Speaker 1: excited about it between all of us because you know

Speaker 1: Remy was gonna be on there, and we're like, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe you know they are stepping it out. We have
Speaker 1: some other friends that are going to be on this
Speaker 1: season as well. So how are you approaching What made
Speaker 1: you decide to do that? Um, Actually, it was actually
Speaker 1: a lot of interests there for a long time, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, But we was kind of hesitant
Speaker 1: to do it. They actually wanted me to do it
Speaker 1: when she was locked up, just start doing it and
Speaker 1: build up to when she came home. But he was like, nah,
Speaker 1: just going off for Other people were saying what I mean,
Speaker 1: But when we looked into it, and to be honest,
Speaker 1: they made an awful we couldn't refuse, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, good money, let's go for it. Saw something
Speaker 1: new Man and this season that they said they actually
Speaker 1: trying to have people on the show that are doing
Speaker 1: stuff that are really moving out here. Wow, Wow, I
Speaker 1: have to watch more like Rich Dollars and all those
Speaker 1: guys like that. Shout out to them, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, I ain't trying this. Nobody. The
Speaker 1: title it is love and hip hop, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's like I always looked for that
Speaker 1: whenever I did look at the show. I mean, Ryan
Speaker 1: ran exactly, because I think people go on there and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, it's gonna be different when I go
Speaker 1: on there, I'm gonna change it. And sometimes that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: But I will say the casts of people surrounding y'all
Speaker 1: as well, you know, and did you rememly have to
Speaker 1: talk and be like Okay, we're not gonna get dragged
Speaker 1: into no drama. Let's make sure they don't try to
Speaker 1: create room. Don't like that, man, she don't like to
Speaker 1: play nothing or none of that. Like she like, whatever
Speaker 1: gonna happen is gonna happen, Like I'm the one that
Speaker 1: because you don't want them to put no surprise somebody up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'd be more like that. How you said, like
Speaker 1: we need to worry about this, about it, like be
Speaker 1: on point. She'd like you listen, we're not doing all that,
Speaker 1: like what ever gonna happen, gonna happen. But they have
Speaker 1: the planner and she's the Yeah, she's like, I don't
Speaker 1: like like over thinking stuff, but it's possible and swing
Speaker 1: on somebody. Though now we can't, we can't do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: was my worry that she's on there if somebody act
Speaker 1: up and then me react and then it's on camera.
Speaker 1: But people know who to do that too and who not,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Now, there was a time
Speaker 1: behind the scenes they I remember hearing they said Poos
Speaker 1: can't travel with Remy for a little while because he'd
Speaker 1: be going nuts on people if anybody says something a
Speaker 1: little sideways. Nah, I'll be I'll be chilling, man, I'll
Speaker 1: be trying to keep that never happened. Oh nah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get away from that. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's a business, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So we're schilling. Were just positive? So are we trying
Speaker 1: to make sure what part of your putting out this album?
Speaker 1: And then you're doing loving hip hop and you guys
Speaker 1: have the song out together now as well. It's this
Speaker 1: all like a setup for your own show too. Oh yeah, definitely?
Speaker 1: We um you know, interested in getting a spinding off
Speaker 1: after this? You know it's a stepping stone. Are you
Speaker 1: trying to stay on staying with fever? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Right, definitely want to do that. Now the
Speaker 1: record you got Todd Dallas sign on the hook? Are
Speaker 1: you finally bucklingto the system and doing record? Man? Honestly,
Speaker 1: I always I always did different joints man, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's just that people don't look deep
Speaker 1: enough like my core audience. They know I always was
Speaker 1: versatile and switched it up, you know what I'm saying. But, um,
Speaker 1: the records are actually pushed out there, you might be right.
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know what I mean, get towards that,
Speaker 1: but I always had them, like on my mixtape, just
Speaker 1: to be versatile. But yeah, I'm stepping it up a
Speaker 1: little bit more. Then you have to tell your core audience.
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm not who I was before. I'm
Speaker 1: just expanding because sometimes your fans be like, what are
Speaker 1: you trying to do? Are you're selling out? You're crossing over?
