168
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 3: Because it seemed like all the people, all the young

169
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: ladies that you're describing, it seemed like you guys really

174
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: in the industry, and that's happening. Yeah, just like let

175
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: it naturally happen. And the relationships that I have right now,

176
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: they just feel supernatural. Like and I'm gonna keep emphasizing

177
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: the relationship with Glow because it just we met and

178
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,320

Speaker 3: You say you've become very close with Glow. What impressed

185
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: you most about when you first met these.

186
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: It did It was not an awkward interaction like sometimes

187
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I feel like you meet somebody and you immediately try

188
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: to Sometimes people are trying to act too cool. Sometimes

189
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: people act a little bougie or they act like you're

190
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: about to try to do something to them. Like I

191
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: feel like we all first met each other and we

192
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: was immediately like in They're like, we're talking, we having fun.

193
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: Like nobody had no ego, Like that's what I really

194
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: enjoyed about them. Nobody had a big ego like we

195
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: always equals.

196
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: So it's like a situation like sometimes you go somewhere

197
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: you see them and they be like, I ain't gonna

198
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: go over there till she come over her speaks.

199
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: Because it be like that's really like and like, especially

200
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: in the industry, you know, sometimes it'd be a popularity contest, right,

201
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: everybody has an ego. Everybody's a superstar, and you know,

202
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: as you should. You don't know how somebody gonna act.

203
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: You just walk up on them because you never know

204
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: what kind of reaction you're gonna get. So I understand

205
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: when you don't want to just immediately approach somebody because

206
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: you don't know what they're gonna say to you. But

207
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: in this instance and the girls that I'm cool with,

208
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: the first time we ever met each other, it was

209
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: just natural. It was like, WHI ch'all like you know,

210
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: ch'all like you So what's up?

211
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: So what was it like for me in Houston? You

00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: brought out Bun Bee, you brought out Slim Thug, you

213
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: brought out some of the Houston's biggest and brightest, But

214
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: that's your hometown, you bought and raised. That had to

215
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: be an amazing feeling that you come back and you

216
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: get the love from my hometown.

217
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was so happy. Like I'm such a big

218
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: fan of UGK. Everybody know, I'm seeing the snow because

219
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: of obviously Tony Snow which Pimco, but bun Getting that

220
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: cold sign from bun mean everything because this is who

221
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: I grew up listening to, right, Slim Thug, here food,

222
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: but like here Houston legend, Paul wall Zero, Like these

223
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: are the dudes that you hear when you turn on

224
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: the radio every morning in Houston, every afternoon, every night.

225
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: Like so being able to say I'm on the same

226
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: stage as the people I grew up listening to I

227
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: must be I must be that girl.

228
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: So what was it like? Obviously Bun is the mayor

229
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: of Nothing goes through Houston without Bun. I mean, he'd

230
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: give you his stamp of approval and you good to

231
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: go anywhere and anywhere in Houston. And you mentioned Paul Wall,

232
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: you mentioned Sli, I mean, so what was it like

233
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: to be embraced by them?

234
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, we got your girl.

235
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: I feel like they wouldn't endorse something they didn't believe in,

236
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: Like they wouldn't just be behind something just for the

237
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: sake of some cloud shit. Like I feel like they

238
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: came up there and they did they think because they

239
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: really support me, like and I like the way they

240
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: stand behind me. I like the way that they hold

241
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: me down like everything don't got to come to the

242
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: internet as far as support. But I thought that was

243
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: a big moment that they came and supported me publicly

244
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: on stage in our city.

245
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: I've been sitting down with you for ten minutes and

246
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 3: I can already tell you big on authenticity, you big

247
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 3: on genuine You don't deal with fate.

248
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: It's because I've been through it. Okay, So when I

249
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 1: was first coming up, I thought, and my mama and

250
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: my daddy used to tell me this all the time,

251
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: because I got a big problem with this. They used

252
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: to tell me all the time. Everything that grant ain't

253
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: your friend. It's a whole world going on around you.

254
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: Stop trying to be so nice to everybody, cause everybody's

255
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: not gonna get that same treatment. So I've been through

256
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: a phase in life where I have to figure out

257
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: just because I'm so damn nice and I'm so friendly

258
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: and I'm so open, that doesn't mean that everybody else

259
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: is gonna be that to me. Like I thought, if

260
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: I just be nice and I'll be myself, everything gonna

261
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: be okay. Like you must be being nice in being

262
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: yourself too, Like why would you want to do anything

263
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: to hurt me. I'm not trying to hurt you. But

264
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: I have to figure out, bitch, I'm winning this whole

265
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: little lamb, Like I'm just running around here like a

266
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: little rabbit waiting to get hunted. So I really appreciate

267
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: it when I meet somebody that feels real and genuine,

268
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: because it's hard to let your guard down, especially in

269
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: this type of space.

