Speaker 3: Music is the hard part. We can talk about that
Speaker 3: interested that's the hardest part. Is harder than getting Yeah,
Speaker 3: musicians is the hardest part because they.
Speaker 4: They come with the most baggage. It's real. It's real,
Speaker 4: it's real. That's a fact. The most baggage nine times
Speaker 4: out of ten.
Speaker 3: You you can't go through them directly like a lot
Speaker 3: of people we could just go through directly like I
Speaker 3: need you here, all right.
Speaker 4: Them you gotta talk.
Speaker 3: To their manager, and then their manager's manager and then
Speaker 3: they it's like the writers, and they don't know their schedule.
Speaker 3: They might be on tour, they might not be on
Speaker 3: like just give me an answer. They put you in
Speaker 3: limbo for weeks at a time.
Speaker 4: They don't get right now.
Speaker 3: So the music, that's that's headaches, man. I mean some
Speaker 3: musicians like shout out to Ross, He's that's easy.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. That good dude.
Speaker 3: So it's not it's not every musician that is bad
Speaker 3: like that, but a lot of them, a lot of them, man.
Speaker 5: Unless so like Ross makes it easier because we've sat
Speaker 5: down on him before, we interviewed him at him find
Speaker 5: his event. We did it on as his liabilities, so
Speaker 5: there's a relate. He knows who we are, right. Same
Speaker 5: thing with Tip. We called Tip. It's gonna be an
Speaker 5: easier call because wait, just wait on it.
Speaker 6: Because I saw j Z's name, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 6: I was thinking of all my favorite songs, and I
Speaker 6: don't ever think I've seen him in concert, so this
Speaker 6: is really giving me a chance to like see people
Speaker 6: in That was my first time actually investments watching Rick
Speaker 6: Wall perform and he's right in front of me, I said.
Speaker 5: And was going to say, is the first time you
Speaker 5: got to see me performed? But that was all performance
Speaker 5: that was crazy above and beyond.
Speaker 3: I mean like kiss Kiss. He did a great performance
Speaker 3: for us at MSG Relationships. So it is beneficial to
Speaker 3: book artists that are familiar with us. That makes it easier,
Speaker 3: like we did Jim And at the Apollo. That's easy.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know these artists, man, they got a lot.
Speaker 3: They got a lot.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: If you know what's so crazy, you know it's so crazy.
Speaker 3: So we've booked several different billionaires, right and from Dan
Speaker 3: Cathy to Don pee Wos to Tyler Perry to Robert
Speaker 3: Smith to Ditty as well, like novagrats, you know what's
Speaker 3: so crazy, especially from the Well Diddy hasn't sent the
Speaker 3: rider yet either, but we've never received the rider from
Speaker 3: a billionaire.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: One Tyler Perry's rider was it was he won haircut
Speaker 3: and simple as a minimal.
Speaker 4: We never received any demands or crazy request from billionaires.
Speaker 7: Dan Cathy, I'm talking about owner Chick fil A. He's
Speaker 7: walking around but by himself. Want you into what a
Speaker 7: name tag on.
Speaker 3: But the craziness, what the crazy thing about it is
Speaker 3: this is I don't know where this rider thing came from.
Speaker 3: That's a musician, Maybe that's a that's a musician. But
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it's like some things we just don't question.
Speaker 3: Because I just thought about that today. I'm like, we
Speaker 3: booked a bunch of people in business, entrepreneurs, athletes, whatever.
Speaker 3: Why does why do musicians only have riders?
Speaker 5: I think it's I think the origin comes from it's
Speaker 5: from music, but it's what they would like to feel
Speaker 5: comfortable when they get to a venue, which is all
Speaker 5: I get it. But some of the things is like, yo,
Speaker 5: twenty dollars champion, I'm not sure if that's gonna make
Speaker 5: you feel comfortable if you're gonna be there for fifteen minutes,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So like some of the things,
Speaker 5: it's just like but.
Speaker 3: The problem is that they get caddled to and so
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of them don't they don't.
Speaker 4: They're not handling their own business.
