Speaker 1: I never really kind of if it ain't something I'm
Speaker 1: meant to rested in, I ain't really about that oh
Speaker 1: if they ain't calling me like, hey, you want to
Speaker 1: be in a move, But congratulations on getting the tour started.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. I know at first it was a little bit.
Speaker 1: People were upset and many community service that's what it
Speaker 1: sounded like at first. You know, I was it gave
Speaker 1: me a thousand hours, you know, over spend of time.
Speaker 1: But throughout that time, you know, I was inconcentrated. I
Speaker 1: had different things that was going on, so you know,
Speaker 1: throughout that time, I mapped it out to finish it
Speaker 1: at a certain time, but I was getting booked for
Speaker 1: things at the same time. So I would be going
Speaker 1: here doing the show, and they would give me the
Speaker 1: approvals to judge would prove it to the able to
Speaker 1: approve it. I'm like, all right, who fine, I'm good.
Speaker 1: So they had already approved a tour for me to go.
Speaker 1: They saw the schedule of it, but I had one
Speaker 1: hundred hours left, so I scheduled it to where when
Speaker 1: I got back off the tour, I would be done
Speaker 1: within that week before I went back to court. But
Speaker 1: you know, things didn't happen to where I wanted it.
Speaker 1: They made you finish it, yeah, they what they made
Speaker 1: you do? Oh, well basically the whole time I was
Speaker 1: doing the remaining of the thousand dollars that I had,
Speaker 1: I was doing. Uh, I was at a boys attention center,
Speaker 1: you know, so like like prison for for young young boys.
Speaker 1: But I would be doing maintenance. Man. I would be
Speaker 1: you know, re remodeling the walls, whether it be painting
Speaker 1: them from all white, um, fixing the whole bathroom areas
Speaker 1: for the boys. And they put outside the last time
Speaker 1: they had you outside, Well we're in. We're in fenced
Speaker 1: like a real jail. So I would be like, you know,
Speaker 1: cutting grass on the inside part. But I wouldn't be like,
Speaker 1: you know, visible to the public. But you know, how
Speaker 1: to remodel bathrooms and everything. You know, when you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to like you know, you create a person you're painting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't painting in the art form that I kind
Speaker 1: of wanted to paint. Like when you're just painting just
Speaker 1: white plaster and everything, it is just like all right,
Speaker 1: this is not what I Usually when they have guys
Speaker 1: that detention center, they want you to talk to the kids.
Speaker 1: That's your community service. Like nope, not Chris. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know I wouldn't I wouldn't. I kind of didn't understand
Speaker 1: that too, you know, I was looking at the situation like,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I have more of a um understanding,
Speaker 1: you know, of the youth or being able to have
Speaker 1: been to certain experiences to give him my insight on
Speaker 1: how not to take that certain path. But I think
Speaker 1: they wanted it to be more of a labor thing.
Speaker 1: It's more of a punishment than than than me to
Speaker 1: actually help the community, which is kind of backwards. But
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't make the rules on
Speaker 1: the fans on Instagram because they was coming at yours up.
Speaker 1: We can't see trade because of you, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: and me. You know, I'm I'm never politically correct. I'm
Speaker 1: always we know, you know how I mean, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really kind of have a filter. I try
Speaker 1: to kind of chill now, like just to be like, man,
Speaker 1: it's not that important. You can't control it your life,
Speaker 1: you know. I always say he liked it with tendency
Speaker 1: he can't control. But sometimes it's difficult, Like does that
Speaker 1: affect you know how the judge looked at you and everything.
Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, he just did this, and we thought
Speaker 1: he was doing his community service. He did that, but
Speaker 1: then he goes out. Do you think that's something that
Speaker 1: affects I just think the judge. I mean, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: talk about the judge because I'm not I'm not a
Speaker 1: probation all the way, so I would say I don't
Speaker 1: think it would make a difference. I think even if
Speaker 1: I was at church every day and do whatever, it
Speaker 1: would be something to talk about. A. Yeah, they have opinion.
Speaker 1: And I think how media has uh kind of not
Speaker 1: saying targeted me because I'm not here to be like
Speaker 1: woe is me and all that. That's kind of boys
Speaker 1: definite media. Yeah, yeah, it gets it gets old all
Speaker 1: the time, you know what I'm saying. But I feel
Speaker 1: like the only thing that's highlighted in my career for
Speaker 1: the last five years is my negativity, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But the only thing that I can do
Speaker 1: is put my positive music out and do what I
Speaker 1: do and be great at that. That's the only thing
Speaker 1: that has been successful is the music. And people can't
Speaker 1: deny an under nivel hit, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So if you had to put a percentage on how
Speaker 1: much trouble you actually have caused on yourself as persuaded
Speaker 1: how much the media puts on you. What would you say, Um,
Speaker 1: it's fifty fifty. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit
Speaker 1: there and say I'm a saying, but I definitely say
Speaker 1: a lot of the choices that I made in the
Speaker 1: past reflect now, So now I don't have that benefit.
