So Killer Mike can't forget you, bro 42 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: without a doubt. Rick, Let's start with your business ventures. 43 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: You got you, You got a lot of irons in 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: the fire. You got wing stops. I think you have 45 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: over twenty five wing stops, checkers, you have your own 46 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: strand of marijuana cookies, Uh, you got the way of 47 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: the Waves or collab with d Wade? What made you 48 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: decide to get involved in so many different businesses basically 49 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: right away? Honestly because it felt natural to me. It 50 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: didn't really feel like no work. Right. If you notice 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: everything that I ventured with uh, I made a partnership 52 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: with it was something that came naturally to me or 53 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: something that I possibly was already doing, just wasn't doing 54 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: it the right way right in the first opportunity I got, 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: Why line myself up with some of the greatest in 56 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: the business. When you speak of cookies, cookies and Burner, 57 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: that's number one in the business. You speak of my 58 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: my sneaker partnership with d Wade, that's number one in 59 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: Miami and worldwide. But just d Wade when he brought 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: to my city worldwide is where as well as the 61 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: bad app, the Bumboo, rum My Jet Dot, the health app. 62 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: Everything that I'm doing is really coming natural to me, 63 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: So it's nothing I have to go out my way 64 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: to represent a dude during the day. So you were 65 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: in the game doing some things that probably wasn't on 66 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: the up and up. So you already had from a standpoint, 67 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: you already understood how business was supposed to operate correct 68 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: most definitely, without a doubt. I understood you gotta you 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: gotta step out here and take again. So I think 70 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing Roth because a lot of people 71 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: are afraid of failure, and I think if you're afraid 72 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: of failure, you're never gonna succeed because you're afraid to 73 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: take that step because you're like, man, I might fall, 74 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: well climbing to the top. You will fall. You gonna fall, 75 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: But you gotta get back up, dush your knees off, 76 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: make sure your shirt looking good, and get right back 77 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: on the track because you will fall. That's what comes 78 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: with the game except that. But just make sure when 79 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: you get back up you learn from that and you 80 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: don't fall back in the same place. Ross. I heard something. 81 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: I heard you say something about when you did your 82 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: businesses and what you did for your family, you say 83 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: that you put them on so therefore you don't have 84 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: to constantly come out of your pocket and give them money. 85 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: You gave them an avenue so they can do their 86 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: own thing right, most definitely. And that go for my 87 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: my little ones as well. I'm teaching my younger ones. 88 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: You gotta put yourself in a position where you can 89 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: decide your income. You can make as much as you want, 90 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 1: versus just waiting for you know me. And that started, 91 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: of course with my family, my immediate family. And I 92 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: was blessed to have a mother that was highly intelligent. 93 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: She had made degrees in so many different things, as 94 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: well as my sister. Now, okay, let's put all those 95 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: skills to use and let's turn up. And that's what 96 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: we did. I empowered my mom with the empire of 97 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: my sister. She's doing her own thing and we all 98 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: win it. Well, Ross, you have a very small family. 99 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: But as you start to branch out, how did you 100 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: abhorid the jealousy? How did you abhorid you the family members? Like? Ross? 101 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: You got it? Let me get it? Well, you know, uh, 102 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: I think for one of the person I am and 103 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: the person I was before I got paper. It was 104 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: always about honor. It wasn't necessarily about the money. You 105 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: could have been my my big cousin and the family 106 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: who went to the league, and we wouldn't eroded you 107 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: like that because that's just how my family was. It 108 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: ain't really about the you know, it's about going fishing 109 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: on the weekend and all that. So you just gotta 110 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: if if I feel like a person is weak, if 111 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: they just succumbed the jealousy, you gotta exclude them about 112 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: the equation, right, and you can't even think twice about that. 113 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: But sometimes ross you don't know that us until you 114 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: get something for them to be jealous about. See, if 115 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: you still on their level, there is no jealousy because 116 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: you right where they are. It's when you