I don't that's that's extra. 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, it was cool to have Joe 18 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: Button back in the hot seat, you know what I mean. 19 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: I never thought it would have happened, but you know, 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: sometimes all you have to do is ask. Closed mouths 21 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: don't get fed. So b I cr Boy, one of 22 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: our classic Rap Rtorum podcast episodes came up Drake obviously, 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: which was the game changer. Yeah, that team. You know, 24 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: Drake dennounced he's doing his show in New York. I 25 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: guess the Apollo Theater, so you know, I feel it's 26 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: very hip hop and all that. And you asked him 27 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: the classic question man about would you ever do a 28 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: B side show? Yeah, I think it's time for Brake 29 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: or do a B side show. I feel like the 30 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: Sage jay Z, who I guess you could say, pioneered 31 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: the B side show. I feel like Drake's the only 32 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: artist were rap artist that could kind of uh following 33 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: that footstep. He has so many records, like you don't 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: know which way to go, and like when he does 35 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: he shows, even though he's on stage for almost like 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: two hours, you still looking for other records that you know, 37 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: you haven't heard in a long time. Yeah, so people 38 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: that don't know when we say B sides, it's just 39 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: like the non singles, just the records, like the songs 40 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: that kind of taken on the life of their own, 41 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily the singles, but something like Cameras Off Take Care. Yeah, 42 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: come if he comes out the Tuscan Leavel like imagine, 43 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: it just comes out, just gets in the Tuscan Leather 44 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: from Nothing was the same album, which to entry everybody loves. 45 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: But do you think that I saw people speculate We 46 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: have no insight, right, we don't know what this guy 47 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: is doing really at the follow but it looks like 48 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: we might be planning to see to But I think 49 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: even complex marn with it that they ran the clip 50 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: about the B side sort of handing at maybe that's 51 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: what he's up to with this sort of small intimate show. Yeah, 52 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know, and honestly I don't want 53 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: to know. I'd rather just you don't want to know. No, 54 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 1: Like you know what, there's not too much things, too 55 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: many things to be excited about nowadays in the game, 56 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: and I feel like I just want to be a 57 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: fan again and just enjoy it in real time in 58 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: the moment. So you know, if Drake does do a 59 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: B side show, I don't want to know what the 60 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: setler's looks like. I just want to experience it, you know, 61 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: as a fan. What if this is coming? Because again 62 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: I think that people may not know they they may know, 63 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: may not know that me and you guys want mean, 64 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: we both agree that we weren't the biggest fans of 65 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: the biggest of the latest project correct the Dance album. 66 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: It was honestly never mind. You know, it's crazy, like 67 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: I was starting to make my beat that list of 68 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: looking at the year and like like, this is the 69 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: first time I don't think I'm gonna have a Drake 70 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: album in my top ten. That's crazy. But but I 71 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: also still feel like he's still number one in the 72 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: game though it's so weird to me. Yeah, I don't 73 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: think he lost his status in my in my in 74 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: my book, but that album I can't really rock with 75 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: for some reason, I just don't go back to it. Yeah, 76 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: I can't get jiggy with that album as well. But 77 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: it's ill. Is like Drake's celebrity is so high, it's 78 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: like it's the highest it's ever been. But musically with 79 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: that album, I can't really rock with it as well. 80 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: But he's still capable of delivering you know, a thirty 81 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: point verse, you know with like yeah church Churchill's downs, 82 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: like he's still capable of, you know, doing what he 83 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: does best. So so speaking about like how he gets 84 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: the capable of just dropping some hip hop stuff, like 85 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: I've seen some speculation like like a scary hour is 86 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: like this, even if he only gives us three songs, 87 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: like three very much hip hop rap songs, so he 88 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: could do it at the apology. You think he might 89 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: pull that off? I think so. I mean, Drake has 90 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: he's kind of unpredictable, but he's calculated as well, So 91 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: I think I wouldn't be mad at like a little 92 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: three track EP something like that, you know, five track 93 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: just to hold us over. And you know what's so ill? 94 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: Is like like he could drop it the day before 95 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: and the day after day of the show. Everyone's gonna 96 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: know it. Yeah, so you're definitely going on the show, 97 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to fly back. We're gonna see 98 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: him speaking in because you can't buy tickets, right, so 99 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: I'm not to talk to a guy maybe one of 100 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: the over your guys, because sneaking through the back door 101 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: would be are you speaking like that Spright show he 102 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: had back in the day with Yeah, Actually I ended 103 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: up in the commercial.

