21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: my g integrity. These guys come into business and I

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: think they just see dollar signs and that that becomes

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: they morality, Your instinct becomes everything, and they put.

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: The dollar first. Man. So literally, like.

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: I respect how you you just came in on a

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 2: whole different lane. What gave you that attitude and mentality

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: to even do it?

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 5: Because I know that money didn't create me.

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: God created me, you hear me?

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: And because I know who my creator is, I know

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: my purpose.

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: My purpose is to get money, but not to worship money.

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: That's right, you hear man.

34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 5: That's just the difference.

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Man.

36
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 4: When people worship money and they make money, they god.

37
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 4: You know, you can't really hang around them too much.

38
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 4: You can't trust them because that means that that God

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: that they worship eventually they're gonna go against you because

40
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: of that God they wish, you feel me.

41
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: And so I just got.

42
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: Into the rap game and I said, man, we've become

43
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: addicted to worshiping money. We literally it's so much music

44
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: that I blame your generation.

45
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: To tell you, y'all y'all to get money generation.

46
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: But then we talked about getting money, oh man.

47
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: But then it was like, okay, what to do now

48
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: once you get the money? And I think y'all left

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: us hanging.

50
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Yo, that's crazy.

51
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: You say that because I say it wasn't only our fault.

52
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 2: It was the OG's before us, because they taught us

53
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: to get money.

54
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: That's what everything.

55
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: Get the money, get money, Queens get money, Brooklyn get money. Man,

56
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: keep on making it. All that was before my generation.

57
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: So we came up like, Oh, the ol g's got

58
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: the ragtips, they got the big bubbling chains, the big

59
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: Nephi teeny pieces. Oh, we want to be like that.

60
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: We want to get money. But they never told us

61
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: what to do with the money. So we couldn't tell

62
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: y'all what to do with the money. Or we knew

63
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: was to get the money, get the.

64
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: Money and spend it on carts and jewelry and money cash.

65
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: You hear, you know, And it's something I'm gonna keep

66
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: it all the way real. We exploit, yes, the whole

67
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: old culture and music. But bro, how can you change

68
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: the mentality of a person who called himself that because

69
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: all women ain't holes, right, you know, it's a certain

70
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: demographic of women who will look at you and telling man,

71
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 2: I'm a certified whole I'm.

72
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: Standing on that. I stand on that. Yeah.

73
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: Well, I just feel like if we see a young

74
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: brother in the hood and he called himself a loser

75
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: any man that's in a position to speak life into

76
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: him or say you're.

77
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 5: Not a loser, you're a king.

78
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: So if you see a woman calling herself a whole,

79
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 4: you know, excuse my language, I don't be saying that,

80
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: but if you see a woman, oh that's how you

81
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: think about yourself. Baby, I got a decision to make

82
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: right now.

83
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: I could either double down on yeah, you definitely are

84
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I man, I'm fin a treacher, like what?

85
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: And or I could be like, you know what, sweetie,

86
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: you just misguided. You're actually not that.

87
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 5: You're a queen. And I'm gonna show you how you

88
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 5: feel me.

89
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Let me ask you how old are you? I'm timeless?

90
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: I like that.

91
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I want to say, put yourself before becoming timeless.

92
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: Sixteen fifteen years old, fresh off the block, all right,

93
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: girl telling you, hey, I'm a dad son, I'm a

94
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: whole with you you trying to convince her?

95
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: She not right then and there.

96
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: No at that age, at that age, all right, yes,

97
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: because we all make mistakes, well, and we grew wiser.

98
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: You're not born wise? Yeah that that okay, that's a

99
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: good point, you.

100
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying, because remember when these records came out.

101
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: I was is that your chick? I was what twenty

102
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: twenty one got you? You know what I mean?

103
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 5: So, but who did you look up to?

104
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: Because they had somebody that was your OG at the

105
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: time that knew like man, I used to be like you, bleeve,

106
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 4: but I grew up and I grew wiser, and I

107
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: feel like your OG's might have failed you, because that's

108
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: the thing. It starts with the ogs. When the ogs

109
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 4: give game properly, then all of a sudden, the young

110
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: generation is ahead of the curve because they're like.

111
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: Dang, I'm gonna be honest.

112
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna say my oldg's failed me because they

113
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: gave my OG is the big homie.

114
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: He gave me life that I wouldn't be here without. Hell.

115
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: I never had an OG to teach me about women.

116
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: I never had a father. All I was my mother.

117
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: You know, women is my mother. Got is an emotional creature.

118
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: So you can't learn about women from a woman, you know.

119
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: So I learned about women from just being in the street,

120
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: going to the clubs. The music videos I watch now

121
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: you're talking about back in the days, Come on, man,

122
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: we had songs. So what what was my man saying

123
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: I got a man. What your man got to do

124
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: with me?

125
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: Got a man. I'm not trying to hear that SEASO.

126
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: I grew up off those kinds of exactly those exactly,

127
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: but I'm not.

128
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: Gonna consider them my old Jesus. Just music that curved,

129
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: that carved the mentality of a young man that was

130
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: lost right.

131
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: And I think what enough rappers don't realize is when

132
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: God has blessed you to make it as a rapper.

133
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: You got a lot of young homies who you're never

134
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 4: meet in person, but they look up to you because

135
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: you got a platform, you got a song, you got

136
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 4: an album, just the soundtrack to their lifestyle. And I

137
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: think enough people who didn't think about it like that,

138
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: and they were just selfish with their success and they said, man,

139
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 4: my success is meant to feed me and my family.

140
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: I don't care what impact is having all my listeners.

141
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: And bro, I'm gonna tell you, you're one hundred percent

142
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: right because you.

143
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,119
Speaker 2: Got a member and nowaday, it was no social media,

144
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,960

Speaker 1: Cargo.

00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: You didn't know what we was impacting or we knew

148
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 2: I'm making music for my dogs.

149
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: They say, this's gonna pay me.

150
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: It's gonna help move the moms out the hood, change

151
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: our our food struggles. We're gonna get money. So, yeah,

152
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: we didn't. I'm gonna tell you honest from me. I'm

153
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 2: not gonna say week from me. I ain't think about

154
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: nobody else, bro. It was just what was in front

155
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: of me and what the goal was. It wasn't until

156
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 2: I started getting shows, touring and seeing like, oh shit,

157
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: Like we're doing the same thing everywhere in the world.

158
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: It don't matter if I land in Japan or I

159
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: land in New York City.

160
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: It's people getting up, going to work.

161
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: It's people hustling this, people scamming, the people doing crime.

162
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: But we all, at the end of the day, got

163
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: the same goal.

164
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: We're trying to make that bag to change life at home,

165
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So I don't know where

166
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: that message went wrong in today's culture, because a lot

167
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: of these kids today got the bag.

168
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: Yeah they got the bag, but they don't realize that

169
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 4: the bag is not the end of the room. No,

170
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: they think that, oh I got the bag, I made

171
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: it in life.

172
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: That's all life is. About once they start.

173
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: That's why you got so many people with mental health

174
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: issues now, because they're.

175
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: Like, wait, I got what y'all told me to day,

176
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: I got the bag lonely, yes, but I'm still depressed.

177
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: But I still don't know my purpose in life.

178
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: That's a fact.

