<v Speaker 3>and looked at as successful.

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Now thoughts, you can agree the female rappers on top

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 1>they rap about what they've been through, you know what

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, and they taking a negative lifestyle or you

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, their previous past life and turning

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>it into success in a bank roll and able to

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>provide more for their families, so you know what I mean.

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 6>I think it was once like that, like a you know,

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 6>like the Cardi B type era when Jermaine dupri was

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 6>saying mount stripper culture and stud of being promoted. But

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 6>now I feel like we have more of a variety

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 6>because I don't feel like Lolabrook is talking about the

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 6>same thing as sexy Red or in sexy Red doesn't

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 6>sound like an ice spice, you know. I feel like

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 6>it's a I think you gotta we're coming into a

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 6>wider variety of female rappers.

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that.

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't really know what a fab statement is coming

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 2>from because just like Ox said, I'm seeing a variety

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 2>of different type of you know rap that you can

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 2>listen to because Ice Spice, you know, her music is

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot different from Actually I like Ice Spice too,

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 2>but I really like Sexy Red Man. I don't know.

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>It's just something about her music in the club. It's

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 2>just even if you are man and make you want

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 2>to turn up. You know, I don't be works. I

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know what she be saying half the time. I

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. People will tell you to be true to

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>yourself or a man, make music this you and da

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>da da, and then people go do that, blow up,

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>have success, and then now it's ruining the community. But

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>she just being who she is.

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Did you see she went viral? Sexy Reil went viral.

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 3>She went to some schools and pay for haircuts and

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 3>got bundles for the kids, the girls, and they were

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 3>going crazy because they was like, why is she going?

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 3>She has a song called going to Perform. I thought

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 3>she was going to perform. That was weird.

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I knew she wasn't gonna perform because I was like, bro,

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 2>there's no way on God's green earth she by the

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 2>going there and sing towntown.

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.439
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, like choo.

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I knew that she was giving away something. I thought

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>she was probably going to be going there.

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Too, bro.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure.

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 5>It was a great deed that she did.

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:47.960
<v Speaker 6>And a lot of people saw a problem with that,

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 6>Like you said, they thought she was going to perform

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.959
<v Speaker 6>and she did not. She just you know, and she said,

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 6>you know how hard it was for her during prom season,

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 6>So she wanted to give back to, you know, the

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 6>young ladies who want to look good on a prom

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 6>night because a lot of people do hair cuts, but

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 6>a lot of people don't buy bundles.

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 1>They do real shit. Man, get back to the community,

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, and be clever with your

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>way of doing that. And I think she did that.

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>She got everybody talking on the negative level and then

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>y'all up again.

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Ademic yeah, you know, I like what she's doing. Another

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 2>thing too, I know, I know it's not on the

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 2>sheet in case you missed it, but you know a

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.319
<v Speaker 2>lot of people are talking about Little Baby Tours being canceled,

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 2>like the show's being canceled.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.439
<v Speaker 1>What do y'all feel about that?

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>About what they said because of the ticket sales that

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>his shows are being canceled. And you know, I'm always

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter looking at what you know, what's the talk

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 2>of the town is per se, But I seen like

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>academic says something about He was like, Yo, you know, uh,

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 2>these fans aren't real fans anymore. He was like, these

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 2>fans are like overnight fans that like rappers are you know,

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 2>gaining Like how you feel about that drama boy, you

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.319
<v Speaker 2>feel like, you know, the core fan bases like kind

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 2>of going away into like where people are just hopping

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 2>on trends about like who's popular right now.

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it's always been like that, To be honest

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>with you, it was just more money made in the

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>previous you know, in the nineties and the early two thousands.

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Now just you know the way streams are going and

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>TikTok and different trends. You gotta really come with substance.

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>You gotta come with something that people gonna respect you

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>for outside of just the music, you know what I'm saying.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think if you you become a triple threat,

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what makes you. You know what I mean, Like, Okay,

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>he can do movies, Okay, he cool, Okay, he got

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 1>an actual personality. He funny and real person You know

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? You might go doing movies. You know

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, and just being creative like a fifty

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>cent or a ludicrous you know what I mean, And

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>elevating your career because you use this as a platform

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>to get other things. Michael Jordan took price cut right,

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 1>he wanted the highest paid NBA player, this and that,

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 1>But if you look at how much money he was

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>making off the court, look at the way he was

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>branding himself. So now he's set up. He's still making

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>four hundred million a year, Like you gotta set yourself

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>self up like a Jay Z or Nas, you know

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. And I'm just following the blueprints. I think.

