219
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I love females. I used

Speaker 2: to write girls letters and shit, Like I played sports

221
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,199

Speaker 2: like good with my words and shit. So yeah, yeah, definitely.

224
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,040

00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: my confidence, like wild writing right because like I had

232
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,120

235
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And I think like just

236
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: knowing what women like and talking to a lot of girls,

237
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: like even not even just trying to date them, just

238
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 2: talking to them on a friend level, just figuring out

239
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: what girls really like, right like that definitely is an

240
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: advantage that you know, I always had.

241
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,959

Speaker 4: Right even back then, you mentioned that you you played

249
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 4: sports with the homies, but you were not You didn't

255

Speaker 2: just i'ma go get over here and do something to music.

261
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: And also I started seeing like breaking their legs and

262
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: shit like that in school. I was like, man, trying

263
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: to be in crutches and ship like that. I'm gonna

264
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: go ride a rap.

265
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 4: You mentioned that your parents got divorced at a very

266
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: young age.

267
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: What type of impact whirs did that have on you?

268
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 2: I think it was probably better for me, really, yeah,

269
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: because my parents are really too strong personalities argued a lot. Huh,

270
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: they just you know, they're better, But yeah, they're just

271
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: way better apart. And like I was able to have

272
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: a really good relationship with both of them, Like I

273
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: have a great relationship with my dad and my mother,

274
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: and you know, they might have been in jail if

275
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 2: they stayed together. So yeah, I'm glad they broke up.

276
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 4: Having been a kid with devorce parents, what type of

277
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: advice would you give kids that if their parents, because sometimes,

278
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 4: like you said, it didn't impact you and you realize that,

279
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 4: you know what I think, y'all. I love both of

280
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: you guys, But you guys are much better apart than

281
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: you are together, right, But some kids.

282
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: Don't take it like that.

283
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 4: Some kids hold that against one parent or the other, right,

284
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes they blame the father, sometimes they blame

285
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 4: the mother, and they carry that with them. What type

286
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 4: of advice would you like to give kids that are

287
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: going through parents are divorcing.

288
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: Man, it's cloudy because you really don't get to see

289
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: the results until later. And a lot of the times

290
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: I would say, like you just got to give it

291
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: time because you never know, Like you might have a

292
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: father who can't really be the father that he could

293
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: be while he's in a relationship, and you might have

294
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: a stronger relationship with your parent while they're not together

295
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: rather than them being together. But you really don't know,

296
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: and you can't see it that way, and you don't

297
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: see it from their perspective of like what they are

298
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: and aren't able to do, you know what I'm saying

299
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: in a relationship versus out of a relationship. So as

300
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: long as you know, the love is still there and

301
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: everybody's like, I'm a very responsible parent. My parents are responsible,

302
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: but they they went through shit too, Like you know

303
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying they needed time to grow, so you know,

304
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: you got to give them that grace and kind of

305
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: you know, just rock with them.

306
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 4: Bro where you know, sometimes you see parents where one

307
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: parent try to turn the other the kid against the

308
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: other parents, right, and they will say and it's maybe

309
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: not like, oh it's your dad or it's your mom,

310
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: Well what did y'all do?

311
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: Are you hunger?

312
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 4: You know, they're saying thing to try to contaminate the

313
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 4: kid's mind to feel some type of way about the parents.

314
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 4: But I'm getting from you your parents didn't did didn't

315
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: do that to you.

316
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 2: I think naturally they had like a little bickering situations

317
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: and shit like that, but they tried their best to

318
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: stay away from that, right, Like they did their best

319
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 2: to stay away from it, but they really didn't with

320
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: each other. It was hard not to, you know what

321
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 2: I mean.

322
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: But now I remember vivid conversations and my dad being like, no,

323
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna talk bad about your mom, Like that's

324
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: what That's not what I'm gonna do, right, Like you're

325
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: gonna make certain decisions, you're gonna see things.

326
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: On your own, right, But I'm not gonna be the

330
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: and vice versa from my mom too.

331
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: You mentioned that your dad got your studio, So if

332
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,520

334
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: know what, I think, this is kind of what I

335
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: want to do.

