When it comes to it being authentic or 32 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: from a place that guys who are not authentic and 33 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: from a place seem to be able to get away with. 34 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: What are the things that they get away? Why are 35 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: they allowed to in a sense, have we allowed it 36 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: to just be entertainment for them? Um? I think?

Okay, I shot one person but now making 44 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: it was like a seven, so they take that in 45 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: the times order everything before and then it actually works, 46 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: and then the fame comes and then you have to 47 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: be that seven and you forget that, Wait a minute, 48 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: I was just doing this to get popping. You actually 49 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: started believing the character that's created by the circle around you. 50 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: People get lost in the circus and you forget that 51 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: we're coming to look at the clowns, not be the clowns, 52 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: and you're just getting lost. But do you feel like 53 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: that's just entertainment altogether? Right? Like if you meet Marilyn Manson, 54 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: he gotta be Marilyn Manson, right or not? I'm asking 55 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: it depends, It depends. It depends on what what Marilyn 56 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Manson is selling, right Like me, I've understood that that's 57 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: what he was on right, right, But if you see 58 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: him and catch him out, he that's what he looks 59 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: like when he's just doing what he's doing, like regularly. 60 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: Like I saw him coming out of studio with Gucci 61 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: man full ready whopped like I was right, I'm like, yeah, 62 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: that's cool. You know what I'm saying. It's like, so 63 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: if you you I think I think they I think 64 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's for black people and 65 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: white people is different. White people can actually create the 66 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: character and becoming Black people are getting the character created, 67 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: and then it's like they're fighting with if I'm really 68 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: it or if I'm not, and it's just not it's 69 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: just weird power struggle that come with being famous and 70 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: not doing it the way you wanted to do it, 71 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: if that makes any sense, not being a hundred percent 72 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: authentic to what your brand and your mission is and 73 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: all the time, Like when I met you, right, it 74 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: was around the Molly Wood time, and I left that 75 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: studio feeling like this nigga everything rapping about, right, because 76 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: I was off of all kind of ship. Turned out 77 00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: a lot of fun at time, but I was just 78 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: like and and that's the thing where I believe in 79 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: the entertainment side of it, right, But I personally do 80 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: appreciate when I meet somebody that's about their craft, right, 81 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: if they kind of live in that space of like 82 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: when when you meet a player, he all about the 83 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: players ship and he's very player in real life, or 84 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: if it's a nigg about you know, beating niggers up, 85 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: popping his pistol, you meet him like, oh I feel 86 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: the worl like I get it, like it makes sense. 87 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: Like when I met fifty cent but I hung out 88 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: with I was like, oh, fifty with all he with 89 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: all of it. I think he got a little knife ony. 90 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: You don't got me like that. You know what I'm saying. 91 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: You got me like that? Huh Okay, I appreciate it. 92 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: That's the same way all the time. Yeah, I feel 93 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: the same. The scary selling point isn't it's scary or 94 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: detrimental in a sense to like because music is so 95 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: influential and so powerful in terms of people wanting to 96 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: be something or sing a thing that is successful and 97 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: wanting to even if it's whatever it is, emulate the success. 98 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: That's the tough part of it because if you're truly 99 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: being yourself, you're not doing it to be emulated, and 100 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: that's where the trouble ares. Like I feel like he's 101 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: being himself. Of Course, when I was doing Mollywood stuff, 102 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: I was just being myself. I didn't think I was 103 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: like I'm about to change this and we're gonna have 104 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: me to do it. That wasn't the play. I'm just 105 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: talking about my day. So it is like it's a 106 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: their line because me, just me personally, I got lost 107 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: in it because the music was getting hot as fuck, 108 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: but I wasn't that no more. I had stopped doing 109 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: this ship maybe a year or two before anybody even knew. 110 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: But it was like this character got big, he got big. 111 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: I was having people like it was weird things where 112 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: like the crowd is cracking, but I have some young 113 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: dagger walk up to my man and I just took 114 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: eight of them trying to get like you. I'm like, whoa, 115 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: what do you mean that's not what no, no, no, no, no, 116 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: we're not doing that's after I handle my man. I 117 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: hand niggas walked up to me, hand me. Hand niggas 118 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: come up to me like, man, I made three million 119 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: dollars that ship dropped nick ship boom, and I'm like, man, yeah, 120 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: that's what's up. But that means it's a gaggas high 121 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: out of here tripping, you know what I'm saying. So 122 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: that's where I'm thinking about the effect, right because it's 123 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: like yeah, like okay, yeah, I'm monetizing and I'm having 124 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: and I'm really just telling my truth. So it's a weird, 125 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: a weird line. But it's like Okay, well, what are 126 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: you really here to do this? Mike is a motherfucker. 