Episode 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.200 number thirty six is Stupid Young It's the Buelet Cab Podcast, 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.239 Bulet Care Podcast. We got the homie Stupid Youngs to 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.760 check in. Man new album dropping this Friday, dropping this Friday. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.720 By the time this comes out, it'll be out. So 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:32.400 it's out now, And I feel like you've had a 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.760 very slept on twenty twenty. Yep, yep, for sure, you 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.240 know what I'm saying, Like, I know, things are definitely 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.160 different as far as you know, show money's not out, 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.480 you know, just there's obviously a lot of revenue streams 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.280 that have kind of closed up for artists during this pandemic. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.880 But how have you kind of handled things? It's been 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:51.799 a blessing in the curse because I bought my house 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.280 this year. I saw that, yeah this year, and uh, 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.160 I get to spend more time with my son because 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.560 I'm on the road. But it's been it's like a 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.160 blessing and a curse. You know what I'm saying. They 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.640 stop one social income. But if you're a hustler, you 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.080 don't get in a gang of different other ways for sure. Man. Yeah, 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.160 And it's it's crazy because I remember I've been seeing you. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.880 You're a family man, you know what I'm saying, and 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.320 you don't hide that. And you know as of mine. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.880 You know, I'm married, I got two kids. But how 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:25.120 has fatherhood changed you? Just as far as just you know, 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.120 on a day to day basis, and and and just 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.160 as as a as a man like you know what 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.600 I mean? That shit changes everybody. I feel like it's 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.400 it's a different type of feeling, like it's a uh, 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.000 it's a feeling that I never knew that was there 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.560 until I have my son, you know what I'm saying. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.200 And I see him say his first word, call me 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.640 that Papa or dad whatever. It's different. And motive of 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.400 course it's gonnare if you have a kids going more, 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.640 that's everybody that cares about life and their kids gonna 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.360 motivate them the ground horror, that's a given. But like 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.800 to be able to teach him stuff and he learned, 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.200 you know what I'm saying, just just the balance is 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.360 the balance for everything, because like I thought, I'm trying 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.480 to do this music shit one hundred percent. So I 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.040 got to balance out the time with my homies in 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.720 the hood or whatever, the music, my family, you know 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.840 what I'm saying, business my son, and it's hard to 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.480 find that balance. But what the quarantine shit to cut 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.200 out shows? But I get to spend more time with 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:18.960 my son, you know what I'm saying. And it just 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.840 taught me, like to teach him and wake up every 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:23.919 day teach him something new. And this is this is 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.840 is a beautiful thing. It's an unconditional feeling. Yeah, it's 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.599 crazy because like I think that's you know, like you said, 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.440 it unlock something you didn't even know you like was 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.200 inside of you know what I'm saying. For sure, it's 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.680 like discovering a new sense or some shit. Yeah, shit 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.480 is wild. So you bouy a crib this year, which 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.320 is first of all, congratulations, thank you, thank you. Uh 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.279 did you get a good deal on it? Uh? I 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.039 ain't gonna lie. We was kind of rusting into it 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.760 because I was paying like fucking thirty six hundred a 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.839 month in rent for a rent that's what I'm paying. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.800 I'm paying like thirty four right now in the condo though, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.400 in at downtown LA. I'm like, I'm like, fuck, man, 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.200 all this money you add it up, that's like seven 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.760 bands in two months. That's a lot of money. That's 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.520 fourteen thousand and four months. Like this sh need to 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.200 be going to somewhere else. So yeah, I got a 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.560 good deal. I got a cool deal. And then the 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.000 real estate we already had relations with them because they're 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.320 like related to my girl family what I'm saying. So 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.559 it was kind of kind of works out. The price 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.240 went up. Ready, I just threw my son's second birthday there, 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.479 and then she came over said, oh, your house was up. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.520 Let me know if you want to sell it. I'm like, nah, 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.480 I just got in here. We're gonna keep hold. We're 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.680 gonna hold on to it, because Yo, that's what's about 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.360 la Is. I don't feel like I feel like it's 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.359 whenever real estate takes a dip la certain places like 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.039 LA and New York usually really don't get it affected 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.359 because the man never is gonna like people want to 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.719 live here exactly. Ye Hey, so I was telling you 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.400 this before, before the cameras came on, Like, bro, Like, 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.760 I feel like you had a crazy few years, but 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.800 you're one of the biggest factors when it comes to 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.560 the West Coast shit. But I feel like you still 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:05.080 don't necessarily get recognition, the recognition that you probably deserve. 