336
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: I was like thirteen, and I was just like freestyling

337
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: with the homies and shit, but I really felt like

338
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: that was my thing. Yeah, yeah, I'm like, I think

339
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good at this and I want to like

340
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: just see where it takes me type shit. And my

341
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: dad was just like, yo, if you're serious about it,

342
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get you some equipment and you learn how

343
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: to use that shit.

344
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: Man.

345
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: That's what That's what it turned into.

346
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: How helpful that you had parents that believed in your

347
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: dream that they didn't, Hey, boy, you going to school, right,

348
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 4: you go go to college, you go get an education,

349
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: you go get a job, right, And they say, and

350
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: you were like, this is kind of what I want

351
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: to do. This is my passion, this is what I

352
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: really want to do. When I become an adult, and

353
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: they were like, Okay, this is what you want to do.

354
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get you some equipment'm gonna get you some

355
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: studio time. Let's see where it takes.

356
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it helped out a lot, man. I think it

357
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: was everything for me because it just allowed me to

358
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: create freely and I didn't have to go up against

359
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: anybody's word or anybody not believing in my dream. They

360
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: always believed in me from day one, just creating the music.

361
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: They were like, Okay, if you're making music, cool, like,

362
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: keep doing it. If you love it, We'll see where

363
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: it takes you. There's no guarantees, but I'm they always

364
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: were just with me, like always.

365
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 4: Like you know where sometimes parents try to live out

366
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: their dreams through their kids, right, They want their kids

367
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: to go to college or there's certain college because that's

368
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 4: kind of where they wanted to go.

369
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: It didn't happen.

370
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they wanted them to play a sport, they wanted

371
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: to become a doctor, they want them to become ex

372
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 4: Clearly your parents were in the military and that's not

373
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 4: but to have the forethought and says, well, this is

374
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: what this boy want to do, right, right, let's just

375
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: support him and see where it goes.

376
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

377
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, what type of feeling did that give?

378
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 4: Because a lot of time kids suppressed what they really

379
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: want to do trying to please their parents because they

380
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 4: don't want to let their parents down.

381
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: Right right, I think my parents would have rather me

382
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: do something a little bit safer. So there is the

383
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: you know, go to school, do this, be responsible, blah

384
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: blah blah. But in the end they were like, this

385
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: is what he loves. Like clearly this mothers going to

386
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: sleep doing this shit, waking up doing this shit. I

387
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: had quit all my sports, I wasn't hanging out with

388
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: my friends.

389
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I wasn't doing nothing. So you was really serious

390
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: about it, y, I.

391
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: Was just in the studio all the time. So what

392
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: like they couldn't tell me shit? Was like I was

393
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: gonna do it anyway. But they trusted me a lot.

394
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: Like even just working in different studios with people being

395
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: away from them a lot of times, Yeah, helped out

396
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: a lot. And then you know, going to shows, booking shows,

397
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: early days stuff like that. My mom was right there

398
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: with me, like, you know, driving me there in my

399
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: dressing room, making sure that you know, everything goes the

400
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: right way. So it was it was a lot, and

401
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: it could have went different ways. I don't know how

402
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 2: other people's support system is, but it helped me out tremendously.

403
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: What advice would you give parents that maybe are raising

404
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 4: a child that their ambitions are different than what the parents'

405
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 4: ambition is for the child.

406
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: I think that whatever you whatever, your child shows interest in,

407
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: the more you show interest in it with them, the

408
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: further they're gonna go. Okay. And I just think that

409
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: that just translates everywhere, whether it be sports or music

410
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: or dance or film, whatever it is, If you show

411
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: the same interest in it with them, even if you

412
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: don't know shit about it, right, it's going to help

413
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: them grow.

414
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: And you know, yeah, hell yeah, you signed a record

415
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: deal when you're in when you're in high school, did

416
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 4: your friends know, did the school knows that you were?

417
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 4: Like you were that into it? And did it change

418
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 4: once they find I found out that you were?

419
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, For me, everybody knew what I was doing.