270
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: Can you sense when people are not being authentic with you.

271
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: I think I have a better sense now, Like I'm

272
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: not the type of person who come into a situation

273
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: expecting somebody to be fake or expecting somebody to want

274
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: to do something malicious. Like I come into a situation

275
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm about to be nice. I'm about

276
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: to be the best person I could be. I'm gonna

277
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: treat you how I want to be treated, and hopefully

278
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: you're about to do that to me. So it's kind

279
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: of hard for me to sense sometimes when somebody's doing wrong,

280
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: because why do I have to expect you to be

281
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: ready to hurt me? Like, why won't you just be nice?

282
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Because That's what I'm doing to you. So I'm getting

283
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: better at it.

284
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: Getting better.

285
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I read that, Uh Pempc's wife and you mentioned

286

00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: on the album and everything like that.

314
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: Why you're holding it so close to the best.

315
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: Well because in my previous experience will releasing music myself

316
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: be leaking?

317
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 2: Oh really?

318
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I just wasn't in the best situation to

319
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: where I could surprise my fans like the way that

320
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to. And now I'm in a space where

321
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm in complete control. So I've been trying to like

322
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: just whold it real near and dear until the day

323
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: of okay, because I don't want I don't want no leaks, right,

324
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't want you. I want you to be genuinely

325
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: surprised when you turn an album off. So when I

326
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: finally released the track list with the features on there,

327
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: I was nervous because I was like, oh my god,

328
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to I don't want anybody else

329
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: engineered to be on nothing silly and they accidentally lead

330
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: something or I didn't want nobody else to play it.

331
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was very nervous. But it's out now.

332
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: So you're on your Janet Jackson, You're on your control tour. Huh.

333
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just realized I might be kind of a

334
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: control free I didn't know that.

335
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: About really what now what gave it away?

336
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know that about me until recently.

337
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think a woman in your position.

338
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: You, Yeah, I might be, but I gotta be. I

339
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: like things the way.

340
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: That I like you, Right, you think people.

341
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: You think people look at you and because you're a

342
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: female try to take advantage of you, or they tried.

343
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: Maybe not now because you're vetting the game.

344
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's because I'm a female

345
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: that they tried to take advantage of me. I think

346
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: it's just because I'm so nice that they tried to

347
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: take advantage of me.

348
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: They take your kindness with weakness.

349
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: They do. They was taking my kindness for weakness, like

350
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: I put a lot of people above myself. I used

351
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: to put a lot of people above myself all the time,

352
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: Like I would try to do things where Okay, this

353
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: might hurt me, but at least I won't be hurting

354
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: ten other people. Like I would never put myself first.

355
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: So I'm in the era of putting myself first.

356
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but damn you hurting you, but you prop it

357
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: up everybody.

358
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean, well, because I feel like I'll be hurt

359
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: for a little while. Like I know how to get

360
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: over things right, but I feel like I don't know.

361
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to hurt other people feelings right

362
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: at the sake of having my own feelings hurt. But

363
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: now I don't really like that, Like I don't want

364
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: my feelings hurt either, so I'm just protecting my piece.

365
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: What was it like working with Victorian in the studio?

366
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: Victoria is everything. She's so sweet and apparently we look alike,

367
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: so we talk about that all the time. Victoria's lip.

368
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: That's what I would say.

369
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: So let's just say for the album. I guess albums

370
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: normally drop on like a Tuesday. We're not gonna know

371
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: who's actually on the album until what.

372
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: No, So there's only one feature that people don't know

373
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: about yet. Okay, but my track lists, who are with

374
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: the features on there is already out.

375
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: It's only one you know that must be special?

376
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: You gott oh God, like I'm just got the feature

377
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: is special.

378
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: Everybody on my album is special to me, right? The

379
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: reason why the feature is hidden? Do I want to

380
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: say why the feature is hitting? Yeah? Why the feature

381
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: was hidden because I wasn't sure at first if this

382
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: song was actually going to go on the album.

383
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: Okay, now that the song, now, the song is going

384
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: to go on the album.

385
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: So that's why the name wasn't on the track list.

386
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: When I when I look at you and I think

387
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: of you, and i've heard you speak before, you are

388
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: very you're a very strong woman, and now that you're

389
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: independent because you financed this whole.

390
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: Because now it's coming out Intohigh Girl Productions.

391
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so let me ask you this, why did

392
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: you Why did you feel because I'm sure there are

393
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: a lot of recording there are a lot of album

394
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: record labels that wanted made.