179
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: And it's because if you made that bag your God,

180
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: now you're sitting there looking at the bag, and you're

181
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: sitting there looking at your bank account like all right, God,

182
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: all right, tell me God, help me, Yeah, help me,

183
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: help me with this depression with help me with this

184
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: trauma that I can't deal with.

185
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 5: That's right, And that money can't.

186
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: Do it for you. You heard me.

187
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: So I tell people all the time, like money makes

188
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: life comfortable. It don't make life easy, It just makes

189
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: it comfortable. You go from riding the train, now you

190
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: got a car. You know what I'm saying. But it's

191
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: still now. Money is the type of thing.

192
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: Now when you.

193
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: Get to exceed a super exceeding amount of money. Now

194
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: you got so much family that wasn't family before.

195
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: Now they're on your line. Now you got rich problems.

196
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: That's why I say so, no matter what class you were,

197
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: whether you broke middle class or top tier.

198
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: It's always problems in each one.

199
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: Nobody is just sitting there and living scott free, just chilling, bro, nobody. So,

200
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: but I want to go back because you're from New Orleans, man,

201
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: I love an accent like that.

202
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: That's one of my most.

203
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: Favorite, my favorite cities because just of the culture, you know,

204
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: the history, the blackness of the city.

205
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, everybody showed love. It's like a brotherhood.

206
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: But I always hear the same thing, your belief that's

207
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: just you. When you hear when you leave, we don't

208
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: like each other no more. One of the murder capitals

209
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: of the United States for basically my whole ourhood.

210
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 4: And the sad part is you got some people in

211
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: New Orleans. They ain't gonna admit it, you know, they'd

212
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 4: be it be faking when when you call it out.

213
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 4: But I'm from there, so I really know you got

214
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: a lot of people who take pride in.

215
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: Being the murder capital. Yah. Yeah we that you heard me?

216
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah we really at yeah number one.

217
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know how sick and twisted that mentality?

218
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: Ron, that's retarding, bro. You want to be the murder

219
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 2: capital or the world like that.

220
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: That's insane. So that's what that's what I grew up around.

221
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I grew up around a.

222
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: City where it's like everybody else outside the city loved

223
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 4: this city. But down here, man, we kill each other.

224
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: We make music about it, we parted to it. We

225
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 4: make it a cool thing to be thugged out and

226
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 4: to have no vision in life. And you know, bro,

227
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 4: so I just know I'm not.

228
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: Loyal to a geographic location, you know what I'm saying.

229
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: I'm loyal to people. But I done seen people in

230
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: my neighborhood. It's called the Goose. Right next door to

231
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 4: the Goose is the checkerboard, and I'm seeing people. It's like, bro,

232
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 4: two blocks separate us from them. And y'all got the

233
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: nerve to have beef with these dudes to where you're

234
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: ready to kill just because the whey they was naturally

235
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 4: born at down the street. Like nothing about that ever

236
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 4: been gangster or appealing to me, you know what I'm saying.

237
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 4: So I got like a relationship with New Orleans where

238
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 4: I don't like saying I'm a product of my environment.

239
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 5: I think that.

240
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: God ordained me to make my environment be a product

241
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: of me, because I wasn't. I wasn't just poured into

242
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: by New Orleans. New Orleans ain't poured into me. People

243
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: in New Orleans poured into me. You feel me. How

244
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: am I gonna worship a street or a little house

245
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 4: that I grew up in. No, it's the people in

246
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 4: that house, man. So I thank my family. That's why

247
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 4: I wear my Grandpa around my neck to this day, because, Man,

248
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: it was people who had me feeling like, Bro, you

249
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 4: can't tell me I'm not rich, even though we far

250
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: from rich, but I'm rich in spirit because of the

251
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 4: love that y'all pulled into me, man, And I realized

252
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: everybody ain't had that though.

253
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: No, everybody ain't had that, Bros.

254
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: So that's part of that's why I became a rapper, bro, Like,

255
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: this was never part of the life game plan.

256
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: Bro.

257
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: I went to college, I graduated, I got a business degree.

258
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: I was a middle school teacher. That's dope, man, and

259
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: then I became a rapper. It didn't make sense. But

260
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: the reason why is because I said, Man, when you're

261
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: a rapper, you could be what Memphis Bleak and jay

262
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: Z was to us, which is y'all are making music

263
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: that's helping us through hard times. Y'all are teaching us

264
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 4: how to wear our hats. You heard me, what name brands?

265
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: It's cool.

266
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 4: With that being said, with that power, we could change

267
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 4: the whole generation if we take that power seriously. So

268
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: I was like, man, I'd rather be a rapper with

269
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: the heart of a teacher.

270
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: Than be a teacher.

271
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 4: That's watching all my students follow their favorite.

272
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: Rapperah, Man, that's crazy that you just spent that. I

273
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: was going to say, like, what sense of kid? Was

274
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: you always into Christianity? Like, like, I grew up.

275
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: I grew up Catholic.

276
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 4: So in New Orleans, you know, we got the biggest

277
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: population of Black Catholics in the whole country. A whole

278
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: bunch of black Catholics in New Orleans is very common.

279
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: It's very normal, right, So.

280
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: I grew up my people had me. Yeah, I go

281
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 4: to church on Sundays. I go take a what first

282
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 4: Communion and second grade, eighth grade Confirmation. I went through

283
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 4: all like the traditional rituals, and then I got out

284
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 4: of my mama house.

285
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Freshman in college, I went to L s U and

286
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: bad Ruge that's what's up.

287
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 4: And when I got to college, all in one year

288
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: my best friend in New Orleans got murdered. My girlfriend

289
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 4: I went to college. We had cheated on me with

290
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: a couple of football players.

291
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: You heard me, Oh yeah, yeah been yeah yeah.

292
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: Why as song as that your chick came out.

293
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Ah, That's why I came out.

294
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: I got cut from the basketball team because I hooped

295
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 4: growing up. Oh wow that show, yeah before the Rappings.

296
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 4: So every rapper, everybody and we saw Hoop Dreams deflate.

297
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 5: Got caught from the team.

298
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: And then my roommate who I went to college with,

299
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 4: dude started like selling dope out of our dorm room

300
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: and decide he wanted to turn from you know, a

301
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 4: college student to a d boy. So you know that

302
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: caused me and him to fall out. So all this

303
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 4: happened my freshman year man And that's honestly what made

304
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 4: me realize. Man, I I grew up going to church,

305
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: but I don't have a relationship with God, because when

306
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 4: I'm falling on hard times, I'm sitting here thinking about revenge.

307
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: I'm sitting here thinking about bet I'm finna meet fire

308
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 4: with fire. You heard me, I'm finna meet hatred with

309
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 4: more hatred. That's not how God teaches us. So I

310
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: had to realize, Like I went to church my whole life,

311
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: but never really opened the Bible and learned anything from it.

312
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 4: So freshman year of college, that's when I got serious.

313
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,440

00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,240

Speaker 4: really that difficulty, and when you go through hard times,

342
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: if it didn't kill you, it was meant to make

343
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 4: you stronger.

344
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: So I'm like that.

348
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,520

349
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: replace our creator, you know what I'm saying. I see

350
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: the people that's out here that's willing to do anything.

351
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: Just to be cool.

