Happy Turkey Day 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: to everyone. Everybody has some good turkey out there. We 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: got here working all right, yes, sir man, working hard, hard, 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: hard hard. Yo. I was wondering, man, everything we're doing, 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: I wondered, when we're gonna get that big guests man, 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: A big guest man. I think every guest is a 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: big guest man. I want, but I want to shake 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: up the hollidays. We know how they see the time. 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: I think about, like, you know, the classics, we dropped 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: on Christmas and stuff, and we always we always turned 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: up for the holidays. You know how great partners an 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: interval of giving us the holidays days off for the schedule. 14 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: But I'm not really into days off, man. I like 15 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: to work. If we can pull a heavyweight, I think 16 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: they'll let us drop one on a holiday, right produce 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: a Lorrid's put a bug in the air and said, 18 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: you know we can get a heavyweight. We'll see, We'll see, 19 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, there's only so many names you 20 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: could float around. But I feel like all our guests 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: in everyweight, including the one we have lined up today. 22 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, we'll get to that in a minute. Though. 23 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: What you what you think of Grammys nominations. I think 24 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: that I think it's getting better. I mean, I see 25 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: a couple of grumblings about I think DJ Khalid and 26 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: maybe Future and Jack Hollins and God did. But I'm 27 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: not mad at put your Tea in Kendrick Lamar being included. 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: I would have rather had seen I don't know who 29 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: would have been admitted, but I wouldn't mind seeing Vince 30 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: Staples on there. Um. I think Joey Badass deserved the 31 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: look um and even maybe Freddy Gibbs. I think his 32 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: project is solid as well. So I guess I can't 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: be too upset. Yeah, I guess it. Kind of we 34 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: had that one year were kind of more the underground 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: independent artists got represented. This is this year feels very 36 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: like more mainstream, more major label, like when you get 37 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: like Atlantic with Jack Hollow or A Cold and stuff. 38 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: But I'm happy for klid Man, and I also think 39 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: that you know, it's it's gonna be hard to beat 40 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: the boy Kendrick Man. I just don't think like this. 41 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: The McLamore. Uh, I don't see him losing in any 42 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: of the hip hop categories. I don't see any I 43 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: don't see Kendrick losing to anybody in the hip hop space. 44 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, if Kendrick is on the ballot 45 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: tucking ship in man like, I don't think just go home. 46 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: You know you beat him in the rap category, not 47 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: with off this album, I don't think and like, And 48 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: then he said every one of his albums has also 49 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: been up for Album of the Year, so you know 50 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: he's in that. Beyonce is in the mix. The Carters 51 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: we got. We gotta shout out the Carters. Absolutely what 52 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: most nominations of all time. They both have. They broke 53 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: all the records. Man, the Grammy family, Man, all the 54 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: Grammy family. Indeed, I think Beyont is well deserved. She's 55 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. I hate the fact that the 56 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: Album of the Year nominees are like been extended. It 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: used to be like with like five nominees. Now it's 58 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: like too many choices, like ten nominees. Right, Yeah, I 59 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: don't like that. I don't like that. Yeah, I think 60 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: it should be like for five, right, good number? Yeah, 61 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: eight is enough? Yeah. Then now they turned into a 62 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: puzzling ships like there's ten albums like even no, but yeah, 63 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: i'd like to see I'd like to see, you know, 64 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Kendrick gonna be win, Like I like to see somebody 65 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: obviously from the culture win. We've only really won hip 66 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: hop cultures only one album yor twice right, still the 67 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: Lauren Hill and the Outcast. Yeah, and that Outcast albums 68 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: almost twenty years ago. It was that two thousand three, 69 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, two thousand and four. So it's 70 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: been a while since we've had someone representing from the 71 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: culture for the album of the year. So hopefully Beyonce 72 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: or Kendrick takes it home. Do you think of that 73 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: NAS album Man, and then you love that Magic record? 74 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: You love the NA Magic King Disease three is tough. 75 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: I think Magic is better. It's a better project, you 76 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: know that Magic Man. I feel like it's spotless. I've 77 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: been listening to it NonStop. I'm still upset that he 78 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: put it out after I dropped my list because I 79 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: think it was easily the best rap album. Um, no 80 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: disrespect to Jake Cole and other guys as well, but 81 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I think it was. It was definitely superior. How do 82 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: you feel about it. I like, I like Kings of 83 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: these three. I don't like I think. I think Kings 84 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: of These two is my favorite. I think I like 85 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: the second one of the best. I love that record done. 86 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: That's a queen's anthem. That's an instant queen's anthem. You know. 87 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: He shouts out that he's not at the whole jb 88 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: IF and he mentioned titles, So that's been the title. 89 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of love there. Um. But yeah, no, 90 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: I think I'm just excited that he really did it 91 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: with hit Boy and they did four albums. Like I 92 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: remember those those loans where Knaves wouldn't put music out 93 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: and like leaping out here. Now for him to really 94 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: put out four albums in two years, like, it's it's ridiculous. Man, 95 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: I got shot four albums and two years. I could divide. 96 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: That's not bad. It's a good ratio. The only thing 97 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: now be a nice man. We gotta gets man that 98 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: doesn't want to talk to us man. And I think 99 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,559 Speaker 1: this is his first album without only guest features, first 100 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: time ever. Huh. Yeah.

