This 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.720 is exact reason why we started, because we want to 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.040 salute our legends. We want to give up the legends 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.200 they fly. Was why they can smell them while they alive. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.720 These brothers that stand in front of us in a 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.760 lot of ways, If it kind of wasn't for them, 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.040 they probably wouldn't be a Noria opponent, Noriega or drink champs. 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:28.120 They paved their way the label that fun to me. 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.800 They were on first, they were doing it. These guys 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.120 are legends. These guys stood here to the test of time. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.800 They're still making music that are dope. They working on 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.760 the album right now with per Man and Pete Robs. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.600 These brothers are which when you call up, look at 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.520 the word legend, when you look at the world classic legendary, 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.440 their pictures, it's right there. And I am here to 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.760 respect their legacy. And if you don't know who the funk? 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.920 We talked about it to my motherfucking day lines all 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:05.000 now now usually on drink camps. We started off with 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:11.640 the beginning people's careers. But there's a big elephant in 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.560 the room that I feel like I don't want to 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.239 go around it. It's a movie I want to put 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:23.760 in the beginning. Can we popped that bottom? It's the lace. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:29.880 Let's put this hell. Because what people don't know is 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:36.000 everybody hit the internet that said that a certain label 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.799 to which his Tommy Boy Records, which I was signed 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.520 to at one point as well. And I've I've made 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.720 how I uh stand? I said, fuck Tommy Boy. The 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.480 niggas just suck. It was very elegant. It was a 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.120 very elegant statement for what for what it's worked very late, 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.000 I thought for sports on myself. But when I heard 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.880 of the fact that they wanted to take your catalog 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:03.560 and we just tripod at a rate of temper set, 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.880 and that temper set would be split between the three 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.520 of y'all. Yeah, yeah, so how did how did how 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.440 did how did that even come about? Because the music 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:17.880 is not available online? Right, it hasn't been, hasn't been? Why? Yeah? 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.640 Ever not not? I mean we we missed the whole 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.440 that part of the canine. Yeah, before we even get 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.239 to that, let me ask you something. In the original 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:30.280 contracts there never stated anything about digital. Was no language 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.600 at the time, the bank language for it too to 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.120 just happen if it was never there. It was, I 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.760 guess I'm not trying to was specifically cassette by the 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.520 c DSHA and CDs was was was even in eighty nine? 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.680 Was c DS? I think maybe they probably admitted it 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:52.040 just now I was just starting I mean that, Yeah, 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:53.840 I mean it was. It was. It was language in 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:58.480 the contracts, but it was real vague. You know, I'm 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.480 not certain exactly what it said, but it could be 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.280 something like, you know, CDs, cassette, vinyl in any format. 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:10.520 But so he could or any new change for now, 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.800 how did you get um this information? Like a Tommy 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.480 Boy reached out to you guys or you guys weas 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.480 out the time boy if I releasing this and that, Yeah, 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:29.520 I mean Tom Suleman reached out excuse me, individual number one. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.520 he reached out to us, you know, just doing trying 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.760 to do the right business. I got the I got 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.240 the catalog back, and I want to release you guys stuff. Now. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.239 He got it back through Rhino, right because I believe 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.920 Rhino had it because I was trying to get my 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.760 thing back at the same time of that. Paul so um, 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.600 So he comes to y'all and he says he at 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.919 first he wanted to do a deal with it, like 0:04:53.960 --> 0:05:02.279 he or what it was. He presented option, the option 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.960 we spoke about that we felt was unfavorable. It was 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.560 either we do this if we didn't respond at a 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:14.400 certain time, then he would resort back to original contracts, 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:19.720 which was contracts we signed from one. So we responded. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.320 We responded and saying that you know, we responded like 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.800 we were supposed to. Yeah, So it was supposed to 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.120 then go from there, but we didn't really get any 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:35.119 communication going until the final hour, pretty much almost about 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.479 a year. So we kept trying to get in touch 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.520 with him and our lawyers was trying to reach out, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.640 and uh, we heard nothing from because I imagine this 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.119 had to be like the last rout of you guys 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.960 going to the internet. I imagine it was talks, you know, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:55.599 prior to that, well, it was definitely talks. So it 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.960 was a lot of talk, you know, it was evaluated 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.279 what was in front of us and really trying to 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.839 figure out work to do, how to approach him, knowing 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:12.680 knowing who he is. All together we've been in a relationship, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.320 you know how so you truly got to thank for 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.000 your yourself for the team, you know, and you know, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.120 once we became came to a meeting of the minds 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.919 of who we knew we're dealing with, it was time 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.279 to strike. But we didn't give him the opportunity to 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.560 speak in the very final hour. And then speaking in 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.920 the final hour, he didn't want to make any changes. 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.320 And to me now, speaking about my own situation, because 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.080 I tried to get my two albums as well on 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.880 the War Report and one of the things on in 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.800 the r E album, he didn't he didn't want to 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.040 negotiate with me because he said it wasn't be cooped 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.560 And I'm like, who gives a funding this be coop to? 0:06:54.640 --> 0:07:00.800 Not moving forward? Why not split we go? Like you 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.960 know what I'm saying, Like, isn't that the simplest thing? 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.120 Like And I'm not trying to like you know, like 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.240 like you know, be smarter than what I'm supposed to be. 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.560 But what I'm saying is, why wouldn't me go fifty 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.280 fifty alcohol there? I would be happy to promote this ship. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.200 You know what I'm saying. Some of these kids don't 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.480 even don't even like something. So man, this is this 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.240 is an emotional topic for me because I'm directly affected. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:27.400 So when I seen you guys on the internet, um, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.400 moving around a little bit. Let me let me how 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.480 did it feel to see the hip hop community you 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.680 know standwich like, I mean, yeah, it's it's it's always 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.200 a good feeling. Um, we kind of felt there was 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.600 there with you said, so I kind of felt that 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.800 they was there, Okay, you know, just just waiting. I 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.320 mean we you know, from from the climate of what 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:53.240 we felt with our kickstarter. Yeah, you know that climbing 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.960 kind of told us that people out there who care. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.320 So when it was time to sound off, we kind 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.480 of felt like it was gonna we was gonna have, 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:06.400 you know, an alliance. But it turned out a little 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.840 you know, it's it was honestly say, it was comforting. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.080 It felt it made the decision to feel right, you know, 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.320 especially for somebody like hole Hold maybe don't honestly say 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.840 maybe been in the room with him maybe three times 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.160 my whole career, you know, and don't even just know 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.000 each other through the music that spoke voluables. Well, you 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.959 help raise all of us, you know what. It's the 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:45.560 artist absolutely yeah, and then nas Nas question Droby, you 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.839 know master Ace. I mean, I'm sure at one time 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:52.120 or another everybody said this story. So you know, you 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.959 see people coming together, artist fans, whomever, because in some way, 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.760 shape or form, they've either heard it and affected by it, 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.600 you know, let it to it somehow. So I mean 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.880 wet So we had a few records exact people reach 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:14.160 out behind the scenes, you big students. You know what 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.079 I'm saying is like in my mind, I felt like 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.040 it was probably hard for a lot of record exact 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.040 people to speak out. I don't think it is anymore. Well, 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.640 I'm just trying to say, like unless they have dealt 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.920 and done this to other artists themselves, so it's kind 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.120 of hard to be pointing a finger, you know. You 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.199 know what it is. It's kind of fly now to 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.439 own your masters, like you know, like like back then, 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.720 like we weren't really thinking about that, like I'm speaking 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.240 about myself now, yeah, like I was thinking about it advance, 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.840 you know what I'm saying, getting some jury, you know 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.360 what I'm saying. And now I was like, it's like 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.920 it's fly to actually own your your material, you know 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.760 what I'm saying, because we want to leave something to 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.560 your your children. So the thing about it is like 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.520 you haven't seen a person that you know lives in 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.120 the projects for thirty years. They don't they don't own it, 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.839 but it's their house. Yeah, that's what it feels like. 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.360 It was like, you know what I got, I got 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.240 on set literally prices for for not a lest years. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.480 They faint red, but that is there that she feels 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.600 like she owns it. And like the projects, a good 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.800 thing to do do the pro to do is tell 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.199 you know what you should have on that, you know 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.880 what I'm saying, You still on that and that's Tom Sillerman. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.840 If you're listening, because I know you are you. I 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.880 know you are Tom Sillerman, And dude listening, this is 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:36.280 the best time for you to lead the pack. You 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.040 lead the way and say, you know what, I'm gonna 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.600 stop doing business. We're looking at it in this way. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.760 You can take this time and you can flat this 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.400 whole ship and you can be there with us. Say 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.760 you know what, I'm gonna get a friendly presentation so 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.920 everybody and then you feel queen land teeth was gonna 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.920 come out and only body, Nationship and everybody else is 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.080 gonna say, you know what, this is the guy we 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.040 were wishing me with a new back. Then you can 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.960 lead the path. You can lead the path, trust me, 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:01.520 you know what I'm saying. So we got that out 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.120 the way. We could keep going. I mean, you know, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:10.360 oh yeah, gonna go back back into it. But I'll 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.920 say that's much more, you know. I I like to 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:20.040 give people the opportunity to change because we have been 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.200 given an opportunity based on how we grew up, where 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.839 we come from, what we could have been doing, based 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.640 rock Me as a thing that actually been a significant 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.000 part of growing us to be the men we've become, 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.640 you know. So I would like to say he would change, 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.400 but I don't know. I don't know the way we've 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.800 done business over the years, and the man I've sat 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.560 next to talking business with, I don't know if he 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.120 really has the ability to change. So I'll worry about that. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:53.080 But you know what, maybe it's you know, sometimes in 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.000 order for it to change, sometimes you got to look 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.200 at yourself in America. So maybe so maybe this is 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.000 it because maybe he just doesn't It made me think 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.920 this is it's just us. Maybe fix it is just you. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.000 Maybe think it's just me. Maybe thinks it's just a 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.679 lot of people. So maybe he sees this interview, Like 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.560 I said, he's gonna see this because I would watch 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.640 it if I was him, And maybe he see this 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.760 interview and say, like, we're not trying to be unfair 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.040 and we're not trying to dis you, disrespect your legacy, 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.280 disrespect your name or anything.

