Finally 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.040 we're here. Man. You had a pretty great pandemic. I 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.040 feel like your life changed during the pandemic a little bit, man, 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.960 A little bit, you know, just a lot of bit. Yeah, 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.440 I mean it was it was a you know, twenty 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:36.160 twenty was a very challenging but a very for your career, 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.680 for my career, Yeah, your career went up, for sure. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.359 And there's certain couple more listeners. Yeah, quite a few 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.480 more listeners. Yeah, I mean yeah, I feel like, you know, 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.080 some people like used the last couple of years to 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.000 like as really as like an excuse as to why 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.480 they're whatever the fuck down badge. I'm not even talking 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.840 about just musicians but just people in general. But like 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.040 a lot of people really like use it as quite 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.920 the opposite. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I felt like that was 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.720 like the year that everybody needed, like like the music 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.240 within itself and music was substance exactly because they were 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.880 listening at the CRIG correct or they were listening in 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.080 their car. They weren't standing on fucking man couches. There 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.359 wasn't nothing else to do but to listen to music. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.200 Exactly what's all cleared up? You know, nobody was on 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:28.120 the road. Six Flags shut down all the theme parks 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.200 and shut down you know for sure. That's why I 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.680 feel like guys like yourself, Like we saw a lot 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.240 of guys have like the best. The Griselda guys were 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.400 already popping, but they really went next level. Freddy and 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.800 Alfredo and uh even if you look at the Grammy nominations, right, 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.880 it was like a bunch of rap shit. It was 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.320 like Jay Electronica and d Smoke and exact Freddy Gibbs 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.000 and Royce exactly exactly. It was good for music, I think, Yeah, 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.760 I feel like we got a heavy outpour of like 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.880 real rap during that time. That just the amazing rap 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.520 I think was like probably up was one of my 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.360 favorite years in hip hop in recent memory as far 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.280 as just like the stuff I like, like, like just 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.200 the music that was released, just the quality was I 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.680 feel like on another level, I would say, so yeah, 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.920 it was up there. What part of LA are you from? 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:16.160 I'm from the Krenshaw District. Okay, you know, uh you 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.839 know near like Lamart Park like that around that area. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.240 Crenshawn King grew up born Race over there, went to 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.159 school over there Atabama Middle School, Dorsey High School. So 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.400 talk about like for you because you know, LA is 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.279 such an interesting place when we think of like the 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.600 biggest artists to come out of LA. Like you got 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.320 someone like Kendrick who is the biggest but also is 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.000 like not gang affiliated, you know, grew up in the neighborhood, 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.680 but like you know, it wasn't a part of that lifestyle. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.120 And then on the other on the flip side, you 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.040 got Snoop Dog who's probably the most famous rapper of 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.919 all time but just got done seawalking and throwing up 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.800 at the super Bowl. You know. I think like there's 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.440 always a stereotype about LA people when you don't live here, 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.479 that it's like all one thing and it's but it's 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.040 such a dynamic place, and I think that like what 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.360 what you're bringing to the table is like a very 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.520 like just a dope perspective on what it's like to 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.640 not be wrapped up in that lifestyle but still kind 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.599 of be from those areas, you know, definitely exactly. I think. Me, 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.400 my my thing has always been you know, just given 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.159 like a fly on a wall perspective because I know 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.520 a lot of guys from both sides, you know, and 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.640 you know, just having had watched it like from a 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:37.200 you know, like closely you know, but not being directly 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.320 in it and tied to it, you know, just gave 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:46.719 me the ability to give a different perspective, coming and 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.640 coming from you know, the Crenshaw district, so you know, uh, 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.680 you know, I know a lot of guys are familiar 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.720 with you know, Nipsey ice Que of course when they 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:01.559 hear South Central so and just the arena that these 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.440 guys were in, you know, gave the world I feel 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.520 like a perspective of what LA is coming from like 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.720 that area. But I feel like with me, you know, 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.760 it's it's it's being close to it but not being 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.160 in it, right, you know. So what do you think 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.480 is the biggest misconception about l A in general? I think, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.800 like living here for five or six years now, I 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.920 think it's like from my perspective, it's like people come 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.720 out here, but they don't really ever come to LA. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.719 They go to like the valley or they go to 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.760 Hollywood or and they think that's Las. Really the closest 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.400 part of LA they've been to is when they landed 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.719 exactly exactly. I think the biggest misconception is that everybody 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.640 in LA is fake. It's like, nah, man, you stay 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.880 north of the ten Freeway and like, you know, you 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.120 are on no disrespect on Fairfax all day, on Merrows 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.280 all day, and you know, it's kind of like, oh, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.400 go where the culture is, you know, go go where 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.440 you can get some good food that go you know, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.240 to her Oom right on Lamart Park, you know, where 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.719 you get a sense of like real community, you know. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.320 So I feel I personally feel like that's the biggest 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.080 misconception of LA. And a lot of times, honestly, it 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.320 be like people that will come here and adapt to 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.720 a mentality that they feel like they have to have 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.360 to live in LA and a lot of people, you know, 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.400 for the most part, you know, they meet people like 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.680 that and they feel like everybody in LA is like that, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.560 and that's not the things well, and most of the time, 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.000 because like there's been a few people that have gone 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.280 LA viral for talking shit about LA. Right yeah, R 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.200 and B singers. We won't get into the who's in 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.320 the weeds of it, right, But it's like people who 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.120 aren't even from here exactly, And it's like, obviously you're 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.080 probably mostly interacting with people who aren't from here as well, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.160 and or are very much like involved in the entertainment industry, 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.400 and unfortunately exactly in the entertainment industry. It just is 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.240 what it is. Most people are full of shit. It 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.600 that everywhere and no matter what you're a part of. Yeah, 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.200 but like I do feel like, particularly like I understand 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.080 how someone could be scorned by like their experience in 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.360 the music industry, but like just because someone lives here, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.520 like you know, they're it's not the same thing, correct, 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.160 And it's like, if you're not from here, shut the 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.640 fuck up. That's it. Like you're here, you're here, you're here, 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.160 you know you're taking the good right, you love the 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.920 like there's a reason why you're here, right exactly because 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.040 you kind of have to be here for your career. Correct. 