Speaker 4: latest shit is my greatest ship. That's you feel you

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like I saw that's the zone

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 4: I'm in period right now. I feel like, I mean,

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 4: you know, I've had certain people hit me like bro,

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 4: you like the most versatile nigga the game that really

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 4: ever seen it. It's just been a development thing. But

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I just feel like where I'm

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 4: at right now, my latest is my greatest Man.

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 5: You felt like artists went to you in the beginning

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 5: more on the let me go to him for my single?

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 5: Or the parashit and what was the Drake single? The

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 5: trophy trophies, like they went to you on that way.

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 5: And now I feel like you only do albums with

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 5: people like it's tough to get one off with you.

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 4: I mean I just did Don Tolliver single, only did

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: one on his album. He got a number one album

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 4: right now, So it's like I still do the ship.

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 4: But certain artists, when they really come through and they

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: see what I'm doing, They're like, no, I can't leave you.

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 4: I gotta stay. Like look at you know Na's first Grammy,

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 4: you know, come around, just fucking around, bro, were just

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 4: having fun with this ship, and I'm just trying to

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: allow them to like to still be then. Whether it's Sean,

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 4: whether it's not whoever I'm working with, just do you

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: to the max. I'm gonna do me, nigga. We both

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: know we're good. Like this shit gonna go somewhere period.

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 4: That's how I look at it.

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: What you prefer though? Do you like getting into one?

34
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 4: I like to make music, bro, I can't even call

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: it tolor.

36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 5: Who fucking album? You think I wouldn't like?

37
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, crazy melodies baring none. I had ten songs with

38
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: the nigga at one point they was talking about using

39
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: six of them. They only use one. That's how the

40
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: game going. That's what you just gotta take and stride.

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: Like before, when I was the younger me would have

42
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: been probably some way like oh, these nigga's gonna tell

43
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: me the whole all these beats and they don't use

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: them Like it don't matter though, Like make what you can,

45
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: nigga and keep keep it pushing, bro.

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 5: But with that strategy of like working with the younger

47
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 5: artists like Don Tolliver and then also working with NAS.

48
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 5: Do you switch in the mode of all right, I'm

49
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 5: kind of Yoda to the younger guys, but Nas is

50
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 5: Nas to you. It's a different approach and how to

51
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 5: make those records and where to overstep and when not

52
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 5: to say certain things or let people do shit and

53
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: be like, yo, let me show you how to make

54
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 5: this record.

55
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like I feel like even new

56
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: artists they might have, they got damn there more confidence

57
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 4: than the Ogs because they don't give a fuck. They

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: think everything they do is stadium Marina level shit, which

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: is beautiful for me because I'm working with niggas who

60
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: got records that's popping now, and I'm like, damn, these

61
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: niggas come in to the studio like, yeah, nigga, this

62
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: shit out of here off first rip, and I'm working

63
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 4: with the Ogs and they'd be like, hold, let's think

64
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: this shit out a little bit. So it's a nice

65
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 4: balance to see both sides. And I just got man,

66
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 4: so much knowledge, bro like to apply to both sides

67
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: from this shit because I can take the energy of

68
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: you know, a young nigga that to come in and

69
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: do three songs in an hour versus a nigga who

70
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: like Fin to write out all the lyrics and make

71
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 4: sure every line perfect, Like I could balance that shit out.

72
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: Did you learn working with a legend like Nas?

73
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: Like, what was something you learned creatively that you took

74
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: from Nas and the way he creates and added it

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: to the way you create?

76
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: Man? A whole lot, Bro, a whole lot. But to

77
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: be like, be super intentional about everything that you're saying,

78
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: like like, make sure the shit is facts, make sure

79
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: the shit is solid information. And going back listening to

80
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: I mean I was young when Nas was you know

81
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: what I'm saying first coming out and shit fucking didn't

82
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: even imagine me making music. But going back here and shit,

83
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: I'm like, damn, he always been this critical thinker. He

84
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: always been like he doing this on the past and

85
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: able to put it in context and guide you through

86
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 4: that shit. It's just crazy, man. So I don't know,

87
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: I just I learned plenty from Bro.

88
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: So you you actually went back and started like listening

89
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: to a lot of his old ship once you started

90
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: creating with him, Yeah, for.

91
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: Sure, that felp. Man, Like when we was doing the

92
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: first Kids Disease. I remember just one day just listening

93
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: to all the intros from all his albums and just

94
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: like making sure that, like the energy, what he was saying,

95
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: what I was doing on the production was gonna make sense.

96
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 4: And I'm like, yeah, this ship line up like this

97
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: where he had in life. Now he not fucking twenty

98
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: some years old. He is however old he is, and

99
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: I just got to let him do him And I'm

100
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: a compliment that shit.

101
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 5: I feel like we're not And I don't know Nas,

102
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 5: but just from watching him my entire life, I feel

103
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 5: like NAS probably don't really fuck with people like that.