Speaker 1: You don't get the benefit of the doubt. Like, oh, Chris,
Speaker 1: ain't do that. Come on now, people be like, no,
Speaker 1: he did it. You know what I'm saying because of
Speaker 1: my past decisions, we move differently now because you know
Speaker 1: how it seems like people try to start a problem
Speaker 1: because they want to see what they want to see
Speaker 1: you in trouble. Yeah, I mean I'm more vigilant of
Speaker 1: how my surroundings where I go, Like even if a
Speaker 1: place gets shot up or wherever that club whatever, I
Speaker 1: just try to move accordingly and not try to have
Speaker 1: certain influences around, Like you got a certain type of people,
Speaker 1: They're gonna bring a certain type of crop. It was
Speaker 1: a story that you were not going to perform at
Speaker 1: certain types of clubs anymore. Yeah, and so that that
Speaker 1: was too. You were saying, let me get out of
Speaker 1: that element. I mean, you know, I could say that
Speaker 1: for five minutes, but I love a hood. That's my rulers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to after five o'clock close closing time.
Speaker 1: I feel I feel you. I mean, for me, I
Speaker 1: just feel like that's what because I'm not a street dude.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't portraye myself trying to be tough.
Speaker 1: I'm just who I am, you know. So I think
Speaker 1: when I go places and how I'm maneuver, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: just approachable. Like I can go places and go to
Speaker 1: a terrible neighborhood of where it is and like, what's up, man,
Speaker 1: what's doing y'all good? Or go to a nice place
Speaker 1: and be like that. But I think just you have
Speaker 1: to beat your wives on where you go, man, how
Speaker 1: you choose to move around, because sometimes they're shoot the
Speaker 1: place up? Why did this happen? When I'm here? You
Speaker 1: feel like trouble follows you. I feel like the story
Speaker 1: ain't it ain't fun if it ain't that, you know.
Speaker 1: I think. I think after a time, like you kind
Speaker 1: of be like, man, I'm always getting Trouble'm always in
Speaker 1: the situation. I think just you know, God gives certain
Speaker 1: people certain paths, and I think, you know, you gotta
Speaker 1: go to something. You know, if I'm just sitting there
Speaker 1: smill like, hey, let's up, everything's great. I'm about to
Speaker 1: put on these glittery jackets and start dancing like I'm
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be interesting. I think people feed off
Speaker 1: my negativity because they're so interested in my greatness as
Speaker 1: an artist. Have you checked to see if this voodoo
Speaker 1: on you are roots just that you might have. I
Speaker 1: really feel like everything like i'd be like somebody got
Speaker 1: a chicken bone buried with Chris brown name. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't mess with that. I don't messer that. You know.
Speaker 1: I've been on the data couple Island girls, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: Do you ever think in the future you would do
Speaker 1: your memoirs or an autobiography or something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff about me that people don't know, as far as
Speaker 1: like how I got into the game, just just little
Speaker 1: stuff like the details, the fine details. So I think,
Speaker 1: you know, doing a movie would be dope. I'm actually
Speaker 1: shooting the actual documentary for my tour, so everything plays
Speaker 1: in this position like me being held back on the
Speaker 1: tour and not being able to go out there, losing
Speaker 1: like two three million dollars worth of you know, production ticket,
Speaker 1: still having to cut the show and half just because
Speaker 1: all the setbacks. But it shows the the beauty, you know,
Speaker 1: the roads to the cracks he meant, you know, So
Speaker 1: it's it's able. You're able to kind of travel through
Speaker 1: the journey with me and understand, how's until going because
Speaker 1: it's six sold out shows? Yeah, and it's it's you
Speaker 1: and Trey and it's it's you guys are going to
Speaker 1: Virginia boys, how is it? You know? The tours? Actually
Speaker 1: it's been a surprise because I haven't toured you know,
Speaker 1: domestically and almost like three or four years. So being
Speaker 1: able to get back on the road and kind of
Speaker 1: showing the people again because you know, America's is fickled,
Speaker 1: like you have to really win them over every time,
Speaker 1: like every new record is your new record. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking, like a yeah, hi, you know, So
Speaker 1: being able to go out there and you know, be
Speaker 1: on stage every night and see the crowd pat from
Speaker 1: front to back. You know, Now, how does that feel?
Speaker 1: Because for a while when you would when you were
Speaker 1: doing shows, maybe a couple of years ago, they weren't
Speaker 1: a path. People were against you, so you weren't getting
Speaker 1: them field stadiums anymore. But now it's back to what
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, you know, it's amazing and it just
Speaker 1: shows that, Um, I have a good job, you know.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just happy and thankful right now. I
Speaker 1: gotta get that. I gotta get it redne And now
Speaker 1: it's this. I'm sweating on stage. That's why I got
Speaker 1: a hat on. You know what. I'm just over. You're
Speaker 1: gonna eventually go bad. It's gonna I might take I
Speaker 1: might look like Aaron Hall, or I might take that
Speaker 1: Rob that's gonna be. That's gonna be my rob. Now listen,
Speaker 1: let's talk about your relationship. You guys are good now
Speaker 1: back together? Yeah, No, it's no engagement. It was just good,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah together, Really a girl stops. But I
Speaker 1: just I just feel like this is my position on it.