352
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: But if I had to choose, I won't try to

353
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 4: be cool in the eyes of eight billion people in

354
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: this world. That sounded like a hard job, bro, because

355
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: there's a lot of people out here. Or do I

356

Speaker 4: just want to work for the approval of one man?

357
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: One man?

358
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: Sign me up for that all day, because I can't

359
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 4: impress all of y'all. You might be feeling what I'm saying,

360
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 4: but they got somebody in the corner right now.

361
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: That's like family turn is all.

362
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: Man, I don't feel this dude talking about that's too

363
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: much hardwork to try to impress.

364
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: You will never impress everybody at man, look y'all gonna

365
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: feel how y'all feel about me.

366
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna be sincere, I'm gonna be passionate, I'm

367
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: gonna be great at whatever I do.

368
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: But I'm just focused on making God proud.

369
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: See, and I think a lot of things get misconscrewed

370
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: with the messages because we might not when we see

371
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: what you said, You're doing it for one person to

372
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: make God proud. Right when I picked up the pen,

373
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: I did it for one person, my mama.

374
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: Moms. I wanted to see Mama.

375
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: Now, I ain't want to see Mama crying struggling like that.

376
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: So it was that was my god, my mom, you

377
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And the inspiration was the struggle,

378
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: like it's like I can't live like this. But I

379
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: think somewhere along the line, the music changed the way

380
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: the message because we were the drug push us, we

381
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: in the era of drug use it, you know what

382
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: I mean. Like I feel like somewhere I'm not saying

383
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: either one is right, but you can't condemn a man

384
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: for trying to feed his family by by any means necessary.

385
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: It's on some Malcolm x maw any means necessary. I'm

386
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: gonna do what I gotta do to feed my family,

387
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 2: but by any means necessary, I'm gonna do what I'm

388
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: gonna do to try to kill myself. It is insane.

389
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: I feel like that's where were losing them, because to

390
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 2: be a drug user, you on some.

391
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,560

416
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,000

423
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: of the world because you can't smoke. And then I

424
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: had to sit back and think, like, damn, my crackad

425
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,840

00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question, bro, So you said

431
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 4: drug addicts, like how they music get to where we

432
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: glorifying being a drug addict? Right before that, it was

433
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 4: glorifying being a drug dealer. What do you think being

434
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 4: a drug dealer creates drug addict?

435
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: But listen, but you can control, they control. We don't

436
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: force you to buy drugs, right. I never got on

437
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: the block with a with a with a billboard. We

438
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: wasn't on the block with billboard poster size, Yo, we

439
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: got the work right here. Well, how they knew y'all

440
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: had it because they knew where to go? Word of mouth?

441
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: Remember drug dealer back there wasn't no social media. It

442
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: wasn't no navigation, was nothing. Everything was word of mouth.

443
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: Even when buying WI. You heard, yo, these niggas up

444
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: the block got it like, oh, let me go up

445
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: the block and see what they got like. Everything was

446
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 2: word of mouth. In the eighties and early nineties, there

447
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: was no You had to go to the payphone to

448
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: make a phone call. So that think how long that

449
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: took to get dressed in the crib, put on your clothes, go.

450
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: Outside, walk to the store, make sure.

451
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: Nobody ain't using the phone, because now you gotta wait

452
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: if somebody on the phone for you to make that

453
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: call your fam. You got that they're on ana pull up.

454
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 2: That was too much. You had to walk around and

455
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: find out talk to people, talk to people in word

456
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: of mouth was everything. But then you gotta remember what

457
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: created the addicts in that era war That was a

458
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: lot of vets came back addic.

459
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: So we we didn't create them, right, y'all take advantage

460
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: of them. No, we didn't take advent.

461
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: We took advantage of the situation because we didn't create

462
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 2: the drugs neither.

463
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: Bro.

464
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,480

465
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: leaf was in Marcy. We didn't bring that here. So

466
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: you can't put that on us and be like, yo,

467
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: that's y'all ful, because think about it, How can I

468
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,400

Speaker 4: to love us more than we're gonna love ourselves.

568
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 2: I agree with you, But you know, every genre of

569
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,240

00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: get rico charges for gang activity.

574
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: It's only in hip hop though. I ain't never seen

575
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: an R and B artist or country artists get a

576
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: rico charge. Uh, you know, you just stopped me.

577
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: I was about to say something, but that's like, Yo, you're.

578
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: Right, garden Brooks, he got a record.

Speaker 2: they do ours, so you can't.

581
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: We might not never know.

582
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: We rap about our crimes now we didn't back then.

583
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: Now now say we about that?

584
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 4: Okay, right, Oh so I'm glad you said there's a

585
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 4: difference between what's going on now and what was right

586
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 4: that being said, this is the first ever in hip

587
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: hop where you got cats that are in their fifties

588
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 4: and sixties, Like I know, you got some artists in

589
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 4: like Public Enemy. I just co wrote two songs on

590
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 4: Public Enemies new album. I know them brothers, Chuck D

591
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 4: and flav theyre in the sixties and.

592
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 2: They've been pushing that message for a man.

593
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: You got rappers in their sixties, and you got rappers

594
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 4: this fifteen and sixteen all at once.

595
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: And it's all called hip hop. Right.

596
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 4: With that being said, it's the first time in history

597
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 4: where we have an opportunity for the OG's in hip hop,

598
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 4: let's say, like thirty five and up, to be like Yo,

599
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 4: we survived the trenches.

600
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: We know what it's like to make it out, and

601
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: we know better now.

602
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 4: So I think it's the obligation of the OJ's in

603
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 4: hip hop, myself included, to pour into that younger generation

604
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: and see the mistakes they making and be like the same.

605
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: Way we will with our kids. Hey, I see my

00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: We want our strip back. Now.

626
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 2: We're gonna give you the game to let you know

627
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 2: it's life out after the strip once you.

628
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: Make that money.

629
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 2: The things they didn't teach me as a kid that

630
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: when you do get your money off the strip, go

631
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: open that business, open up that LLC, go invest in this.

632
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 2: You know, one percent of something that's better than one

633
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: hundred percent of nothing. So that was my whole mentality

634
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: making this project. So I feel you when you say

635
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 2: it's up for the Ogs to give back and and

636
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 2: give gang. I felt like in my era they did that.

637
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: I had the big Daddy Kynes, the rock Coms, the

638
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 2: you know, rest of Peace biz Mark. You had to

639
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 2: slick ricks where the message and the knowledge was there.

640
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: It's just what you do with it. What you doing

641
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: it could be right there.

642
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: Like you said, you went to school with a homie.

643
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: He in college bro and he wanted to be adult dealer.

644
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: I dreamed of, yo, Bro. My first time going to

645
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: college was doing a show. I never even knew what

646
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: college looked like until I had a show out of

647
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: college and was looking around, like, this is what I

648
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: missed for the black So I almost felt almost like, damn,

649
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: I missed out on a portion of life because I

650
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: wanted to be on the block and get money. But

651
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, my message and my

652
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: goal still remained.

653
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: Mama couldn't go through that.

654
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: I had no pops, my brother in jails, just me

655
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: and my little sister.

656
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: What I'm gonna do? Wait? Time waits for no man.

657
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: Wow, man, thank you for being a part of the shift, bro,

658
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 4: because shift that is happening in rights and you're a

659
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 4: part of it because you are OG. That's embracing your

660
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: new maturity that you've reached, and like, not all the

661
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 4: ogs are doing that.