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.000 So if you could get all that positive out of 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.920 Los Angeles but then want to go on Twitter and 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.280 ship on like fucking homeless people or you know, all 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.400 these little things, it's like, right, La is beautiful, doll man, 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.559 like it's so many different like nuances, Like no, La 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.120 is such a dynamic city. There's like, really, whatever you're 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.679 looking for, you get here. Yeah, exactly. And really if 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.200 you just if you want to drive within like three 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.200 hours of La, it's like really limitless. It's like you 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.280 could go to the fucking desert and trip on Shroon's 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.640 a Joshua Tree. You can go to Irvine and exactly exactly. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.000 It's it's it's so many different layers to the city. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.360 You know, like you said you want to go to 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.720 Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, Coachella, It's not too far from that. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.199 It's like its own little country, low key southern California. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.240 It's wild. Correct, you have a record. The one record 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:19.680 that I heard from me that really kind of like 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.760 grabbed me was the Heaven and Hennessy record, which I 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:26.400 felt like was like a super dope, vulnerable record. Is 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.240 it your biggest record on Spotify? I want to say so, yeah, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.400 that record. Uh. We don't get a lot of like 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.680 artists really kind of channeling what it like, what those 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.320 emotions are on songs where you really feeling. I guess 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.360 like where were you what place were you at in life? 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.240 When you when you wrote that and recorded it a 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.960 frustrated place, trying to figure life out, where I'm going, 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.040 where I'm heading, where I was, you know, and just 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.319 being stuck in between like a rock and a hard place, 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:01.560 not only in like my community, but but like in 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.720 my career, right, you know, like when am I gonna 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.040 get this like everything that I've been like being I 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.400 feel like I've been working towards and it's just like, damn, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.760 when am I gonna get this break? Like this big 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.320 break that us as artists always imagine that we're gonna 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.520 have and this, that and the third. And it was 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.800 just kind of like for me, I'm like, Okay, I 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.800 need to bear it all and I need to explain 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.640 where I'm at and how I feel, because I know 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.880 there are other people out there, whether you're whatever it 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.400 is or whatever industry that you work in, you know, 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.480 that feel like how I feel, you know. So it 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.480 was just really just getting that on record, you know. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:41.320 And man, everybody tells me all the time, like man 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.199 heaving a Hennessy, that's one of my favorite records. I 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.360 just did a pop up and somebody hit me. They 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.640 were like, Yo, can you guys play heaving a Hennessy, 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.600 I'm pulling up.

So when did things kind of 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.240 start to change for you in terms of like momentum 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.120 or like like, was it an opportunity? Was it a 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.720 certain moment where like things started to kind of like 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.360 some of those frustrations were like alleviated a little bit. 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.200 I want to say with the release to Save Yourself. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:12.520 Like with the release of Save Yourself, uh, because you 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.079 had all them playlists on lock Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.000 for artists with your following Yeah, I was like, yo, 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.240 they really got to fuck with him because we don't 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.920 see this a lot.

Yeah, No, it was honestly 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.480 just people just gravitating towards the music and just like 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.760 doing things and thinking outside the box during the pandemic 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.400 because we couldn't do shows, so, you know, me, myself 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.000 and my team, my manager Drew, we was just like 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.960 kind of just brainstorming, like how can we further you know, 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.920 our agenda being locked inside the house. So we came 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.520 up with the idea of like putting together like a 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.000 live series session. Those were dope. Were you back in 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:51.240 the backyard? Yeah, yeah, and you perform like we super 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:56.360 dope literally my camera dude mentality exactly.

And we just came 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.319 up with that and my he did the whole thing. 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.800 We did it in his backyard. You know, Wow, I 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.360 got a couch. I think that was actually my couch 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.960 from my house, but in the backyard, called up some 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:13.480 of the homies, you know, laid a yanky little rug 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.560 on the floor. That shit stood out to me because 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.480 I was like, man like you and the dude from 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.520 the Baylor Russell. I just love what y'all were doing 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.720 with like the online content, because I feel like we 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.760 always think, like, you know, one of the biggest excuses 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.000 the artist will have it is like I ain't got 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.800 money for a music video or you know, I don't 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.360 got a budget to do this this is and it's 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.240 like yo, really and you say you use the camera guy, 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:37.920 but like low key, really, if you have a fucking 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:42.200 iPhone and a real creative thought process, like you can 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:47.720 create some fire shit. Listen. It's so many I look 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.560 at how we used to live life before technology really 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.480 started booming, and I'm like, Dn, we're really privileged. You 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.240 can do whatever you want. If you don't know how 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.679 to do something, everything's Googler boo, and you could just 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.600 hit up YouTube learn how to play the piano, learn 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.599 how to learn how to do whatever. So it's not 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.800 just wild, that is true. Yeah. Yeah, YouTube is low 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.360 key made like cookbooks and like how two books, Like 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.000 I'm telling, I'm telling my wife was like telling me. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.480 She's like, I think I want to make a cookbook, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.280 And I'm like, why fucking start a YouTube?