start to 117 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: move without them, that's without of doubt. And that's something 118 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: that you just gonna have to learn as you go. 119 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: But that's something you can expect and uh, you ain't 120 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: necessarily got to anticipate it, but expect it. So when 121 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: they present itself to you, you deal with it and 122 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: keep going. Was it hard to say no because a 123 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: lot of you see obviously talked to I know a 124 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: lot of athletes and from myself. It's sometimes it's hard 125 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: to say no because you know, you get that boy, 126 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: I change your diapers. Boy, you remember that time I 127 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: took you to the story about those shoes? Man, you 128 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: remember I bought you the pack of cooking that guilt 129 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: trip you or it's half five hunter, leave me alone? 130 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: How do you say no? Ros I don't I don't. 131 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: You know, I make sure I was always in a 132 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: position where I showed love. Right, it wasn't really necessarily 133 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: my move if he was playing chess, right, I'm I'm 134 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: always a player head. And so if you come you know, 135 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: if it comes to a time where you feel like 136 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: you gotta say no, don't even think twice about it. 137 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: Follow your heart. What was the very first business you 138 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: ever started? Be illegal or illegal? Oh? Man? Man, you 139 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: know it's I didn't tried too many different things. Man. 140 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: I always considered myself to be a boss. I was 141 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: always willing to start at the bottom, you know, like 142 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: I like I say. I started working at a car 143 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: wash at thirteen from eight in the morning at eight 144 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: pm on the weekends. I made thirty dollars plus tips. 145 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: You know, but in a month or two I knew 146 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: how to if you was a big dope boy, I 147 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: knew how to go feel your car for you. I 148 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: had your CDs organized, your cassettes organized for you. I 149 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: got back, you know, so I went out the way 150 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: and that just applied that everything I did, I'm gonna 151 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: go a little further than maybe the next person did. 152 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: Ross always tell when I talked to kids, I say, look, 153 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: experience a lot of different things, have a lot of 154 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: differ for jobs, because what you do as a child 155 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: will let you know what you don't want to do 156 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: as an adult. See, when I did businesses, I knew 157 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: what I didn't want to do. But Roth, unlike you, 158 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if I really ever truly said, you 159 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: know what, I want to be the CEO. I want 160 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: to be a boss. I might you know what made 161 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: you say, you know what, Working for somebody's cool, But 162 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: if I wanted to have people working with me, that 163 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: would be even doper. Oh man, I knew that once 164 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: I started working at the car wash. You wash, Yeah, 165 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: when I was working at the car wash, because once 166 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: you you you.

I'm gonna be the biggest ever rolph. How 980 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 1: do you pick a beat? What are you listening for? 981 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: M Well, it's hard to explain what I'm really listening for. 982 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: But one way I could try to do it is 983 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:46,760 Speaker 1: when I listen, I'm listening in colors. Every every sound 984 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: is a different color. And if I let an instrumental 985 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: come on and I play an instrumental in a room 986 00:53:55,520 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: for let's say four or five hours, the room to 987 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,279 Speaker 1: be filled with these colors. So when I walk into 988 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 1: the room, it's like if you walk in and smoking, 989 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 1: you know how I go buy you. I wanted to 990 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: surround me and I want to be able to see 991 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,799 Speaker 1: the cords, the sounds, and to me, it just make 992 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,319 Speaker 1: the words come that much easier to me because when 993 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: I could see the colors, it's it's touching my mind 994 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,479 Speaker 1: in a different way. So now my heart got to match. 995 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 1: It ain't nothing that I'm I'm trying to come up 996 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,440 Speaker 1: with some words. Now my heart got to feel that 997 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 1: in so let's turn it up. Let's go. So where 998 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 1: do you where do you like to write? Where is 999 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 1: the ideal play for Roster to write? To write? To 1000 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 1: write a song? Well, it depending on what chause I'm in. 1001 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: I'm in Miami right now. So where I'm sitting right now, 1002 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 1: it's where I love to get up six am. Cut 1003 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,839 Speaker 1: cut an instrumental on and start my smoking process maybe 1004 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: simple love champagne and start talking my shit that I 1005 00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,480 Speaker 1: want to talk.

