I'd be like, oh, 816 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: you are retarded. Or when Jay had a lot of money, 817 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: there was one album he put out where he was 818 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: talking about all these labels. 819 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 2: I was like, I can't relate this. 820 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking you know, I never 821 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: even heard of this, you know what I'm saying.

That's a genuine question. 827 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's a good question. I think. 828 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,240 Speaker 3: I think that is a big key, just being honest. 829 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 3: The audience is very smart, you know, so if you're 830 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 3: being true to yourself, then I think there are things 831 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 3: that are more relatable. Like if I were to go 832 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 3: out and talk about like, you know, like I don't know, 833 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 3: some gang shit or some hood ship, I just think it. 834 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 2: Would just be like, no, But if I'm talking about 835 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 2: the beach or I'm hanging out. 836 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 3: With some of the chicks, like Barbie all right, that 837 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 3: sounds like and tick to him, And when I'm in 838 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 3: that mood, I can relate to that. 839 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 2: So I think being true to yourself is more relatable. 840 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 3: I think that's why, uh you know, that's why some 841 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 3: people like my records at one point and they don't 842 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 3: because maybe they can't relate to where I'm at. 843 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 2: I mean you said that, you said it really well. 844 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 3: It's like us artists are humans, so we're gonna grow, 845 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 3: and as we grow, we're gonna report. 846 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 2: How we feel and what we're feeling. So you might 847 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 2: not be in the same exact mindset that your favorite 848 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 2: artist is in when he puts out an album, but 849 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 2: give them time, you know what I'm. 850 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 3: Saying, Like play it like in a year when you're 851 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 3: sad or some share when you bring up with your man, 852 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 3: or like you know, or when you're on the beach, 853 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 3: in my case. 854 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: On the beach, on hey, on the beach. But I 855 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: think it's also like when you have a favorite artist 856 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: and you know they're talented, Like you know, okay, I 857 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: rocked with you for I know your talent, right, It's 858 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: like respecting that, Okay, I know that I'm gonna like it. 859 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: Either eventually you know, like I said, the life cycle 860 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: or what have you. 861 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 3: I love fans like that too, because I over the years, 862 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 3: like I see who my fans are, Like I you know, 863 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 3: of course there's something I don't see. 864 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 2: But the people who've been consistent, like been hitting me up, like. 865 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 3: Some of them, it's right with me, no matter what 866 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 3: pro I got. And I'm like, you know what I'm saying, 867 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 3: Like it makes you do feel good because you do 868 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 3: have those artists are those fans who are fans of 869 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 3: the person they get to the point and I think 870 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 3: that does happen through vulnerability. And I'm even trying to 871 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 3: get better at that with my social media and stuff 872 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 3: like that. And that's why I'm here doing this kind 873 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 3: of stuff. It's like, you know, the more people know you, 874 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 3: the more they can invest in the person. And yeah, 875 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 3: so yeah, I think that is a key ingredient, no 876 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 3: pun intended. 877 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: Yeah that was good. Now. I feel like being a 878 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,359 Speaker 1: mixed person, I have a little bit of a race. 879 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: I have race I was called race issues, you know, 880 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: inter racial issues. You being black and being with your 881 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: background and putting out the music you do, do you 882 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: ever feel pressure or hear slack from in the black community. 883 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 2: It's a really good question. It's a really good question. 884 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,919 Speaker 1: It's a real honest question. I was painful. It's hard 885 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: to ask him. 886 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 2: No, really good question. The answer is no. But I 887 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 2: don't get any flam slack from it. I only love. 888 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 3: But I was so insecure about it at first.