104
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that a bad way. NA He's not.

105
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: He don't have so even exactly, but even when he

106
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 5: didn't have to, I feel like Na's probably just still

107
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 5: didn't fuck with people, Like he kind of kept to

108
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: himself and did what he wanted to do.

109
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: But when he fucked with you, he fucked you, bro,

110
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: Like then came to my mom birthday parties and shit

111
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: like that, Like it's like niggas in the game. Niggas

112
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: that's like super in my age group that won't even

113
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: do that. He Like, Nah, I really fun with this nigga.

114
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 4: He see the he see the energy and the serious

115
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: niggas the time I'm putting into very thing we're doing.

116
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,280

117
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 4: this guy, which is is beautiful bro to see. But

118
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 4: it makes from personality though, Like because I also feel

119
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 4: like even if you have the hottest speaks now, I

120
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: still wouldn't sit and do an album with you, Like

121
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: was there some type of oh yeah, strain connection that

122
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 4: you'll hit because of course the music is great on

123
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 4: both sides.

124
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,599

131
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: You know, we ain't ain't we ain't really with the

139
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: clickbait shit, like if you say something because you really

140
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: feel that way being honest. I just think that cameras

141

Speaker 3: were around and she got out, and but you said

142
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:21,479

00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: Face, I know you that that's like you.

149
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: I wish that never got out because it was a real, honest,

150
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: vulnerable moment that you was trying to have. Bro.

151

172
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: I think you. It regonated with a lot of people.

173
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: It was like just give us the music, no for know.

174
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean I just was in that moment.

175
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: I was like I said, I was blitzed off the

176
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: handy or whatever the fuck bro, And I just I

177
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: just was like, man, I just felt I just felt

178
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: compelled to be like man, bro like this ship hard.

179
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: It just really beat us in the studio and I'm online,

180
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: I'm seeing Hooplin, I'm seeing Niggas is just doing all

181
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: type of shit. That shit cool, but like, who was

182
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: really making what that's all I was saying, what.

183
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Do we really care about?

184
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 5: But even with that type of ship, because I've a

185
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 5: thousand times, especially on a podcast for fucking five years,

186
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: I've said a bunch of shit that I meant. I

187
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 5: was just mad the way I said it and it

188
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 5: came across and how it was presented. But I hasn't

189
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 5: get to realize after. I'm still happy I got it out.

190
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 5: I'm glad it came out. It was a reason I

191
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: could now move forward and realize I shouldn't get drunk

192
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: on camera and just say some wild shit. It's idea

193
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: you still I am glad you got that ship out

194
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 5: because I felt what you were saying that entire thing,

195
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 5: especially at that time because we sat and I'm someone

196
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 5: that I like Donna. I think it's a good album.

197
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 5: I still hated how long that shit was. It's like,

198
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 5: are we caring about the music at this point? Because

199
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 5: this shit is dragging? Now we're just doing a master

200
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 5: class on rollouts and bullshit, And yeah, ain't that one

201
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 5: for me? I need the music. If that was a month,

202
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 5: I would have been cool with it. Shit just dragged,

203
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 5: like so when you said it, I was like, I'm

204
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 5: glad somebody somebody said that mattered in's life set it.

205
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I got a lot of people that

206
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: hit me and was like you like, you know, Yaker

207
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: buy your whole life. Just ain't got enough money with

208
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: all this. You got real people. That's like, man, nig

209
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 4: gotta feel you, bro. So it's like I'm just leaning

210
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: on that. Whether I don't even take you know, the

211
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: good compliments or the negative ship no type of way.

212
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 4: I just like all it with a grain of salt,

213
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 4: like it is what it is. That's how you feel

214
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 4: the way to look at it. But like you know,

215
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 4: that ship just was perspective man, like it's always gonna

216
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 4: be fifty fifty. Some niggas gonna love it. You gotta

217
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: just keep doing you.

218
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: You had a he was playing some records in there

219
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: a couple months ago. He was playing the joints with

220
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: that you did with Freddie and uh Big Sean you

221
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 3: are You're like in the You're like the guy now

222
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: because I think a lot of your best ship is

223
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: from people that you really.

224
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: Fucked with on a personal level. Yeah, you know what I.

225
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: Mean, Like I think that that's something that I've been

226
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: noticing with you, like is that something that you try

227
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: to do, like if I got a connection with whoever

228
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: we try to get something done, or is it just

229
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: something that you're like, fucking let's.