Speaker 3: So it's like, because like, really, just let's have a
Speaker 3: two minute conversation about this, because I just thought about
Speaker 3: this today. Why why is a rider needed if nobody
Speaker 3: else has a rider? Right, what do you ever think
Speaker 3: about that nobody else has a rider?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Like if Don Peeble doesn't have a ride, you come
Speaker 3: to a venue, you're gonna be in the green room.
Speaker 3: You can expect that there's gonna be food there for you.
Speaker 3: There's gonna be water, there's gonna be juice, there's gonna beverage.
Speaker 3: If you have a special request that you might have,
Speaker 3: you might want, you know, a allowed male, then we
Speaker 3: can accommodate that.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: But I'm just curious to know why musicians are the
Speaker 3: only people that have riders. And the riders are alcohol
Speaker 3: at a tremendous amount of alcohol that.
Speaker 4: You can't consume. So it's like if you have ten
Speaker 4: bottles of.
Speaker 6: Champagne, it's ridiculous, Like, who normalize this?
Speaker 4: And I realized that it's from the nightclub.
Speaker 3: Most of them these comes from nightclubs, right when they
Speaker 3: just go to nightclub And it's like, but it's we
Speaker 3: got to really start to think about this, Why are
Speaker 3: we providing If we're paying you for a service, then
Speaker 3: you should just be paid for a service. You shouldn't
Speaker 3: be paid for a service and have fifteen dollars of
Speaker 3: tequila at five o'clock in the afternoon. If you want
Speaker 3: to buy tequila, then you buy tequila's check. I'm giving
Speaker 3: your organic flavored this, and then you want your money
Speaker 3: in cash. There's a variety of different things that make
Speaker 3: this a lot more difficult dealing with musicians, which I
Speaker 3: understand why, Like concert promots, they got a hard job
Speaker 3: because now you got to deal with one hundred Like
Speaker 3: you say, rolling Loud, they got to deal with one
Speaker 3: hundred artists.
Speaker 5: One hundred riders.
Speaker 4: Imagine that.
Speaker 5: And if you've got a hundred of them, now you
Speaker 5: got to worry about the punctuality of it. That's another thing, right,
Speaker 5: because the thing is like, now, yeah, I booked you
Speaker 5: and you're supposed to be but now I need you
Speaker 5: to be here on time.
Speaker 4: They never come on time.
Speaker 5: And if you're not on time, and some twelve thousand
Speaker 5: people got a way for you to be there for
Speaker 5: twenty thousands, you know.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So it's like it's just it's it's I'm concerned because
Speaker 3: it's like this has become normalized and it's just past
Speaker 3: it's normal.
Speaker 4: It's normal for a rappers.
Speaker 3: You gotta tell a rapper to come two hours early
Speaker 3: because you know he's gonna come at least an hour
Speaker 3: and a half late.
Speaker 4: But nobody ever questions that. Nobody else does that.
Speaker 8: I like the fact that you guys are like even
Speaker 8: right now, educating on it and really challenging the system,
Speaker 8: because I think as you're talking about it, I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 8: this is real.
Speaker 4: Maybe you had to put extra time on your thing.
Speaker 5: Nobody we kept running your time, but you had to
Speaker 5: put me in time. You thought you was stripping out,
Speaker 5: And I'm like, yo, Dave, we just I was like, y'all,
Speaker 5: I know I saw that clock. It's aid five minutes.
Speaker 5: Did it jump in fifteen? And then it got down
Speaker 5: to seven and we put it back to twelve, And
Speaker 5: you're like, that.
Speaker 4: Was what we want.
Speaker 3: Some times sho shout out the fab good dude. He's
Speaker 3: actually a great dude, but it is what it is.
Speaker 4: He's earnest. What's up.
Speaker 5: You ever walk into a small business and everything just works,

Speaker 4: Three hours late on five o'clock on a Sunday, So
Speaker 4: we're stalling.
Speaker 3: Literally, when he got there, we put the microphone, gave
Speaker 3: him the money, they counted it.
Speaker 2: He cats.