Speaker 1: But I don't explain myself to them because you know what,
Speaker 1: like a lot of people, they they hit me up
Speaker 1: on social media, your path, swear man, you the best,
Speaker 1: you greatest ever. I run them into the cement the street.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. But it's like, yo, man, that's cool,
Speaker 1: But did you buy my album? Like, if I had
Speaker 1: a penny for anybody that gave me them compliments, I'd
Speaker 1: be rich. I'll been meeting the man. So I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: buy the actual project if you really believe it in
Speaker 1: your heart? You know what I mean? That's how I feel.
Speaker 1: Do you wish you would have ever remained independent throughout
Speaker 1: your whole career? Man? Yeah, I definitely wish. It's way better, yo,
Speaker 1: way better. I wish from the from the start, I
Speaker 1: never ever signed to a major. Man, even with the
Speaker 1: money that you got drive up. Yeah, the money helped.
Speaker 1: The money was good, but I think I would have
Speaker 1: cashed out better because I had such a demand, because
Speaker 1: I would just went independent. Who knows why I would
Speaker 1: have been at right now? You think the major lay
Speaker 1: yeah project, Yeah it did because when when it was
Speaker 1: time to drop the actual project, they started playing games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we backed out and we left with some bread.
Speaker 1: But the bigger picture got hurt by that because the
Speaker 1: album didn't come out. So people was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: the album. So that album that none of those signs
Speaker 1: could ever come out, I mean, got outdated. So I
Speaker 1: just had to revamp it. And I kept the same
Speaker 1: concept and the same idea, but I had to revamp
Speaker 1: because it got it was old, right, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? I saw interview recently. You said you and
Speaker 1: rem a real competitive in the studio. Man. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're competitive definitely as far as what just just like
Speaker 1: balls or like y'all can y'all tell each other now
Speaker 1: that I was whacked. Oh yeah. It's hard to take
Speaker 1: somebody close to you though sometimes I usually fire I
Speaker 1: just fire you back, man, Like remember what's trying to
Speaker 1: fire yourself. Officers fire you back. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I chilled, she shilled. She don't like the chill, so
Speaker 1: we go out. She ain't gonna chill, but just go
Speaker 1: y'all know, but do you listen? And does she listen?
Speaker 1: Like if you like? Mm, that's the bag. I don't
Speaker 1: like that. You should change that? Would you really change it?
Speaker 1: Or all? Give me down? But later on, I see
Speaker 1: people are taking my advice on the low. You know,
Speaker 1: she ain't gonna let me know on the spot, but
Speaker 1: I see that she took my vice. Just red me
Speaker 1: get disrespectful with because red Me is disrespectful. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's respectful everybody. She don't discriminate, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to change your but you know it's gonna
Speaker 1: happen gradually. I like the fact that you're not afraid
Speaker 1: that the show Black love man, Oh yeah, it's like yeo,
Speaker 1: it is not even just Blackloo, this love in general. Nah. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: it's genuinely how we feel, you know what I mean
Speaker 1: about each other. It's not a front. So when it's real,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't gotta hid it. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like I don't know when hip hop is like, we
Speaker 1: don't let him host. You know what I mean, money
Speaker 1: of a bitches, And I think that's just fake, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that's why you know we
Speaker 1: needs afraid to show. I feel like it's influential, was
Speaker 1: making other people want to do it. We just had
Speaker 1: a discussion last week because Joe Budens had said he
Speaker 1: didn't like how Meek moves with Nikki likes too he's
Speaker 1: too much of a simple with her. Is the words
Speaker 1: did he use that don't bother you at all? Nah man,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta let me grow. Man, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. As you get older, you look at
Speaker 1: life differently. And I know through my experiences certain things
Speaker 1: I did when I was younger, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be doing that no more. I want to be hit
Speaker 1: in everywhere. I want to make a sacrifice and you
Speaker 1: don't build a family. Absolutely what I'm saying. And the
Speaker 1: albums out now, who who's on the album? Um? I
Speaker 1: got a joint with me may No Red Cafe. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I gotta joint with me and
Speaker 1: Troy yaf um Ron Browns. I got DJ Premier people
Speaker 1: like that. You can't kept the real New York. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: Man's that's where I'm from. Man like, I ain't ashamed
Speaker 1: to say at one point, at one point, you got
Speaker 1: a problem, he said, J's weren't supporting you. Are you
Speaker 1: still having that problem? Oh yeah, he said, Hell yeah.