Where is where is 1017 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,719 Speaker 1: the craziest place you recorded the song where were you 1018 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,880 Speaker 1: when you wrote you say you hustling? You was driving 1019 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 1: up to a treat of concert when you recorded the 1020 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: first the first line, where are some of the craziest places? 1021 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 1: You wrote a lyric man. I then came with ideas 1022 00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:00,319 Speaker 1: for records in the middle of having sex. And I'd 1023 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,839 Speaker 1: have been looking at myself, looking at a post like damn, 1024 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 1: this is all right right here, And I come up 1025 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 1: with something right then and say, well, you gotta remember that, 1026 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 1: you know, And and really I love to draw ideas 1027 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 1: from everything that I'm around. It could be something that 1028 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 1: I'm listening to, it could be something, because to me, 1029 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 1: that's the best things to make music and speak about 1030 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 1: what's going on. That's the only reason the album may finish. 1031 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,800 Speaker 1: It's so many different things that that happened in the 1032 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,320 Speaker 1: last few weeks that I gotta address in my music. 1033 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,319 Speaker 1: I gotta address what's going on in the capital, what's 1034 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 1: going on in DC. I gotta say something about that. 1035 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 1: And when they you know, when they hear it, you know, 1036 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 1: people know how rose they get down. I was reading something. 1037 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true or not. You can 1038 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,160 Speaker 1: correct me, you can confirm it. To not that you 1039 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: got enough music with Drake and Nah that you can 1040 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 1: do a project. It may be possible because those are 1041 00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: two artists that we've both discussed doing a project together. Me. Nas, 1042 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,320 Speaker 1: We've had that discussion. Me and Drake had that discussion 1043 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:12,320 Speaker 1: as well as ME and John Legend had that same discussion. 1044 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: And it's a great possibility Me and John may do 1045 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 1: that first. But you know, me and Nas have collaborated 1046 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 1: multiple times, and you know I may have spoke to 1047 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 1: him about a recent collaboration within the last month or two. 1048 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: How does rals decide who you're gonna collab with? How 1049 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,040 Speaker 1: do you determine who you're gonna get on the jump 1050 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 1: on the track with or who's gonna jump on the 1051 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 1: track with you? Well, first and foremost, it depends on 1052 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 1: the production and the sound. You know, it's not personally 1053 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 1: what's what I want, But what does this record need 1054 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 1: to you know, touch the streets, the service purpose to 1055 00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 1: the streets and to the Rose listeners. What's gonna really 1056 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 1: touch them in a special way? And that's what I 1057 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: start with first, and then my personal opinion may come 1058 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: into play as to who gonna do that the best, 1059 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: But it's ultimately about the record and what we're doing 1060 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 1: on the record, and who's gonna bring you know, this 1061 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 1: this energy to the record, that's that's needed. I've had 1062 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: Snoop on the show. I've had ice Cube on the show, 1063 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 1: and they say when they jump on a feature, even 1064 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: though they're not that's not their album, they actually trying 1065 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: to show the dude up that they they like, Okay, 1066 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: you had me on here. When you jump on the feature, 1067 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 1: you trying to you trying to get him that work. Oh, 1068 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: he already know he's gonna get it from Rose. It 1069 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 1: ain't even the fact that if I'm trying to, he 1070 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,000 Speaker 1: already know he's gonna get it. How you how you 1071 00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: take over? How you take over the man? How do 1072 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 1: you take over the track? How you gonna dominate the 1073 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 1: man track? And I'm gonna tell you how. Nine times 1074 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: out of ten, when they reach out to Rose, it's 1075 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 1: because the sound telling them to reach out the Rose 1076 00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 1: and the sound is something that's a Rose vibe. It's 1077 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 1: no way you're gonna get around me not shining on that. 1078 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna shine and that's my job, you know what 1079 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I'm gonna enjoy it.