420
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: I was always Cam, Like that's my real name, Cameron, Yeah,

00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: Cam gonna be a rapper? He think he gonna be

423
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: a rapper? Okay, everybody knew that I was in a

424
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: couple of magazines, like while I was in high school,

425
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: and I sold my CDs in high school, Like I

426
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: would walk around selling my CDs and shit, and there

427
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: are people who still have those, like the CDs. Yeah, yeah,

428
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: hell yeah. They just be taking pictures of it and

429
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 2: putting it on Instagram. I'm like, damn nigga, Like that's

430
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 2: some classic ship right there. So yeah, everybody knew I

431
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: was doing what I was doing. And now it didn't

432
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: really change much because where I'm from, like nobody has

433
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: seen nothing like that. So it wasn't like.

434
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't reture.

435
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't like I was like Hollywood, like

436
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: nobody was really checking for me. I was just like

437
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: doing my thing. So it was really humble beginnings for sure.

438
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: How did you get discovered?

439
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: I got discovered by being in the studio on Pittsburgh

440
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 2: just my talent recording e Dan, who's like my mentor,

441
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: and there's another there's a couple other guys around, Huggy

442
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: and Chad. They introduced me to Benji. Benji had been

443
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: in the industry at that point, but he's from Pittsburgh

444
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: and he took a chance he signed me to his

445
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: independent label and we basically just worked my records from

446
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: the time I was sixteen till about twenty three. And

447
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: in between that time, I had a record deal at

448
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers. And then that record deal went away, and

449
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: then I came back around the second time, and that's

450
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: when I'm more or less reinvented myself and kind of

451
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 2: found my personality, found my thing. And then that's what

452
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: you see now.

453
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: I read you were an artist in development for seven years.

454
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

455
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: Do you believe that's what's missing from today's artist?

456
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 2: Is it what's missing? No, it's not what's missing.

457
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think he's missing?

458
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: I don't think anything's missing.

459
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: I think they're just different.

460
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's doing what is good enough for them or

461
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: what is going to keep them in the game for whatever.

462
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: But those ten ten years of artists development is the

463
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: reason that I'm where I'm at in my career.

464
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: That's why you've had the longevity. Yeah yeah, hell yeah.

465
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 4: So what so what is what is a development? What

466

Speaker 2: I think there's enough space for all of us. I

589
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: think every one of those artists that we named has

590
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: their own fans and what they look like. You can

591

Speaker 2: identify each of those people will be like, you're a

592
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 2: so and so fan. So there's enough space for all

593
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: of us.

594
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 4: Eight billion people in the world. We give it up. Okay,

Speaker 4: better mood? That puts you in a better face? Love

627
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: Nah? I didn't always love it, Like when I wasn't

628
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: old enough to like understand or function off of it.

629
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: But when I got to the point where I could,

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it's yeah, it's normal.

637
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: Since you started smoking weed, have you ever gone to

638
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,280

645
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: have no point not to not to smoke. There's no

646
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: point in not smoking, right, I can go hours without

647
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: doing hours.

648
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,360

653
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:15,800

Speaker 4: He's received some criticism because obviously he you know, he

656
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: fired off one Kendrick k Dot came back fired off

657
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 4: colesins I'm out, and he caught a lot of criticisms saying, hey, bro, no,

658
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 4: you can't do that.

659
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: That man sent for you.

662
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 4: I got better things to do with my time.

663
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: I think that, uh ship, how do I really feel

664
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 2: about that? I think there's there's like two versions of it,

665
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: like in hip hop like according to the rules, yeah

666
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: hip hop like no, hell no, you ain't supposed to. Yeah,

667
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: but in real life you can like take some ship

668
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: back that you said, right, you know what I'm saying, Like, oh,

669
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: I said that. I probably shouldn't have said that. You

670
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. It takes a bit man to

671
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: be like I actually don't want no problems, right, you

672
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Right? So in real life with

673
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: it right, yeah, But in hip hop you're like, nah,

674
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: you got that message? Well all that other people do

675
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: the hip hop thing?

676
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 4: You have you ever gotten? Have you got? Ever gotten

677
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 4: into a battle? I don't say this with no beat.

678
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 4: Didn't they battle rap? Because this go back the first BAP.

679
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 4: The first battle rap I remember is ll and Kulmo

680
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: DP right right, And it's been coming up ever since.

681
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 4: And so but I don't think long as you long

682
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: as we keep it on wax, yeah we could. I

683
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 4: used to have the battle coming up, like just in

684
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: the city.