Even like they got these Instagram chefs now 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.600 where it's like they show you how to cook in 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.000 like thirty seconds. I just was on a dude's page 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.280 today who went to McDonald's and he bought a filet 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.319 of fish and he took it home and he made 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.400 his own version of it. Oh my gosh, and it 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.199 looks so fire, I'm telling you. And I was like, damn, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.080 I like watched like four videos. Yeah, no, it's wild. Yeah, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.560 and he probably saved. Like even think about printing directions, 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.800 what you know, Like back then, it's like, yo, you 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.520 had to print out what was that map mat map 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.520 quest even before that, like when I was a little 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.480 kid and my fucking dad used to buy the map 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.360 book out of the fucking liquor store.

You know. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.120 You feel like the type of artist the Top Dog 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.440 would try to sign. Any discussions happened. I obviously got 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.640 the record with reason, the video reason. I've gotten that 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.200 a lot, man, and I really I respect, like honestly, 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:49.720 like when I really sat down and like was like, yo, 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.160 I want to do this music thing.

I said, somebody needs to 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.920 might need to make a documentary about that era. Yeah, 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.320 this is the blog La La Rap. It was a 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.520 show every week, you know, and I was going to 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.520 all of these You and I Yeah, yeah, yeah, you 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.400 and I.

But just like being in LA 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.760 at that time, that was like El Press shout out 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.360 to Press, that's that's that's my dog. Yeah. Like seeing 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.120 exactly like you know, El Press, and like seeing those 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.520 guys like really do it, how they do it?

I was and just 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.600 like just go to shows because before then I was 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.800 so trapped in like you know what I'm saying, just 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.280 going to work every day and like, you know, I 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:17.639 think my first taste of of life outside of my 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.760 neighborhood was, you know, when I started working at the Grove, 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.400 and you know, just like I think for me, everything 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.440 expanded for me at that time, even like my taste 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.159 of music and stuff like that. And I heared some 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.280 crazy I've liveder six years. I've never been to the 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.160 Beverly Center or the Growth really never.

Like yeah, 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.359 I don't know.

It's all. It's 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:36.640 all in the driving. You know. The driver was going. 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.879 He wasn't. He wasn't going like you know, like trance. 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.119 He wasn't on his transport vibes like where he was 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:44.239 that like a sketchy video to try to shoot, just 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:46.120 in terms of like hanging out the top of a car. 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:49.120 Nah man. It was honestly, it was just like yo, 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.520 we just pop out and just you know, okay what 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.800 we did? Go back down, get my presidential you know, 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:56.440 wave to the people, say hi, people are looking at you. Crazy? 0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.920 They were? They were they were they really were there 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:04.639 really were. And my camera guy he was like he 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:06.840 was just you know, he popped out too, a sense 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:09.440 of like yo, what what the fuck is going on? 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.280 Like what are you guys shooting? But you know it 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:14.680 was cool. I feel very comfortable. I was in my neighborhood, 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:18.280 and you know, I came up with the idea. I 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.200 was just like, you know, I thought I always thought 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.640 it would be cool to like do some shit like that. 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:27.639 Like I came out. It was like you know, we 0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:30.119 go on King Boulevard for like an hour. Shoot that 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:34.639 is that? Like what is your It's kind of like 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:36.560 like obviously this is that just a single? Or is 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:37.960 that going to be connected to a new body of 0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.080 work or what's what's next for you? It's a single. 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.439 It's a single that that is connected to a body 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.800 of work that you know, that's being put together right now, 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.800 that should be out very soon. So yeah, you know, 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:51.920 but I think for me, it's just just kind of 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.560 hitting people with like music, like you know what I'm saying. Yeah, 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.679 you can't let people unfortunately, man, unless you unless you're 0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:01.920 Kendrick or you're like the Weekend, or you can't really 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:04.600 like just sit on your hands for three years. Yeah. Man, 0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:07.680 look Roddy Rich couldn't even do it. Yeah, exactly. You know, 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:09.600 that's my dog. But like he I feel like he 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.320 waited too long, you know what I mean? Like, do 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:15.600 you like that project? His new album? Yeah? I wasn't 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:17.840 fond of it. Were I didn't