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 6>Also, you know, back in previous generations like Gen X

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 6>and you know, early Millennials, they kind of view concerts

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 6>in a different way like they would go Gen X

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 6>will go see a new addition. They would go by

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 6>records and Michael Jackson and things of that nature. And

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 6>I feel like now with this, you know later Millennials

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 6>and Gen xers and the younger generation, they want to

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 6>be the stars. You know what I'm saying. They got

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 6>they own fan base. So it's not like they trying

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 6>to see you. They trying to get they stuff up

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 6>to see, you know, to collab with you or try

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 6>to get on the same stage as you.

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 5>And I feel like that's a factor.

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.719
<v Speaker 2>As well, Like you feel like most people feel like

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 2>they can do what like a lot of rappers are

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 2>doing nowadays that are successful, because I just don't like

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the simple fact of It's like these fans are trying

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.680
<v Speaker 2>to like turn on these artists so fast because it's

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.719
<v Speaker 2>like I'm a fan of Little Baby, and then when

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I see stuff like that on the internet, like it

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>makes me agree with you, Like I feel like everybody's

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 2>looking at these artists and be like, hey, I can

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 2>do that, you know what I mean, Like why these

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 2>person has all these fans when I feel like I can.

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Do that too.

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 6>And it's they feel like that because of the Internet,

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.079
<v Speaker 6>they can get a hundred K on their TikTok and

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 6>feel like they'll start, you know, go viral off one

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 6>video and feel like, oh, I could do this, you know,

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.839
<v Speaker 6>when it really takes, like you said, artist development and

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 6>and you know, really cultivating your art to you know,

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 6>have longevity to become a jay Z. But you know

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 6>people are lazy too, But I feel like they just

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 6>get that one little spark of fame, you know, or

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 6>attention that they're looking for on TikTok or Instagram or

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 6>whatever and try to run with it.

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then you know when you gain a certain

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>following behind a certain cause, like Okay, you killed somebody,

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, So now you blow up

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.839
<v Speaker 1>all night everybody listening to your music, you know what

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean. You got to keep that up, you know

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.959
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Or you love hip hop, you know

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. A guess or whatever. You know what

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, And you might've beat somebody ass and went viral,

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Like Okay, he don't play, man,

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 1>they wasn't play. You gotta keep that up, you know

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. So whatever it is that you're doing,

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.199
<v Speaker 1>you gotta be consistent with it. If I if I'm

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>known for having that shit in the street, I gotta

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>keep that up, you know what I'm saying. Or as

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:13.319
<v Speaker 1>you come to me and I ain't got it, you

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>finna go to somebody else, you know what I'm saying. Damn,

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, My folks. In time, I

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 1>gotta get something from somebody, you know what I mean.

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>So the party always gonna go on. You know what

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and you have to keep up. You know,

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you might inherit somebody else. You're dating somebody, you know

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, and that now you inheriting the fans.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. So it's cool when y'all together.

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>But the minute you break up, the minute you do

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>something to her, she do something to you. Dah dah dah.

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Now y'all fans against each other, you know what I mean.

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta be careful how you align yourself, you

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, and be consistent at what you do.

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Whatever it is you do that you can take a break.

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>For me, it was making good music, so I gotta

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>keep that up.

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I think Little Baby's tour dates are happening like that

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 3>is because I think a lot of the artists that

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 3>are on his tour with him are new You were

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 3>artists with not bigger fan bases. So if I feel

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 3>like when he was with Dirk or him and Drake,

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 3>like people want to go to a one music fest

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 3>because it's seventeen, Drake's seventeen, So festivals are spoiling the

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 3>festival things, spoiling the tour with Little Baby, and then

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 3>he's looking out for his folks like Jo's on there.

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 3>It's artists that are new that don't have big fan bases.

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>That's how tours used to be though, That's how you

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 2>used to find out new artists.