685
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, because it's really competitive, and

686
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: then you get dudes from one side and they're like,

687
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 2: oh this once, they gotta say some shit, and then

688
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 2: you retaliate, you say some ship back or whatever, or

689
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: like there was like an era where we were physically

690
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: like get in front of each other in the battle too.

691
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: So I've been in battles like that, and I had

692
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: a lot of diss me because I'm cool as ship,

693
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and they just want to

694
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: take cheap shots. But nothing past when I got in

695
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: the industry, because everybody for me, right, even if you

696
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: don't like what I stand for or whatever whatever, I'm

697
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: still the weed guy. I'm still cool, I'm still laid back,

698
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm still ladies man. So you don't look cool by

699
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: dissing me or coming at me, you know what I'm saying.

700
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: You can have whatever problem personally, but like nobody's ever

701
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: like really stuck their neck out and like said, yall,

702
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't know a whisker leifer because that sounds stupid.

703
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 4: But the biggest thing in a while, I don't know

704
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 4: if we've ever seen, because they dominated the headlines for

705
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 4: the summer. They were talking about it not just hip

706
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: hop and soul magazine and not just sold an urban

707
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 4: radio station. This thing had taken a person out of

708
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 4: its own right, and that's Kendrick and Drayton. And you're

709
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: the first guy that I've actually you're the first person

710
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 4: I've actually had that's in the industry. So when you

711
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 4: heard it, what went through your mind?

712
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: About Time? I'm tired of it's acting like they're cool

713
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: with each other and you know they're not. Yeah, man,

714
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 2: like that's cool to me, Like just speak how you

715
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 2: really feel? Bro Like, Like you know what I'm saying,

716
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: Like about Time?

717
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: You know, did Drake take it too far? He's suing

718
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: the man?

719
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: Nah? I mean that's I sound like a Drake moved

720
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: to me.

721
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 4: I mean, but to see the think what I'm confused

722
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 4: by is that so many people came for Drake, and

723
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 4: especially some of the guys that I thought Drake was

724
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 4: cool with because he had done music with him, he

725
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 4: had been on their album, been on here.

726
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: Well, he's a musician and a businessman in my eyes,

727
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: so it's like if he's not in the public eye winning,

728
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: you know, musically, he's going to get a win wherever

729
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: he can, right, I mean, it's a smart thing to

730
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: do in my opinion. Like, I think they're playing it

731
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: exactly how they're supposed to.

732
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 4: So you think this was orchestrated, You don't think this

733
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 4: is they got They got real.

734
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: Beef for now. I don't think them with each other

735
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: at all. Wow. I don't think none of them is

736
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: like each other.

737
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: They tolerate each other, but they don't get died with

738
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: each other.

739
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: It's just how the industry is, and like all of

740
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: that's coming to an end now and it's all like

741
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: kind of like spilling out and you're getting to see it.

742
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: But this is also like wrestling as well, so the

743
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: same people who are arguing can be like cool instantly.

744
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: So it's like, don't get too caught up on like

745
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, the the animosity part, but

746
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: they'll be not them, but in general, people will be

747
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: hugging later.

748
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 4: I think the thing was confusing for me is that

749
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 4: I didn't think it would become to a situation where

750
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 4: we bolb into a lawsuit. I thought we were talking

751
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: about stuff and I get look, I understand from Drake,

752
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: because bro, you call me a pedophile. Now you got

753
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 4: people looking at me sideways, you know, you might be

754
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: effing up my money with businesses, because nobody wants to

755
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 4: be associated with things like that.

756
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: But are you surprised that he took it to a lawsuit?

757
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: Am I? No?

758
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: Really, no, we ain't even I.

759
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: Can see if he stole his he stolen its beat

760
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 4: or his track or something, or he copied but sample

761
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 4: is sample one of his tracks, but not this.

762
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: No, I'm not.

763
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: Surprised, damn.

764
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 4: And here's the thing, because what you're telling me after

765
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 4: I'm listening to you out here correctly. It's kind of

766
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 4: like what Kat. When Kat came on and said what

767
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 4: he said, he opened what comedians already knew to be

768
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 4: true that a lot of us don't get along with

769
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 4: each other, but Kat brought it to the forefront. You're saying, yeah,

770
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 4: there are a lot of people that don't get along

771
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 4: with each other, and they've been faking they feel like

772
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 4: they buddy buddy. But what kay Dot and Drake did.