395
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: Why did you choose to go.

396
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: I've been in a situation where I felt like I

397
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: was so out of control for the longest. And when

398
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: I say out of control, like I didn't really have

399
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: complete control over my music. I could barely go perform

400
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: when I felt like it. They couldn't use my music

401
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: in commercials. I had to literally go to court every

402
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: time I wanted to drop a song. So I just

403
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: was like, you know what I need to do what's

404
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: best for me, Like I appreciate what a label can

405
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: do for you, but if y'all can't agree to these terms,

406
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: and I don't want to do it, So I wouldn't

407
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna go nowhere where they wasn't gonna give me what

408
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: I was worth and they weren't gonna give me what

409
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: I was asking for. But that's how I wanted with

410
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: my distribution for Warner because they believe in me, and

411
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: it's really like a trusting I feel like when you

412
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: signed to a label, like it's all business at the

413
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: end of the day, but you still want to be

414
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: somewhere where y'all could trust each other. I know you

415
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: ain't gonna mess over me, and I'm not gonna mess

416
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: over you. We both need to win. They seemed like

417
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: they wanted to win with me. They didn't want to

418
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: win with without me. It wasn't a situation where I

419
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, we're gonna do this with it without you. No,

420
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: they wanted to win together, and that's what I liked

421
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: about wanting.

422
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: You keep talking about control, but I'm looking at you.

423
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: You will control for.

424
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: You going to control what I'm telling you.

425
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm coming to terms with this, like, oh, you were

426
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: trying to deny it.

427
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: I was trying to deny it because I didn't really

428
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: know what that meant at first. Okay, but I think

429
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: you know. I figured out I'm claustophobic, right, I don't

430
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: like heights, And I had to start figuring out why,

431
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: why do I Why am I scared of heights? Why

432
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: am I clausophobic? I don't want to be closed up

433
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: in nothing that I can't get out of.

434
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't want to go up.

435
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: Too high because I can't turn around. I will not

436
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: do no, I won't even walk in the room. I

437
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: don't know how to get out of here.

438
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: So you ain't do it. The roller coasters, huh, No, what.

439
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: You got. I'm putting my life in this person hands,

440
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: in this machine eighty two years old. You you eighteen

441
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: in this machine eighty two. You don't even know this thing.

442
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: So I definitely ain't about to let you run me

443
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: up then turn me upside down?

444
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: No, right, no?

445
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 3: So does it feel better knowing that you're in total control?

446
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 3: The music's gonna come out exactly how Meg wanted it,

447
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 3: everything's gonna get you know what.

448
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: You have to also take up into account the things

449
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: that you cannot control. I'm gonna be in control of

450
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: the things that I can be in control of because

451
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: when you I feel like, when you're trying to do

452
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: something great, it's always gonna be some bumps's yeah, something

453
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna be out of your control. But I've controlled

454
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: all of the things that I could. Like right now,

455
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm actually going through it because I had a sample

456
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: on my album that's an anime sample and everything was

457
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: going so smooth. At first they were like, okay, yeah, fine,

458
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: sure she could use it. Then they were like, well, actually,

459
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: if you do a video, you can't dress up like

460
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: none of the characters in this in this show. So

461
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: I said, okay, I'm whatever, I won't do it. I'm grateful,

462
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: thank you. Then they said last night, when was this?

463
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: I found this out yesterday at my show the night

464
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: before that. They said, well, you can't say none of

465
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: the names. This is a whole hook.

466
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: What damn?

528
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 3: believe in ghostwriters? Do you write a lot of your

529
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: own raps?

530
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 2: I mean I do.

531
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: I do write all my own verses. I will take

532
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: a hook from somebody, Okay, I feel like there's nothing

533
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: wrong with getting suggestions. When my mom was alive, my

534
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: mama and me used to go back and forth freestyling.

535
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: Or she'll listen to something I wrote or something I recorded.

536
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: She'd be like, you can stay it harder than that. Yeah,

537
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: She'll be like, Mom, like that, MoMA was like, you

538
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: could just stay harder than that. You, She'll she'll say,

539
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: you ain't going hard enough. You need to go in

540
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: there and do it again. So taking suggestion from somebody,

541
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: I feel like it's cool. Like everybody need a little inspiration,

542
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: But me personally, like, I like to write my own

543
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: verses cause it's very hard for me to say things

544
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: that I did not write. It's very hard for me

545
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: to believe what I'm saying if I ain't had but

546
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't think nothing wrong with you getting help because

547
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take some help on the hook, right because

548
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: I talk a lot, so I'm a i'mna write them verses.