He's on the 115 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: cover of Forbes magazine. He just opened up a flagship 116 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: cookie store in New York City, and he has a 117 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: new album out too, and which I really enjoy So yeah, no, 118 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: I liked it too. Like his dedication to the music 119 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: is crazy because he hasn't been he's not a rap star, 120 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: but he's continually puts our albums and love the culture. 121 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: You can just tell him like remains dedicated. Like even 122 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: from sitting with him, you could just tell he's he 123 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: really is content just making the music. I don't really 124 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: feel like he's kind of chasing the hit or you know, 125 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: it feels like he has to be outside of his 126 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: comfort zone. I feel like he's got his lane. He's 127 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: kind of mastered it. Yeah. I thought it was kind 128 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: of dope how he said he's not chasing a hit, 129 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: you know, like artists are usually chasing the record, you know, 130 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: to get on the radio or you know, to to 131 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: get more visibility. But I think he's content with just 132 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: being who he is and his fans love him just 133 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, and I'm glad we went there. I 134 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: think the one cool thing we always do is that 135 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: we go we go out there and get the guests. Man, 136 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: you went to the bay. That's the first time in 137 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: the bay, right, That was my first time in the bay.

I live in like a small town, 216 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, and where in Montana where I was, and 217 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: and they flew out, and so to me, that was 218 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: like maybe even doper, you know, the photographer flew out, 219 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: and then um, the homey to interview me flew out, 220 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: and we got to spend time in the lake and 221 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: really top game. It was way more personal. So, I mean, 222 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: just the fact they flew out like that, like I 223 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: thought they were gonna tell me to go funk myself, 224 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, so you're bold enough to potentially turn down 225 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: because I was thinking about life, you know, I was 226 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: talking about just like life and want to enjoy life 227 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: and just being in that moment with the with the 228 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: fam and the dogs and just being like, I'm not 229 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: really on the hype to go to New York right now. 230 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: You know, so man shout to forest. That was business 231 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: bensince leaning on the Forks like help the brand taking 232 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: even more serious. Yeah, I think it helped normalize a 233 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: little more because you know a lot of other companies, 234 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: like we've had a lot of opportunities with like footwear 235 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: and things like that to do some really cool things, 236 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: and they look at it and they're like, oh, it's 237 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: burning the weak guy, you know, so kind of put 238 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: me like an account of like a little box for 239 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: a while. But I think the Forbes cover kind of 240 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: normalize it. Hey, this business is real and it's thriving 241 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: right now. It's being recognized by platforms like this, So 242 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: it's definitely helped. And then a couple of other things 243 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: following that helped as well. So yeah, yeah, the right 244 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: I had the court I want you to address, He said, 245 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: this story is about how the federal government continues the 246 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: box opportunities to legalize the cannabis industry and lets the 247 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: seventy two billion economy out of the shadows. In a decade, 248 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: Bernards built cookies into the buzziest global brand of cannabis 249 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: despite massive over regulation over taxation. I mean, what are 250 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: you're saying is that, like it's not easy to sell 251 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: legal weed. You know, you guys know you can go 252 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: buy an eighth and weed on the street for like 253 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: thirty five bucks forty forty bucks and get some fire. 254 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: But you go to go into a dispensary, it's like 255 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: seventy bucks for taxes. And so what they're saying is that, 256 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: like the federal government has not even legalized it yet 257 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: in the states that have have done such a poor 258 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: job and like making it fair for the consumers and 259 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: making it fair for the operators where no one's making money, 260 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: people are blowing money. It just doesn't really make sense 261 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: right now. So I think he was, uh, and I 262 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: think they were kind of impressed by what we've been 263 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: able to do with that scenario, because it's not it's 264 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: not easy, super tough, you said, the actual wheat industry, 265 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: it is hard to make money in though, right absolutely that, 266 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: I mean just the way it set up, like laws 267 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: like too eighty doesn't allow you to write off your 268 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: employees or your costs of operations. So think about that 269 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: your business. But you can't write off your costs to operate, Like, 270 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: how is that even fair to anyone? Right? And it's 271 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: hard too because, like I said, there's a thirty percent 272 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: tax on herb Like if you go buy ads, you're 273 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: paying like almost thirty percent tax just to buy that product. 274 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: When you look at food and bever just like what 275 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: like eight percent or something like that. So what's what's 276 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: the big what's the big margin for Why are you 277 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: taking thirty percent? And what are you actually doing with 278 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: that thirty percent? Are you giving it back to social equity? No? 279 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: Are you giving it back to people affected by the 280 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: drug war? No? So now you guys are just being 281 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: greedy for no reason. They said, another hurdles cultivation, right, Yeah, 282 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: you can explain what that is. It's just hard to 283 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: deal with a living plan. Like you're done with the 284 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: living plants, so you gotta wear house for Louis. You 285 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: think you think you know everything. I mean, there could 286 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: be all kind of hurdles from you know, mold to 287 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: insects and you know you can burn the plants by 288 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: the lights or you know, have your pH often, so 289 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: it's just tough to grow weed that you're dealing with 290 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: the living plan when you try to replicate what you're 291 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: doing in California and other markets, it gets even harder 292 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: because of environment and ship like that. And there's a 293 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: lot of rappers inspired marijuana brands on the market right now. 294 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: But how and Wise Cookie has been able to separate 295 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: themselves from the pack because I've been selling weed and 296 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: and I've been the weed man for like, you know, forever, yeah, 297 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: for twenty years before I've been doing it illegally for 298 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: twenty years, so let's just call it twenty six years. 299 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: I've been selling weed and so people people know me 300 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: for that.

