99
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: I mean, my daughter just used to be singing that

100
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: ship when it first came out, and she was a

101
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: little girl. I mean, whoa pop to Molly I And

102
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: it was everybody I mean, and it's just like that,

103
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: the energy that you created with that, Like I always

104
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: wanted to ask, like, is it a level of pressure

105
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: that comes with having one that's so major on your

106
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: first one? Is it easier to never have to try

107
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: to create that again? Or do you continuously try to

108
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: create that again? Um, it's all about the resources and

109
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: knowledge that you come into it with it. Um, if

110
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: you ask me this question ten years ago, and like nigga,

111
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: this is your hard don't ask me this question right now.

112
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: How whatever, But ten years or ten years or later,

113
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: I still look good. I'm still successful, and I feel

114
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: even better about the ten years in front of me.

115
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that it's about us of both

116
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: because when you do win big in the beginning, Um,

117
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: the resources that are open to you are amazing. It's great,

118
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, Um, the resources to make something else like that,

119
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: it is there. But you have to understand your artist type.

120
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, Um, all artists

121
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: do art, but some are is kind of not needed

122
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: to be tainted by mainstream how whatever. I think that

123
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: when you're making music, it has a different demographics for it,

124
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: and so you could either get you gotta understand what's

125
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: good for your spirit outside of what's good for your

126
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: bank account, how whatever. That's what I'm gonna say to you.

127
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: So I had to realize that the ear the early

128
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: age in this game, like he's like, do I really

129
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: want to go through everything that comes over having another

130
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: one song every single summer? That was just about to

131
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: ask you that though, because it's like when your soon

132
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: did the first boy? Remember about the first two halloweens?

133
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: After that? Yeah, he has dressed up, that's all. I

134
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: had a long, long legs man, long life as they Yeah,

135
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean justin Timberlake did it on Saturday Night Live

136
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: When I saw that or yeah, one of those times

137
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: I was like when I saw that, I was like, Okay,

138
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: you gotta understand. I'm coming out of the reel an

139
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: the streets would not a background in music, Like my

140
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: background is the shrieks and being an immigrant. So for

141
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: me it's different as like, you have to get out

142
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: of that. I can't speak for anybody else. For me,

143
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: I had to get out of that phase of not

144
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: deserving it, feel like I didn't deserve it. I'm wondering

145
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: if I deserve it? That that imposter syndrome or just

146
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: one dream, Like when you don't have no background in uh,

147
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: that type of success in your whole family and you're

148
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: the first of the generation, you're the first of your

149
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: kind um in your own family, you know you you

150
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: don't wonder did they come from? Like the blaws in

151
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: the media, though, what comes up like you thinking that

152
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: you ain't deserve it, like you know what I'm saying,

153
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: feeling like that or feeling like what you were? I

154
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: think that part of it would you know, But I

155
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: think also the reaction of the people around you, Um,

156
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: that's closest to that, you know. So when you start

157
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: to see those people change, or people change for the

158
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: good and the worst, how you start to realize you

159
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: you start to realize you're doing something that matters. You know,

160
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: But if you don't know what you're doing, just as

161
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: yet you're trying to understand, like what matters? Is it?

162
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: The moment? Is it me? Is it the music? Is it?

163
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: The money? Is it the jury? Like? What is it?

164
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? So That's what I had

165
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: to wrap my head around in the beginning of this

166
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: always like what is actually mattering right now? Bro, you

167
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: dealt with the criticism better than any in and we

168
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: didn't seen in the in the industry. Hold on before

169
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: we get on there and say with it all kind

170
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: of crazy Shi about whom I see you explained like ship,

171
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: I don't give a straight like he gets the criticism,

172
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: but I don't think you'd be getting the plaut like

173
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: we're just talking about. We're talking about this first thing

174
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: you can all go everything. That ship encapsulated what the

175
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: club scene was like. And I was I don't think

176
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: people realize that ship like you think about it giving

177
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: you the perspective everything, get rapper going out, a person

178
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: going down m j Q, all these all these clubs

179
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: like it gave you the vibe of after hours. And

180
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: he was telling you this, keep the old money. Everybody

181
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: feeling their motherfucking self. N That's why we did not

182
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: tend your anniversary concert at m j Q. Tim Big

183
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: Tim was trying to write you off in the beginning. Yeah,

184
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to that. I understand that like Woledge at

185
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: ten years and ten years not a lot in this game.

186
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: But it's enough for me the way that I paid

187
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: attention to it to just understand why people say the

188
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: things that they say. The truth of it is kind

189
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: of what you gotta keep to yourself to know to

190
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: not let that ship matter how whatever. It's like, damn

191
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: it is that true? Do I actually I actually take

192
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: this look from Marian when I really when I realized

193
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: that the things that people was like going viral off

194
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: of wasn't actually true and that ship don't really make

195
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: no difference unless I really entertained it. I said, you

196
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: can't beat me, you know what. I like, you can't

197
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: beat me like you might get me down today because

198
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm human and I can't be got there one thousand

199
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: confidence every single day, how whateverybody, This too will pass,

200
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: like they say in the Bible. You know what I'm saying,

201
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: but I mean, it definitely passed. And then I think

202
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: it gave mold mold like to the ship. They can't

203
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: see me on a big platform like this one right here,

204
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: how whatever. At this point in time, I feel like

205
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,839

255
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: thing like that, you know, on that song specifically, just

256
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: that one, you was you was rapping, but it was

257
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: like you was preaching on that motherfucker. Like it was

258
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: just the way they were saying what you were saying.

259
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: It was so easy to follow, and it was like

260
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: you was paying the picture for anybody who hadn't been

261
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: to Atlanta, even if you didn't see the visual, because

262
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: when the visual came out and took it to another level.

263
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: But if you never been to Atlanta and you hit

264
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: that song, you're like, nigger, when is these places? Yeah

265
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: this ain't for no fucking nick real nigga, then fun

266
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: with it straight up. I'm doing the Lord's work, man.