549
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: But when it gets to the hook, I feel like

550
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: you gotta be catchy, you gotta be simple. It gotta

551
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: be straight to the point, and I'll be talking, so

552
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: somebody gotta I'll take your advice. Yeah, I'll take advice.

553
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: Have you written for other people? Will you write for

554
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 3: other people? Have you written for other people? You ain't

555
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: got to say the name?

556
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: No, No, I haven't.

557
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: Are you sure?

558
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: Yep?

559
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: I don't know that, don't stand. I ain't convinced.

560
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: I will like to write for people in the future.

561
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: But no, I don't write for other.

562
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question. Do you have

563
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: a studio on your home?

564
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: I don't, you don't, so, but I have all the

565
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: equipment so wherever I go, I can travel with it

566
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: and then have my engineers just come set up wherever

567
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm at.

568
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: So what's some of the craziest places a song that's

569
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: come to you? And you're like, man, I need to

570
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: start putt pinging.

571
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: On this tour. Really, Yes, I have been recording this

572
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: whole tour.

573
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 3: How do you I mean, I would, I mean, you

574
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: know better than me. I'll be thinking about Man, Okay,

575
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: I'm in Houston to night, I'm in Dallas tomorrow.

576
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: I'm now it's been pretty hectic, Like, yeah, so how

577
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: do you have to set up every night everywhere I'm at.

578
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: And your mind can relax enough to allow you to

579
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: go to another space where you're thinking creatively on something else.

580
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: Already I'm thinking about words all day long, Like I'll

581
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: be writing in the shower, I'll be writing in the

582
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: bed in the middle of the night. I write I

583
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: was writing on a tour bus. I'll be writing anywhere,

584
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: like wherever it comes to me. And then if I've already,

585
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: like especially if this is what I've been doing a

586
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: lot on the tour. If I already wrote the song,

587
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: but something else cool comes to my mind, I be like, Okay,

588
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: so where she need to go? Set up up in

589

641
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: don't like a lot of noise in the studio. I

642
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: don't like a lot of people. Obviously. The only noise

643

Speaker 1: goal in the studio. I record it. It's like a

649
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,040

650
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: there and I'll be like, just messing around. This is

651

Speaker 1: when I got the throng, I was on my goddamn

779
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: knees on the side of my bed, thing God, because

780
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: I never thought like, in your mind, you know what

781
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: you want to do with your life, and you know

782
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,000

784
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,680

Speaker 3: Obviously you're at rock Nation, So what was the conversation?

830
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: Like it just felt like I was in the right spot, Like,

831
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: like I said, I was manifesting a lot of stuff

832
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: in myself. Never did I ever think that I was

833
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: actually going to be managed by the people that I

834
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: looked up to. It just felt like a big family.

835
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: They're just so intelligent, like they've been through everything. They

836
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: still going through it right now, but they just know

837
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: how to carry it. And I'm learning from the best.

838
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in the right spottom, in the

839
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: right position. I ain't never felt so safe in a

840
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: situation where I feel like these people got my back.

841
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: And I just see how much they grind and how

842
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: much they hustle and how much they led all the

843
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: talk and whatever else. People I say, just roll off

844
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: their back, y'all Jay or Daz, this is the woman

845

Speaker 1: who really run shit at Rognation. And I'll be like,

846
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: they're saying this about me. They got me be fucked

847
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: up there, And They'll be somewhere on the island, like

00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: why do you even care about that? There? You trip

849
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: it Like, I'll be like, why the fuck is y'all

850
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: so cool all the time?

851
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: When you decided to go independent? Did you talk to Jay?

852
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: Because he's someone that that the business augment is there

853
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 3: be she knows what to do. So who did you

854
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 3: do when you decide and says you know what, I'm

855
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 3: gonna do this on my own. Did you just did

856
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: you talk to them or did you talk to me?

857
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: When I was in the situation that I was in

858
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: and I wanted to get out of it, they told me,

859
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: you need to do this on your own. Like you

860
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: you already know what it is. You got all the tools,

861
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: all the legal shit that you're going through right now.

862
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: I know you're learning something, so you should be able

863
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get out here and be

864
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: your own boss. Beyonce is the person who actually inspired

865
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: me to get my own tequila because I used to

866
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: I used to be the Kanyak Queen. I'm still the

867
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: Kanyak Queen. Yeah, but as much as I used to,

868
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy Koonyak and I promoted a lot of

869
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: people like liquor brands. She was like, the next time

870
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: I see, you need to have your own you need

871
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: to have your own alcoholic alcoholic beverage. And I was like,

872
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: you know what, You're right, queen, I am gonna have

873
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: my own shit. So now I have my own tequila.