think it was as 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.200 bad as everyone said it was, But I also didn't 0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.560 think it was good. And I'm a big fan of 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:27.719 him and his whole discography, and I just think sometimes 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:30.280 when you sit on shit too long, you start psyching 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:33.800 yourself out about it. Because I had heard stuff that 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:36.879 was supposed to be on a version of his second 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:41.280 album that wasn't on the album. At least from what 0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:44.720 I've heard, most of his album that we got was 0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:49.720 fairly recently recorded. So I think artists make a mistake 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:51.520 a lot of times. And I don't know, I'm not 0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:53.919 speaking on him in particular, but I just do. I 0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:56.840 do know that like whenever you're sitting on a song 0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.760 for too long, he becomes old to you, even if 0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:02.280 no one has heard it, that's true, and then you'll 0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:04.040 start to think that like the new ship you did 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:05.639 is better than the ship that you knew that you 0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:09.160 know was hard, and it's like it's just like especially now, man, 0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:11.800 I think people overthink their music. Like you'll just like 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:13.760 what you're like to just put some shit out, like 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:16.160 put it out, just put it out, put it out. 0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.200 The longer you say, it's just kind of like yeah, 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:22.280 and then like people most music that like like when 0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:24.000 I'm like like a lot of artists that I know, 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:26.760 I hear songs and I'm I'll talk to them three 0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.320 or four years like, yeah, whatever happened? To that fucking song, right, 0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.679 you know, man, it just got old, they got tired. 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.720 I'm like, bro, that shit was hard. Yeah yeah yeah. 0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:38.400 And I'm not a fan of like announcing like, oh yeah, 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.760 new music coming soon and then having people wait like 0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:44.320 two years or like right now. For me, if I'm like, yo, 0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:46.959 new music's coming soon, it's probably coming in. Like Roddy's 0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:50.200 got to drop asap now, like he's really got to 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:53.520 like ninety days and the next ninety days, we better 0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:55.960 get some of VMADI And I like him, and I like, 0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.280 I really like him. In mustards, oh yeah, they don't 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:03.719 miss Yeah, they late at night in fashion, come on. Yeah. 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:07.120 What I actually heard was a lot of the original 0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:09.160 project was supposed to be more like late at night. 0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:12.600 Oh word. So I don't know what happened. I think 0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:15.040 I think when you're someone like Roddy Rich, you're like 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:18.240 a pop star, you're like a superstar. And I think 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.520 that like this project, it felt to me like he 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.000 was trying to compete with like the little Babies and 0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:25.360 Dirks of the world as opposed to like the post 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:28.240 Malons of the world, if that makes sense. I'm like, Roddy, 0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.040 you're a stadium artist. Bro like right, and it's all 0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:33.840 you know, it's all a learning experience even for him 0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.000 for sure. Nah, for sure. And he's a great dude's 0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:39.959 and he's so talented. He's fine. Yeah, but I can 0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.520 only imagine, like mentally that she's got to take a 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:45.040 toll on you people talking about your art too much. Yeah, 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:47.160 for sure. I mean I was just talking to somebody 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.320 the other day. It's kind of like, you know, as 0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.600 an artist. You know, there's a level of bravery that 0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:55.600 goes into being an artist because you work on something 0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:58.679 so hard that you think every every song that you 0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:01.160 are preparing to put out, you feel like, okay, it's 0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:02.880 on the album for a reason, you must really fuck 0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:04.639 with it, right, And then you know, you put it 0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:06.720 out in hopes that people like it. You know, you 0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:12.200 put your workout, you know, just open to everybody. Everyone's 0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:15.200 everyone is ritic now, yeah, and everybody is a Twitter 0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:17.520 A and R. Everyone has access to tell you how 0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.000 they feel about your back in the day. They have 0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:23.000 to see with them all or something exactly exactly they exactly, 0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:25.240 they would have to you know, write fan mail or 0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:30.160 something like that. You know, So yeah, I definitely, yeah, 0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:33.920 I think he I think he'll be good. Uh. What 0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:35.720 about on this new project have you gotten do you 0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:40.119 have any features locked in? Yeah? Yes, yeah, we're working 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:42.400 on it. We're working on it, working on it. We're 0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:46.199 working on it. We're working on it. I take a guess, 0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:59.800 la Artists Yeah obviously yeah, hmm, buddy, can't confirm nor deny. 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:06.399 There it is with Rayvon too.