Speaker 1: A lot of the times, like I'm impulsive, Like I said,
Speaker 1: I don't have no filter. So so a lot of
Speaker 1: the times, whether it's an issue in the relationship whatever,
Speaker 1: Sometimes whether it's both party hurled me. We don't know
Speaker 1: how to communicate sometimes to be able to be like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: let's talk about this before we say something right, and
Speaker 1: then we're back together the next week because everybody else
Speaker 1: gonna just then you give it, everybody else the option
Speaker 1: to depict our relationship and and set their own base
Speaker 1: of how we live our life, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I just think, you know, as of now, we've
Speaker 1: been kind of cool with not being on the on
Speaker 1: the You know, it hurt me so bad. I hit boo,
Speaker 1: I said, boo, Please tell me breathey just didn't admit
Speaker 1: that that Drake flew his girl out. Please, No, man,
Speaker 1: I ain't need him. He ain't getting no money by
Speaker 1: talking about him. So I ain't you know, I ain't
Speaker 1: no you know, punny talking about that. But you did
Speaker 1: do a countdown and you didn't count number six, and
Speaker 1: everybody was like, he didn't say six because Drake did
Speaker 1: the six guys soon. Yeah, I don't get that. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that though, Like I don't remember not
Speaker 1: saying like that. Dude, don't make me no checks? This cool?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't you know, I ain't get no
Speaker 1: money by talking about y'all. Was in the studio, it
Speaker 1: seemed like I was making records and I don't Oh, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: Now he just was in the studio. He was a fan,
Speaker 1: so he must really be ducking the fade from Brown.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, I don't got no opinions or none
Speaker 1: of that. You know, he was just he don't make
Speaker 1: me no money. But I talk about him, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So as soon as if I get
Speaker 1: a check by you know, ding ding. But he's not
Speaker 1: a friend, I'm cool except for you and crew chain.
Speaker 1: Moving forward, though, you decided let's just keep this off
Speaker 1: a social media let's not argue and do this. Dada
Speaker 1: da da da. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know it's
Speaker 1: it's it's better for growth and it shows maturity when
Speaker 1: you can you can communicate and talk to a relationship
Speaker 1: and understand each other, you know. So I just I
Speaker 1: just rather do that and not not try to, you know,
Speaker 1: make my stuff as public because people it ain't nobody's
Speaker 1: opinion and people lives anyway, so they can't they can't
Speaker 1: really comment on mind the video together though, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know I did, and we did that about a year
Speaker 1: and a half ago too. But I just waited to
Speaker 1: the right point to just put it out and set
Speaker 1: it up right so good. You know, Kanye said in
Speaker 1: his new record, um all your fault. He said that
Speaker 1: crew cha can never do a little better than you,
Speaker 1: And I'm like with it. I mean not I feel.
Speaker 1: I mean I feel what he meant by And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying like as an arrogant statement, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like in any situation when when you when you
Speaker 1: when you look at yourself as in a certain like
Speaker 1: cocky or not. You know, I think you know, it's
Speaker 1: nowhere else to go, like this radio, you know, there's
Speaker 1: nowhere else to go, Like even with old girl, you know,
Speaker 1: the first one. Yeah, who else are you gonna go to?
Speaker 1: I mean, she got bigger, I know, but that's nice,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good choice. But who else in
Speaker 1: this game she's gonna go to? Corny singing rapper, some
Speaker 1: corny singing rapper name Aubrey? You know what, I'm like
Speaker 1: what she do now, Like you know, I respect for
Speaker 1: all like whatever her choices. But at the time too,
Speaker 1: who now you don't speak to her anymore? You don't
Speaker 1: speak to anymore, So there was no birthday wishes andhing
Speaker 1: like that. Nah, Like I'm just we just cord you like,
Speaker 1: it's like I respect her space, you respect you know,
Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a likes you know too
Speaker 1: much talk and get to hey, what you're doing? What's up?
Speaker 1: What's up? You don' gonna hang out? And you know
Speaker 1: it's it's just complicating. Ain't that's a good thing to
Speaker 1: relapse with, RelA with. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Kanye
Speaker 1: comment on your relationship though, Like do you talk to
Speaker 1: Kanye or she talk? I mean, Kanye, we've been we
Speaker 1: just gotta started getting like real cool over like the
Speaker 1: last couple of months. Man, Like so you know, I
Speaker 1: understand him sometimes, like you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: a lot of people be like, man, he just he
Speaker 1: just complains. He always did this, the stuff he complaining about.
Speaker 1: Don't be so over the top though, Like you know,
Speaker 1: whether it's music or whatever it is. Sometimes how he
Speaker 1: words it, it's like, Okay, damn, I don't say it
Speaker 1: like that. But you know I can't. I can't knock
Speaker 1: the man for how you feel. You know, you is
Speaker 1: you want to be the greatest. You gotta act like
Speaker 1: he's get the greatest. Yeah, he just left it. He
Speaker 1: seems a lot more humble. Now somebody like Justin Bieble.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, He's he's got he got low,
Speaker 1: and he seems like he's popped back up and he's
Speaker 1: trying to have a cleaner image. And it seems like
Speaker 1: the media is at following it, not just allowed it,
Speaker 1: but kind of like pushing it. I wonder why they
Speaker 1: don't give you those those same chances. The skin color.
Speaker 1: I'm light skinned, but not that shape. Yea, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I mean everybody can be like
Speaker 1: pull a raised card man. Y'all know this music industry,
Speaker 1: it's nineteen thirty five. You know, it's funny. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just a different face. People don't speak up and
Speaker 1: say how it is. But you know you got you
Speaker 1: got us that can I'm gonna make an R and
Speaker 1: B song that that's just like okay, that's the best
Speaker 1: I heard, But it's gonna go so far on rhythmic
Speaker 1: maybe touch, you know, but top forty station. But you
Speaker 1: get another artists, different colors singing. It's the it's the
Speaker 1: newest generation of music. Like, oh my god, it's so innovative.
