0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>up here. I've been bothering an innerscope to have you

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>up here for I feel like a couple of years now, Yeah,

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you got the album out now you're from Charlotte, And

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>I was just talking to Stunn for Vegas about just

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina having a moment right now and Charlotte has

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.320
<v Speaker 1>had We not Charlotte, but North Carolina in particular has

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>had such a just a crazy history and hip hop.

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>Because one of my favorite groups you got on the album,

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Little Brother, is from there, Stunningford Vegas had no idea

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>who the Little Brother was. I try to explain it

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to him, it'd be like that, No, I get like

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the age difference. Yeah, but North Carolina is just in general, man,

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it feels like there's just a dope wave and energy

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the state, out of the Carolina is

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in general. What do you think like special about what's

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>coming out of your region at the moment That everybody

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>don't sound like each other. I think that's I think

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that's the beautiful part about it, Like we don't have

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a distinct sound. I feel like, uh And I feel

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>like that's fire because you see how many, how many

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>different types of artists come out of either the city

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 1>or the state, right, So I think that shits fire

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yeah, because like you know, you got like

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>obviously cold guys like yourself, and then you got the Baby,

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>who's also a lyrical monster. And then you got Stunnerford

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Vegas who's doing like, you know, street ship, and so

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I just think there's like a dope diverse like roster

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>of guys that are coming out of the city right now.

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>It's all the same shit, really, you know what I'm saying,

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Like it's all the same shit, but like different genres,

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>different everybody talk about it differently. Yo, you put Little

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Brother on the album, which is amazing. By the way,

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.320

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. Man, the Minstrel Show, I remember, like,

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the Mintchell Show because I would like they

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>opened up for Dilated People's on tour. When The Mintel

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Show came out, I remember seeing that that that like

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>live and it like just stuck with me in my

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>high school years, like seeing the Minstrel Show like that

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>album being performed live. Honestly, I got put on like

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>later down the road. I didn't get it as soon

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>as it came out right type ship, but when I

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.279

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. Like, especially in the era

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>where they came out and everything else that was going

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.280

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.200

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, when when they played the album back,

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I really didn't know what I had at the time.

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>So when they played it back, I was like, Damn,

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy. Shit sounds amazing. Yeah, you know, it's

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.280
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy how important Like sequencing, it is very important

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>because honestly, I was just making music. I'm like, man,

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I ain't got shit here. He was gonna put some

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>shit together or whatever. Like, I just didn't know what

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. I didn't realize what I was making.

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, I knew the process. I knew my

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>process and what I was going through and how I

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>wanted to express myself doing it, but I had no

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>idea what direction, how I wanted, how I wanted it

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to be. So hearing it all singles together with you know,

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the musicians and all that shit, it's just like, damn,

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>this is so beautiful. Yeah, it's crazy because if you

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>think of like classic albums, like if the if you

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>moved around the songs, they might not hit the way

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>they Nah, it's about it's all about when you press play.

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>How that journey. But see that's how I am as

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>an audist. All my bodies of work, I want them

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>to be listened to from top to bottom. You don't

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>want people to just go listen to the single. You

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>want them to appreciate it all the way through, so

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>you get the story and you get everything, and it's

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>an experience. I want people to listen to my ship

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and to be an experienced. Well, well, whose idea was

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>it to have Fonte help sequence? Was that your idea?

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>His idea, Pooh's idea? I was Pooh's idea. Yeah, he's

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a I mean, yeah, man, he's I think he's probably

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>him and Sean Price. I think black Clock gets a

0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>lot more flowers than both of them, but him and

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Sean Price might be too morech slept on MC's ever. Yeah, now,

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Fonte is hard and he could see his fucking ass on.

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Fonte is hard and funny and ship and he's hilarious,

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>funny dude. I think he's writing for like like TV

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>shows or some shit. I'm not sure. I went doubt it, Yeah,

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I went doubt it. What is something that because they

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 1>obviously got a tough shake, you know, with some with

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 1>some shitty record deal shit. You know what I'm saying, Like,

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to put into work to get this ship.