Really, 327 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: just you know, experience, I guess just moving around, having 328 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: a lot of different conversations, dating a lot, just being out, 329 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I guess just being outside. 330 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: Just experience. I think I just kinda pulled from things 331 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: that I go through. Yeah, but I mean that's just 332 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: the you know, the writing in the songs. But like 333 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: the and I'm I'm gonna make this disclaiming right now, 334 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: because motherfucker's begetting all confused. The skits are fictional. That's fictional. 335 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: Not that's not real. That's no, that's not based off 336 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: no real life experience. That was a script and we 337 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: wrote it and we acted out. But yeah, but the music, yeah, 338 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: that's that all cared from real life experience. That's how 339 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: something you said that you try to even like it 340 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: Shakespearean like the storytelling if you're the sequencing of the 341 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: album you talking about that, Yeah, it's it's it's It's 342 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: one thing to have a um, a way that you 343 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: write your music or perspective where it comes from. But 344 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: I feel like having a story arc is another element 345 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: to kind of elevated all together. Um. So, really the 346 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: Skits was more to give it context. I wanted it 347 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: to have that that classic protagonists with the fatal flaw, 348 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: with the moments of clarity and the time where he 349 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: comes to realization and uh ends triumphantly. You know. I 350 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: wanted some way to turn it into this this this storyline, 351 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: this narrative versus it just me and a playlist. Did 352 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: you have this idea of putting the skits in there too, 353 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: because it really contextualized the art. Yeah. I always love 354 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: skits though, like I grew up like listening to the 355 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: dog powner Ship. So I just I like the um 356 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: the classic hip hop elements of just skits like these 357 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: nuts and all that I love. Yeah, And I read 358 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: also that you made this album and a lot of 359 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: different cities, similar to like how he was doing the Pandemic. 360 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: Which city I guess you found the most creativity from? 361 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: Was it Seattle or naturally? L A? Just because this 362 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: is where I've recorded so much music at for so long. 363 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: So most of my sessions are always in l A 364 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: because it's my whole support system is it's easy to 365 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: get in the studio, my engineer, live out here and 366 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: produce a live out here smooth but lately like New York. 367 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: New York gave me a lot of inspiration and gave 368 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: me a lot of inspiration. The Bahamas gave me a 369 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: lot of inspiration. I had locked him with the dream 370 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: out there. Um, I had locked him with the Neptunes 371 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: when I was in Miami. So just like I said, 372 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: every place really right, Yeah, that that neptune is Drake Beat. 373 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: I said, that's a classic. I think it's a classic 374 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: record appreciation. It's a classic. It's like the shortest five 375 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: minute song of all time. Yeah, and it has heavy 376 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: replay value, like talk about that session and how that 377 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: came about. It was really smooth. We did the other 378 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: Tone interview. I was in Atlanta. We did that during 379 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: COVID the Zoom interview. He Hi was just like coming 380 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: come to Miami, let's work on some ship. So it 381 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: was smooth. I gotta went him and Chad and knocked 382 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: it out like real Netah and knocked it out like 383 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: in the day, you know what I mean. And then um, 384 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: I sent it to Drake because we was going back 385 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: and forth about doing records anyway we have. We got 386 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: like a couple of ideas that just never dropped. Just 387 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: stuff were just sent back and forth. Um, so he 388 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: cut that ship like two days. Man responsible for putting 389 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: Drake on the Neptune's beat man for the first time. Yeah, 390 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: but I didn't even know that that hadn't happened. I 391 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: was just thinking, like I was already talking about about 392 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: to collapse. I got a song that I think he's 393 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: so hard. I don't even know that that hadn't happened before. 394 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: So I think that's pretty cool. That's insane. And they 395 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: both got so many hit records and don't have no 396 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: music together. Like I was like, man, that's hard. But 397 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: like being that record came out a year ago and 398 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: you're an independent artist and you feel pressure to put 399 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: out an album because the record had so much success. 400 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't never feel no pressure to put out nothing. 