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 3>Correct, But I don't remember festivals being like how they are.

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 3>These are. It's multiple big festivals. So I'm just you know,

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm just kind of looking at it a little different,

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 3>like yo, like what is he? Because Dirk has his

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 3>own tour, Baby has his own tour, Drake has his

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 3>own tour, when in reality, I just thought maybe them

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 3>three should have been on the tour. It should have

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 3>been Drake, Dirk and little Baby. Now them is gonna

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 3>sell out all the arenas, in my professional opinion, first

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 3>most of them having to choose because Drake's store is

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 3>gonna be a lot more expensive. He's in New York

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 3>on three dates, and people will have to be like, ah,

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 3>you got a four hundred dollars.

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Ticket and we're coming out for Pandemics.

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Still, people we got Beyonce, we got all these big people,

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Taylor Swift, we got people that really raped. And then

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, especially if you see them on Instagram and

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 3>all this, you might not want to be intrigued to

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 3>go see it. But if it's a bill with Drake

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Dirk and little Baby, I'm gonna be go over be like,

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, I'm going to that. But so to the

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 3>legacy artists who can do this on their own, absolutely,

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 3>because that's difficult.

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>And you don't know what what you know, like health

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 1>wise or you know what I mean, like just just

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 1>just mental therapy. We want all these artists healthy, you

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. We don't know what they're going

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 1>through or what came up or you know your son

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.720

<v Speaker 1>head of an emergency case that happens. Ain't spend like

<v Speaker 1>I'm saying.

<v Speaker 1>so it's safe to say you were three sins Mafia fan.

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh fucking right. Because you're from Memphis, Memphis.

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.439
<v Speaker 3>Part of Memphis, South Memphis. Can we talk about the sides,

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 3>like what's like, what's the nice part of Memphis? This

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:27.399
<v Speaker 3>is the north side.

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Nice part of Memphis used to be. I mean, it's

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>it still is, I guess in certain areas Kyeville, part

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>of German Town, this is suburbs part of South. So

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Germantown is like like south, you know what I'm saying,

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.919
<v Speaker 1>It's on the bottom, closer to Mississippi, but it's further east,

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like out of the city a little bit, you know

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Like kind of more northeast, you know

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.360
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. So Kyeville will be northeast, and then

0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.199
<v Speaker 1>even german Town would be a little bit kind of

0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 1>like it's really nice over north.

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people I've seen this from South Memphis,

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 3>and I've heard some people say they're from East Memphis.

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, West West Memphis is Arkansas, So you're from Memphis.

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 1>You ain't really claiming that because that's really Arkansas. That's

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 1>what the BT is from, you know what I'm saying,

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Like you that's Arkansas. But people be like, I'm from Memphis,

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:19.679
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, because they come to Memphis

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 1>every day.

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Community there at the state line.

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, you don't say you from Arkansas, you're from

0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 2>West West West Memphis could just be like I'm from

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 2>West Memphis.

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Was like Little Rocky from Little rock You're from Favvie

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.479
<v Speaker 1>from Fae, from anywhere else you from there? But West Memphis.

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 1>The only people that can really take you want to

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.720
<v Speaker 1>be a rapper. First I was. I was rapping in

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 1>making beats. I was a high school cafeteria king, you

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.560
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. I was always beating on tables

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know, free styling, you know what I'm saying,

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>or cats was freestyling on my beats and whatever. So

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.199
<v Speaker 1>it just kind of became a thing. The ornament on

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.359
<v Speaker 1>the Christmas tree was the little drummer Boy. Then my

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Grandmama gave me, so it was just like damn, and

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I kind of just put to into.

0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 3>The know how to play the drums.

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, a little bit. What instruments do you play? Clarinet, piano, guitar, bass,

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:05.919
<v Speaker 1>little drums? You know what I'm saying. But I'm more

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of a programmer, and I arranged and composed. I respected

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the conductor. My dad was in the orchestra, you know

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:13.479
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. And my mom was in the opera,

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 1>plus the church choir, and so it was around you.

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 3>You had no choice.