Speaker 1: What follow You know what I'm saying. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not a hater because I love the music too, but
Speaker 1: it is what it is. You see the difference. Look
Speaker 1: at the grammars. Is it easy like to get a
Speaker 1: PR and that can help you clean up your image.
Speaker 1: If the media don't want to be clear ANYPO for me,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go through him. Like I just feel like,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be real with you man. Like Instagram,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean, I'm not feeling you know, I
Speaker 1: might say something, but I'm gonna I delete it later.
Speaker 1: But you I'm gonna say at first, I just get
Speaker 1: it off, you know. But I think PR with me
Speaker 1: is just finding people because you know what it is.
Speaker 1: My biggest challenge is to get the gatekeepers to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's cool to mess with you. You know that. And
Speaker 1: you know what, it could be the toughest rapper or
Speaker 1: whoever it is, We love that guy because you're not
Speaker 1: afraid of him. He's you know, it's not a he's
Speaker 1: not a risk. You know a lot of people, and
Speaker 1: he usually has to be Like I was saying this
Speaker 1: to my friends, like uh, and I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: make it a race thing, but like you know, I
Speaker 1: was at this uh this really this really really rich party.
Speaker 1: Like I just felt awkward that I was like because
Speaker 1: I walked in you know a lot of white people
Speaker 1: that were just looking at me like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: But then when they got drunk, you see what they're
Speaker 1: real feelings is they get drunk on yo. Man, Look,
Speaker 1: you're the best, bro. I love you. Um, you just
Speaker 1: really need like like you're so talented, you just messed
Speaker 1: up all the time. Man, Like, that's what we're afraid
Speaker 1: of you, bro, Like that's what it is, like, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it's just the people that
Speaker 1: got to take the risk. And you know, I take
Speaker 1: a risk every day because I say effort. Then just
Speaker 1: do my thing and do what I'm here to do,
Speaker 1: do my music, do everything for my fans, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people just don't understand how I've been able
Speaker 1: to survive all everything and still be putting out you know,
Speaker 1: number one records and stuff like that. It's just I
Speaker 1: just I don't have a mentality of looking back and caring.
Speaker 1: Seems like you don't care anymore what people say. I don't.
Speaker 1: It's not even about oh he doesn't show remorse. I mean,
Speaker 1: how much remorse I'm gonna show it's been then the
Speaker 1: ten years, Like you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 1: just feel like, if you're not gonna get over you're
Speaker 1: never gonna get over it. Do you think anytime during
Speaker 1: that whole situation, like after we re read, you think
Speaker 1: you may have went to left when you got all
Speaker 1: the tattoos and you you embrace the thug life, you
Speaker 1: embrace the bad boy. I just feel like I embrace
Speaker 1: my creativity. You know, I think I think a lot
Speaker 1: of my tattoos, I don't have gang tattoos. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of my tattoos or are symbols of art.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a painter as well, a different thing.
Speaker 1: So I just I'm just living in my culture of
Speaker 1: my time. I think, you know, it's cliche not to
Speaker 1: have tattoos. Now, if you're a young guy, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh dang, it's I mean, it's not it's not cliche,
Speaker 1: it's rare. It's a rarity if you don't have tattoos.
Speaker 1: But I feel like now I just I didn't. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I'm pushing the envelope. I'm just living my life,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I just look at
Speaker 1: it like if they love it, they love it. If
Speaker 1: you don't, cool, But I'm still rock out on the
Speaker 1: rock because that's what being an artist is. That's what
Speaker 1: being a rock star is. Conformity is prisoned to me,
Speaker 1: you know, being being normal and having to focus on
Speaker 1: I gotta do this because this person likes that. I
Speaker 1: gotta do this because that person like, no, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do this and make y'all follow. But that's what a
Speaker 1: leader does, you know what I'm saying. So I don't
Speaker 1: focus on how many knows I get because I kick
Speaker 1: all the doors down that they put up. They ever
Speaker 1: awkward for you behind the scenes, like the whole situation.
Speaker 1: I just was at the Real the other day. They
Speaker 1: were like, oh, we don't say Chris Brown's name up
Speaker 1: here anymore. Well that's great. That's because when it comes
Speaker 1: to like okay, like say, for instance, aging Violine, she's
Speaker 1: engaged to Lenny s and I'm sure you're running to
Speaker 1: him or for Tamar with her husband. Do they ever
Speaker 1: make it awkward for you? Does anybody ever reach out
Speaker 1: to you and say nobody? Could anybody know me? I'm
Speaker 1: not saying try to act like I'm a tough guy,
Speaker 1: none of that. But I get down when I get down,
Speaker 1: ducking the flight, I'm not I'm not running from no phase.