127 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: Guess we're using this for good. The people evil yourself. 128 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: It's hard to tell people, and that's only a hip hop. Yeah, 129 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: it's hardly hip hop. It's hard to tell guys not 130 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: to tell their story, right, you know what I'm saying. 131 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: That's like impossible to tell, you know, to tell in 132 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: our tist how to paint what colors to you is 133 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: because that story read is imprinted on his gift. You 134 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like whatever he went through, um, 135 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: that's that's that was nourishing to what he's now projecting, 136 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's like it's hard 137 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: to tell a guy like, man, you shouldn't told the 138 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: gun and you shouldn't sell the be ship when you've 139 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: when you've told it the gun and sold the ship. 140 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: But so got him there. So it's like so it's 141 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: like it's almost like, should guys be looking to grow 142 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: out of it jay Z? But it's very hard to 143 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: grow out of it. And it's in my opinion right 144 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: and jay Z is a different story because jay Z 145 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: was always a progressive rapper and he also came in 146 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: the game as a grown man. Jay Z didn't catch 147 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: didn't catch his wave until seven years old. He's talking 148 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: about some of these kids who coming in a seventeen 149 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: eighteen my house may be still in a mama house, 150 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: are in the group whatever it is, and they're rapping 151 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: about street rap. So and what we do know about 152 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: the street is that the streets don't really grow. Right, 153 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: we can all go back to wherever we're from and 154 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: find the same ship going on that was going on 155 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: there when we left. Right. So for jay Z, when 156 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: I say being a progressive rapper, he was always rapping 157 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: about business. And if the business at that time was 158 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: the dope game, that's still a business. There's no yeah, 159 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: there's no real business. And robbed the nigga shot up 160 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: a couple of niggas. Are you know this bitch, and 161 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. There's no real progression in that. Because 162 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: now when this nigga starts rapping about being married, he 163 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: actually looks soft. When jay Z says what's better than 164 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: one billion? There two, which is still the same thing 165 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: about being married, it sounds but when you got the 166 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: dog gass nigga like, yeah, but I love her. What 167 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: are you talking? I can't love nobody, right, That's a 168 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: very hard space to live in, especially when your finance 169 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: depends on it. That's the pial, right, that's the pial, 170 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And like like, that's when 171 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: it gets tricky. And that's where this lost thing happened, 172 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: where you know, I know artists that went through it 173 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: and and just I'm figuring out ship, like just figuring 174 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: it out, like whoa. And I'm watching a lot of 175 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: my my peers, like you know what I'm saying, And 176 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: I'm watching like Quo through the growing pains like that 177 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: got lost in the bag chase. Do you get what 178 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. You start looking at the let's let's just 179 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: use the word analytics, since it's a good word. You 180 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: look at the analytic and you see what people are 181 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: buying into and sometimes you don't. You can't manage your 182 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: way out of it, because this is what this is 183 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: the cell, this is the you know what I'm saying, 184 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: I got I got eighty nine percent right here. You know, 185 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: when I post these other things, I'm you know what 186 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: I'm saying, I get two percent over what I'm saying. 187 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: The fall off is real. But when I do this ship, 188 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm at eighty nine percent. Yeah, you can become a 189 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: slave to that. You can become a slave to it. Yeah, 190 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I think you know what 191 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: and this is this is funny. I'm having one of 192 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: the moments. But that's probably why they always want to 193 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: remember the time, Like you let us handle the books 194 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: and then you do the talent. You're the talent. All 195 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: of us have went through that time. That's problem. That's 196 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: the part is probably why because as an artist, you 197 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: still want to please no matter what nigga say. It's 198 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: about you want your joint to come on in the room, 199 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: light up. You want people, you want your ship, and 200 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: it's nothing wrong with that. You shouldn't want to be 201 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: booboo like I don't give a funk with nobody talking 202 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: about you're not gonna ever sell me that. But that's 203 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: the ones that we're the ones that understand both sides. 