Yeah, with the diamond life of Supreme, 331 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: like he was competing and I was clowned on at first. 332 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: At first they were telling me like, man, it's just 333 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: a weed brand. He's not this, he's not that, And 334 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: so I felt like the extra underdog, you know. Motivation. 335 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh yeah, let me pop off my ship. 336 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: But the clothing. To have that clothing brand in New 337 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: York City of that and have that presence of that magnitude, 338 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: it's a big statement. And the turnout turnout was a 339 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: huge statement too. I was nervous as hell, like people 340 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: in the line up for the clothes, because you know, 341 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: everywhere in New York to selling weak right now, so 342 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: people wanted to weed from us. So I was like, 343 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: are they actually gonna line up and support just just 344 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: the clothing or are they going to be upset we're 345 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: not selling weed. They weren't. What does that connection to 346 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: your consumers? Like? They they're very vigilant about it, right, 347 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: They really repped the pride, pride of the brand of it. 348 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: They line up for it. Like, what do you think 349 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: it is that you keep them engaged and connected to 350 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: this thing? It's because I engaged with them and they've 351 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: they witnessed me build the same brick by a break 352 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: from the ground up and kind of like the working 353 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: man's hero almost because I've opened up a lot, like 354 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: I've shared my journey, like from the cancer ship, you know, 355 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: with my daughter, Like I just I share a lot 356 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: about my life and stuff that people can relate to. 357 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: A lot of rappers these days are in constant character. 358 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: They're they're in character, They're not really not. I let 359 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: people see me as me, you know, and I think 360 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: that it really resonates with them and it's relatable, and 361 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: I think that's why they support the funk out what 362 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: we do. Got the clothing, we got the marijuana. Also 363 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: heard you coming up with a T so yeah what county? 364 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: Oh like a beverage Yeah yeah, California ed Ta. Yeah 365 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: that sounds refreshing. I mean, hey, you know Arizona, I 366 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: see was a favorite, but I'm from Cali, you know, 367 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: so California is T will be medicated medicated beverage line 368 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: as well as like a non medicating just a good chuckle, 369 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: but beverage. You can in clientele from all over man. Also, 370 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: on the Gutty Project, you told about how the government 371 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: is your biggest client. Oh yeah, I was just kind 372 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: of flexing, like you know, like a lot of drug 373 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: dealer rappers they just talked ship. That's not really So 374 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: it was cool to me that like government officials from 375 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: Canada got on a zoom with me and asked me 376 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: how to sell more legal weed. And we're selling a 377 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: lot of weed in Canada at the time. They were 378 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 1: blown away that, like, in six minutes we sold like 379 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: a crazy amount of herb online. So the way it 380 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: works in Canada is that they'll release your menu to everyone, 381 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: all the buyers online, and then they buy what they want. 382 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: And so when we dropped, our ship was like gone, 383 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: and so I was like, man like, they were so 384 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: amazed by how much we we sold and how fast 385 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: we sold it um and then you know, from Canada 386 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: you'll send like two thousand pounds to Germany and stuff 387 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: like that on a plane. And for like someone from 388 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: the street, that's the most amazing ship ever to hear 389 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: that and to know that that's happening, that they're loading 390 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: up like planes with weed and sending it to other countries. So, 391 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, to get on the call with the government 392 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: was cool, as I was like, I wish the US 393 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: government was asking me how to sell would be a 394 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: lot cooler, but Canada, you know, they just wanted that 395 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: good marketing advice and how to get how do you 396 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: get legacy players to like advocate more for the legal side, 397 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: And I was just giving them a game on that 398 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: and I thought that was really cool. Do you feel 399 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: like things are changing? Yeah, I've seen I've seen the 400 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: news last night, like Missouri legalized, um, Maryland legalized. It's 401 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: going to happen. I think the federal government is just 402 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: kind of waiting to figure out how they're going to 403 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: make their money and control this as much as possible 404 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: because it's something that people transdiously grew on their own, 405 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: and like it's like it's such an underground scene that 406 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: they're just not really knowledgeable about. They're just trying to 407 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: figure out how to sink their teeth into everything all 408 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: the way. So, but it's changing, it's definitely changing, absolutely, 409 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: And even though cookies are doing well, your music is 410 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: still your passion though, right, it's therapy, right. Yeah. You 411 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: got this new double album FU the double album? Yeah, yeah, 412 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: yeah records okay, see to sell yeah yeah, this seven album, yeah, 413 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: forty seven like a motherfucker. But if you know what's 414 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: cool about it, like it's almost like a journal too, 415 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: because when you just referenced Canada's like that's what was 416 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: happening right there, Like on that record, like before before 417 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: I brought the NAS, I was in the room. I 418 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: just got off face time with the government, right and 419 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 1: I just went in there and boom lay that verse 420 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: and it was just what was really happening, right And 421 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: so like you listen to Gotti, you know, I recorded 422 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: that during before my cancer battle. So I tried to 423 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: get the craziest lineup of artists possible and there was 424 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: very feature heavy. Yeah, and it was A and R 425 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 1: Like it was A and R like a fucking pro. 426 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: Like you listen to some of them records on God, 427 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: He's like, wow, how y'all pull this ship off? Right? 