230
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 4: Just thinking about it right now. I mean I feel

231
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: like if you come to me and you got this

232
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 4: idea in your head of like, oh, I need some

233
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: shit that sounds like it's already in the top ten,

234
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: Like I need a record that sound like this or

235
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: some shit like that, It's probably not gonna work out

236
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: with somebody like me because I literally just create song

237
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: by songs, bro, and try to just max out and

238
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: make that song the best it could be. Certain people

239
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: they can't hear past, like if that shit don't come

240
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 4: on it sounds like what or fucking whatever, some simple

241
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 4: easy shit that a nigga could just hop on and

242
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 4: win with, you know which I mean I do have simple,

243
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 4: easy joints too, But at the same time, bro, I'm

244
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: always trying to push it. Like every beat coming from

245
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 4: me pretty much gonna sound different.

246
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: Right the half a mil with Dom Sir. I love

247
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 3: the end of Hills joint that y'all did with Quentin.

248
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 4: That was energy right there.

249
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: But are we gonna get back to that because I

250
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: feel like it's a space for that, you know what

251
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I feel like that ship that y'all was doing,

252
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: that was almost like y'all was creating a soundtrack for

253
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: like the summers in La Nah.

254
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 4: That's crazy, bro, because at that point in my life,

255
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: I was living in Beverly Hills. I had this crib,

256
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: this stupid crib. I was living there. Don't look right

257
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: before I had my son. A couple of years for

258
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: I have my son. That was like that was that

259
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 4: was that was the turn of like you had the

260
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: stupid vacation backyard and I just was in that energy

261
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: so making in the Hills and the joints. We was

262
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: really in that, bro like it was it.

263
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 2: Was some dope mission.

264
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: That's domb already. Yeah, yeah, West, I would love one

265
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: to yellow album.

266
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: He talked to the females on his ship man like

267
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 4: it's new joint.

268
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm fucking with man. That sound good, sound good. But

269
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: I like that half a mial shit. I liked them

270
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: I was doing. And Quentin, for whatever reason, I was

271
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 3: just talking to one of the homies about this, like

272
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: he was black ball and everybody kind of not fucking

273
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: with him, which I'm like I don't think Quentin ever

274
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: did anything wrong.

275
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: Nah, I mean really the serious rulee, how shit got

276
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 4: out or whatever the ship was. I just know that

277
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 4: like that niggas, he's a solid motherfucker like a with

278
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: Quinton on a personal level. He put up on me

279
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: last night. That's just my dog like he just come

280
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 4: kick it, like, let me hear what you got. Let

281
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: me that bro. I'm gonna say this own record, Quintin Miller,

282
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: one of the coldest niggas in this ship with.

283
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: You on that. You know what I'm saying with you

284
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: on that.

285
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: But when you're working with people that's that's bigger than you,

286
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 5: and it's not even a Drake or Meek thing. It's

287
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 5: just that situation and all that energy that came, somebody

288
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: needed to be the pawn. And I don't mean that

289
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 5: in a disrespectful way, but somebody needed to take the

290
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 5: blame off all the bigger people that are over you

291
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 5: and put it on somebody. And that's the unfortunate part

292
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 5: that I feel bad for quitting in that whole situation,

293
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 5: because he had to be the sacrificial lamb somehow, because

294
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 5: even I don't think I don't think Drake was mad

295
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 5: at him, and I really don't think me was mad,

296
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 5: but somebody.

297
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: Had record say this to me to cut you off.

298
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 4: I think Drake should do a song with Quintin. I

299
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 4: mean he might not ever, especially after he's saying this ship,

300
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 4: but he should do that. That ship would be hard.

301
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 4: That would be some real nigga ship.

302
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: Quinn is talented, man, you know. Like I said, I

303
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: know that whole situation has laid us to it. But

304
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: from what I know, I guess with the rest of

305
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: the general public knows. I don't see what Quintin did

306
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: wrong in that instance, you know what I'm saying. Like,

307
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: I know it's other hands involved in that or whatever,

308
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: but that was.

309
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: A ship like where Drake was like, nigga, don't fucking

310
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: play these references. You know what I'm saying. I don't

311
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: know that in and out of that, so I can't

312
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 4: speak on that. But I'm just speaking off of how

313
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 4: I know Quinn. He is solid, motherfucker, real nigga.

314
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: He comes across like he's a solid dude.

315
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 5: The Quentin ship with Meek and Drake both getting mad

316
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 5: at him, that's like the equivalent of when your girl

317
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 5: cheat on you, you mad at.

318
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: The dude right like, ain't do nothing wrong. He did

319
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: his business.

320
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 3: She's telling him, she's telling him she's single, Like you

321
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: know what I mean, you don't know, went.

322
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 5: In there to help that on some records and minded

323
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 5: his business, put out a statement and saying, Yo, I

324
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: love everybody. And now all of a sudden he getting

325
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: beat up in a foot locker store or some ship,

326
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 5: and now Drake mad dissing him too.

327
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, man, working with Drake?

328
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: Is that to you right now?

329
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: Because obviously Drake is probably the biggest artist in music

330
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: right now.

331
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,840

00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,000

366
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: can't add crazy shit, Bro, no cap. I came to

367
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: this studio Nigga in two thousand and six for Fontana.