267
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: He was. It's like this Nile was in the club

268
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: and he saw everybody shout out on this ship all

269
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: the way to even have a first secure Let's let's

270
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: let's break down the song a little bit. You know

271
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Nigger had just became a ward that

272
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: was really really cranking in our city, like a fighting

273
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: word or whatever. Say. It was the most disrespectful words,

274
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: the most attention grabbing word. So I was like, you

275
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: gotta start off the project with that. That's our culture.

276
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Mind you. I'm not coming to this as a rapper

277
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: because my background is not being a rapper. My background

278
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: is being a stylist and a human and a fashion

279
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: nick and a street and selling weed and selling molly

280
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: like hustling. You know what I'm saying, I don't know

281
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: how rappers think. I don't even give a funk. I

282
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: dressed better than them in my head fifteen years ago,

283
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like in my and I'm like,

284
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: you ain't see me because I saw I'm a stylish

285
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm styling artist. I'm styling Travis sporting in them, I'm

286
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: styling scream and d Holiday and it's coming off the

287
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: rocket ship. Just wait, like you know this is you

288
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Way like, way before money being

00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: one of those clients that came down to sing like that.

290
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So anyways, it's kind of

291
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: like taking it something like nigger, strongest word, most disrespectful

292
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: world in our culture. Start there, you know what I'm saying.

293
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,480

339
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: to you is, being from Atlanta, like you said, from

340
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,960

341
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: coming into the game, what was your reception like for

342
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,440

343
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: It was it was interested like the Nigga used to

344
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,280

345
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: grow up like goodness, I mean what you see. The

346
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: beautiful thing is that no matter what I think, he

347
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: just lost his job. But it was a blessing bro

348
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: me being that I love answer these questions now because

349
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: I just understand everything because I never fucked nobody over.

350
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: It was like they was happy as him because I

351
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: was somebody that was in their circle and we was

352
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: all flipping money between each other. He's like a ship.

353
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: It's like I make money off for selling all these

354
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: shoes and all this model and then a boy even you,

355
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: and then you the new you know what I'm saying,

356
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: It's like whatever you need to who had a community

357
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: that was a big part of this community were here.

358
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: I didn't do I didn't use it to take care

359
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: of my mom and be able to on my own

360
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: business stop having to work for somebody. I didn't do

361
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: music to be famous or I was already cool and

362
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: the coolest city in the world. You know what I'm saying,

363
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: like my version of cool, Like you know what I'm like,

364
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: Well you not uh Gucci Man, t I Jez, But

365
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: there's so many levels to cool in this city. Once

366
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: you really established what your worth is and you're enginer

367
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: how whatever that I had made a name for myself

368
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: from a fashion standpoint, providing the drip to so many

369
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: people or whatever. And if I wasn't doing music and

370
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: probably had one of the best snicker stores in Atlanta, Georgia,

371
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: because that's the only thing I would have to focus on.

372
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: Is the thing that I already was becoming a big,

373
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: huge asset for the city. You know what I'm saying,

374
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: It's bigger than my partners. Going back to your question

375
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like the people around me, they were just

376
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: happy because they knew that I was a person that

377
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: was like he gonna he deserved it or whatever. I

378
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: didn't even know he was doing music, but he ain't

379
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: a bad person. So the blessing who was just something

380
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: that was all thankful for. That's beutiful because you've got

381
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: so many artists in Atlanta. You've got so many people

382
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: who wrapped in Atlanta that's been doing it for so

383
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: long that never got anywhere near close to having a

384
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: even a local hit for something that God worldwide like that,

385
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: like that probably can breede a lot of you know,

386
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: envy from people. So for you to not have that

387
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: experience as a blessing, I think that that's one of

388
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: the greatest things talking to you all now ten being

389
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: at an official ten years, is that over these ten years,

390
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: he's whatever three hund sixty five thousand days whatever that is,

391
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: um all thirty six thousand names maybe, UM. The people

392
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: who started off jealous in the first five how whatever

393
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: I stayed so consistent that we're cool. How whatever, I've

394
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: looked at my being able to even make my enemies

395
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: get closer to me, damn there or whateverywhere, it's like,

396
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: you're not You're not an enemy because you realize that

397
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: now you're here, you're missing formed about what you thought

398
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna do. You thought I was gonna take

399
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: my fame and ship on you. I never should are you.

400
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: I just really stay focused on me, which I didn't.

401
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: Left me no time for you. That I mean, I

402
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: shouldn't on you. I just don't have no time for

403
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: you because I need to focus on me in order

404
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: to take care of what actually matters, the thing that

405
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: we got into this trap for, to take care of

406
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: our families. I'm still in the trap. It's just a

407
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: better looking one, know what I'm saying. That's quote, you're

408
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: good in this city and you do good business. Yeah,

409
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: like you said, people with you and comedy ship, we'd

410
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: have seen that ship first hand. People like my boy

411
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: tickets Jerry. The first tickets the first Hawks game I

412
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: ever went to is because I gave him some Jeanes

413
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: from my store for the tickets. You know what My

414
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: first car I ever got was ticket Jerry and not

415
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,040

Speaker 1: a three to three to fire the bumble Musician, one

417
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: of them CHALLENGERSO, how whatever, I crashed the croaker parking

418
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: right here on Western into the park car, you know

419
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,200

Speaker 1: got another car, that's crazy because crazy knew that I would.

422

Speaker 1: I could take care of you being back in it.

