

495
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: last few years, Like the more I revealed me, the

496
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 3: more they will kill me.

497
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: Stuff like that, who when you say they like who

498
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: is that? Whatever? The threat to However, the system is

499
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: set up to keep things at status quo and keep

500
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 2: us in the position of using words like allaw so

501
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: anyone that that's culpable and creating the system that we

502
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: operate under that stay. Yeah, that's day. And it actually

503
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: goes beyond color because I've been counted that a lot,

504
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: but counted that a lot where it was just like, Okay,

505
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: this successful black man make it. Let me go to him, yeah,

506
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: and for help and they're like, we don't fuck with

507
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: no rabbit shit. Oh wow, not like out like that,

508
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: but yeah, you know that's the energy, like the energy,

509
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 2: it's like you see the energy. Yeah, you know.

510
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: I was thinking about how you described last year as

511
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: being angry, and for the first time in a while,

512
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 3: I wondered what it felt like to be pulled back

513
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 3: into that feeling and how you pulled yourself out or

514
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: how you leaned on the people around you.

515
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've been saying to put y'all needed the people

516
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: around me more than ever because usually when I have

517
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: that feeling, I would just make music and it's be therapeutic.

518
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: I want to get to the point where jay Z

519
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: spoke about putting Kendrick Lamar on the main stage. If

520
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: you're in this industry or just a fan of music,

521
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: you've heard that there's a lot of people that's on

522
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: Drake's side as it pertains to media outlets, Twitter pages

523
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: of what have you, communities and redditors that they now

524
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: have a disdain for jay Z, some of that they

525
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: believe him to feel a way about Drake. He gets

526
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: into why he chose to put Kendrick on the main

527
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: stage while Kendrick was dissing Drake, calling him a PDF

528
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl, pay attention to this.

529
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: I think that was the right choice as a rapper

530
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: first and foremost, and being one of the pillows.

531
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: Heavy and I don't know how to make music that's

532
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: not reflective of how I'm feeling at the moment. It

533
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: would have been fiery, would but I don't know. I

534
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: don't know. I feel I'm all harmed and good, you

535
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like, I don't know, because you know,

536
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: I have a lot of like scratch ideas and they're

537
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: like all bad. To be honest with it, bad, it's

538
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: just like all bad.

539
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 3: The streets really wanted you on that Cliff album.

540
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was close. I was close.

541
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: There's another spot where I think that was kind of

542
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: a missed opportunity. And again, Fraser did a great job.

543
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: Bad this can mean a lot. I didn't take this

544
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: to mean bad as it pertains to the lyrics didn't

545
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: come together in the way that I wanted them to.

546
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: I took it bad. Like the things I'm gonna say

547
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: about the people, the things I may uncover, the things

548
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: I may address, and the way I may address them

549
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: may cost me more than it's worth. The juice ain't

550
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: worth to squeak. And so there's again that this is

551
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And again, if you listen to the

552
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: earlier part of this podcast, what you're dealing with is

553
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: I am from the golden age of content creation, and

554
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: so I come in the game high level potent. I

555
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: understand the levels that these interviews, in these talks with

556
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: some of the most powerful people in our culture, can

557
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: take our culture as it pertains suggest these conversations, I've

558
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: built seven figure businesses off of these interviews. You're looking

559
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: at the product of black men coming out speaking about

560
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: business and not just having their contracts, just leaving kibbles

561
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: and bits out there. The ones of us that seeking

562
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: will find it. We'll put it together. I'll get a

563
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: book from Jay and a book from Ya, and Ross

564
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: may say an accountant, and Shannon may slip up and say,

565
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: who handle is digital? You understand, I may start building

566
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: a company based off niggas is just feeling good? And

567
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: Kanye dropped five names in his breakfast club men, wh

568
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: why these people owed the company? And what is that?

569
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: What's as wow? Wow?

570
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: Right?

571
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: So we learn things from these I look at these

572
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: interviews completely different, and so part of it is that,

573
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: And then part of the selfish side of me, right

574
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: is like when we hear from our people, even though

575
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: we got to share some of these gentlemen, but when

576
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: we hear from them, he speak to us, speak to

577
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: the hustlers, speak to the hustlers. Like a lot of

578
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: y'all be getting that confused too, just because some of

579
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: my hustler alumni is rappers and CEOs, just because some

580
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: of my hustler alumni made a rap that the point

581
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: rappers try to take them like, now this is a rapper. No,

582
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: they hustlers. Speak to the hustlers. When you come out,

583
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: speak to the hustlers. Nigga, he's gonna carry us another

584
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: five years. Boy, we're trying to figure it out what's gone.

585
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: And when everybody is quiet, that's how you have the charlatans.

586
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: Because what happens is when you make the prototype of

587
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: the man with all the money, all the information, and

588
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: all the resources, he never say nothing. He never helped nobody,

589
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: and he never he's never outward with any information. Now,

590
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: these niggas can masquerade like they've done as much as

591
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: you like they have as much information as you because

592
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: if we both quiet, you don't know who know what

593
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: when you gotta come out and start talking about the business, right.