662
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: And I know the reason why they're not.

663
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 4: I never met a OG in hip hop who is

664
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: a bad person at the core. They're just afraid that

665
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 4: if they show their more mature side that they bag

666
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: is gonna get impacted. They're afraid that the block ain't

667
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 4: gonna respect them as much. They're afraid to make an

668
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 4: Apartment three D album because they feel like, man, my

669
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 4: fans ain't trying to hear no message in my music.

670
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: They're not bad people, but they're afraid to do that.

671
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: So I love highlighting the OG's.

672
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: The Memphis Bleaks, the styles P's styles my God, the

673
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: Killer MIC's, you.

674
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying, The Willy D's of the world,

675
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 4: the mister Fabs of the world.

676
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: I love the mag Phipps's of the world.

677
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 4: Like the people who y'all doing it, bro y'all doing it,

678
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 4: and y'all making y'all peers look at y'all and be like,

679
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: dangn bleak did it? Maybe I could because these ain't

680
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 4: bad dudes that we're dealing with, but they're still they fifty,

681
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 4: but they're still trying to play the role that they

682
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: had to play when it was twenty and see.

683
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: That's where I I don't like the rap game when

684
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: it comes to that, because integrity is everything to me

685
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: and music. What you say, who you say you are,

686
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: you have to stand on that and be that being

687
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: a man and being me. It's not an image I

688
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: can't portray that. You can't keep that up so artists

689
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: that you run into and they still trying to keep

690
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: up something they was twenty years ago.

691
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: That's how you know that's not them. You know what

692
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean?

693
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: It's not just think about it. You don't wake up

694
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: and put on the d one. I just dome be like,

695
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: oh I'm me Now, this is just you. Life comes,

696
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: you go with it as it goes. And anybody that

697
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: got to portray a role. That's why Jay used to

698
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: always say, I tell people a lot man. Jay used

699
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: to tell us, integrity is everything. When the lines stopped,

700
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: the rhyme stop, when the lies stop, the rhymes stop. Wow,

701
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: you were sitting there lyon you and your rhymes, Lion,

702
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: that's not you, right, you know what I'm saying. So

703
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: when the lies run out, the rhymes run out. Wow,

704
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So that's what our whole

705
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: thing was. Integrity and being true to self and who

706
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: you who you are, don't don't get in that booth

707
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: and just acting like you something that you not. If

00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: not smoking weed, college dropout. But I'm a successful businessman

715
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,640

Speaker 1: I don't.

754
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: It's not something we grew up on in New York

755
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: City and Brooklyn.

756
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 4: We didn't have it in New Orleans either till like

757
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: when when Lil Wayne started repping. Uh being a blood

758
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. That was like that made

759
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 4: everybody in New Orleans be.

760
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: Like, huh, but I ain't see no blood coaching in

761
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans.

762
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I didn't ce yo, Bro, I've been out there.

763
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: I got a couple peoples at my home. Girl she

764
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: ordained out there. My Girlina, she just got ordained. She

765
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: ran out there like doing big, big work. And I'm

766
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 2: trying to be out there with the folks moving around. Bro,

767
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: I never seen a blood and.

768
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 4: In that there was an error. There was an era

769
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 4: after Hurricane Katrina. You heard me to where definitely had

770
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 4: a blood presence and a blood culture in New Orleans.

771
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 4: And it just shows the power of hip hop. That

772
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 4: was only because everybody in our city look up to

773
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 4: Lil Wayne, you know, as a rapper, and it's like,

774
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 4: oh Wayne repping blood. So you had some people that

775
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 4: was like, bet we're following that. So the influence that

776
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 4: hip hop has is something where, Bro, I hate when

777
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 4: people tell me it's just entertainment. I'm just rapping about this. Yeah,

778
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 4: I'm rapping about Miley Purkos said. Miley Perkins said, but

779
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 4: it's just entertainment. We got to stop with that, BS,

780
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 4: It's just entertainment, no, bro. Hip Hop literally is the

781
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: soundtrack to whatever we want to make cool, we want

782
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: to cancel, whatever we want to prioritize in life. Hip

783
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 4: Hop has the ability to speak truth to power or

784
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 4: to speak.

785
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Lies to power. True, But movies do too, shows do too.

786
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: But once again, that's us pointing fingers. Let's just focus

787
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 4: on what we could control, bro.

788
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: But it's all the same message. This is what I'm

789
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: telling you.

790
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: If I go if I listen to a song that's

791
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: telling me trap, shoot, kill, then I go watch a

792
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: movie where they trapping shoe and killing, and then I

793
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 2: go outside and they trapping shoe and killing. What I'm

794
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: supposed to do, Bro, Well, you can't. That's not pointing

795
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 2: a finger.

796
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: That's all you.

797
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 2: That's that's that's it's drowning you.

798
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: You.

799
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: And it's like singer swim. It's like I gotta I

800
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 2: gotta swim, right.

801
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 5: I think.

802
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 4: I just think they hip hop like people afraid. Everybody

803
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 4: want to be Luke Walm in hip hop. That's the problem.

804
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 4: Everybody is like, Man, I don't want to be all

805
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 4: the way negative.

806
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: But I don't want to.

807
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 4: Be all the way on some positive real stuff, either

808
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 4: like everybody's like.

809
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: Let me play it, nah man, that's whack. If they real,

810
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: is real, is real? There is no halfway real, either

811
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 2: you all the way real or you thinking the funk

812
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: what they used to say back in the day, because

813
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: you can't portray real. And what I'm saying is no

814
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 2: rapper in history has ever made me wanna put it

815
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: like this. I used to as a kid, I used

816
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: to glorify guns. Used to be like damn because we

817
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: had dirty guns. There was no license in New York

818
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 2: to walk in the gun store and buy a pretty new,

819
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: brand new out the box gun. So any guns we

820
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: got with dirty bullshits like you no hand downs. So

821
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: when I first started seeing nice guns, was like, oh shit.

822
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: But it wasn't until I saw Desperado that I fell

823
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: in love with a P eighty nine.

824
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: Bro.

825
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 2: No rapper did that to me seeing that guitar case

826
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: did that. So it's the same influence, That's what I'm saying,

827
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 2: whether it come from the music, the movies, It was

828
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 2: in the vice them in two, So it's not the

829
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: rapper so f and we only can't change it because

830
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 2: we have positive rappers that they drowned out.

831
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: They sound.

832
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: We have positive movies, you know what I mean seeing

833
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: they on TV and they try to make to be

834
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: like that.

835
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing.

836
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: That's where the b roll movies go. No, that's where

837
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: some good movies.

838
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: Is at too.

839
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: So you know, it's all about your preference. And I

840
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 2: just feel like America as a whole when you travel

841
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 2: the world, you look at the speed they let their

842
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: countries go. We the auto bonn bro just a auto barn.

843
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: You half the ship that we do in America. You

844
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 2: can never do first. But you can't even chew gum

845
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: in Singapore. It's a felony. What right, So bring a

846
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: pack of gum to Singapore and I might not see.

847
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: You like that, Brittney grind for gum?

848
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: Wow, you feel me like jaywalking? Like member, you heard

849
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 2: about jaywalking there. I had to pay five year rowd

850
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: on the street to the police in Germany.