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>And that's the orchestra was my babysitter, you know what

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Oh yeah, so BOYT three or four, I

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 1>could tell the difference between violas and violins and cellos

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and trombones and you know what I'm saying, French horns

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and like this's what's good to learn early. Oh yeah,

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. Between the church. I think

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the church was like the biggest glue for me, you

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, because it was it was a

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.439
<v Speaker 1>little bit cooler, you know what I'm saying. Like my

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 1>dad was really trying to force the orchestra on me,

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>and I just got good at it just because of

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:49.719
<v Speaker 1>how much anything that you put in eighteen hours a day,

0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteen hours a day, ten hours a day, you gonna

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 1>master it, you know what I'm saying. And you didn't

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 1>done this five, ten, fifteen years. So by the time

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 1>I kind of, you know, my brother introduced me to

0:21:59.920 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the beat making process. He took me to my first studio,

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.679
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, and like that was like

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the feeling of being in the spaceship, like Okay, I

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 1>can control this on my own pilot. I can older

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:15.360
<v Speaker 1>you at this time, when you're probably twelve thirteen, first

0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 1>studio for.

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.360
<v Speaker 3>A young age, you already knew, did you know at

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:21.679
<v Speaker 3>that time you were going to be a producer or

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:22.000
<v Speaker 3>you were.

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was going to make it to the NBA. Honestly,

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. I was a slam dunk contest.

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:29.919
<v Speaker 1>Everybody from Memphis State they going to the NBA. We

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>hope it. I had a few D one, D two scholarships. Okay,

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:36.479
<v Speaker 1>it was going down for me. You know it just

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 1>at my height five eleven six foot, you know what

0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean. You point guard all day, you know what

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. And I wanted to be there two the

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.400
<v Speaker 1>three on the wing. Had I got six three, sixs four,

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I probably would have been in there.

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 6>And this is Mephis in the nineties, right like when

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:53.000

<v Speaker 6>of Standing Ovation song?

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, like that was like the beginning to everything.

0:45:32.400 --> 0:45:33.320
<v Speaker 3>That was the standard.

0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:35.799
<v Speaker 1>That's the first platinum plaque. So you know they're coming back.

0:47:15.520 --> 0:47:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely? Producers, artists, soundwriters, musicians, you know what I'm saying.

0:47:18.880 --> 0:47:22.239
<v Speaker 1>We just signed Cash Jay yesterday, New paperworking the building.

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Cash j one of the most incredible producers. Man, this

0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:27.439
<v Speaker 1>kid got so much great music and we got hell

0:47:27.440 --> 0:47:30.960
<v Speaker 1>of music together, like Chris Beats, north Side, beats by

0:47:31.000 --> 0:47:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Avery H. Questionizer, you know what I'm saying, beats by

0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:38.880

<v Speaker 1>we got my boy, uh twenty four, my other boy

0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:43.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven. Like, man, I like how.

0:47:43.280 --> 0:47:46.080
<v Speaker 3>You do artists development with your weird artists. I think

0:47:46.080 --> 0:47:48.800
<v Speaker 3>that lacks in this time. I think a lot of

0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:52.600
<v Speaker 3>people want everything to be ready, and sometimes things can

0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:55.040
<v Speaker 3>seem like they're ready because of a hit record and

0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:58.680
<v Speaker 3>people gravitating towards the record. But I think from what

0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I've seen, I see that you do a lot of

0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:04.879
<v Speaker 3>artists development, which I think is dope, and I think

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:06.160
<v Speaker 3>that's lacking in the industry.

0:48:07.160 --> 0:48:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hell yeah, man, Cuz you know, by the time

0:48:10.480 --> 0:48:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you stopped fucking with an artist, he just found itself.

0:48:14.440 --> 0:48:16.319
<v Speaker 1>And now you put in all of that work with

0:48:16.360 --> 0:48:18.200
<v Speaker 1>this person in there and just watch him just take

0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the fuck off, you know what I'm saying. I saw

0:48:20.160 --> 0:48:21.719
<v Speaker 1>that with Young Blue. Young Blue was one of the

0:48:21.719 --> 0:48:24.520
<v Speaker 1>first artists I had on the drum Squad, and the

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:28.520
<v Speaker 1>people who was behind him was like, did we out?