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>And also how to manage my money better too. Yeah,

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>that was like one of the two things that he

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>to me in the beginning, like that, sh it's important, man,

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>like watch your money and at the same time, you

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>got to put into work if you want to really

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>really get someone. Because you know what I love about

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>poo is he was so transparent about like, Yo, there

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>was a point in time where I was driving uber

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>like you know, you know, and that shit is I

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>think that's dope because it unless rappers know, like, man,

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>this shit ain't always sweet unless fans know that because

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>most rappers have been in those vulnerable positions, but the

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>perception is that they're never in those vulnerable positions and

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>that they're always doing better than everyone else. But like,

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>what were some of the money advice things that poo

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>had kind of told you to like look out for,

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>basically like just not aimlessly spending money on dumb shit,

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like you know, and when when you get business situations

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like just spending money on you know, the things that

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>you need to spend the money on, and not going

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>out here and just buying dumb shit like chains and shit,

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>or like a car that is a depreciating asset, or

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 1>cribs with extra rooms that you ain't got no furniture.

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>That happens. I've been to so many houses it's like, yeah,

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>we haven't decided we're gonna do this room yet it's

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>just there. The boxes ain't doing at all? Yo, how

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 1>did you know the Dreamville situation I initially kind of

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>take place? Like what I love about Cole is everyone

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.679
<v Speaker 1>he's ever signed, it's always artistic integrity first. And if

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.079
<v Speaker 1>you think about Ari Lennox and like how he's built

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.199
<v Speaker 1>her up, Like how like you said, nothing happens overnight right,

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Boss is a perfect example. Right. You know, Boss has

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>got a record on the radio right now, and he's

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 1>built up that fan base over the last seven or

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>eight years. So what you know, obviously you being so

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>incredible as an artist, Like, how did that translate to

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>getting on Cole's radar? To be real with you, people

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>ask me that a lot, and I have no fucking idea.

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Like I was working at Walmart and I get a

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>call from my friend and he's like, Yo, Cole just

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:57.839
<v Speaker 1>hit me up and said that he fuck with your music.

0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, bro, that makes no sense. Why the

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>hell will hit you up and tell you that he

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>fucks with my music? And this was the time where

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, on Twitter you had to be following somebody,

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>So I guess Cole had found my music and he

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't following them, so he found the closest person

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that I was talking to, like the most recent person

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to, and that was my friend, so

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>he did My friend was following him because he was

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a cold fan. So so he just hit your random homie. Yeah,

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 1>he hit my homie was like, Yo, tell your boy

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I fuck with his music? Tell him how to let me.

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.160

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>each place like provely different. Yeah, shoppers at Walmart and

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Target shoppers, two completely different shoppers. Which ones are more

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>attractive Target? Okay, okay, I just want to make sure

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.320

<v Speaker 1>You get a more higher quality at Target. Yeah. Yo,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:12.320

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>right it was. Yeah, it was a little mixed, a

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:18.800

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>like when it was twenty four hours, So after twelve

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.960

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>come by and like collect the money or whatever, and

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>then they like switch over to another shift. So after twelve,

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.640

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>same time, or like yeah, And then I ended up

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 1>getting fired from Walmart and I started working at the airport.

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's rough too, Yeah it is. It was. But

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 1>when I started working at the airport, and my bread

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:06.159
<v Speaker 1>was looking a little different, like the in between twenty

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>twelve and twenty sixteen. At a point I was working

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>at the airport for a minute and I had a daughter,

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, man, fuck this rap shit, like

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the money looking good, this is like a career for

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 1>me because I was feeling planes. I'm like, yo, I'm

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm benefits yeah, hell yeah, all kind of benefits. So

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:26.760

<v Speaker 1>had like seven layovers there. You know what's crazy though,

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.000

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 1>airport is each day it's never the same type shit.

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.760

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>doing the same shit every day. Like every day was

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:47.399
<v Speaker 1>completely different. You don't know what the hell you was

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.000

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.359

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:02.840

<v Speaker 1>Baby to be on a record together at that time?

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It was fire, especially for for North Carolina, right, because

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what I felt for me, Like at the time,

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I felt like it was fire. But at the same time, like, man,

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the middle. Don't nobody know what the fuck

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.399
<v Speaker 1>I am. But that's why it was dope for you. Yeah, No,

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.359

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 1>fucking guy loot? So I'm like, man, I don't know how.

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how people gonna react to this because

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, you know, you got cold, you got the baby,

0:19:58.600 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>and then you just got this guy in the middle.