594
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: It's just that level of exposure helps us develop. Otherwise

595
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: we're developing in the dog and that's a skill set

596
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of us have it. And I'm not

597
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: saying leave everything. I'm not saying the things that need

598
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: to be patting it for your family, things that may

599
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: be exclusive to your lineage. I'm saying just some of

600
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: the information the mindset to grind the grit to understanding

601
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: what is the language? What are they saying? Like I

602
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: was telling niggas that these podcast deals, now, if you

603
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: got a large audience, there's a trick down in these

604
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: podcast deals. Sometimes you hear Joe Budden speak about what's

605
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: called a quote unquote hosting fee. It came out of nowhere.

606
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: And so again you have to understand we need to

607
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: hear from some of these gentlemen. But at this particular point,

608
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: I would a drill den on the back. What do

609
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: you mean bad? What do you mean by that? But

610
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: salute the phrase again, no disrespect. You did a tremendous job.

611
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: I really say that sincerely, and I don't usually say that,

612
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not overcompensating. I'm saying that from a general standpoint. Again,

613
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm selfish. Speak to the hustlers because Nigga, the hustlers

614
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: is all you had at first. I know we shame you.

615
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: Make them pay, but speak to us, nigga.

616
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: I think that the first thing that I say it

617
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: has to be saved from me can be like I

618
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: don't want to be so rigid with it though, I'm

619
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 2: gonna keep that open. I'm gonna take that back. But

620
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: at that moment, at that moment, I was like, yeah,

621
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: I want to do something, but in order for me

622
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: to move forward, I gotta get this shit out. I

623
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: gotta get it out.

624
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm talking about putting on for the culture. What does

625
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 3: it mean to you to be at the helm of

626
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 3: the cultural events so important as.

627
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: It's the Super Bowl? I think everyone should should experience

628
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: music in totality, And for a lot of years there

629
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: was only one side of music that was being represented. Yeah,

630
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: and we got the opportunity to to to create a

631
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: more balanced idea of what popular music is today. I'm

632
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 2: not going out on a limb. The most famous people

633
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 2: know what statistically supported. It's like, I'm not like I

634
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: didn't pick like the indie artists that I really like

635
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 2: from Portland the number one stream artists in the world.

636
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 3: It's crazy that I think last year was still like

637
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: the first solo rap ack, which is crazy to say

638
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: that last.

639
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 2: Year was that was it a hard one to get

640
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 2: across the board, not without conversations that was like dated. Yeah,

641
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like you said the Status Show,

642
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: Kendrick broke the audience record. It's not a rocket science.

643
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: It's like, this is the music of our time and

644
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: it should be represented on the biggest stage because these

645
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: are some of them. I'm not saying they're the only

646
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: artists right. Obviously other artists are be offended, but I

647
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 2: think that was the right choice.

648
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 3: As a rapper first and foremost, and being one of

649
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: the pillars of very rare. I would have to imagine

650
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: that you had a special kick out of watching that

651
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: show though, in particular, Yeah, for sure.

652
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I thought it was brave. I thought that

653
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 2: he did was brave and it speaks to who he

654
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: is as a as a performer. He could have made

655
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 2: it a little easy on thisself, just esthetically and with no, no, No.

656
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: Esthetically was beautiful was for Awless, the artistic choice to

657
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: play the new album the new album was a choice

658
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: and brave in front of that big of an audience,

659
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 2: because even if ten million people know some of these songs,

660
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: it's one hundred and twenty million people. That's like, what

661
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: is he doing? And as an artist to stand up

662
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: there and do it and complete your vision was like

663
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: I had to. I had to tip my hat to

664
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: like I have a high respect for him already, but

665
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: like even more my respect was like he really, he's

666
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: really about what he say he's about.

667
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

668
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to ask you this only as a participant,

669
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: and you don't have to, you know, I have to

670
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 3: get a disclaimer for her. I'm just saying, as someone

671
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 3: who was part of probably the genre's biggest rabbief go

672
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: until now, as a spectator, what did you think of

673
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four back and forth between him and Drake?

674
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a nancer. You're not gonna like Okay, Well,

675
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're gonna like us. That's presumptuous.

676
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: I think that Look, there was four pillars of hip hop.

677
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: There are four pillars of hip hop right break dancing,

678
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: and it's graffiti, live DJing and battling. Yep, break dancers,

679
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: not at the forefront end rap anymore. It was actually

680
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: an Olympics sport. That's dead. Graffiti beautiful you know in

681
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: certain places, even in like you know, major art and

682
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 2: like Keith hern and Bosquiot. Actually the street artist took

683
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 2: it to the next level. It's not part of hip

684
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 2: hop DJing. The DJ was in the forefront. It was

685
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 2: Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Eric B and Rock Kim.

686
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: You don't even know the DJ for a calf of

687
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: the artists anymore. Who's Drake DJ? I have no idea, Okay,

688
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you that no longer exists and the

689
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: last pillar is battling. We love the excitement and I

690
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 2: love the the sparring and the music you get. But

691
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: in this day and age, it's so much negative stuff

692
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: that comes with it. They almost wish it didn't happen. Really, yeah,

693
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: because it's almost like it's a final thing. Now. People

694
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: that like Kendrick hate trade no matter what he makes,

695
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: no matter what he says, and it goes far too

696
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: it's like attack on his character and his thing. And

697
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: and it's like, I don't know if I love that.