And what do ye think at 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:07.760 a moment, at a moment like as an artist, because 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.120 that's little ship. That ship is really like we worked 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.880 hard for something and really know that. But we were 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.600 doing a young man in front of the world. And 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.200 you know it's time to make that right man, It's 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.960 time to make that right now. And all fairness to 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.240 the business we've been dunk doing. We've done nothing less 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.560 than partnerships since they left. So and here it is. 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.520 We've been blessed to do a shoot. We've been blessed 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:41.840 to continue to tour tremendously. I mean Lobberry Congress, I 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.280 mean you know Library of Congress with the catalog that 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.400 people can't even get, you know, so you know, I 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.880 look at you know, my comrades such as yourself missing 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.560 only in particular when she had a great moment like 0:14:55.720 --> 0:15:00.200 fifteen years after work it and did the Super Bowl. Bro, 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.600 she does it like a million downloads. I didn't work 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.040 it if I'm not more so, I was kind of 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.160 speculating what could it have been for us behind the 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:13.000 White House? Yeah, that you know what could have been 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:19.800 just potentially being Obama's request, you know, all right to 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.080 perform at the White House with comment in the roots 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:36.280 and doing me myself and I tem just be my laws. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.840 Let's do it ship man. We gotta get this right man. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:46.120 And again moving forward to to new artists who watching this, Uh, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.040 I want to you know, people to know that it 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.080 was a lot harder to get off back then. Show 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.120 you actually had you actually had to have skills now 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.960 to say you guys don't have skills at a different 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.320 time and ever so, and I mean to tell you 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.880 got to outright everyone in your barrel when everybody to 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.360 get to ale, it was will Will Will Will Will 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.760 back then. I mean definitely coming from our demographics because 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.000 I think we our gateway was always trying to get 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.680 on the radio. We had to get on radio to 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.600 be able to do our think. I mean, I wish 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.040 we were able to do it like n W A 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.040 or too Short. I wish we could sell out the 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.520 car in New York. We would have never had this 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:32.960 issue was always getting to that conduit which was up 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.680 in the beginning, in the beginning, that that's that that 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:41.160 was the goal was uh, you know radio radio, I think, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.880 I think, And it was cool. It wasn't tuning I'm 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:51.560 affordably take yeah. Yeah. It wasn't art as hell or 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.920 was it easy cool? It was hard if we you 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.720 how to even get somebody's attention, like Prince Paul, like 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.320 you always heard somewhere Big co sign. It was very 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.639 sodom that somebody want to rack contest like steps to 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.440 sign Ago whoever? You know what the fact boys who 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:14.080 want to rack contest. We knew Prince Paul, but but 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.200 I had to get his attention first, not take a minute, 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.080 you know what I mean, and hoping that the stars 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.320 just lined up, which they did obviously, but even even 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.280 then he didn't make no problem. So it's based on 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.280 the position. And Chris Paul was a producer as well. 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:38.880 Rights remember sign okay Ya and his groundbreaking his y'all 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.160 were at the time too. That was did y'all think 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.480 we might like it might be difficult to break this music? Yo? 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.879 As basically saying success for us was hearing Magic the 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:56.119 World World premiere, and I was off to the military. 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:00.000 He was already in architectural school. He was off the college. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.160 It's like we was about to move on with the life. Yeah, 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.520 to get a re up to do like Pottles in 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:14.280 my long He's like, okay, you know me something you know. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.320 And then there was Potoles and Jennifer, and Jennifer was 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.000 out of respect answer to Jim Browski because we were 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:29.119 the jungle brothers. With Jenny, it was like Jenny Jimmy 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:37.560 and became buddies after a while. Right, let me ask 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.399 you your because your names and fell back with y 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.399 How did you come up with that? Who? What? Po 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:55.280 started like yoga? Yeah? Yeah, I started the back which okay, 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.520 how did you start with that? Um? I love this 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.639 name ball stop sound uh as a DJ like I 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.840 just want you know. My mother was from the country 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.200 wins Burro, Georgia, and she always was saying in my house, 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:10.399 you know you better like eat up everything. And you 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.480 played like take that bread and stop up the soul 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.760 sounds like he was a d J playing on the 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.840 sounds and stop up all these sounds for DJ. So 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.080 when I started back towards trying to be an MC, 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.360 I just turned everything backwards. Pass suck came pass yes 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.840 sound became do new You know what I'm saying. That's 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:42.919 right story for twenty years and even are you want 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.679 some more work? Yeah? Yeah, but we got white wine. 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.480 You got white wine. Got take a bowl?

But 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:07.360 our show is to give all people they flowers where 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.280 they can smell. I hate the fact that when you've 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.480 got ten years of more in this game, people want 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.120 to say you washed, but in every other genre of 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.399 music or every other they say you season. So I 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.720 don't want to change the genre. And I think I'm 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:26.280 cool enough to do it. You feel me because I 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:31.280 don't want to push all legends now need to be 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.359 like yo, that nigger with my nigger.

Man. 0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:41.000 So when it's definitely finding out the different songs catch 0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:45.560 like like rock Cam like Saturdays Cam, like I know 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:49.879 and that you think dudes are like something Honor like 0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:53.280 Peace Parts or something like that. But now he's like right, 0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:57.000 like Saturday's cam, like I know, from three three ft high. 0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:01.679 So it's funny. That's a beautiful thing, man. So now 0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:05.440 let me get to uh Tupac Man. At one point 0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:09.520 Tupac hadn't been because y'all was cool at first. We 0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:16.920 were watching. So we move from digital digit pocket like 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:21.840 you know, like Parks smoke, so we did. The crazy 0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:27.119 thing is just come from well, I think it started 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:32.800 from what the video for ego tripping, Um when you 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:36.520 got to the big eyes. No, we're we're in this uh, 0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:40.560 we're in this mansion. You know, we're making fun of 0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:42.840 ourselves in terms of like playing off, like if we 0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:45.920 have an ego, but someone's questioning it. So Dave's riding 0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:48.200 around in his car. It says like he don't even 0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:52.600 own it. Stuff like that that checks and stuff like that. 0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:56.879 But I guess Park thought, um, we're basically Adrian was 0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:00.320 managing him at the time. Reached out to to our 0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:03.000 people's right at Tommy Boy and he was just like yo, 0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:07.080 he just feels like, um, y'all are trying to playoff 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:09.840 in this I Get around video and he was like yo, 0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:12.040 and he was like pop, it wasn't even like this 0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:18.040 did you do underground pot right he just first first 0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:23.040 okay when money fees in that single? Yeah, yeah, So 0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:25.880 and the way it was related to us, like Pok 0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.080 was just just disappointed because he he loved us, mean, 0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:32.960 and we immediately let him know. Liken, like we had 0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:35.800 no thought about that. We didn't even see the I 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:39.240 see the angle. Yeah I don't notice that. I would 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.920 probably said something, but I didn't even notice it. But 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:45.879 I mean like kind of known when he was alive. 0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:49.879 I'll apologize straight up because I I didn't see that, 0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:53.760 and and that's definitely works on the intentions. I love 0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:58.800 the brother. Yeah, it was unfortunately weird because when we 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:02.800 were told, I mean, we immediately was like, no, that's 0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:06.240 not even the case. And then Adrian gave me the 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.760 number to speak to him, so you know that's by 0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.600 that time, he had a crib out in Atlanta. Um 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.280 I tried to call him. I missed. I think I 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.120 missed this call. I called him back, but I left 0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:19.919 the message. I said, YO, hit me back. He never 0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.640 hit me back. But so then like maybe or whatever 0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:24.800 year or so later, when you hear hear what was 0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:27.680 going on the album, it just called us off guard 0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:30.560 because you know, populous people. I mean, I remember a 0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:33.040 time went on. You did a show out in the Bay, 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.800 you know, great show, and after the show, I'm standing 0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:38.959 outside and some dude came up on me like yo, 0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:41.960 you know, like you just send Caress one. I was 0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:44.920 like what, Like I was like carresponds a god to me, 0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:47.880 Like no, no, because you said in that song Aple Connections, 0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:50.320 you know you're not a vegetarian, You're not scared of beef. 0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:53.320 And I'm like, it's just a metaphor thing and what's 0:28:53.480 --> 0:29:00.400 gonna cares one of the vegetarian and he does. So 0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:02.400 then the dude was just trying to get at me, 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.160 and Pop came out of nowhere. It's like you're young, 0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.760 and like that's you know, that's people's and like so 0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:10.360 Pok kind of saved me from any problem. So I mean, 0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:12.760 like pak was always a good people to us. So 0:29:12.880 --> 0:29:15.200 it's saddened it happened because we just didn't understand where 0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:17.440 it where it came from. Left really got a chance 0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:21.160 to fix me. We tried, but didn't even know that 0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:23.800 I'm talking about like this man, it had even been 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.960 four or five years ago. I ran into assist at 0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.280 the airport in Atlanta and she was like, Yo, Pap 0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:34.360 was a really good fan of yours. And she was like, 0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.560 I'm telling you straight up, like he loved y'all. He 0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.280 would just hurt when it happened. And I guess you 0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:42.640 know at that point, you know, Parky led his heart. 0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:48.360 So yeah, well that's what it was. I'll bless you too. 0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:57.719 Got your own dunk sleeper. Ye, goddamn in that night. 0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:04.440 Huh how did that come about it? Yeah? We did 0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:06.920 two of those two wrong. I think the first one 0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:10.920 might have been like two thousand and four. Yeah, yeah, 0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:14.760 we had the high Time three guys. Yeah. Yeah. People 0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:18.480 throw at the eghs was like teenage ninja ninja turtles. 0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:20.800 They would they like nicknamed them that, but they don't 0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:24.320 when I do what, they're the champagne. Okay, let's do it. 0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:29.719 Let's do it. Come on, Yeah, years later to talk 0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:38.000 about it out.

We know that this is the worst 0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:00.320 thing ever. Yeah, we're all well aware that we are 0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:04.880 search in general that comes out. But we celebrate hip hop.