He's chill, he's super humble, and 0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:35.359 he's dope. He's he's really dope. I think t d 0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:39.120 definitely has gold on her hands. Oh with him, yeah, 0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.400 I think he's like to me, like when I think 0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:44.040 of t d E and like obviously Kendrick's on his 0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:48.120 last project. Sorry, uh. I think ray Von is the 0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:51.680 one guy that they have that's like young that can 0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:55.480 be like a super like a star. Right, he got 0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:59.560 star quality for sure? For sure? What about like just 0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:01.480 in Jen, Like, w how do you spend your free time? Man? 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:03.360 When you're not recording, when you're not making content, what 0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:05.480 are you doing? Man? I'm at the beach, bro, I'm 0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:07.479 telling you. That's why. I'm like, bro, La is just 0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:09.680 like you know, so you love the beach, Bro. I 0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:12.640 love the beach. I love going to Malibu. I love 0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:14.880 just like being out there and just like you know, 0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:18.440 just catching the vibe, just like you know. Just most 0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:20.880 people don't hang out at the beach from La. They don't. 0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.520 They don't. It's kind of crazy they don't. But I'm like, 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.000 I know you can take advantage of that. I'm like, 0:29:26.040 --> 0:29:29.920 you know how many people that live in Phoenix that 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.280 wish they all come here to fucking sit at the beach, 0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:34.200 you know what I'm saying. Most Yeah, it's crazy. Most 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.120 people who live here don't go to the fucking beach. 0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.479 It's not a thing, right. I think it's because it's 0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:42.440 a drive for the most part of you live over there, 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:44.920 but like most part, but it's it's a it's a drive, 0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:48.400 it is, but it's it's just like so relaxing, and 0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:51.400 sometimes like even when you're out that way, it doesn't 0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:54.719 even feel like you're in LA anymore for sure. That's facts. 0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:56.760 So it's just kind of like, you know, your favorite 0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.080 beach is Malibu. My favorite beach, I have a few 0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.560 I like no matter do or which is invallible, you know, 0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:05.800 and it's Malibu. Feels like you're somewhere else. It feels 0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:07.880 like you're somewhere else. Yeah, it really feels like you're 0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:11.480 like like you're in a different state or something telling you. 0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.960 I encourage everybody to, like, you know, just take advantage. 0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:17.880 If you live in LA and you paying for high 0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:20.840 ass rent, you gotta take advantage. You gotta take advantage 0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:23.480 of all the men rent in that crazy come on. 0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:26.600 So I'm just like, yo, dude, I just looked at 0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:28.720 Palm Springs for the first time this past weekend when 0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.480 my wife. I've driven through that bitch like one hundred 0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:35.080 and fifty times going to Phoenix, but like actually like 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:38.040 went to Palm Springs, had lunch and shit, and then 0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:41.720 we went to Joshua Tree and spent the night h 0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:44.600 rooms in the desert. It was amazing. But it's like 0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:46.720 I was just telling my wife the same shit. I'm like, man, 0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:49.480 this shit is kind of crazy, Like we don't ever 0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:51.280 come over here. It's two hours away. What the fuck 0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:54.640 are we doing? Like this shit is so like it's 0:30:54.680 --> 0:30:58.080 like a whole nother vibe, right man, you be taking 0:30:58.080 --> 0:31:00.400 trips cause I saw you a few days ago. Man, 0:31:00.440 --> 0:31:01.920 I don't know where I was in Palm Springs on 0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:06.360 a horse. Yeah, my wife wanted to ride a horse 0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:09.240 for her birthday, so I was fired. Was that your 0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:13.760 first time like writing no horse?

Let's get back to the interview. 0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:45.640 Is it like for you being like an artist who 0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:51.840 obviously you're very much yourself, You're very much you know, 0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:56.600 high on artistic integrity. Is it like kind of hard 0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:59.480 to be that artist in twenty twenty two, Like do 0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:03.720 you ever get it? You know, there's so many shortcuts 0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:07.680 to like I guess clout or going viral or just 0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:10.640 shit like that, Like like like, is it is it 0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.720 hard to stay focused on like your mission and making 0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:16.600 sure you don't kind of allow outside shit to kind 0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:19.520 of interfere on with the way you move right in 0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:23.919 this industry. For me, no, because I know I'm locked 0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:27.960 into a I'm locked in I'm locked in purpose, you know, 0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:30.960 just like my vision and my goal like what I 0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:34.080 you know, when the sauce had done, No, the work 0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:36.080 that I leave behind, or like my kids are going 0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:38.120 to listen to? Am I going to be proud of that? 