401 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: To be real with you at all, just like if 402 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: if if I want to put something, I put out. 403 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: If I don't, I don't UM. I do feel pressure 404 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: to challenge myself creatively more something anything like just to 405 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: to make something I haven't made, or two to um 406 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: speak about something I haven't spoken about, but to just 407 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: put out music now. I don't really think think of 408 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: it like that because you know, usually you know how 409 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: it is ELI and artist has a hit, it's like 410 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: a pressure to come out with something else to follow 411 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: up with it. I don't. I don't really think like that. 412 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: If it's a hit, then like let it keep hitting, 413 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: Like I'll do a two part song next. Keep it. 414 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: You mentioned the dream. You give him a good nickname, 415 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: you call him the finisher. Why he's the finisher man? Look, 416 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: because I'll be stuck, bro. I would work on the record. 417 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: I got really bad Eddie D. So I'll work on 418 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: the record for a certain amount of time. I could 419 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: be in the studio for what an hour or two 420 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: hours something like that, and I'd be like, put up 421 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: the next one, put up the next song, because I 422 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to ruin the idea, 423 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: but by trying to finish it too quick, so it 424 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: might start off super strong, and then by the end 425 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: of the session, when I'm all burnt out, it ends 426 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: up being some bullshit. So you know, I feel like 427 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: I get my freshest ideas when I bring in a 428 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: fresh out of ears and I might come through it. 429 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: Finished that ship with a quickness. It makes me feel 430 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: like I might even gonna hold you. The first time 431 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: that should happened, I was like, damn, I need to 432 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board. I was like maybe 433 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: twenty when I first met Dream and we locked in 434 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: the studio, so it's it's been years. I was working 435 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: with Bro and like he put up to the studio, 436 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: Bro some ship that I have been stuck on working on, 437 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: and he come to the studio and he finished that 438 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: motherfucking like thirty seconds type ship, Like going and do 439 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: put up the next one? Put the next one, put 440 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: the next one. I'm like, they're good making me look 441 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: crazy out here because you're a great rid of yourself, Like, 442 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: does it put you a lot of a lot of 443 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 1: people don't know that the world was in fl once 444 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: about the sessions that I had been doing with him, 445 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: because I I had we had been working together before 446 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: that project even came out. So he was the one 447 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: that really showed me like, when you get on the record, 448 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: you could just say whatever the funk you want, so 449 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: fun the world wouldn't happened had I not been working 450 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: with Dream prior to that. So that's like where a 451 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: lot of the shift happened in my music and where 452 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: where I write music from. So there's like no ego. 453 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: You let him do his thing, even though if it's 454 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: your own creation. Yeah, hell yeah. But that showed me 455 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: I don't gotta think too much. I came into the 456 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: music thinking that I was trying to find some hit 457 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: formula or find some way of doing it. Um, that's 458 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: what everybody teaches. You gotta find some forming that, you 459 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: gotta find some way record, you gotta have some structure, 460 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: you gotta So it took me getting into the studio 461 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: with somebody who got hit records that you know, has 462 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: that massive catalog to tell me you're thinking to that much. 463 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: You know how many songs on the new album, it's 464 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: like four or five songs. I think he can five 465 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: of them, like four or five. Was that a key 466 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: moment where on the album that his contribution helped bring 467 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: a song along? It sticks out in your mind? Uh, 468 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: rolling Stone, bad Luck? Um, it's quite a few, yeah, 469 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: ghetto Gas. Yeah. You also give a lot of props 470 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: to another producer, Jordan where al read that you said 471 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: he's responsible for constructing the sounds. That's that's my brother man. 472 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: I've known Jordan's for years, like since I was nineteen eighteen, 473 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: Like I'm knowing Jordan's. We got music together, like hell 474 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: of stuff didn't come out, but during the pandemic, like 475 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: we were sending ideas back and forth because I was 476 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: in the studio and something about them strings was just 477 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: pulling me. Bro I'm like, this is moving me. What 478 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: is it about these strings? It's just like I don't know, 479 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: It's just it's bringing the lyrics out. Because like people 480 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: could send ideas do like all day every day, like 481 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: whether it be guitar loops or or or or piano loops. 482 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: Because I like to work very minimalistic. I don't like 483 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: to record on full beats, like just sending me a 484 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: loop and I'll write the whole song and we can 485 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: produce it out afterwards. And um, he would send me 486 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: these string loops and for whatever it was, it was 487 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: like that's how I was feeling at his own, So 488 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: I just it was the only thing that made me 489 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: like right, I had real bad writers block for a 490 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: little bit, and he was sending them strings and it's 491 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: like the words would just come out. So like we 492 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: and we locked in and got damn everything done the 493 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: whole album pretty much. How long did it take to 494 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: construct this album? M I said, like a good two years? 