698
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's helpful to our growth with

699
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 2: the fallout lands, especially on like you know, on social media,

700
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 2: which takes place every day, and now you have these

701
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: pods of cult the standing Armies. Yeah, and it's like

702
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 2: it's too far. It's like bringing people kids in it.

703
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 2: And it's like I don't like that, you know, And

704
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: maybe I've grown in a space that is probably you know,

705
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: I sound like the old God Wagon and things, but

706
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: I think we can achieve the same thing as far

707
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 2: as like sparring with music, with collaborations more so than

708
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 2: breaking the whole thing apart. It could stand it before

709
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: because there was no social media and it was no thing,

710
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: and you know, you had to it was fun and

711
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: then you moved on. Right now, I don't know if

712
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: it could stand it with the technology that we have,

713
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 2: because it takes up so much occident, it takes up

714
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: so much oxygen. And now it's just like every day

715
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 2: they're just trying to still talking about it. It's not

716
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: just talking about it, not like yo, this song, I

717
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: like this. It was like trying to tear down the

718
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: people life. It's like trying to, you know, let this

719
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 2: guy's marriage or this guy's relationship with his child, and

720
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 2: it's like, I don't know, man, I don't know if

721
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's worship at this at this point,

722
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's interesting. Again, I love the idea

723
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 2: that we got so much music and such just a

724
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 2: short period of time, great music, just everything around. It

725
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: was just like, man, it's like taking us a couple

726
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: of steps back and we've just grown so much that

727
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if I guess I'm wouna say it.

728
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: I don't know if battling needs to be part of

729
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: the culture anymore interesting. I hate that I have this

730
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: point of view. I do because I know what it

731
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: sounds like, I know what it feels like. I hate it.

732
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: It's just how I.

733
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 3: Feel, even kind of extended to you, right because people

734
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: made it a personal thing that you chose Kendrick for

735
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. It's like, oh, man, he's choosing the

736
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 3: side and he's putting and he's not like.

737
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 2: I don't what do I have to do with that.

738
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: I chose the guy that was having a monster year.

739
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 2: I think it was the right choice, or it wasn't.

740
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: In some sort of alliance to a battle. What I

741
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: care about them? To guys battling like like got to

742
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 2: do with me? Or have ad it? Have fun? It's

743
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: almost like not on just me, by the way they

744
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 2: drag everybody in it, like everyone's part of this conspiracy

745
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: to undermine Drake. I guess, but like what the fuck?

746
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 2: Like what I fucking jay z or due respect to him,

747
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: fucking ole dude respectfully or like for what to what end?

748
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: It couldn't be Like these guys just don't like each other,

749
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: and I think they haven't liked each other for a

750
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 2: long time before you had anything to do with it. Wow,

751
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: I think this has been brewing, just like me and

752
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 2: NAS was brewing. It didn't happen at the summer Jam.

753
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 2: That happened that Lex and TV sets the minimum, whatever

754
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: it was, it was a whole bunch of stuff leading

755
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 2: up to that point. Slugs in your hat or was

756
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: selecting your hand. It was a bunch of like little

757
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: things that led up to that point, and then when

758
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: it happened, happened. I actually regret that because I really

759
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 2: like not it's a really nice guy. But also to your.

760
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: Point, like I remember I was like ten or eleven.

761
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 3: When that happened, I was, well, I was on your

762
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 3: side clearly, but my position was I can't go.

763
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: So a lot to unpack there, just to do some

764
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: content setting. Jay Z basically just say yo yo, I

765
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: think battling. This is already a very important distinction because

766
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: he didn't say battle rapping quote unquote, but of course

767
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: it could be took that way again. This is why

768
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: when Jay comes out, you have to be extremely clear,

769
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: you have to be extremely informative, you have to be like,

770
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: it's so much riding on it. I guess that's what

771
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying as well, like we got to hear from

772
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: these guys more. And I know it costs a lot.

773
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: I know, coming out and speaking it's like, damn, what

774
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: kind of request is that? But it's like this, for

775
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: the race. Trust what I'm saying. I'm off the highest level.

776
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: I come through the ghetto, no scratches, no blemishes, no

777
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: mustard on my jacket, off the highest level. I'm ordained.

778
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: I've been placed here, right. So I'm saying this you

779
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: you people have to hear what I'm saying, put it

780
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: in the interviews, and trust me. Hundreds of years trust me.

781
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: So we got to hear from these guys more. I understand.

782
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: I understand the trade off. I understand it because then

783
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: its climate and the way that culture works and how

784
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: and how culture matures. The behaviors of yesterday can become

785
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: penalized in the future. That's also why is rewarding the

786
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: state quiet, because what I exposed about my process now

787
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: maybe can come and hurt me in the future. I

788
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: get all of that. I think the race overrides that. Now,

789
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: let's address the fact that Jay said battling is detrimental

790
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 1: to the coach at this point. Number one, I think

791
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: if we're gonna act like jay Z is a part

792
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: of the conspiracy with Drake, you're gonna have to show

793
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: me some signs again of the human behavior. I'm an expert.