851
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 1: Right now, No, ain't no golden the ain't m nothing.

852
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: You don't have it in your pocket, hands behind your

853
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: back for jaywalking.

854
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so other countries they're not playing them games. No.

855
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: So I'm telling you it's zero to one hundred in

856
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: America and we at one hundred.

857
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: All the time. Yeah, like yeah, so watch this.

858
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 4: I just look at it like this, Bro, when we

859
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 4: choose to get into hip hop, and when we see like, man,

860
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 4: I really got hundreds of thousands of followers that when

861
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 4: I say something, they listen to it, they memorized my

862
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 4: lyrics like they really on me. Bro, we got to

863
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 4: decide do we want to spend our lives complaining about

864
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 4: problems or being a part of the solution.

865
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: To the problems we see.

866
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 4: And I think in hip hop, if we could get

867
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 4: just a few people, there's something called a three point

868
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 4: five percent rule. It says that in countries all around

869
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: the world, there's been pro that when you can only

870
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 4: get three point five percent of the population to unify

871
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 4: and say, hey, we're gonna come together to overthrow what's

872
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 4: in power right now, right all you need is three

873
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 4: point five percent of unified people that's on the same page,

874
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 4: same mission, and you.

875
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: Can overthrow what the power structure is.

876
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 4: I feel like in hip hop we have enough influencing, cloud, money,

877
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 4: uh taste, and skill set to be able to say, man,

878
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 4: if we want to use our power in hip hop

879
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: to overthrow all of the power structures that we see

880
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 4: that's holding our people back. Hip hop could literally change

881
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 4: the state of the black community.

882
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: All of the wealth that we have.

883
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 4: In hip hop, all of the what I know you,

884
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 4: I know you're not hurting.

885
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: I can tell you if we can, but it's not

886
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna happen.

887
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 2: We tried, bro, we had We are the world, that's

888
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: what yo. We had stop the violence, Self Destruction all

889
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: that just one song.

890
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 5: But this's gotta be a that you're willing to die.

891
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: So I think in eighty eight when Self Destruction came out,

892
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: they sold more drugs.

893
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: But that's how crazy people are, yes, because here's the.

894
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 2: Message just there. The path is there, people ain't willing

895
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 2: to follow.

896
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: Bro. Here's the thing.

897
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 2: When you create the addict, you can't get mad when

898
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: the addict is willing to die to protect the drug dealer,

899
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 2: because they're like, man, that drug dealer.

900
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: Is like God to me.

901
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: You helped create the addict, and then you get mad

902
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 2: when the addict wants to ride or die behind the

903
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 2: drug dealer. In hip hop, all these fans, the people

904
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 2: that's watching this podcast, half of them are addicts. They

905
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: literally have a taste for murder music. They have a

906
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: taste for music that.

907
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 4: Is glorifying disrespecting women is selling dope. They are addicts

908
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 4: and they love they favor rappers so much that when

909
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 4: a rapper like me come along and just be like, hey, bro,

910
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 4: I mean, were making music glorifying murder, Like come on,

911
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: and I might say.

912
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: A few people name or call a few people out.

913
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 4: Just because these are some of the people making the music.

914
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: Their fans aka their addicts. They're ready to go to

915
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: war with me. Attack you.

916
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally, I see it online. You be having all

917
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 2: the smoke. I see it, and look what I'm at,

918
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 2: and you go for it. That's why I love your resilience,

919
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 2: your resentment, your rebellion. You bro, you push through everything

920
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: that people thought when the system is against you. You

921
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 2: broke all those stereotypes. Like you are one man army,

922
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 2: like you said, you coming in going against some of

923
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 2: the top dogs, gunning at everybody, and you still here.

924
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: And I know when you walk the street, you probably

925
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: be shocked back how respected and accepted you are in

926
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: the hip hop community because you give a lot of

927
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 2: power to the hip hop community. But I blame our

928
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: race and our culture because we come together for a concert,

929
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 2: we come together for a show, we come together for

930
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: a release of a new sneaker, you.

931
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.

932
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 2: But we don't come together to do anything positive. So

933
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 2: it's not just music.

934
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: Bro.

977
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,200

Speaker 1: Well, we ain't rocking with the cowboys no more.

979
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 2: But the black community not asking our rappers who was

980
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 2: glorifying murder and glorifying drug dealing and all that to say, oh, well,

981
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 2: y'all got to come.

982
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: Out and denounce what you used to promote.

983
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: We don't want that same level of accountability from our

984
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 2: people because it's really not glorification. Bro Like a lot

985
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: of people, yeah, it was glorifying. No listen, I feel

986
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 2: like if you are an artist who didn't live that life

987
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: and you portray it through your music, then yes, you're glorifying.

988
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: You're making a profit off of life that you didn't

989
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 2: even live, or contributing.

990
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: I agree to that. All a lot of us broke.

991
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 2: We were involved, and all we knew was the talk,

992
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: what we saw, what we went through.

993
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: Yo. As you grow, the music changes.

994
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 2: Like I think from my first album Coming to Age,

995
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 2: that shit was all about I still take caps to

996
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 2: the capsule spot. You know, everything was the first and fifteenth,

997
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 2: but then when I got some money, it became' wait

998
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 2: a minute, do my ladies running this?

999
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: Well? Do my fellas run this? Like?

1000
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: So it grows and then think as in more money

1001
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: came you listen to my maid album. My made album

1002
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 2: was me talking about all the homies that died, my

1003
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 2: brother amost dying, like the struggles of being an artist

1004
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,479
Speaker 2: and trends, your transition from going to the street guy

1005
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 2: to trying to be this.

1006
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: Family business man. It was all of that. It's just

1007
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: people don't want to hear that. Bro.

1008
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: It's like they wasn't ready for I ain't gonna say

1009
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 2: they don't want to hear it. The message and the

1010
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: timing wasn't right because timing is everything.

1011
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 4: Timing is everything. I don't think there's ever a bad

1012
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,959
Speaker 4: time to do the right thing. No, never, never, even

1013
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 4: if it don't sell as much as doing the wrong thing,

1014
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 4: Because the devil is smart. The devil is gonna be like, man,

1015
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make doing the wrong thing sell quadruple with

1016
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 4: doing the right thing is gonna sell, because then what

1017
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 4: that's gonna do. That's gonna centivize a young black man

1018
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 4: to say, I'm just gonna keep girl finding the wrong

1019
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 4: thing because it sells more.

1020
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 2: But I think a lot of people got a miscunscrewed that.

1021
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 2: The industry, like the executives tell the artists to make

1022
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: this music because I see that message going around too, like, yeah,

1023
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 2: they not gonna put your record out.

1024
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: If you're not talking this.

1025
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 2: There's no ANR in the room telling you, yo, yo,

1026
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 2: you need to mention the glack a little bit more.

1027
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 2: You ain't mentioned the drugs enough perking this line. Take

1028
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: that out, say Miley, like, they don't go down like that.

1029
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 2: It's us as creators that we create the music. They

1030
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 2: go play it in they A and R meeting, They

1031
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 2: look at the interns, they get hyped. They like this

1032
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: the one we going with that, and that's ninety percent

1033
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: how music comes out to.