That was horrible. 0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:22.239 That's healthy, right, Hope it is hope straight. You're right? 0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:29.320 Did you every thing hip hop would be just big? No? No, 0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:37.280 I mean hip hop was enormous At Run DMC, that 0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:40.880 was big enough. You know, walked this way. You know, 0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:43.560 you couldn't even think how much bigger it could get, 0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:46.960 you know, what they were doing. And I guess I 0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:50.760 guess you know, when you were a kid man, all 0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:54.240 you thinking is like Norri said, like you thinking just 0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:59.520 how you gonna benefit from this directly? You know I'm 0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:01.600 gonna I mean a chain, I'm gonna be you know, 0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:03.800 I'm gonna be doing it. But you never look at 0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:07.600 it as you know, a business and you know, income 0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:12.400 extensions and branding all that. Yeah, we never thought that. 0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:16.000 But it's nice to see it happening. Man, it's it's 0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:19.120 it's a beautiful thing to see us to us opening 0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:22.120 bigger doors and and getting into bigger and better places. 0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:26.120 And you know that, I guess the what kind of 0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:29.840 is where we are at this time? And hopefully it 0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:32.960 can revert back to you know, the artists of a goal. 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:37.120 It's his ownership of things, you know. You know, it's 0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:40.840 good to see the new young folks, you know, doing 0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:45.040 a business accordingly to a different standard. But you know, 0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:48.800 there's a lot of us, you know, who are even 0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:52.120 before us. It's like I always say to myself, why 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:56.240 isn't there a Vegas show of hip hop? You know, 0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:58.880 why isn't there a show where it's like it's you 0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:00.840 know who see you know what they're doing it now, 0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:03.880 they're doing it. I think two Chains has one and 0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:07.160 he's like, he's like he's a young Yeah, he's a 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:10.280 dress I just left l a and because a billboard 0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:14.399 in front of the hotel. So they they they're getting more. 0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:19.200 I think Nellie had one president. I'm talking about even 0:34:19.239 --> 0:34:21.279 bigger than that, Like you know Blue Man Group. Why 0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:24.080 isn't there a presentation? You know, I think we can 0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:27.120 go in those directions, and that's where you can begin 0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:31.520 to incorporate brothers like Grandmaster Flash and Bellie Mail and 0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:34.799 Work and people who deserve those positions and that should 0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.520 be part of owning things and being a part of 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:40.279 the history and the legacy of it. You know, we 0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:43.120 don't expect them always excuse me to put to put 0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:46.480 records out, that's not what you know, really expecting them 0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.600 to do. But there should be opportunities for them to 0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:55.440 reap off of the what they create. The architect absolutely, 0:34:55.840 --> 0:35:01.120 and it's not about that era of saying our older 0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:04.360 guards got to come at somebody and and expect something. 0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:09.600 There's enough money to be made, where like an opportunity 0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:14.400 you know you've seen it done. Another genres right, So 0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:17.799 it's not like we are. It's a motown review. Why 0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:20.640 wouldn't it be a profile review? Are? You know what 0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:24.000 I'm saying, Like if you have these artists, and what 0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:26.560 do you guys think about, like the streaming that like 0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.800 the director to consumer. You know what I'm saying, Is 0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:33.200 that something that you guys are fans of or you know? Um, 0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:35.959 I wouldn't say we're against it, you know what I'm saying, 0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:39.360 Like because I imagine the time. I remember at one 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:41.720 point I wouldn't throw a record out and it wouldn't 0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:44.680 get to Japan, So you know what I'm saying. Sixteen 0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:48.160 days later and I remember a time where in order 0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:49.800 for the record to get to London, I had to 0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:57.719 physically go there. Right, Yeah, I'm getting old old, you 0:35:57.760 --> 0:35:59.440 know what I'm saying. I don't know if you I'm 0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:01.840 not stop. I don't know. If you remember we was 0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:06.880 at your show at Subterranean and London You've got totally shock. 0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.920 Everyone knew your lyrics. Oh yes, damn man comes a 0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:15.279 car you yo, yo, listen, listen to yo. Yes, no, 0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:19.400 I remember when I've seen y'all in London and it 0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:22.160 was it's lousy right in London and y'all, and I said, 0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:24.120 we are doing it's like you gotta show in two 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:28.239 weeks and I was like day bed two weeks and 0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:31.560 I remember, I remember that was doing features ya kidding? 0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:33.880 And I never I had never knew that. That had 0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:38.000 never made sense to me until ten years later. I said, 0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:42.440 holy ship doing exactly what they right, Yo, that's it. 0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:45.520 That's ship is ill like how life? How life? You 0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:48.279 know what I'm saying? Comes together and I think, you 0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:54.640 she gotta be some noise. But I got what But 0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:55.960 let me get back to the point I was trying 0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:58.800 to make. Was I remember I used to have to picity. 0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:00.320 I could go to like to a London didn't or 0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:05.160 to a jamaicap or to a scott or whatever to 0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:08.360 like promote the record. Now I can actually drop it 0:37:09.120 --> 0:37:11.880 one place and you can actually see from the comments 0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:18.120 this guy's from Switzer Ryan this. I think that's amazing. Question. 0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:21.359 You know what I'm saying, how you feel like? I mean, 0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:24.600 do you get them take? I would need to entertainment 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:28.439 to take is you know we're really making no money 0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:31.799 off this anymore. Now we're kind of using our music 0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:36.000 more to promote and got game money and resentuals off 0:37:36.040 --> 0:37:39.920 in other areas. I tell yourself something, when you look 0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:43.279 at the streaming the people who pay them most and 0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:47.399 I'm not on jay Z's pay roll, it's title. Why 0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:51.239 is that? Like? Why is title given paying the artists more? 0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:55.480 Like like Apple? We can put it on Apple, even 0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:58.480 put it on Spotify and put it on a title. 0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:03.600 Why is specifically paying more paying more? It's because it's 0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:06.080 got a lot of to do it whole and pro artist. 0:38:06.800 --> 0:38:09.480 You know, the beauty or of his position, in my 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:13.319 opinion is the period is now. You got a coach 0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:16.560 who played the game, right, there's we always other coaches 0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:19.279 who never played the game. Why are we gonna just 0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:21.840 go out of supports titles? Why? Why has he banging 0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:23.640 on that? Why is it investing in that for the 0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:26.640 last When are we going to like suppower our own 0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:29.400 like y'all great examples, because like like I'm sorry you 0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:32.879 cut you up, but I'm like when y'all said something 0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:34.920 the whole if I like the whole hip hop community, 0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:37.319 like I have power right now, you know what I'm saying, 0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:39.120 Like I wanted to let you let you know that 0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:42.440 y'all in the position of real power because it's it's 0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:45.680 even the young kids are tuned in because they said, 0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:48.920 you know, nas is there, Hold is dead, and that 0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:54.560 the subject, the subject matter is what matters. So, um, 0:38:55.640 --> 0:39:00.400 how do we how do how do uh capitalize? I mean, 0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:02.680 it's great to monetize it. It's great to be able 0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:07.280 to harness it and and changing change it into opportunities 0:39:07.360 --> 0:39:12.960 to earn from. But you know, it's like, because of 0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:16.600 the subject matter that we're dealing with right now, I 0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:21.680 also see the opportunity to make legislation, you know, to 0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:25.480 help your artists, future artists coming. You know, we could 0:39:25.480 --> 0:39:29.160 all monetize this. There's great ways to to make that happen. 0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:31.120 But we also got to think that the power is 0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:34.000 greater than just dollars and cents. So, I mean, so 0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:39.120 I would love to see what comes out of our 0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:44.160 you know madness. It's legislation changing man, people fighting and 0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:48.239 pushing for that. Hopefully this is this will inspire an attorney. 0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:51.480 Hopefully this will inspire young entrepreneur or someone who's in 0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:53.560 the game right now who feels like we need to 0:39:53.640 --> 0:39:56.480 just change the rules a little bit, you know, So 0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:01.800 capitalizing off it can be dollars and sense, but streaming 0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:06.239 the business model behind streaming is still unfavorable. You know. 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:10.640 I just think Title is the best company, doing the 0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:14.719 best they can based on their competitors, because they still 0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:17.279 got to compete, you know what I mean. And you 0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:20.160 can't eat Robert Hood. He can't. I means much as 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:23.600 he's trying to be still can't be a fool in business. 0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:25.759 But do you guys have any of those aspirations to 0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:29.879 to lead that way or be leaders and and make 0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:33.600 your own companies and consult companies to to avoid these 0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:37.840 things for future artists? Inspired inspired to be and a 0:40:37.920 --> 0:40:40.840 lot of it comes out of these mistakes, you know, 0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:45.239 because that experience we need, that we need that. You know, 0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.800 I'm always down to be the model for change. You know. 0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:52.800 The minute I touched hip hop culture and changed my 0:40:52.960 --> 0:40:56.440 life period based on what I know it could have been. 0:40:57.000 --> 0:41:00.319 So therefore I was always inspired to do the thing. 0:41:00.480 --> 0:41:03.000 But it can it is, you know, I want, I 0:41:03.080 --> 0:41:06.360 wanted to learn. I was at Rush all the time. 0:41:06.920 --> 0:41:10.080 I was still attributed a big part of my success 0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:16.319 today to the things I've learned around Elizabeth Street Rush, 0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:22.960 all this management. You know, people just people have may 0:41:23.160 --> 0:41:25.919 be hey man, we was a carduit even for Chrisler. Yeah, 0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:29.120 you know what I'm saying. We we was there before 0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:33.000 all of them. Yeah, so and here it is. I 0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:36.160 would say, it's but even our mistakes in that situation 0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:39.000 that allowed trying to do with dead doing a lot 0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:41.360 others to do with dead doom at Chris like you 0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:44.640 to even be the guy he looked at to be like, yo, 0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:48.520 you take over then. And one thing I can say, y'all, 0:41:48.760 --> 0:41:53.600 I'm proud of every decision we made, good and bad. 0:41:54.200 --> 0:41:57.000 Lisa was ours and we live in Pla was hours 0:41:57.040 --> 0:42:00.520 when we learned from him. Yeah, but it's a what 0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:04.400 I'm mushing your guyana non don't know, y'all. Stuff with 0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:10.919 each other, always going in the back. They were really 0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:21.560 people sometimes because a whole bunch of fights back. I'm 0:42:22.000 --> 0:42:26.640 a but but I like it, like it's crazy because 0:42:26.640 --> 0:42:29.839 today you can't very very early, all right, That's true. 0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:40.000 You would have to come out.

We did a show with Jungle Brothers 0:47:13.760 --> 0:47:15.960 in Boston, met them and then from there we just 0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:22.759 created a relationship and then eventually we was in the 0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:26.319 studio and and we invited them to the studio. For us, 0:47:26.360 --> 0:47:29.239 it was like studio is just like inviting friends and 0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:31.080 if you happen to be there, you're gonna be a 0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:33.080 part of what's going on. Because back then we had 0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:37.160 rails email correct, right, So you had to be in 0:47:37.200 --> 0:47:42.800 the studio.

So I had to bring the rail there. 0:47:59.440 --> 0:48:02.680 It was like the day of my life. Literally, ship, 0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:15.720 we have to work out CHRISTI fun before you before 0:48:15.760 --> 0:48:18.359 you could even record, you have to strike the tape.