428 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: But we're with from C to sales. I just beat 429 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: the cancer situation. I wanted to kind of ball haul 430 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: a little bit, kind of like double down, Like, look, 431 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: I've been doing this for X amount of years. My 432 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: my success is only climbed and never like really dropped. 433 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: I never had the pressure of being on the radio 434 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: or being like a mainstream artist. So I was like, 435 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: let me just do for my fans what they want 436 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: to hear, which is like just like you know, my 437 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: myself on a lot of these records and just kind 438 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: of like the beats I I really funk with and 439 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: ship like that, I didn't really feel the pressure like 440 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: I felt on Gaudi felt pressure. I was like, oh 441 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: I might die. I gotta make the sickest album without 442 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: trying to like sound commercial and wrap like other cats, 443 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: like how do I do that? And so this one 444 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: I was like I could just do my thing, you know. 445 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: So it was just like a brother of fresh air. 446 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: You put out a project every year since damn yeah, 447 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: probably multiple. I remember in two thousands, like two thousand 448 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: nine or two thus eleven one of them. Here I 449 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: put out five and they all did really well for me. 450 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: But you know, music was kind of like a thing 451 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: I was just doing as a hobby.

It's the craziest thing, 458 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: Like I could survive all of my music, and that's 459 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: why I laughed like people, but rap checks are beautiful. 460 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: I own my whole catalog.

It's good having 495 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: like a cult following, and like owning your lane, like 496 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: I own my lane. I'm good with that. I don't 497 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: I don't want the pressure of having a big record 498 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: like that, even like when I send records a big artist, 499 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: like I'm not going to send it to him here, 500 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: and and I'm a rap on a beating like this 501 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 1: is gonna go to this person. I don't even want 502 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: the pressure having to follow him up doing that. I 503 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: think from from the sales, because we cover everything from 504 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: from from actual breeding to like you know, selections, to 505 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: growing the flower, holding the dispensaries, making the hash um. 506 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: Everything you can do from from seed to sale, we 507 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: actually do. We're fully integrated, you know, we we handle everything. 508 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: So I don't know what low temp means in the 509 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: sense I love the song, but yeah, low temp is like, 510 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: have you ever seen people take dabs? Remember when corrupt 511 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,479 Speaker 1: your brother took that dab and fell over? Remember you 512 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: ever seen that? So like there was a whole era 513 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: of like hot dabs where people will take a dab 514 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: and it's really hot. It's a temperature when you're smoking hash. 515 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: So before you guys came here, I was smoking a 516 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: bunch of hashdown stairs and we're hitting. Yeah, that's why 517 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: I haven't even picked up. I'm loaded right now, really 518 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: loaded right now. But you know, the low temp allows 519 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: for better taste and better experience, and you don't have 520 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: to coughe your lungs out like I'm gonna grown ass man, 521 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: I have to prove nothing to nobody, Like all those 522 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: big hot rips that everyone's choking and blown out. How 523 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: to smoke like, I don't have to do that, taste 524 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: that like a player. And it released with this project. 525 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 1: It was with a stream, right, the booty stream from 526 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: Yeah Yeah. So no one's ever released a body of 527 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: music with genetics right, and so my goal was to 528 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 1: give people exclusive, one time released genetics right. And that 529 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: that the reason why I actually turned out to be 530 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: a duble. We were waiting for the Seed project to 531 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: be done. It takes multiple years to breathe something right, 532 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: to do it right, and it took a little longer inspector, 533 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: so I had a little extra time. That's why I 534 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: added so many records. But we released the album with 535 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: the pack of seeds. So my fans that bought the 536 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: pack of seeds are in a private discord room with me, 537 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: and as they pop their seeds, they're gonna be able 538 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: to share their progress with me, let me see where 539 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: they find. And then the hold of private cannabis cut 540 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: for everyone that bought the seeds to see you know 541 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: who found the best variety from this from the Spheno hunt. 542 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 1: So it's a really interactive project with the music, Like, 543 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: besides the music, they're able to engage with me on 544 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: something that we all bond together, which is you know, 545 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: weed cultivation. So I thought I thought it was pretty 546 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: genius and it was kind of like similar to NIPS 547 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: Proud to Pay campaign, Like I don't really want to 548 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: get into like the