773
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 4: They're like, I want everybody to see we really don't

774
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 4: help with each other exactly. Yeah, they're gonna be cool too.

775
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 2: Get I can't speak on that personally because I don't

776
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. I'm just from a fan perspective,

777
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't know.

778
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 4: There's a lot of what happened. Okay, kay Dot had

779
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: the summer of summers. Yeah, he got named He's gonna

780
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 4: do the super Bowl in New Orleans.

781
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: Obviously litl Wayne's from New Orleans.

782
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got you know, cash money, you got no limit.

783
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 4: So you got Jewel, you got fire oh for, you

784
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 4: got master P, you got bird Man, you got all that.

785
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 4: And what was your take when you heard that k

786
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 4: Dot was gonna be headlining the super Bowl halftime show?

787
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: I thought it was dope. I didn't put two and

788
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: two together about the whole New Orleans thing until like

789
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 2: I actually heard Wayne comment on it, and like it

790
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: was crazy because Wayne really gonna comment on nothing, No

791
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: he doesn't. Yeah, so when he did, I was like, damn,

792
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: he really like took that personal, not in a bad way,

793
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: like that affected him. And I'm like, dang, like maybe

794
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: they should have like try to incorporate and Wayne or

795
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 2: something like that, you know what I mean. Just I

796
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: don't know. It just made me look at it a

797
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: little bit differently. But I can never take like somebody

798
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 2: else's moment from them either, you know what I mean.

799
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 2: It's just one of them situations where you just to me,

800
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: I just look at everything. I'm like, dang, that's crazy.

801
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think little Wayne is looking like damn, I didn't.

802
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: I mean, how much consideration you gave us, because when

803
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 4: I look at it, whereas I think what happened is

804
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 4: that the super Bowl when it was in l a

805
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 4: and you had Dre and you had Snoop. So now

806
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 4: everybody asson if the super Bowl come to your home

807
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 4: town and you got a hot group from there, that

808
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: makes sense. But when it was in Atlanta, they had

809
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 4: Maroon five. Maroon five ain't from Atlanta. You know what

810
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 4: we got down today? It wasn't none of them up there.

811
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 4: We ain't even get glad of night. I don't think

812
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 4: they could have had I yeah you got t I

813
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: luda jeez the future I mean baby faces.

814
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah no, not for real.

815
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 4: I mean Usher ended up get his come up last

816
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 4: year in Vegas. But so I think that's the thing.

817
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 4: I think the thing is is that and we know

818
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 4: what Wayne is. Wayne is Wayne, So it ain't no Ain.

819
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 4: There would be there will be no there will be

820
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 4: no Weavy, there will be no baby Baby, there'll be

821
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 4: no Slanders. Going on because we know what this man is.

822
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 4: But I think k Dot took it in some type

823
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 4: of way because he said, ain't nobody really congratulate me?

824
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 4: But nas And I think Wayne took it asther shots

825
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 4: that I looked let the sleeping dog lie, let the giants,

826
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 4: let state away years. Yeah, because I don't want no problems.

827
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 4: Don't nobody really want no problems?

828
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? Not with Weezy. Yeah that was crazy because

829
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, I'm always type of person where

830
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 2: it's like you should be able to speak your mind, Kate.

831
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 2: I feel like, ain't nobody step up? Right? You know?

832
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: He could say that right? And Wayne could say what

833
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: you know that he's pissed about, Like yeah, two things

834
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 2: can be true.

835
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 4: K Dot didn't get the love and support that he

836
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 4: thought he would get from the community and Weeds it

837
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: could feel that he was slighted because he's from New Orleans.

838
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 4: He's a main state and he should have been given

839
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 4: up getting an opportunity. Now that's not to say that

840
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 4: Kendrick won't invite him up and do something. That's not

841
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 4: to say that that won't happen. But I think Wayne

842
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 4: is probably thinking, like, bro, I'm big enough the headline

843
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 4: this thing.

844
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, he's definite thinking that, and he's thinking

845
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: that he knows the right people that them people didn't

846
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: look out for him, So he's not even looking at

847
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: Kendrick crazy. It's like, what's up with the people who

848
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 2: put this together? Right wiring y'all? You know looking out

849
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 2: for me? You know what I'm saying? Right? It could

850
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:15,080

00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 2: I think it was in Dallas, Green Bay and Pittsburgh. Dude,

881
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 2: that was in the nineties.