423
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,639

Speaker 1: any other city, you know what I mean. You probably

425
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: can just trade off some ship in Atlanta. You can't

426
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: trade off just because of the ship that's available in

496
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: comes through and want to send for your work, And

497
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: then that ship turned into a super super mega super

498
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: song and we heard the Bruno Mars. We heard right,

499
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: we heard that they had to so it's it's beautiful now,

500
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: beautiful now. The way that the bag works is the

501
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: business that I'm happy that I learned getting the initial

502
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: big bag. At first, it's more tied to my childish

503
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: ways when it's like, oh damn, I got a lot

504
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: of money, cool, how whatever, But I have made more

505
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: money before that from that, but not overall. Over time,

506
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: they see money is about making it travel, not the

507
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: moment of it. Like if you can the further you

508
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: can throw money is the better. Having moment money right

509
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: in the moment is like, that's what you're saying. The

510
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: front you can throw money is the longest is going

511
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 1: to last. You know what I'm saying. If you got

512
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: all of them, Simmer, that's real because in my mind

513
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: it's Randy Moss going to get the money, So you

514
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: just gotta put it over there. Yeah, just throw it.

515
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: It's that consistent, and don't look back too much, however,

516
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: because you miss it, and just keep going. And then

517
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: when it's time to put your arms out, receive what

518
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: you deserve, and catch it because if you're dropping, that's

519
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: on you. There's nigga Philosopher. I didn't know this ship.

520
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: He turned to financing, but let's just start here. She

521
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna pop up with my man said, it's gonna pop

522
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: up with the little Indian. That's philosopher. Money told him.

523
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: Taking it back to it, taking it back to it

524
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: because I want to get too lost in translation, the

525
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: Bruno Mars thing was amazing, but at the time that

526
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: it happened, if I'm being honest with you, it happened

527
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: when I was at my most depray a state as

528
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: a artist. And actually I never got depressed until I

529
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: got into music. Like I've never been the first in

530
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: the music industry success Like you want to be successful? Bro?

531
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: Like to take back to your original first question right

532
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: when you asked about you know, when you get a

533
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: big success off the top? How whatever? Wanted to keep

534
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: up with that? How whatever? Bro? I'm an athlete first,

535
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: I played basketball, ran track, and football, how whatever. Like

536
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm a very competitive person because I've played all these

537
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: sports in high school. You know what I'm saying. So

538
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: it was like that part of me is like I

539
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: want to kill all these things that whatever, I would

540
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: want to kill it for, like my brand that I'm building,

541
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: it ain't even about like I'm trying to be a

542
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: better rapper than Kendrick how whatever. Ship, I've already just

543
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: met this man, and like I was saying to earlier,

544
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: like damn the energy that he showed me ten years ago,

545
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: nine years ago when first Man was where it's like,

546
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a competition with you. Actually I just name

547
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: dropped your name in the song and then it end

548
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: up being the remix the Bison on Kimra virtually James,

549
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, what the fuck? You know

550
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: what I say, imagine meaning the nigger out of the

551
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: concept big concert. I'm kind of like the biggest name,

552
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: but he is who he is at that moment or whatever,

553
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: Like I'm kind of bigger than him. Were like the

554
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: kids are a little bit more ready to see me

555
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: than him to a certain extent, not on a weird ship,

556
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: just like yeah, like I'm a Southern nigger and I'm

557
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: just giving the culture at that time. Literally the energy

558
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: we need is like the first like the equipment, not

559
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: the equivalent, but somebody that gives that I think gives

560
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: the culture the energy that they need right now is

561
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: like Glorilla, like the energy that the culture wants in

562
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: a party. It's her song, A little glow man all

563
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: the way and you know something and you have provided

564
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: they hold on to it like I think that y'all.

565
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: That y'all, she got way more songs than the song

566
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: that's going crazy, how whatever, because I like her. But

567
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: what I like to pay attention and that's why started

568
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: to start working on a new album here in Atlanta,

569
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: um and only working on it really are in Atlanta,

570
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: is because this is the perspective that matter. The reason

571
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: why you appreciate all go everything is because that is

572
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: the perspective of somebody that's not trying to be famous,

573
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: but literally, like bro, this what's going on for nigga

574
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: is trying to be cool the level of Atlanta Nigga cool,

575
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: which is like, you know, Atlanta niggas think that we

576
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: God's gift to earth, like our descendants are outcasts and

577
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: this person and that person you know. So for me

578
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: taking it all the way back, you know, all the

579
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: lessons that I learned, but the lesson taking it back

580
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: to your questions about the brutal thing. I was very

581
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: depressed at the time, so when the initial play came through,

582
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't care y'all sucking me over anyway,

583
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: Fuck y'all how whatever. So it wasn't cool to your

584
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: people or to the overall system, to the system whatever,

585
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: my people brought the play to me or whatever, like hey, bro, Bruno,

586
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: Marge fucking with you. He wants to do something to

587
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: all go everything, how whatever. I felt such a distaste

588
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: in my mouth towards the game and everybody. And the

589
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: distaste came because the distaste came because the difference between

590
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: the streets and the industry, as many of them. But

591
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: one of the distinct differences that I'm gonna touch on

592
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: right now is that when somebody does something that is

593
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: legitimately some funck nigger ship, you cannot really whoop their ass.

594
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: Yeah you could when you know, and I was making

595
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: corporate I ain't even even ali. This is one thing. Whatever.

596
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: The niggas fight all the time privately on some secret

597
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: circle ship and keep going and just be having be

598
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: fab Like why do these things be forever? Because you

599
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: think it would be fighting the concerts that you don't

600
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: see or be fighting that this and you think he's

601
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: got to fight in the bath, throw them in the airport,

602
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: and you wasn't there. You're talking about the real gangsters

603
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: with the suits in the pens. Yes, the corporate people

604
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: or whatever, they would do something that is legitimately disrespectful.

605
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: Tell your culture to you as a black man or

606
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: a black woman, to you as an artist, don't matter

607
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: your race, and it is nothing that you can do.

608
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: And if you come from an environment like I do,

609
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: how whatever that is how we were taught to handle

610
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: certain levels of disrespect. I'm a conversating type of fella.

611
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: My conversation is pretty damned on point. But it's been

612
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: things in this game the way that it's been done

613
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: where it's like, I don't want to do no talking.