874
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: It's called Sheka Steve R. T Us and it's gonna

875
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: be so cute. I've been serving it throughout my tour

876
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: and everybody's been loving it. So I feel like they

877
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: definitely put me in a position to learn how to

878
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: be my own boss.

879
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 2: Would the independent deal hard to negotiate with the wrong people?

880
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you, why would somebody want you to have

881
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: all ownership over something that they could have ownership over

882
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: and make all the money? Like, why would somebody let

883
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: the artists being full complete control when that when that's

884
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: usually not done. But like I said, when we were

885
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: in talks with Warner, Like, they didn't seem like they

886
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: were being greedy. They didn't seem like they didn't want

887
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: me to have creative control, They didn't want me to

888
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: have my freedom. They just want wanted to help me

889
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: be the person, be the artist that I want to

890
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: grow into being.

891
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: You feel like it's a partnership instead of you just

892
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 3: being talent, You're a partner.

893
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: They not treating me like I'm just a product.

894
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: Right.

895
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: It felt like, Okay, we are partners in this and

896
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: what would you like to do? Megan, That's what I

897
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: liked about that.

898
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 3: You do understand though, being a businessman myself, is that

899
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: when you start spending money, is your money that I've.

900
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 1: Been spending my own money for a long time. These

901
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: music videos ain't cheap. That's what I definitely learned when

902
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: I jumped off the porch and wanted to be independent.

903
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: I said, how much did shit comes?

904
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

905
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: I don't think we need all them dancers.

906
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: No, I go in for myself. I believe in myself,

907
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: and I believe that I'm making a really good investment

908
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: in something that I believe in. If I ain't gonna

909
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: back myself up, who else gonna do it? If I

910
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: don't believe it, y'all motherfuckers ain't gonna believe it. So

911
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: the last three music videos, y'all see me put out

912
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: that's straight out of make it to stay out of

913
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: your bank account, And that shit was not cheap. But

914
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: that's okay because I like good art. When I look

915
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: at the music video, I want to watch that ship

916
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: over and over again. So I want to put out

917
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: something that I know that my hobbies are going to

918
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: want to watch them over and over.

919
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: Yet, and the thing is that when you win, and

920
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 2: guess who wins.

921
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, me and my people that support me, you're.

922
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: Rat And that's how that's how it should be.

923
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 3: Okay, Now that you own your catalog and we see

924
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 3: a lot of other celebs that you know, entertainers have

925
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 3: sold their catalog if that was something that you would

926
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: be looking to do down the road or you, like

927
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,279

928
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold on to it.

929
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't know about all that not right now. I don't.

930
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why. It may be a good business

931
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: move to them, I don't know, but I just got

1088
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 3: Other ship you belong to, that's what made you what

1089
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 3: you're like, Hey, you know what?

1090
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: It was just so many businesses were using it, and

1091
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: of course you know, when me and Rock get together,

1092
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: we'll be having to figure it out.

1093
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 2: What's going on?

1094
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: What are you going to do?

1095
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: Making?

1096
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, it just felt like the smart thing to do.

1097
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 3: So what are some of the things that you learned

1098
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 3: about business that you didn't know besides owning or I

1099
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 3: own a business, but there's so much more to a

1100
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 3: business and just owning a business.

1101
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like we talked about it a little

1102
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: bit earlier about spending your own money. You can't make

1103
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 1: money without spending money. True, when you ever heard somebody

1104
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,959
Speaker 1: say it costs to be the boss. Now, I really

1105
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: do understand that. Like I like to have nice things.

1106
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: I like my things to look a certain type of way.

1107
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to be extravagant. I wanted to look like

1108
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: a production every time you see it. Now, how is

1109
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: that going to happen?

1110
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 3: Who?

1111
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: Money is it? And you can either go get somebody

1112
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: to investing you, but now you're making them be a

1113
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: boss over you too. Now do you want to have

1114
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: complete ownership? You invest everything in yourself, you do it everything,

1115
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: You do everything on your own. So I'm gonna say

1116
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,479
Speaker 1: the money part is the part that I've definitely learned

1117
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: about having a complete ownership and being your own boss.

1118
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 3: Because you do realize, like when you go get some

1119
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 3: of these big name guys or females to women to

1120
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 3: be on your do a feature that cost I mean

1121
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 3: tooth fifty. I heard what you pay future tooth fifty

1122
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 3: to do a hook a feature?

1123
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 2: Excuse me? So you're like, well, damn too fifty.

1124
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: But that's okay because when you when you're paying somebody

1125
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: they fee, that mean that you respect them and appreciate

1126
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: them as a artist. Like I'm not about to ask

1127
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 1: nobody to do nothing for me for free. I asked

1128
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: what is the future price? Because I want you to

1129
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: know how to see you're saying about this, I ain't

1130
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: trying to beg and I ain't trying to scramble on.

