Speaking for myself, we have to as 178 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 13: as men and as artists focus on not trying to 179 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 13: cast a why net and get everybody. Because even me 180 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 13: as a fan, as a fan of black Star, I 181 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 13: want to hear black Star wherever I feel like hearing it. 182 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 6: But me as a fan of black Star, I. 183 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 13: Also want to trust black Star, and I also want 184 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 13: to follow black Star lead. And for us, it makes 185 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 13: sense not to cast a white net try to get everybody. 186 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 13: But for the people who are following us and people 187 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 13: who are rocking with us, let's get them first. And 188 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 13: you know what, we may have Vinyl come out, we 189 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 13: may do other things. 190 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 4: No, this is just the beginning. 191 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: And also, I mean, you know, it's a principal choice. 192 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 4: It's not like. 193 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: There's an effort to make it unnecessarily inconvenient for people. 194 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 4: I mean, from my point of view, I. 195 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: Mean it seems fairly accessible, like a usonable distance for 196 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: any listener to cover. You know, we're consolidating the experience. 197 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: We're saying you don't have to go to all of 198 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: these different places. You could just come right here, and 199 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's a question of value. If you value 200 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: what we're doing, and we've explained to you, I mean 201 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: quite clearly and in various formats, the reasons why we 202 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: why we've chosen to do this, and the principles behind it, 203 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: and what we're trying to establish and what we're trying 204 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: to reform in many ways that exists in the system, 205 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: then it's like it's a no brainer supporting a historical 206 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: project within a historical approach. So if that's too cumbersome 207 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: for you with then like just stay where you are 208 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: to be quite candid, because you know when it's not 209 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: when I here, it just bow to make things like 210 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: convenient for people per se. You know, we're not complicating 211 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: the process in this way. If the machine is it 212 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: exists now, was more amenable and fair within no problem. 213 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: But when they like in a legalized criminal enterprise and 214 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: essence and my observation, But then I mean, like back. 215 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 5: In the days, if you want a good you know, 216 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 5: gold front, you have to go to ib square more 217 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 5: might have. 218 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 4: No. No, it's not even that, I mean, it's not 219 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 4: even that. 220 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, again, there's a prevailing metric that 221 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: exists that does not take the artists into consideration at all. 222 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: It really doesn't take humanity into consideration at all to 223 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: be perfectly canon. And what we're doing is a very 224 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: human thing. So's we're not gonna let the machine set 225 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: the pace for us when we build the machine. 226 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 15: In essence, you know, you can ask you because there's 227 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 15: gonna be people that listen they don't artists that don't 228 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 15: know there's creative ways to release their music and maintain ownership. 229 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 15: And without getting into the details of your business, it 230 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 15: seems like what you did here is to maintain ownership, 231 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 15: you know, get what you're going to get something out 232 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 15: of putting it out. You could do something else with 233 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 15: it down the line. 234 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: This is the life of it. I mean, it came 235 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: out two weeks ago, you know, barely. You know, this 236 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: is just the beginning. It's it's not like something that 237 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: just came out this week and it's going to go away. 238 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: You know. 239 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: It's it's historically preserved and that's the difference. 240 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 13: And then you have to have the confidence of knowing 241 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 13: that you're in a position to do that and knowing 242 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 13: that your album, like we called it, No Fear of Time, 243 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 13: will stand the test of time. If you're chasing the moment, 244 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 13: you're chasing clout, and you're chasing something that's not actually real. 245 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 15: It's not a promo room for first quarter or fourth 246 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 15: quarter numbers and something like that. 247 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 4: Right, don't just want to do a shot with you 248 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 4: for no reason. 249 00:14:40,840 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 16: I'm d alcoholics. 250 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 4: If you're watching this today, why are you over here 251 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 4: for a second? 252 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 9: Right you? 253 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 5: I just want to say I studied you three nights 254 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 5: in a row. 255 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 4: All right.

I always feel like they try to hate 898 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 1: on it. Because he really sold a million records. 899 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 19: In the day. 900 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't care what they say. I don't know about this, 901 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 1: but they say he sold his first day. The first 902 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 1: week is the first day. If I'm not mistakes, the 903 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: first week of the first day, I believe it's the 904 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 1: first day fifty so seven hundred thousand copies. This is 905 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 1: before Spotify and all of this. We sold nine hundred 906 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 1: thousand pieces, which means he sold the main pieces. 907 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 4: And you don't want to roll it off. Let's just like, 908 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:47,719 Speaker 4: let's quit playing games. 909 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 1: Lets it kept it kept the record industry like floating 910 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,320 Speaker 1: for at least the next five years with that, and 911 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 1: it helped them transition into this whole streamer model because. 912 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 4: They was just sitting on cash and who was like that. 913 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't cold player, it wasn't YouTube, it wasn't any 914 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't any other genre. It was Kanye West with 915 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 1: a beautifully cleanly produced album. There was pure hip hop 916 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 1: and Barry Bonds, like, what are we even talking about? 917 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 1: This ship is out of control, and yeah, I was like, fifties, 918 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 1: he don't have nothing. In response to that, I mean, 919 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's he was riding in the tie 920 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 1: that Kanye created. In my opinion and from an observers 921 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 1: point of view, for me, it felt like a referendum on. 922 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 9: The on You'd be using words, I don't know what 923 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:37,320 Speaker 9: the talking about. 924 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 6: This whole town. 925 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 1: I'll been like, yep, a referendum. It's like, you know what, 926 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 1: it's like a vote. It's like it's almost like a 927 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 1: public petition. Yeah, it's not exactly a vote, but it's 928 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 1: like something that happens before a vote. 929 00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 4: But they have signed of cultural referendums like. 930 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: This side or this side is going to determine the 931 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:11,239 Speaker 1: cultural direction for this group for at least the next 932 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 1: five years, if not the full generation. And in my opinion, 933 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 1: that's what Kanye West Graduation Album did. It opened up 934 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 1: the paradigm creatively for what could be viewed as groundbreaking 935 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:36,400 Speaker 1: and inventive and also having big scale, and there was 936 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 1: no one at that type of pop culture scale was 937 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: being that creative, you know, particularly in hip hop. So 938 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 1: it's a big moment for the culture. I mean, and 939 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, this kid from Chicago to everybody stepped on 940 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 1: because he was wearing hard bottom shoes and you know, 941 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, fucking cardigans with button down shirts were not 942 00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 1: everybody justice like that, but at least once too, you know, 943 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: like you know, you know, Kanye just stayed true to himself. 944 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,320 Speaker 4: I think that's what the real powerble. 945 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 1: It's not about following the style that somebody introduced to you. 946 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 4: It's about being you. 947 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 6: You know. 948 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 9: And let me ask you.