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:09.120 I think, I don't know, like racist bidership. I think 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.240 it's a lot of it. It's just it's new to 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.320 people Like I'm Asian. You know what I'm saying. I 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.680 still got work to do, I still got doors to 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.720 knock down and ship. I just feel like that that 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.840 that plays a big part because I see a lot 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:24.279 of motherfuckers saying, you know, I'm the biggest independent artist 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.560 out here in LA who does these numbers? Or I'm 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.040 the who does these numbers independent? Or who does this? 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.039 Does that? When really I look at my shit and 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.560 I look at their ship. Not no competitionship, but rap 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.640 is competitive. But it's like, I do these numbers in 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.240 my name, don't get mentioned, you know what I'm saying, Like, Yo, 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.839 I've I've had conversations with the guys at Empire. You're 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.000 like one of the biggest artists as far as just 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.200 revenue at the at Empire, they say, I stream very 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.359 well with Empire for life for sure. Yeah, you stream 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.320 very well. Yo. It's crazy because another guy, like you know, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.840 someone you've got a great relationship with his MASSI who's 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:05.159 shared an Empire statement? What is your biggest statement you've gotten? 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.600 Do you not to be in your pockets? You know, 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.160 like you know, you get your your monthly Empire you 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:14.280 know what I get, like, oh like money. Yeah, it's 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.360 like the biggest month you've had for like like off 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.880 your music ship, my whole, my whole, my whole, my 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.040 whole life for sure. Nah. But shit, I touched. I 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.760 touch a lot of money with Empire. You know what 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.400 I'm saying. I touched. I touch a lot of money 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.840 with Empire. But let's talk about the first time I 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.960 seen some ship. So the first time I seen some ship, 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.880 I was eating I think I was. I was. I 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.280 was still hustling too. I'm over here paying for all 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.600 my music, sit trying to make his meat, paying for 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.920 that apartment in downtown because I just had my son. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.160 So he's two now, that's about two years ago. This 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.600 like when Mando drop, you know what I'm saying, And 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.600 then I get a call from Nima. I was eating 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.040 that full out a full restaurant with my girl, and 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.480 I'm like, and I'm over before I got that call 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.080 from NEMA. I'm talking to homes like we need to 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.920 make this place, make this, you know, do little ship 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.520 to hustle. And then I get the call from NIMA. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.440 You're like, man, how come you didn't tell me that 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.440 we haven't been paying you. It's just been stacking up 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.880 and stacking up. And I was just like, what the fuck? 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.080 And then he just you know, it was he's like, yeah, 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.480 I'm gonna send do you want to check or I'm 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:15.960 gonna send it to your account like I'm sending to 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.200 some counts like how much is He's like fifty seven 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.360 thousand or something like. But it was just that's like 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.800 the first big number, you know what I'm saying, ship, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.320 And I was just like hell yeah, I was like 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.440 I need that run. Yeah. Places didn't go through like 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.280 ten minutes ago, right like I'm over here set Yeah. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.439 But I got more more from them, more from them, 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.320 for sure, you know, after that, but it started getting 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.080 bigger and bigger. But I remember that was the first, 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.400 like chunky, like that was just no, that was the 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.720 first check ever, you know, what I'm saying. Wow, it 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.439 was just a hell of a first rap check. Yeah, 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.520 I like, what the fuck? What do you think? Because 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.959 you have fans that are very very they're like it's 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:56.320 like a cold following, They're very dedicated. What do you 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.880 think it is about what you've brought to the marketplace 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.480 and what it is that like people resonate with so 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.640 much because the stupid young fans are very passionate fans. Yeah, 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.920 just like I think, like the the type of music 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.440 I put out was like because I like to do 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.480 versatile ship, you know what I'm saying. Like sometimes I 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.920 wrap about some deep shit they relate to, and then 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.200 sometimes I rap about some fun ship like some some 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.320 party and shit. I kind of like to do a 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.160 little bit of everything when I drop a project. That's 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.480 why I think that, like, if they feel like in 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.520 this type of mood, they'll listen to this song, or 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.319 they feel like they want to turn up on a weekend, 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.640 they listen to this. That's why I feel like, you know, 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:36.079 that's why they fucked me, the versatility in it.