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.679
<v Speaker 1>But the responses was fired, like I loved it, and

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>then you got you got a Grammy nomination from that,

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.120
<v Speaker 1>which is a fucking big deal. Were you there when

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Chris Bosh was pulling up of beats? Yes, bro, that

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.879
<v Speaker 1>was trippy as hell, like the coming around the corner

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and you see Chris Bosh in the corner making beats

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and ship and they were fired right, better than Chris

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Weber's beats I've ever been, Yo. Fine, Chris Bosh is

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 1>fucking hey man. One of the biggest what ifs were

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 1>It's probably like top ten water if in NBA history.

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.160
<v Speaker 1>There's some bigger what ifs. But so, yeah, so you

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>did you end up getting on any of his beats? No?

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.159
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get on the beats, but the ones I

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.199

<v Speaker 1>just brought you, guys, and food. They brought food. The

0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Bucks catered to a dream Bill session the whole the

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.880
<v Speaker 1>whole day. Wow. Were you able to connect with anybody

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.080

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 1>you gotta Sam Donald leading the league in touchdown with

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.879

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 1>He is, he is. I mean we lost our last

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 1>two games, but my producer just traded for him in

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football. Or yeah, n he's fire, yeah solid in

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:43.119
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. Man, you know, there's so much culture that

0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, like you said, Double A is always there,

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we won't have it no more. No. I went to

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 1>like Baltimore, Yeah, moved right, and that you know, Baltimore's

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:56.919
<v Speaker 1>not gonna who knows, we'll see it back. How is

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.360
<v Speaker 1>like the reception of the album been in the small

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>amount of time to spin out. Honestly, man, it's been

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 1>really crazy. I was surprised because I honestly, I'm like,

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know how this was gonna go. I was

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of nervous to put this out because I never

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 1>put an album out or I never really did something

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:16.919
<v Speaker 1>like this where I felt so exposed and I was

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:23.200
<v Speaker 1>like mad, vulnerable, vulnerable, you know. So it was giving

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>me anxiety to put it out because I'm like, damn,

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know how it's gonna be perceived, because

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't go in here with no intentions to make

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.640
<v Speaker 1>bangers or a single or anything like. I just went

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>over I just want to in the studio invent it,

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>you know. So I didn't know how they was gonna

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>perceive it. And so when it dropped and saw I saw,

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see the responses until so the album dropped Monday, right,

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 1>this was nuts. Album dropped Monday. I didn't see the

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>responses until Thursday because my phone had got fucked up.

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, right, so I couldn't swipe up. Oh I

0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>don't see the screen. Ain'tnything. So I finally go to

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Apple and I get it fixed, and dude, it's like, yo,

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.920
<v Speaker 1>uh you loot. I was like yeah, He's like, yo,

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 1>your album's fire. I was like, yo, I appreciate it.

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you fuck with it because I can't see anything. Yeah,

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.160
<v Speaker 1>He's like, oh, bet, like, let's get you squared away.

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.199
<v Speaker 1>They did, and that's when I saw like all the

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.360
<v Speaker 1>responses and everybody really fucking with the album. I thought

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that sh it was fine. I think when you go

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 1>in and you purposely try to make a single or

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 1>a banger, it never works. Right. I didn't even I

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:32.399
<v Speaker 1>didn't even I wasn't even thinking like that though. I

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:34.879
<v Speaker 1>just literally went to the studio. It was just venting

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and ship no that's the ship that cuts through. Man,

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:40.159
<v Speaker 1>that's shit people want to hear. Like you said earlier,

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:42.679
<v Speaker 1>like when you make a body of work, you want

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 1>people to listen to the whole body of work. You

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be an artist like I always say everybody,

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.880
<v Speaker 1>there's longevity and being an artist who puts out bodies

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of work and not depends on hit records. You know

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. I feel that because you could do

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the heart like like get that heart, ticket money, get

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the fucking get that following. Who will buy all your

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:01.159
<v Speaker 1>merch will support or whatever you do, like and the

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:03.400
<v Speaker 1>way you're gonna do that is just by being true

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:06.119
<v Speaker 1>to yourself, bro, because that's that's what people relate to

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:08.479
<v Speaker 1>for sure. You know what I'm saying. What was like

0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>for you, Like, uh, you got some dope features obviously

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>causes on the album, You got some you know, obviously

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.719
<v Speaker 1>alreads on the album. But what was like a feature

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 1>that maybe was like a little down to the wire

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 1>on this project or were they all pretty much? You know?