368
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: I had a Alexis sc four hundred I was I

00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 4: was eighteen or nineteen. I was nineteen at the time.

370
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: I drove to Challis Bro and he was in here

371
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: with Sean Garrett. Sean Garrett just wrote Summer Walker new single.

372
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: They was in here working on pussy Chad Dolls, Bro,

373
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: and that shit is just wild too full circle. I'm

374
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 4: in this more, fucking this, this my home now, I'm

375
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: in here fucking first two years in this studio. I

376
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: want Grammy's this my third year. If we get nominated

377
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 4: this year, I'll take that. But I would love to win.

378
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to win three grand.

379
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: Three nominations in a row.

380
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

381
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Actually this would before Gasico Mo. It was

382
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 4: lost the year before in the racks in the middle.

383
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: So you definitely have a like looking at your discography,

384
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: you have an interesting like not many people could say

385
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: they worked with Beyonce Travis Scott, you know what I mean.

386
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: Like it's just like that Big Sean.

387
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: It's just like you make music that really doesn't sound

388
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: like just one particular person. I think you can create

389
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: shit that forces creatives to be like, oh, I want

390
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: to try that, because even when Nas like the knock

391
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: on him, his whole career was people didn't like his

392
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 3: beat selection, they didn't like the way his music sounded,

393
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: the production.

394
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 4: It's crazy to me because that nigga got classics. But

395
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 4: I can feel what you're saying when it comes to

396
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: buy a body of work, and maybe some of the

397
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 4: beats just like was overpowered with how he raps. He

398
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: raps with a lot of knowledge, a lot of words,

399
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 4: So you need a bead of music that can allow

400
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: him to breathe on that ship, you know what I'm saying,

401
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: and you don't get overpowered by the beat and the

402
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 4: lyrics at the same time. I think that's just the confusion.

403
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: I don't think it was whack beats. I think it's

404
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 4: just has had to really lock in.

405
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's been sounds when has picked wack

406
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 5: beats like every other artist whatever. But I've never really

407
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 5: never understood meye because I am a nod standing that degree.

408
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 5: I kind of hated that stereotype that one person said

409
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 5: it and it just continued on. The Nas is the

410
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 5: worst beat. Yeah, he's picked some bad ones, but who

411
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 5: the fuck he also has thirteen hours.

412
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 3: Like a lot of booth want a lot of niggas.

413
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, like yeah, he went anybody to look at the

414
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: era that he was trying to navigate through too, Like

415
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 5: you went from that early early nineties to habbing to

416
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 5: navigate through the puff bad boy era.

417
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: So whole picture.

418
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 5: At that time, nas had to pick bad beat like

419
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 5: he was navigating, so no one really puts that jelity.

420
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 5: Like niggas had to be outside for real and had

421
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 5: to be moving around to see what was going on.

422
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 5: Like you couldn't just hop on YouTube and be like, oh,

423
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 5: this is cracking in Florida, this ship cracking it Like

424
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 5: it wasn't none of that nigga.

425
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 4: Oh we had to fly down there and we went

426
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 4: to a festival or a college show, you know what

427
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 4: I'm saying. In the South. Oh, we learned about this

428
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 4: these niggas is cracking. We got to do a song

429
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 4: with them, like it ain't it ain't. It's like, man,

430
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: this ship.

431
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: Even recorded, Like even the way that artists record music

432
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 3: together now, like most of the time back in the day,

433
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: you had to be in the studio together so you

434
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 3: build that energy.

435
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: Now, you could just send it emails.

436
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 4: When his first Grammy nigga in the studio together, I

437
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 4: didn't fucking send him beats to New York. That niggas

438
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: was like this where you at? This where you working?

439
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 4: I'm finna pull up. It's really that simple, Bro, Niggas

440
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 4: be thinking about this shit too much trying. I'm not

441
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 4: on no industry shit, bro, I just make music. I'm

442
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 4: just a real nigga that came up off this ship

443
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 4: because I put the work.

444
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: In speaking of and to try to like kind of

445
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 5: change directions on this. Have you been following a lot

446
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 5: of the artists selling their catalog to whatever that virus?

447
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: Yeah? For sure. I mean I didn't had three four

448
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 4: people approach me like talking about numbers and shit. But

449
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 4: I ain't. I ain't. You know, I got some records.

450
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: I feel like, shit, if I hold on these, I'm

451
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: gonna be good.

452
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 5: So I'm curious because I had when that first report

453
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 5: came out, like when the Dream was selling it, I

454
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 5: forgot who else was. I was like, damn, why would

455
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 5: they sell their catalog? That makes no sense to me.

456
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 5: Ownership is the greatest thing everything that we're taught and understand.

457
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 5: I started to look at that shit from a different

458
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 5: angle as of recent because I've been keeping my eye.