Speaker 3: He walked on stage and performed like cash Kid Cash,
Speaker 3: so we cash. We literally like we're going back and
Speaker 3: forth with like where you're at, where you're at, da
Speaker 3: da dada, Like they like five minutes away, pulling half
Speaker 3: an hour later, five minutes away, half an hour of
Speaker 3: five minutes away, yours on stage.
Speaker 5: They spent thirty minutes they said, we were on the grounds.
Speaker 5: I'll say, they said, building B. We're trying to find it,
Speaker 5: twenty five minutes.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, it's like put more time on.
Speaker 3: Put fifteen minutes on, keep it on, put another fifteen
Speaker 3: minutes on. We got to keep adding time.
Speaker 5: We gave you the ord after that Hey man, I
Speaker 5: got it.
Speaker 4: Hey listen.
Speaker 8: If it was paying all right before any artists, okay,
Speaker 8: I'll hand it working.
Speaker 4: For that, we would have been I don't know what
Speaker 4: we would have done that the DJ would have been playing,
Speaker 4: but there was.
Speaker 3: No other program that was the last thing of the day,
Speaker 3: so we would have just had to just fit thirty
Speaker 3: minutes of just nothing, a hour of nothing.
Speaker 5: We were then swag serving for thirty.
Speaker 4: You guys are really like, this is this death? Why
Speaker 4: you got to give artists that.
Speaker 3: Joe Fat Shoe really really impressed me when we interviewed
Speaker 3: him in Miami. He impressed me for a few different reasons.
Speaker 3: So we had him and we had master P right after.
Speaker 3: I think he was at the master People, So we
Speaker 3: did Fat Joe before we did master P. The interview,
Speaker 3: let's say, was at like two o'clock, right, so we
Speaker 3: we spaced it where it was like master P. We'll
Speaker 3: do master P at six because we know the interviews
Speaker 3: at two. He's not going to come till three, because
Speaker 3: we just think he's just a rapper. A he comes
Speaker 3: at one fifty five, and B he came by himself.
Speaker 3: That's another thing.
Speaker 4: These dudes be coming with thirty people, twenty five people,
Speaker 4: and you got it's crazy.
Speaker 3: Everybody's smoking and it's it's not even the place to
Speaker 3: smoke necessarily, Like you know what I'm saying, there's a
Speaker 3: time and place for everything.
Speaker 5: It was crazy, like the joke stoways crazy because they're calling.
Speaker 5: I'm calling on the phone like you always. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: looking for an entourage. They said, no, he's in that
Speaker 5: car right, he's about to get out. I look, it's
Speaker 5: just him. I'm like, we have to and that's impressive.
Speaker 4: Just him, and he had like three hundred thousand works
Speaker 4: for Jelly on.
Speaker 5: Well, I was gonna leave that part out, but he said, yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean that's the movie. It was just like it
Speaker 5: was just him. He came through the interview, he showed
Speaker 5: love and that was it. And again relationship. So if
Speaker 5: we ever had to call on Joe, it's like, all right,
Speaker 5: well he knows who we are.
Speaker 3: I've never seen that before whatever, I've never He's the
Speaker 3: only person I've ever seen a rapper that that came.
Speaker 3: He really came by himself. Kiss came on time to
Speaker 3: shout to kiss. Kiss came by himself. He came on time,
Speaker 3: but he didn't come by himself. He came by himself.
Speaker 3: That was impressive.
Speaker 8: I like that we're having this conversation because it's educational too,
Speaker 8: and our culture needs like shaping right these conversations.
Speaker 4: It's correction what I'm saying. It's not it's not meant
Speaker 4: to to.
Speaker 3: Bash anybody, but if we if we don't correct these
Speaker 3: these things, then we start to normalize dysfunction. And it's
Speaker 3: like I feel like we have a voice, we have
Speaker 3: a platform, and we have credibility and straight like we
Speaker 3: are hip hop. So it's like this, this is a
Speaker 3: family conversation. So it's like we have to correct these
Speaker 3: things because it leads to be it leads to getting
Speaker 3: taken advantage of, It leads to not knowing doing bad business.
Speaker 4: Because how you do one thing, it's how you do everything.