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I say the most down to the wire feature was

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>BJ But it was like it was so fire though,

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:38.920
<v Speaker 1>because like I'm hearing him, like, yo, I really appreciate

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>you doing this like so because I know it's so

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.320
<v Speaker 1>last minute, but like y'all really appreciates you doing this.

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, nah, bro, I appreciate you even reaching

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:48.160
<v Speaker 1>out to me to do it. So slept on still

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:52.080
<v Speaker 1>nah for sure. Somehow he's still slept sure man. And

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:55.679
<v Speaker 1>how that shit worked out it's crazy, but it was

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:57.879
<v Speaker 1>definitely down to the wire, like it was like super

0:24:57.960 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 1>last minute, are you gonna are you gonna? Like? You know,

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I think with when we when we think of Call,

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I think Call like always makes us kind of wait

0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:13.240
<v Speaker 1>right for an album? Boss is the same way. How

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>is like, now that you're you finally got this project

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:18.360
<v Speaker 1>off your chest, do you plan on like getting back

0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>in soon and like keeping up you know nowadays? Get

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying, you know, I do plan on thinking

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:26.359
<v Speaker 1>the baby. The Baby dropped like three four fucking seven

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 1>albums in two years. It was a lot, bro, It

0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>was just a lot going on doing all that, you

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:33.920
<v Speaker 1>know I'm saying. But yeah, now, because for me when

0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 1>it comes to projects and like bodies of work, I

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:38.400
<v Speaker 1>really like to take my time. Of course, live life

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a little right, but I don't be meaning to take

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>like years ye, Like I really like to take my time.

0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like what people don't realize is like shit,

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 1>we go through shi it too, like life happens. Yeah,

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 1>So even though we don't intentionally or at least I know,

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't intentionally mean to be, you know, dropping albums

0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>at four years span or whatever, its just ship. I'll

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 1>be going through ship. Hey, and that shit that you

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>go through gives you more more content to write about.

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:04.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't be mad about the ship that I go

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:08.400
<v Speaker 1>through because I'm like any situation, whether good or bad,

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 1>especially bad situations. I'm like, Yo, this shit is fucked up.

0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, it's gonna make for a

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 1>good song, you know. So I can't really be too

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 1>mad about the situation. I can't be really too down

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 1>on my luck because I know it's gonna it's gonna

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:25.199
<v Speaker 1>come out to be a great song. Somewhere along. Have

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys kicked around the idea of doing another Revenge

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Dreamers? Oh, I don't know, I don't know.

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:34.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. What I know that there's like a

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of records that just didn't make By the way,

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 1>shout out to eb I those Hello records that didn't.

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Why not? You know, we talk about sequencing. Eve did

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:45.399
<v Speaker 1>such a great job of putting together up front to

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 1>back just press play, and that's so much harder to

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 1>do with a compilation, and I'm sure with like the

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 1>batchel of records that he had to choose from, And

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:54.359
<v Speaker 1>then when you looked at the track list, you're like,

0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck is like? Oh no, no, what squap?

0:26:57.600 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 1>That sounded like on some Dreamville shit. You know what

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. But it was it was as hard, no,

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>what that's fire? As fucked hard? Yeah, yeah, yeah, No.

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:06.160
<v Speaker 1>He's a great guy too. At that time, I didn't

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>even know he rapped. I was just so used to

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:09.720
<v Speaker 1>seeing it. He's like he's like a meme, yeah and

0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 1>like and like doing funny ship. But when he was

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:14.199
<v Speaker 1>in there spitting and I was like, yo, he's fired.

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Who were like if you had to, like, you know,

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 1>top three or four artists all time, odb uh ce

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:32.679
<v Speaker 1>Lo and Biggie. The only reason why I say Biggie

0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 1>is because like his flow is just Butter. We just

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>got a conversation about this. Butter. It's crazy. I think

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 1>the only artist I've been saying this yesterday, The only

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:43.680
<v Speaker 1>artist who has ever gotten close to me? Feeling like God,

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:46.439
<v Speaker 1>that was so buttery as Ross, like when Ross wraps

0:27:46.440 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 1>on some ship. So it just slides off the beat.