495 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: Two years? Wow, good to years if we're including the 496 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: records and they drop prior to them and working on 497 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: those records as well, like a good two years I 498 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: have recorded. There are songs that I recorded before the 499 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: records released that you know what I'm saying, that I 500 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: had already had set aside for the album. Ghetto Gas 501 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: and Loose Change. These records were recorded before gravity and 502 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: wasting time and all that, but the other ones just 503 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: came out first. I just put them to the side. Okay, 504 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: Now you begin the album with Georgia Smith on Villain's team, Like, 505 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: why do you think she was the right voice for 506 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: that song? That's the home? I don't George forever um, 507 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: but these just conversations we have a lot, you know. 508 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: I mean I was curious if it like she serves 509 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: as your conscious before the album begins. Yeah, it's the 510 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: it's the it's the back and forth, right the That's 511 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: why I got to pitch down vocals, pitched up vocals, 512 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: the just that that back and forth. I kind of 513 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: approached it with how things sound in my head sometimes 514 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: when you're having multiple conversations or it's multiple people speaking 515 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: to you, it's multiple like voices or ideas to the 516 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: point where like it just comes out like so, I 517 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: feel like that was my perfect way of I guess 518 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: trying to sonically um display like how shit sounded my mom. 519 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: In the conversation, you discussed the word toxic and you're 520 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: saying that's just a Twitter word. Do you feel like 521 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: everything is just categorized as toxic nowadays? But I'll be 522 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: so tired of hearing that don't work talking about something else. 523 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm toxic now. I ain't gonna hold you. I'm toxic out, 524 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: Like do you hate when people label your music. That 525 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: does it offend you? Um? No, I mean it used to. 526 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: Like when I first heard that ship, I was just 527 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: kind of like what because that was never that was 528 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: never the intention. Imagine You're just writing records that come 529 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: from your heart, and motherfucker's deemed you with like toxic 530 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: or something like that. You're like, damn that that hurts 531 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: a little bit, Like what the funk? I was just 532 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: keeping it real like, but now I don't really take 533 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: it like that In your mind? Is really more about honesty, 534 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: right is that? Is that like your strongest trade? And 535 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: you absolutely, I just I just want to write from 536 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: a real place. I don't want to sugarcoat nothing nor 537 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: lie just because I'm singing it. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, 538 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: I feel like it ain't I don't want to. I've 539 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: done that, you know what I'm saying about this, this 540 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: and um the last thing I want. And I thought 541 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: about this early on when I did a lot of 542 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: touring and started meeting fans for the first time. Um, 543 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: you write records with a certain formula in mind, on 544 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 1: a certain perspective, because that's all you know in the beginning, right, 545 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: So if you learn like you you sing, this is 546 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,239 Speaker 1: R and B music. You make love records, you do 547 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: verse hook, verse, hook bridge, you feel me hook, and 548 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: then you finish the record, and then that's what you're going. 549 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You go, boys to man, 550 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: you go, and that's just what it is. But I 551 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: grew up like listening to rap music, So because I 552 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: grew up listening to hip hop, I love the way 553 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: R and B sounded sonically, but when it came to perspective, 554 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: I didn't listen to it for like like like two 555 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: for relatability, you know what I'm saying. I didn't listen 556 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: to R and B music for like perspective or relatability 557 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: or some way of living my life too. I listened 558 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: to rap for that ship. So I felt like, to me, 559 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: that's what R and B was missing, was just perspective. 