1131
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: It ain't got to be a favor for a favor.

1132
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to do your art on my.

1133
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 2: Arm future for me. I do a feature for you?

1134
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: What about that?

1135
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: That's cool, that happens too, but that's not what happened.

1136
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: Like I wanted that feature and I was just like,

1137
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: somebody helped me figure out what's his feature price? The

1138
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: manager told me what it was. Boom, go send him

1139
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: money cash so he could do this for me.

1140
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 2: A sap. Yeah you bosted like that.

1141
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but sometimes you gotta put your foot down, like

1142
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: everything not about are we cool? Like that's that's yeah,

1143
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: that's what people fuck up at. Just because somebody your

1144
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: homeboy or your homegirl, that don't mean that they got

1145
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: to give you everything for free. Support your people like

1146
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: you are artist and you gotta get your money. Why

1147
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: not I pay your artists friends to do whatever for you.

1148
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: I ain't trying to beg got motherfuckers for nothing.

1149

Speaker 3: Your first tour. You were on tour with Future and Meat, Right,

1150
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 3: what was that experience like? So that was your very

1151
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 3: first tour, So what was your expectations when you went

1152
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 3: on tour.

1153
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have any expectations, Like me coming fresh out

1154
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: of Houston doing just like a whole Texas circuit all

1155
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: the time, to going every guy down where I used

1156
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: to be so nervous somebod like do any of these

1157
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,440

00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 4: Like?

1159
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: Do they care that I'm here? And I would come

1160
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: out there and it'll be a little bit empty at first,

1161
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,439
Speaker 1: and then it'd get like super packed by the time

1162
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: I was done, and the motherfuckers knew who I was

1163
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: by the time I was gone, Right, So I felt

1164
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: like I was working, I was grinding, and I loved it.

1165
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 3: I read that you let used to freestyle, used to

1166
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 3: battle rap against guys.

1167
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 2: You made that up. I did, and not ren That's

1168
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: what I got right here. Who you cann hurt that

1169
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 2: from by people.

1170
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 3: My research that didn't help you didn't You didn't freestyle,

1171
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 3: You didn't battle rap.

1172
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: I used to be freestyling with the boys and stuff.

1173
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't battle rapper. Yeah, you were, I ain't no

1174
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: battle rapper. I'll just be talking shit. Oh I ain't

1175
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:14,919
Speaker 1: no battle rapper or nothing.

1176
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: Why you talking? Why are you talking that like that?

1177
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: Because that's what I do. But I feel like battle

1178
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: rapping that's like a whole culture, like that's all.

1179
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1180
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 3: But but I'm just saying, but you freestyling, you going

1181
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 3: against the guys, that is that what you sharpen your skills?

1182
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 2: Is that what you no?

1183
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: Like I told you earlier, Me and my mama used

1184
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: to be going back and forth. Really yeah, she she

1185
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: was really the one, and I just wanted to beat

1186
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: her and I wanted to impress her, and like I thought,

1187
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: she was just the coldest rapper ever. So if I

1188
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: was gonna compete with anybody, it was gonna be my mama.

1189
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 2: Right. Your mom really inspired you? Huh Yeah, that's good.

1190
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1191
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 3: I mean it seems to me that you guys had

1192
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 3: something more more. It's like, I hate I don't want

1193
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 3: you can correct me if I'm wrong. It's like you

1194
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 3: guys were like, yes, that was your mom, you're the daughter,

1195
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 3: but y'all had more like a relationship, like y'all were

1196
00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 3: like sister, Like.

1197
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: Well, you know, black Mama's gonna always tell you, ain't

1198
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 1: your friends, your sister and all that shit. So I

1199
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: ain't gonna say she was my sister, but my mama.

1200
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: My mama was my best friend, and it used to

1201
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: really just be me her and my dad before he passed,

1202
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: and I didn't really care about nobody else. I didn't

1203
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: care about having a bunch of friends and stuff because

1204
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: and I was a very friendly kid. But I was

1205
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: the only child, so like I just I just was

1206
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: wating around my mom.

1207
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: I was.

1208
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: That's why I still showered myself in these type of gifts,

1209
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: because that's what I'm used to. My mama, my daddy

1210
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: and my grandma, Like they just gave me whatever I wanted.

1211
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: They made me feel and it makes me appreciate it

1212
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: today because I'm just now realizing we were not rich

1213
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: and they just really broke they back to give me

1214
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: everything that I asked for, and more so now I'm like, damn,

1215
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize my mama was struggling like that

1216
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: and still giving me everything I asked for.