614
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: I want to put my hand on the face for

615
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: you're saying they got as swooping type disrespect. That's just

616
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: the norm around this motherfucker on that level of like

617
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: fuck talking. Yeah, imagine you walk in, you hear your

618
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: ship on the top of the commercial and andre you

619
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: don't have no say so and nothing that they were

620
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: like thanks for making the song man you did. That's

621
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: a solid black motherfucker. Right, that's what you're setting outside

622
00:36:53,320 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: the door. That's God, that's what you're here. That's what

623
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: you're here. Hey, don't you use those big lips and

624
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: eat some of that fruit? Yeah? Get a cool aid

625
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: packet in there? He just playing guess what we get here?

626
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: A watermelon? Yeah? Get you Your mammy will be really

627
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: proud of that. Yeah, Like, how do you deal with this?

628
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: Speak to that? Like, how do you get through that? Like?

629
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: Because I think that's what a lot of people who

630
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: watched this that are on, you know, because we got

631
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people that watch us that are don't

632
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: even know that they on the cusp of becoming the

633
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: most successful that they've ever became in their life. So

634
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: these are things that we need to get out there,

635
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: Like how do you get past that? What's the way

636
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: to navigate past seeing that, feeling that and not being

637
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: able to do nothing? How do you walk out of

638
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: that room and still continue to be whoever you are

639
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: before you walked in? Um? I think that staying My

640
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: first thing I was say to you, staying focus on

641
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: out working the opinion, outworking artwork in the room. Um,

642
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: you gotta understand your advantage, your advantages. Well, my advantages.

643
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm the culture. I'm really outside there. Advantages. They have

644
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: spent their life learning the business and how to take

645
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: your culture and monetize it how whatever. So that instead

646
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: of focusing on the oppression, I think you should focus

647
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 1: on the knowledge that you lack, and then that being

648
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: able to fight it is what allows you to kind

649
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: of like being a better position now to answers a

650
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: little bit more detailed into your question. I have been

651
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: blessed enough to not get that extreme stuff happened directly

652
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: to me. But micro microaggressions. I think you've heard of

653
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: people say that in the workforce. I feel like those

654
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: are the things that a lot of the newer people

655
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: and labels don't realize that they're doing, and the ones

656
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: that do, only people they know what they're doing. They'll

657
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: give a funk. It's like your parents. Your mother, if

658
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 1: that's how she cooked this ship, that she could be nasty,

659
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: said she'd been cooking it that way for thirty seven years. Nigger,

660
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: that's how it's getting cooked. It's the same thing with

661
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: the older people in the label thing or whatever. It's like, bro,

662
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: if James Brown took this contract, turn that James take

663
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: this contract or whatever. It ain't necessarily uh personal, my

664
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: nigga or whatever. It's just like because you're just the business.

665
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: And if if you never beat me in court to

666
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: make me change this contract, I'm gonna keep using this contract,

667
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: my nigger. You know. I think that the industry is

668
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: changing for the better because more people of color coming

669
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: into it. But even outside of more people in color,

670
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: it's not about us. We are always going to try

671
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: and figure out how to be team us, whether it's

672
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 1: a clique or all of us. But the newer races

673
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: of people that are coming into the understand I need

674
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: that these old dinosaur ways are not even appealing to them.

675
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: So the new white A and r s, new white

676
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: CEOs or whatever. Like some of these guys now being

677
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: ten years and this ship. I met them when they

678
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 1: were just a mid level an R and now they're

679
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: like s VP of this record label and ship like that.

680
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: And you can see when they pull a white man

681
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: move because they just can't help that they're white. I

682
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: hate asking white people to do black ship. It's like, bro,

683
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: I expect the white person to do white ship because

684
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: he's white. That's what he knows. When you go when

685
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: he goes to his house, he lives his lifestyle, and

686
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: you go to your house to live your lifestyle. It's

687
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: different or whatever, Like let's take our families. It's different.

688
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: So unless you take the actual conscious effort to do

689
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: your homework on somebody's culture, you will always be button

690
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: his or whatever. Because I don't want to keep blaming

691
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: somebody for something that you've been doing a fo hundred years.

692
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: I need more knowledge to beat it. I need to

693
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: beat it. I need to beat it. I need to

694
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: If I don't beat it, I need to make sure

695
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: to leave enough things, enough interviews with other brothers and

696
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: other sisters and other people, whether whoever the racist person

697
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking to. Whereas like we figured this out because

698
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: it's people outside of being black, they want to beat it.

699
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: I feel like, if you don't love black people, you

700
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: should be getting no money off of them, Like, if

701
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: you don't love the funk out of black people, you

702
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to prefer everybody not respect it. But

703
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: think about it. If you don't, let's say, let's take

704
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: it to car. If a white man fix her engine,

705
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 1: ain't you gonna pay him? If you fix the white man? Everyone? Baby,

706
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: I know I understand the better question know is do

707
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: you think like if you want to take it all

708
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: the way back to white you know, if you're just

709
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: speaking white should be doing. You can't say that right

710
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: you get them, yeahpends on what you let me. Then

711
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to just God damn go home

712
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: and be like, listen, we're white over here. You've just

713
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: been making money off black people all day. But that's

714
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: why I love you, because I'm asking you now and

715
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: I can show you love as long as the prophet

716
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: margin is dead. So you want to they're gonna be loved.

717
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: If I ain't got nothing that you ain't got nothing,

718
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: then come on jumping the car and gonna see you

719
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: walk down the street that type of little so whatever.

720

Speaker 1: You got a hunt your white artists on your black

721
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: But how should I won't that? I just understand as

Speaker 1: you gotta go step further because you know, Paul said,

760
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: Mike asked him what's the best way to make money

761
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: as an artist, and Paul was like buying publishing to

762
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: other artists. He went about the ship. So he gave

763
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: him the game, but he meant, go by that's what

764
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: I heard. He ain't by my ship man, So that's

765
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: even colder. But like, but like for you being in

766
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: the game teen years now, that's an eternity for you know,

767
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: any artists to do anything like how much do you

768
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: credit the fact that not just the music, but like

769
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: something that I always looked at you for just because

770
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: of some ship I meant to just the fashion, how

771
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: much do you credit that? And stretching you these teen years?