882
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: No, that was two thousand. I think that was two thousand,

883
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: elevel it was two thoy ten.

884
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 4: Season twenty eleven when the Packers ended up beating the

885
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 4: Steelers in the Super Bowl, and you have how you

886
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 4: oh you're talking about went for Black and Yellow? Yeah,

887
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 4: way recorded green and Yeah. I erased that from my memory.

888
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I was the nineties. I never happened.

889
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: I erased that.

890
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 4: If the Steelers get back to the Super Bowl, you

891
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 4: you you you you cool to do.

892
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: Another Black and Yellow, they could just used that one.

893
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: Just run that one back up. They don't want you

894
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: to update that thing with the new. That song whin

895
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 2: number one when they was scoring on them touchdown. I

896
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 2: think we went undefeated that season.

897
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all, No, no, I think like three or four games.

898
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, but y'all was like the last couple

899
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 4: of games we didn't lose for like ten games or

900
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 4: something like that, y'o.

901
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: And Black and Yellow went number one. We went to

902
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Hours. Yeah, but if we go again, nah,

903
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: because like the way that ship is today, like how

904
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 2: TikTok and all of that stuff is, they just bring

905
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: the old bring it back. Yeah yeah, yeah, bring that

906
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 2: old one back. What did that song do for Wiz?

907
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: Is that the song that puts you on the map? Yeah,

908
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: that song put me on the map. That song made

909
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: me a household name. That was my first number one one. Yeah,

910
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: So that one like proved that I could, like, you know,

911
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 2: perform on a mainstream level and sell singles because not

912
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 2: only you know how, I have mixtape success and had

913
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,959
Speaker 2: I you know, done really well for myself like independently

914
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: and on touring, but now I got a freaking number

915
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: one record. So it's like, oh, this dude is on

916
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: fire right now.

917
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 4: What made you make that? What made you do that song?

918
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 4: Because if I'm not mistaken, I think I heard you

919
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 4: say the song was about a car.

920
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: It's about a car, and it's about my jewelry, and

921
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: it was about being from Pittsburgh because like even you

922
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: see right here, yes, yes, black and yellow, so it's

923
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 2: like hometown pride. And that was my main thing. I

924
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 2: was like, if I'm going to get a single, I

925
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: could rap about whatever the hell I want to. I

926
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: was like, but I want my first single to be

927
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: about like where I'm from. I just thought it was

928
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 2: the right thing to do. It was like some hip

929
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,560

Speaker 2: city and told them that they should travel wes Khalifa

973
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 2: Day and they worked it out. So you know that's

974
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 2: that's really significant to me. And then it's really just

975
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: about like getting stoned and chilling at this point.

976
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, to have a city to back

977
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 4: you and give you your own day, man, that has

978
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 4: to I mean if a kid growing up in Pittsburgh,

979
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 4: did you think something like this was possible?

980
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 2: Nah? And even like now I don't be tripping on

981
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: wes Khalifa Day. I probably should make more of a

982
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: big deal about it. Yeah, I will eventually, but like now,

983
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: I just leave it up to people. But like you know,

984
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 2: as time goes on, I think I'll embrace it more

985
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,959
Speaker 2: and turn it into something that like the world sees.

986
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 2: So it's just still in this beginning stage.

987
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 4: So twelve twelve or you try to get twelve twelve

988
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 4: not just for Pittsburgh, but they're gonna be other states,

989
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,000

1002
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 4: So they ask you to do this song and you

1003
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 4: go into the Obviously you know Paul Walker has passed.

1004
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 4: You know this there's gonna be significance to this song.

1005
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 4: You do understand that, But to it was right when

1006
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 4: he passed, Yes, so he was like filming for the movie,

1007
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 4: and they were like, something happened. We need to do

1008
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 4: like a whole little redirection, and you're gonna be.

1009
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 2: A part of that.

1010
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 4: So they're like, this is the last scene of the movie.

1011
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 4: They're like, he's in the movie, but we're like generating

1012
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 4: his face on a couple scenes. Yes, and this is

1013
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 4: gonna be one of them where it's gonna be him

1014
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 4: like riding off into the sunset, but it's gonna represent

1015
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 4: his departure.

