65
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,479

66
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: series of all times. I'm talking about You made people

67
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: listen to the whole ship. And it's like even artists

68
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: that we weren't necessarily all the way familiar with it,

69
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: that platform was so open with It's like it wasn't

70
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: the pressure of them being at the radio station having

71
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: to try freestyle and not fun up. It was like, damn,

72
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: run that ship back. But I didn't know, you know,

73
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. I've been telling I'd be

74
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: telling people sometimes because then you know, like the no

75
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: DJ versions became a thing and everything, and I've seen

76
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: people say that, you know, I want to hear like

77
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: the mixtape without the drops, and it's a couple of

78
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: mix tapes out there without the drops, but it's just

79
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: not the same feel like that, you don't want to

80
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: to trap a guy without me talking that ship on there,

81
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. Even for the for

Speaker 1: Niggers don't want them without the drops. Yes, they want

00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: in that class I'm talking about all the way back

00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: felt like, what's the two most slept on at the

96
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,240

00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: of them now, I'm not. Yeah, I'm saying that. It's

98
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: not like it wasn't that ground but the break the

99
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: artists to the next platform, I think. But they were

100
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: still two of the dopest one Motherfucker's slick Puller for

101
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: four Day was hard. Oh yeah, I was like, that

102
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: was my guy. I mean, if it wasn't for Tip, really,

103
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if Gangster Girls would be what it

104
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: was because you know, he was the like when me

105
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: and him was coming up, it was because of him

106
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: understanding and you know, ground hustle like getting it. So

107
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: we hooked up and did the first tape where it

108
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: was literally all tipped like that was like I was like, Okay,

109
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: finally here's somebody that I can make the type of

110
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: project I wanted to make with and we could, you know,

111
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: do this whole project together. Because everything pretty much followed that,

112
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So so what was your

113
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: what was your vision when you say, okay, whatever you

114
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: do and this was you was gonna do yo yo

115
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: yo stamp? What was the vision that you see, like,

116
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: I guess what I gotta do for these people? A

117
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: lot a lot of my vision was really just about

118
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: like it was about branding, to be honest, like even

119
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: when I was doing them early, like when I started

120
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: with the tape, So just even in my career, like

121
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: from early on I started, I always wanted to make

122
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: it seem like I watched how people uh respond to

123
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: DJ's or the music and things like that, and the

124
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: thing I always hated, like what listening to the radio

125
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: going to a party was like I don't want anybody

126
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: to leave here and just say, you know, the music

127
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: was good or the DJ on the radio is doing good,

128
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: Like no DJ Drama did his motherfucking thing. So even

129
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: when Gangster Girls, I was like, all right, if I

130
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: can make this brand strong, I can, I can kind

131
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: of create a platform for myself to even kind of

132
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: get on and everything. So, you know, on the early tapes,

133
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: like nobody knew what I looked like, and you know,

134
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: they just heard my voice, like people tell me all

135
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: the time, like we thought she was dark skinning. They

136
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: heard yeah, like this the girls. So then you know,

137
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: and then outside of that, it was just really going

138
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: against the grain. Like at the time, the way I

139
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: was doing my tapes and then the style that was

140
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: out people used to something like when I used to

141
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: like just hand to hand him ships and he was

142
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: just like, yo, when you when you're dealing with music

143
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: from the South, people that buy mixtapes, they don't want

144
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: to hear the talking like up North DJ's or new

145
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 1: ship or exclusives or freestyles and all that ship. And

146
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: I was like, man ship and me just go. So

147
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: I literally applied the format that people said it wasn't

148
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: gonna work, and you know, I started moving with niggas

149
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: like killing Mike, doing freestyles and bone crushing tip of

150
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: the time, and you know, just bringing new ship and

151
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: that ship was like it caught. So I was like, oh,

152
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm onting something here. That was crazy. Definitely like you're

153
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: talking on the mixtapes like you and uh I say

154
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: bigger ranking. Yeah, definitely a little nobody though, like you

155
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: know what, I want to get this, you know what?

156
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: I feel like you you were the one who kind

157
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: of like definitely started that. You know what, I'm not

158
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: going to allow they need to skip the song. Yeah,

159
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: for sure, I'm gonna bring I'm gonna play it. A

160
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: matter of fact, I'm gonna let you. I'll get to

161
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: the hook and get what I'm gonna do, bring that

162
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: bitch right neck and say another minute before you hear

163
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: the song, and I'm bringing this bitch back. And you're like,

164
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: you know what, read the book because this we listened

165
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: to a look, let's go. I would do all types

166
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: of crazy that I was just learning. I remember even

167
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: on Dedication to this is the part where I play

168
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: a song like no, it's too early for that and

169
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: make niggas go to another song and then come back

170
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: to that song, and I just was like at that point,

171
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: I was just showing my assid one thing. I feel like,

172
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: I yeah, I was sitting there listening like this, just

173
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: showing like that's how that's just the arrogance of where

174
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: I was with the ship at the time. Just do whatever,

175
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: Like definitely get your hand cup, because if it wasn't

176
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: for you, niggas wouldn't even play that ship man, it

177
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: would just listen to it was just it was just

178
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: sound like a regular mixtape that you emptied it up.