794
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: I'm an expert, And so when you hear someone even

795
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 1: some of this is Drake. Some of this is Drake pity.

796
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: And I hate to put it like that, but some

797
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: of him talking this battle shit shouldn't be it's Drake pity.

798
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: I hate to put it like that because I fuck

799
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: with Drake, but some of that is that. And so

800
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: for y'all to tell me he got a black heart

801
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: for Drake, I don't think he has those kind of

802
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: sentiments because battle rap ain't really hurting now, nigga, but Drake,

803
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: and so this is a window into his soul, you

804
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: understand me. Two, I disagree with putting a dish record

805
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: calling Drake a PDF on the main stage as it

806
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: pertains to the super Bowl. Up until this point, I

807
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: still believe it's unfounded claims. That's number one and number two,

808
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: if you call yourself as jay Z, then remember Phils,

809
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: I never really heard you use that. That's another thing again,

810
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: I can spend an high on this. This is the

811
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: highest level. I ain't really never heard Jake pull that

812
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: card out. He ain't never really had to pull that.

813
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm jay Z called out. Got to pull that motherfucker

814
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: out on the Drake toppy. He never had to pull

815
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: that motherfucker out. Drake better take heed to that. Yeah, Now,

816
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: look at what a nigga using when they dealing with

817
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: your name. Now, the words, the body language. Look at

818
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: how you understand. But he's an expert, and so also,

819
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be confused at me saying

820
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: that I don't think Not like Us should be played

821
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,959
Speaker 1: or some of those records should be played I don't

822
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: need that to be confused with me saying that Kendrick

823
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: Lamar is not deserving for the opportunity. Those are two

824
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: different conversations. The conversation I'm having is jay Z him

825
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: being jay Z, which again I've never heard him pull

826
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: that card out. He pulled it out as it pertains

827
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: to Drake. But you being jay Z, if you call

828
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: yourself want to empower, break dance and battling out, you

829
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: can go in power smack you arel. I ain't saw

830
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: jay Z do nothing for smack them. I ain't saw

831
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: none of you niggas a fuck with battle rap in

832
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: no kind of way. And there's a way to enhance

833
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: battle rap, as jay Z matter of fact, just you

834
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: saying that may do something for a company, even though

835
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: that jay Z is worried about battling disappearing or it

836
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: may hurt it. I'm not sure it may have some

837
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: sort of reaction. Again, when these kind of individuals talk,

838
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: when the pillars of our culture speak, it moves the needle.

839
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: And so what I'm saying is is that the battle

840
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: rap aspect of it, you could address that in a

841
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 1: different way. If you believe that battling is becoming extinct

842
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: and maybe it is a lost art or it is

843
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: something that mainstream doesn't know about. You as jay Z

844
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: have different avenues to amplify that. And I'm not sure

845
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: that you sacrifice one of ours. You don't sacrifice one

846
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: of your own to push battling up a little bit,

847
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: sacrifice one of our biggest artists, right, And that's what

848
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying as a big homie calling. And this is

849
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: why people start to think, well, maybe it's vindictive, like

850
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: tell me okay, so now down to okay. Yeah, he's

851
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: the biggest streaming artist. Great, so he gets the opportunity.

852
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: I think the conversation is why is he speaking about

853
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: pdf fiul about another rap artist. We all come from

854
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 1: the rap community, y'all split it down with the street shit.

855
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: Y'all know miss me with the street taught you niggas

856
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: ain't hit nobody, done nothing yet. I'm waiting. I'm still wondering.

857
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: We gonna get into this aight and ros state and

858
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: the money come up missing. You niggas ain't moving y'all,

859
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: miss me because I'm sick of I get it though.

860
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: You niggas on probation, parole and all kinds of shit,

861
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: it's scared right there. Somebody got the go though at

862
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: some point because the squabs is pushing the line back

863
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: to this though, I disagree with the idea of you

864
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: putting it on the main stage so all people can

865
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: see it again, especially in particular that facet of it

866
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: as it pertains to unfounded claims calling somebody a PDF file.

867
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: I just think that that's a reach if you're asking

868
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: me respectfully, because again, never did nothing for smack ur l.

869
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: You're never empowered better rep at all, And so I

870
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: think the larger conversation is YO again again, My standpoint

871
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: is you don't do that. My standpoint is, okay, even

872
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: if Kendrick does get the Super Bowl in that moment,

873
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he can subtly do certain little things. And

874
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: maybe they call that subtle, I don't know, but for me,

875
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: it's like, yo, let's not do that. Let's not sacrifice

876
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: one of our own. I guess the bigger conversation is

877
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: maybe jay Z doesn't view Drake as one of our own.

878
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: Maybe when jay Z looks at Coach he says, yeah,

879
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: that's not one ours, because I doubt he would have

880
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: let him do that to anybody else. Now that's a conversation.

881
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: Right if that was another artist and not Drake, do

882
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: you let him do that? Unfounded claims one of our

883
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: biggest artists gonna hurt our market share when the super Bowl?

884
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: Isn't that a hurt rep as a whole? The super Bowl?