Speaker 1: Say what you got to say to Envy right now?
Speaker 1: You know, all right, Envy, Man play my record. Man
Speaker 1: plays to every everyone playing very played you every morning
Speaker 1: to the point where other people complained. The complain that's
Speaker 1: the problem. That's the problem. Though. I'm glad you said
Speaker 1: they don't care, but those are the haters. That's why
Speaker 1: I can't give me I'll need to be stop hating. Man.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I don't know what. Why
Speaker 1: did they complain about? I think and you know that
Speaker 1: we actually they said the records to New York. That's
Speaker 1: what they were saying. But I called over. I asked
Speaker 1: them to make a universal version. But you know what,
Speaker 1: that's Those are people. I need to be slapped because
Speaker 1: why a hating? Why are you hating on me for
Speaker 1: I'm playing what I gotta do to support my family.
Speaker 1: Don't try to stop me from eating, Like, come on. Man,
Speaker 1: that's good advice though to do a universal you're talking
Speaker 1: about this now I did it. I took his advice though,
Speaker 1: I did it. But um, yeah, I think that. I think.
Speaker 1: I think Envy and the other DJ show me a
Speaker 1: little bit more like they don't owe me nothing, but
Speaker 1: you know, if you feel like I'm doing something that's
Speaker 1: worth it, YO help me. And then they gave me
Speaker 1: some feedback to im like here's what the issue is
Speaker 1: and gave yeah, definitely. But I can't say he don't
Speaker 1: play my music because he do play it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean kind of time. But I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: like you know, when some of the out the town
Speaker 1: dudes come out, I need that same parade, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, going so same shot. I feel like
Speaker 1: I could take it from there. Yeah I can't. Just
Speaker 1: I mean I feel don't just play the record once
Speaker 1: or twice, like, yeah, I don't really help programming and
Speaker 1: the people. I needed consistency so I can grow and
Speaker 1: I mean really get some with Now I said, you
Speaker 1: hating on some other rappers. They probably deserved it. Trolling.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, complex what was he doing? So it's kind
Speaker 1: of like a it's like a hitting camera, you know,
Speaker 1: trolling something. They had these rappers, I'm coming rappers come
Speaker 1: in the studio. They got to work with pet Poos
Speaker 1: and he dissed them on their own track. Basically, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was watching it. They were like, oh man, I
Speaker 1: was growing up. I was, you know, listening to him
Speaker 1: since I was thirteen. I didn't. Yeah, I mean, it
Speaker 1: was just um set for complex. It was all the fun,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They actually gave them them
Speaker 1: do some exposure on the site, you know what I'm saying, right,
Speaker 1: So it wasn't yeah, because they were like, here's a
Speaker 1: link to hear this rap. Ye. Yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was all the fun. After it, we all shook
Speaker 1: hands and laughed, you know what I mean. It was
Speaker 1: it was a good look. Somebody could have that could
Speaker 1: have went wrong. Somebody could have got mad and you
Speaker 1: never know. Oh yeah, no, we wasn't gonna do that. Man.
Speaker 1: We know it was a prank and that's what we
Speaker 1: had in our mind from the door. So we even
Speaker 1: just having some fun, that's all. Man. Now. I saw
Speaker 1: another interview recently you did when you said you disagree
Speaker 1: with they sat rocket when he said in New York
Speaker 1: doesn't have a distinct sound. Oh yeah. They asked me that.
Speaker 1: I was on an interview with all I Think all
Speaker 1: hip Hop dot Com and they asked me about that,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, I totally disagree. Of course,
Speaker 1: New York has a distinct sound right now, though, I
Speaker 1: mean in the nineties they did, early two thousands, I
Speaker 1: don't know about right now. I think we do. And
Speaker 1: I used on Bobby Smurder for example. I think Bobby
Speaker 1: Smurder is a New York sound, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: not just lyrically, but you hear Brooklyn in that man,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I liked the hit Shore.
Speaker 1: I love it when you hit like things like that
Speaker 1: of that nature. Like some of these dudes you here,
Speaker 1: they don't sound like they from here, even in the interviews,
Speaker 1: even the interview, they talk like they from another region.