0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:31.239
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean, They just left. They had

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:33.120
<v Speaker 1>some differences. Da da Da da dah. Young Blue end

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:36.160
<v Speaker 1>up signing with Boosie, But the first song that got

0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:38.640
<v Speaker 1>him his deal with Boosy was a song I produced

0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:40.680
<v Speaker 1>called go Ahead. You know what I mean. If you

<v Speaker 1>for that, Flay, you know what I'm saying. Like that

0:51:45.840 --> 0:51:47.200
<v Speaker 1>was the first junt we did, and I was on

0:51:47.280 --> 0:51:49.080
<v Speaker 1>every project after that.

0:51:49.800 --> 0:51:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel like with Memphis, y'all have a lot of talent,

0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:56.040
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like Memphis is just so divided.

0:51:56.120 --> 0:51:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of weird, you know what I mean.

0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:00.839
<v Speaker 2>Like Atlanta is like all these artists in Atlanta, they

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:02.920
<v Speaker 2>all work together, you know, they kind of all came

0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:05.920
<v Speaker 2>up together. Memphis is like y'all have a lot of artists,

0:52:05.960 --> 0:52:08.319
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like it's just so divided.

0:52:07.960 --> 0:52:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Because it's It's like I honestly felt like, Man, I

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:15.120
<v Speaker 1>got to figure out how to rebrand the city we

0:52:15.160 --> 0:52:17.200
<v Speaker 1>love to hate, you know what I'm saying, because it

0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:19.400
<v Speaker 1>would just always be that. So I dropped the project

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:22.600
<v Speaker 1>called Welcome to My City, Volume one, Volume two, Volume three,

0:52:22.680 --> 0:52:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Volume four, which which is considered the unification process of Memphis,

0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. That's why I got the

0:52:28.760 --> 0:52:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Key to the City of Memphis and all that, and

0:52:30.680 --> 0:52:34.080
<v Speaker 1>just doing what I can to bring guys together, to

0:52:34.160 --> 0:52:36.840
<v Speaker 1>show positivity and to show that we can come together

0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:39.360
<v Speaker 1>on certain shit. So you know, for the most part,

0:52:39.520 --> 0:52:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, we've done a good job, you know what

0:52:42.000 --> 0:52:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. And I think it's you know, getting better

0:52:45.120 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and better, you know what I'm saying, as we you know,

0:52:47.960 --> 0:52:50.319
<v Speaker 1>have taken our ls, you know what I mean. But

0:52:50.680 --> 0:52:52.839
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, it's a lot of w's, It's

0:52:52.880 --> 0:52:54.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of wins, you know what I'm saying. God

0:52:54.960 --> 0:53:00.000
<v Speaker 1>is showing an incredible example of unification and uplifting the city,

0:53:00.440 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. And Dolf was doing it too,

0:53:02.840 --> 0:53:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, those are the two of

0:53:03.920 --> 0:53:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the biggest.

0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that they would have would have eventually

0:53:08.000 --> 0:53:09.160
<v Speaker 3>settled their differences?

0:53:09.560 --> 0:53:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh? I think the depth of the entourage just make

0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it too difficult. They might not have been these two people,

0:53:15.080 --> 0:53:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, because at the end of

0:53:16.760 --> 0:53:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the day, you gotta look at it like like, look

0:53:18.160 --> 0:53:20.120
<v Speaker 1>at the world, look at look at the presidents, look

0:53:20.160 --> 0:53:23.239
<v Speaker 1>at the real gangsters and mobs and bosses. Man, at

0:53:23.280 --> 0:53:24.680
<v Speaker 1>some point you're gonna have to sit down at the

0:53:24.680 --> 0:53:25.600
<v Speaker 1>table with your enemy.

0:53:25.640 --> 0:53:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't think, because I don't think. I never thought

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:31.160
<v Speaker 3>JZ and Gucci would have had that versus. Do you

0:53:31.239 --> 0:53:33.879
<v Speaker 3>think that that could have eventually happened for them too?

0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it could have, you know what I'm saying.

0:53:36.120 --> 0:53:38.480
<v Speaker 1>In a certain way, I just think that, you know

0:53:38.520 --> 0:53:41.800
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, It's different like if it was some bus,

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:44.080
<v Speaker 1>if it was a business discrepancy or some shit like that.