Speaker 3: So if you don't, if you're not on top of it,
Speaker 3: if you lay, if you always hi, if you got
Speaker 3: a million people around you, these are.
Speaker 4: Formulas for disaster.
Speaker 3: So it's like this is a bigger conversation, but the
Speaker 3: artists need to understand it.
Speaker 4: And it's not this artist like Larussell like this.
Speaker 3: There's a new generation of artists that are changing that mold.
Speaker 4: But it needs to be done more on a wider scale.
Speaker 3: So it's like, this is a this is a formula
Speaker 3: that record labels have put in place for artists. And
Speaker 3: they give you a manager, and they give you a
Speaker 3: styllus and they and they give you a rider. You
Speaker 3: don't even know you you don't know why you're doing
Speaker 3: these things. It's just been told to you. Like you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, like, this is what you're supposed
Speaker 3: to do. This is what this is what we're going
Speaker 3: to negotiate for you. This is what you get. You
Speaker 3: come to the club late. They tell him, like, you
Speaker 3: come to the club late, fashionably late. You know I'm
Speaker 3: at two o'clock. That's coming two o'clock. These are things.
Speaker 3: This is not honest real So this is how they're
Speaker 3: being educated. So, like I said, how you do everything,
Speaker 3: how you do one thing, how you do everything. So
Speaker 3: if you if you're told don't come to the club
Speaker 3: until one thirty, then you're thinking, I'm supposed to be late.
Speaker 3: So it's a business event. I'm supposed to be late.
Speaker 4: You just you.
Speaker 3: Automatically think that late is on time because I'm an
Speaker 3: artist and I can't come on time. But the crazy
Speaker 3: thing is when we interview Robert Smith, who's the richest
Speaker 3: black person in American history. It was on a Friday
Speaker 3: at seven o'clock in the morning at and he came
Speaker 3: at six point fifty.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So am So it's like, this is a person that's
Speaker 3: up eight billion dollars and he's up with a three
Speaker 3: piece suit on early, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 3: it's like, these are the kind of things. Never asks
Speaker 3: for a shot at tequila. You're drinking cough.
Speaker 5: Now, that's it.
Speaker 4: That's the request. That's the rider. Give me some coffee.
Speaker 5: Like that happens. Like you see like a lot of
Speaker 5: these artists who have longevity, Like we just saw Lula.
Speaker 5: He's on tour of Agenda. Right. There's like this thing
Speaker 5: going around like, yo, don't show up late to the show.
Speaker 5: They're going on on time. It's like, yeah, they are
Speaker 5: if you show up at seven forty five. He's on
Speaker 5: the stage at seven forty five in one second because
Speaker 5: he understands the value of his time, but he understands
Speaker 5: the value of everybody else's time too. You paid for
Speaker 5: a service. I'm here to entertain. I don't want to
Speaker 5: have you sitting here for two hours waiting for me
Speaker 5: to come out, and ja, it's gonna be on clockwork too,
Speaker 5: And so they understand it, but they longe they have
Speaker 5: longevity in the space, right and so like, if he's
Speaker 5: set in that trend and nobody's following it and nobody's
Speaker 5: bringing awareness to it, does it ever change? You know
Speaker 5: what I mean?
Speaker 8: This is important and all the people that are like coming,
Speaker 8: they're gonna come enjoy the show, but have no idea
Speaker 8: that you guys, from this conversation, you're teaching from the stage,
Speaker 8: but you're also teaching behind the scenes, like you're teaching,
Speaker 8: like you're teaching the artists how to operate. And nobody
Speaker 8: would ever think that before this moment, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean that I'm sure there's certain conversations that you
Speaker 8: have to have, like Yo, I'm gonna need you on time.
Speaker 4: Or you just jump you tell them two hours early.
Speaker 3: You do different than you do different tactics to kind of,
Speaker 3: you know, ensure that you don't get rude, because ultimately
Speaker 3: it's not in your best interest for somebody to be late.
Speaker 3: So you got to have certain incentives of certain different
Speaker 3: things in the nature. So you kind of learned that early,
Speaker 3: like when you learn called artists. This is how I
Speaker 3: got told them this I they handled this person.