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.319 You know? So for me, it's just like just just 0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:45.400 seeing and knowing that that's what keeps me tunnel vision. Like, 0:34:45.560 --> 0:34:47.400 you know, I don't let the trends of whatever is 0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:50.440 going on come in, you know, dilute whatever it is 0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:52.720 that I'm doing, you know, because a lot of stuff 0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:55.480 that's happening now, you know what I'm saying, a lot 0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:58.040 of it is fly by night shit. I'm saying is 0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:00.319 here to day is going tomorrow? Right? A lot of 0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:02.799 the stuff that was around three or four years ago, 0:35:03.120 --> 0:35:05.520 two years ago, two years ago. You know. So now 0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:08.760 now I think like when we think of like who's 0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:10.360 been at the top of the rap game for the 0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:14.200 last decade, it's three guys. It's Kendrick, Cohen, Drake, and 0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:19.359 like they're all incredibly just next level amazing at just 0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:23.200 rapping right exactly, and that should be that's proof. Like 0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.840 that's like like clear, they're like never good. It's like 0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.640 they're like I'm the present. Like it's like they're irrelevant 0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:30.560 no matter what. Same thing. Like, I mean, you could 0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:32.239 even go back further and say jay Z. You know, 0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:35.160 like Jay, if Jay puts the album out tomorrow, He's 0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:38.000 it's no one's going to be like, what the fuck 0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:39.880 is this? Out of here? Out of here, out of 0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:41.399 it to the point where it's just kind of like, 0:35:41.840 --> 0:35:45.160 you know, they've gained guys like Cole and you know, 0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:48.080 and they've kind of like dictated the market to where 0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:51.520 it's just like, Okay, I could just come out and 0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:53.800 just put out an album without a single or anything, 0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:56.120 and you know my fans are gonna love and eat 0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:58.600 it up, and you know they're gonna appreciate it, you know, 0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:03.160 and you know it it's yeah, that's that's what it is. 0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:06.440 But yeah, I think those three are like clear cut 0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:09.840 proof for sure you did some stuff with the Rams. 0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:11.880 I saw. Yeah. Now, are you like a O. G 0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:16.960 Rams fan? Honestly? For me, I'm just happy we got 0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:20.279 a team. Okay, I'm one of those. Were you a 0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:22.360 football fan prior to the Rams coming back to l A, 0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:24.879 I don't really, I see, I watched football every now 0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:27.799 and then. I'm not like I'm more basketball. Okay, Okay, 0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:30.960 that's you know, yeah, that's yeah. Shout out to the 0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:33.480 Lakers man. A lot of rings, A lot of rings, 0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:35.400 I will say that, a lot of rings. But rough 0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:37.799 right now, we gotta get it together. We gotta get 0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:40.359 it together. We gotta get it together, y'all. You know 0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:44.000 you guys unfortunately unfortunately put us put us out of 0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:46.920 our misery very early in the playoffs. Yeah, you know what, 0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:51.120 nothing was the same after Lebron taunted Jay Crowder on 0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:53.800 this when it was him and the drumming and drumming 0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:58.640 was taunting Jay Crowder. Nothing's been the same since then. 0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:01.520 But nothing made me happier. And seeing you know, Janni's 0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:03.520 like kind of like he killed it. No, he killed it. 0:37:03.600 --> 0:37:07.880 He killed us he did very epic way. Yeah, yeah, 0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:10.480 but nah, I think I think, I don't know, we 0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:12.880 just got to get it together. I feel like, you know, 0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:15.120 two teams that I feel like if we don't get 0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:18.000 it together and who will be a problem for us 0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:21.200 is Phoenix and go to State. I think there's I 0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:22.719 think those are the two teams in the West that 0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:28.440 like also low key if Paul George and Kawhi Leonard 0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:32.000 come back somehow in the last couple of weeks of 0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:34.440 the season where they can sneak into the play in 0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:36.359 and they come back in the playoffs, and I hate 0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:39.319 the Clippers and I hate I hate Kawhi Leonard, but 0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:45.040 they just got fucking Robert Covington. They just got Norman 0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:48.200 Powell from the Clippers. Bro, they could start four or 0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:52.080 five guys that can defend anyone. That's true, Yeah, but 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:55.560 the Clippers. Yeah, why you hat Kawhi? He'd be so quiet, man, 0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:58.600 Kawhi is a bitch. I didn't like what he did 0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:00.640 to Lebron, to be honest, I think he hold out. 0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:02.400 He kind of hold Lebron and held out on him. 0:38:02.400 --> 0:38:06.440 And then I'm a Lebron fan. Yeah, so like I'm 0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:09.640 a diehard Lebron fan, so like I've the Sons have 0:38:09.680 --> 0:38:11.560 been so, I mean, I'm a diehard Suns fan, but 0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:14.960 I've always been like, Okay, Lebron always played in the 0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:17.440 East and the Sun sucked, so I was always just 0:38:17.520 --> 0:38:20.919 rooting for Lebron or the Suns. Yeah, so fair enough. 0:38:21.080 --> 0:38:22.560 When he came to l A, I had a real 0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:27.200 serious conflict inside because I hate the Lakers, but I 0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:30.839 just love Lebron, so I really felt like, Kawhi, hold 0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:34.960 Lebron low key, damn. I mean. And then and then 0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:38.040 they had to just get all the scraps off the 0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:41.240 fucking off the they literally because all the free agents 0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:43.839 signed that year. Oh yeah, we were, so they were 0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:47.080 just grabbing whoever Avery fucking Bradley who I mean, obviously 0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:48.839 they got a ring so it didn't matter. But yeah, 0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:52.160 quiet to me is a very I just don't like 0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:53.560 the way he'd be moving. He's sitting up in the 0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:57.920 fucking owner. He's low key. It's the playoffs, so why 0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:00.480 are you sitting up? Go sit with your fucking inmates. 