0:53:44.160 --> 0:53:47.000
<v Speaker 1>At some point, you know, it's gonna eat away your soul,

0:53:47.080 --> 0:53:49.600
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna eat away your conscience. You're gonna, you know,

0:53:49.800 --> 0:53:52.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like Damn, I should forget his gal, you know

0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:53.920
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? Damn da da dah, I did run

0:53:53.920 --> 0:53:55.680
<v Speaker 1>off with his two hundred, or I did run off

0:53:55.719 --> 0:53:57.960
<v Speaker 1>with his meal. Here you go, man with some on

0:53:58.080 --> 0:54:00.919
<v Speaker 1>top one point five two men? You know, whatever the fuck?

0:54:00.960 --> 0:54:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I think situations like that are a little easier to handle.

0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:08.360
<v Speaker 1>But I think once a nigga lose respect for you,

0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, it ain't no turning back,

0:54:10.760 --> 0:54:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? So At, you know, whatever

0:54:14.680 --> 0:54:17.759
<v Speaker 1>whatever happened, or you know, you show your hand and

0:54:17.800 --> 0:54:19.759
<v Speaker 1>you show that you you bringing up something that might

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:22.920
<v Speaker 1>not have nothing to do with money or or or business,

0:54:23.000 --> 0:54:25.719
<v Speaker 1>and you bringing up some personal shit. I think it

0:54:25.840 --> 0:54:27.760
<v Speaker 1>just makes it difficult, you know what I'm saying.

0:54:29.000 --> 0:54:31.560
<v Speaker 2>So you feel like the disc song was just kind

0:54:31.560 --> 0:54:33.960
<v Speaker 2>of likes it went too personal.

0:54:34.080 --> 0:54:36.399
<v Speaker 1>So I think once they go personal, is it ain't

0:54:36.440 --> 0:54:37.080
<v Speaker 1>no turning back.

0:54:37.280 --> 0:54:40.680
<v Speaker 2>The last question I want to ask was like, when

0:54:40.719 --> 0:54:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I was talking about doing the split seet, what about

0:54:42.800 --> 0:54:45.600
<v Speaker 2>the people like that your homeboys is in there and

0:54:45.640 --> 0:54:48.400
<v Speaker 2>they give you an idea to throw a line out? Dude,

0:54:48.440 --> 0:54:51.640
<v Speaker 2>those guys be one percentages on publishing and things of

0:54:51.680 --> 0:54:54.080
<v Speaker 2>that nature. Sometimes, you know what I mean, even if

0:54:54.080 --> 0:54:56.240
<v Speaker 2>it's one percent, two percent, you gave me a line,

0:54:56.719 --> 0:54:57.360
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying.

0:54:57.400 --> 0:54:58.799
<v Speaker 1>You might have gave me a bar. You might get

0:54:58.800 --> 0:55:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a point five or a or something, you know what

0:55:01.200 --> 0:55:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean. And like I've seen guys with three percent

0:55:03.840 --> 0:55:07.040
<v Speaker 1>make eight hundred thousand, So you know what I mean,

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather have a percentage of something than one hundred

0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:09.920
<v Speaker 1>percent or nothing.

0:55:10.200 --> 0:55:12.399
<v Speaker 5>To wrap it all up, How does your dad feel now?

0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh? My dad feel great. Man. We just he just

0:55:15.440 --> 0:55:18.080

<v Speaker 1>I'm moving more strategically. So is that your daughter with you, Na,

1:00:06.400 --> 1:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>that's my niece. That's insane, Okay, Selena.

1:00:09.680 --> 1:00:11.120
<v Speaker 3>I do kids yourself?

1:00:11.240 --> 1:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, Yeah, all the time is coming, you know what

1:00:13.520 --> 1:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Kids, Yet I wouldn't have been able to

1:00:16.320 --> 1:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>do what I've done, you know what I'm saying, in

1:00:18.560 --> 1:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a marriage or in a relationship and trying to divide myself.

1:00:21.520 --> 1:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Anything I do, I'm gonna give it one hundred percent.