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't listen to Ross like that. Oh you should, man,

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Teflon Donn is a fucking classic. Not notice, but it's

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>just it's too slow for me. I get it. Nah,

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.679
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. So you said, Odie B se Lo, you

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 1>know what's crazy is the first time I ever heard

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Celo was on I want to say it was on

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:10.680
<v Speaker 1>a Quemen nine when I was a kid. But man,

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>his voice when he came in, it was like, who

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the fuck is this? But this is when he was

0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>rapping this before I even like. There's a song called

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:23.199
<v Speaker 1>they Don't Dance No More by Goodie Mob. Yeah, nah,

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and the way he came in on the end of

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>that record, it was like, who the fuck is this? Bro?

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Goodie Mob is like one of my favorite rap roots

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>all time. So it's like, when I heard se Lo,

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Yo, this dude is fucking nuts. And then

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:41.160
<v Speaker 1>when they did the Nowls Barkley shit, of course this

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 1>guy's no, he's a beast man. And I mean odb

0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 1>is obviously I'm a huge wotank fan. So I feel

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 1>like we don't talk about ODB and definitely talking about

0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>ghost Face gets love, Meth gets love about odib Man.

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>He brought a lot of character to those albums and

0:28:56.520 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 1>put out you know, one amazing album and and and

0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>we're pleased with solid. You know what was like what

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 1>gravitated towards ODB Man just his style, like he just

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 1>he was very like raw. He didn't filter himself, you

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:15.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. It was no filter with him,

0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 1>like when he went to the ship put out in

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the in the limo with the with the food stamps,

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:24.360
<v Speaker 1>like what like man if he was that's the type

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 1>of ship I'm on, Like, you know, just raw and

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>like true like he was to Can you imagine if

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 1>social media was the way it was when ODB was alive,

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 1>how fucking lit he be on his Instagram? Be fucking insane?

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 1>But I love that though. I love that about him,

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and I love that about artists. I love when the

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 1>artists can just be like themselves and like be like

0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>super true and super like unfiltered. So would you take

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Goodie Mob over Outcast? Yes? I would? But Andre is

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 1>in my top five, like greatest rappers of all time

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and Big Boy. People sleep on Big Boy too, like

0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:00.480
<v Speaker 1>don't give him his credit. But yeah, I would take

0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Goodie Mob over Outcasts? Okay? Would you? Okay, well obviously,

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 1>what is Soul Foods your favorite Goodie Mob album? Still? Yeah?

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I had a conversation about that a couple of days ago,

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, is it still standing there? Soul Food that

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean to me, that was the probably the two

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 1>you'd pick from, right Yeah? Yeah, yeah, but soul Food, Yeah,

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I think soul Food is. How about me? I ask

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 1>you like this, would you take Soul Food over any

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Outcast album? No? Because a Quemini is kind of like

0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 1>one of my one of my favorite that's the one

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 1>favorite Outcast album. You know, it's crazy when you talk

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to Outcast fans. There's Quemini people and then there's at

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Aliens people. By the way, I love both albums, right,

0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 1>but there's people who swear by either one of those

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>is their best album. And I'm like, I'm an Equimini guy.

0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the Equimini train. Man. Then you get the

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 1>CDs and it's got the women on them. Oh yeah,

0:30:58.000 --> 0:31:00.040
<v Speaker 1>every fucking Outcast album had a naked bitch on it.

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 1>It was amazing. As a kid, it was amazing. And

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what was crazy is when you had a

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:07.200
<v Speaker 1>homie who had to get the album from Walmart. The

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 1>fucking CDs had fucking the titties blurred out. Yeah, yeah,

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>edited version had. I was like, oh, this is the

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 1>clean version album get away for me. The titties are

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:20.200
<v Speaker 1>covered up. Wow, you appreciated shit like that, Oh my god,

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:23.440
<v Speaker 1>because it didn't really go with like go anything. It

0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 1>was naked women on the on the CD cover there's

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a guy who makes rugs. I forget his name. He

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.080
<v Speaker 1>makes like custom like CD rugs. Yeah, I think I

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 1>know you're talking about. I've seen and he did a

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to say he did the Equimini CD or

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:40.440
<v Speaker 1>no he did, he did, he did the leve Below.