459
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: On that ship.

460
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 5: I know it because be super training, because a lot

461
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 5: of people are doing quietly, and I was like, something's coming.

462
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: And then I saw nothing was really happening right away,

463
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 5: And I was thinking to myself, all right, if I

464
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 5: could grab a hundred mil liquid in this era, and

465
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: I could know my kids could take a hundred mil liquid,

466
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 5: or I could I have something I want to invest

467
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 5: in outside of music right now, and I got liquid cash,

468
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 5: that might be the better option than my estate and

469
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 5: my kids and my grandkids trying to chase down a

470
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 5: streaming service to get my five grand a month. So

471
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 5: maybe the liquid money might be better.

472
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 4: Did y'all hear about Tina Turner?

473
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: Oh?

474
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 4: I don't even know if this is outer of just

475
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 4: some shit I should be talking about. But she saw

476
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: her likeness and ship and all that shit for like

477
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 4: fifty mili. She should have got more. Right, absolutely, turn

478
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 4: But you think of youying wax museums, right.

479
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 5: But I've just watched in this business how hardless sometimes

480
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 5: to track down your money, even if you own your likeness,

481
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 5: your money, your catalog, everything, and you start getting in

482
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 5: with lawyers and it's like, all right, we're down to

483
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 5: half a penny on a stream, Yo, I might take

484
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 5: that fucking hundred mil or that fifty mil for my

485
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 5: likeness and give liquid money to my kids, not some

486
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 5: shit they may have to chase the fuck down.

487
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 4: That's great.

488
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 3: It sounds good owning your masters and your cattle. But

489
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, but the way they cutting this dope

490
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: right now, fam, I don't know what this is gonna be.

491
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 4: Want to know, we don't know what's for in twenty years,

492
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Game, it's changing rapidly and

493
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: we just we don't understand, like what's gonna happen next.

494
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: But I feel that man getting the fucking extra forty

495
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 4: to fifty mil, that shit don't sound bad at all.

496
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 5: Because because that's something you could legitimately pass down and

497
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: your kids won't have to chase it down.

498
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 4: Exactly, because I see I see.

499
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 5: The biggest artists chasing down streaming services to get their

500
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 5: own money and money to them.

501
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: That's that's light.

502
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 5: They just do it off principal off GP, like give

503
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 5: me the money you owe me, Hell yeah, I'll sell

504
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 5: this shit for one hundred million ere It took me

505
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 5: a while to get that prospect because I was sitting

506
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 5: there like, you know, dream is one of the greatest

507
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: writers ever. He's worth more money than his catalog is

508
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 5: worth way more money than this in my head, right,

509
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 5: But then you got to look.

510
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 4: At I got thirty more bombs for the drop, like fuck,

511
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 4: you know, I'm finna sell this ship. That's man, I'm

512
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 4: fu I'm fucking with it for show. But it just

513
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: got to make sense on my.

514
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 5: What I mean, would you really consider I want to

515
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 5: ask of course I want to ask you a number

516
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 5: because that's weird. But is that something that that has

517
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 5: crossed your mind with seeing all that? Because I know

518
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 5: more it's happening behind the scenes more than public of

519
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 5: people selling their catalogs.

520
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: Like I said, I had conversations with people, but I

521
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 4: just like, I don't know, I'm sewing the zone right now.

522
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: It's like like I'm definitely just yeah, like I'm like

523
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna up. I'm going up, you know,

524
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 4: not the time I think about that. If I was

525
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 4: going down right now, I'll probably be like, yeah, I'm.

526
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: Finna get this ship. You gotta entertaining thing.

527
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: I like the fact you posted the a picture clip

528
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,280

535
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 4: watch this versus ship. And it took me a minute

536
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 4: to figure this ship out, bro, which verson wasn't to

537
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: down the k R S and uh and came like

00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: I had to download the app, put my credit card.

00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: I'm like ship right, yeah, nigga, I'm buying this.

Speaker 2: Yeah that's crazy, but you got y'all got a piece

542
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: of that though, right.

543
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they gave us a piece of feral techniques and lights.

544
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, wow, they did it right. KRS was out

545
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 4: there going dummy. I heard inside it was a different

546
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 4: ship watching it. Niggas was like k R S. I

547
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 4: liked his energy.

548
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: Cars one is you know that if you know that

549
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: hip hop and that legacy, that's that's he's coach gangster.

550
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 4: And I didn't realize that, Like it sounds like uh

551
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 4: dre studied his sound. W A was kind of low

552
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 4: key birth from listening to his ship. Nigga rapped like

553
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 4: an East Coast ice Cube. To me, some niggas might

554
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: be like what you talking about, but that nigga ice

555
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 4: one of them. I think ice Cube must have studied him.

556
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 4: I don't know who came. Definitely, that's what I'm saying.

557
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: Like everybody, this.