Speaker 1: I think that's because they're influenced by a lot of
Speaker 1: the rappers that like. You gotta think. You look at
Speaker 1: Fattip Fetti Wapp was influenced by Gucci man, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. You look at him trying to think
Speaker 1: asav Rocky said he was influenced by rappers from Texas.
Speaker 1: That Texas, so they have that sling like I was
Speaker 1: influenced by your nass, your jay Z. So those are
Speaker 1: the type of things that influence me. It is just
Speaker 1: I think they're influences, right, Yeah, that's the music. But
Speaker 1: I'm saying when they when they're talking, they see me
Speaker 1: like vocal canus. Yeah, I'm saying everything has an overall picture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: New York definitely has. We always gonna have a sound.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I use That's why I use Smirred
Speaker 1: as an example, because that's why I liked it so much.
Speaker 1: I heard that New York like that, Brooklyn. You could
Speaker 1: tell them out there, you know what I mean. You
Speaker 1: can hear and you can feel it. So what's the
Speaker 1: overall golf? Golf for papoos? Where do you see yourself? Like,
Speaker 1: what would that be ideal for you? I just see
Speaker 1: myself growing on different levels and you know, opening different
Speaker 1: businesses and getting money and just being a family man,
Speaker 1: taking care of my family. Balanced. Yeah, definitely. I saw
Speaker 1: you teet one did it? You tweeted um? So? Oh
Speaker 1: so they acting like they want lyrics again? When fab
Speaker 1: was doing the free Friday, Yeah yeah. Do you think
Speaker 1: that was a novelty thing or you think people really
Speaker 1: want the lyrics again. Um, I think because I think
Speaker 1: most of the mainstream was just paying attention because Fab
Speaker 1: did it, because he never stopped freestyling. I mean, not
Speaker 1: just myself, a lot of rot we never stopped freestyling,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Nobody wasn't really paying attention
Speaker 1: like that. But I think when Fab did it, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it shout the fab. It just made the
Speaker 1: mainstream people pay attention for a little while. I mean
Speaker 1: that's and I think especially over the old school beats. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you do it over the nineties beach It's like, oh okay,
Speaker 1: he really freestyling. Oh yeah, definitely definitely. But that never
Speaker 1: stopped though. Would you would you ever do a turn
Speaker 1: up record? Um? What you mean like a trap beat? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll do it just to show my versatility and keep
Speaker 1: it moving, you know what I'm saying, Like like how
Speaker 1: Big did when he did the um Bone Dogs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't stayed in and just lived and move in,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I cheered for men and
Speaker 1: keep it moving. You can't do it that's cool, like
Speaker 1: to be versatil. I just don't like when cass stay
Speaker 1: did you know what I mean as a fan, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Do you like what New York
Speaker 1: is at right now? Yeah? Yeah, I like when New
Speaker 1: York is at right now. I mean I just dropped
Speaker 1: my album to day. I feel like we're in a
Speaker 1: good space. It's where album coming out on Fridays now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they switched it up, and that's like a big deal
Speaker 1: to anybody, right because you know, we're so used to
Speaker 1: I can't even ever remember a time when albums didn't
Speaker 1: come out on Tuesdays. I mean, they actually gave me
Speaker 1: the option, and I chose the Friday because I was
Speaker 1: supposed to come out in June, but then we pushed
Speaker 1: back and he was like, Yo, you want to do
Speaker 1: a Tuesday because they're doing Fridays now. I say, I'll
Speaker 1: do the Friday. It sounds good, something new, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So whatever, I was with it, and
Speaker 1: the song called Michael Jackson Um. In the chorus, I
Speaker 1: made a reference to Jenna Jackson and Michael Jackson like
Speaker 1: she wanted control and I want to beat it like
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson got you know what I mean. So the
Speaker 1: chorus was kind of catchy. So I was like, that's
Speaker 1: the title of Michael Jackson, because I'm listening, listening for
Speaker 1: a sample, I'm no Michael Jackson. Yeah, yeah, No. It
Speaker 1: was just the references and the metaphors to Jenna Jackson
Speaker 1: and Michael Jackson. That's like a great description of your relationship. Okay, right, right,
Speaker 1: right exactly, Man, shout out the rim. All right, Well,