About I'm just saying, 0:48:50.160 --> 0:48:54.520 I ain't punching for I ain't punching until two thousands 0:48:54.560 --> 0:48:57.520 for work. Because I'm told about Unique Studios. Most of 0:48:57.600 --> 0:49:00.520 my ship from those days with Unique study deals. At 0:49:00.560 --> 0:49:04.600 that time, Unique was not digital at all. Criteria out 0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:07.759 here It was not digital at all, so it was 0:49:07.880 --> 0:49:09.879 it was one take Charlie for me, Like, that's how 0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:13.160 it comes from that area. You gotta don't get away 0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:16.480 from that. That's why that's why our music. I just 0:49:16.520 --> 0:49:20.160 se y'all niggers the news this, y'all. That's why our 0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:22.879 music sound much better than y'all. That's why y'all. Ship 0:49:23.880 --> 0:49:26.160 even listen to your album eight now and listen to 0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:29.279 somebody from right now, you can like, look, look how 0:49:29.400 --> 0:49:32.120 because because these guys aren't even mixing right now, they 0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:34.440 just they just pointed a little bit. I throw it 0:49:34.480 --> 0:49:37.400 out right. They don't give a fun music so disposable 0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:41.239 right now. Back then, the music lasted that whole year. 0:49:41.280 --> 0:49:43.480 That's why I get called to the classic. You didn't 0:49:43.600 --> 0:49:46.080 listen to an album for a week. Listen to an 0:49:46.080 --> 0:49:50.239 album that old fucking year, all the credits. I'll be 0:49:50.320 --> 0:49:54.839 dropping it right. I'm dropping balls right now, right, Holy ship, 0:49:55.520 --> 0:49:59.120 it was better back there. I don't know if you 0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:01.240 talk to yourself, if you can say your mind sometimes 0:50:01.239 --> 0:50:03.359 I'm not. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, let's look 0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:06.000 at the quality of it, the qualities. Listen, how many 0:50:06.040 --> 0:50:09.680 classics came out like right now, it's probably one classic 0:50:09.719 --> 0:50:15.879 album that came out last year, probably right saying J Cole, Yeah, yeah, 0:50:19.000 --> 0:50:22.120 it'll probably be It'll probably be less than ten if 0:50:22.120 --> 0:50:25.200 we really get crazy, like we wouldn't use all of all. 0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:30.080 But in the nineties, like everybody that dropped was a 0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:32.520 class I mean, it has to be something too not 0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:36.120 compare in the process. The process was more difficult back then, 0:50:36.719 --> 0:50:39.080 where now it's like you can you can record album 0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:44.520 on your phone right right that because the process you 0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:46.799 want to be careful and make sure whatever you put 0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:48.799 us exactly what you wanted to put out. I would 0:50:48.800 --> 0:50:52.160 imagine its product it's more of a field, you know. 0:50:52.239 --> 0:50:54.800 I feel like now it's definitely more of a field. 0:50:55.400 --> 0:50:58.160 You can make something on your laptop, press the button, 0:50:58.440 --> 0:51:00.640 it is out. You know, it's I guess like how 0:51:00.680 --> 0:51:04.560 you're saying it's like listening to music that it would 0:51:04.560 --> 0:51:07.120 be like extra p making a beat in his crib. 0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:12.600 Is how the finished product for younger cats now sound 0:51:12.680 --> 0:51:14.440 like actually can get to beat the nads And now 0:51:14.480 --> 0:51:17.399 you're going to give it to the engineer because because 0:51:17.440 --> 0:51:20.600 to be fair to say, young cats right now they 0:51:20.719 --> 0:51:23.480 might be thrown out what would have just been demo records. 0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:26.600 You know what I'm saying, It's like, throw it out. 0:51:27.360 --> 0:51:32.279 I didn't want it right, but you gotta, you gotta, 0:51:32.640 --> 0:51:36.719 you gotta respectfully understand what the technology. You know, my 0:51:37.080 --> 0:51:41.240 my kids, young cats listen to everything in headphones and buds. 0:51:41.400 --> 0:51:44.120 You know what I'm saying. It's not about bumping in 0:51:44.200 --> 0:51:49.120 your systems.

Yo. 0:52:15.800 --> 0:52:18.399 Let me tell you something that hurt my feelings. One day, 0:52:18.840 --> 0:52:21.520 I'm sitting there, I'm hitting with PREMI and was like 0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:26.080 and I'm like that is it and he goes it 0:52:26.160 --> 0:52:33.160 ain't right.

But David been like 0:52:56.920 --> 0:52:59.000 your morse. But I'm telling you could say it better, 0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:00.799 you can do it better, like Dave has always been 0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:03.680 that that first of all potential, right Yeah, you gotta 0:53:03.680 --> 0:53:06.920 see ptention on everything.

