Overcame 472 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: those kind of early setbacks. I had an outlet. I 473 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: got to write about it. I didn't hold it in. 474 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Everything that we were going through, 475 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: I turned it into my music.

It's hard when you spend that much 489 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: money and you don't get it back, you probably don't 490 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: want to do it again. And that's where a lot 491 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: of people fail because it's like the dope game. If 492 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: it ain't working out, we ain't doing it no more, 493 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, dope men, mentality or whatever. 494 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: But we kept throwing money at it, you know what 495 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm Sayzling. We paid to be on the the jay 496 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: Z Tour, the Spright Liquid Mixed Tour, you know, back 497 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: in the day, you know saying early two thousand, you 498 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean. We uh went on with jay 499 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: Z any r D. That's how I'm met for real, 500 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: um Hooper Stank. It was a rock band three eleven 501 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: and was headlining on alongside with jay Z. Who else 502 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: was on at Nappi Roots was on That's how I 503 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: met uh Anthony Hamilton's you know sizzling. It was like 504 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: a really good tour that we paid to beyond. But 505 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: it paid off because because the people who started coming 506 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: to my show. I was on the second stage too. 507 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: People were coming to my show early in the day, 508 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: like two o'clock. Even Jade him would be coming out peaking, 509 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And Uh, after that tour, 510 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: we went back to those cities and people started coming. 511 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: It worked, But what I'm saying, what was a motivating 512 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: factor to keep, you know, keeping moving because during those 513 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: dark times things didn't clicked. We believed we had something special, 514 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. We believed we we saw 515 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: the people that we were infecting already, even though it 516 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: wasn't enough. You know, when we first did our first 517 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: show at San Diego, it was only seven people in 518 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: the audience, and that was including my security. They did 519 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: the show with us on stage. It was nobody out there. 520 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: Everybody was on stage, just going. But next time we 521 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: came back it was fifty people. Next time we came 522 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: back it was a hunt it And next time we 523 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: came back at four hunting and then we started selling 524 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: out the House of Blues. And you know what I'm saying, 525 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: it's a gradual grind. Yeah, yeah, And that's what we did, 526 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: the gradual grind. And I think that's why we're still here, man, 527 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because it's been gradually growing. 528 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: And now since I shot Beyond the Stars on the 529 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 1: last album, I'm using this album The Storm to gain 530 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: planet status. I don't want to be a star no more. 531 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: I want to be a planet. Is that is that 532 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: the reason why you tour so much in two thousand 533 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: and now you did two d and four shows. Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 534 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: yeah yeah I did. Um, I did so many shows 535 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: and I still do a lot of shows, and they're 536 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: growing and they're getting bigger. You know what I'm saying. 537 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: It's still some places we ain't been. Like on this 538 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: last tour, we went to some places whereas hardly nobody there, 539 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: Like we have to start over, like a place like Lafayette, Um, 540 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: Louisiana or something like that, and never been.

All they 975 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,720 Speaker 1: saw it was the beast. We don't play with religion. 976 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't playing. I was just showing. You know what 977 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you know that's why I said. And all, 978 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,359 Speaker 1: you ain't supposed to put on your devil suit when 979 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: you come up in the church, young man. So when 980 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: did your bob feel about that? Being that she was 981 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 1: a devout Christian. She didn't. She's like, maybe, why you 982 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 1: gotta go to crazy route? You know, and I've been 983 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: through that? Why you gotta go through that? You know? Uh, 984 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, like um the nuthouse, you know, with us 985 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: having the six six triple A forty six nine and 986 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,320 Speaker 1: three up beside us and across this. You know, She's like, 987 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: you gotta wear hospital scrubs. I went through that. I 988 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: was in psychiatric wars. I used to go visit her 989 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 1: psychiatric wards and stuff like that when I was younger. 990 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 1: So she didn't want me to go that route. She 991 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 1: always wanted me to do it for Christ. So every 992 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: once in a while I'll do a song for Christ 993 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 1: on my album and the and the song the song 994 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: on there on this new album is called Need Jesus's 995 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,760 Speaker 1: pointing towards the people that say the I need Jesus 996 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: because I like dark movies or horror, or I need 997 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: Jesus because they think I'm Illuminati, whatever the funk that is. 998 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, it's successful, I need Jesus, 999 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,800 Speaker 1: I have Jesus, You need Jesus, leave me the funk alone. 1000 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,320 Speaker 1: But it don't have no cursing in it.

And he used to be a Christian rapper before, 1004 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,959 Speaker 1: so I knew that he could tell his story about 1005 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 1: how the church exiled him because he wouldn't have a 1006 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,720 Speaker 1: baby that they thought should be born. And the baby 1007 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: died within the girl and they said it's gonna be 1008 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 1: a miracle baby. And so it did not work, you 1009 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So he left her and they 1010 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: kicked him out the church. I knew he could speak 1011 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 1: on it, and he did. He murdered everything, you know 1012 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