772
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: Um at least images images turning to James power. You

773
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: have to try understand your superpower just like this too

774
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: far the dress stuff, the dress stuff like wearing a

775
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: dress whatever, like um I wore I wonder call it this.

776
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: I know I understand the fashion perspective of it, because

777
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: mind you, I'm really the person. I don't dredging about it.

778
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: That's why you'll see games at my show. You'll see whites,

779
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: you'll see you, but you're gonna see the most left

780
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: of center people have to turn the James Show or

781
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: the most left to center fans of music. They treat

782
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: the James mans how whatever. Why is that? I don't

783
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: ask that question no more. I just cultivate these nakeds

784
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: and just want to build things, to build communities and

785
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: build metal versus and build things to cultivate all these

786
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: left to center people that my frequency speaks to them,

787
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: my confidence speaks to them. That's what it is, you know,

788
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So you know, um, I forgot what

789
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: your question was. The fashion, but yes, like image, images everything, man,

790
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's what I started as a stylust

791
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: before a musician. I started in fashion before I ever

792
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: picked up a mic, so images. I always felt that

793
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: I had image handled because artists were coming to me

794
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: to dress them before I ever did music. Some of

795
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: your fashion. That just was about to ask that I

796
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: gotta get it. I gotta get so of course, Andrew

797
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: three thousand, James Brown, little Prince um escrita. If you

798
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: don't know, that's creata, that's a little Richard kind of

799
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: got his way from back in the day. Yeah, my

800
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: grandfather played for a Little Richard's band. He played the

801
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: whole the Little Richard man yet Clifford, Clifford Berks, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

802
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: that's yeah. Welcome, y'all, welcome. I'm holding out. I'm understand you.

803
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: But those people, those people in some shape away. My

804
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: older brother, his name is Solomon, Um, he was one

805
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: when we didn't grow up together. I got a lot

806
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: of brothers and sisters because my pops was he was

807
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: a roller and we didn't grow up together. So even

808
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: though I have so many brothers and sisters. I grew

809
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: up by myself, so I'm a very like selfish person.

810
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,479
Speaker 1: And Um, when I met my brother for the first

811
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: time as a as like a little bit old, as

812
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 1: a teenager, he was a little older. He was older

813
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: than me. However, he was in New Yorker. I was like, damn,

814
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: just think you got more jeans and I got clothes

815
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: like just jeans how whatever, and like when I left,

816
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: I went to visit him for the first time. When

817
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: I left there, I didn't see him again for years.

818
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: But in my mind, I was like, Okay, I got

819
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: something to live up to. How whatever type situation. Um,

820
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: the way that my parents treated me because I came

821
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: over here as an immigrant. I wasn't born in Atlanta, unfortunately,

822
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: but I love being a Trinidadian, proud Trinidadian. Um. Atlanta

823
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: molded me as as you know, a child, and the

824
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: dot with you too. Oh yeah, I mean so you

825
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: went if they didn't they you do when you went

826
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: through the city. Man, I love DC because the Caribbean

827
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: demographic there is amazing to me. Bro all the way,

828
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: it's really really good. Like if anybody that's watching this

829
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: right now, which is probably millions of people because we're

830
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: going viral for something. Um, DC's Caribbean culture, not just Trinidadi.

831
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: And even though Trinees are the best, uh is amazing. Man,

832
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: Why y'all don't funk with Tobago. Man? Oh nobody said that.

833
00:49:54,840 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 1: Um but literally so literally nobody. These shoes my sneaker.

834
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: These are the Maxi taxis because and they're this color

835
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: because in Tobago, because they're the blue Maxi taxis. Only

836
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: in Tobago you can get a blue Maxi taxi. So

837
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: that I dedicated. Some maxi taxes are form of transportation.

838
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: How whatever I formed transportations, Like I was trying to

839
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: ascend like I knew y'all was acting like ta taxi.

840
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: Yeah I yeah, man, guys soon but but yeah so time.

841
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: But but you are right there, Tobago does not come

842
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: out people's minds when they say tuning that as often

843
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: as the ship. You know what I'm saying. I mean,

844
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: I just didn't do what the Tobagan, Tabagonian, Tambagoniangonian, Tambagonian.

845
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: This ship going crazy. Yeah it is historic all the way,

846
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: but shout out the Tambagonians. Yeah, all of that that

847
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 1: sounds like a spell probably, but the contract with Bruno

848
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: that was right though. Yeah, so you know Bruno did

849
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: great business. This was sometimes your attitude can block of

850
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: blessing and luckily I was able to get out of

851
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: my funk before that. And then you don't even know

852
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: you'd be doing this. I was just a vessel from creative.

853
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm just doing the Lord's workout. But um, I was

854
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: able to get out of it. And as soon as

855
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: I unfortunately had left out of Atlanta, went to Latium

856
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: shoot some music videos with a guy whom kind of

857
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: like threw me a bone. Um my whole everything changed. Bro,

858
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: everything changed. And I say that to say words like bro,

859
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: I love Atlanta, but I had to get out of

860
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: Atlanta in order to really appreciate Atlanta because Atlanta made

861
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: me who I am as an artist and partially as

862
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: a man. Um, but who I am to be that's

863
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: not Atlanta's to say in this guy's decision. And I

864
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: think he just had more for me, because sometimes when

865
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: you got when the universe has more for you, you

866
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: gotta go to that medium that helps you get what's

867
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 1: more for you. Here's no offensive this to what helped

868
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: you become a part of you, you know what I'm saying.