179
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: And I felt like like I remember before me mix tapes,

180
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Like there's always been DJs on mix tapes and you know,

181
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: shoutouts and saying things and everything. But I used to

182
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: listen to mix tapes and everybody like yo, shout the

183
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: one to fifth Street or so over here and all

184
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: that ship the full right you already you know that

185
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: kind of came from that horizon. Was like, all right,

186
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: if I start, you know, if I'm on on the

187
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: top of the music, how do I make it where

188
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 1: I'm really adding something. So I just started listening to

189
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: the music and then you know, saying flysh it. You know, um,

190
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: like every street they gain a wrapper, every wrapper in

191
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: the street nigger. But if you figure it out, you know,

192
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: like just flishing that people would add to that together.

193
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about real I'm talking about real

194
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: street niggas. Facts is how it came into just like that.

195
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: So you know, with that, I think that that's one

196
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: thing that people liked, and you know, once the tapes

197
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: will come and they understood like, oh we gotta get

198
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: drunk and talk that ship like it's just different. You

199
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: you originally from Philadelphia, did that mix tape influence? Like

200
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: you said, just having that background of being up north

201
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: right when you came down here, was it hard for

202
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: people to did you have any you know, resistance and

203
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: people excepting that type of you know, DJ and a

204
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: thousand percent. I mean I never, to be honest, I

205
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: never felt you know, Atlanta is the type of city

206
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: where it's just you know, anybody comes here and moves here.

207
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: You you understand the level of Southern hospitality of love.

208
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: So one thing I learned earlier on coming from Philly,

209
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: I always had gotten embraced or you know when I

210
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: you know, I moved here to go to Clark Atlanta.

211
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: So even in so even in my early years, you know,

212
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: I met people that were doing similar things that I

213
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: was doing, and you know, always offered the help of hands.

214
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: I was like, it's just just different from Philis. First

215
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: of all, we don't have as many outlets, and then

216
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a different energy in a city

217
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: where you don't you might not have a VIMR city

218
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: like Atlanta with you know, so many black people getting

219
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: so much money at a young ages and everything, so

220
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: that was different. But never like you know, I always

221
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: felt like, damn, it's really loved that I'm you know,

222
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm a kid from from out of town, even though

223
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: I had lived here for some time, but getting embraced

224
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: by the city, you know, bottom music and everything, so

225
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: really don't resist. The time it had if to say

226
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: anything was like with DJs that we were, you know,

227
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: in a competitive sport, but even that was you know,

228
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: that's that's just a competitive nature of it's I mean,

229
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying anything in the problem, it's competitive.

230
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna bust your so so okay, okay, cool,

231
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't take okay, let live now your DJ? Now,

232
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: can you break down the difference between a DJ they

233
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: just have a laptop and the ones they used to

234
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: scratch the ones that hosting on a weeks tape. What

235
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, yeah, it's a lot of different like

236
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: DJ and is like a tree with a lot of

237
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: branches like anything, especially like now all these years later

238
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: after literally you could pick up your computer and you

239
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, you could technically become a celebrity DJ if

240
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: you're not already haven't, I've been trying. That's that's all.

241
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: That's all it um. So yeah, I mean I just

242
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: look at it, like, you know, there's no rule book

243
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: to this ship, and I don't want to say if

244
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: somebody necessarily could push your button or call them not

245
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: a real DJ, I'll have you if you can rock

246
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: in front of a crowd of people, you know, you know,

247
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: I'll salute you. You know what I'm saying you, I'm glad.

248
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: I come from the era where I really had to

249
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: carry crates and I was the last thing in the club,

250
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: and like if you ain't had no real friends, you

251
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: had to carry all them because the ships as heavy

252
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: as a motherfucker. Like and we said, like to have

253
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: like five six, seven, eight nine. If you had your

254
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: whole record collection, you had a lot of crates. So

255
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, like this era of DJs a lot more women. Yeah,

256
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: you had to. You had to have an suv or

257
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: something with a trunk, a trunk in it or else

258
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting around. I remember when I first started

259
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: getting money, the first car I had was a Bend

260
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm never going back to suv.