1034
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 4: You're taking accountability, Thank you, brother, Like we teammates, bro, that's.

Speaker 2: We don't made That's why I wanted to have you

1037
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 2: on the platform because when I see what you're doing

1038
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: and what you represent.

00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: But it was not all off.

1045
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: For all we doing is playing the game that was

1046
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: left to us, and they left the door and it

1047
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 2: said it's money in there. They can say, oh word,

1048
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 2: that's all I got to do to get something, and

1049
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,080

00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: cover and that's why I started this platform too. Oh man.

1074
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: It was like yeah, because when you turn on podcasts,

1075
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 2: you turn on any type of urban media outlet, first

1076
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 2: thing you hear is what crime you committed?

1077
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: What girls you was.

Speaker 4: Man, bro you so so Honor Washington. I ran into

1081
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 4: Burman in Las Vegas at the verses, right, So Burrman

1082
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 4: was in the middle of like he was going off

1083
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,439
Speaker 4: on somebody outside the verses, like he was going off

1084
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 4: on him, like for real, and so I like, I

1085
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,719

1086
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 4: knew when he see me, it probably changed the temperature

1087
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 4: in the room, right, And it did.

1088
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: And we had a real good exchange and he was

1089
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 2: I'm proud of you. I want to do a song

1090
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 2: with you, lie and show love.

1091
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 4: There was a big media outlet, a big black media outlet,

1092
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 4: right that hit me up in my DM, like, YO

1093
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 4: were asking for permission to post this video, right, But

1094
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 4: I know that because he was going off on somebody

1095
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 4: in the beginning of the clip. I'm knowing like, hey,

1096
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 4: can y'all let me know what the headline is gonna say?

1097
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 4: Because I don't want y'all to paint him in the

1098
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 4: wrong light and make it seem like it's some whole

1099
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 4: other you know what I mean. I asked them, hey,

1100
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 4: what's the headline gonna be? Because I asked that before

1101
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 4: I gave them permission to post it. They just didn't

1102
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 4: post it.

1103
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: That let me know.

1104
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 4: They was gonna go with the clickbait with some negativity.

1105
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 4: And this is a black outlet, bro. So you so right, bro?

1106
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 4: People like, when are we gonna be more about impact

1107
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 4: than clicks? Because sometimes making more impact means you gonna

1108
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 4: get a few less clicks.

1109
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: Right, you feel me? That's right.

1110
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 4: But that's why you gotta be smart with your money,

1111
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 4: because when you got a spoted Vegas like you just

1112
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 4: overdun or when you got a real estate or stock portfolio.

1113
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like myself, it's like, hey,

1114
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 4: I'm cool with getting a few less clicks to know

1115
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 4: I'm doing the.

1116
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: Right thing in God's eye. That's right, you feel me?

1117
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 2: Because all my bag ain't ain't contingent upon man, I

1118
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 2: gotta go viral every week, I ain't gonna be able

1119
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: to pay my bill and viral is no money in viral.

1120
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 2: If you're not selling something, what are you viral?

1121
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 1: What? What are you getting paid?

1122
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 6: Telling people that I've been viral for the last six months.

1123
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 2: If you ain't watching the podcast, I ain't making no

1124
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 2: money off that viral shit.

1125
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: Like what we're selling.

1126
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't have no shirts or no hoodies for sales.

1127
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 2: That's the only time I feel like going viral pays.

1128
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 2: Like if you marking in the produduct, then yeah, go viral,

1129
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: do your thing because you want your product on the forefront,

1130
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 2: you want anytbody to know. But if you just out

1131
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: there talking ship y'all, I slept with twenty events, what's that?

1132
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: What check coming from that? Let's Playboy hiring you? And

1133
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 2: they hired girls. I ain't seen the Playboy man model

1134
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: get hired in years.

1135
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 5: Knowing am I looking?

1136
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly what they just gave Cardy be a bag.

1137
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 2: She ain't even posed for none of that, but just

1138
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 2: she represents that sexuality.

1139
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.

1140
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 2: Like these guys get on these platforms and tell these

1141
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 2: stories and I'll just be sitting there looking like yo,

1142
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 2: fam what like, all right, you committed twenty crimes ten

1143
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 2: years ago.

1144
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:25,959
Speaker 1: Why we needed to know that? Right now?

1145
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 5: All they want is attention.

1146
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's like attention became the new currency. Like

1147
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 2: they rather be seen than paid, And I don't get that.

1148
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: Like I feel like, if you ask a million people today,

1149
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: would you rather be famous or rich?

1150
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna pick faan.

1151
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 4: I think seven hundred thousand, I'm gonna pick fans three

1152
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 4: hundred thousand.

1153
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be like, give me, give me the money, Yeah,

1154
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 2: because I don't think people think being famous means you

1155
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 2: get money.

1156
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: No, you just popular.

1157
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 2: You have to do something for people to pay you

1158
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: for your popularity just to be popular.

1159
00:51:59,160 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: You just popular.

1160
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 2: Do you feel like this path you chose of like

1161
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 2: you called out a few rappers doing this, do you

1162
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: feel like that hurts you in any way?

1163
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 4: No, brother, I'm right, Well, God has or dann neb

1164
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 4: I've turned down record deals before. I've made decisions that

1165
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 4: weren't popular at the time.

1166
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: But I had peace in my spirit and that peace

1167
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: is priceless.

1168
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 4: So me calling out rappers, nobody ever talks about the

1169
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 4: fact that prior to me calling them out, I said,

1170
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 4: I love you too much to not be honest with you.

1171
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 5: If I didn't love you, keep being a crash out.

1172
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 4: I don't care what y'all do whatever, but I love

1173
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 4: y'all too much to not be honest.

1174
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: I know you got better in you. You know what

1175
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: I mean.

1176
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 4: I've been working with human beings my whole life. I

1177
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 4: know when somebody just mentally.

1178
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: Is retarded and it's like, you don't know no better.

1179
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 4: You feel me, But I'm just like, oh no, we're

1180
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 4: dealing with people that clearly know way better. But it's

1181
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 4: just like, damn man, Like, I'm curious, bro, like why

1182
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 4: you still show casing the lowest version of who you

1183
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,240
Speaker 4: are when you're so intelligent and so gifted.

1184
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: You know?

1185
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 5: So for me, bro calling.

1186
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 4: Out rappers you know, styles P gave me some advice

1187
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 4: and it changed my life. Instead of calling out rappers,

1188
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 4: I'm here to start calling in rappers and say, hey,

1189
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 4: you can live your life how you want to, but

1190
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 4: let's make the world better for these babies, for that

1191
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 4: next generation coming up. So with that being said, brother,

1192
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 4: we need to be teammates. You know, we can't be opps.

1193
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: We can't be.

1194
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 4: Beefing because we both care about our sons, daughters, little

1195
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 4: brothers and their sister. So styles P told me that,

1196
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 4: and I got goosebumps bro across my whole body.

1197
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: You just killed me with that.

1198
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 2: Stop letting calling people out and call people in.

1199
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 4: And ever since I did that, life being way better.

1200
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 4: Me and Jim Jones saw each other. That was somebody

1201
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 4: we had issues, you know what I'm saying. And he said,

1202
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 4: whenever we see each other, look the other way. The

1203
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 4: don't even come near me. But when we saw each other,

1204
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 4: he reached his hand out first, you know what I mean,

1205
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 4: gave it that. We didn't have a long conversation or nothing,

1206
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 4: but on some man time bound me and Meek Mill

1207
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 4: got to chop it up as men in the club

1208
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 4: in New Orleans during Super Bowl.