Yeah, because we eat on Tommy Boy Damn 0:54:25.760 --> 0:54:31.720 I said the name we was okay, y this okay 0:54:32.320 --> 0:54:35.560 out of bust because we could have said some I 0:54:35.600 --> 0:54:37.160 real have got another type of boat out on the 0:54:39.880 --> 0:54:42.120 you gonna get this race it. But but we were, 0:54:42.239 --> 0:54:44.560 Jeff were gentlemen the old feel the same way. I'm up. 0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:48.239 I was just trying to say we were when we 0:54:48.560 --> 0:54:50.560 were still on Tommy Boy and we wanted to do 0:54:50.840 --> 0:54:53.560 like a triple album. You know, it was like, Yo, 0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:55.239 this could be really a dope thing to do. But 0:54:55.320 --> 0:54:57.600 then then you say triple album. Wouldn't I need him 0:54:57.600 --> 0:55:01.480 clarify it would have at the time. Yeah, I came 0:55:01.560 --> 0:55:03.839 out with a noble and we was like, well, let's 0:55:03.880 --> 0:55:07.080 top all of that and do a triple But you know, 0:55:08.400 --> 0:55:14.759 exactly exactly, No, man, this is this just like how 0:55:14.800 --> 0:55:17.239 you said, we're trying to be We are a gentleman here. 0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:19.560 We you know, we get it when when a person 0:55:19.680 --> 0:55:23.480 deserves it. But Thomson was like, that's crazy. He didn't 0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:27.560 like he just came up with a better idea. Why 0:55:27.840 --> 0:55:31.759 why Well maybe and I just couldn't be baby, Yeah, 0:55:32.360 --> 0:55:36.640 but what was that idea? Why do three records when 0:55:36.680 --> 0:55:39.120 you could just do three installments? Like why do you 0:55:39.480 --> 0:55:44.080 record three budget per You know what I'm saying that 0:55:44.400 --> 0:55:49.520 good and that's what actually yeah, yeah, that's when the 0:55:49.600 --> 0:55:52.560 A Y series came. One of us that much music. Man, 0:55:52.640 --> 0:55:54.840 something gets lost in there, you do. You feel like 0:55:54.880 --> 0:55:57.560 you're waiting from that song that So that was a 0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:59.840 good idea and we did a o I one. We 0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:02.840 then O I T Yeah, and we still got to 0:56:02.880 --> 0:56:04.400 do a O I three. So that's something that we 0:56:04.480 --> 0:56:07.680 were coming around to it telling me what folding you 0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:10.239 know what I'm saying. Wow, And that's when everyone went 0:56:10.280 --> 0:56:13.640 into the to the WIA matrix and then labels was 0:56:13.680 --> 0:56:15.600 trying to pick what they want. Electro one at us. 0:56:17.040 --> 0:56:20.879 So we actually met with Electra well Sylvia Rosa because 0:56:21.120 --> 0:56:26.879 we are talking right folded. We all got absolved. Yeah, 0:56:27.360 --> 0:56:33.080 I've been yeah, I've been the same. It's crazy like 0:56:36.000 --> 0:56:42.600 the back back yea technically label made yeah technically you know. 0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:48.640 I was a promoter for Time man. Okay, tell you 0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:52.640 Sylvia really wanted us on Electric to be wrong. Yeah, 0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:59.399 I think Wrong's She's an epic man. We want black CEOs, right, yeah, 0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:02.759 we you know, we met with her. Look like it 0:57:02.800 --> 0:57:04.360 could be a good thing, you know, we were we 0:57:04.440 --> 0:57:06.279 were kind of like, yo, like this could be cool. 0:57:06.400 --> 0:57:10.240 But she wanted us to do the entire album with Timberland, 0:57:10.800 --> 0:57:12.480 and it was like, all right, you know, we don't 0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:14.759 necessarily know Tim like that, we would like to know 0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:17.560 if people be interested, But then we kind of had 0:57:17.600 --> 0:57:19.560 our organic way of doing things, like we didn't have 0:57:19.760 --> 0:57:21.720 been ill you know what I'm saying. I see that though, 0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:24.600 so you know, it just didn't work out. She wanted 0:57:24.640 --> 0:57:31.640 certain things creatively we weren't, you know, yeah, just like 0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:37.280 just like they just I'll give any creative opportunity, you know, shot, 0:57:37.600 --> 0:57:40.160 But I really didn't see that. I don't wish it 0:57:40.160 --> 0:57:43.040 would tie Tim, but I see for World War so 0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:45.400 if our world would have he would have what held 0:57:45.640 --> 0:57:49.400 Because I heard, you know, play your music. I know 0:57:50.120 --> 0:57:55.880 because the back y'all y'all sound I'm personally driving, So okay, 0:57:56.160 --> 0:57:58.680 you no, I'm just saying, like, just like as y'all 0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:02.080 were saying and David saying earlier, Um, you know, you 0:58:02.160 --> 0:58:03.680 get props with props to do what I mean, Like 0:58:03.880 --> 0:58:08.080 Tommy Boy always allowed us to just have free reign 0:58:08.240 --> 0:58:13.320 over our creativity. So immediately seeing Sylvia trying to control 0:58:13.440 --> 0:58:15.680 it kind of made us me like, I don't know 0:58:15.720 --> 0:58:17.560 if we could it would be it would work it 0:58:18.080 --> 0:58:21.000 when you felt like it controlling it always at a suggestion, 0:58:22.480 --> 0:58:26.400 because you know, you figured I knew Sylvia, you know 0:58:26.480 --> 0:58:28.040 from Renee of Clean being there that I was like 0:58:28.120 --> 0:58:30.760 my brother in law. You know, I would always powers 0:58:31.760 --> 0:58:33.920 that would step up there a lot. So you know, 0:58:34.080 --> 0:58:36.440 she was just very like adamant on, like, yo, and 0:58:36.520 --> 0:58:38.480 I see this vision for y'all attempt to do the 0:58:38.520 --> 0:58:41.920 Oh album. You know what I'm saying. Our manager at 0:58:41.920 --> 0:58:45.320 the time, Corey Smith, you know who was listening. Yeah, 0:58:45.400 --> 0:58:48.040 you know, Um, it just didn't seem like it would 0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:50.240 work out the way we would want it to be. 0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:53.560 So she was cool with us saying like, you know, 0:58:54.200 --> 0:58:55.800 we don't need to be there. You know, we felt 0:58:55.840 --> 0:58:58.520 like that wouldn't be where we wanted to be, and 0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:02.080 Atlantic going through trying to pull us in, and even 0:59:02.120 --> 0:59:04.600 the gentleman who was overseeing everything, he was the head 0:59:04.640 --> 0:59:06.320 of we are, like we want to this. He was 0:59:06.360 --> 0:59:07.960 like a big day life and he's like, yo, why 0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:12.320 don't you just be Warner Brothers. But we was like, look, 0:59:12.840 --> 0:59:17.360 there's a perfect opportunity to be to be independent. So 0:59:17.760 --> 0:59:21.840 we kind of asked for it, and you know, it 0:59:22.000 --> 0:59:23.560 was the best thing to ever had in our career. 0:59:24.560 --> 0:59:26.960 I mean that's like the biggest blessing man, just to 0:59:27.040 --> 0:59:31.040 be depending. Yeah. Yeah, there was there a learning curve 0:59:31.120 --> 0:59:33.479 that you when you were independent, you had to figure 0:59:33.520 --> 0:59:36.000 things out that you didn't know. No, no, you're just 0:59:36.040 --> 0:59:39.040 already kind of knew. Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean 0:59:39.080 --> 0:59:41.360 we kind of made sense. It was comment sense, yeah, 0:59:41.640 --> 0:59:44.880 pretty much. And the responsibility ultimately it was on us 0:59:45.080 --> 0:59:47.920 everything in the parts board and not to cut you. 0:59:48.680 --> 0:59:51.560 I'm still going back to that. We we spent so 0:59:51.640 --> 0:59:55.080 many years having control of how to do things creatively, 0:59:56.480 --> 0:59:59.960 but and could see at like say with us being 1:00:00.040 --> 1:00:04.560 wanna rush rush and death jam of course was so blended. 1:00:04.640 --> 1:00:06.640 We would see how Russell would talk to their artist 1:00:06.680 --> 1:00:08.560 like your hell, you gotta do this. You'll get on 1:00:08.640 --> 1:00:11.600 a train, go get it with boys the man go. 1:00:12.000 --> 1:00:13.960 You know what I'm saying, Yo, you know matth, you 1:00:14.000 --> 1:00:17.040 gotta do this. Like we just we couldn't go to 1:00:17.160 --> 1:00:20.000 a label and having a label telling Daylight what to do. 1:00:20.320 --> 1:00:21.600 We have to be able to do what we need 1:00:21.680 --> 1:00:23.400 to do. So we need to be on our own. 1:00:23.480 --> 1:00:26.080 We needed to be independent to stay in control of 1:00:26.160 --> 1:00:28.600 what we wanted to do. You know what and you 1:00:28.960 --> 1:00:32.640 you honestly like me an independent more than the main Yo. Well, 1:00:32.720 --> 1:00:35.200 I mean we would never major. I think when you 1:00:35.480 --> 1:00:39.800 think some would say someone say that, I would say that, 1:00:40.040 --> 1:00:46.959 I think I say point, I mean yeah, yeah, because 1:00:46.960 --> 1:00:50.200 you can't be that Actually was all penalty backers when 1:00:50.200 --> 1:00:55.480 I was Yeah, that was boys a little yeah so 1:00:55.760 --> 1:00:59.200 um so yeah. So so essentially that means that to 1:00:59.240 --> 1:01:01.560 all settlement was the I mean the time boy was 1:01:02.080 --> 1:01:06.200 the distributing, so that so that that yourself made them better. 1:01:06.320 --> 1:01:08.080 I mean, of course the comfort of a label was 1:01:08.120 --> 1:01:10.360 like it almost feel like you got staff you know 1:01:10.440 --> 1:01:13.360 already there. People know their job, they know the business, 1:01:13.400 --> 1:01:15.360 they know how to get around. So the comfort of 1:01:15.520 --> 1:01:21.000 having a a company of corporation as a team, you know, 1:01:21.360 --> 1:01:24.600 Master Philli, you got a partners. Yeah, mass Pillar is 1:01:24.640 --> 1:01:26.680 a dope. I'm throwing the project with them, a dope, 1:01:26.720 --> 1:01:30.760 let's dope, dope. They're doing good things there. Yeah, it's 1:01:30.800 --> 1:01:32.840 probably the best of both worlds in the sense. Yeah, 1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:36.640 the last album we put out anonymous nobody and then 1:01:36.680 --> 1:01:40.040 as nobody, you know master Phil wants to be involved. Um, 1:01:41.320 --> 1:01:47.400 this is the crowd funding. Yeah, yeah, wanted to have someone. Yeah, 1:01:47.560 --> 1:01:49.520 we don't even have someone dis I did think let 1:01:49.560 --> 1:01:51.520 me ask you real. Sorry that good, but did y'all 1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:53.800 break I felt like y'all broke records in terms of 1:01:53.920 --> 1:01:58.000 artists raising money, did you or at least look, let's 1:01:58.040 --> 1:01:59.520 let's get into that. Let's get it, because that to 1:01:59.640 --> 1:02:01.800 me was I mean, I saw what was going. I 1:02:01.840 --> 1:02:03.800 was getting all the emails one side of the game, 1:02:03.800 --> 1:02:05.160 but I was getting all the evening. It would be 1:02:05.240 --> 1:02:07.840 wasting money for the budget of the album. Yeah, and 1:02:07.920 --> 1:02:11.520 they raised an incredible amount of money. Yeah, it was 1:02:11.560 --> 1:02:17.640 six hundred gan um days. Yeah, didn't waste voice for that. 1:02:20.040 --> 1:02:24.800 Man seriously made the noise from fans. Man, you know, 1:02:24.840 --> 1:02:32.920 it was those smokes that came out. I mean, it's 1:02:33.000 --> 1:02:36.040 it's it's you know, it's a flattering thing. Eleven thousand 1:02:36.160 --> 1:02:40.680 people raised six hundred thousand dollars. How what was the budget? Was? 1:02:40.720 --> 1:02:42.040 How much did you put that you were trying to raise? 1:02:42.080 --> 1:02:47.400 We were trying to get one fifteen Yeah, yeah, obviously 1:02:47.880 --> 1:02:51.120 we have seen it that in three hours and were 1:02:51.640 --> 1:02:57.760 like three hours when week hours? You know, And I 1:02:57.800 --> 1:03:08.000 feel like the man, I don't think number the number 1:03:08.160 --> 1:03:11.960 was contented on what we were looking at around the 1:03:12.160 --> 1:03:14.520 industry at the time when we were considering that there 1:03:15.160 --> 1:03:18.840 what was coming. We're star ranging from a hundred to 1:03:18.960 --> 1:03:23.360 a hundred and fifty, so anybody road of what we 1:03:23.480 --> 1:03:30.480 thought was okay, what was achievable. It's a difficult thing 1:03:30.560 --> 1:03:35.720 to excuse me mas to be asking for money. It 1:03:36.600 --> 1:03:43.280 started and it almost a human you know, feeling like, 1:03:45.520 --> 1:03:47.320 am I begging here? Am I gonna look like I 1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:49.160 ain't got it? And we live at the time of 1:03:49.200 --> 1:03:54.120 the internet way there's some people who so it was 1:03:54.200 --> 1:03:55.800 kind of weird. So we didn't want to seem like 1:03:55.840 --> 1:03:58.000 we was greedy. We didn't want to seem like we 1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:01.960 couldn't afford it because those were that wasn't that The 1:04:02.120 --> 1:04:07.960 idea was too almost raise the awareness that you could 1:04:07.960 --> 1:04:12.200 do this our sounds and it's pre sales. Really then 1:04:12.240 --> 1:04:19.040 you do donate, they get the album. It was a 1:04:19.560 --> 1:04:21.320 man like a lot of you know, we offered a 1:04:21.360 --> 1:04:23.560 lot of things. You know, if you if you give 1:04:23.640 --> 1:04:26.960 up five grand, you go toy shopping with Dave. If 1:04:27.000 --> 1:04:33.400 you give up five grand, you go money man. So 1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:36.520 that time we got the recognize what do you get? 1:04:36.640 --> 1:04:42.040 You got the flash and also I'm sorry Dave. Within 1:04:42.120 --> 1:04:46.680 context of it, all immediately working on the album. We 1:04:46.800 --> 1:04:51.600 were working on the album, and we all knew labels 1:04:51.680 --> 1:04:55.760 that were actually interested immediately off the top, you know, 1:04:55.920 --> 1:04:58.480 from the band we worked with to ourselves. We have 1:04:58.600 --> 1:05:04.600 people definitely wanting to hear it without hearing anything, very 1:05:04.680 --> 1:05:08.840 interested in doing anything but Davis. But as creative we 1:05:08.920 --> 1:05:11.960 were allowing ourselves to give the album. Is what made 1:05:12.040 --> 1:05:15.160 us once again think that from a creative standpoint, we 1:05:15.240 --> 1:05:16.880 put this on the album because we put a song 1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:20.600 with you know, I don't know us and David Byrne 1:05:20.760 --> 1:05:23.120 and he's singing and then we rhyme like could we 1:05:23.400 --> 1:05:26.400 really do that? And that's what made us think like, well, 1:05:26.440 --> 1:05:28.600 why don't we raise the money to just keep it 1:05:29.080 --> 1:05:31.560 be able to keep it totally creative, you know what 1:05:31.600 --> 1:05:34.240 I'm saying. And I have a label think like, well, yo, 1:05:34.360 --> 1:05:37.120 we're like you gotta you gotta put Kodak Black one. 1:05:37.160 --> 1:05:43.240 It's one record I love astrictions that wouldn't come with 1:05:43.440 --> 1:05:45.640 being on a label with a short budget. You know 1:05:45.680 --> 1:05:48.760 what I mean hearing is it was already twelve years 1:05:48.880 --> 1:05:52.120 we had made a record, so you know, looking at 1:05:52.360 --> 1:05:54.960 just the business side of it, that wasn't a good thing. 1:05:55.040 --> 1:05:56.680 For us, no one. We couldn't done a good sort 1:05:57.880 --> 1:06:02.200 that you guys did it because I think yeah we 1:06:02.240 --> 1:06:08.520 congratulations congratulations as well? Why why why? Why why are 1:06:08.520 --> 1:06:12.480 you ain't positive? Why you ain't uh trying to be 1:06:12.600 --> 1:06:14.800 like the head of Sony. You know what I'm saying. 1:06:15.600 --> 1:06:17.320 You know what I'm saying, Like is that is that 1:06:17.560 --> 1:06:20.520 our next? You know? You know what I'm saying, because 1:06:20.560 --> 1:06:23.960 like is it? We really are people from within or 1:06:24.280 --> 1:06:28.160 at least systems? You think that's the thing. You know 1:06:28.160 --> 1:06:30.520 what I'm saying. Not for us, I'll speak for myself 1:06:30.600 --> 1:06:34.600 perfect Like I can see you like a Spotify like 1:06:34.720 --> 1:06:37.120 you know, you know what I'm saying, like like like 1:06:37.240 --> 1:06:40.720 something like that, that's something interested in not me personally. 1:06:40.960 --> 1:06:44.080 And I think that I got those type of people 1:06:44.120 --> 1:06:48.120 in my band, but not me personally. Okay, it's um, 1:06:48.680 --> 1:06:51.760 I'm a creative, That's that's who I am. I got ideas, 1:06:52.440 --> 1:06:54.480 you know. Now, Can I see myself in a position 1:06:54.560 --> 1:07:00.320 where I'm you know, creatively you know, pushing this preaching 1:07:00.480 --> 1:07:03.760 company to consulting? Right? Absolutely? But you know I think 1:07:03.800 --> 1:07:07.040 the the executive and the things is something that we 1:07:07.120 --> 1:07:10.920 would probably speak about and try to inspire young people 1:07:11.000 --> 1:07:15.040 to aspire to. But for us, for me personally, I 1:07:15.160 --> 1:07:17.240 love music, man, I just want to I just want 1:07:17.280 --> 1:07:21.120 to rhyme and that I mean, that's that's that's where 1:07:21.120 --> 1:07:24.840 it is pure. You know. I definitely love music, as 1:07:24.920 --> 1:07:28.920 as David saying, but yeah, I would, I could do it. 1:07:29.520 --> 1:07:33.760 I feel like, you know, I've had brothers trying to 1:07:33.840 --> 1:07:37.120 push me to that, to that that place.