885
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: Is there the opportunity to perform on the super Bowl

886
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: for hip hop act is supposed to elevate the market,

887
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: supposed to take rap mainstream, not sacrifice one of ours.

888
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. For me, I think that's

889
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: a conversation to be had. Jay also talking about the

890
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: presence of other faces of the business diminishing, and you know,

891
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I just think that he's too influential.

892
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: He's the person you already got it. Whatever you want

893
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: to see popping, you can get popping. And that's four

894
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: or five people down the line in your crew. You

895
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: can just say, hey, make sure y'all do something for

896
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: battle Rap, like make sure battle Rap or Battling doesn't disappear, Like, hey, yo,

897
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: make sure those podcast guys, those three or four do like,

898
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: make sure somebody make sure that they Nobody in these

899
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: games is looking out for nobody. I'm telling y'all like

900
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: it it's spooky out here. If you're a young nigga

901
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: trying to get in, it's spooky out here. Head up,

902
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: chest out, let's look at a little more of it.

903
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 2: However, the system is set up to keep things at

904
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 2: status quo last few years, like the more I reveal me,

905
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: the more they will kill me. Stuff like that. When

906
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 2: you say, they like who is that? Whatever? The threat to. However,

907
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 2: the system is set up to keep things at status

908
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: quo and keep us in a position of using words

909
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 2: like a lot. So anyone that's culpable in creating the

910
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 2: system that we operate under that stay. Yeah, that's day.

911
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: And it actually goes beyond color because I've been counted

912
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 2: that a lot, but counted that a lot where it

913
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 2: was just like, okay, this is tessful black man. They

914
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: get let me go to him and for help, and

915
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 2: they're like you don't fuck with no rabbit shits. Oh wow,

916
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 2: not like out like that. But yeah, you know it's

917
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 2: the energy, like the energy. It's like you you see

918
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: the energy.

919
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's also important. And again that's what I'm saying.

920
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: These people don't say anything. It's all energy. It's like

921
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm telling y'all is weird. It's all energy.

922
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: They don't say nothing, and that's how a lot of

923
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: these niggas end up in these sexual assault cases because

924
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: ain't nobody in this game talking. They just is doing

925
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: some weird energy shit. Oh the energy is right, All

926
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: the energy is not right. Move while you're messing up

927
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: the energy. That way, they can always ruin it without

928
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: an explanation. Energy is the explanation. But yeah, now you

929
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: see how he picking it up. So one of the

930
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: things they teach you how to do in this game

931
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: is pick up on shit. As soon as you get in,

932
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: they teach you how to play dodgeball with your people

933
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: and teach you how to pick up on Oh, they

934
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: ain't really fucking with it, but you do not let

935
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: anger poise in you. They'll try to shift, blame whatever.

936
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: Don't let the angle poise in you. But I just

937
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: thought that was important. Pay attention. I'm gonna stop stopping it.

938
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: I know y'all want to see it in full, so

939
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna now watch another part of the jay Z

940
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: interview with GQ and Fraser, which did an amazing job.

941
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: Pay attention.

942
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 3: I was thinking about how you described last year as

943
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 3: being angry and for the first time in a while. Yeah,

944
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 3: I wondered what it felt like to be pulled back

945
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 3: into that feeling and how you pulled yourself out or

946
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 3: how you leaned on the people around you.

947
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've been saying to put y'all needed to people

948
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: around me more than ever, because usually when I have

949
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 2: that feeling, I would just make music and therapeutic. I'll

950
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 2: be able to I'll blow it out, yeah, and that

951
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 2: would be like, you know, I'll move on. I had

952
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 2: to sit in that for a long time, and luckily

953
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: I had that and right again, I've built this, uh,

954
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 2: this circle that's really safe for me of people that

955
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 2: really love me, not using me, and like you know,

956
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 2: really care for my best interests. So I was able

957
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 2: to have that in the time, you know, the most

958
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 2: crucial time for me, especially people that were close to me.

959
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 2: And I'll explain so, like you know, when those type

960
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 2: of things happen, people run, they don't care what happened,

961
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 2: they don't care. It's like save yourself, you know. So

962
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 2: I have partners, you know, I've got big deals with

963
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 2: I called my guy from LVM, hey man, this is

964
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 2: coming and I can't get rid of it. I can't

965
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 2: take a settlement. It ain't in my DNA. First the

966
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 2: first of all. For first I can tell my wife

967
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 2: that's just back up like it ain't even in me.

968
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 2: I can't. I couldn't do. I know what this is

969
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 2: gonna be, the way that this is going to bring

970
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 2: on our family, I can't do it. The makeup my

971
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: my I would I would die. It would have been cheaper,

972
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: of yes, cheaper, quicker, move on with your life. It

973
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 2: was like a testament because people know me like I

974
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 2: know who you are, and that's impossible, and not only

975
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 2: not only are we standing by you, but what do

976
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 2: you need? Yeah?