560 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: I don't like just listening to records that sounds good 561 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: where it's just words. I like to be able to 562 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: people whole narrative and find some some opinions about it 563 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: or something just something. There's got to be some dialogue 564 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: that's had, so um, I think that's what That's what 565 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: I've kind of like just honed in on is just 566 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: making sure that the music has perspective versus it just 567 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: being some ship that you sing just because you're saying 568 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: people want you to sing sweet nothing, you know what 569 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: I mean? Literally like just sing some sweet ship into 570 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: my ear and that's all I want to hear. But 571 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: I feel like some ship gotta have some perspective, and 572 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: I think that's what separates my music. It's funny because 573 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: today Puffy tweet out something like who killed R and B? 574 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: And it's always seems like a conversation around, you know, 575 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: challenging the state of R and B, Like is is 576 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: what you know going on now? Meet the standards of 577 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: the past, of the nineties and the two thousands and 578 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: stuff like, I mean, people are so stuck in that 579 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: classic you know, uh R and B, R and B MO, 580 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: R and B trump that it's like, um, there's people 581 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: that wouldn't classify me as R and B honist. There's 582 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: people that's like that ain't R and B. That ain't 583 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: what I know. And if that's the case, and I 584 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: guess not. You know what I'm saying, I personally don't 585 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: live and die by no damn genre. You know what 586 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't like I don't think like this 587 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: is what this is. Like, I really don't care if 588 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: you think it's R and B music cool, if you 589 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: don't think it's RB music cool, Like I don't give 590 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: a ship like that. I'll just be making music. Um, 591 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: people love it, you know the ship honest, I don't 592 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: know what to tell you what the songbo Do you 593 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: think that sometimes people because there is a lot of 594 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, just some a lot of stuff that may 595 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: not be have a lot of substance to it, that 596 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: some of the stuff with substance, like yourself, gets overlooked 597 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: because we look at this newer generation that it's not 598 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: the same as the past. Um. Hell yeah. But that's 599 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: with any genre. That's just music period. That's that's evolution. 600 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: Right since the beginning of time. There's people that have 601 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: been used to music that's been a certain way. Then 602 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: some new ship come out. Then the older motherfucker's hated, 603 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: the young motherfucker's love it, and just go on and 604 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: on like it kind of pitches me off.

You can't even get the record out. They don't. 805 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: They don't speak about it. They speak when they talk 806 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: about the independent rind versus the the major label ground. 807 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: They love to talk about the people that are huge 808 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 1: success stories have been signed, but most people who signed 809 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 1: to labels do not make it out. That's just facts. 810 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: Most of the most of the motherfucker's with them label signed. 811 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: It's just ship don't work. So I started looking at 812 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: it from that perspective. I'm like, yeah, that's facts. UM. 813 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: But for a while I thought that UM. Then UM 814 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: the independent ground was was a UM like a business model, 815 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: or it was UM a way of going about handling 816 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: your business or or or music or or marketing. But 817 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: it's really a mindset, you know what I mean. I'm 818 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: starting to see that the independent model was really like UM, 819 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: I like doing what I want to do, and I like, UM, 820 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: I like being able to to move in a way 821 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: that that um that allows me to preserve like my 822 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: life fem like I can stay private when I want, 823 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: I can step out when I want, I can do 824 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 1: what I want to do. And I feel like when 825 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: you're in that in that rat race, and you have 826 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: these obligations and you've got this this this machine behind you, 827 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: pushing you, pushing you, pushing you, pushing you to give 828 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: so much of yourself, you're gonna lose yourself in the process. 829 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: So I find that, aside from the business and the 830 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: percentages and all that ship, being independent allows me to 831 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: move in my own pace and give my fucker's what 832 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: I want to give them, and not give them what 833 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to give him. And independent grind is 834 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,720 Speaker 1: real tough, and it's also rewarding. Whether ever, ever moments 835 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: where you felt discouraged, like this is not gonna, you know, 836 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: come to fruition the way you wanted to. Yeah, but 837 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: only because I didn't know no better. It was a 838 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: time where I thought that everybody had money except me, 839 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: like like every new artist, I guess, but I thought 840 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 1: that I thought everybody had money, and I didn't have 841 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: no money like I would see my fucker's do these 842 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: music video shoots, and my fucker's got chains and cards 843 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: and all types of ship and I'm in a one 844 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: betroom apartment with folk my fucker's femin So there was 845 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,280 Speaker 1: a time where I was really thinking, bro, why everybody 846 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: got money and I don't got no money? Is it 847 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: because I'm independent? Now? The truth is everybody didn't have 848 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: no money like it was everybody. There's a lot of 849 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: my funcker's that didn't have no their money, but you 850 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: know they don't.