558
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 4: Nigga raped just like Cube. I'm from the West Coast,

559
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 4: so I'm more familiar obviously with ce voice in his songs.

560
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 5: But a fun with KRS so BDP wasn't for play play.

561
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 5: Christ is a nice guy now.

562
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: Much older and more mature. You had you had a

563
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: did you do? You feel like you?

564
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: And Boy wanted should get back in the ring now,

565
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: just because it's a big to say that.

566
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 4: Man, Bro, you're going so stupid, you gotta get back

567
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 4: in that versus ship. I mean Boy wanted to already

568
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: say he don't want to do it, I do it

569
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 4: verse somebody else, just on some fun ship. Just like

570
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 4: see how these new records work out.

571
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 5: Because it's not even a badle no more, it's like

572
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 5: a perform The sound was shitty with y'all because it

573
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 5: was I and a lot of your ship and not

574
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 5: to say that's a different crazy bro how fast ship progress,

575
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 5: not even to be on some versus ship, but the

576
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 5: JD Puff ship that came up. J JD's why I

577
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 5: have to ask your opinion on this because I feel

578
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 5: JD in the sense and I've been on records saying

579
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 5: to me, outside of Quincy Jones, Puff as the greatest

580
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 5: ear in music world history. My I love Puff, but

581
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 5: I feel JD's stance on saying, all right, there's a

582
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 5: difference here. You're a producer. I'm a beat maker, writer

583
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 5: and producer. If we were to do a versus, tell

584
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 5: me what you really did on that. And that's not

585
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 5: to take anything away from Puff because he definitely put

586
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 5: them records together, but different it's a different type of

587
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 5: ship that JD did that I could see if I'm

588
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 5: JD not getting that ring.

589
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: Put us both in the studio, just us and let's

590
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: come out and see.

591
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 4: Feeling too for real. Like it's like, man, I'll be

592
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: seeing these lists top fifty, top whatever, like yeah, come on, bro,

593
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 4: some of these niggas, you know, disrespect, but niggas I

594
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 4: look at the business man like niggas hire producers to

595
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 4: do ship for them delegate like it'd be like niggas

596
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: don't even add nothing. Like even if I do co

597
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 4: produce with some some niggas that might be signing me

598
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 4: or to my homies, I'm gonna really go in and

599
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 4: fucking put the man hours into the ship. I'm gonna

600
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 4: be with the artists putting the time into the bars,

601
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 4: adding production. Some niggas be getting put over me.

602
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 5: It can't even fucking show up to the studio by theyself.

603
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 5: That's a ridiculous thing. So I get where JD is

00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 5: coming from, Like, Nigga, I'm finna blow this NPC up?

00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 4: that's no disrespect to put foot.

00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 3: Don't worry if I write rhymes, I write checks period.

609
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: And then JD was, I don't know about y'all, but

610
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: every night I know the money and thing. I write

00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: about y'all, but every night I swing in it for.

613
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: So it's just like it's just different musical geniuses. Like

00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: makes it cool.

615
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 3: Puff gives it that lifestyle, He gives it that gloss

616
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 3: that works, you know, But yeah, he's gonna build it

622
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 4: It's all that's insane to me. That's beautiful, Like he

623
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 4: got something that he cultivated.

624
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 5: Energy he can get in the studio and inspire the

625
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 5: artists enough to want to fuck with some ship.

626
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 4: He fucking with that ship?

627
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: Is that sh makes you believe it.

628
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 5: If Kali didn't blow up to what Khaled is now,

629
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 5: Khalid would have been one of the greatest A and

630
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 5: rs of all time. She would have stayed behind the scenes,

631
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 5: it just been himself. KLi would have been one of

632
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 5: the greatest an rs ever.

633
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like you still got to put

634
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 4: him up there because I put.

635
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 5: Him with that and much more because he's done much more.

636
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 5: He has really become that person that really puts those

637
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 5: albums together and puts his face on him and he's

638
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 5: one of the best promoters I've ever seen in my

639
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 5: entire life, one of the best marketers. But if he

640
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 5: would have just been his ear and that's it, that's

641
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 5: all he ever had and stay behind the scenes.

642
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 4: Kalid, I think still would have been straight. Now that's

643
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 4: that's turn it into a brand, like niggas love just

Speaker 4: to me, but it's like, I still don't give a fuck, nigga.

Speaker 4: I show love to everybody, bro.

669
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,560

670
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: that they because you're obviously it's no you're the guy

671
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: right now. And that comes with it where you know,

672
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: because again people may feel like they're better than you,

673
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: and they make better records, they produce better, they snares

00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: with it. That insecurity comes with it.

678
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: It's like everybody obviously knows you're talented, but people have

679
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: a hard time expressing it because they feel like, you know,

680
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: it's just supposed to be competitive. And I can't he

681
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: can't see me sweat, he can't see me blink.