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:42.719
<v Speaker 1>But I was like, man, I wish somebody would do

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>aight Aliens with the like cartoon naked chick. Yeah no,

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. Yeah, okay, So I just want to make

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 1>sure you know, Quimini to me is like top five

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>album ever. So soul Food is great, but you know,

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go with the QUMENI over over soul Food

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>for sure. I just feel like they were like with

0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:00.680
<v Speaker 1>soulful or just goody mob, you know, like they were

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 1>ahead of the especially how people are now with like

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 1>a gip you know what I'm saying, and being woke

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:09.280
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. It's just like, bro, these niggas was think

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:13.720
<v Speaker 1>about Gip and uh and and Andre just fashion wise,

0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 1>like they were kind of like the O G Young Thug,

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, when Young Thug was doing his ship.

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, man, this is just some ship on sense

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:24.120
<v Speaker 1>in a sense, I'm about just like breaking people because

0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, everyone you said think Andre was gay. I

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>mean he said it on the Quemini. Is he on drugs?

0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Is he gay? You know what I'm saying. I just

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>like the fact that he was just but he was different.

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 1>He was himself right. But again, I think about that

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 1>in the nineties exactly. That ship was looked way crazier

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 1>then because it was like, who the fuck is this

0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:44.680
<v Speaker 1>guy wearing wigs and ship? But nah, no, man, I

0:32:44.680 --> 0:32:48.080
<v Speaker 1>hope I hope Andre comes out of retirement. We need

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>one more outcast. The only thing is I'm afraid if

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.480
<v Speaker 1>they do one where I'm afraid it would suck. I'm

0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>not saying it would suck, but that'd be my only fear.

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:58.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like what if it's not good? But then being

0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 1>an artist, it's like I kind of feel Andre though,

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 1>like shit, I did what I needed to do. I

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>ain't really gotta the album of there. I'm gonna go

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to fucking star Diamon. I'm gonna play my instrument. I'm chilling.

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>He's not even really acting anymore. I haven't seen him

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 1>in the movie Forever. I feel like he's chilling, like

0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 1>he probably had it at a point in his life

0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 1>where he's like, Bro, I'm good where I'm at. I'm fine.

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm out here with my kids. Most steps, like most

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:29.200
<v Speaker 1>steps like that too. It could you know, one of

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the greatest artists want to reach out to me and

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 1>do whatever and link up and do a song like

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I I'm totally down to do it just to get

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that blessing. But other than that, at the did you

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>hear the Kanye song that was had Andre on it

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that leaked? That was? Yeah? I did hear? How did

0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 1>that not end up on Down the Man? Kanye tripping?

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 1>He is tripping. Kanye be tripping, but he'd be tripping.

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 1>But I'm like, bro, it's one of the best Andre

0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:55.560
<v Speaker 1>versus I heard in a long fucking time. I also

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:57.440
<v Speaker 1>like how on thirty Hours he just had him saying

0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty hours Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's just fine to do that.

0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Life doesn't get enough love. That album is fucking crazy.

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I actually was a good album. I love that album.

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I was not a fan of Jesus is King Donal Solid,

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 1>but Jesus is King, I don't know. I mean, I'm

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:15.719
<v Speaker 1>not a big religious guy, so I know. But hey, look,

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:19.239
<v Speaker 1>so the album is out. I know you uh you know,

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:22.359
<v Speaker 1>is this your first official album on Dream But yeah,

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>this is my first official studio. I know a lot

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:27.160
<v Speaker 1>of people think that West nineteen ninety six Part two

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>was my official album, but that was just my mixtape

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:32.799
<v Speaker 1>because you know, ship people call it. I was gonna say,

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 1>shit's dicey these days because everything ends up on DSP.

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:37.680
<v Speaker 1>So it was an album, was a mixed d it

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 1>was a project, right, So this is the album. This

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>is the album. Yeah, when did Cole have any input

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:48.399
<v Speaker 1>on the album. When he heard it, he loved it.

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 1>He told me you play, you know, But as far

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 1>as like how everything went, it was just me and Bro.

0:34:56.760 --> 0:34:59.319
<v Speaker 1>That's so fire that you just got fucking little brother

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in your corner. We have to make the Little Brother

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:06.279
<v Speaker 1>ja also Eve like Eve is again like when I

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:08.640
<v Speaker 1>used to have like music and stuff. I'll definitely play

0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:10.719
<v Speaker 1>for music for Eve because Eve would let me know

0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 1>if some ship was fired, like because I recorded most

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:17.719
<v Speaker 1>of the album here in l A, okay, and then

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I finished it up when I went back to the crib.