Speaker 1: I'm not running for that. But I'm also walking the
Speaker 1: straight path till I get all this probation. To be honest,
Speaker 1: I ain't trying to, you know, mess up nothing. Nothing
Speaker 1: gonna mess up my money no more. So what happens
Speaker 1: if somebody calls you and it's like, dude, come on,
Speaker 1: that wasn't not gonna be able to come like what
Speaker 1: you're gonna say on the phone, and plus you probably
Speaker 1: change your number all the time much but you know
Speaker 1: everybody else is gonna be around me, gonna be able
Speaker 1: to get to whoever. If you want to get to me,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get to. But you know, I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not even if I'm gonna say something
Speaker 1: and like how winning on on that on the girls
Speaker 1: or whatever. See mine is a roast. I'm gonna roash
Speaker 1: you like cool, you want to say something about me,
Speaker 1: well let me just joke. But my I don't say
Speaker 1: the stuff that'd be like okay, yeah, you gotta I
Speaker 1: say this stuff that's gonna hurt. Feel like somebody took
Speaker 1: a dagger to you to your vein, like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say some stuff because because because that's how I feel
Speaker 1: like if you take the time out and a lot
Speaker 1: of time. Now I'm getting smart because I'm realizing when
Speaker 1: people are in the panic mode when they need to
Speaker 1: sell something or they need to get ratings or whatever.
Speaker 1: Let's let's poke. But let's poke at Chris Brown because
Speaker 1: he'll bite on it. He'll say something and we'll get
Speaker 1: a reaction out of him because guess what it's gonna
Speaker 1: bring out right into the roof, because he's gonna go
Speaker 1: all the way and then he's gonna look like the
Speaker 1: bad guy and we're gonna win. So now I'm trying
Speaker 1: to realize it. You know, it's still fun to me
Speaker 1: because I like to entertainment. But it's so hard because
Speaker 1: people do comment on your relationship all the time because
Speaker 1: it is always in the new Yeah, you know, different
Speaker 1: things that happen between you guys. It is, you know,
Speaker 1: a very public so it's hard to say who you know.
Speaker 1: It kind of puts it out there for people to
Speaker 1: say what they think or give their opinion. Yea, come
Speaker 1: on about But sometimes that is a little difficult because
Speaker 1: you have to realize that when you put things out there,
Speaker 1: people are always gonna have something to say about him. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of a giving take for me too.
Speaker 1: I gotta understand that. Now, what about go ahead? No? No,
Speaker 1: what about tigging out? Now? How did you and Tiger
Speaker 1: hook up? Oh? I met Tiger years ago? You know,
Speaker 1: I actually was a fan of his, Like it's just
Speaker 1: styled because I felt like me being in LA, there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of guys because at the time YG
Speaker 1: wasn't really out and a couple of other artists that
Speaker 1: that LA is kind of like taking under their wing
Speaker 1: now wasn't there, Like Kendrick Lamar all that stuff. Tiger
Speaker 1: was like really the only one out there. And I
Speaker 1: was just like, man, it's not really no dudes to
Speaker 1: really hang with, Like it's like I don't really hang
Speaker 1: with too many cats. But he was always cool. You know.
Speaker 1: We would see each other in passion and I was like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: let's just work on some music. And then you know,
Speaker 1: just the chemistry of how we worked was just just there,
Speaker 1: Like you know, he could always wrap and and elevate
Speaker 1: a certain song if I wanted to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I like this out he's all right, what do we
Speaker 1: do this? You know, so we just try to do
Speaker 1: it as a mixtape. Man. You know some of the
Speaker 1: songs we did on our first initial mixtape, I got
Speaker 1: a Grammy off of Like Dude, a couple of other
Speaker 1: songs like, so I was like, man, let's just do
Speaker 1: it for real this time. So like AO, that's out
Speaker 1: right now. I did that while I was in rehab,
Speaker 1: like at the same right at the same time, I
Speaker 1: was doing Loyal and I was just like, um Nick
Speaker 1: Knaka gave us both of the beasts, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what, we might as well just do it,
Speaker 1: just do this, do this album. Let's just let's just
Speaker 1: do an album, because you know, the mixtape has such
Speaker 1: as a great buzz and success. Let's just give him
Speaker 1: music because the music we make just for fun is
Speaker 1: great music, you know. Kind because you know, he's in
Speaker 1: the news a lot more. You know, he's in his
Speaker 1: feelings on Instagram with the whole college jennything. He put
Speaker 1: a picture this morning and said he loved and beautiful
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean. I mean, whatever decision
Speaker 1: my man want to make. You know, I'm an rock
Speaker 1: with him, like you know I ain't golen fighting on
Speaker 1: the battles, but it's just like whatever decision you make,
Speaker 1: you know, we see out a lot of things. So
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I just tell her,
Speaker 1: I say, hey, man, if you're dating some some regular
Speaker 1: weak chick whatever, you wouldn't mean, you wouldn't be talked about.
Speaker 1: Nobody would care. Like you'd be like, all right, Tiger,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But because it's news, just
Speaker 1: take it for what it was. If they're saying some
Speaker 1: negative stuff, run with it. Cool. You know, I'll call
Speaker 1: you Bobby Bage and like if you saw the Whitney movie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody thought Bobby was the bad influence on Whitney, but
Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. Always wonder if you feel like
Speaker 1: you get that, uh, that same misconception about you too,
Speaker 1: because everybody thinks about the situation with you and Shorty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but nobody really knows what happened because you've never come
Speaker 1: out and said, well, it wasn't on my fun because
Speaker 1: you can't really. Yeah. Yeah, you know, for me, I
Speaker 1: think it's a character mode for me because you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I think I look Corney's Hills coming
Speaker 1: out right now, just being like, you know what, guess
Speaker 1: what happened? This was? You know, that's not my position
Speaker 1: as a man. I feel like taking responsibility for my actions,
Speaker 1: you know, is the best thing I could do. Um.