numbers and stuff like that, but 549 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: that that project rand it up, and we rand it 550 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: up like that for sure. Even with the success that 551 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: you have in throughout this project, it seems like wow, 552 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: listening to you, feel like you're becoming more cynical of 553 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: people in business throughout this project, like like no more 554 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: deals something that people hurt you? Bert, who hurt you? 555 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: Who did you hurt? Man? That day? I was so 556 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: mad at. I was so mad at that day man, 557 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: Like I'm really a CEO for real, Like I really 558 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: actually deal with my company a hands on with employees, 559 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: with deal structures, with you know, business partners. I have 560 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: hundreds of business partners and I and you know, in 561 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: business it's cutthrow right, And so I feel like and 562 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: no more, no more deals is hell of funny because 563 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: I was just like, again, it's my journal. I was 564 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: like hung up with car. I was like, I'm cool 565 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: off all this ship. I'm good. No more deal. I'm 566 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: not doing no more deals. And it's funny even became 567 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: a song. It's I can't believe that we put that out, 568 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: but it's just it's what's happening. So I think I'm 569 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: just getting fed up with people's creed. Man, I've seen 570 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot of true colors and just getting the more 571 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: I grow, the more they come out. It was Alliance said, 572 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: Loyal's is the only thing you regret. Yeah, I mean 573 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: a lot of people we've been loyal to just switch up. 574 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: You know, that's in every industry that's a music, but 575 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: in cannabis it's like the new dot com. So everyone's 576 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: trying to rush to like the top. We know only 577 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: a few players will make it, and so we constantly 578 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: use our platform and elevate people to bring people into business, 579 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: to bring people into the market. Then they get a 580 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: little shine, a little juice, and they just act like 581 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: they're the biggest. They want to build around you instead 582 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: of building with you. And that shipped to me, especially 583 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: after the cancer ship has just played me out like 584 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I can't really see that no more. 585 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: Like I don't care. I'm comfortable where I'm out in life. 586 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable who I am as a businessman. I know 587 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna get done. But it sucks to try 588 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: to bring someone up with you and put them on 589 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: real game and spend time and energy with him, and 590 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: then they just try to build around you in a 591 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: very like, very spiteful way. It would think a motherfucking by, Bro, 592 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: I'll leave you for for the look, I'm gonna go 593 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: ahead and spend off and do this, but now they're 594 00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 1: trying to sink you and want to take you down. 595 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of sick of having my guard up. 596 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: It's like, I really want to live my whole life 597 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: with my guard up, but I want to I could 598 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: retire right now, but so addicted to working. So that's 599 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: why you're kind of hearing the music because that's what's 600 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: going on right now. It's my way eventing. That's why 601 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: I still make music. That's how you did tweets on 602 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: Holloway's the time to play ball boys. My mother raised 603 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: me right. I believe in Calma. My heart has always 604 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: been pure, and you stay the same. I was like, okay, nobody, Yeah, 605 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, I can't wait to just speak about predatory investment. Bro. 606 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: You know when when that when I'm able to open 607 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: my mouth and talk, I'm gonna talk to my ship, 608 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: but not only talk to them to educate people. I'm like, 609 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: this is how people try to really get you in business, 610 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: predatory investment. Yeah about us you interplated Tupac touched on 611 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: like two face to kind of folks. He said, investors 612 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: try to bring you down while you were sick. Is 613 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: that kind of alluding to what you're talking about? Yeah, 614 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: and I can't really talk about it, but just that 615 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: line right there, like picture having cancer, right and like 616 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: picture fighting for your life and you know, and still 617 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: running your company and someone just trying to take advantage 618 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: of that moment, right, Like, that's funked up. That's a 619 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: cold hearted motherfucker. And they're lucky that this is not 620 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, you know, because I'd probably be thinking 621 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: a lot different. But again, like that's therapy side of music. 622 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: And that's why I love my music, because it's real 623 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: and I'll be able to look back at it like 624 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: a journal one day and be like, yeah, during that time, 625 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: I was going to do that, but and the next 626 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: album you probably hear some major elevation and yeah, slid 627 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: right through that motherfucker real quick. Right, So, because it's 628 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: a lot of joys, like you know, cut through a 629 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: whole new Lands.

Man, it's a lot of people. 631 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: It's a lot of people roll. But you know, they 632 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: hear those albums too, and I get so mad because 633 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: it's very no one knows who it is or what 634 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: it is, but they know what the fun is. You know, 635 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: they know who the funk they are, and so it's difference. 636 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: It's like it's like you know when rap beef comes 637 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: out and someone drops, oh yeah, you gotta dude, like 638 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm doing that with you know, you know some whole 639 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: other level type dudes.