869
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: But Atlanta didn't birth me. I wasn't even moving here,

870
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that's why I once

871
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: again you're gonna Henry keep saying. I really look at

872
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: these last ten years. At the beginning of it, hour

873
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: came to do the Lord's work time and messenger what

874
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: the culture needed, you know what I'm saying. And people

875
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: still talk about the thing that happened ten years ago

876
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: that still matters. I just did a show and goddamned Jacksonville,

877
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: North Carolina, that ship was going upside down, like the

878
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: song came out yesterday. You know what I'm saying. Why

879
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: is that? Because that spiritual him it works in this

880
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: church still they still go by that Bible, you know

881
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like in Atlanta, we get new spiritual

882
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: hymns every two weeks ago. It's like this church's craft

883
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: turning them into that we got new class together, you know,

884
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: because by time the song go like global, we already

885
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: be tired of. And in Atlanta, because I heard the

886
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: ship for a year, you didn't ask about the question

887
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: boom he did good business. I was in my feelings

888
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: and I got out my feelings in time. How whatever

889
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: was able to hit my people like, hey, did we

890
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: do good business on this? Because I didn't hear the

891
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: song until I got to l A to shoot a

892
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: music video. And two things happened the same day that

893
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 1: song dropped and the song to me your scooter did

894
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: was on Grand Theft out of five whatever. I was like, uh,

895
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: did we do that? Did we do the business on?

896
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: That's you know what I'm saying, And you know, if

897
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm being honest with you. To take it back to

898
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: a lot of things, people are always like man, they

899
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: always dropping jams or whatever. So but that's just like bro,

900
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: so many things that happened because I didn't know Ship

901
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: coming into this. How they didn't know Ship. When I

902
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: went to work at the Wilf House, I didn't know ship.

903
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: I'd never stirred eggs how whatever. And I left a

904

Speaker 1: realize that they've been doing him wrong. He's just been

911
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: working in a long time, but he ain't been trying

912
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: to level up. And that's the difference. Wilf House taught

913
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: me that his people, who I saw, his certain things.

914
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bring him all up because I'm close

915
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: with some things. But one of the biggest lessons I

916
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 1: learned from things like the waffle House, things like working

917
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: again to the clothing bluetieth. I used to work at

918
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: how whatever is that people work at something for a

919
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: long time, but they don't work on level enough. They

920
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: work to just work how whatever, And you can get

921
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: caught up in this working atmosphere where it's like brown,

922
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: is that all you want to be trading time for money? Yeah?

923
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's just literally just a

924
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: that's it. How wouldever? And not just once music showed

925
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: me that I was worth more, I've just been digging

926
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: for that goal. That's the goal I've been digging for

927
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: because like, what what what more can I be worth

928
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: to to my culture? What more can I do that

929
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: makes something? You know, it's ain't crazy, you know what?

930
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: Other things that's God happened story for me, because if

931
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't meant for me to be here, how would

932
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: it still be cranking things out that crush how whatever

933
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: weather it's for me or writing to hit for other

934
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: people who are not um. Random fact, random fact. And

935
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: somebody ever said to you, Abro, you know the white

936
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: girl bad Baby catched me outside training her first hit.

937
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: He'd be like, no, I first platinum hit, zone, that's

938
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: launched the musical career. Oh that I was a part

939
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: of that, mother, I was a part you wanted to

940
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: start it? Man? Did you make that white? He's gonna

941
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: claim that with the next thing is remember that period

942
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: April that too. Boy, I'm saying, you know, but out

943
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: to my w to but whatnot? You know, And that's

944
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: the thing about it is like certain things happened, um,

945
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: you know even when even meeting that young lady at

946
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: the time you're so young or whatever, felt where to

947
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: be in the room. You know what I'm saying. But

948
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: it was just like, bro, talent don't really got no color. Bro,

949
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: he really talent. Bro. It's so interesting. But like the

950
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: talent that God gave me, he gave me the will

951
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: to go find the talent. He gave me image, he

952
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: gave me confidence, the talent. I had to go find

953
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: that motherfucker, bro and just dig for it to bring

954
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: it out because what all of everything took off. But

955
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: that's raw. Me and my boy Jose was just listening

956
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: because you know, I just listened to the first project

957
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: because we're working on a new project. Don't be safe

958
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: too for the new album, and I just listened to it.

959
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, this ship is so unorthodox the knowledge

960
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: I have now, I would have never been able to

961
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: do this, this terribly perfect, perfect masterpiece if I had

962
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: all the knowledge I have now, you know, like rang now,

963
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: knowledge said don't change what then everything? So I don't

964
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: do everything you can make? I'm sad, Hey, everything Dad

965
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: was just the get had never ended. Now with the Fritzes,

966
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: that is really now you. But you know, even to

967
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: any young artist is watching this, it's like, hey, man,

968
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: if you really do make something that hits our culture

969
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: like that, bro, you really can't make twenty of them.

970
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that you can't. Nobody nobody hate what

971
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: the song everything. I don't hate the song I hate

972
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: and I want this is not that was advocate for

973
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: you to a young person watching. If you make something

974
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: like everything and you you catch a wave, do not

975
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: let anybody tell you to not make ten of those

976
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: make ten make tent now to play Devil's advocate. The

977
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: reason why I did not make tend is because those

978
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: people limit our culture. They kept they keep our culture

979
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: locked in a certain place because they make us feel

980
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: like that is the biggest version of us. And I

981
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: knew that I was bigger than the nigger that they

982
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: perceived that they wanted to make this like it's a

983
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: lot of characters to tune James. But if this nigga

984
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: is the nigger that you want to make the face

985
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: of our culture, no ya, I didn't go for that.

986
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: And so that was a personal decision that you gotta

987
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: will you ever to fit my size and levering in

988
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: order to him to that, because most niggas would have

989
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: took the money and may tend to eight and nine more.