And as you see, where the ideas go 1:17:31.720 --> 1:17:34.560 with business is because of what we've gone through. So 1:17:35.240 --> 1:17:38.760 of course we can see ourselves in these executive positions 1:17:38.840 --> 1:17:40.960 on some form or another, you know what I mean, 1:17:41.600 --> 1:17:43.720 Just to make it right for the future, And like 1:17:43.920 --> 1:17:47.280 Dave was saying, legislation that's really more important, you know, 1:17:47.640 --> 1:17:50.880 changing the laws of how things have been structured, you know, 1:17:51.920 --> 1:17:54.920 because even with the streaming, it's still a little green 1:17:55.000 --> 1:17:59.280 area that if you look at it, it's still a 1:17:59.360 --> 1:18:04.439 grey area, you know what I mean, It's were making 1:18:04.600 --> 1:18:07.560 change right here right now, and it's a mentality that 1:18:07.680 --> 1:18:10.320 you're trying to do your best to get rid of, 1:18:10.600 --> 1:18:13.719 you know, in terms of the industry as a whole. 1:18:13.920 --> 1:18:16.880 You know, like funny enough, like it's like saying that 1:18:16.920 --> 1:18:19.479 everyone makes such a big deal about this red maga hat. 1:18:19.600 --> 1:18:22.200 It's like it's still like a mass I had, like 1:18:22.600 --> 1:18:24.960 a make artist slaves again. It's like you've got to 1:18:24.960 --> 1:18:27.479 get rid of that whole mentality for the entire record 1:18:27.520 --> 1:18:31.160 company is know what I'm saying, It's that had running 1:18:31.200 --> 1:18:36.040 around so out of being seen, and you know, the 1:18:36.160 --> 1:18:39.639 intention saying that I was a night man should going 1:18:39.680 --> 1:18:42.479 to my whole body and you said that, but the 1:18:42.560 --> 1:18:46.000 same question to you the last thing you give hip hop, 1:18:47.080 --> 1:18:50.240 you know, just honestly for me, just we were creative 1:18:50.640 --> 1:18:55.559 dudes who had fun and shout I have just trying 1:18:55.600 --> 1:18:59.800 to be blessed at giving the best we could. But 1:19:00.000 --> 1:19:05.040 in this industry and this music, for me personally, I 1:19:05.160 --> 1:19:06.840 kind of got a ca what maaze it? I mean, 1:19:07.400 --> 1:19:13.120 I hopefully, hopefully we could be the model of trying 1:19:13.160 --> 1:19:16.439 our best to make it work. It isn't always pretty, 1:19:17.400 --> 1:19:20.720 it doesn't always feel good, but at the end of 1:19:20.760 --> 1:19:22.760 the day, you know, I mean, in some cases, not 1:19:22.840 --> 1:19:27.000 all cases, if you work hard enough and you appreciate 1:19:27.080 --> 1:19:30.400 the magic that you make with the people in your circle, 1:19:31.760 --> 1:19:33.720 it's kind of hard to go find it elsewhere. You know, 1:19:33.800 --> 1:19:36.000 you want to keep that magic going. And I think 1:19:36.000 --> 1:19:37.840 that's what hip hop for me is. I know what 1:19:37.880 --> 1:19:39.920 it is when you get that moment where you hear 1:19:39.960 --> 1:19:43.000 that beat, it's like, oh, you know you write that 1:19:43.160 --> 1:19:45.080 versus about the magic in it, right, It's like how 1:19:45.160 --> 1:19:51.720 it feels yeah, yeah, And I think even whether it's 1:19:51.880 --> 1:19:55.240 it's it's we're talking about hip hop as a body. 1:19:55.439 --> 1:19:58.800 So what you guys are doing here, it feels good. 1:19:58.920 --> 1:20:01.559 It's a magic. And I think when you can when 1:20:01.600 --> 1:20:05.759 you can show that we could come together sometimes worlds 1:20:05.760 --> 1:20:08.840 apart and keep something going and build from it and 1:20:08.960 --> 1:20:12.760 make it better and it create new things, that's important. Man. 1:20:12.840 --> 1:20:14.960 That's that's what I would want to You don't want 1:20:15.000 --> 1:20:20.680 to embody, you know, as you know what the daylock do, 1:20:21.520 --> 1:20:25.280 like just the idea of staying together through thinking thin 1:20:25.400 --> 1:20:28.880 and making things work and giving that example of others 1:20:28.920 --> 1:20:30.760 to let them know that it's possible for them as well. 1:20:32.560 --> 1:20:37.880 You can you can sit three man group, got me goals, 1:20:38.800 --> 1:20:43.760 got the box. What do you think y'all rank yourselves? 1:20:46.080 --> 1:20:49.840 I mean, what do you what do you what do 1:20:49.960 --> 1:20:56.400 you think? I mean, I can't say ranking number, but 1:20:56.800 --> 1:21:03.240 I always say the future town, right, So I think 1:21:03.360 --> 1:21:07.200 right now we'll probably be that group, that three group, 1:21:07.320 --> 1:21:11.040 three man group that stayed together. That's that's the only 1:21:11.080 --> 1:21:12.800 thing I want to believe that we could lide on. 1:21:13.360 --> 1:21:15.360 And I'm not gonna say the meigo's gonna break up 1:21:15.479 --> 1:21:19.439 or whomever gonna but you know, staying together, we'll probably 1:21:19.479 --> 1:21:21.800 hold that record. I think we're gonna hold that record. 1:21:22.560 --> 1:21:24.760 It's more, it's more than a business. Yeah, it's more 1:21:24.800 --> 1:21:27.880 than business, and it's more to constantly it's safe to 1:21:27.920 --> 1:21:29.599 say that you guys haven't had a fair shot because 1:21:29.640 --> 1:21:32.880 it usually hasn't been the catalog that hasn't been introduced. 1:21:32.960 --> 1:21:36.280 Yeah it was, Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's 1:21:36.400 --> 1:21:41.439 a it's it's it's easy to say you're the best 1:21:41.520 --> 1:21:44.120 in your number one when you sit down and look 1:21:44.160 --> 1:21:48.000 at the facts, how long, right, you know what I'm saying. 1:21:48.600 --> 1:21:50.280 When you look at the body of work and how 1:21:50.360 --> 1:21:53.320 long you've been in what you have done. That's that's 1:21:53.360 --> 1:21:57.200 what really kind of claims that we are the best 1:21:57.360 --> 1:22:01.080 of that category. So right now already is talk to 1:22:01.160 --> 1:22:04.880 me when you hit like. You know what I mean, 1:22:04.880 --> 1:22:07.200 You talk to me when you hit like, teld to 1:22:07.240 --> 1:22:21.360 me when you hit five. Yeah, just just just just 1:22:21.680 --> 1:22:28.360 just to you know, reiterate something. UM fans understand, because 1:22:28.439 --> 1:22:30.400 we don't want to seem like the people just complain. 1:22:30.520 --> 1:22:34.519 I want to I want to be clear. What they 1:22:34.680 --> 1:22:41.120 are sold is saying that they that can rectify the situation. 1:22:41.200 --> 1:22:43.320 So the fans are clear. Now when we switched spoke 1:22:43.400 --> 1:22:47.120 to the label, we spoke everybody, but we're want to 1:22:47.120 --> 1:22:50.639 speak direct to the fans. This is what who needs 1:22:50.720 --> 1:22:53.680 this body to work? They need to wake up in 1:22:53.720 --> 1:22:56.439 the morning, go jogging and stream. You know what I'm 1:22:56.439 --> 1:22:59.439 saying these albums? So what what what does they like? 1:22:59.800 --> 1:23:04.160 So actually accent for to ractify the situation the fans 1:23:04.240 --> 1:23:06.680 do with what you call it? Um? You know the 1:23:07.400 --> 1:23:13.240 one I would sincerely asks, it's support of the fans 1:23:13.320 --> 1:23:15.920 and the culture. You don't press play if it actually 1:23:16.000 --> 1:23:19.280 comes up, it comes up online, you know, don't press 1:23:19.320 --> 1:23:21.880 play until we give it a go until we actually 1:23:21.920 --> 1:23:25.400 say YO, were happy. Thumbs up, guys, let's rock. We 1:23:25.560 --> 1:23:27.400 made up to kiss. We made up? You know what 1:23:27.439 --> 1:23:29.479 I'm saying. Until we say we kiss the made up, 1:23:29.920 --> 1:23:32.880 do not press play. If anything you can get grind 1:23:33.000 --> 1:23:37.719 date you can. You can definitely get uh anonymous robody. 1:23:37.960 --> 1:23:40.560 You can get those two things, you know, and you 1:23:40.640 --> 1:23:43.280 know whatever else we put out with the Pete Primo record, 1:23:43.840 --> 1:23:45.680 look out for that one, and also look out for 1:23:45.880 --> 1:23:48.040 l Y three. I can get all that, but all 1:23:48.080 --> 1:23:53.160 the other stuff from Bionics on down to three ft 1:23:53.200 --> 1:23:57.519 high rising, don't press play there. There's nothing else I 1:23:57.560 --> 1:24:00.040 can do. Because let's be honest, fans are don't on 1:24:00.120 --> 1:24:04.720 the best places the day. That's your choice. You know 1:24:04.760 --> 1:24:07.120 what I'm saying. I'm saying they're gonna be that. You 1:24:07.160 --> 1:24:09.920 don't know that when you're doing that. What else outside 1:24:10.760 --> 1:24:13.599 the story is the story? The truth is the truth. 1:24:14.120 --> 1:24:18.000 One thing I know, people do feel conflicted. We felt conflicted. 1:24:18.360 --> 1:24:21.360 I want them to have it, I really do. But 1:24:22.200 --> 1:24:25.760 it ain't right period. So let's get it right. And 1:24:25.880 --> 1:24:30.680 if you want to support, don't press play. So we 1:24:30.760 --> 1:24:38.599 gotta make it catchphrasing. Put that out there. Yes, yeah, Yeah, 1:24:38.680 --> 1:24:41.000 I concur because it's like it's like it's like like 1:24:41.120 --> 1:24:44.840 college captain feeling, you know, like people want to support Captain. 1:24:44.880 --> 1:24:49.280 People said want to watch this absolutely because you found 1:24:49.320 --> 1:24:51.799 the players out there.

It's America's thing. 1:24:59.760 --> 1:25:03.000 It's the world's thinking. It's an international fact. Yeah, and 1:25:03.160 --> 1:25:08.080 we ain't really still playing it fair. So I'm glad 1:25:08.160 --> 1:25:11.040 we got to accept to see this say this story 1:25:11.120 --> 1:25:16.040 the way it is because um, and I'm personally a 1:25:16.160 --> 1:25:19.200 witness that you guys are out here. You know, I 1:25:19.280 --> 1:25:21.880 feel like, you know, the older you get people out 1:25:21.920 --> 1:25:25.479 here complained. It's like that I personally know that everything 1:25:25.560 --> 1:25:28.439 you guys are saying it's the true because I'm in 1:25:28.600 --> 1:25:30.600 that boat.

And 1:25:46.880 --> 1:25:49.320 then that's one of the things. Unfortunately, it's like you know, 1:25:52.439 --> 1:25:56.240 power is the powers want to silence us daylong. Specifically 1:25:56.640 --> 1:25:59.599 what you said, I'm sorry, the power. I'm gonna call 1:25:59.600 --> 1:26:02.560 it the our individual one.