261
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Is like because of that. But I came from the

262
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: era of carrying crates. But you know, people don't know

263
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: that ground because you can just come into the club

264
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: with the Louis Vaton book bagging. Yeah. Yeah, you have

265
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: any DJs who you had to carry the crate for

266
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: them that you get into the game that way. I

267
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: never technically carried any crates for anybody, but UM, I

268
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: had different DJs during my career that like definitely showed

269
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: me the way. When I was in Philly, it was

270
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: a DJ named Ghetto who was more like a scratch

271
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: type DJ. He used to win like d m c

272
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: s and everything because you know, I used to study

273
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: all the ship so I was into that just as much.

274
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: I was never that good. That's why I was focused

275
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: on the mixtape. But then it was a DJ, you know,

276
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: shout the DJ mars who like UM used to really

277
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: be moving around in Atlanta a lot. Yeah, Mars my guy.

278
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: So you know when Mars did the Super Friends and

279
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: you know in the early two thousand's, like he here,

280
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: he took us under his wing in some ways, and

281
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: I definitely learned some of the game from him and everything.

282
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: And I remember a time when I was I didn't

283
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: think anybody was gonna ever uh, correlate DJ drama to

284
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: me because I was like, that word is just too

285
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: popular of a word, other people using it, and nobody

286
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna think about me when they think of that. And

287
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: Mars was like, you don't change your name for nobody,

288
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: and then you know, I never forget that advice because

289
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: I did, and I was like, are you right? And

290
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: make make everybody come to you with their name, will

291
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: make another nagger changed his name. So so yeah, so

292
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: Mars was an early influence for me. Um d J

293
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: Shot Kim who who used to DJ for bau Wow.

294
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, I saw all these guys like when they

295
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: were like, you know, the top of the game, and

296
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, you know, just I was

297
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: still putting together CDs and the crib that I was

298
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: burning from Kinko. So so yeah, but I definitely would

299
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: salute Mars for you know, help help showing me the

300
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: way and things like that. What do you think is

301
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: the most impactful gangs to Grell of all of it,

302
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you had to pick them, not the

303
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: necessarily the best one, but the one that had the

304
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: biggest impact on the game. I think it's to my argument,

305
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: it's between Travi and Dedication to there you go. I

306
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: was about to say, like in Dedication is a series

307
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: as a whole, as another phenomenon, because it's literally six

308
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: seven of those, you know, compared to like Travis a

309
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: stands still. But to me, Dedication too is the best one.

310
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: And then like impact for why just like Traviic dodges that.

311
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean that should change my life, like that should

312
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: change the game, you know what I'm saying, Like look

313
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: at where we are now with the effects of Jeezy

314
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: and that influence at that time. But between them too,

315
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: like that ship, you know, can nobody fun with me?

316
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: Man's count that that Jez Trapper dad come about? Like

317
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: was that something that you orchestrated or did it kind

318
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: of you know a lot of things just kind of

319
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: come together, just you know about the university estate, well,

320
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: interestingly enough. I mean, I definitely think the universe played

321
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: a part. You know, I used to live in the

322
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: fourth Ward. Um. I used to live on Glenn Arvis,

323
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: which is right around the street. Yeah, right right around

324
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: the corner from Boulevard and everything. So when when Coach

325
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: coaches to live around the corner, that's how I met Coach.

326
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: He used to live right around the Coach street from me.

327
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: Shout to Coach k and um, you know he came

328
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: to me like you know, in the early days, he

329
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: was like, yo, I got this this new thing I'm

330
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: working with and they had just put a project out

331
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: call come shop with me. And you know, anybody from

332
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: that error will tell you the old jeezy come shop

333
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: with me. Vangs to ride around the city and everything.

334
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: So literally, uh, young used to come to my crib

335
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: before the gangster grills and I used to make them

336
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: show tapes. Um, when he's come to the full forward,

337
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: I used to just like put freestyles on their for him,

338
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: charging me a couple of dollars and boom boom, and

339
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: said that's how we first got introduced. And then he

340
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, he pretty much like like so not trapped Dot,

341
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: but the tape we did before that was called The

342
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: Streets Is Watching. That was our first tape. That was

343
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: really the first mix tape I ever got paid for.

344
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: They gave me like a thousand dollars at the time.

345
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: And like one thing about what about young is that

346
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: he always had a vision, like you know, he knew where,

347
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: like he had it laid out in the sense. And

348
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: I was like, you no doubt. I mean I I

349
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: don't think at the time, I can definitely meit, like

350
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: I never saw it becoming what it became. But you know,

351
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: gangster grills was already a brand emotion. He was like, yeah,

352
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you know how much the

353
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: streets fucking with you. So that we did the first

354
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: tape and then you know, like it just caught like that,

355
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Like I just started seeing the reaction. And my man

356
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: told me like early on, you know this is around

357
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: this is when t I is like on top of

358
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: the world, you know what I'm saying. And a man

359
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: walked up like, yo, that that JEZ tape you did,

360
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: that's the best gangster girls you ever did. I'm like

361
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: the new nigga like word and he was like, I'm

362
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: telling you. So then I started going on the road

363
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: with them, just doing the chipling certain days and seeing

364
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: a response and reaction from the tape and everything. So

365
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: by the time we got to Trap a Die where

366
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: we was about to do it, you could already you

367
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: could feel in a sense of the energy, especially obviously

368
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: in the city and everything. But when we did that tape,

369
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: like now, I didn't I didn't see it becoming that

370
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: like it was. It was life change and it was everything.