Oh. 1058 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: I thought some shows were gonna be this, some stance 1059 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: will be I don't know what to expect. But every 1060 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 1: show felt like telling every show right, how do you? 1061 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: How do you think you've gotten better as a performer? 1062 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 1: And be like watch your parents or like you study 1063 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 1: game take all the time. I studied everybody. I study 1064 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: everybody like Bobby Brown, everybody right, And I know, like, 1065 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 1: since it's been so long since had those shows, I 1066 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to short change the body. 1067 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 1: People come out and see what they want to experience, 1068 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 1: so I want to give them that power like that 1069 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 1: with the podcast, like it was kind of on the 1070 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: low building up and now the world's hoping the back 1071 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 1: up to like almost like how do we attack this? Right? 1072 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: Let me take it from the next level, right, And 1073 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: that's where it was writing. My bread for the wrongness 1074 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: is just how yeah, like how to do it? Like 1075 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 1: how do how do I post this? And Thisially when 1076 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: I started doing shows, you can't might have been like 1077 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:58,479 Speaker 1: a what two thousand venue, but now everything has grown 1078 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: so much since stead stay doing a lot of video 1079 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 1: and not moving forward. I gotta go from doing five 1080 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: other people fencing other people doing them in ten other 1081 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,879 Speaker 1: people and I I never I didn't get a little 1082 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 1: round with it. So I have to really learn how 1083 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 1: to do um a bigger stage without ever having to 1084 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,319 Speaker 1: experience that before. So I don't I don't even really 1085 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: know what to expect. Well, I know it's gonna be crazy, right, 1086 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 1: and isn't important to kind of doing your own terms 1087 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 1: and see's like obviously could probably doing all this and 1088 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: that's the FRU culture. But is that a decision And 1089 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 1: that's not the right thing to you right now? I 1090 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 1: think for me, it's easier to do a big stage 1091 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: if I can SERI experience yeah, big yeah, that's the thing, right, 1092 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 1: and that should have looked good. But how much of 1093 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 1: that mass is there for you right? As a look, 1094 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 1: I've been studying the stick. I like, I like stings 1095 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 1: last sommer, like gow he's surrounded by it's generous. So 1096 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: I want to like apply just and things like that. 1097 00:49:55,640 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 1: How a strange I have live interrimutation on said and 1098 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: like in the orchestra, I wanted to feel like you're 1099 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: going to a symphony. Okay, I feel like you're a 1100 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 1: coach of production. I remember where like it if i'm 1101 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 1: it's like like you know, sonically it may not be 1102 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: like the most perfect thing, but it's like this is 1103 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 1: the sound that that kind of draws that meg. It's 1104 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 1: just that it's but it is that prettiness in that 1105 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 1: character and that personality that that that makes it like 1106 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: it's the imperfection of make it perfect. Yeah, that's any 1107 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 1: irk you when nobody but somebody may not connect to 1108 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,280 Speaker 1: that part of it or is it it just aren't 1109 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 1: So it's like a subjected I don't know. I don't 1110 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 1: take music takes some hand like I never did. I 1111 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: was never one of the people that like if somebody 1112 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: like it, I'll take it personal, like yeah, music and subjective. 1113 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: It is meant to be. It's meant to be judged. 1114 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 1: That's just how it is. Like I don't know. I 1115 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 1: don't take that too hard. That's what that's what people do. 1116 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 1: We listen and we judging. You take some food and 1117 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: taste good or it tastes bad. I can't. I can't 1118 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: not know why food with the taste. So when you're 1119 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: crafting this settless, how do you figure out what songs 1120 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: you're gonna make because I'm sure there's a lot of 1121 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 1: fair of favorites.