990
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: All go everything, nigga. You know when you first came,

991
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: you were telling people like, listen to the whole album,

992
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: like you kept telling people when you because you know

993
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: that it's more to me then this thing that you

994
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: got there doing backflips about in the middle I've got

995
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: them Central Station. How wouldever I do appreciate this love

996
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: because love is love. You know how long you go

997
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: as a black man not getting no love? You know

998
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: how long you go as a black woman not getting

999
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: no love? You know you go long? It needs to go.

1000
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: The Angel Black. Feel bad about saying black what I'm

1001
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: saying about this because bro, that ship really is tough.

1002
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Bro Oh no smoke. You know what I'm saying. I

1003
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: know that it's tough on humans. I know that's tough

1004
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: on every human. You know what, I would not like

1005
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: to be a woman in the Middle East. They just

1006
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: got their license of the eligibility to get their license

1007
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: like three years ago. How you know how crazy that is?

1008
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: I wouldever like to be a whole woman? Yea to

1009
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: me about being over there, that ship sounds scared and

1010
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: it's like damn, you know. So it's everybody's going through

1011
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: their own version. You know. I've traveled a lot. You

1012
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that, I've always I always dive

1013
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: in the culture when I traveled as much as I can.

1014
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my show. I'm gonna make my bag

1015
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: when you're seeing me in three o'clock in the morning

1016
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: to some hole in the wall or some boom, Yeah,

1017
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: like what is this about. I think that's how you

1018
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: get in touch with you know, the people. And really

1019
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: that's the way I've realized just within the you know,

1020
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: United States, I've realized that you know and doing that

1021
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: same thing, that this ship is the same everywhere where

1022
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: we are. The person I wish I would viral as

1023
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: a comedian compared to artists. I wish I was doing

1024
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: all everything as like a new jokes kit and then

1025
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: that went viral, and then I would have started doing

1026
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: being a comedian, because I feel being a comedian is

1027
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: the last art form where you could tap in the

1028
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: culture and literally be a one percent transparent version of

1029
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: the jokes that you're saying in the barbershop. It literally

1030
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: can be the jokes you're saying on stage. But at

1031
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: the same time, one of the benefits of doing the

1032
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: Joel way in twenty years and then you're gonna be

1033
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: on one of them line ups performing all go everything

1034
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: getting the bag. But we can't come do the jokes

1035
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: we did yet. But you can do a reunion tour

1036
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: that you said the last time they saw you. You

1037
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: can't do that, Okay, when they heard it, they like

1038
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: was neck fliging. But when you think that's true, because

1039
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: do you think it's actually really true or do you

1040
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: think that like if we go to Kevin Hart's first

1041
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: series and he did like I'm only doing this jokes

1042
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: from this right here, that those people won't come out

1043
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: of that. No, I don't not not well maybe like this,

1044
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: maybe like that time only want you ready to run

1045
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: with that ship and that set has gone global and

1046
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: everything can do delirious to the concert. They want to

1047
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: hear a new song that they like just as much

1048
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: as your last one. They want really, they really want

1049
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: before they want you to do your old ship because

1050
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: because you know, when you go up and you give

1051
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: them the new ship, oh man, that she was great,

1052
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: why you ain't doing but and you liked, then you

1053
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: go up and do your old ship. Then they'd be like, right,

1054
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: So it's said, you want my old ship by my

1055
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: old alp man. Right. But it's like that's the thing

1056
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: about being a comedian where you go in and like

1057
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Glow said, they want to hear the new song that

1058
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: they liked just as much as the old one, but

1059
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: they never heard the new song, but they made this

1060
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: new song better be as good of the one. Yeah, yeah,

1061
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,400

1064
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,280

1066
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,479
Speaker 1: studying how to survive in this industry. The I would

1067
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: say the last four years of the ten was when

1068
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm like when I worked at Bruno Mars,

1261
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,240

1262
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, um bit fashion and image. Man. You know,

1264
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 1: if I didn't have that to balance it out, because

1265
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: music business is they they they are not in the

1266
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: game of it's it's it took them a long time

1267
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,599
Speaker 1: to get to where we are now. It wasn't meant

1268
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: for us to win in it. It was meant for

1269
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:32,639
Speaker 1: us to survive in it. And I'm an immigrant I've

1270
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: been surviving my whole life. All I know is survival.

1271
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: So it was like, how long do I got I

1272
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: survived my whole life? When they can I get to

1273
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 1: a place of living, When you're gonna get to a

1274
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: place of like being able to just be to be

1275
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: treated as an actual equal how whatever. It might not

1276
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: be for me, it might not happen, because it just

1277
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,879
Speaker 1: might not. But I think that what's been more important,

1278
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 1: it's being able to take the time whenever I'm depressing.

1279
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: It was like birth the world and everything being against me,

1280
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 1: and get back up, make another project, do new things,

1281
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: do movies, make my own sneaker, start a brand, how whatever.

1282
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 1: But in the midst of it all, be a good

1283
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: person to people, you know what I'm saying. Like that's

1284
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: been the main consistent thing with me. It's like, no

1285
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: matter what, I've never been bad to nobody, how whatever,

1286
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 1: I might not have came and couldn't have come through,

1287
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,600
Speaker 1: how whatever, And but my intention what's here to me?

1288
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Once you're intentions in the right place, then you'll be

1289
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,759
Speaker 1: all right as long as you're not normally hurting yourself

1290
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: and nobody else. Yeah, come on, man, you know what

1296
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,040

1298
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: of personal battles and a lot of self sabotage to

1315
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,639

1322
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 1: not always easy. Um As as good of a communicator

1365
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 1: How whatever. Once again, it's that media versus in person,

1366
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: you know. So every chance and every opportunity that I

1367
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: get to push when I got going forward, whether it's

1368
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: my music, my clothes on them brand uh, my socks.

1369
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Whatever it is, anything movie

1370
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: this that that you know, I truly appreciate it because

1371
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm always studying our culture and not just I coach.