Speaker 1: But also I don't. I don't paint a picture of
Speaker 1: her in a bad light or myself, you know, I
Speaker 1: think we were both young in a situation. People do
Speaker 1: the crazy stuff and a lot and more time than often,
Speaker 1: A lot of abusive stuff happens in relationship, but people
Speaker 1: just don't bring it out, Like my laundry is just
Speaker 1: out there to dry, so you can see. Nobody cared
Speaker 1: if the guy's getting hit, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But but but I feel like it's it's more of
Speaker 1: a I think, I think all in all, like it's
Speaker 1: still some but but a lot of past bitterness that
Speaker 1: I've had because I've taken all the blunt for it.
Speaker 1: And then I can't sit there and be like, well,
Speaker 1: what was me? Because I did partake in what I
Speaker 1: did and did put my hands on it, like you
Speaker 1: dimn if you do them if you don't, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I think I think the thing
Speaker 1: that pisses me off the most now is that. Like
Speaker 1: even when I was at the Grammys, like, uh, like
Speaker 1: this ship this ship. No, but I left before that
Speaker 1: even came on. I didn't even know it was on
Speaker 1: until I looked at my Instagram and Twitter, and then
Speaker 1: I don't even know the dude he got it was
Speaker 1: a domestic violence. But my thing is that's great. I'm
Speaker 1: that's great. If you're gonna focus on that, that's great. No. No,
Speaker 1: but also also talk about Mike Brown, talk about all
Speaker 1: these all this injustice that's going on as far as
Speaker 1: politically and and all the things that are wrong with
Speaker 1: our country. You know what I'm saying, don't use the
Speaker 1: music aspect of music to just talk about domestic violence
Speaker 1: because y'all don't talk about it or nothing else. You
Speaker 1: ain't got nobody to know other advocates. I want to
Speaker 1: see whether awards that and all the fundraisers for domestic
Speaker 1: violence that all these so people are doing. You know.
Speaker 1: For me, I'm just being real, like it's just like cool,
Speaker 1: depict that and do your thing. And then you got
Speaker 1: other people in the crowd that are that are artists.
Speaker 1: I don't even know half of these people because I
Speaker 1: don't listen to the music. But I've seen little tweets
Speaker 1: and stuff like oh oh, wells well, you shouldn't let
Speaker 1: Chris Brown come to the wards then, and all this
Speaker 1: stuff like that, And to me, that's gonna slapping my
Speaker 1: face because I ain't got nothing to do with you.
Speaker 1: Like if you if you in a total different lane
Speaker 1: and you're doing whatever you do, your opinion shouldn't be
Speaker 1: that valid. You should worry about what the hell you're doing,
Speaker 1: because I would old Chris Brown came up smacking the mouth,
Speaker 1: but but the new one is like, okay, cool, well
Speaker 1: tell me how to get into them. Pearly gates you
Speaker 1: because you're so perfect, because I need to know how
Speaker 1: to get on that VIP list because I want to
Speaker 1: get it. I want to get it. I want to
Speaker 1: get there too. You know, don't even think of for you,
Speaker 1: because you own yours. I think those for the people
Speaker 1: sitting in that crowd who're probably doing it behind closed
Speaker 1: doors an important discussion. I'm cool with the PA in
Speaker 1: general if you want to make that statement. Whatever cause
Speaker 1: is helping families and people that's going through the same
Speaker 1: situation and I went through whatever, that's great. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about for the entertainers for the people who have other fans,
Speaker 1: who people who look at me with the side I
Speaker 1: when I'm in there, when I don't owe them nothing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Because I really could care
Speaker 1: less if you like me, but I guarantee you your
Speaker 1: fans know my music thinking man on him. I'm still
Speaker 1: so young for that. Seasons you talked about babies last time.
Speaker 1: I see, I can deal with babies, baby with somebody
Speaker 1: you want to marriage. See, I mean see, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't follow a certain form to see. I'm the
Speaker 1: total opposite of the guy that y'all want to give
Speaker 1: y'all the great answers for because I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the remix. Yeah, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: you a remix. So I'm cool having a baby great
Speaker 1: the marriage thing. I'm not cool getting you half of
Speaker 1: what I earned all my life. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like pre nups all that that's cool. I just think
Speaker 1: marriage in our generation marriage has been distorted to our
Speaker 1: generation of people because it hasn't worked like the older
Speaker 1: generation has worked. Our generation what we've seen, what we
Speaker 1: what we've seen, and as as our culture as generations
Speaker 1: from being you know, teenagers to now high school whatever,
Speaker 1: whether college whatever, it's all about to turn up. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And it's and and I'm not
Speaker 1: the best. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not promoting to
Speaker 1: turn up. I'm just saying that's what our mentality is,
Speaker 1: social media, whatever it is. So it's all about what's
Speaker 1: hot at the time. So those values aren't aren't instilled
Speaker 1: in us right now. We don't have leaders to instill that.
