So since they didn't have us on 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.720 a contract, you know, we were in fear of losing 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.240 our jobs every day because we were live wise. We 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.520 were doing stupid shit at that radio station, things that 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.360 you would get fired for immediately, shock. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:37.920 Jock type shit. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.479 You're like, fine, shock jockshit shock jock is like doing 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:43.880 something that you know, ah, youre. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.200 Talk about against the competitors.

So yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.600 The crazy shit is that at the end of the 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.200 day when I was when once your fantasy came out, 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.280 so I had an independent Wait so. 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.640 What talmow, tmaow, what's your fantasy came up while you're 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:07.280 at the radio station. 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.200 That's I'll cut you quick. 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.560 So the whole story goes, I'm at this station and 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.080 I'm making these you know, little hundreds of dollars here 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.320 and there while I'm hosting these clubs. So I built 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.760 up enough money to where I had about five to 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.519 ten thousand dollars, where I put all that money back 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.960 into my own album. So I'm paying for all my 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.200 record and all my mix and all my mastering. And 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.240 this is a time when Vinyl was still out, So 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.240 I pressed this whole fucking CD together and I had 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.440 the vinyl and everything, and then I distributed independently, even 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:38.880 though first you kind of sell the shit out to 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.240 trunk and there was an independent distributor in Atlanta. So 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.760 once I started put I put the shit out. But 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.680 the craziest, most dynamic, strategic part about this whole. 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:49.480 Plan is in radio. 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.440 As you know, as time goes on, everybody at radio 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.720 they moved a different city, so a lot of people 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.440 don't stay in one particular slot in one city at 0:02:58.440 --> 0:02:58.760 the time. 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:00.920 So during that to four years. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.200 That I told you, I was up there trying to 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.520 get put on as Ludicris, and it eventually had to 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.040 invest in myself. I had a lot of friends in 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.520 different places that had dispersed all around the country. So 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.359 I literally told them, yo, I got this single. It's 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.120 called What's Your Fantasy? Just give it a fucking try 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.720 on your station, other stations, my friends, so I had 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.600 a network, but it was all it was all a plan. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.080 So they started playing it. The ship gets instant reaction, obviously, 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.919 instant reaction on there on their channels. So once the 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.840 ship started to blow up and I yes, spins, which 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.800 is what's giving me. We had like eight hundred bdspins 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.040 on our independent artists, which was unfucking heard of. So 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.480 this is when all the labels started calling me. Before 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.520 I get to that, we motherfucking started calling my cell phone. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:46.800 I don't even know how to fuck they got my 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.520 cell phone. I'm talking about CEOs at every goddamn label, 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.160 and you know, that's another story for another day. But 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.680 ended up signing with Death Jam and they sent me 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.360 my contract, and I remember being on air and all 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.640 those times that this station made me feel like I 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.920 could get fired every fucking day, signing my contract while 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.320 I was still on the air, and that being one 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.800 of the best fucking days of my life. Knowing that 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.520 I didn't tell them to go fuck themselves or nothing. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.560 I was Radio I love I just literally after I 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.440 signed that contract with him and said, hey, I probably 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.880 won't be working here anymore, just letting y'all know I'm 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.160 gonna put my two weeks in Okay. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:27.360 In two weeks of life. But how did you? No? 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.560 Symbolic as fuck? So the crazy shit is, you know 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.279 DJ Gregg Street. Greg Street was my competitor. So he's 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.760 on this other station that you everything you do is 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.440 competing against the other station. And we were on the 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.400 same time slide, which is six to ten. So the 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.360 moment when What's your Fantasy started gaining traction and I'm 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.400 on the air the same as him, and this motherfucker 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.600 started playing What's your Fantasy, somebody text me and was like, Yo, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.760 Greg Street is playing your song right now. I said, 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.720 I'm not believing that shit. So were on commercial break. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.680 I turned to this but Bucker station and I hear 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.640 my song on the competitors station, and I. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:01.960 Was like, that's quick. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.080 I fucking made it one of the best days of 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:08.400 my life.