I was a 1:29:45.160 --> 1:29:49.360 record deal versus public guys at Texico. What you're gonna 1:29:49.400 --> 1:29:53.519 take that's real ship and and and having a following 1:29:54.600 --> 1:29:58.320 all the rules of what you learning vicariously through the 1:29:58.439 --> 1:30:01.360 music or like a rorist one who's actually saying your 1:30:01.439 --> 1:30:03.800 guys get a lawyer. Got out of your from set 1:30:03.920 --> 1:30:06.519 saying a guys, get a lawyer, shark d and this 1:30:06.680 --> 1:30:09.120 music he's saying the same thing, you know, when they 1:30:09.160 --> 1:30:12.280 want to dress different issues. So we've we've done that. 1:30:12.600 --> 1:30:15.320 We've done you know, we did our best to read 1:30:15.320 --> 1:30:18.400 our control and have a lawyer. This is Yeah, in 1:30:18.479 --> 1:30:22.479 addition to that, man like, what we're fighting for, it's 1:30:22.560 --> 1:30:25.559 nothing that we based our lives on. We didn't live 1:30:25.640 --> 1:30:30.960 off of royalties. We worked hard for life. So it's 1:30:31.000 --> 1:30:34.799 not like you know, we're you know, we're fighting because 1:30:34.880 --> 1:30:41.240 we've you know, uh, we've even been able to see 1:30:41.320 --> 1:30:44.200 what could come to us. We've never tasted any of that. 1:30:45.160 --> 1:30:48.200 We're just fighting for the fact that we can possibly 1:30:48.280 --> 1:30:51.679 need this stuff to our families. If you have any 1:30:51.720 --> 1:30:57.160 effect on any of this curt stuff, Yeah, trying to 1:30:57.200 --> 1:30:59.640 say they're trying to make up the money from that. 1:31:00.479 --> 1:31:03.360 I don't know what they're trying to do. Man, all 1:31:03.439 --> 1:31:06.599 we know they're on things and from the past ending. Yeah, 1:31:07.000 --> 1:31:09.320 things are still pregnant because that was all new back 1:31:09.360 --> 1:31:12.320 then for hip hop. Pretty much nobody knew that was 1:31:12.360 --> 1:31:15.040 gonna happen. Like you guys kind of opened that door 1:31:15.120 --> 1:31:17.720 to it. Yeah, I mean you figured hip hop was 1:31:17.800 --> 1:31:21.599 still very I'm load alive. You know, New York hip 1:31:21.600 --> 1:31:24.600 hop could be New York kipop, second hip hop and 1:31:24.680 --> 1:31:26.800 so on. So I mean, like, if you're talking about 1:31:26.840 --> 1:31:29.720 a record selling in New York, is gonna gonna sell 1:31:29.720 --> 1:31:31.960 a certain amount of copies. It was on the record 1:31:32.040 --> 1:31:34.360 companies to say to themself like, look, this is funny 1:31:34.400 --> 1:31:38.679 hip New York Philly d C. As a record company, 1:31:38.680 --> 1:31:41.320 you don't see that necessarily be cleared a sample because 1:31:41.320 --> 1:31:43.040 this ain't gonna really go on the way outside of that. 1:31:43.240 --> 1:31:46.360 And I'm also remember what I'm gonna also tell you 1:31:46.520 --> 1:31:49.600 what I think fuck up about the patrics. Right. What 1:31:49.720 --> 1:31:52.920 happened was we would they would ship out these records 1:31:53.080 --> 1:31:56.120 right at these records. So let's spose you shipped out 1:31:56.520 --> 1:32:00.920 five yeah, thirty days on the return of those fractors. Correct. 1:32:01.360 --> 1:32:04.639 If those brackets didn't return, they would automatically say your 1:32:04.680 --> 1:32:07.720 gold yea, yeah, yea, you know what to say. What 1:32:07.720 --> 1:32:11.880 I'm saying, you will automatically me gold. But you will 1:32:11.920 --> 1:32:19.320 immediately be old that drugs on. So you could like 1:32:19.479 --> 1:32:22.439 those records can actually come back. They had thirty days 1:32:22.520 --> 1:32:24.160 to come back and they didn't come back. Thir days 1:32:24.160 --> 1:32:28.120 they counted as a set and that's how they jerked us. 1:32:28.640 --> 1:32:35.240 That's one way the way making one of the ways. Right, 1:32:35.320 --> 1:32:43.280 things gotta be anyway, it's amaz that's not that was crazy. 1:32:43.400 --> 1:32:46.120 And then it was it was I remember, like you 1:32:46.200 --> 1:32:50.599 know you said it, you said it earlier. I remember 1:32:51.600 --> 1:32:55.360 like the charge of me for chip overseas then I've 1:32:55.360 --> 1:32:58.040 never been too. I was there, like you had a 1:32:58.080 --> 1:33:01.400 billboard and some they act then there was no internet, 1:33:01.520 --> 1:33:03.160 so I'm like, I had a billboard at Linda for 1:33:04.800 --> 1:33:07.840 you had you had a time square in Japan. There 1:33:07.920 --> 1:33:10.920 was no pitchers back then, but they would charge you 1:33:11.000 --> 1:33:14.000 for ship like that. You're like, what the fucking I know, 1:33:14.080 --> 1:33:16.280 how was that bug? You know what? I feel like 1:33:16.280 --> 1:33:20.000 I'm any church right now, I'm reaching that got the 1:33:20.000 --> 1:33:22.640 ghost of the Holy spirit air about people that we 1:33:22.800 --> 1:33:24.599 both know, but I won't air m out right now. 1:33:25.160 --> 1:33:28.519 They are friends of ours. When I worked in marketing 1:33:29.320 --> 1:33:34.120 that got caught with me by accident, faking ship that 1:33:34.240 --> 1:33:37.120 they were riding off to the artists getting paid in 1:33:37.200 --> 1:33:39.760 their pocket and I wasn't getting paid as the street team. 1:33:41.560 --> 1:33:44.840 And then by accident the check came to me accidentally 1:33:45.160 --> 1:33:48.160 to my DEMP Champ people. I people because they're friends, 1:33:49.720 --> 1:33:52.200 and I let them now. But I called him out 1:33:52.240 --> 1:33:54.400 at that moment and I said, I'm keeping this check 1:33:54.439 --> 1:33:56.960 because it's in my name, and they called me, don't 1:33:56.960 --> 1:33:58.560 give me someone that. No, no, no, no no no, 1:33:58.720 --> 1:34:06.720 certain get none of this jam. I don't know when 1:34:06.720 --> 1:34:08.920 you whistle it was a big check when you whistle 1:34:08.960 --> 1:34:12.559 about saying, I just yea, I'm just get like gonna 1:34:12.720 --> 1:34:25.840 the first because you know what what happened was the 1:34:25.920 --> 1:34:28.920 reps in the labels. They would overcharge for everything they 1:34:28.960 --> 1:34:31.320 did for for you guys know what I'm saying, and 1:34:31.439 --> 1:34:34.200 they would not purchase this or not pay for this. 1:34:34.520 --> 1:34:37.519 And when street teams, they were just happy. Street teams 1:34:37.520 --> 1:34:40.639 are fans I have. You could be working these records, 1:34:41.479 --> 1:34:45.120 so we would do whatever whenever for these arts and 1:34:45.640 --> 1:34:48.080 the street team makes that the guy running the street team, 1:34:48.160 --> 1:34:51.160 that the label would take advantage of that. I wasn't 1:34:51.200 --> 1:34:53.759 the guy to take advantage of. I'm just talking for myself. 1:34:54.240 --> 1:34:56.160 I would get was stubborn nick I was supposed to 1:34:56.160 --> 1:35:03.400 do stub stubb, I would right, That's what I would 1:35:03.400 --> 1:35:05.679 see it. That's where I'm knowing this type of sense. 1:35:06.600 --> 1:35:08.920 Let's check him in. I already knew what's happening, but 1:35:09.000 --> 1:35:10.840 I never had the proof of the check. Check Right, 1:35:11.400 --> 1:35:13.640 A check came in the mail for a lot of 1:35:13.720 --> 1:35:16.800 money for a big more day weekend. We usually get 1:35:16.800 --> 1:35:18.720 paid a little bit more Monday, more day we get 1:35:18.760 --> 1:35:23.080 in those days, but this time this check was this big, right, 1:35:23.360 --> 1:35:30.360 and this is when you was a bat to because 1:35:30.479 --> 1:35:37.479 we're not saying little. He was say you called me, 1:35:38.320 --> 1:35:40.720 hop you called me. He said, you've got to check 1:35:40.800 --> 1:35:59.800 out tail. I said, I guess you know this industry's 1:36:02.560 --> 1:36:04.679 we heard all the same stories that he heard. Yeah, 1:36:05.640 --> 1:36:08.960 people really appreciate whom we were as an artist as 1:36:09.000 --> 1:36:11.160 a group.