Big, What's the what's the key to longevity 1104 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 1: in this game? Consistency? Consistency, It's easy. Uh. It's a 1105 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 1: lot of artists that have came and went since I 1106 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: came in the game, since my day six. It's a 1107 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,160 Speaker 1: lot of artists that that came and had three four 1108 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 1: hit records back to back to back, and now they're gone. 1109 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: But I think what's important is ultimately the consistency, and 1110 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 1: that's what affects your body or work. You may have 1111 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,080 Speaker 1: a hit record, you may have you may be cool 1112 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 1: with a homie who hot who could give you a 1113 01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 1: hit record, or you might have be alright with a 1114 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 1: homie that you a verse or sing one for you 1115 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 1: that you love. But consistency is when they get a 1116 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,000 Speaker 1: certain level of heat on every record and that in 1117 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 1: turn turns out to be every album. So now we 1118 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,440 Speaker 1: want every album that he released, you know what I mean? 1119 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,480 Speaker 1: And if I am going on my eleventh album, and 1120 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: the thing is row, Yeah, you can have guys with features, 1121 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 1: and you can guys have guys the single hook, but 1122 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,400 Speaker 1: at some point in time, you have to stand alone. 1123 01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 1: It can't be it can't be all features, it can't 1124 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 1: be a long wait. You gotta carry on weight. That's 1125 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,240 Speaker 1: where the consistency come in that. You know, we all 1126 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 1: love to him Drake sing that hook. We all love 1127 01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:43,120 Speaker 1: to him jay Z spit that sixteen Kanye, but you 1128 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:51,480 Speaker 1: most definitely got to carry that package yourself. You Uh, wheezy, Drake, 1129 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 1: you Young Money, How did y'all? How did that come? 1130 01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 1: How did that come about? Ultimately? Realistically, DJ Kalett played 1131 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,959 Speaker 1: a major role in that whole you know, team coming 1132 01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: together because Cash Money was in Miami. You know, they 1133 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 1: was recording over that hit factory. You know, we was 1134 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 1: in Miami.

Yeah, yeah, no, no, 1154 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: don't get reckless. Yeah, get reckless. But it was one 1155 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 1: of those things that I said, Okay, you know, I 1156 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 1: see what it is. You know what I mean, because uh, 1157 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:35,200 Speaker 1: as an entrepreneur, you know, I'm moving right and and 1158 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 1: and that's that's that next level of envy jealousy, you know, 1159 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,840 Speaker 1: And and I get it. I understand. And that's why 1160 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:46,439 Speaker 1: some dudes they get to a certain amount of money 1161 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 1: and they want to tap bricks. That's when they move 1162 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:52,560 Speaker 1: to Hawaii and they stopped getting money. And I get it. 1163 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: I understand, But man, I gotta keep going. I'm gonna 1164 01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,040 Speaker 1: keep going. It's gonna inspire me. This is gonna push 1165 01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 1: me even harder. Whoever I pissed off, you really do. 1166 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm fucked up now. You really doesn't messed up? After 1167 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 1: that day? What changed the Rick Roth's life? It was 1168 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,040 Speaker 1: just the way I moved, you know what I mean. 1169 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,240 Speaker 1: I had a young lady in the car with me 1170 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:23,160 Speaker 1: at the time. I'm sure that changed her life. She 1171 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 1: never even spoke about that. I salute her for that. 1172 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 1: She a queen. But it's it's not just yourself, but 1173 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: it's everybody that surround that you love who be in 1174 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: these situations. And so that's what you gotta take in consideration, 1175 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 1: and you gotta adjust the way you moved, and most 1176 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:46,200 Speaker 1: definitely I did that.