Speaker 1: I'm particularly not gonna be that leader because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: turn up with you. You know what I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna be real. But we don't have those kind
Speaker 1: of leaders that instill that. So certain females, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not just my female audience. But females mentalities aren't
Speaker 1: on that, you know what I'm saying. Young dudes, guys,
Speaker 1: we ain't trying to get married right now. You got
Speaker 1: a couple of us, but we're not. So I just
Speaker 1: think as I progress and find out who I am
Speaker 1: more and more like in my thirties. Do you want
Speaker 1: though too? I'm cool too. If one is fine, if
Speaker 1: it's a boy on the first trial bond, you should
Speaker 1: have tracked those two already got then now you know,
Speaker 1: I would like, i'mna be honest, like that would have
Speaker 1: been my ultimate boom. You know what I'm saying. At
Speaker 1: the time, when I was doing my wham wham, but both,
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, get both of them, boom
Speaker 1: and I'm good the condom off. Do you think a
Speaker 1: condom with that one? Come on? Now? Yeah? Do you
Speaker 1: think you could be monogamous? Or do you feel like
Speaker 1: anybody that dates Chris Brown has to know it's gonna
Speaker 1: be some threesomes happening, It's gonna be songs. Come on, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: So this this, this is my take on it, because
Speaker 1: a lot of people ask me the same question, even
Speaker 1: just in my personal life. The good thing about it,
Speaker 1: I think I can you know, it's just the understanding
Speaker 1: the type of woman that has to be able to
Speaker 1: deal with an artist, not just me, just an artist
Speaker 1: in general, has to understand that creativity plays a role
Speaker 1: and everything, sex everything. So for me, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: generally I would just need to have sex with multiple
Speaker 1: women all the time, but that's more of a choice
Speaker 1: for us as artists rather than the dude that works
Speaker 1: at Kingcod Unless his game is just amazing. But so
Speaker 1: it's a lot harder, you know, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: it's a lot harder for us to fight temptation. Not
Speaker 1: saying we don't, but it's a lot harder for us
Speaker 1: when a girl can just come up to us and
Speaker 1: be like, Hey, I want to perform Felasio on you
Speaker 1: just because I like you. Chris just you know, Chris
Speaker 1: just did. Chris just basically told the girl, give me
Speaker 1: some head within a nice creative but but but yours.
Speaker 1: But I had this conversation with my girl, and you know,
Speaker 1: she she she understands it. But I do my best
Speaker 1: to not to not cheating, not you know, be crazy
Speaker 1: all over the place. I always have females around me,
Speaker 1: though I'll never that that helps me write better songs,
Speaker 1: That helps me be more creative and understand the perspective
Speaker 1: of what these certain women want. But she she makes
Speaker 1: it clear, she walks, but you said you always having
Speaker 1: three somethings together, So that hell, you know, that's that's early. Then,
Speaker 1: that was that was early. That was that was early day.
Speaker 1: You know, the feelers getting involved and you got to
Speaker 1: stop that, you know, you know, girls are getting involved
Speaker 1: to be like why you ain't finished with me or
Speaker 1: this something like, No, I don't like the reasons because
Speaker 1: I'm indecisive. I don't know one. I get mad the
Speaker 1: Family Show. I wish. I wish more older R and
Speaker 1: B artists would have those conversations with you about you know,
Speaker 1: girls are in this era because we'll have people come
Speaker 1: on the show, whether it's to you know, could be
Speaker 1: jacking out like the Dream was recently here. I saw
Speaker 1: his interview yea to a little jam, but I don't
Speaker 1: think they understand. It was a light one, but I
Speaker 1: don't think they understand girls in this era. It's not
Speaker 1: the I want to be in love er no more.
Speaker 1: I mean it is in a way because girls always
Speaker 1: want to be loved. Love gets out and I'll kind
Speaker 1: of contradict what he said, you know, I kind of
Speaker 1: go against what he said as far as like the
Speaker 1: R and B artists want to be rappers and stuff. No,
Speaker 1: it's just a different times. It's a totally different time
Speaker 1: when when it when it when it's a different field
Speaker 1: of like I said, the turn up era. We like
Speaker 1: I was the first dude kind of giving those hip
Speaker 1: hop beats on and B records you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's just like when I did M Jose Ain't
Speaker 1: loyal That was from a personal experience of me being
Speaker 1: able to see different facets of thirsty women's thoughts. We
Speaker 1: ain't gonna call on women. You call him thought certain
Speaker 1: certain women only attract to a certain crowd. You go
Speaker 1: to one house, you go to Trade house, same girls,
Speaker 1: you go to Tiger House, same girls, go to Sean
Speaker 1: kings the house, same girls. Go to my house. A
Speaker 1: girl like and you'd be like, dang, I just saw
Speaker 1: you at that party. Why are you trying to get
Speaker 1: be my girlfriend? If you let Nary hit it? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that's what the loyalty was.
Speaker 1: No loyalty there. So that's what's the reason for that
Speaker 1: song because of personal experiences. Now in his case, I
Speaker 1: don't know if he gets to do what we do.
Speaker 1: Sorry to say that, but it's a different age bracket
Speaker 1: and it's a different mentality. Man, you don't have to
Speaker 1: face for it. I'm just saying he's not Chris Brown, right,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's not Chris Brown, and he not Tiger,
Speaker 1: and he not any not trade songs. He's a great writer.
Speaker 1: I could also be hating and say writers want to
Speaker 1: be artists. It's just not made for them. They can
Speaker 1: write great songs, but they can't perform them. They can't
Speaker 1: sell out of runs, they don't have it. But that'd
Speaker 1: be me hating m. But you're speaking honest. I'm being
Speaker 1: honest now. Fifty cent? Yeah, how did you a fifty
Speaker 1: cent get about y'all at the ball Clay citing y'all
Speaker 1: on the album? How'd you get with that? Crazy? See?