1016
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 2: From its God damn. So I'm like, you know what

1017
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: I mean. But they were like, they told me that

1018
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 2: they had so many other writers on the song too.

1019
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 2: They was like, I don't know, I can't even name

1020
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: all of them because I don't think it's legal. But

1021
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: there were so many other writers on the song and

1022
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 2: artists that they wanted to be on the song. But

1023
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: by the time the movie had come out, it was

1024
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: like a week before the movie had come out. They

1025
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 2: were like, we need to finish the song and we're

1026
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 2: gonna shoot the video and we just want you and

1027
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 2: Charlie poth On there. It was like everybody else we

1028
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: don't want, so you need to write another verse. So

1029
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: I just quickly like came in there. I watched the

1030
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 2: scene for the second because I already did the first

1031
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 2: verse just based off of like what they told me

1032
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 2: it was going to be like. And for the second verse,

1033
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 2: they were like, Okay, watch the scene and then you know,

1034
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 2: write it based off of that. So I watched the scene,

1035
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 2: I just wrote my verse real quick, recorded it. We

1036
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 2: shot the video the next week, and then it comes

1037
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: out with the movie and shit, and it's just supposed

1038
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: to be a soundtrack song. But like as soon as

1039
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: they got on the radio, I think, I don't know

1040
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 2: how long it took to go number one, but it

1041
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 2: went number one and stayed number one for like thirteen weeks.

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so yeah, I never knew that. I never

1048
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: knew it was going to do all of that at all.

1049
00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: So you're only so you I ever met Paul Walker?

1050
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 4: Nah, didn't, So your only time ever seeing Paul Walker

1051
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 4: was that video when they showing you clips of the

1052
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 4: movie and so they're asking you because you already you

1053
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 4: said you had already wrote one verse, and they ask

1054
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 4: you to come back to write another verse as they're

1055
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 4: showing you of him driving off.

1056
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,959
Speaker 2: In right good like yeah, just departing and like yeah,

1057
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: like you said, I hadn't met him before. And the

1058
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: way that I wrote the first verse was just based

1059
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 2: off of a conversation that we had where they were like,

1060
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: this is the vibe of it, and this is where

1061
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 2: we want you to go. So I had to like

1062
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 2: think about personal experiences as well as you know, what

1063
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 2: was going on at the time, just to make it

1064
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 2: all make sense, like you know what I'm saying, because

1065
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: I didn't want it to feel too like Forster or

1066
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: anything like that. Like I wanted it to be real.

1067
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 2: I wanted it to be And that's what surprised me too,

1068
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 2: because it was so damn real.

1069
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm like, this is real. These are like real

1070
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 4: ass bars, Like you know what I'm saying. Now they're

1071
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 4: telling you, did you feel pressure because they're explaining to you,

1072
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 4: this is a movie, this is an iconic movie with

1073
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 4: I think at the time, maybe it was like on

1074
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 4: the fifth or sixth, but well when he passed away,

1075
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 4: so you understand what's at stake here. You understand who

1076
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 4: Paul Walker is and his character and he's beloved. Yeah,

1077
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 4: and they come to you and you just look at

1078
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 4: the scene you had conversation with them, you had already

1079
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 4: wrote a verse, and you look at the scene of

1080
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 4: him driving that car off and you get the writing.

1081
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: How much pressure did you feel?

1082
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 2: I didn't feel any pressure at all, because I think everybody,

1083
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 2: you know, it's unfortunate that Paul Walker lost his life

1084
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 2: and his legacy is always going to live on. I

1085
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 2: met his family and stuff like that. But what did

1086
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 2: they think about the song? They love it. They love it.

1087
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 2: They from day one they loved it. But I think,

1088
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 2: like see you Again connects because you can tell, like

1089
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 2: everybody goes through those losses and you can feel that

1090
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: in those verses. And I've taken losses and you know

1091
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 2: I've felt you know what I mean personally, what that

1092
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: feels like. So to be able to channel that through

1093
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 2: the music, tell his story, help his legacy live on,

1094
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 2: and also connect with other people who go through similar things,

1095
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 2: you know, that was that was my main goal, and

1096
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: that's what I knew I could do just through my

1097
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: personal experiences, and I'm glad that the world, you know,

1098
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 2: gravitated towards it.