0:39:01.719 --> 0:39:05.319 That's hilarious. I like him on my team. So do 0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:11.360 you feel like he's top seventy five of all time? Uh? Probably? 0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:16.200 But fuck him. I don't know, man, I mean the 0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:20.480 fact that he came. I thought that was some of 0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:27.360 the most legendary shit to come to Toronto, Toronto year one. 0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:30.839 All this forgiving, No, I don't disagree. I mean, he's 0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:32.960 amazing if you look at his career stats, though they're 0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:35.360 extremely low compared to everyone else because of the amount 0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:36.640 of games. He hasn't played a lot of games because 0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:40.120 he's always injured. I think Kyrie Irving should have been 0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:43.440 Kyrie and Dwight should have been in the top seventy five. 0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:47.120 I could definitely agree with that. I had this argument 0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:49.360 with a friend as far as like Dwight goes, I 0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:51.680 do feel like he's had he ran. What do you 0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:54.080 like he went to the finals? He was like fucking 0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:55.799 I don't know how many defensive players of the year. 0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:57.160 He was the best center in the league for at 0:39:57.200 --> 0:40:00.239 least ten years. That's what I was. I think the whitest. 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.960 Don't forget people for sure, forget like how good he 0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:06.560 was because of like, you know whoever he you know, 0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:08.000 he kind of turned into a goof and a bad 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:11.680 teammate later on, But like dude, Dwight Howard was that motherfucker. Yeah, no, 0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:14.360 Dwight is definitely He's Hall of Fame for sure. I 0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:16.800 would put Kyrie in over Dame Lillard. To be honest, 0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:19.440 what does t mac fit in all of that? Because 0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:21.799 he got left out? I think I think T Mack 0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:25.719 just didn't have enough years. Like I think t Mac 0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:28.960 could have been like as like that all time great, 0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.200 but I just feel like injuries just kind of fucked 0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:35.440 him up, you know, Like I don't know, Yeah, I 0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:38.799 don't know. I think I think Kyrie Irving and I 0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:41.279 haven't liked Kyrie for some time, just like how he 0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:45.040 moves and shit, and I actually respect the way he's 0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:49.760 handling the vaccine thing. But uh, I think he's probably 0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:53.200 the most skilled player ever. Yeah. That motherfucker's like art. 0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:56.279 Like if you watch Kyrie Irving play basketball in slow motion, 0:40:56.520 --> 0:41:00.239 it is the most beautiful. It's like ballet, yeah, literally, 0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:04.200 like just like it's like he has like an invisible string. 0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:07.680 It's like the like the ball is his head. Yeah literally, 0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:10.839 it's like literally literally, and he's just like dribbling it's 0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:14.560 like you know, and I think he's to me at 0:41:14.560 --> 0:41:17.400 the rim. I think he's one of the best finishers 0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:20.279 and he won a fucking ring with Cleveland, and he 0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:23.960 won that ring. He sunned Steph Curry and hit that 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:29.279 shot like you saw it, you Bay Area fuck. They 0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.560 got that switched and he said, no, I want him. 0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:35.240 He stepped up. He wanted your God and Steph Curry's 0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:38.319 Oh I got this, didn't have it? Did? He stepped up? Man? 0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:40.160 He was picking on Steph the whole series. Because you're 0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.799 fucking sorry, I'm talking to my producer who's swinging off 0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:47.160 Steph Cury every it's Steph crazy. He's having one of 0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:54.640 the best. Who gives a fuck? Shut the fuck up? 0:41:55.280 --> 0:42:00.839 What the best basketball player ever? Relaxed, bro, he's got 0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:04.120 like four years left before, like he's a sixth band somewhere, 0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:07.320 chill out.

No, 0:42:11.800 --> 0:42:13.560 it's gonna be yoke at your EMBID and Beat is 0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:16.480 like you think, so are you serious? I mean, I'm 0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:18.359 a gambling man, so I look at the odds. It's 0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:20.880 gonna be yoke at your EMBIID stuff. Em Beat is 0:42:21.840 --> 0:42:27.480 all in. Steph is having a crazy mb fifty points 0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:30.080 in like twenty five minutes, like two weeks ago, Like, 0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:33.200 how do you like Harden over there? I don't know. 0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:36.040 I'm not sure hard in his I don't know what 0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:38.279 to think of James anymore. To be honest, nice guy, 0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:40.440 I'm cool with him, Like, I just don't know, Like, 0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:42.800 you know, I think he wants to executive produce rap albums, 0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:46.000 you know, if I'm being honest, I'm not sure he 0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:47.760 like wants to be the MVP of the NBA anymore. 0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:50.520 But he's back with Daryl Moury, so you know, I 0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:52.920 like embeat a lot, So I hope that they I 0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:56.560 hope it goes well. I really, uh, I can't stay. 0:42:56.560 --> 0:42:58.200 I don't funk with Katie because I met him and 0:42:58.200 --> 0:42:59.800 he was super nice, and I've been to his house, 0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:03.800 and yeah, I think Brooklyn is Brooklyn. Katie did some 0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:05.880 whole as shit when it went to Golden State. Damn. 0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:09.879 I mean, yeah, I wouldn't fucking with that. I definitely wasn't. 