371
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: Every city I went to I used to be on

372
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 1: the road with Tip. I would hear that should come

373
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: out of every car, like you know, I think that,

374
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, just just to this day, my nag I

375
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: seen people all the time and tell me how many

376
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: years they did behind bars and what gangster girls meant

377
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: to them in there, and how they listen into him

378
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: and those tapes and everything like it just was. It

379
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: just was special, like and I believe in the universe

380
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: playing a role and a lot of those things, like

381
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, when the story is told like a nigger

382
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: from Philly literally helped change the sound and the movement

383
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: of Southern rap when it comes to you know, that

384
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: time in that place of um of of hip hop

385
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: and everything. So that's the universe point blank period, or

386
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: the fact that I lived around the corner from fucking

387
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: coach Kter even you know introduced you know, for him

388
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: to introduce me to the guy that you know, we're

389
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: gonna change each other's lives. Yeah got the game and

390
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: yeah sure and has been for some time, and you know,

391
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a good feeling to see people

392
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: you came in with like still doing their motherfucking things,

393
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you get to a

394
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: point where you got to the travel the Ganks to

395
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: Grill to travel out, Like did you at that point

396
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: did you say, all right, this is this is what

397
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: the move is the Gangster Grill series, Like what made

398
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: you say, you know, I'm gonna get this instead of

399
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: just going calling a different ship like you had the

400
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: streets watching before well, it was always still under the

401
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: Gangster Grills umbrella. But I knew by that time that

402
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: Gangster Grills was the thing that was going to take

403
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: me through there, like I had I was like, okay, yeah,

404
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm onto something with this ship. Like because before those tapes,

405
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: I was still there was basically regular compilations like mixtapes

406
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: with just you know, songs from everybody. So by the

407
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: time I started getting to that space where you know,

408
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, guys are coming in and we're doing whole projects.

Speaker 1: the brand, even when the direction I was going, I

460
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to. I never wanted to

461
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: necessarily be pigeonhole into that per se. So I remember

462
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: when I first did like a tape of like Farrell,

463
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: I did one with a little brother. Like I remember

464
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: people being like, they don't that's how are you gonna

465
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: do Againster Girls with a little brother? You know what

466
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But I was like, watch this and I

467
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: just I knew that, you know, the brand was where

468
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: I was being able to take it. So I think

469
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: I've stepped out enough with it that you ain't know.

470
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: It ain't about being I mean and the gangsters up

471
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: here clearly, so you know what I'm saying, because that

472
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: really I'm just thinking, oh campus, they could have been

473
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: Mr Bigs Gangster Grill. Some of my best ones is

474
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: like R and b Ones, the Jeremiah Late Nights Gangster

475
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: Grills fired, Chris brown Ship is fired, Like yeah, there's

476
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: some good ones with some that that don't even come

477
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: into form and me having to scream over you. You

478
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people might not notice, but

479
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: you're the first came and got you like, yeah, yeah,

480
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: I know. I don't don't even talk about over time

481
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: has passed. So what how did that happen? I mean,

482
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: was it because he was What was the reason behind that?

483
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: To be honest, I don't know if I ever found

484
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: out the real reason behind it. I mean, somebody, somebody

485
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: was in a position. There was m back in the

486
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: day when they would have like music stores and everything.

487
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: I think it was a peppermint was in uh in

488
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: the mall? What's the mall? And that's in to morrow?

489
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: Was the south what South Lake is out there? So

490
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: it used to be a chicken South Lake Mall that

491
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: used to have like one of them stands in the

492
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: middle where she used to sell mixtapes and everything, and

493
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I guess she was booming. So Peppermint called the cops

494
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: onner like yeo, so lady, I hear selling bootlegs or whatever.

495
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: So then when they came to her, she was like, no,

496
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: these not blueleggs, like this is good. I get these

497
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: from DJ Drama. So I guess they looked into it,

498
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: and then they stayed like they like went to my website.

499
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: They started doing some research and everything, and like you know,

500
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: I you know, at the time, I was like the

501
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: mixtape king. I was on top of the world. So

502
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: not a million years that I ever think about something

503
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: like that and that that was even possible, Like yeah,

504
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't like we was dabbling in the

505
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: other ship. And like, so, you know, one one faithful morning,

506
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: they just they came to the door with the m

507
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: sixteens and them guns drawn and the black tie holes

508
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: up on the on the porch with the helicopters outside.