1217
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 2: Do you ever wish you had siblings?

1218
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: No? I like being the only child. Yes, I couldn't

1219
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: even imagine if to me, No, I they have to

1220
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: be two of you.

1221
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 2: They could have to own that.

1222
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: Did meg no? Because I would have made them be.

1223
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 2: Like what if they were if they were the oldest?

1224
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: Mmmm See, I wouldn't have liked that because I probably

1225
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been me if I was trying to be

1226
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: like my big sister.

1227
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 2: You had a brother, I wool that all right?

1228
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,439
Speaker 1: Well, if I would have had a brother, he would

1229
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: have been cool too, and he probably would have been

1230
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: trying to make me not be me though I don't know,

1231
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: but if I had a brother, that'd be real cool.

1232
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1233
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: See, I couldn't even imagine it being a boy me

1234
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 1: what we'll be trouble?

1235
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 2: What about the accent that I mean, I can tell

1236
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 2: you from the South.

1237
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: I have accent. Okay, I know I got an accent,

1238
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: but like I really ain't never really hear it myself

1239
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: until I started leaving Texas, Like when I started going

1240

00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: I was like the probably the thickest one at the job.

1311
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: And I thought I was so rich because I was

1312
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: getting all the tips and I was like, shit, I'm lit.

1313
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna do shit else. But I was doing that.

1314
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: I was going to school and rapping, right, but I

1315
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: thought I was so rich as a waitress.

1316
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 3: You go to Prayer View, you end up transferring to

1317
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 3: going to Texas Southern. So were you rapping in college?

1318
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: Yes, when I first got there. Okay, so this is

1319
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: what happened. So my grandma wanted me to go to

1320
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: college to be a nurse. So that's how I want

1321
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: up at TV because she told me you're finna go

1322
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: be a nurse. And I said, okay, fine, I ain't

1323
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: tell my grandma I want to wrap. So when I

1324
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: got to TV, I was like, okay, I ain't got

1325
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: to hide what I really want to do no more.

1326
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: So I just immediately got to TV and started rapping

1327
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: like whoever I can get around, And.

1328
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 2: They was doing whatever it was nursing program.

1329
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: No, I ain't say f the nursing program, but I

1330
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 1: was definitely in the class in all the classes, like

1331
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: you know, your little prerequisit classes like scratching my head

1332
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: like I'm paying attention, but I'm like, oh, bitch, what

1333
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go? Like as only cause I wasn't like

1334
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: passionate about it right because I went to school because

1335
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: my grandma told me to go to school to do

1336
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 1: this so I really wasn't doing bad, but I wasn't

1337
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: doing good. You can only make two seeds in the

1338
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: nursing program.

1339
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 4: You know.

1340
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: I made about three of them. Things, So I had

1341
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: to go ahead and get up out of there because

1342
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: I'd rather like do my best than fail and be

1343
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: wasting money. So I changed my major to business management. Okay, okay, okay,

1344
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: cause I was like, you know what, I'm a businesswoman.

1345
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna be a business woman, like I

1346
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: gotta figure out how to market myself. It just all

1347
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: sounded good. So I started taking the business classes and

1348
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: I said, oh god, this is okay. This is better

1349
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: than the nursing for me, Like I'm making better grades.

1350
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: But something about it was still not interesting. And I

1351
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: was in class when I'll be writing music and just

1352
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: zoned out, and I was like, no, like, I know,

1353
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: school is not whooping my ass because I'm not smart.

1354
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: I know I'm smart, but maybe it's just that I'm bored.

1355
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: That wasn't my passion. So once I finally figured out

1356
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: what I wanted to go to school for, that's when

1357
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: I started really like piping up. That's when I got

1358
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 1: to TSU. I got to focus more and I knew

1359
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: I want to graduate. I'm passionate about starting my own

1360
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: assistant living facility.

1361
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 2: How do I do this?

1362
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: And when I got to see su, then I started

1363
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: making a's and b's and I said, here we go,

1364
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: there you go. I knew it was up there.

1365
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 3: So how much credit do you give social media because

1366
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 3: you're you're big and you're big on social media. I mean,

1367
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 3: like you said, you got the hobbies and so the

1368
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 3: young girls they follow Meg. Yeah, how much credit you

1369
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 3: give social media for being able to put you not

1370
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 3: you got talent? Yeah, So I don't want to I

1371
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 3: don't want you to think that I'm saying you're not

1372
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 3: talent and that you're just a social media creation.

1373
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 2: You know. Thank you so.

1374
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 3: Social media aspect and Meg, because it's it's different now

1375
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 3: because you can blow up overnight with social media.