So when I got done with 784 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: the cancer treatment, they make you do a test every 785 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: three months, and it's a it's a blood test and 786 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: looks for a circulating tumor DNA. So basically, you know, 787 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: you take this test every three months and it tells 788 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: you whether there's some cancer stuff flowing around in your 789 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: body or not. And I told the homies that didn't 790 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: really quite understand. I was like, that's like if you 791 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: raw a dog the random chicken Vegas and you took 792 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: a test and you're you're waiting to get it back. 793 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: I gonna be a little nervous, right, Except this is 794 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: a lot realer. You know you had cancer.

So 817 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: if I was throwing up blood or my kidneys my 818 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: side heard or whatever and whatever the other Simpsons would 819 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: have been, it would have been staged for already, and 820 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: it's almost impossible to really fixed all the way I 821 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: did a random I was sitting there one day. I 822 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: was like, Man, I got bread, I got everything I 823 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: need in life. What is it that I'm missing right now? 824 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 1: I was like, probably get a private doctor, probably looking 825 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: to my health a little bit and make sure I'm cool, 826 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: because I want to be here for my kids, you 827 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And when I found this private doctor, um, 828 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: he offered a test um that just came out two 829 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: months prior, that test for fifty different types of cancer. 830 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: And I was like, sure, I'll take it, blood tests, whatever, 831 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: and he found it like that. So I think it 832 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: was one of the first people that that test actually saved. 833 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: And unfortunately I didn't really fit the demographic for their 834 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: target audience, UH to actually really get behind the real 835 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: campaign for that test. But I went on the radio 836 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: still and I told everyone about it. Was well, even 837 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: if you guys don't want to use me in the 838 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: platform you guys have, I'm fit to talk about this 839 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 1: ship and where I go, because yeah, because we should 840 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: know about this ship and we should be taking a ship. 841 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: It costs a thousand dollars to do that test. Motherfucker's 842 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: out here buying Gucci belts and going the club and ship. 843 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,399 Speaker 1: You might as well lit get this test because we've 844 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: been we've been getting played right. You don't know, nightmare 845 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: as you talk about that too, he said, like when 846 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: things change when you're closer to death, Like, what are 847 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: some of the things that you know change your perspective. Yeah, 848 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: like just not allowing negativity to really affect me, no more, 849 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: enjoying every single day as much as I can, enjoying 850 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: the family. Put in the family first, just like I 851 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: did with the forest cover. When they called, I was like, no, 852 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm chilling right now, Like I don't feel the pressure 853 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: I have to do that. Also, like picking your projects 854 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: a little more wiser, and you know, just kind of 855 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: like tying up the circle a little bit, and you know, 856 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: just just really understand, like, man, this ship is really precious. 857 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: You could change overnight. They could change again overnight, or 858 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: a change overnight. So we're blessed to be here, I 859 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: faced my biggest fear. I ain't really tripping no more. 860 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: Like I'm not scared to fly anymore. I used to 861 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: be scared as the fly, Yeah, and I used to 862 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: be really bad. And uh, the other day we had 863 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: probably the worst turbulence we had in years, and I 864 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: was sitting next to a therapist and We're just talking 865 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: about life and ship and seeing a little palms all 866 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: and sweating and ship. I was helping her out. You know, 867 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: we're blessed to even be here to feel this ship. 868 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, don't worry about it. 869 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: The food weeds worse than this, Like you know what 870 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I feel way less safe driving with 871 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: my assistant. We're good. We're good right now. So they 872 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: just really helped me. It's crazy he talked about being 873 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: afraid to fly because you talk about those trips on 874 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines. Man. See, now here's the thing. It was 875 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: weird because like when I was young, I wasn't scared 876 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: to fly, right, and I was flying doing my things 877 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: shout to Southwest. We was on the bird with things, right, 878 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: so I wasn't really scared to fly. But when I 879 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: started getting like face successful, Like when I had my 880 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: baby and I started getting face and I thought there 881 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 1: was this weird I thought, like I could get rich 882 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 1: one day. What if I dined in the plane. I don't, 883 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't get a chance to get rich. And it 884 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: was the weirdest fear ever. And you know that comes 885 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: to some other things too, like, Um, I had the 886 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: FEDS with me for a long time when I was 887 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: getting off the planes at L A x D. Yeah, 888 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: DA used to be waiting for me to go through 889 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,399 Speaker 1: my ship searched me, question me, asked me an hour 890 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: and a half questions make me miss my connecting flight. Um. 891 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 1: I went through a tropical tropical storm one time coming 892 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: from Jamaica that really scared the ship out me and 893 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: the stewardess gave me his