991
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: the higher ups, you understand me. I feel as though

1001
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: it wasn't in his DNA to take a settlement. I

1002
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: think that speaks to his character, his integrity, how far

1003
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: he's willing to go. And I also think that it's

1004
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: virtue signaling. I also think that it's putting people on

1005
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: notice that, Yo, the way you took Diddy down gonna

1006
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: be a little different than taking me down. There's also

1007
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: another conversation to be had here as it pertains to

1008
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: jay Z going through that cause it's like, Yo, you

1009
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: gotta now have this conversation with Beyonce, who ain't done nothing,

1010
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: your family and your kids, who ain't done nothing. You

1011
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: ain't really done nothing. But I take the hit. I'm

1012
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: a man. But they built something too. Surely been building

1013
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: something for twenty years too. I'm talking about squeaky clean shit.

1014
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Short is the biggest on this side.

1015
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm the biggest on that side. But she's hulled without me.

1016
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: But us together is another be right. But I never

1017
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: thought that they'll come along and try to spit in

1018
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: my food. You gotta always remember, my nigga, no matter

1019
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: how far you go. That's why I'm trying to tell you,

1020
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: gotta build this shit up. No matter how far you go,

1021
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: they'll try to figure a way to get it done.

1022
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: They can't stop the plate. You can't stop me from

1023
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: putting something on my table. The next best thing they

1024
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: can do is pause in the plate. I've dealt with

1025
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: it all my life. I'm gonna get me some money

1026
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: without you niggas, you ain't gonna be able to pause

1027
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: in my plate, And if I catch you trying to

1028
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: pouse in my plate, I'm gonna deal with you like

1029
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: you you understand me. But coming out the rap community

1030
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: in the nineties, it was a group of us. We

1031
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: made it, we navigated through, but now we on everybody

1032
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: target list. Now, baby, had you not been with me,

1033
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: you will never be going through this. But now it's

1034
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of us. If you made it through the

1035
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: nineties and you got to this level, you got a

1036
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: target on your back. You better be squeaky clean, or

1037
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: you better uncoveraged. You better than figure something out because

1038
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: it's going down. I just so happened to be married

1039
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: with a Beyonce an icon, and now I gotta tell

1040
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: her it's some long nights because they saw what happened

1041
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: to did it? Beyonce know that things have been uncovered

1042
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: that she may not know about Jay, And of course

1043
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm not alluding to it being anything like that. But

1044
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: there's things that happened in the nineties. There's things the

1045
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: rap game and rap videos and and all this shit

1046
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: used to call for that was unacceptable, but people would

1047
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,879
Speaker 1: do anything not to disrupt the money. Black people had

1048
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: never seen money like this without a ball in their

1049
00:55:55,360 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: hand without putting the number on their back, that black

1050
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: people had never seen money like this. Whatever, need to

1051
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: have it. Don't disrupt the money. Sometimes they're playing to

1052
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: a nigga horny. Sometimes they're appeased. A nigga that's sitting

1053
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: here and he want to be freaked all goddamn day. Whatever,

1054
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: don't disrupt the money. He won't coke, Get him coke.

1055
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: He want women, get him women. Whatever. Don't disrupt the money.

1056
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: And we ain't never saw money coming in like this.

1057
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: Don't make it acceptable. I'm telling you the environment and

1058
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 1: atmosphere in the nineties and now they holding people accountable

1059
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: to Now. Jay Z made it through, made a lot

1060
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: of money. He got to have that conversation with Beyonce.

1061
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: I know that's a heavy conversation. I know that's a

1062
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: heavy conversation. The only thing I will say, and of

1063
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: course I'm gonna have the conversation, because of course I

1064
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: have these conversations. Hopefully at the level that people are

1065
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: understanding that it's information based and trying to pour something

1066
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: into the culture. The only thing I will say is

1067
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: the way that jay Z ideaify how important it was

1068
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: for people not to give up on him. And while

1069
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: I do understand why he distance itself from Diddy, I

1070
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: do understand and see why some people have that conversation

1071
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: under their breath, like whatever happened to Jay and Diddy?

1072
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: And these are two different gentlemen. I want to be

1073
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: clean put that on the record, But for the sake

1074
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 1: of the conversation, I do won't examine if me, if

1075
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm Diddy, because that's what makes my podcast the greatest

1076
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: podcast on earth, is that I don't speak like these

1077
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: I speak from the vantage point of inno scenario and

1078
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: getting out of it some kind of way or dealing

1079
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: with it head up, chess stot, That's how I view it.

1080
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: And so if I'm Diddy and I look at j

1081
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: and as I'm going through that, he's a powerful man

1082
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: and he comes out in public a distance itself from me,

1083
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: how do I feel now? On one side, I say, Yo,

1084
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: he should have done that, he should have distanced itself.

1085
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: It's hot right now, he's even in the street. You

1086
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: get a little warm, and you come to a nigga

1087
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: trap house. You the police. You ain't brought the police,

1088
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: but you the police. You know, you warm while you

1089
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: over here, you get arrested. Don't come around til you

1090
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: figure out cool off. A lot of you boys get arrested.