682
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: It's kind of like I gotta keep a poker face.

00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 4: I've been there before two though, so I get it. Yeah,

00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: Well, Sean does not need to put something out.

716
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 5: Did y'all go in thinking let's do an EP or

717
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 5: were y'all just making records at the time.

718
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: It was like this, yeo, let's put out six of

719
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: these real quick.

720
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 4: Mean, since Detroit two, we never stopped cooking. So that's

721
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 4: my shit. I mean, just like he pushing me, I'm

722
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 4: pushing him right. We talked every day, fucking whether it's

723
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 4: about the music or just about life whatever, and we

724
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: just had songs and we was like, nah, bro, after

725
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: we made a certain amount, we gotta put something out.

726
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: We gotta really make this a whole situation. Like the

727
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: song with Dirk and Bryson, this this is coming out

728
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: a little later we drop this part.

729
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 5: But I mean by the time the song with Dirk

730
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 5: and Bryson, like Don Cannons sent over a loop to Shane,

731
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 5: he said, a bunch of loops.

732
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 4: Sean sent some of the loops to g rod g

733
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 4: ROI started to bounce on it, brought it through. Was like,

734
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 4: fuck with the eight a ways. Add some more drums,

735
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 4: add some more sounds, did that, and we just built

736
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like just we always just

737
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 4: on this ship, bro, Like we didn't know what that

738
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 4: record was even gonna be. It was just Shane at first.

739
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 4: He was like, this shit is gonna be Shane, and

740
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 4: he like, fucking Bryson want to hop on his ship.

741
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: Then after he hopped on and we like, man, let's

742
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 4: get Dirk on this bitch, and it's just about to

743
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: be a whole. It's just a movie, bro, crazy, thank you.

744
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 5: I feel like shown over the last few years has

745
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 5: kind of publicly shown his growth, like as a person.

746
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about music at all.

747
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 5: I feel like he's really opened up about him being

748
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 5: depressed in him not really feeling fulfilled on certain shit.

749
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 1: And you can hear it on Troy two.

750
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 5: You could hear about the rollout with that, and even

751
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 5: listening to the EP, it kind of felt like he

752
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 5: got to the end, not the end of that journey,

753
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 5: but he got out of that mess.

754
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: It feels like a centered person.

755
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 5: When I watched that La Leakers freestyle, it felt like

756
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 5: I was talking to somebody that finally understood all the

757
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 5: bullshit that was bothering them for so long. Like the

758
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 5: most centered person I've ever seen Sean. And I feel

759
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 5: like with a lot of like the top tier artists,

760
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 5: we haven't really caught like a centered person because they've

761
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 5: disappeared and just don't say shit publicly really about their lives.

762
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 5: And Sean, I feel like, has done that to the

763
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 5: degree of a top tier artist more than anyone else.

764
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 5: So that felt watching the La Leakers freestyle is like

765
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 5: he rapping his ass. So but this motherfucker finally found himself.

766
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 5: He finally found himself for sure.

767
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 4: I think it's beautiful he talking about just like even

768
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: in interviews I didn't see him do like talking about

769
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 4: his meditation and him just really going on the true

770
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 4: journey for that shit, Like it ain't just like, oh,

771
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 4: I'm just talking out my ass. I read two or

772
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 4: three books exactly. I'm talking shit like now he really

773
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 4: dug deep to be like, man, I'm finna elevate myself

774
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: and he come in talking about and we just have

775
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 4: conversations before we even start working. It might be two

776
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: three hours the niggas just chopping it just about all

777
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 4: types of things, and it's that shit going to the music.

778
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. That's really what it boiled

779
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: down to. Like he talking about this shit as we

780
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 4: in the studio, and then he might think of two

781
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 4: or three bars like oh yeah, you gotta put that

782
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 4: in there, and then I'm there to push him to

783
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 4: be like, nah, nigga, you really gotta write that shit

784
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 4: down like or put in a voice note, whatever the

785
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 4: case may be. Do you see yourself working with like

786
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 4: any R and B acts and like we vamping it

787
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 4: sound like like legendary R and B artist? Man, for sure,

788
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: Like watching Full Project album with Charlie Wilson, you know

789
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. He was on both the NAS albums.

790
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: Like I feel like we already got come some some

791
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: type of synergy going towards sound natural that I'd be

792
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 4: hard to do something bro I do. I mean, actually, man,

793
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 4: damn I don't know if I should speak on this ship.

794
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 4: Actually I already said something about this, but me and

795
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 4: Dream got something crazy with Usher, like he put the

796
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 4: whole play together, but I produced the beat and he

797
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 4: actually he had a production to it too, but he

798
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 4: orchestrated the whole ship. Wrote the song fucking crazy, bro,

799
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 4: Like I mean, doing the whole Usher album. That should

800
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:30,880

00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 5: verse comes in.