1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>So when I do go into that world in that chapter,

1:00:25.960 --> 1:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give that one hundred percent. And I got

1:00:28.800 --> 1:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>enough producers under me now to work. I can still

1:00:31.800 --> 1:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>take over the game, finish and complete albums, do movie scores,

1:00:35.280 --> 1:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>things of that nature, and still have a person.

1:00:37.680 --> 1:00:39.240
<v Speaker 3>I do want to say, and I do want to

1:00:39.280 --> 1:00:43.680
<v Speaker 3>highlight your brother RP that insane way. I met him

1:00:43.800 --> 1:00:49.600
<v Speaker 3>multiple times, great guy. When we lost him, I know

1:00:49.680 --> 1:00:53.840
<v Speaker 3>that fucked you up. How are you able to? And

1:00:53.960 --> 1:00:58.080
<v Speaker 3>from outside looking in, you did a great job maintaining yourself.

1:00:58.840 --> 1:01:02.200
<v Speaker 3>But I didn't see you you you know, and I

1:01:02.240 --> 1:01:05.280
<v Speaker 3>know you probably grieved in your own time if that happened.

1:01:05.760 --> 1:01:09.600
<v Speaker 3>But I saw strength from you at a time where

1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:11.400
<v Speaker 3>I was just like you know, and I know his

1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:12.920
<v Speaker 3>daughter is here, so I'm not trying to get too

1:01:12.920 --> 1:01:15.800
<v Speaker 3>emotional about it, but I had such a high regard

1:01:15.920 --> 1:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>for him. That shit fucked me up. But I was

1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:20.160
<v Speaker 3>strong because I saw you were strong.

1:01:21.000 --> 1:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how did you? They honestly made me strong, Like

1:01:24.280 --> 1:01:26.920

<v Speaker 1>Thank you for and that's very honorable.

1:02:22.080 --> 1:02:25.439
<v Speaker 6>What are some of the some career mistakes that you've

1:02:25.480 --> 1:02:28.240
<v Speaker 6>seen or made yourself throughout your whole time?

1:02:29.040 --> 1:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, it might be getting behind in taxes, not

1:02:32.040 --> 1:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>taking tax money and putting that shit to the side.

1:02:34.560 --> 1:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>We first thing, we're going buying this Chaine cars, clothes,

1:02:37.800 --> 1:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Throwing ones in the strip club,

1:02:40.640 --> 1:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>all this shit. You might say thank you to the

1:02:42.320 --> 1:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>strippers before you say thank you to Uncle Sam, you

1:02:44.640 --> 1:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. And man, it's little things like

1:02:46.880 --> 1:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that that at the end of the year when you

1:02:48.600 --> 1:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>see you owe seventy thousand or sixty or thirty or

1:02:52.280 --> 1:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. Man had it money to the side.

1:02:55.080 --> 1:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, pay them taxes because you

1:02:57.200 --> 1:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>get behind. Now you're getting hit with extra five thousand

1:02:59.840 --> 1:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>dollar penalty, an extra ten thousan dollar penalty. Like the

1:03:03.360 --> 1:03:06.440
<v Speaker 1>penalties are so harsh and heavy it don't even make sense.

1:03:06.640 --> 1:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So you you should, you know, just pay that shit

1:03:08.720 --> 1:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>up up front, you know what I mean. You can

1:03:10.360 --> 1:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>even do estimated payments, you know what I'm saying, and

1:03:13.560 --> 1:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>pay quarterly. So at the end of the year you

1:03:15.840 --> 1:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>might not you might owe thirty, but you made fifteen

1:03:18.560 --> 1:03:21.439
<v Speaker 1>thousand estimated payments. Okay, so now you just got fifteen left,

1:03:21.680 --> 1:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>so we make things a little easier. But outside of that,

1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I always been on the business. I always

<v Speaker 1>fridsh Man and this pep talk with me. I would say, man,

1:05:30.520 --> 1:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>copyright your music, you know what I'm saying, before you

1:05:32.800 --> 1:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>sending it into anybody. You know what I mean, so

1:05:34.360 --> 1:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>they don't be stealing your ideas and whatnot. I preached it.

1:05:37.760 --> 1:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you do a split sheet so you know

1:05:39.840 --> 1:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>who go to what you know what I'm saying, what

1:05:42.880 --> 1:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>percentage going where? You know what I'm saying, the name

1:05:45.400 --> 1:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>sign off on it. Okayen, all right, that's one fifty.