509
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: My nigga for music, bro for music, not a not

510
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: a joint nothing, they told me. So then they told

511
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: me they was. They told me I was. They was

512
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: booking me for the Rico, so, you know the Rico.

513
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: They got me for the Rico. Bro. The next day,

514
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: when I got out and I was on the phone,

515
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: somebody was like, yeah, you check your bank account and

516
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: I was like, no, for what didn't check your bank account?

517
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: That ship said zero point zero zero. You know. Oh

518
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: they took everything until and that was the first time

519
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 1: I had ever seen no real money. So I used

520
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: to just look at that bitch every day, just look

521
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: at the numbers, just like this, and that ship said

522
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: zero point zero zero. I cried my little heart out,

523
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: but I still and the scheme of things, you know,

524
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like, you know, it made me

525
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: more famous. Um, they put me in a sense of fastening.

526
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: I was already going, you know, it made me a

527
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: martyr to the game. And I just I just never

528
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: wanted to feel like, damn, I don't want this culture

529
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: that I grew up on, our love to die on

530
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: my shoulders, you know what I'm saying. So you know,

531
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: I just that was my thing, Like, Damn, I don't

532
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: want to I don't want mix tapes to die and

533
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: to be my fault, you know what I'm saying. So,

534
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: but it was a hell of a time. It was

535
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: a hell of a situation. But you know now, I

536
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: mean it's for for some things that literally, like we're

537
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: talking about like that that is the name of the game, now,

538
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like everything we're doing was

539
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: literally what we have been doing it at times. And

540
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: the law that they actually got me on was some

541
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: ship they called the True Name law. What they said,

542
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: if you make a CD, you have to put an

543
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: address on the back of it. So remember how the

544
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: mix tapes used to be. It was a black the case,

545
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: so it wasn't no back, So that's what they technically.

546
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: So how did you bounce back from that? Like you

547
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: go from being on top of the world looking at

548
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: the numbers every day and then your ship is I

549
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: mean I was still you know, my my my ship

550
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: was in the red, but I still was who I was,

551
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: so and then you know it was like I still

552
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: it garnished me a lot more attention, Like they put

553
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: me on the cover of Billboard after that situation. So

554
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: it was like a newfound fame in a lot of ways.

555
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: And I had I had yet to put out my

556
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: first album on Atlantic. I was about to put my

557
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: debut album out, so you know, Atlantic was hype at

558
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: the time, like you can't pay for this publicity, like

559
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: let's let's let's use this yeah so out and came out. Yeah,

560
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: so that's how they came and then you know so

561
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: so yeah and never you know, even when I would

562
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: do interviews, I remember thinking like this is only a chapter.

563
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: Like everybody who goes through anything faces adversity, so it's nothing.

564
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: You overcame that that and seeing what it did for

565
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: the culture, do you feel like like, I don't know,

566
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: like it could have like you were chosen for that

567
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: to push this forward or for what um or a

568
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: victim of whatever they thought I'd like to I mean,

569
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, I my glasses always have full, so you know,

570
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: if I if I had to be the one for that,

571
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: like I guess I'm thankful for that because of my

572
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: outlook and never knowing that you know, we're gonna rose

573
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: from this like this this ain't nothing, you know what

574
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so um so yeah, you know what I mean.

575
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I love this ship like I love

576
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: it so for me to be here and think back

577
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 1: about that and think about like, you know, it's it's

578
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: a whole it's a whole part of people who might

579
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: know me and never even knew that should happen. But say,

580
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: and that's just it. Yeah, you know, that's just a

581
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: that's to me, that's a pat on the back of

582
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: the things I've accomplished. Ston you know what I'm saying.

583
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: So you know, I look at it like that. You know,

584
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: I put I put everything in um in context album.

585
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: How does that work? Like I always see the DJ

586
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: you DJ khalis like, and you have all these artists

587
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: or the album, and I'm thinking, this ship got to

588
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: call so much money to make because you've got all nations.

589
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: Is the budget bigger for a DJ album or do

590
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: you just basically it's all that's a phone call. It's

591
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: it's if you were to pay everything based upon what

592
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: the DJ album would cost, that ship with trillion dollar

593
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: it gotta be. But I think about my albums and

594
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: the names on that, so yeah, a lot of it

595
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 1: is based on relationships. I mean there's definitely money involved,

596
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: but you know, my budgets have been fair. They ain't

597
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: been like overly over the top. But when you do

598
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: an album, I get that to that extent, you know,

599
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: labels or whoever, whoever your business partners is. No, you're

600
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to call it some favorites because that's it.

601
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: That's just a pretty penny you feel. I'm saying so.