1099
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,280
Speaker 1: Like what did that song do for Wiz?

00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 2: and huge songs, so I made more money. That's what

1152
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 2: I did with my money.

1153
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I did see when you say in a

00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 2: Shit's ugly. It probably coolest hell on the inside. And

1160
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 2: that's too. Like I'm like not getting in the car

1161
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: because I don't want to be like, oh my god,

1170
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: What have you learned about money?

1171
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 4: Because you mentioned that, like you've always had money, and

1172
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 4: I see you. You know, you invested in this company

1173
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 4: and I think the company it's worked over a billion dollars.

1174
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: You invested in the what.

1175
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:13,879

00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 4: You're gonna be like a big jagger.

1182
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 2: And Clinton is eighty three years old. He's still on stage,

1183
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 2: smoking weed, directing his bad.

1184
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: What's the guy rolling stones? He's up there too?

1185
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 2: Oh now what's that boy name? Yeah?

00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but George Clinton look good.

1188
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1189
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: I like seeing George Clinton on stage.

1190
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 1: But how did you learn about money?

1191
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1192
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 4: And because there's been a lot of people make a

1193
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 4: lot of money. Yeah, it ain't how much you make,

1194
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 4: it's how much you keep. How did you learn did

1195
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 4: you see from others? A wise man learn from other's mistakes,

1196
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 4: and food have to learn from its own. Did you

1197
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 4: see some of the pitfalls that some of the people

1198
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 4: that were in your position had gone through and you're like,

1199
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna make those mistakes.

1200
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 2: I think it's a combination of like wanting good advice, okay,

1201
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 2: and having good advice, okay, because a lot of people

1202
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: don't want somebody to tell them what to do with

1203
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 2: their money or how to manage it and shit like that.

1204
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 2: I'll spend it whatever I want blah blah blah. But me,

1205
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 2: I might have some crazy ass dreams, but I'd be like, financially,

1206
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 2: does that make sense? You know what I'm saying. So

1207
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,479
Speaker 2: like a lot of you know a lot of people

1208
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 2: from our community, a lot of they don't give a

1209
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: fuck about that, Like they just want to buy it

1210
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 2: right away. And I had that point in my life,

1211
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: and luckily I made it out of that, you know

1212
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I was in my early twenties, and

1213
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 2: it was like, Yo, if I see it, I like it,

1214
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy it and it you know, it just

1215
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 2: takes growth and maturity, and some of us we reached

1216
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 2: that point earlier than others, right. But for me, I

1217
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 2: always seen my money as an opportunity to make me

1218
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 2: more money. Like even if I buy a chain and

1219
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 2: so I could look good, you know what I mean.

1220
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 2: Like cause if I'm like a bummy rapper, nobody's gonna

1221
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 2: want to book me. So like hopefully this however much

1222
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 2: I spent on my chain. I'll make it back. I'm

1223
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 2: gonna do some videos. I'mna look cool. That's gonna get

1224
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: me some views. Then that's gonna sell me some tickets,

1225
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 2: and then you know, eventually, it's just all gonna promote

1226
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 2: the brand, you know what I'm saying. Like I'm not

1227
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 2: doing it to like be in the club or to

1228
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 2: be the coolest guy ever. It's really it all goes

1229
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 2: back into something. And you know, you can buy studio equipment.

1230
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that you can buy that

1231
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 2: will make you money. Yeah, that'll make you money. So

1232
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 2: it's like on top of having fun buying cars and

1233
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 2: you know, houses and shit like that.

1234
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 4: And that's another thing. Y'all need to stop writting all

1235
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 4: them houses and shit like that. It's not cool to

1236

Speaker 1: You mentioned investing. How did you learn about investing.

00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 2: I learned about investing just through my business management. Really.

1252
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 2: I learned that my lifestyle could make me a lot

1253
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 2: of money if I just put the money in the

1254
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 2: right places. And there's a lot of opportunities that come up,

1255
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of things that people talk about

1256
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 2: on the low that you can get in on early

1257
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 2: before it even becomes something. If you have money, just

1258
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 2: take a little bit of that money and put it

1259
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 2: off into something that can make you a little bit more.

1260
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,720