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 1>So when I was here and E was available, I

0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>would play some ship just to see if E was

0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>rocking with it. And if he was rocking with it,

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm all right, this is cool. And if not, because

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I trust Eve's ear of music because like

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 1>he's got a great man fired with it. But but yeah,

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:37.359
<v Speaker 1>other than that, like when I got back to the crib,

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:39.239
<v Speaker 1>then that's when the work really went in with like

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the sequencing and the musicians. Well we have musicians here

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:46.320
<v Speaker 1>in l A too, but just getting everybody and getting

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 1>piece piecing it together. You have to bring Little Brother

0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and j Cole together on a record. This has this

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:56.000
<v Speaker 1>has to be your mission for North Carolina's history. That

0:35:56.560 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 1>would be nuts. How this has not happened yet is

0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:04.760
<v Speaker 1>beyond me. Drake is on a song with Fonte True.

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:07.440
<v Speaker 1>You know why I fucked with Drake off the Rip

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:09.520
<v Speaker 1>because he had an interview like in like nine and

0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 1>he said Fante was like one of his biggest influences.

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, this guy's like a oh he

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 1>likes real rap. J Cole needs a song with who

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:23.279
<v Speaker 1>and Fante bro for the culture, and you are the

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 1>guy who's gonna make it happen. You have to make

0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:31.280
<v Speaker 1>it happen on the next album, you little brother, Jay Cole.

0:36:32.760 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 1>That ship is I mean, it's historical. I'm just glad

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:39.399
<v Speaker 1>we put a lot of respect on Little Brother's name

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in this interview because one of the greatest rap groups

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 1>of all time for sure one thousand. So hey, man,

0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 1>go get the album. It's out right now. Hopefully we

0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:50.839
<v Speaker 1>get a Revenge of the Dreamers for you know, I'm

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.320
<v Speaker 1>sure it'll probably be in the next couple of years.

0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I would love that too. The last one did so well. Yeah,

0:36:57.040 --> 0:36:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy the level up too, because the first two

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:00.840
<v Speaker 1>are kind of like under the ra are like just

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:03.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of thrown out there for the further, like the fans.

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>But that third one was like, no, we're fucking we're

0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:08.600
<v Speaker 1>going on Gusta with this. Now that the third one

0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:11.239
<v Speaker 1>was was definitely one where it's just like, yo, that

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:15.239
<v Speaker 1>was a time those sessions. I mean, I'm assuming that

0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 1>there'll be a documentary one day, it has to be

0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:20.120
<v Speaker 1>just with those sessions. I just wanted to see Chris

0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Bosh making beats on the lap of Time. Two was

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:27.399
<v Speaker 1>impactful for me too because uh still Slumming was on two.

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 1>That's why people heard it first. And I never forget

0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 1>when that ship came out. I went to the closest

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Best Buy bout like four CDs. I had two for myself.

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I had one where I wasn't gonna open when I opened.

0:37:41.680 --> 0:37:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember day all day listening to that ship. Wow. Yeah,

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that was Was that the first time you were able

0:37:47.560 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to buy a CD that you like at Best Buy

0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 1>with you on it, with me on it. That's a

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 1>big deal. Well at the time for me, it was

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:57.239
<v Speaker 1>mad CDs because I was broke, but you know, buying

0:37:57.239 --> 0:37:59.279
<v Speaker 1>four CDs. There used to be a thing like where

0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>like you go support artists like uh you know and

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they I think there was actually j Cole. There was

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:06.239
<v Speaker 1>a time where Drake and Jake Hole with the Best

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Buy in New York and Drake bought all the Cold

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 1>albums off the shelf and it was like it was

0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:15.040
<v Speaker 1>like a thing. But now obviously shot the Best buy

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:17.680
<v Speaker 1>man because they don't even have a CD. I don't

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:19.279
<v Speaker 1>know what's going I don't know what's going on over

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.359
<v Speaker 1>there with the Best Bo because I had to get

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a USB for some ship, but they don't even have

0:38:24.120 --> 0:38:26.280
<v Speaker 1>They don't even have a CD. They don't have any CDs.

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just tripping on how they still got Blu Rays. Yeah, no,

0:38:29.480 --> 0:38:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that's it's nice too. Who the fuck is still buying

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Blu Rays? Juggalos Juggalos for sure. Yeah, And that's how

0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>we end things. We started with Juggalos, We're ending with Juggalos.

0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:45.720