So it's that type of stuff. 1:38:21.120 --> 1:38:24.880 I mean, like it was being at ship. It was 1:38:24.960 --> 1:38:27.400 being up at like Tim Guan Rush, like you know, 1:38:27.520 --> 1:38:31.160 just learning how you know these herd companies are signed 1:38:31.280 --> 1:38:34.080 artists as his tax right offs even like so you 1:38:34.160 --> 1:38:36.960 know the businesses and left them out on purpose and 1:38:37.360 --> 1:38:40.920 you know, give you that money so you can oh yeah, 1:38:41.160 --> 1:38:45.479 so many are you know they purposely tanked that person's career. Yeah, 1:38:45.600 --> 1:38:49.120 we had that with Mother Sippery from Miami, an amazing 1:38:49.280 --> 1:38:51.360 artist from Miami. We thought she was it. She was 1:38:51.520 --> 1:38:54.759 they called her the female nas come out of Miami 1:38:54.880 --> 1:39:02.240 and island music shelters. Uh, you know a ship man. 1:39:03.760 --> 1:39:06.080 You know. One thing we don't want to do is 1:39:06.720 --> 1:39:09.599 we got the mean gags. I see that you look 1:39:09.600 --> 1:39:13.960 at that's the British walking, but it's focus them. You 1:39:14.120 --> 1:39:24.120 just slided. Listen, man, I mean one thing I don't 1:39:24.160 --> 1:39:27.400 want to do is rash. Yeah. Definitely tell the story 1:39:28.120 --> 1:39:31.200 for what it is. You know, it's history. Yeah, history, 1:39:31.880 --> 1:39:35.360 what it is? You know it's bad history once again. 1:39:35.439 --> 1:39:40.880 But let's hope it's not a lot of you say 1:39:40.920 --> 1:39:44.519 that when you say bad saying listening in the business practice, 1:39:44.600 --> 1:39:47.080 but you guys have had a basic career. Yeah, you 1:39:47.120 --> 1:39:49.400 get business practice, but based on the perception of the 1:39:49.479 --> 1:39:53.880 company that represents hip hop and that Timmy Boy logo 1:39:54.080 --> 1:39:56.160 is the hip hop you know, that's the people stand 1:39:56.320 --> 1:39:59.719 You know, I'm representating the hip hop and still practicing 1:39:59.760 --> 1:40:04.479 the is this model that's that's definitely like slavery. Yeah, 1:40:05.320 --> 1:40:06.880 you know it is the more of the story that 1:40:07.160 --> 1:40:11.840 none of these companies are really hip hop. Man don't 1:40:11.880 --> 1:40:14.879 represents you. We can't say they represent hip hop ultimately 1:40:14.920 --> 1:40:18.679 at the end of the day. Or business is business 1:40:19.840 --> 1:40:24.640 saying business empire, do you know what? Yeah, you know 1:40:24.680 --> 1:40:27.200 what you are. People are what you are, what you negotiate, 1:40:27.400 --> 1:40:30.360 you know what they are. Wrestle would say, yeah, you 1:40:30.439 --> 1:40:31.920 know what I know, and I can hear what you 1:40:32.040 --> 1:40:34.400 work and give you negotiate and say you get what 1:40:34.560 --> 1:40:37.160 you negotiate. You know what here it is. You know 1:40:37.360 --> 1:40:41.280 in times, you know, were making overcast ourselves or maybe 1:40:41.360 --> 1:40:44.040 even undersell our subs depending on the person you are, 1:40:44.320 --> 1:40:46.720 you know, depending on where you're at that moment in 1:40:46.800 --> 1:40:49.080 time in your life and what you need versus what 1:40:49.240 --> 1:40:51.680 you what your situation is at the time. You know, 1:40:52.320 --> 1:40:55.000 so it's all give and take here. It is, even 1:40:55.160 --> 1:40:58.280 hip hop at that time, it was independent for all 1:40:58.360 --> 1:41:01.880 of them. Deaf Jarem Tommy Aways select records. I mean 1:41:01.960 --> 1:41:04.000 from the time I have been conceiving it. Yeah, they 1:41:04.040 --> 1:41:08.000 were seeking from two you know, I think you know 1:41:08.520 --> 1:41:11.360 from what I do know, Tommy Boys relationship with Warren 1:41:11.439 --> 1:41:15.120 Brothers hadn't been with everything. They were still doing their thing. 1:41:15.320 --> 1:41:18.320 It's why they did penalty because I think they even 1:41:18.360 --> 1:41:21.000 saw themselves as a sonny. So I could see why 1:41:21.080 --> 1:41:23.559 you say they were major, you know what I mean, 1:41:24.120 --> 1:41:27.080 because they didn't see themselves like that chap they've been. 1:41:27.160 --> 1:41:29.120 They've been in the game, went in a du cham 1:41:29.240 --> 1:41:33.880 when you think about it, you know, out Records doing 1:41:33.960 --> 1:41:37.320 that thing. You know how many albums as under you're 1:41:37.360 --> 1:41:40.400 having with them, six or six six album and then 1:41:40.439 --> 1:41:42.840 there's another album they made up on y'all right a 1:41:42.920 --> 1:41:50.439 life like a lot of kids. They staying stories. You know. 1:41:51.680 --> 1:41:53.439 They may have put up the fun Out album. I 1:41:53.439 --> 1:41:58.720 wouldn't even name that. That ship when they got to relax, Man. 1:41:58.840 --> 1:42:00.680 I just want to salute y'all so much. I just 1:42:00.760 --> 1:42:02.519 want you all to know that hip hop is with y'all. 1:42:02.560 --> 1:42:05.920 We with y'all, drink Champces with you. We know you're 1:42:05.960 --> 1:42:09.120 not out here uh complaining, y'all here talking the truth. 1:42:09.320 --> 1:42:13.000 I don't have complaining with what is y'all wish you 1:42:13.120 --> 1:42:15.560 which you be right from to y'all, you know what 1:42:15.600 --> 1:42:17.800 I'm saying. And um, I just want to salute you, 1:42:17.840 --> 1:42:19.360 you guys to your face. You know what I'm saying. 1:42:20.000 --> 1:42:24.920 I want to shoot you friend, like I want to 1:42:25.640 --> 1:42:28.160 try to culture that truly stuck up for us, you know, 1:42:29.040 --> 1:42:31.280 and helped us make the noise, you know what I mean, 1:42:31.400 --> 1:42:34.680 And truly seen works really wrong with this whole thing, 1:42:34.960 --> 1:42:39.680 you know, And y'all honestly, whatever he decided to do 1:42:39.880 --> 1:42:41.920 is what he decided to do at this point. And 1:42:42.040 --> 1:42:44.040 you know, I want to move all my life And 1:42:44.160 --> 1:42:45.920 like I said, I just walking about said it earlier. 1:42:46.200 --> 1:42:48.200 He's when I spoke to I supposed want to do 1:42:48.240 --> 1:42:51.479 a third person am I took called Randy actor, so right, 1:42:51.560 --> 1:42:54.040 I said what he called in and he said he 1:42:54.280 --> 1:42:57.800 didn't run a coach. He said he wasn't hit by 1:42:57.840 --> 1:42:59.920 that bar. I was trying to get him a call, 1:43:00.280 --> 1:43:02.479 and he said that he didn't want to call in 1:43:02.720 --> 1:43:05.120 because he's actually trying to work it out with you. 1:43:05.240 --> 1:43:07.280 That's true, brothers, that's true. So he said he's trying 1:43:07.280 --> 1:43:08.559 to work it out with you. Brother, so he didn't 1:43:08.560 --> 1:43:10.680 want to mess this something by you know, getting on 1:43:10.880 --> 1:43:15.479 and something. So I respected that. But so that's true. 1:43:15.840 --> 1:43:18.960 That's okay, Yeah, okay, that's true. I mean that's that's 1:43:19.000 --> 1:43:22.040 what we're trying to do. That's what we were just 1:43:22.320 --> 1:43:24.920 trying to do. But because we just we just want 1:43:24.920 --> 1:43:27.200 to find an happy place with all this, and we've 1:43:27.240 --> 1:43:30.520 been we've been really open to, uh, all the dialogue 1:43:30.840 --> 1:43:34.280 coming in from people hearing about this, fans or even 1:43:34.320 --> 1:43:36.479 people just kind of like on the outside. Whether they 1:43:36.520 --> 1:43:38.760 can look so like if we support you, but it 1:43:38.840 --> 1:43:41.360 can be like you know, why did you but why 1:43:41.400 --> 1:43:42.880 did you sign this? So why did you do this? 1:43:43.640 --> 1:43:46.960 So hopefully man even on their side, hopefully they have 1:43:47.439 --> 1:43:51.400 people having a constructive criticism and speaking to them. If 1:43:51.439 --> 1:43:54.639 you see them, see Tom see you'll speak to him. Yeah, 1:43:54.920 --> 1:43:57.080 I think he can. I think he can listen to 1:43:57.120 --> 1:43:59.640 them to the interview and actually neither way, you know 1:43:59.640 --> 1:44:01.760 what I'm because there's a lot of people who need 1:44:01.880 --> 1:44:06.599 these albums. I mean, y'all want to need these albums. 1:44:06.680 --> 1:44:10.040 This is a part of hip hop, that's a periods 1:44:10.479 --> 1:44:12.920 helping hippop. We can't tell the story of hip hop 1:44:13.240 --> 1:44:16.560 and did not have that there, because right now it 1:44:16.680 --> 1:44:19.120 isn't there. It's just that there. That's like having an 1:44:19.200 --> 1:44:22.360 empty book that's not having and that's the book with 1:44:22.560 --> 1:44:25.240 no chat. And that's that's being able to see the 1:44:25.400 --> 1:44:28.880 dual value. The value is in the culture, in the 1:44:29.040 --> 1:44:32.400 history as well as your pocket. And if you only 1:44:32.479 --> 1:44:35.599 got a concept of one, that's where the problem lies. 1:44:35.720 --> 1:44:37.800 You know what I'm seeing Where y'all came in on 1:44:37.960 --> 1:44:42.599 this so young and early, maybe he should understand that, yo, 1:44:42.680 --> 1:44:44.600 you just he just has to break even on this 1:44:44.800 --> 1:44:48.000 to make more money in other areas. The white us 1:44:48.080 --> 1:44:50.840 to be the fire festival guy. Tom, don't be the 1:44:50.920 --> 1:45:01.200 fire festival guy. Tom. Don't mean that guy that I 1:45:02.160 --> 1:45:06.559 think that we have been able to sustain and achieve 1:45:07.280 --> 1:45:10.160 since they're back. We've been doing off things and been 1:45:10.240 --> 1:45:13.240 holding our corner, probably not been holding our horner, and 1:45:13.320 --> 1:45:16.360 probably never said anything right. I mean when they took 1:45:16.439 --> 1:45:21.000 whatever liquid. That's coming about this chance to say, you 1:45:21.040 --> 1:45:24.280 know what these are kids that I signed is the 1:45:24.400 --> 1:45:27.559 kids I was part of their career when and now 1:45:27.600 --> 1:45:30.080 they've grown men. Let me do business with them as 1:45:30.320 --> 1:45:33.760 something this is this is your turn to do that, 1:45:33.960 --> 1:45:36.360 and you can leave the web and say, you know what, 1:45:36.439 --> 1:45:40.760 I'm gonna treat them like man. Maybe that contract for 1:45:40.920 --> 1:45:44.000 these kids that they signed when they were twenty seventeen 1:45:44.200 --> 1:45:48.160 doesn't hate culture and didn't directive part the situation and 1:45:48.200 --> 1:45:49.799 say you know what, I would be a business partner 1:45:49.880 --> 1:45:54.120 from here on out. Yeah. Partners, Yeah, it is the 1:45:54.240 --> 1:45:57.080 key word. Right. That was a good question. Sometimes good 1:45:57.120 --> 1:46:00.760 partners walk away and they and they don't don't want 1:46:00.760 --> 1:46:02.679 to walk away. I kind of log's dead. We cannot 1:46:02.720 --> 1:46:05.400 walk away. What I'm saying like he could not or 1:46:05.479 --> 1:46:08.840 maybe not or whatever I'm saying is being about him 1:46:09.320 --> 1:46:12.960 Georgia trying to bas storm with the language has been 1:46:13.040 --> 1:46:15.679 in the contract. He can't truly do what he wants. 1:46:15.960 --> 1:46:20.120 But really he doesn't have to say he can make it. 1:46:20.280 --> 1:46:22.200 He could make he can make it right the balls 1:46:22.240 --> 1:46:25.519 on his right. Hip Hop is looking at now. Now. 1:46:25.720 --> 1:46:28.479 Now it's not just y'all and him talk. That's true. 1:46:28.760 --> 1:46:33.760 It's hip hop true talking to him. Yeah.

He should, he should, he should should. 1:46:44.560 --> 1:46:47.040 He shouldn't be shooting forward because that's what he will. 1:46:47.200 --> 1:46:49.320 I don't think he needs to help. I don't think 1:46:49.360 --> 1:46:52.960 he needs it. I don't think so. No, I think 1:46:53.000 --> 1:46:56.640 he's well off, So why not make the people and 1:46:56.760 --> 1:46:58.760 if he doesn't need to become good partners with these 1:46:58.800 --> 1:47:02.040 guys just to the right there right the opened doors 1:47:02.080 --> 1:47:05.559 from now more a better opportunities, opportunities, it all falls. 1:47:05.560 --> 1:47:10.000 And I don't trying to count his pockets, but exactly, Famulus, exactly, 1:47:12.760 --> 1:47:21.240 that's so little motherfucker's okay, I'm not.