1091
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: Pop right back up. And so these is this is

1092
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: questionable behavior. And so if I'm Diddy and I'm looking

1093
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: at Jay and I say, damn, he dis is itself. Nah, nigga,

1094
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: he posed to That's on one end. On the other end,

1095
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: coming from New York, you gotta remember Tupac was in

1096
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: a scenario where he was, like I mean, he was

1097
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: a force to be reckoned with the business. Was in

1098
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: a very interesting scenario when Park was alive because all

1099
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: of the big dogs up north they felt this, They

1100
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: felt him like he was really he was shooting at

1101
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: all of them. Far as like he were punching at him.

1102
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: He was hitting at him. That's why me and jay

1103
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: Z need to have it. I'm talking. I want to

1104
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: talk about Park. Let's get into some of that Park shit,

1105
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: not even the no fucking up his legacy, But I

1106
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: really want to know like the vibes, you know what

1107
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like how you felt cause he was trying

1108
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: to cut you down on your way in. I know,

1109
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: you leaving the streets trying to figure it out. You

1110
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: got POC cutting at you, you understand, but you deal

1111
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: with the early nineties and you and if I'm didding

1112
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at Jay and I'm saying, you know

1113
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: what one of the things did he found out? And

1114
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: I think Quincy, of one of those gentlemen, was so

1115
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: kind and lett him be a mentee. And he figured

1116
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: out to remake records and take records that I already

1117
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: had fan bases and speed them up. And because see

1118
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: they could not deal with parc rap for rap a

1119
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: nigga better come with some Ronald Eisley type shit or

1120
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: something like that. Fucking with Park back then, he was

1121
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: smashing shit. If you don't come with those records with

1122
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: these fingerprint on him, like if Biggie didn't have did he,

1123
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: then I think we look at it a different situation.

1124
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: And I say that respectfully bigger in his legacy because

1125
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: he was a phenomenal artist. But when we talk about

1126
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: the ability to compete with Tupac Shi Cool with just raps,

1127
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: it would have been a problem. You needed to go

1128
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: and get some older records. And again did he had

1129
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: learned this from the Mary Jays and doing some of

1130
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,439
Speaker 1: those R and B shit, So he brought that over

1131
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: to bigger, and that helped make him palatable to compete

1132
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: with Pok because if he would have stayed rugged, he

1133
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance. The thug life thing was like,

1134
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: come on, Biggie didn't have nothing like thug life at all.

1135
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: He couldn't even articulate hisself in a way like some

1136
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: of us who yeah, respectfully though, because Biggie again legendary status.

1137
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: I got a lot of love and respect for what

1138
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: he'd done in the game. But did he had figured

1139
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 1: something out? Then he figured out how to make hip

1140
01:00:55,440 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: hop more palatable. And if I'm Diddy going through what

1141
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,439
Speaker 1: I'm going through, and I heard jay Z dis is itself, listen,

1142
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: I understand it because I've heard Diddy distance hisself from niggas.

1143
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: And again, this is what I mean about carma. This

1144
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: game ain't bigger than the handbook. I keep telling y'all.

1145
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: You could be successful in this game, but you're not

1146
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: bigger than the handbook. If you got sour any wing

1147
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: in your heart, be careful God to come at any moment,

1148
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: figure it out, fix it, and be careful who you

1149
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: do wrong. This is a word to the wise, and

1150
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: you know what thing about a word to the wise,

1151
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: A word to the wise. For a smart man is

1152
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: a blessing before a fool, it's an insult. And so

1153
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Diddy figuring out all of this with music. Jay Z

1154
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. He does not have it

1155
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: figured out, but he's a great rapper. Again, it's about packaging.

1156
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I keep telling y'all, even when I speak to my team,

1157
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: it's like, yo, watch you, I'm watch you speaking. I

1158
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: understand that everything is packaging because I see moves being

1159
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: made in the market that should not be made because

1160
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: it's packaging. And they'll say it's gatekeepers. No, it's packaging

1161
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: because if it's packaged right, and make it past the gate.

1162
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: If it's packaged right and make it past the gate,

1163
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: you think they checked the Bentley package. You think they

1164
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: checked the rolls was package. If it's packaged right to

1165
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: make it past the gate. But here's the thing. Jay

1166
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Z was trying to figure out how to get this

1167
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: thing more palatable. He gets under ditty and he figures

1168
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: it out. And I could be assuming, but I'm not.

1169
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: How do I know? Because jay Z goes from gangster rap,

1170
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: street rap, New York b boy type dude until he

1171
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: pops up in a shiny suit. Now, if I'm Diddy,

1172
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying that's my game. But jay Z smart enough

1173
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: to figure out, oh did it? Don't figure something out

1174
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: over there. That's how you do it. Ah. That's one

1175
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: thing about them niggas back then, they would take it

1176
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: from everybody. And that's you know what I'm saying. Part

1177
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: of the game is that jay Z pop out in

1178
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: the shiny shuit. If I'm Diddy and I look at him, now,

1179
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm mad at you because that game unlocked your next level.

1180
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: You got that level of game from me. I ain't

1181
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: saying come out and support me. Just don't say nothing.

1182
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: Just let it be. Just don't say nothing. And a

1183
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: lot of these niggas are do the front facing shit like.

1184
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: They'll come out and say shit like that and then

1185
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: pay for a nigga. Lord, you're send a nigga to me.

