I mean basically, yeah, I mean, but you 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.640 know it ain't it ain't in my position to even 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.240 give advice. You know, I'm gonna stay out of that 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.399 because it was rocking together, tough and tight for some years. 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:37.000 So I gotta gotta be something they can work out. Things. 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.000 Changes the label though, because it seemed like initially back 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:41.160 in the day, I was like, it seems like a 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.720 family unite. Now it really just seems like artists signed 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.000 to a label. Well, we grow older, you know, and me, 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:49.960 I'm kind of like the new the new kid on 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.240 the block right now, so it's all starting over for me. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.280 You know, I'm more family orientated now, So I do 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.480 a lot of things with my family, and you know, 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.760 whatever time I have outside of that, you know, business, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.480 so it's first. But whatever spare time I have outside 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.320 of that, I spent it, you know, with my family. 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.280 And as it I don't don't do nothing else. Do 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.079 you still feel like, do you look at cash Money 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.079 and other artists there as your family, because I'm sure 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:14.959 when you were coming up, it was really you that 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.920 kind of made a label hot, you know, to begin with, 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:18.920 I still look at and I don't look at it 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.480 like that though, either because you know, on the outside 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.400 looking in, it looked like I made a label hot, 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.720 but the reality was when we went to the studios, 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.240 we was recording songs and not knowing who Alvin they 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.840 was actually going on. So they were kind of like, oh, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.720 it was a kind of group efforts. So I ain't 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.720 gonna take credit for that, but I will take credit 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.520 for you know, hi and back that thing up. Stuff 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.959 like that. But you know, do you look at this 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.040 family though, or are you now like, Okay, this is business. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:45.880 I look at it. I look at it like a 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.680 bunch of a family that now have other responsibilities that 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.640 a family that used to be a family that have 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:56.560 their own families and responsibility, you know, and we ain't 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.160 got kids. We ain't got kids. I got kids, Baby 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.320 got kids. Slim, I don't even know Slim black kids all. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.720 I'm not sure, but I don't even I don't know 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:10.040 because I don't know. Nobody never gets mad at Slim's Slim. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.799 And everybody be mad at bird Man, coming at bird Man, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.320 but nobody's ever like Slim on me money. Slim moved 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:21.240 like he said, dope, Slim a good dude. Man, Slim, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.720 Slim a good dude. He kind of like a straight 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.400 business man. He don't like the camera to light, none 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.320 of that. And you try to get things done, you know, 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.519 Slim a good dude. You keep in contact with the 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.040 big Yeah, well, I mean not not phone phone wise, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.800 but I keep in contact with his people, so I 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.480 know what the situation is. Yeah, and what about young Bud. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.960 You know, since he came home, I know, I haven't 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.680 seen him. Yeah, I haven't seen him since he came home. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.120 I'm glad he home though, you know, because he was 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.920 signed to you right well, I got signed. He was 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.640 part of the click. I didn't have him signed though. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.440 He was kind of like he was with cash, money 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.440 and then when I started doing my UTP thing, I 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.240 took him along with me. So he was signing with 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.360 cash money. He wouldn't sign, oh, but he was never signed, 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.600 but it was it was gonna happen. Would you ever 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.840 imagine you didn't sign it and do the paperwork? Now? Really? 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.320 Because I like, again, it was family, you know, I 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.440 looked at Buckets family and I wanted to see him 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.280 do good. And I kind of like was kind of 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.800 pulling fifty arm on taking him in a little bit. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.359 So I was kind of hoping he took you know, everybody. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.240 But you know, it didn't work out like that. But 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.480 it was a good thing. You wanted to sign for 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.440 fiftyears up here. He said, you had interest in Lloyd 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.480 Banks too. That's what That's what young Buck told him. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:34.280 That's the whole nother story that ain't true. That's what 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.120 the dispute was about. To be honest with you, Yeah, 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.560 what was what was the dispute? Like he thought I 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.000 wanted to sign Lloyd Banks. I didn't even have a 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.520 deal at the time. You remember, you an also being 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:47.800 that he thought you wanted to sign Lloyd, He was like, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.839 let me go get one of his guys now, that 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.760 really won the situation. It was kind of like Buck 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.280 wanted to be with so went through the asked Buck, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.000 you know, I would like to talk about Yeah, other 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.680 people really in my thing. I come up here to 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.920 talk about what I got going on? What you got 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.880 going on? Juvid No, I got a mixtape coming out 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.200 called Marty Brought Me, Skipping Me Skipping Cali Ya Yata 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.279 album we're working on together. Let's get it with you 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.840 for a minute. Yeah, we're still running. And then outside 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.520 of that, man, you know, you know, we got a 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.120 whole bunch of music. We don't got a lot of 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.400 cats from New Orleans. I'm giving a chance, that's what 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.160 we got going How do you stay relevant in this time? 