anex. I think I asked her. 894 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 1: I said, I don't think I'm about to have a 895 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: heart attack on this bitch. I knee something and she 896 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: gave me something and I was all like out of 897 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: it when I got to play in the feeds and 898 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: pulled me when I got off to Jamaica flight. And 899 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: so I think my trauma from flying was like mixed 900 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 1: with the treblence but more about the experience with the 901 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: fucking fens that ship was whacked. It was like a 902 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: three year period. They're just fucking with me. Yeah, a 903 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: lot of people fucking with the weed. Man. It seems 904 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: like you're really concerned with this Fedanel crisis that's going 905 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 1: on right now. Man, you talk about it on pain 906 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: like fenels trying to kill us all. Yeah, you know. 907 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: Fenel was like, it's more for the people, like people 908 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: don't want to do like a adderall they bought on 909 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: the street, or people that want to do some coke 910 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: or do some blow that they bought her, people that 911 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: want to do like his. Like a lot of people 912 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: are doing drugs and don't know where the funk is 913 00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: coming from. And I feel like, you know, I want 914 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 1: to get conspiracy down, but I feel like there's some 915 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: group of people flooding our country with fenel on purpose. 916 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: And I'm just you know, I lost my cousin too, 917 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: I lost my little nephew to it. Rest in peace, 918 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: you know. So I've seen a lot of people close 919 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: to me starting to die from fentol and I think 920 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: it's some bullshit because none of them wanted to die, 921 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: and none of them wanted to do. Fanyl was just 922 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: and ship that they were taking. So I think that 923 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: there's um, there's an overproduction of fanol. It's coming into 924 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: the US. It's not the cartels. People are saying it's not. 925 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: The cartels are pissed. There's been messages out there saying 926 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: that if we find out who's lacing ship with fanol, 927 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: it's a rat for everyone because you're working with our business. 928 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,879 Speaker 1: Because people are scared to do drugs that which, hey, look, 929 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: drugs are bad. You shouldn't sniff or putting anything in 930 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: your mouth. Just stick with the mushies, stick with stick 931 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: with the earth. But for the people who do want 932 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: to party, because they've been doing it since before we 933 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: were here, they shouldn't have to worry about dying for 934 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: some fucking drug that's being made and sat here in purpose. 935 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 1: You do much making this album too, right, Yeah, mushrooms Now, 936 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: I can't do anything like that.

But me Eric 1296 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 1: about doing Bob, we were talking about doing something right 1297 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,840 Speaker 1: now and just on a just on a on a 1298 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 1: song you're talking about the Grateful Dad, But I do 1299 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 1: and burn like that's just a total different vibe that 1300 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 1: no one's ever gonna How would that even sound? How 1301 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 1: how would that record sound right now? Who knows? Hopefull 1302 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: you get a chance to hear that. Mother this just 1303 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 1: because I feel like you always talk about, you know, 1304 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 1: your passion as an artists, but you also have that 1305 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 1: sort of a and our side. I feel like that's 1306 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 1: really like also part of you. I'm gonna get into that, 1307 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: like if um, you know, when I decided to put 1308 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 1: down to the mic officially, which every artist says they're 1309 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,320 Speaker 1: gonna do it, never does it say that. But when 1310 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 1: I get bored of actually like putting full projects together, 1311 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 1: I really want to. I want to air on our 1312 00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 1: Mamzy album bad, real bad. I really want to get 1313 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,360 Speaker 1: with Massy and do a whole project. I want to 1314 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: an our Whiz album really bad, really bad. I can 1315 00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 1: see you do the Callet type ship. I guess you 1316 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 1: really just put artists together in different slots in the 1317 00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,800 Speaker 1: whole situation because we've been doing this so much. When 1318 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 1: you when you got forty seven bodies of music and 1319 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,080 Speaker 1: you have to fill in these gaps and you're doing 1320 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 1: group albums, you understand like, who would sound good on this? 1321 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,960 Speaker 1: Who wouldn't sound good on this What would be different 1322 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,640 Speaker 1: for this artist? Just if you take this artist like 1323 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 1: and put them on a sample beat, how would that 1324 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 1: sound like? When I took down South artists and put 1325 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: them on sample beats, it sounds so sick alone was 1326 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: ever doing that? There was all rapping on trap beats 1327 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 1: like that. So I feel like we we bring some 1328 00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 1: cool ship to the table. How do you look at 1329 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 1: the state outside of your music, the state of hip 1330 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 1: hop right now? Do you feel inspired the things that 1331 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 1: stand out to you? I feel like the biggest problem 1332 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 1: with hip hop is probably like how fast things move. 1333 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,640 Speaker 1: Like you drop something and it's cool for like three 1334 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 1: days and then people are just moving. So I was 1335 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,160 Speaker 1: saying it's lasted a little longer, but that's just you 1336 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 1: have the tap would change. I think the biggest problem 1337 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 1: with hip hop is to stream ship. They got paid 1338 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: more for that