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:11.400 But then I met him and he was like the 0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:15.120 nicest guy, So I was like, ah, and I talked 0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:16.759 to him for like thirty minutes. I was like, God, 0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:18.640 damn it. I hope he doesn't check my Twitter for 0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:21.959 like four years. Top three greatest scorers of all time 0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:25.959 to me, KD for sure, he's in there. Definitely pure 0:43:26.040 --> 0:43:29.279 score like just hot take you ready for the hot take? 0:43:29.320 --> 0:43:36.160 What's the hot Katie over Kobe? When it's all said 0:43:36.200 --> 0:43:39.399 and done. See, you didn't even know if I could 0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:41.200 agree with that, But but you know what, I appreciate 0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:43.160 the fact that you did not shoot it down yep, 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:46.359 because you're an actual basketball fan. Right, Kobe's top ten 0:43:46.400 --> 0:43:48.560 all time. I love Kobe, But I think when it's 0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:52.279 all said and done, KT is gonna be like he's 0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:56.880 gonna be knocking on that like Larry Bird, like Magic Johnson. 0:43:56.880 --> 0:43:59.480 And we talking all like all around or are we 0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:01.200 talking about just like when we talk about just just 0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:04.600 career wise best No, no, no, not scoring, Okay, I 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:07.960 think the best scorer is low key James Harden in 0:44:08.000 --> 0:44:09.880 the NBA right now. I just think it lasts like 0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:12.840 twenty years. Who's been a better score like Harden. Literally 0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:16.880 the whole entire thing was Iso. The whole offense was 0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:20.400 just Iso changes fire. I like to change the NBA, 0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:22.960 Like they had to fix the free throw rule because 0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:28.279 of him, and and they had to change. They should 0:44:28.320 --> 0:44:30.279 have won two m vps. They had to change the 0:44:30.880 --> 0:44:34.799 fake jump into the person that's scoring. You might not 0:44:35.000 --> 0:44:39.319 like it. Man, he changed the NBA. He did. I 0:44:39.360 --> 0:44:45.319 mean I personally think that. I think Steph revolution you know. 0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:48.680 Steph changed like the way kids want to through three 0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:52.160 point shit is that's ridiculous. But there's like every every 0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:54.040 now and then you have just like you know, like 0:44:54.120 --> 0:44:56.600 Trey Young came out of like Steph Curry's nuts. Like 0:44:56.640 --> 0:44:59.120 without Steph Curry, Trey Young would be in the NBA definitely, 0:44:59.200 --> 0:45:01.080 I think because he would to play the way he played. 0:45:01.440 --> 0:45:04.000 I think like between like like yeah, every now and 0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:05.920 then you just have those players that they come in 0:45:06.000 --> 0:45:08.120 and just revolutionize the game, you know, step I'll give 0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:09.680 Steph that all day. As much as I think he's 0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:11.479 a little ship, I don't give him that. He's changed 0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:16.160 the NBA forever. And he's amazing. He's very good. Man. 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:19.319 Don't let don't let Golden State play Phoenix. Oh we're 0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:22.319 smoking him, man, I'm putting all my money on the Sun. 0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:26.120 Oh man, that's gonna be what are you talking about? 0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:29.200 I gotta see this. I want to see this. He 0:45:29.239 --> 0:45:31.719 don't even want that to happen because he knows when 0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:35.359 the Suns win. He's not built for this, for this smoke. Man. 0:45:35.440 --> 0:45:37.600 I just hope we win't. I hope we just get 0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:40.160 it together, figured it out. I got to get into playing, yeah, 0:45:40.200 --> 0:45:42.880 I know, man, just starting. Hey, I think the Lakers 0:45:42.920 --> 0:45:46.440 have to somehow convince Russell Westbrook to be a sixth man. 0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:49.080 If they can, if Kendrick Nunning not happening, If Kendrick 0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:52.279 Nunn comes back and starts at point guard, and you 0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:55.080 got the little white rookie hitting threes, what's his fucking name, 0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:59.920 Austin Reeves, He's got to stand in the ar fifteen 0:46:00.600 --> 0:46:05.320 best best fucking nickname since Kilinko ak forty seven exactly. 0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:08.360 He just stands in the corner, hit threes, Let Lebron 0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:10.399 facilitate le A do his thing, and then just bring 0:46:10.400 --> 0:46:13.799 in the Second Union and have Russ hold it down. Man, 0:46:13.840 --> 0:46:16.479 good luck. That's the problem. It's like, you know, because 0:46:16.480 --> 0:46:20.000 the matchine, dude, the Lakers would actually be good if 0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.319 they could convince Russell Westbrook to be a six man. 0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:25.080 A six man, what you bring your Russ off the 0:46:25.160 --> 0:46:28.920 bench against the Second Union? I mean I could, I 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:34.759 can see it. I don't think Russell can. No, I'm 0:46:34.800 --> 0:46:37.799 not you should start on other teams, yeah, but not 0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.040 on the Lakers. It just doesn't make sense. Obviously. It's 0:46:40.040 --> 0:46:42.319 a fucking mess. Man. I thought it was gonna be 0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:44.719 like one of those situations where, you know, I feel 0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:49.680 like everybody that plays with Lebron, uh, I feel like 0:46:49.760 --> 0:46:52.880 Lebron does make players better. You would hope that he 0:46:52.920 --> 0:46:56.279 would make Russell kind of kick back a little, back 0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:58.440 a little Yeah, that was my hope. At the end 0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:00.719 of those games, Russell Westbrook got the all so you know, 0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:05.480 the game's over, damn. Man. I thought, honestly, we were 0:47:05.560 --> 0:47:10.879 looking better with Malone, Peyton, Kobe and Shack than we 0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:14.280 are now currently. I mean that team went to the finals. 0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:17.640 They did, but to the Pistons exactly. But even then, 0:47:17.800 --> 0:47:19.759 but you went to the finals, we went, We went 0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:22.480 to the finals, right, and you know, even then, everybody 0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:24.640 was like, you know, it was kind of like, oh, yeah, 0:47:24.680 --> 0:47:27.640 that was a terrible season for us, blah blah. But 0:47:28.440 --> 0:47:30.680 you know, seeing the season that we haven't now like, 0:47:31.120 --> 0:47:32.960 we'll see what happens. I think if I think, I 0:47:33.000 --> 0:47:35.360 think if the Lakers make it into the playoffs, nobody 0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:37.080 wants to see them in the first round because you 0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:39.400 still got to play a d and Lebron James you 0:47:39.440 --> 0:47:41.640 got the Suns and you saw him in the first 0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:43.239 round last year and beat them and bounced. They ask 0:47:43.320 --> 0:47:48.120 anyway we'd like to see that's fair two years in 0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:50.839 a row bringing bring it, that's fair. That's for eighty eighty. 0:47:50.880 --> 0:47:55.319 Gotta stay healthy, that's he's the glass man man. So 0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:57.719 when when are we gonna get this project? Like? Uh, 0:47:57.920 --> 0:47:59.520 for first of all, how how close are you from 0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:03.799 being finished with your new album?