He didn't rap 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.040 at that time, so you knew him since you guys 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.560 were kids. You guys are locked up together with like 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.640 now juvenile whizdam to put us in a foster care 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.440 group home and was together and ship damn. So you 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.320 guys got a friendship outside of this rap shit.

He came back on the whole past like 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.160 I got you something he got made a little gift 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.200 because I turned, well I turned sixteen, intore or something. 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:24.200 He got me an age hat yellow at Yeah, that's crazy. 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.480 So it was like it's crazy because he got out 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.880 and just recorded like that whole project. Yeah, Like in 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.280 like a week when I was locked up, I had 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.040 book composition books all written. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.599 so you're not going like all of it, but you 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.520 doing like at least a good amount, Like where you 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.960 could put out a couple of projects and ship for 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:47.800 sure with this new album, talk about what was what's 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.120 the motivation behind the title? I love the cover from 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.400 here on out, From here on out, in the cover, 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.160 I think there's a lot of got it. There's a 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.959 lot of meaning wrapped up in that cover too. Yeah, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.960 it is. It's like and well, it goes for everybo 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.080 even like whether you're a raper or you're just a 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.000 not a fire worker with kids or something. It's like, 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.439 I feel like a big part of life that a 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.920 lot of people don't try to work on is balanced. Yep. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.760 Balance and balance is very very important. That's why when 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.080 they say times money, they're really talking about balance. And 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.320 that picture just shows balanced because it's like, how do 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.840 I balance this shit out where I don't do I'm 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.679 not too much in the streets where I get caught up, 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.640 or I'm not too much in the music where I 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.480 forgot about my people. You know what I'm saying. It's 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.760 like it's just a balance, that's why. And I had 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.800 a hard time from leaving the streets and shit like that. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.480 So I just told myself, like from here on out, 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.400 like I gotta give more percentage to my music than 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.800 I am in the streets. Yeah, man, I was gonna 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.360 say because I heard you say that earlier, Like have 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.079 you noticed, because you know, if if you just kind 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.160 of see what's been going on, right, there's been a 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:54.280 lot of people getting caught up with cases and fed shit, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.400 people dying, people getting killed. Bro, like the same fucking 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:03.920 company too too part of artists, you know. Varner was yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:10.000 and uh, it's just it's just crazy because I saw 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.560 I think it might have been meek. Someone just said 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.000 that being a rapper is the most dangerous job in 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.000 the world. Dangers job. It's a dangerous job, and you're 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.040 from the streets is a dangerous job. But also if 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.240 you're not, because you're aren't you a target? Yeah, you're 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.800 a target. Like if you if you're on if you 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.760 I feel like any anywhere you go, if you go 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.439 to a different city, it's like, oh, this guy's in town. 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.000 Yeah that might be you know, a lick to for 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.760 someone ahead. And then like it's a it's a target 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.719 because like the ship you did before, you know what 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.679 I'm saying, Like they know you were super active, they 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.280 know you was doing this. Like if you from a 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.000 notorious gang. You for sure, it just triple it, you 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.680 know what I'm talking about. It just triples it. Like 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.800 Varner was tours. This hood is everywhere worldwide, so was 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.720 triple but then but then again at the same time, 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.079 it is a is an never how you said it 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.520 inevitable inevitable, right, because like you could be you could 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.640 be so on point, like so like think you on point, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.959 your homie's own point, but a lot of the times 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:11.559 is unexpected. Like it's like Vaughan, that was quanta ornahomie 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.400 what I won't speak of who it is, But that 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.720 wasn't his enemies like that, ain't you know what I'm saying, 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.839 That ain't the other side if the enemies in the city, right, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.920 it was it was some rapper shit. That's what's crazy. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.600 Wasn't his enemies, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:32.040 just is indeviduble, it's unexpected, unexpected. Yeah, yeah, no, definitely, 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:33.920 Like that's what I wanted to ask you about because 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.920 obviously you know your track record is clear, Like do 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.719 you find yourself maybe like having your circle become a 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.120 little bit smaller or maybe watching out like yo, man, 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.840 I might not need to go do a B and 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.040 C or be around A B and C anymore like 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:51.800 I used to be, just because now I got so 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.000 much more to lose. Yeah, yeah, I'll be like that. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.320 But it's like that should that I did like back then. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.760 You know what I'm saying before the rapture off it 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.120 like I don't need to be in the hood, you 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:05.840 know what I'm saying. I don't need to prove anything 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.160 or do anything because a lot of the times is 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.000 not my homies. You hear about rappers saying their homies 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:12.520 hitting them because they'd be like, oh man, he just 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.520 a rapper. He not in the hood. He never would 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.280 he do for the hood. But it's the other way around. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.200 I'd be in my section in my homies. But what 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.800 you're doing here, man? Or like damn, don do that music? Shit? Bro, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.640 fuck this shit. You know what I'm saying that they 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.280 actually tell me the like like what I'm doing here 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.960 and shit like that, So I guess that that would 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.360 just be my advice. Man. It's like you got something special, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.240 brou And like I think that we've seen a lot 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.280 of examples this year that that it's just kind of 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:43.280 shown like it might like ship you got you come 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.440 from that background staying out the way might be the way, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.800 you know what I'm saying, Sure off smarter, who's smarter 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.520 for show for show. I was just talking to you 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.080 in the lobby because I got a MASI plaque and 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.520 I was like, yo, when you getting one of these? Man? 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.080 And I know, I know you're close. We're talking about 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.760 with Mando, right. I keep checking the members with my 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.760 boy Gentry from Empire. It's closed, it's getting closed. It's 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.560 just a lot of those streams was overseas. And it's 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.800 crazy too because a lot of motherfuckers I don't understand. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.240 I don't know how to real go certification or whatever works, 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.600 because it's like a lot of dudes who get those 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.600 plaques where YouTube views ain't up there, but man' got 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.600 like forty five million, and I'm confused. I'm like on YouTube, yeah, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.160 and I'm like I'll come like my shit is on 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.640 fucking you know what? I think? I know, I know 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.720 part of that is, uh. I think YouTube streams don't 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.400 get counted, don't get the same way, the same like 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.680 the same way, especially if you're shit like it's on 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.960 your channel, right, yeah, then they should count them because 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.400 I know if your shit's on world Star. A lot 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.440 of artists who might be watching this if you up. Obviously, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.040 if you upload the world Star, you got a big 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:51.600 audience because they got fucking fifteen million subscribers. But since 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.040 it's on someone else's channel, it doesn't go towards your certification. 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.920 There's a lot of people whose shit is like, you know, 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.240 fifty sixty million world Star, but those of you don't 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.120 count towards the song certification because it's not on their channel, 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:05.560 which is kind of wild. Or it might just be 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.080 streams or something. You know what I'm saying, facts, facts, 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.400 but no, we're talking about obviously the Mandal record. But 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.920 you know you and uh and uh now dropped the 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:20.720 Yellow Tape and Yellow Tape too? Was this year? Right? Yeah? 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.040 Which is crazy because it felt like it came out 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.520 last year. This year has been a fucking weird year. 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.480 We're the weirdest whatever. But what you and what about 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.560 you and Masie? I think that's like a natural, it's natural. Well, 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.080 I'm talking and talks with Davo and him about like 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:40.720 a collad project. We're still thinking about it. I got 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.080 like a couple of ideas in mind, but collab projects, 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.000 I even want or I might do one with them 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.240 or not? Might we are actually with Phoenix flexing from 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:53.360 Shortland Mafia. That'd be crazy. Him did a video and 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.520 the fans that said it was good chemistry, so it 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.200 was good chemistry. Might as well do more, right, Yeah, 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.440 that'd be big for the city, man, I think too. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.640 That's what stuff about you you're being independent is you 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:04.000 could do whatever the fuck you want. If you want 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.639 to do a full project with somebody, you're like, Yo, 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.480 let's go. Ain't nothing holding you back? Yep? Who's someone 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.920 who you're a fan of that that you haven't gotten 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.720 to work with? That like maybe like you know, you 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.360 you've kind of came up on over the last couple 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.840 of years musically right now.