1:05:48.960 --> 1:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>That's the music side, and we got another twenty five

1:05:51.080 --> 1:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>percent twenty five percent. You wrote the diverse and we

1:05:54.760 --> 1:05:56.439
<v Speaker 1>did the hook and whatnot, the gether and I did

1:05:56.480 --> 1:05:58.840
<v Speaker 1>my verse. Man, we split that twenty five to twenty five.

1:05:59.040 --> 1:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. Sign off it. That shows

1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent of the music where it goes. Bamn,

1:06:03.720 --> 1:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>everybody get their money?

1:06:05.040 --> 1:06:07.240
<v Speaker 6>What does it take from the time you write the

1:06:07.320 --> 1:06:09.120
<v Speaker 6>song to cut the check time?

1:06:10.840 --> 1:06:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Usually it's generated after at least three months, so I

1:06:14.040 --> 1:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's like two months, three months of it generating,

1:06:17.120 --> 1:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and then depending on where it lands, you' gonna get

1:06:18.960 --> 1:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>more money when it's playing on radio.

1:06:21.120 --> 1:06:24.000
<v Speaker 3>So that's why everybody wants their song on the radio, right,

1:06:24.520 --> 1:06:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Not everybody got that radio budget.

1:06:26.880 --> 1:06:29.600
<v Speaker 6>But although do you think that's so important with so

1:06:29.640 --> 1:06:30.880
<v Speaker 6>many streaming services.

1:06:30.960 --> 1:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Hell yeah, radio it's still a lot of people listening

1:06:32.880 --> 1:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>in the cars. There's still a lot of people you're

1:06:34.280 --> 1:06:36.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna touch. That's that's still a fan base of people

1:06:36.480 --> 1:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that you're gonna you know what I mean, when you

1:06:38.040 --> 1:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>get to those areas and perform live, they know your words.

1:06:42.280 --> 1:06:46.080
<v Speaker 3>If I'm wrong, radio gives a higher return because the

1:06:46.280 --> 1:06:47.560
<v Speaker 3>streaming is not as much.

1:06:47.760 --> 1:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, streaming is like piss poor compared to radio, you

1:06:51.520 --> 1:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? So you want your stuff on

1:06:53.240 --> 1:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>TV on sync?

1:06:55.280 --> 1:06:59.440
<v Speaker 6>Seeing radio and licensing is a very big moneymaker.

1:06:59.360 --> 1:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Huge, I honestly, which is battling my safe I've made

1:07:05.120 --> 1:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I've generated man at you know, at least twenty meal

1:07:08.560 --> 1:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>just on just the music side. But then, okay, man,

1:07:12.760 --> 1:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm on my ass on the sink side. What's sinkin

1:07:17.560 --> 1:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>the light? TV placements? He got you? I just need

1:07:19.760 --> 1:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a Hulu placement. I just did. I'm workwhill I can't

1:07:23.520 --> 1:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>even Okay, I'm working a couple of documentaries, movies and

1:07:27.360 --> 1:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>TV stuff like that. That's sink.

1:07:29.320 --> 1:07:30.240
<v Speaker 5>How'd you get into that?

1:07:30.960 --> 1:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I've always been in that, just from the orchestra side.

1:07:33.040 --> 1:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's where that knowledge come back. Being able to

1:07:35.000 --> 1:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>compose and arrange and create things to match the emotion

1:07:38.880 --> 1:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of what you can read notes and shit absolutely or.

1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:44.360
<v Speaker 5>How does a person get into wanting?

1:07:44.480 --> 1:07:48.040
<v Speaker 6>If if a Joe Blow wants to have his stuff

1:07:48.080 --> 1:07:49.840
<v Speaker 6>in TV, how do they get into that?

1:07:50.280 --> 1:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>First? You got to practice and be good at what

1:07:52.240 --> 1:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>you do. So you could take a movie like I

1:07:55.000 --> 1:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>used to watch TV right and I could record no sound,

1:07:59.240 --> 1:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>turn the music on mute and record thirty seconds of

1:08:02.880 --> 1:08:06.320