But like I said, you know, I'm a 1297 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,000 Speaker 1: root for my big Homers, the Lakers. Most definitely. We 1298 01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 1: got some good things going on. But what you think 1299 01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 1: about that, James hard Man, I mean, I'm disappointed to 1300 01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,880 Speaker 1: James because ross the way I believe. I believe you 1301 01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 1: should always maintain a level of professionalism, especially when you're 1302 01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,160 Speaker 1: in a professional environment. For him to allow himself to 1303 01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,680 Speaker 1: come out of shape, for him not to hustle, for 1304 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 1: him not to play hard, and he basically forced the 1305 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,720 Speaker 1: hand after last night, after what he said after the game, 1306 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,880 Speaker 1: the way he's been playing the last week and a 1307 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 1: half of the season. They didn't really have a choice. 1308 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,160 Speaker 1: That's the only problem I understand. Sometimes, you know, you 1309 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 1: wrought you, you were You're welcome out there. They get 1310 01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:18,680 Speaker 1: tired of you, you get tired of them. But just 1311 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,719 Speaker 1: maintain a level of professionalism. I'm with that. I agree 1312 01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 1: with that, and I respect that most definitely, because two 1313 01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 1: weeks ago they had me trending when he walked out 1314 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 1: on the basketball court. They said he looked like Rick Ross. 1315 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,840 Speaker 1: They had me trending for forty eight hours. I say this, 1316 01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,679 Speaker 1: damn Twitter or something else? Man, Well, did you see 1317 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 1: him last night warming up? I call him James Hardy. Yeah, 1318 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:45,960 Speaker 1: he had the Bakers like he had like four or 1319 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,840 Speaker 1: five bakers with cheddar Burgers. Nah, Man, that could have 1320 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:55,680 Speaker 1: been the big beautfics from Checkers. He had something. But 1321 01:12:56,280 --> 01:13:00,160 Speaker 1: hopefully he's happy now, you know Kyrie. Hopefully Kyrie at 1322 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,960 Speaker 1: his situation resolved. But I'm looking at him. They got 1323 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,000 Speaker 1: a lot of offense, they don't have any defense. They 1324 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,479 Speaker 1: gave up Jared Allen, they gave up the best bench 1325 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 1: player and Karris LeVert tell on your Prince wing. They 1326 01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,479 Speaker 1: got a lot of offense, but I'm trying to figure 1327 01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:16,280 Speaker 1: out how do they play together without stepping on each 1328 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,560 Speaker 1: other because two of the three need the ball in 1329 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,719 Speaker 1: order to be successful. Kyrie needs the ball. James Harden 1330 01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,240 Speaker 1: needs the ball. Now, I've seen Kevin Durant played without 1331 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,640 Speaker 1: the ball a lot in Golden State win championships. But 1332 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:31,200 Speaker 1: can those other two guys play without the ball? And 1333 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,080 Speaker 1: you know they say Ross, well, you remember what he 1334 01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,599 Speaker 1: did when he was an old KC. But that James 1335 01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,960 Speaker 1: Hard and o k s it was totally different. This 1336 01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:42,479 Speaker 1: is a different animal. Now, there's different between a pub 1337 01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:48,960 Speaker 1: and a full grown lion. That's true. That's true. Man, 1338 01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:55,080 Speaker 1: But get the ball. Y gotta get the ball. You 1339 01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,120 Speaker 1: gotta get Kadie the ball. I'd rather have Kaka had 1340 01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:01,599 Speaker 1: the ball goddamn than anybody else because here's the thing. 1341 01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,760 Speaker 1: James Harden for the last decade has been the man. 1342 01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,560 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irvin left Lebron James because he wanted to be 1343 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: the man. K D has been the man since he 1344 01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,960 Speaker 1: walked into the league. Now, you can't have three three men. 1345 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,320 Speaker 1: Somebody's ey, somebody got to be the CEO. I think 1346 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 1: Kyrie may be the one that come up short. Kyrie 1347 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,120 Speaker 1: may be the one coming up. I don't go well 1348 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 1: because James, k D, k D and Harden. I'm gonna 1349 01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,519 Speaker 1: put my money on them. Man, You're gonna put your 1350 01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:38,519 Speaker 1: money O, KAD and Harden. Yeah. I asked this a 1351 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 1: lot everybody to come on the show.