602
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: But you know, you know, I've been blessed to work

603
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: with the greats and some motherfucker to say I got

604
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: saw this on my album? Hey, out of your whole

605
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: catalog all this, you know music, you've been a part of.

606
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: What was the one in your catalog? There was like

607
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: the sleeper that did take off immediately that people can

608
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: kind of had to go back and get m That's

609
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: a good question. Um damn, that's a good question. Um

610
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: oh no, I think about that, trying to think if

611
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: it's a tape or I mean that are my Late

612
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: Nights mixtape is still pretty fucking fire. I feel like

613
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: it's a little underrated one to this day. I mean,

614
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: but you know, honestly, I technically in a sense feel

615
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: like that with every artist that is that's signed to

616
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: me or comes from me, because you know, I'm all

617
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things about being in business

618
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: with me or being a part of my label is

619
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna promote the shift out of my niggas. So

620
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, I've I can look at pictures and look

621
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: at times when i've you know, now they're fucking some

622
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: of the biggest in the world, but you know when

623
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: I was pretty much close on them and nobody knew

624
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: who they were per se, So I guess, you know everything,

625
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm a part of my label in a sense. I

626
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: don't want to say it slept on, but you know

627
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: I catch it from her early point and then just

628
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: to watch from you know, those days to where it's become.

629
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: You know, I think just today, like Oozy tweeted, um

630
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: uh jay Z said, he's like Prince so now they're

631
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna call him the new little Prints and the nigga

632
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: is like he's different. You see that when you first not,

633
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: I didn't see this, like I didn't like he was

634
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: always very confident and always had a vision and the pact.

635
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody can see this though, like

636
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: to this, like you think it's the fucking Allien, Like

637
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: he's he's another planet, you know what I'm saying. So

638
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: I'd be lying. I'd be lying to sit here and

639
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: say that I saw that. But you know, we knew

640
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: man it is, but like being from Philadelphia and it

641
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: was he being from Philly, Like, did you ever feel

642
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: like being as though you came to Atlanta, like I

643
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: got a responsibility to go back home and get some

644
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: money now because I didn't did all my work down

645
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: here that was over to the city. Yeah, for sure,

646
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: And I did. I feel like I did that through

647
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: the years. And one thing about Philly is like nigga

648
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: still be like NA, what if you've done recently though,

649
00:33:54,400 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: like you know, it's just man, come on. Um. So yeah,

650
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 1: I mean I I felt that through through a lot

651
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: of times in my career. But you know, obviously for

652
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: me and Cannon, like you know, having Oozy as an

653
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: artist and then you know, coming out of the gate

654
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: with it and his success and him being from the

655
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: from the career like yet I was special. Yeah, that

656
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: ship was special. What's what's making your fastest turn around

657
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: on the mixtape? Um? As far as putting it together

658
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: and started to finish. Um oh, that's a good question.

659
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: Show I was when I used to have to do

660
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: dedication my I was, um, I think like I didn't

661
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of time, like I think the the

662
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: the the deadline was in a couple of ways or something.

663
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: The first one hasn't been an artist that requested you

664
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: be in the studio the whole thing they're doing this ship,

665
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: they asked for that, but I don't do that. You

666
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: got to be here. I need you. So you listen

667
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: to the song all the time, the whole back and

668
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: forth going to the songs. I listened to him, and

669
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: I think about what I'm gonna say. You don't think

670
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: it's a better I mean, why not be there? Though?

671
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: Does that not help the process if you did? When

672
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't mind being on because I've had some fly

673
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: ship come out and sometimes when I was there, because

674
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: I remember what we did when me and me did

675
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: dream Chasers too wanted us ready and not now. I

676
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: had some fly shit I had just read and Time

677
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: magazine or something. It was about sleep and the tables,

678
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: the dream chase, and so it was like perfect time.

679
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: And but so yeah, so there are some times where

680
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: some good ship comes out of that. I don't know.

681
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: I just like to be in my own zone pretty much.

682
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: How many times you had to do one would just

683
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: be like this ship horrible, But I got you ain't

684
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: got a name in the nigga you like, Ship, I

685
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: can't tell get on this. You know what it is.

686
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the best bullshit, No bullshit better than

687
00:35:54,640 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: this from one to ten trap some screat Ship. Yeah,

688
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: like I gotta yeah right, shoot down. That's the best

689
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: bullshit you've ever heard. Always they I'm like, oh, Ship,

690
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: it's worse than that. I got to hear that. Hilarious.

691
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: What do you say? Never mind what to say? Ship?

692
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: Play your phone? Yeah? Just let it run? Right, let

693
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: it run? That ever happened though you never had? Yeah.

694
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: I think I could count on two hands. I've probably

695
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: done five hundred thousand games. Agree probably come on two

696
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: hands at times after a thousand. So so how do

697
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: you got you? How do you do? It's like, how

698
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: do you spread it out? Because I know you have

699
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: an intro? You might see it go over every song.