1186
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: You know. They trying to let you know yo. I

1187
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: had to do that on some business shit man, before

1188
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: we were getting hot. In the meetings, they start bringing

1189
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: up pictures and shit in their meetings. And if it's that,

1190
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 1: I gotta respect that. You understand what I'm saying. I

1191
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: ain't never gonna tell nobody to go down with the ship.

1192
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't even tell people to pick my bags up.

1193
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm a different spirit, you know, so when we look

1194
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: at it, it's that. But if I'm Diddy, I'm upset

1195
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: because I'm saying I unlocked your game and you got

1196
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: that game from me back then and not the suit game.

1197
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: See you stupid little balls to see a nigga in

1198
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: a suit and think, oh, she talking about what do

1199
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: you What do you get from Diddy a suit? Again? Man,

1200
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm only talking to our community. If you knew here,

1201
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: man and you haven't subscribed, you not on. I'm talking

1202
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: to us like we know what I'm mom. We ain't

1203
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: talking about no suit. We talking about infrastructure. We talking

1204
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: about approach, right, We're talking about unlocking the next level.

1205
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: There's things that's indicators that will be signs. And as

1206
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: much as I love this interview, that's why I had

1207
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: the critique earlier of Yo, I gotta start to be

1208
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: more vocal about why I'm requiring these people to talk,

1209
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: because what will happen is they'll disrespect my game because

1210
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: they don't know who I am, right, And so sometimes

1211
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: it's like, Yo, I gotta accept it because I shouldn't

1212
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: expect everybody to know me, but I expect everybody to

1213
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: respect game because I understand game run the world. It's

1214
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: bigger than everybody. And when I say game is knowledge

1215
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: and information rule the world, it's a universal language. I've

1216
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: been all the way, my nigga. I've been literally all

1217
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: the way verifiable too. Now something happened to me today,

1218
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: you'll figure it out tomorrow. It's already set up like that, verifiable.

1219
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: I've been all the way, all cross the world with

1220
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: this game. So I'm saying game is world wide respected.

1221
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: So I be expecting niggas to respect game. But what

1222
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,479
Speaker 1: will happen is we got two different mindsets. They think

1223
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm reaching out to shoot content. Nigga. I do a podcast,

1224
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: but I don't do no motherfucking content. When I sit down,

1225
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: we breaking buriers. Nigga. This is cultural infrastructure shifting. Nigga.

1226
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: Sain't no motherfucking content, And so that's what be offensive. Nigga.

1227
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: I ain't calling no niggas to come sit up and

1228
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: talk about no bull shit. We're trying to get the

1229
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: game to some people. My nigga navigation seeing around them,

1230
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: folks man, you post to see it on them, folks man.

1231
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: That's your legacy, because in one hundred years, how many

1232
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: times you put the ball in the hoop ain't gonna

1233
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: mean nothing. In a hundred years, how many times people

1234
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: played your song ain't gonna mean nothing. The reason Pocket

1235
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: is respected the way he's respected is because he put

1236
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: it down the way we put it down over here.

1237
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: Put it in the fucking interviews. If you got it,

1238
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: some of y'all ain't got it. But if you don't

1239
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: sustain at a high level for a long time, you

1240
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,439
Speaker 1: got the information that we need you to come out

1241
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: and no disrespect the phrase. I think he did a

1242
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: great job with the gqu interview. Jake knows who he is.

1243
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: He has to be a fan. I'm not familiar with

1244
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: that relationship. But I think I'm speaking for the community

1245
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: of people who understands what we need from Jay to

1246
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: help the entire race. And he has the right to

1247
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: do whatever you want to do. So this is not

1248
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: a call to action. This is an observation of what's

1249
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: going on. It's like, Yo, come speak to the hustler.

1250
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: It's like it's like if you were at war and

1251
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: you see your president on the golf court shooting content.

1252
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:10,439
Speaker 1: It's like, is that what y'all gonna talk like jay Yo,

1253
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: it's niggas. That's where you was at twenty years ago.

1254
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: They there right now, Nigga. They need some information on

1255
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: their next move, and somebody got to pull it out

1256
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: for him cause he just he's just like yo, whatever

1257
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: they need from me, Like what up? What we're doing?

1258
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? So you got the has

1259
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: it's a dance. We need some of their vibration. But

1260
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean that I feel like it's like being at

1261
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: war and you see the president at the golf course

1262
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: or something shooting content. You gotta remember the state of rap.

1263
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: This is jay. I ain't but five of them niggas

1264
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: think about the state of rap and all our big

1265
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: dogs ain't. Nobody said nothing. Sales are down, Labels are collapsing.

1266
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: Rappers are confused. Rappers are confused. The labels don't figure

1267
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: it out of way since the last time y'all niggas

1268
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: were talking contracts and value and dealing with all of

1269
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: this shit, these labels don't fit figured out another way

1270
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: to hide the value in the contracts that mismanage the

1271
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: funds and not tell you about Like come on, man, like,

1272
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: come on, man. The artists need this shit, and these

1273
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: are some of the only people with the info on

1274
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: their hands, and so I feel as though that we

1275
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: got to do a better job at pulling some of

1276
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 1: that shit out. We need more from some of our