00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, man, you're just gonna sit there quietly,

Speaker 4: it for it wasn't catching it, Like not understanding with you.

814
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,720

Speaker 4: going crazy in the spot.

834
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 5: You think Sean felt like And again I'm speaking from

835
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 5: a fan perspective, not knowing with Cole coming out this year,

836
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 5: Drake coming out this year, Kendrick supposedly coming out this year.

837
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 4: It is supposed to be coming out tonight, right, Oh.

838
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.

839
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, And in a few hours did Sean feel like, Nah,

840
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 5: I'm part of that that three because I feel like

841
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 5: everyone says Cole, Kendrick Drake Sean is always that fourth

842
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 5: that I feel should be in there, but somehow with

843
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 5: the accolades doesn't quite get in that conversation. Did he

844
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 5: want to get in the mix, but like, let me

845
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 5: put this ep out because he's wrapping his ass off?

846
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 5: Did he want to just prove some ship because Cole's

847
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 5: album Cole just wrapped?

848
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. I mean I don't think it's like a

849
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: he never person bring like they like anybody name up

850
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 4: or like oh I need to I need to be

851
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 4: up there with these niggas, Like nah, it ain't shit

852
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 4: like that. It's more so like nigga, I know who

853
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 4: I am, I know what I need to be doing.

854
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 4: I know the level I need to be at with

855
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 4: this ship in the radar I need to be on.

856
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 4: So that's just more so the focus like man, bro,

857
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 4: I gotta take this ship up to the notches I

858
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 4: know I belong at period point blank?

859
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 3: Are they any for like the up and coming producers

860
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 3: and they catch now that are trying to get into

861
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: music with the technology that we have now, Like I

862
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: feel like I say this all the time, I feel

863
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 3: like it's easier to get on or be seen or

864
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: be heard sure than it was, you know, years ago

865
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 3: coming up.

866
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: What's something that.

867
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: No, you wish somebody would have told you or producers

868
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: you would have heard a producers say when you was

869
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: coming up that you would want to say to like

870
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: the younger men, that's that's making music, definitely.

871
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously people kind of know now that you

872
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 4: can just go like you could shoot videos. However many

873
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,959
Speaker 4: videos you want to upload the motherfuckers and they gonna

874
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 4: do what they gonna do, like when you just going

875
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 4: off the rimp and just having him natural, that natural

876
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 4: fan base. I honestly, if I could go back when

877
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 4: fucking Drake was repping Surf Club and we had, you know,

878
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 4: all this shit going surf club wise, fresh with the

879
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 4: Polo situation, Nigga would have been shooting videos. Nigga, we

880
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 4: was living in Atlanta with our own spot. Fucking Polo

881
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 4: was letting me drive his Jaguar, Nigga's O six fucking

882
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 4: nineteen twenty and it's joints in Atlanta. So I'm looking

883
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 4: like you understand, I'm looking like that dude, and it's like,

884
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 4: now I could have been just shooting a surf club video.

885
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: At the Surf Club video, but we did. We thought

886
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 4: we needed this, you know, it was six oh seven.

887
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 4: We thought we needed a crazy budget. You know, we

888
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 4: thought we needed this music exec to beat this shit. Like, Bro,

889
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 4: we had fucking Drake shouting us out nigga on multiple songs, like,

890
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 4: we had niggas really trying to beat down with the click,

891
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 4: but we didn't understand our own power. And that's what

892
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 4: I had to take back. That's why I'm at this

893
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 4: zone I'm at now because I fully understand my power

894
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 4: and understand my talent level. And I also understand the

895
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 4: fucking amount of time and hours I put into this shit.

896
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 4: So everything that's coming, nigga deserved this shit.

897
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: Bro.

898
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 4: I thug through a lot of fucked up shit. Falling

00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 4: out with Kanye fucked me up for a minute. Bro,

00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 4: to really still do this shit?

902
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 5: Like I'm thinking the nigga on Black Ball and you know,

903
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 5: just being a thousand bro, it's niggas that it came

00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 4: really did through that, Nigga. How many niggas don't.

907
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,360

Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, And that's just real.

913
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: But you think you think you could have realized your

914
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: power until you thought it was taken away.

915
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was part of it. Bro likes having the

916
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 4: time having to go back into like all right, when

917
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 4: I got on and I was doing this shit and

918
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 4: I was flying out to fuck with different you know, artists.

919
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 4: I was just coming from the crib, bro, from naturally

920
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 4: doing what I do every day. I wasn't thinking about

921
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 4: the industry. I wasn't thinking about no rollout, I wasn't

922
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 4: thinking about none of the bullshit. I'm like, Nigga, these

923
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 4: beats is hard. Niggas need to fuck with these and

924
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 4: getting back to there. I'm flourishing now because it's like

Speaker 4: I know where, I know where I'm at, I know

926
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 4: what's going on, and I also know that momentum is

927
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,040