700
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: Did you like, No, don't. I don't want to do that.

701
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't do any right. You had it, so you

702
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: do the intro. A little. As time went on and

703
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: the game change, I started going on less and less songs,

704
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: but definitely the intro. Definitely something at the end and

705
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: then where it fits accordingly. I never I don't be

706
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: wanting like I never want to be overbearing. I want

707
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: to I want to blend in with the music. You

708
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So yeah, yeah, that's that's important.

709
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: People said to me like, damn, I want to draw

00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: what do you have to hear to say that's it?

821
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: I feel like as much as I gotta trust my air,

822
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,879

825
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: know it all be Also it's ship that's if I

826
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: listened to it, I might say, like you know what,

827
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't really hear it. But I'm also forty two

828
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: going on forty three, like I'm not supposed to So

829
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: if that's not for my air, yeah, let's rock with that.

830
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: Let's see where that go. You see what I'm saying,

831
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: And like he said, I want he wanted. I wanted

832
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: to hear it again and like, get an understanding now,

833
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie said the ship I liked off Top,

834
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: There wasn't no he made the type of music I

835
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: listened to. But there's other artists that per se like

836
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: that are huge right now that I remember the first

837
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: time I heard it, I was like, but I was

838
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: I was open enough for myself to understand, like, you know, yeah, everybody,

839
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: That's what that was about. The ad was more important

840
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: the music that they're currently displaying or the star power

841
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: because something they might not be whether they need to

842
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: be musically, but they certified as star right Well, I

843
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: think that's interesting because what a star is now is

844
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: different from what it used to be, Like what we

845
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: think a star looks like or sounds like, or how

846
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: the star comes like comes in that form. So you

847
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: know that in the sense is that makes it different

848
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: when you hear people's music, because there's a lot of

849
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: musicians now in one or even the last couple of

850
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: years that people might not say look like a star

851
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: off top, you know what I mean, like or or

852
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: or just how they come in. So you know, the

853
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: music speaks volumes in a sense at itself, you know

854
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I mean look at our like

855
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: a CARDI for an example, Like you know, like from

856
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: from where she started as you know on Instagram and

857
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: her personality, like she had the personality of star period,

858
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: but it wasn't music wasn't attached to it. So in

859
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 1: her since you know that work where the star power

860
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: overpowered enough to where the music kind of caught up.

861
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: Per se it somebody you were missed on, somebody that

862
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: you heard him and had the opportunity to jump on.

863
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: It was like think won one, Um, I really wanted

864
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: to sign Tory Lanes and you know me and Tory

865
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: got a great relationship. Um, but it also don't know

866
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: if I feel like things work out how they're supposed

867
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: to work out. So so yeah, so you know that

868
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: was before we kind of had Generation Now kind of

869
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: moving and you know what I mean. So he worked

870
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: on I was supposed to Generation Now. What did that name?

871
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: That name was actually a mix tape that me and

872
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: Kenna came up with because we was doing the tape

873
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: with with this new guy that wasn't really gangster grillish,

874
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: but like he had some ship to him and he

875
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: was a producer and he gave me some drops to

876
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: host this tape. And then I was like, damn, like

877
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: we worked with this guy. It sat gangster as we

878
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: call it something else, and me and Kenna was like, damn,

879
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: So Kanye West is hosting the tape the New Nigger.

880
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: And then he was like, let's call a generation now.

881
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: So the first Generation Now has Kanye and Joe Button

882
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: on the cover. That was a mixtape we did in

883
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: like oh three or four. You just that Donna skip

884
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: over that ship, you know that generation The first Generation

885
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: now mixtape we ever did was hosted by by Yeah,

886
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: and this is like before college drop out and all

887
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: that ship, so that the name literally comes from his movement,

888
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: what he was, what I envisioned at the time, and

889
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, just Generation now, like this is what's what's

890
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: up next? Like this is right now. And then I

891
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: literally said, we sat on the name for years until

892
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: it's time to like start the label, and it was like,

893
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, Generation now, it's perfect for what we represent.

894
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: You lost a lot of music, right yeah at Tom's

895
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like when that ship when they happened, yeah,

896
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: hell yeah, So what was some of the ship that

897
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 1: you had that you that's gone in and win some

898
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: Wayne versus um Damn what songs. It was a couple

899
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: of songs. But on the other side, what I didn't

900
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: have at the time was the Outcast record. I have

901
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: been trying to get uh Andre to to funk with

902
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: me for like the last like seven eight months because

903
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: they agreed to do a song for me because we're

904
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 1: supposed to do a mixtape. Were supposed to Outcasts Gagster Grills,

905
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: and then they had they got kind of busy, but

906
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: they was like, yo, we'll give you a record for

Speaker 1: you know, they you know what I mean, They reached

952
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,480

959
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: they can do it over Jeez mix tapes. So every

960
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: time he and Jesz would do a tape. I was

961
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,520

1064
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: lot of this ship has come out to me is

1065
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's hip hop, like it ain't all It

1066
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: might not all be for my ear, but I get it,

1067
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I probably I probably

1068
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: listen to more young nigga ship than most people my

1069
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: age per se or I mean, I don't know what's

1070
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: in the music business. I feel like you have to.