204 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: You have to understand being a consumer and a motherfucking seller, 205 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I feel like as a producer, 206 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: you get that, so you can teeter the line. It's 207 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: probably one you do better than the other, but you 208 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: understand both sides as a writer and a producer, which 209 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: most people don't know. Right, you are right, right, right. 210 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't know, like your big records 211 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: you produced. Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like 212 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: people didn't know that, you know, I mean, people didn't 213 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: know that problem was a producer on like what you 214 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like like these records you like, 215 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: I'm actually win the studio and see you making beats. Yeah, 216 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But but aside from being 217 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: a beat maker a producer, were you really in there? 218 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: I mean turning things up, turning the knobs down. Okay, listen, 219 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: this vocal ain't right. We gotta shift this. We need 220 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: to put this on top of here. We need this 221 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: type of you know what I mean, plug in on there, 222 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: like that's full production, you know what I'm saying. So 223 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: being in that space, like it was crazy. Man. When 224 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: I first met you, I was like, Yo, this guy 225 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: really is a Swiss army knife. Like this guy really 226 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: a Swiss army knife. But I always wondered, right, and 227 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: I feel like knowing you all these years now, I've 228 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: kind of gotten my answer. I always wondered if it 229 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: was going to be enough for you? What do you mean? 230 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: Like right, Oh yeah, I always wanted that from the 231 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: from the day I met you. You know what's crazy. 232 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: The crazy thing is, like you know, y'all know, I 233 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: was in the studio a lot. I'm twelve fourteen hour 234 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: a day studio guy man, and it's like wow to 235 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: stick my head out and say, wait a minute, a 236 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: bunch of sig You get what I'm saying. And it 237 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: all works the same way. You know, if you understand production, 238 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: you understand writing, you know how to sell records, and 239 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: you know how to make hits. If I want to 240 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: sell it, I know not to send the vocal to 241 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: make it real loud may get sucked up. It probably 242 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: not even sound in the ask. I'm not given put 243 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: them all. Make it so they can know what they've done. 244 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: It that and then you know the ones like I'm 245 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: on this one because they're gonna hear the difference when 246 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: I sent it back. Yeah, yeah, I'm saying something. Learning 247 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: when to do that has what sticking my head out 248 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: has done, you know what I'm saying Like, And I 249 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't have never known I wanted more than music because 250 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: the thing is that's what shocking to mean that you 251 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: said I never thought about nothing else than like, man, 252 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: I just like doing music, Like I just want to 253 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: sit in here and do the music. Maybe I'm just 254 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: trying to escape other ship, or maybe I know that 255 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: this can change something. I just I don't know. Whatever 256 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: it was. It was like if I got down time, 257 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: if I'm gonna be sitting somewhere, I'd rather sit think 258 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: where I got all my weapons, unless I'm sitting at 259 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: the house or with the kids.

It's actually a very Southern 683 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: way of thinking, and it's why they've done what they've 684 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: done and yeah, my roots is from Louisiana. I guess 685 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm around some good guy that 686 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: it may look like it's a different way, but really 687 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: think about it and just go look at what's in 688 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: the paint, the black and white, the numbers is when 689 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: I when I start going with Diamond and start going, 690 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: we said we yeah, we got a club.

Why that's not. I 727 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: don't like shopping by myself. That that's not that. I'm like, 728 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: well that's not. That doesn't make sense. No, I don't 729 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: come from that. So now I think people get it 730 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 1: now that everybody's went through this year of having to 731 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: really go against their labels and find out how much 732 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 1: the streams is and have to go really you have 733 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: to get back just back in the in the grarded 734 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 1: things and really do for yourself.

To me, I don't know no other way. 739 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 1: So that's why I'm like, I don't understand the problem. 740 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: No that I'm comfortable. This is no. This is what 741 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: independent is.