1376
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely give social media a lot of credit

1377
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: because that was my platform for people to see I

1378
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: can rap like I feel like back then it was

1379
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: a little hard for like rappers to like really be

1380
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,959
Speaker 1: grinding because you you got to be on the street

1381
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: passing out your CDs, you got to be at all

1382
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: the clubs doing all your ship like it was like footwork,

1383
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: but the Internet, you could literally post yourself and it

1384
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: will travel to the next country. So I definitely give

1385
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: social media a lot of credit for people discovering who

1386
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: I am, because as soon as I started dropping them

1387
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: freestyles and I was doing them ciphers and shit like,

1388
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: it just went everywhere. People everywhere could figure out who

1389
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: I was. But I know it's because I actually could rap.

1390
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: Like you could be doing anything on the Internet and

1391
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: blow up for it, but I'm glad that I blew

1392
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: up from actually knowing how to skills.

1393
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna get you out of here on this.

1394
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 3: You posted something a couple of weeks ago, and maybe

1395
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 3: you were you were you were feeling some type of way,

1396
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 3: and you was like, you couldn't understand why a person

1397
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 3: like yourself that's so positive and people come on your

1398
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 3: page to try to beat it down. How does like

1399
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 3: you're such a positive person. You don't really You try

1400
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 3: to stay out of everybody's way, but it seems like

1401
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 3: the negativity and Meg, I'm the same way somebody can.

1402
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,479
Speaker 3: I can hear a million great things, but it's something

1403
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 3: about that negative one that just hurts me, that just

1404
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 3: bothers me. And we know you've dealt with depression and

1405
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 3: you've had some thoughts that took you to a dark place.

1406
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 3: What do you think it was when you're so positive,

1407
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 3: you got so much going on that you think people

1408
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 3: want to come on your platform and try to drag

1409
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 3: you down.

1410
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: I feel like we're human, so naturally, when you see

1411
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: somebody say something bad about you that's untrue, or try

1412
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: to put out information about you that's untrue, you want

1413
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,439
Speaker 1: to defend yourself. Yeah, Like, it's only so many times

1414
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: you could just keep trying to be the bigger person.

1415
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 2: Ignor shit.

1416
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,600

1417
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:39,440

1418
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: you try to be so positive and you try to

1419
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: like let shit roll off your back or you try

1420
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:49,640

00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: people try to break into that space, Like why do

1422

1500
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,360

01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: something else. They think this make it crazy? Eighteen year

1502
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: old Megan or you was on one her I was

1503
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: on ten. Yeah, I'll be like, Wow, people think I'm

1504
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: so wild and I'm so crazy. I'm calm.

1505
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 2: Actually, would you do reality TV?

1506
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: If I could have a show about myself?

1507
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 2: Yes? What would it be about?

1508
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: I got enough shit going on in my life that

1509
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: people could make an episode out of it every day?

1510
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: So I actually would consider having a show about my money.

1511
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 2: But won't you won't you have a crew to follow

1512
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 2: you around?

1513
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: So we just finished my documentary and that was very

1514
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: hard for me because I'm not used to literally a

1515
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: camera following me around all the goddamn time, and they'll

1516
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: be like, just do you just be natural? And I'd

1517
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: be like, bitch, what what do that mean? Be natural

1518
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: in the camera by me?

1519
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 2: And how?

1520
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: But I'm more open to it now and I want

1521
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: and I definitely would like take it to consideration having

1522
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: a show, because at least people will see my real

1523
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: reaction and what I really feel and what's really happening

1524
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: from my perspective versus people making up shit that's completely untrue.

1525
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 2: Did you play sports growing up?

1526
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: I played every sport for a day.

1527
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 2: I did.

1528
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:42,439
Speaker 1: Well because so I'm tall, right, so naturally everybody wanted

1529
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: me to do something. They'd be like, making you're so

1530
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,439
Speaker 1: you should play basketball. I'll be like, all right, let's

1531
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: try it. Get out there. Goddamn, do you know what

1532
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: suicides are? This lady said, all right, y'all, y'all for

1533
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: the real suicide. I said, what that means? Why so intense?

1534
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: That name is crazy? So I'm go see what you're

1535
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: killing yourself. You're running back and forth as many times.

1536
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: So that was the first red flag. The second red

1537
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: flag was everybody chasing after me for this goddamn bar

1538
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: don't hit me, don't touch me. So I was like,

1539
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I like to watch this, but me

1540
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: doing it now. I don't want to do all that

1541
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: running at the time at the time because.

1542
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 2: But you're exercise fanatic.

1543
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: Now, okay, that's now. But I'm saying at the time,