1071
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: If you don't like this, just ain't this ain't it

1072
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: for you? Like hip hop is a young man sports.

1073
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: So it's just every general and every what you want

1074
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: to say generation and it's time when he's gonna look

1075
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: at all even with the time didn't is in that

1076
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: time right now, But we just gotta embrace it. A

1077
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand that. That's always been the

1078
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: point of you know, hip hop music. You don't you're

1079
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 1: not supposed to like the ship that your parents like.

1080
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: So if you're even if your parents like hip hop,

1081
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna like the same ship. But you know,

1082
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: that's like the blues to you know, I think that

1083
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: gap should be bridge like like what you said, the

1084
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: perspective you have is dope because the older people who

1085
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: have that music and the younger people, we had a

1086
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: more open minding, you know, the game would be open.

1087
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: Like I see all the rock and roll artists that

1088
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: can still go out and and sell out arenas, and

1089
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean to this day and they

1090
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: sixty seventy years old. But for something to be for

1091
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: a hip hop like they get your old ass all

1092
00:59:54,160 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: the things with your older everybody ain't the old I mean,

1093
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: like I think. And then in the same way with

1094
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: the older generation, would they say, man, nobody want to

1095
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: hear that shooting. Just said he's just moaning on the track.

1096
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,439
Speaker 1: That sh sounds stupid. Like if we could bridge that gap,

1097
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: like I think that you know that helped music last long.

1098
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: Agree we appreciate it. Appreciate I definitely agree to that

1099
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: that that rocking road bulletshit no I in the Monica

1100
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: and ship I ain't yelling. They hurt, screaming youth screaming

1101
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: this this ain't a ship. They they hate that they

1102
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: make the same type of music thingers make. They just

1103
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: just sound the same same concept. They got the stripped

1104
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: up music. Girls, girls girls, that's the ship pull or

1105
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: some shooting the only yeah, it want some of the

1106
01:00:54,480 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: that's the community and hard to be talking the same

1107
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: ship ramps talking. It's just in a whole difference. It's

1108
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: an up tempo. It's real fan slow down. You ever

1109
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: want to do a rock and roll I think I

Speaker 1: into if you could, like one that you haven't done

1115
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: that you think would be dope for you. Definitely in

1170
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: But it's like I was telling somebody even back in

1171
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 1: my Girl, I remember thinking, like, all right, you got here,

1174
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: just it's just like all the ships, right and some

1175
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: of the the real cop that how was? How did

1176
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: that work? I would let them rock. I didn't give

1177
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: a fuck because the more Bluelegs just meant the more

1178
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 1: people they want. More people wanted it. So for me

1179
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: it was like, man, the more of the merrier flood

1180
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: the streets with that ship. So I used to always

1181
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: anytime I used to see Bluelegs, I would get excited.

1182
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: I'll be hyped. Well, we'd be crazy to help and

1183
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: ask you, what advice would you give somebody who trying

1184
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: to get into the music business. I know a lot

1185
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: of people ask you young artists, and honestly, man, I

1186
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: didn't think. I think everybody should just trust the process,

1187
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, you know, we all

1188
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: stay the course. You gotta stay the course, and you

1189
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: gotta you know, if you're really love it and you're

1190
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: passionate about it, and you know, like you know, it's

1191
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: definitely important to have good people around you, you know.

1192
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: And when I say good, I don't want to put

1193
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: too much definition on that because good can come in

1194
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways, and you know what I'm saying.

1195
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: And and I just think it's important to have real

1196
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: people around you in some form of fast and nobody

1197
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: does it alone. You don't know that you're gonna have

1198
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: missteps and know you're gonna have ups and downs and everything.

1199
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: But I just think in today's day and time, like

1200
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: it's you know, there's so many different we have so

1201
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: abundance of so much, But it's also a blessing line.

1202
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: When I was coming up or a kid, I didn't

1203
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: all we had was the radio at ten o'clock, walking here,

1204
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: wrap Ship and Catch Rap City and your own TV wraps.

1205
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: Other than that, I just had to wait till the

1206
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: next time. Like we have everything. We have y'all, podcasts,

1207
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: we got other podcasts, we got you know, you're going YouTube,

1208
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: look up your favorite video. So with that being said,

1209
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's you know that there's no reason why, um,

1210
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: you can't create opportunities or find find creative ways and anything.