1209
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: Good like these are with me and.

1210
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 4: Joe Budden, Joe Budden shouting me out on this podcast

1211
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 4: now before Joe Budden was at my top.

1212
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1213
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 4: So instead of calling people out, it's about calling people in.

1214
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 4: And I think that the energy that I that I

1215
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 4: move with is something where I want people to say.

1216
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 4: I might not always agree with what he's saying, but

1217
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 4: I always resonate with why he is doing the work

1218
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 4: that he's doing. I just want to make the world better, bro,

1219
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 4: And I know I got an expiration date, just like

1220
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 4: we all do. And for some of us, we might

1221
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:43,919
Speaker 4: be in the second half of our life.

1222
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: You heard me, it might be after halftime.

1223
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 2: For some of us, share in the third quarter. The

1224
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 2: third quarter my jip.

1225
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 4: So with that being said, I'm like, man, I got

1226
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 4: to move with a sense of urgency about unlocking the

1227
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 4: greatness inside of people because in our community hip hop,

1228
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 4: so many people are great, but they've been rewarded their

1229
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 4: whole career for showcasing negativity, ratchetness, and sin, so they

1230
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 4: never even got to showcase their greatness and their guardedness.

1231
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 5: And I'm trying to help people unlock it.

1232
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: Man.

1233
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 4: I ran into Noorri last night for the first time ever.

1234
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 4: Norway said, I am a.

1235
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: Fan of you.

1236
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 4: He said, I look at your videos every morning to

1237
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 4: put me in a positive mindset to start my day off.

1238
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 4: He said, I wonder, like, how do you constantly do

1239
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 4: this with the energy you do it with? And he

1240
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 4: literally said, he said, you the chosen one to help

1241
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,040

01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 4: both be found in purpose. And they're not chasing purpose

1394
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 4: because they going for the low hanging fruit. Oh the

1395
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 4: quick pleasure, quick high. Let me get loaded, da da paper,

1396
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 4: Let me get to the bag. But beyond both of

1397
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 4: those low hanging fruit is purpose. And when that purpose

1398
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 4: is tied into understanding what clicked for me when I

1399
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 4: was a freshman in college, like, man, life ain't that bad.

1400
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: After all, God loved me enough to create me.

1401
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 4: God gave me some gifts, some talents, and all I

1402
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 4: gotta do is use them in a way that's gonna

1403
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 4: make this world better. And when bad things happen, there's

1404
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 4: a lesson that I can learn from every loss that I.

1405
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Take in life.

1406
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 4: And when you look at life like that, it's just

1407
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 4: like I don't feel as much pressure to chase the

1408
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 4: pleasure in the paper because my pursuit of my purpose,

1409
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 4: my God given purpose, it keeps me occupied, and it

1410
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 4: keeps me paid, and it keeps me at peace. And

1411
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 4: that's what I want to push to this generation.

1412
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 2: That's right, Pieces, but shit and the words are tupac

1413
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 2: It'll never be peace.

1414
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: Man. This world was built on bloodshed.

1415
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 2: Bro, Like I understand, Like I understand. You know where

1416
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 2: piece is for me, my sanctuary, my home crib. That's

1417
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 2: when I walk in that house, I feel like that's

1418
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 2: when I'm my God down not I can let everything go.

1419
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 2: I don't have to portray all work to please my family.

1420
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 2: My wife is my wife, my kids is my kids.

1421
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1422
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 4: I just I just had a self revelation about myself, bro,

1423
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 4: talking to you, because I feel like you like a

1424
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 4: big brother too. I don't have a big brother in

1425
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 4: real life. You're like a big brother type of figure.

1426
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 4: Like I'm like, I like this, dude, live.

1427

Speaker 1: I appreciate you. So watch this.

1428
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 4: I realize something talking to you because I respect everything

1429
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 4: you're saying. I think that I'm un realistically optimistic, right,

1430
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 4: I think that I always see the glasses half full.

1431
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, bro, it's gonna be peace. Love is

1432
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 4: gonna conquer all of the hate. D DAA And you

1433
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 4: like litl Bro, I'm telling you, bro like dog bloodshit

1434
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 4: bro like. So I'm unrealistically optimistic, right, But I think

1435
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 4: that's my superpower because since I'm unrealistically optimistic, I'm gonna

1436
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 4: see every human being instantly see the best that they

1437
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 4: could become, even if they don't see it, and I

1438
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 4: believe in them. And sometimes even if they don't become

1439
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 4: the best version of themselves, they become a better version

1440
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 4: of themselves just because one person believed in me.

1441
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 2: But that I'm never going to like people becoming the

1442
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 2: best of their self.

1443
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: How can I put this in person? Bruce Lee?

1444
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:28,520

Speaker 2: they run over you.

1452
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: If everybody felt like that, you know, I just want peace.

01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 2: I just want bro, our culture we lose, We lose

1456
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 2: Remember Bro, the Gladiator era, they put people in.

01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: The ring for entertainment.

1458

01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 2: That's what, Bro, That's how the world was created. Like,

1462
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't be having this conversation if they never said the

1463
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 2: British is because we were never a Bosston tea party.

1464
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 2: We might be saying hey night like today night. So

1567
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 2: time most artists would only dream of, Bro, Like how

1572
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bro, it's it's humbling to see that I quit

1573
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 4: my job as a middle school teacher, where I used

1574
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 4: to get paid every two weeks. I knew what I

1575
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 4: was gonna make, right. I used to make thirty nine

1576
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. Yeah that's not a lot, but it was.

1577
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 1: To be honest, that's nothing. Okay, that's nothing. That's enough.

1578
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: I teach just way more than that.

1579
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 4: Every two weeks. I used to make eleven hundred dollars. Bro,

1580
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 4: that's how much I made every two weeks.

1581
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: Right.

1582
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 4: So that being said, though, when I started out being

1583
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 4: a rapper, it was like, man, I'm.

1584
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Not getting paid a dime to rap.

1585
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 4: So the fact that I just had to put a

1586
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 4: little bit of you know, business savvy behind my skill

1587
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,799
Speaker 4: set in my hustle and put some business acumen behind

1588
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 4: it and now been able to turn this into something

1589
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 4: that you know, has like built a lifestyle I could

1590
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 4: never even have dreamed of.

1591
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Bro.

1592
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 5: I think that's why I'm.

1593
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 4: So humble, because I know that I don't deserve.

1594
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: None of this, bro, none of this.

1681
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 4: as hip hop, we're not supposed to be each other's apps.

1682
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 4: Another person is not your app. The only opp to

1683
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 4: hip hop is this evil spirit called hypocritical hop, and

1684
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 4: that's just greed and negativity that can affect anybody, you

1685
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. And that's why we just got

1686
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 4: to be so careful to preserve this art farm and

1687
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 4: keep love at the forefront. So I just want people

1688
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 4: to say, man, hip hop is better because d One

1689
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 4: was in it, and I want God to say, job

1690

01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 2: It's always bad seeds and every bunch we can grow.

