Once 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:51.359 that ship stopped, you fucked right. The other part about 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.480 this game is like understanding that hits run this game, 0:21:55.680 --> 0:22:00.119 hit records make this ship go round, right, you know so? 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.520 But also it's morals. It's also morals, you know what 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:07.560 I'm saying. Morals go a long way too. Money. Money 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:11.600 don't money all money and good money. And I tell 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.640 people all the time, especially younger artists. I tell them 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:16.480 because you know, you talk to these guys and you 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.240 don't want to kill their dreams. But all they seem 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.639 to be fixated on is the money sometimes, and I 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:27.720 tell them that money doesn't necessarily guarantee your happiness. It doesn't. 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.840 They don't guarantee your happiness. I know a bunch of 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:35.040 miserable millionaires, man, but they'd be scared. Like I was 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:37.239 just man, I was around the artists last night, man 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.439 and ship fun my whole fucking night up.

I have nothing 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:35.840 to gain by giving you this information. That is the 0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:38.440 best information you could possibly get because there's nobody on 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.159 your team is gonna tell you this because you know what, 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:45.399 everybody your team kissing your ass.

You can always throw that ship in the 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.280 trash can when you get outside. Like, if it's somebody's 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:15.280 telling you some ship, you me wait, just like, hey, man, 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:18.960 let me least take it, evaluate it and the ship 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:20.440 that I don't think that works for me.

Well, you 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:25.720 know one thing my mom used to tell me, man, 0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:29.120 she still always tell me that some people a lie 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.240 is way more convenient than the truth. A lot of 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:33.560 people just want their egos correst and they don't want 0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:36.040 to hear the truth. You know, like, um, when you 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:38.920 tell an artist, man, um, because you know, the thing 0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:40.520 that you should trip me out is people that will 0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.240 come to me and say they want a record deal, 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:44.560 and I would the needs will be people that have 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.200 incredible buzzes, and I would be like, you know, all 0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:51.800 they're going to do is give you a loan.

And you know, 0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.159 when you get that one person in that office that 0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:20.240 has that power to say, hey, man, I'm gonna cut 0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:23.360 this dude's water off just because I can, they can 0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:27.960 and they will do so.

I'm not even Captain like, I'm not capping 0:57:38.160 --> 0:57:42.440 at all. Just just just Summer Walker album. It's one 0:57:42.480 --> 0:57:44.280 of the best R and B albums in the last 0:57:44.320 --> 0:57:46.160 two years, bro. And you know the reason why I 0:57:46.200 --> 0:57:50.960 say that, she's twenty three years old. She's talking about 0:57:52.000 --> 0:57:59.720 the struggle of a female trying to not just a 0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:04.320 but to survive her mental you know what I mean. 0:58:04.840 --> 0:58:08.280 It's a fun up situation today because you're living online 0:58:08.640 --> 0:58:11.840 and I don't, like, I've never seen and I felt like, 0:58:12.040 --> 0:58:19.800 you know, I've never seen someone so uh, I've never 0:58:19.880 --> 0:58:23.200 seen nobody lived in their life in front of the 0:58:23.320 --> 0:58:29.120 world like she has and unapologetically. You know, it's hard 0:58:29.200 --> 0:58:32.960 to do that. It's hard, yes, and but at the 0:58:33.000 --> 0:58:37.160 same time, I have to respect because respect because it's 0:58:37.200 --> 0:58:39.640 like she don't that's her way of that's her way 0:58:39.680 --> 0:58:44.640 of expressing herself. You know. I had an amazing time 0:58:45.240 --> 0:58:48.400 working with with Summer men and I work with a 0:58:48.440 --> 0:58:50.520 lot of great artists men, but this has been uh, 0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:53.120 a real pleasure because I was in like you know 0:58:53.160 --> 0:58:55.880 what I'm saying. I was able to grow um working 0:58:55.960 --> 0:58:59.080 with her because it wasn't my typical way of dealing 0:58:59.160 --> 0:59:01.080 with artists. You know what I'm saying. That she wasn't. 0:59:03.160 --> 0:59:07.160 She wasn't. Um, she definitely wasn't typical, and she definitely 0:59:07.320 --> 0:59:11.800 wasn't She was completely unusual.

I like to call 0:59:19.560 --> 0:59:24.800 her special, you know. And she has a perspective um 0:59:24.880 --> 0:59:27.080 that a lot of young girls are not able to 0:59:27.200 --> 0:59:33.040 explain what and not just young girl like I could say, 0:59:33.040 --> 0:59:35.240 I could promise you this.
