I was 442 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: kind of nervous to put this out because I never 443 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: put an album out or I never really did something 444 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: like this where I felt so exposed and I was 445 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: like mad, vulnerable, vulnerable, you know. So it was giving 446 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: me anxiety to put it out because I'm like, damn, 447 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: I just don't know how it's gonna be perceived, because 448 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: I didn't go in here with no intentions to make 449 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: bangers or a single or anything like. I just went 450 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: over I just want to in the studio invent it, 451 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: you know. So I didn't know how they was gonna 452 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: perceive it. And so when it dropped and saw I saw, 453 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: I didn't see the responses until so the album dropped Monday, right, 454 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: this was nuts. Album dropped Monday. I didn't see the 455 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: responses until Thursday because my phone had got fucked up. 456 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: Oh wow, right, so I couldn't swipe up. Oh I 457 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: don't see the screen. Ain'tnything. So I finally go to 458 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: Apple and I get it fixed, and dude, it's like, yo, 459 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: uh you loot.

I thought 465 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: that sh it was fine. I think when you go 466 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: in and you purposely try to make a single or 467 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: a banger, it never works. Right. I didn't even I 468 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: didn't even I wasn't even thinking like that though. I 469 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: just literally went to the studio.

Oh no, no, what squap? 542 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: That sounded like on some Dreamville shit. You know what 543 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying.

At that time, I didn't 546 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: even know he rapped. I was just so used to 547 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: seeing it. He's like he's like a meme, yeah and 548 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: like and like doing funny ship. But when he was 549 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: in there spitting and I was like, yo, he's fired. 550 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: Who were like if you had to, like, you know, 551 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: top three or four artists all time, odb uh ce 552 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: Lo and Biggie. The only reason why I say Biggie 553 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: is because like his flow is just Butter. We just 554 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: got a conversation about this. Butter. It's crazy. I think 555 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: the only artist I've been saying this yesterday, The only 556 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: artist who has ever gotten close to me? Feeling like God, 557 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: that was so buttery as Ross, like when Ross wraps 558 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: on some ship. So it just slides off the beat. 559 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: I don't listen to Ross like that. Oh you should, man, 560 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: Teflon Donn is a fucking classic. Not notice, but it's 561 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: just it's too slow for me. I get it. Nah, 562 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: it's crazy. So you said, Odie B se Lo, you 563 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: know what's crazy is the first time I ever heard 564 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: Celo was on I want to say it was on 565 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: a Quemen nine when I was a kid. But man, 566 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: his voice when he came in, it was like, who 567 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: the fuck is this? But this is when he was 568 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: rapping this before I even like. There's a song called 569 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: they Don't Dance No More by Goodie Mob. Yeah, nah, 570 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: and the way he came in on the end of 571 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: that record, it was like, who the fuck is this? Bro? 572 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: Goodie Mob is like one of my favorite rap roots 573 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: all time. So it's like, when I heard se Lo, 574 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, this dude is fucking nuts. And then 575 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: when they did the Nowls Barkley shit, of course this 576 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: guy's no, he's a beast man.

It's just like, bro, these niggas was think 644 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: about Gip and uh and and Andre just fashion wise, 645 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: like they were kind of like the O G Young Thug, 646 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: Like you know, when Young Thug was doing his ship. 647 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is just some ship on sense 648 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: in a sense, I'm about just like breaking people because 649 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, everyone you said think Andre was gay. I 650 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: mean he said it on the Quemini. Is he on drugs? 651 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: Is he gay? You know what I'm saying. I just 652 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: like the fact that he was just but he was different. 653 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: He was himself right. But again, I think about that 654 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: in the nineties exactly. That ship was looked way crazier 655 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: then because it was like, who the fuck is this 656 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: guy wearing wigs and ship? But nah, no, man, I 657 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: hope I hope Andre comes out of retirement. We need 658 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: one more outcast. The only thing is I'm afraid if 659 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: they do one where I'm afraid it would suck. I'm 660 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: not saying it would suck, but that'd be my only fear. 661 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: It's like what if it's not good? But then being 662 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: an artist, it's like I kind of feel Andre though, 663 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: like shit, I did what I needed to do. I 664 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: ain't really gotta the album of there. I'm gonna go 665 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: to fucking star Diamon. I'm gonna play my instrument.

I feel like he's chilling, like 668 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: he probably had it at a point in his life 669 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: where he's like, Bro, I'm good where I'm at. I'm fine. 670 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm out here with my kids. Most steps, like most 671 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: steps like that too. It could you know, one of 672 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: the greatest artists want to reach out to me and 673 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: do whatever and link up and do a song like 674 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: I I'm totally down to do it just to get 675 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: that blessing.

And if he was rocking with it, 713 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm all right, this is cool.