1699
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 2: We can grow whatever type of fruit you want. We're

1700
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,040

1702
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 2: is gonna come out messed up and we gotta regrow.

1703
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1704
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 2: It's just what it is, and that's what I feel

1705
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:53,719
Speaker 2: like and hip hop you need that and your side

1706
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 2: of hip hop is what needed now.

1707
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: What was missing that we did have?

1708
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 2: We had nobody as strong as popular as you with

1709
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 2: the voice and the message that you bring into the

1710
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 2: hip hop community. So that's why when you meet guys

1711
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 2: like myself, nor Killer Mike, all these people, remember we

1712
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 2: done been through where these kids is at. We don't

1713
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 2: have the energy like think I'm not the Memphis Bleaker

1714
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. Bro, I don't have that crowd that

1715
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 2: I had when it's that your chick or mine right

1716
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 2: was out, so the message today would not be as

1717
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 2: strong as it is then. So when I see guys

1718
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 2: like you that's why I want you.

1719

Speaker 2: Once he like like, you know, it's certain people in

1724
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 2: this world that introduce you to people to where that

1725
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 2: introduction is different. When sygone like, Yo, bleak, I want

01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 4: him and that passion he had. It was just like yo,

Speaker 4: Sitting here like YO, keep going, keep going, like I'm

1766
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 4: locked in with you. So that passion is something that

1767
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 4: I bring to every stage that I ever grace and

1768
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 4: I try to bring that passion even to conversations on podcast,

1769
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 4: because either.

1770
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: Your heart is in what you're doing, or your heart

1771
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 1: is totally disconnected from what you're doing. That's right. Why

1772
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 1: are you there if your heart ain't there.

1773
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 2: With you that you feel me and you pick X, man,

1774
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 2: God bless my guy.

1775
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: Asks man.

1776
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 2: We did a whole tour Hard Knocked Life with X, right,

1777
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 2: I think it was fifty six shows, No, fifty six shows,

1778
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 2: fifty six nights.

1779
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: Bro was that the backstage like fifty six nights.

1780
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 2: Every night he made a different city crime when he

1781
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 2: did his prayer on the stage, like literally every night, Bro,

1782
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 2: we and we all came.

1783
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:23,879
Speaker 1: To see that part of the show. I don't care what.

1784
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:26,759
Speaker 2: You was doing when X was started his show because

1785
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 2: he started it with a prayer, ended it and Bro

1786
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,599
Speaker 2: was the illest shit ever, Like X was the it's

1787
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 2: crazy you say that's who influenced you because now it's

1788
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 2: like you just made it make way more sense than

1789
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 2: me because X was pushing that narrative, but like I said,

1790
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 2: he was just on the other side so he couldn't.

1791
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 2: He would do it on the albums and the music

1792
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 2: and at the shows, but it wasn't the forefront the singles.

1793
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:51,759
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1794
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,640
Speaker 2: And for you to keep that draft that going and

1795
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 2: even say that from him, that's so dope, Bro, because

1796
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 2: X he put I don't think we even mentioned that

1797
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 2: from him, that he was the major. He was a Catholic, Like.

1798
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 4: You sure, Bro, the spirit of DMX lives in me, Bro, Man,

1799
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 4: their lives in me.

1800
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 1: Bro Man, that's major.

1801
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 2: Man.

1802
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: You fucked me up with that one. Bro.

1803
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 6: I never made that one because X was on that

1804
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 6: all day.

1805
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: Like even when Bro, you.

1806
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 2: See uh certain times on the DVD, he would make

1807
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 2: us pray, like not make us would come back there

1808
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 2: be like Yo, it's time, let's say a prayer before

1809
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:34,599
Speaker 2: the show, or let's say this prayer. Is time to pray,

1810
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:39,759
Speaker 2: like even now, Like I've never been into the church life.

1811
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 2: I believe higher power, I respect you know, I treat

1812
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 2: women as they supposed to be, as God intended and

1813
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 2: all of that, but I never was into it. But

1814
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 2: it's weird to see my daughter because me and her

1815
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 2: mom is not church people. And my daughter like every

1816
01:22:56,200 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 2: day it's just like I gotta say grace, Daddy, you

1817
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 2: call who I gotta bless this food? Like and she

1818
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 2: told my mother and lawd that Grandma, I want to

1819
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:08,560
Speaker 2: go to church. I want you to take me. And

1820
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 2: it's like where did she get this from? So when

1821
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 2: you say, yo, the spirit or something, I always thought

1822
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 2: that like somebody talking to my daughter, like how she

1823
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 2: know that this all this stuff?

1824
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 1: And she hears it? Brother?

1825
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 4: Can I tell you something uncomfortable? You asked what my

1826
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 4: mission is? I'm trying to help people get to heaven.

1827
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,400
Speaker 4: M because a lot of our favorite rappers are in

1828
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 4: hell right now.

1829
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 2: This is hell. This is hell. Yeah, one hundred percent.

1830
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 2: Purgatory is a little different.

1831
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, purgatory is a little different. But a lot of

1832
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 4: our favorite rappers who have passed away too, we call

1833
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 4: them legends, top ten, top five of all time. But

1834
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 4: they in hell right now. They soul is burning. You

1835
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 4: think that. Why would you say that?

1836
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 2: Because I know for a fact because they while they

1837
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 2: were living here, they made it known what their God was,

1838
01:23:59,400 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 2: their God.

1839
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 4: But was all of this sinful stuff? That God was

1840
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:03,799
Speaker 4: all this evil?

1841
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 2: But our God forgives any sentence, only.

1842
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 5: One only if you repent, That's when God forgives.

1843
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 2: But we don't know what these guys did in that

1844
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 2: last minute on that bag or you know.

1845
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,800

1846
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: hit him.

1847
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 2: Listen, you know instant everybody don't instantly die when they

1848
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 2: get shot.

1849
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 4: With the rappers I'm talking about, and if I say

1850
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 4: the names, I'm gonna set the Internet on fire. But

01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: You heard me when they got that was a rap?

1854
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1855
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 2: And I think about That's why I say, brother, I

1856
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 2: know it's kind of uncomfortable for me to bring this up,

1857
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 2: but I think about this stuff.

1858
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 4: And it makes me uncomfortable. They're like, wait, no, God,

1859
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 4: I grew up on this person music. I could wrap

1860
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 4: all their lyrics. They are legend where I come from,

1861
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 4: or their legends to hip hop. But clearly they burning

1862
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 4: in hell right now because everything that they glorified and

1863
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,599
Speaker 4: represented and promoted was all the stuff that goes against

1864
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 4: what God tells us. And it was like never any

1865
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 4: remorse or repentance. Why because they got caught up in

1866
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 4: the cycle of the world celebrated them for pushing all

1867
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 4: the wrong messages. And then it's like some people they

1868
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 4: didn't grow old, like my grandpa will be ninety three

1869
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 4: and have time to maybe be on that deathbed and

1870
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 4: repent and da da da.

1871
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 5: Some of them they was in the midst of doing

1872
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 5: some crazy stuff.

1873
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm gonna give you that. You can't take

1874
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: that away.

1875
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 2: But you never know what a person do before they

1876
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,640
Speaker 2: step out their house because me right, you just met me.

1877
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people watching the show, they

1878
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,120

1881
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 2: before I step on that stage, and before I eat,