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.960 You know, because it's a young kids game and you've 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.440 been in the game for a while, a long time. 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:34.600 Sot and beat them, join them, simplest that, man, don't 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.719 hate on them, you know because I remember when you know, 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.480 our generation was called a young generation and you had 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.080 all the older cats, and you know this from being 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.360 a DJ. The all the older cats ain't want to 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.360 see you break records. They won't. You know, things wasn't 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.200 going away. You wanted it to go because you know 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.600 they felt like they paved the way for you. Well, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.480 I don't look at it like that. I look at 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.919 it like, man, let's get this money. I see you 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.919 making that money. Can I can I make some of 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.839 that money with you? So I see it and you 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.719 ain't back it. You came up in the era when 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.000 nor I didn't like the South. They pushed back on 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.200 the South before whatever cash money broke through, I didn't 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:12.440 say cash money Julie broke through. The man, what is 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.160 that not the like about somebody that's being itself though, 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.440 you know, I think it's I think it's it's real 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.200 when somebody being itself. And he kind of liked walking 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.680 the same, you know, the same walk of life as you. 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.440 I come from the bottom of living the ghetto. I 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.159 lost everything. You know, it's everybody go through the same thing. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.839 And I think when I came out, everybody kind of 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.600 felt me more, not because I was from the South, 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.360 because I was talking I was I was talking the 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.960 same things that they was going through, and I think 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.800 that related to everybody. Right. How do you feel when 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.000 you first heard jay Z jump on the high record? 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.600 I was excited as anybody, I said, nine New York 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.039 Love you heard it, like we heard it like on 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.039 the radio or someone did somebody call it?

I can't get the words out of 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.680 my mom. Wow, I gotta go to New Orleans this weekend. Actually, yeah, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.880 they're closing the CALLI Project.

Yeah, they didn't pretty much 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:03.960 told a lot of it down, but they're gonna really 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.160 blow it up. I think. I think the closing is 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.080 on Saturday. They're doing a whole black party closing them 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.880 down and they're building new ones. Wow, let's Magnolia like 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:17.520 now new nice. You wouldn't know it if you saw it. 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:21.800 Nothing like the video in the running the hood folks up. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.679 They got a lot of them in. But they did this. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.880 This is not just going on in our city. They 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.120 did the same thing. Did ever sit everywhere? And believe me, 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.440 the same thing that happened. I think they did it here. Yeah, 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.760 the same thing. And you know, people get to keep that. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.360 Some of us get to come back. You know, that's 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.360 and that's everywhere. Some of them get to come back. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.160 Not everybody. I don't know if they hand picking or what, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.960 but it's not everybody coming back. When that happened, that 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.720 happened like like actually right now they got white people 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:58.840 living in the Magnolia. That never happened. Yeah, that's right now. Yeah, 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.600 that happened after Corina, like after Katrina. All this after Katrina. Damn, 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.840 when they started moving people out before Katrina, they like 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.679 I think they planned it before Katrina, but they actually 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.199 went along with it when Katrina hit. He still did 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.199 Katrina with a conspiracy? I mean, of course his mother 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.200 nature do really, I really do. Man. You know I 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.719 said that before when I came here, and and if 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:24.080 you don't believe me, I think Hurricane Betsy. Um that 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.840 was in the nineteen fifty four fifty one. Same thing happened. 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.200 So I got a something went right right there. Hi 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.560 happened twice. Your son is rapping? Yeah, explaining how does 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.040 that feel like your son rapping twenty two? Oh? Okay, 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:44.480 bro school in school? Um? Crazy, it's something he kept 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.559 away from it. Be honest with you. How did you 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.920 find out he was rapping? One day? He just walked 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:56.360 walking just like daddy boy. You high say, man, when 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.079 you started, I thought that was somebody song. I say, 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.400 who song that is? Say this mine? I see how 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:07.120 you playing? Take say something else. Then he started kicking 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.120 different stuff, and I was like, man, you really can 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.120 surprised he signed. You signed him right away pretty much 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.920 started something ugh for him to do his own things right. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:17.600 I don't subbant you to move that from in front 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.160 of him, because I see you looking at this weird 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:24.760 things on this table. Oh my shiny honey, ain't got 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:32.000 nothing to do with that white and cream for your anus. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.520 We don't even know now it was wrapped still your 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.640 primary source of income. I mean we got other things, 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:44.160 you know, legal things too, you know, I got I 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.640 got other things. I'm venturing off. And so I've always 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.720 been somebody who do other things. Got yeah, because you said, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.720 you know, your more family oriented now. So wrappers like 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.360 to the back burner a little bit. Well not really, 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.720 because everything that I do comes off a rap, so 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:02.280 not not not necessarily and I'm always performing. So um, 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.480 you know, to me, my my being away for a minute, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.200 it was a good thing for me because now I 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.000 know what I need to do. When you talk to yourself, 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.720 what are you tell him about things that you learn 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.120 when you were coming up in some of the pit 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.360 falls and things to avoid? Because I'm sure you have 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.080 to give him some advice about this music business. I know, 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:19.880 we know with him is a lot of things that 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.240 I always tell him. I said, well, I don't want 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.800 to be the person to not tell you, and you 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.560 know you do you have something that come along and 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.320 you're like, damn, my dad, it could have told me that. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.760 But I tell him a lot that self experience is 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.880 the best experience. But try to make yourself. Experience is 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.760 good experiences, you know, and you try to be wise 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:40.760 because I can't be out there to whole his hand 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.760 every day, you know. And and man, it's life could 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.560 be so cruel on you when you when you're not 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.800 raised right and you weren't talk right. So my whole 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.240 thing with him is I just want him to be 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.280 his own man and learn, you know, have have his 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.240 own experience. He gave him a fair contract. No, he 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.240 don't have a contract, got his own thing. Have you 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.240 adjusted to the rap game now? Like, I'm sure things 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:02.960 have changed a lot. I mean, as long as they're 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.080 rapping and rhyming, I think, I think, I'm I'm I'm good. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.280 It's like jay Z like man, as long as they're ryman, 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.679 I'm good. All about rhyming and timing your own social 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.760 media not the best, You're not that good at it. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.160 I was like, okay, and I was coming up. Let 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.040 me check out what here. I thought Julie tweet was 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:28.360 car burning and Virginia. I ain't every day with that, man, 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.800 I'm still learning. Every time I come up here, somebody 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.760 hitting me with like, man, why you know, I'm like, man, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.440 I don't know man, do you think it's important for you? 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.120 I think it is important. I'm just I'm telling you, 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:40.920 I'm trying to catch up. I'm not good at it. 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.280 I really do think it's important. I put that back. 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.120 That ass crawled up, looked like when you perform that 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.720 song now, like older people, mama's it's older, it's mama's, 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.840 it's mama's at jungsters don't say that's my mama's song. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.200 I get a lot of it, and it's a lot 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.440 of women that used to be you know, have nice 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.520 shapes ten years ago. But you know, I want to 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.760 talk about my fans though, because they still holding out 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.760 y'all talking about I Let y'all ever see any of 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.640 the old video checks you had in back that ass 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.720 a video. I saw one of them, one of them, 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.880 and she she actually she was real skinny, so she 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:19.400 actually looked good even better. Now, Um, it wasn't named 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:24.200 Mo Mo man, I can't. I can't even they got name, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.440 but she was. She was one of them. But man, 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.520 I probably walked past them in Do you think that 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.080 song would have the life it has had? No? I mean, 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.240 you know, you never know what tell it happened. So 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.560 I mean it's still do his thing. I mean, I 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.680 just did the Zulu Ball, man, it was funny. Zulu Ball. 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.720 Zulu Ball is like the one of the one of 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.960 the biggest black events in New Orleans during the Marty 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.880 Gas time. You know, they have their own parade and 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.120 they have it's it's an organization too. And and man, 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.960 when I tell you it was twenty thousand people in there, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.680 like twenty thousand people in the convention center, black people 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.720 cutting up.