1372
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 1: You said something earlier that I want to touch on

1373
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: before we get out of here. Um where It's like, bro,

1374
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: when I went to Africa for the first time this

1375
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: year in two, because that's when this is happening for

1376
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: anybody watching, whether it's two, when you watching, No, we

1377
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be that late, is like and if you

1378
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: want to know two, think about this. I went to

1379
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: Africa for the first time this year twice. I went

1380
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 1: to Nigeria to bring in the new year um legos

1381
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: and then um in right before June, I went to

1382
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: Cape Town, South Africa, and a lot of man Bro Nigeria.

1383
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: First of all, I felt like Atlanta in Houston and

1384
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: New York times a hundred times a hundred like smart

1385
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: most we got to get over there. We've been talking

1386
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: but too long. We got to get many. You know

1387
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:24,599
Speaker 1: what you're saying, I've been saying said, We've been saying

1388
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: name and country. You know what I was saying, hit

1389
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:34,600
Speaker 1: And the reason why I bring those places up and

1390
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: the reason I'm saying too because we were talking something

1391
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: about black culture, and I think we were talking about

1392
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: like if a black person at the label or white person.

1393
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: You know, Bro, you said something I wish I wanted

1394
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: to stop there, but Bro been from American Yes, how

1395
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: whatever is like, Bro, black culture is one race. It

1396
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: really is one race Black Africans. I got to see

1397
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,560
Speaker 1: our called you from three black perspective us. How I

1398
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 1: was born in Trinidad and Tobago, so black Trinidada and

1399
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: Tabagonian culture, right, and then I grew up here the

1400
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: real talk you know what I'm saying, elementary, middle school,

1401
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: in high school, so they can't tell me about it,

1402
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: Letton or whatever Black American culture. And then I went

1403
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 1: to Africa and you got to see black culture, which

1404
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: is basically the it's the same thing. I got to

1405
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: see a person in Africa that look, talk, walk and

1406
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: act just like a Nick in Atlanta and a Nick

1407
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 1: in Trinidad. Same features, same disposition, the same laugh, the

1408
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: same teeth, the same smile, the same weird things that

1409
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: we got in our culture. It's the same thing. Bro's

1410
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: we have been taught, whether it's by each other or

1411
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: other cultures, that we are different types of black. It's

1412
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: one black. It's one black. I'm just pointing out there,

1413
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: it's one black. So everything that everything that's happening, it's

1414
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 1: not because of us. It's because the separation of us.

1415
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: So when you go up place, do not I think

1416
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: that you are a lessen there? You right there. And

1417
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:05,560
Speaker 1: if you go around there, you you know you you

1418
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,560
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna be around around the right Africans.

1419
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: When they make you feel that you are just like them.

1420
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 1: You should not feel less than a black person at

1421
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,240
Speaker 1: anytime because all black culture is one coature. I think

1422
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: you get that more if you go over there, because

1423
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,879
Speaker 1: over here everything is jaded because of what the images

1424
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 1: that the projecting this space is basically over you got

1425
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 1: to go over there. See when the black we we

1426
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: gotta go to boys, man, we gotta go to Africa. Man.

1427
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:45,120
Speaker 1: They wanted to questions about it all that this thing

1428
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be that a document the just toward Africa,

1429
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: just toward Africa. If y'all know, we might be too

1430
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: rong in some places. They don't come to come to

1431
01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: me too much. When you say you eat, what do

1432
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: you mean? They don't care about that. Noons, be afraid.

1433
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: We are not going to do nothing to You're the

1434
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 1: front of anybody, but we need to know what you mean. Yeah,

1435
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: but we gotta get over that making a black person,

1436
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 1: you are doing it yourself. You are doing the same

1437
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: thing Black people need to come to learn. I think

1438
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 1: black people just need to come to Atlantage. If you're

1439
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:31,759
Speaker 1: a black person you go up with what you Kansas

1440
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: and all you know is what you're tark Kansas, then

1441
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: you're doing a disservice to yourself, and your black counts

1442
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: are not coming to Atlanta. Yeah, because you get to

1443
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: see a success level in Atlanta that you don't get

1444
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: to see nowhere else. Atlanta is the only thing supposed

1445
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: to exist, I know, right, That's the thing I say

1446
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: about just this city in general, like this is one

1447
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: of the only places where you can come and become

1448
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 1: successful and not be a target simply because you're successful,

1449
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: because there's so much black success where every other place

1450
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: you go, for the most part, if you're the nigger

1451
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: with the bread and the big Bentley and the chains,

1452
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:10,879
Speaker 1: and everybody is looking at Black success is expected in Atlanta.

1453
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 1: It's expected in other places. I feel like it's battled

1454
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 1: by the other cultures, Like Houston is close. I would

1455
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 1: have like Houston, the black millionaires there, the crushes, they

1456
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: do their thing. But I do feel that, um, Atlanta,

1457
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 1: black success is just expected. You expect to meet a

1458
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: rich black nigger how whatever, or a black woman with

1459
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 1: their own business going crazy. Holdever, other places, the talent

1460
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 1: is there, the money is there, Like I mean ship

1461
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 1: the DMV. How do you got to certain parts of

1462
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: of of d C. Hey did not the rich as

1463
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: black people over there, that's the gentrification. But they still

1464
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 1: they still you know what I mean, the black people.

1465
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking like you know where you have Atlanta that

1466
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: you have you know from here, crush. The people who

1467
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: from d C don't benefit from successes of the city

1468
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: were coming from some I was like, oh damn, it's

1469
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 1: a division here. I hate when I see a division

1470
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: in black culture where when I'm like, bro, y'all so

1471
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: close to each other, Why y'all, why it's a twenty

1472
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 1: minute drive, like this is stupid or whatever. But it's

1473
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 1: like this has been generations and generations of like, you're

1474
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 1: working to get on this side. So if you're on

1475
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 1: that side, how did you get there? Over the right

1476
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: exactly like Lantern Nigga over here and show them how

1477
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:46,559
Speaker 1: to stay here. But that's a crazy perspectivity. You're gonna

01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: make it working on. We're working working on, working is out.