ship. It will make no sense that 1339 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 1: stream of ship don't make no sense business lass like 1340 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 1: they I missed the day is when I would go 1341 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,800 Speaker 1: to City Hall Records and drop off ten thousand physical 1342 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 1: albums and get paid five dollars the album and get 1343 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 1: my cash. Mis I'm miss cash every time I get 1344 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,960 Speaker 1: it out, played with it extra long. I just sit 1345 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 1: there with it. I'll pay with it, you know what 1346 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But how the treat you like a criminal 1347 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,920 Speaker 1: when you pull up with cash? Ye? People spent to 1348 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,600 Speaker 1: be tipped anymore like casts like its I'm just like 1349 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm old school. I keep it. I keep a little 1350 01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:24,919 Speaker 1: sticks and the back pocket for musical As you said 1351 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,680 Speaker 1: that also on Twitter, you said that you love that 1352 01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,880 Speaker 1: you never switch your style, your sound for new trends. 1353 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 1: That's the biggest flex. Yeah, I ain't doing that because 1354 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people do do that, especially like when 1355 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: you get when you get on a record with someone else, 1356 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 1: like people will switch their whole ship up just to 1357 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 1: try to please an artists not people want to hear 1358 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,840 Speaker 1: me from me right, And I've seen a lot of 1359 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 1: artists try a bunch of different things and get lost. 1360 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 1: And I think I blame that on the labels. A 1361 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,959 Speaker 1: label tell someone this ain't it. How are you gonna 1362 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 1: tell someone just went to spend all the time making 1363 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 1: some music, which is they're creative, right, they're creative process 1364 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 1: to make something that that's not it. I've never had 1365 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,160 Speaker 1: no one tell me that, So maybe I'm played myself. 1366 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't, But my my biggest flexes, I've stayed 1367 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: true to me. I've never switched up my style. I 1368 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 1: still wear baggy ass clothes. I still sag. I still 1369 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 1: don't give a funk, you know what I'm saying. Like 1370 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 1: I still wrapped away. I was coming into a little 1371 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,760 Speaker 1: smoother delivery and and the same same purpose behind every project. 1372 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,440 Speaker 1: That's why I love to sell. Even though you have 1373 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,640 Speaker 1: the chip on you showed up, which I enjoy. It 1374 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 1: has a real cool vibe to it, you know. Yeah, 1375 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 1: Because even I'm mad these guys in Player, we could 1376 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,120 Speaker 1: sit down and figure it out. What I'm saying don't 1377 01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 1: come from me. They expect me not to do nothing. 1378 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna talk to my ship like a player though, 1379 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: because I feel like when you're going to rant, nothing 1380 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,280 Speaker 1: really gets hurt. I agree. You can play as Cooks 1381 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,440 Speaker 1: and Orangees. That's the first song, and then you and 1382 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 1: Larry reunite for that sequel. Maybe were you at Larry 1383 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 1: come pull up to this is not? Yeah? Now, we 1384 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 1: we talked about doing something because when we dropped that, 1385 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 1: we didn't really get a chance of what happened? Was 1386 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 1: it COVID? It was COVID. It came out during it 1387 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 1: came out during COVID, so we didn't really get a 1388 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,919 Speaker 1: chance to do like a merch clap and a proper drop, 1389 01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 1: like we don't really run that bishop like we were 1390 01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,439 Speaker 1: supposed to. And we did it so fast. I think 1391 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 1: me and Larry talked about doing something else. Yeah, and 1392 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:10,480 Speaker 1: no notice before we get out of here. You know, 1393 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 1: we had seat the sale. Probably that that was guiding 1394 01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 1: he had what's up with the Mafia? Yeah, So I 1395 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 1: like to do if you look at my ship, I 1396 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 1: do my thing like in Trio. So I did be 1397 01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 1: like draw season one, Draw season to job season three, 1398 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 1: they'd be like, you know, l chivo la plaza and 1399 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,439 Speaker 1: what was the other one there was? There was another 1400 01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 1: one that was like themes on the Latin side, right, 1401 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 1: So with the Mafia series, it was it was Russ Buffalinoy, 1402 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 1: sister Roll and then Gotti and I ended Gotti. I 1403 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 1: ended the Mafia series like with the Best Way Possible. 1404 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,600 Speaker 1: Unreleased audio of John Gotti Senior that was unreleased that 1405 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 1: was from wire taps. So when I met John Jr. 1406 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 1: We just we hit it off. We became good friends, 1407 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,360 Speaker 1: and he told me for this album What would make 1408 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: this album special is me taking some wire taps to 1409 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 1: my father no one's ever heard, and let him kind 1410 01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,160 Speaker 1: of you know, be a part of the project, you know, 1411 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,320 Speaker 1: through interluding stuff like that. I was like, wow, So 1412 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,920 Speaker 1: he actually brought surveillance tapes and ship like that. We 1413 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 1: ripped the audio from that. So, um, that was like 1414 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 1: the strongest way to end the Mafia series. Now we're 1415 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 1: on the Weed series. You know, from C to sale. 1416 01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 1: You know what's gonna be the next one? Probably be 1417 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,640 Speaker 1: two more, you know what I'm saying. Probably me and 1418 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,400 Speaker 1: Be Real will come with one on some Weed ship. 1419 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I'll be like our fourth album together. Um. But yeah, 1420 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:23,560 Speaker 1: I like I like the trios. I like it's like 1421 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 1: some E. P M D type ship. Yeah, it's like run. 1422 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,920 Speaker 1: Now we're in the Mafia vibe.