No, you're not gonna 810 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: You're not gonna tweak at all. That's what that is. 811 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,799 Speaker 1: It's just another way to get it from the looking 812 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,840 Speaker 1: for the tweet. Now I gave you that bag, I 813 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,879 Speaker 1: gave you another for the best weed in the town. 814 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 1: But no, no, no, So what puts you in the 815 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: space to say, Man, you know what a new coffee? Uh? 816 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: The music? I right, the music, the music I was doing, 817 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 1: but I had changed like the whole way out in 818 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: my process. Instead of recording the night, only recorded in 819 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 1: the morning. So in the morning, this is what I 820 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 1: noticed I was doing. I was smoking weed, have a 821 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: cup of coffee. I made it where I'm gonna wake 822 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,680 Speaker 1: up and do this and then from this time this time. 823 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this because I wanted to do all 824 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: these things, but I knew my I lacked organizations. So 825 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: I said, fucking I'm just gonna really write me out 826 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 1: of schedule. I'm gonna work on my music this time 827 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: and work on this from this time, and record from 828 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 1: this time and this time. So during that process, I'm like, man, 829 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 1: what am I gonna call this? Because it was just 830 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: different for me to style of music. I was waking 831 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 1: up and just talking about the first thing I was 832 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 1: thinking about as just as opposed to being at night. 833 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: I hadn't been loaded all day, and it just was 834 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 1: a different thing. But I felt this different balance, you 835 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. My life was just changing. I'm like, ship, 836 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,320 Speaker 1: Let's call the ship Coffee because it's gonna be the 837 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 1: name of the albums. It was more so like, let 838 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 1: me figure out a way that I can keep a 839 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 1: three month income coming off an independent sale. It was 840 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: a math play, honestly, and I was like, I know 841 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: what I generate streams, this, this, and that. I know 842 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 1: this can't go like this boom boom boom. I can 843 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 1: set up a few of these throughout the year. Really, 844 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: That's how I started. So I started liking the Ship 845 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,400 Speaker 1: and I had I'm like, I'm doing the music and 846 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, cushion, orange juice. I'm like, man, what 847 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 1: what what I wonder? Why is it where it started? 848 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,719 Speaker 1: Orange us coming been cracking. I'm like, well, fuck it, 849 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: let me at a coffee. I want to make sure 850 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,399 Speaker 1: I have some merch, make sure I have some things 851 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 1: to go with this that you know, just build it out. 852 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: And that's when the brand shout started. It was like, 853 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: well Ship, what kind of coffee could I do? You 854 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 1: went down the rabbit. I was like, well Ship, I 855 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,800 Speaker 1: don't want to do weed coffee. That could be different. 856 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,720 Speaker 1: There's some homework on that legal Ship was weird. CVD 857 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,200 Speaker 1: coffee was untouched. Nobody was there. So it was like, 858 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: well Ship, I could put to spin on coffee. I'm new, 859 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,399 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a new face. Nobody over is even over 860 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: here in this all little artists are doing different kind 861 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 1: of drinks, like, well Ship, let me just figure out 862 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 1: how to do it. And then went through the process 863 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: of learning started and Ship got the bags in front 864 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 1: of us. But that was during the process. It was 865 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,359 Speaker 1: more so just stemming off of trying to build off 866 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 1: of the music. Yeah, what I'm saying because I think 867 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: that's the that's the biggest thing too with with music, right, 868 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,359 Speaker 1: I tell people at this point, the music is free 869 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: to a certain degree. Right, We're gonna make our money 870 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: off streams. They chopped that Ship off what they chopped off, 871 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 1: But it's about being able to use the music, which 872 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 1: is the cool actually sell everything else. And it's always 873 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,479 Speaker 1: been just merched. Right. Everybody's like I'm gonna tell the teacher, 874 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling hoodie, which is all good because people want 875 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 1: to represent that, But what about these other things that 876 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,879 Speaker 1: we can sell, like this coffee right, like this has 877 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,919 Speaker 1: a price point right no matter what. People to drink 878 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 1: coffee that love coffee. They may not even know who 879 00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: problem the rapper is, but they just like somebody else 880 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 1: who did no problem to rapper was drinking it. It 881 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,399 Speaker 1: was like, men, you should try this. Yeah, we wanted, 882 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: we definitely want the brand to not I wasn't even 883 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 1: telling people at first. It was more so I just 884 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,320 Speaker 1: wanted to stand along, like I like the name to 885 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,280 Speaker 1: kind of speak for it, but theah man, like I wouldn't. 886 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 1: I really looked back that, like I went through this 887 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: rebrand thing just mentally in my life and I was 888 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 1: just changing, and I looked at like instead of looking 889 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 1: at all the wrong ship that we probably did, Like, 890 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,279 Speaker 1: what did I like about the money would run?