Speaker 1: You know what, fifty? I respect fifty the most out
Speaker 1: of anybody. He's crazy because and that's why I kind
Speaker 1: of get some of my ideas because I just I
Speaker 1: don't have time for being faked like he don't play
Speaker 1: the part. He is him all day and I'm the
Speaker 1: same way. So I actually meant fifty. When I was
Speaker 1: twelve years old, I did a g unit campaign with him,
Speaker 1: with me and my best friend. He'll tell you the story.
Speaker 1: Everything on no No, I had the kid outfit, the
Speaker 1: kids Unit, So so we did a we did a
Speaker 1: campaign and I remember me singing for him and just
Speaker 1: you know, being on the photo shoot, like man, we
Speaker 1: do music whatever, whatever, And they always liked our music.
Speaker 1: But you know, they I as an artist. Now I
Speaker 1: can understand why they wouldn't just sign us on the spot,
Speaker 1: because we don't just do that. We hear somebody wrap us,
Speaker 1: somebody's good. Oh man, you dope cool? All right, keep
Speaker 1: doing your thing, you know what I'm saying. So that's
Speaker 1: what it was. As I progressed, when he saw me
Speaker 1: as a as an actual entertainer, He's like, I said,
Speaker 1: you don't remember me. He was like, bro, you was
Speaker 1: the little boy that that was at the little you know,
Speaker 1: shoot boo, and he remember. So he always had a
Speaker 1: respect for me because he knew me from actually a
Speaker 1: little kid. So you know, we got into the studio
Speaker 1: and we always like Kevin touched like you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of like maybe four or five years ago, I
Speaker 1: did a matter Square Garden and he came out and
Speaker 1: came out on the show. But I said, oh yo, bro,
Speaker 1: we hung out of La. He got on me and
Speaker 1: Tiger's album, um, and I just got on some new
Speaker 1: stuff for his album, and I was just like we
Speaker 1: just vibed out, and I just I understand the insanity
Speaker 1: in the genius, you know what I'm saying. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm able to be befriend that. You know, me and
Speaker 1: him are both not all the way there, but that's
Speaker 1: what makes us great. He's a crazy one. If you
Speaker 1: have a problem, don't call him, don't go get him,
Speaker 1: Like he's that guy who drive you there. Who do
Speaker 1: you call when you need to talk to somebody about something?
Speaker 1: Clearly somebody, but somebody in this business with somebody that
Speaker 1: you call when things are a little crazy and you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta talk to you know, the one
Speaker 1: person that I can honestly say that I look up
Speaker 1: to out of out of anybody, that's that's you know,
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson have been would have been my idol. But
Speaker 1: as far as like um, character, uh, poise and you know,
Speaker 1: just just a sense of themselves and and don't need
Speaker 1: to fit in, don't need to act a certain way whatever.
Speaker 1: It's for real really honestly like like, um, he's like
Speaker 1: one of my inspirations. As far as like just a
Speaker 1: just a stand up man, just a good guy. You
Speaker 1: know that kid Virginia, you know, got his own got
Speaker 1: his kid, got his girl, like cool, but just fly
Speaker 1: doing his own thing on his own time. I wants
Speaker 1: to do it. And it's very respectable and understands the game,
Speaker 1: you know. So I think I think I'll take a
Speaker 1: lot of inspiration from him. So if I really need
Speaker 1: some real advice, I'll talk to him, you know, a
Speaker 1: conversation were always having an industry, and I wonder if
Speaker 1: you feel this way, you feel like you may have
Speaker 1: missed the moment because everybody says Chris is supposed to
Speaker 1: be the next Michael Jackson. He's supposed to be on
Speaker 1: the same level as b or whatever. You know. You know,
Speaker 1: the funny thing is I am on that level. But
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm Michael Jackson Beyonce. I just I mean,
Speaker 1: if you know you're great, you know you're great. You
Speaker 1: know when people when people say he posted to be that,
Speaker 1: that's because they already know I'm not. I guess from
Speaker 1: a marketable level, like with you know you you know
Speaker 1: you're doing the Juicy food commercial and that and and
Speaker 1: that's that's that's based on that's like high school like popularity.
Speaker 1: That's cool. But if I know that every little kid,
Speaker 1: the person that's dancing, if I go, if I go
Speaker 1: make a Billy Jean right now, and I just moon
Speaker 1: walk across stage, because that time has passed from Michael Jackson,
Speaker 1: those little kids would be like Chris Brown did The Moonwalker.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, But I won't but I
Speaker 1: won't take that credit. But I know by the dancings
Speaker 1: that I do now and the music that I'm doing
Speaker 1: and how it transitions, because I never just stick to
Speaker 1: one genre. I'll try to bounce around, Like my next
Speaker 1: album is gonna be like Universal, try to put you
Speaker 1: overseas for a couple of months with me, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So so I think with my audience,
Speaker 1: it kind of differs because it's such a wide range.
Speaker 1: Like like even on my shows like I do Meet
Speaker 1: and Greece, you have a forty five year old woman
Speaker 1: come in by herself, no no kids, you know, I
Speaker 1: love you. Then you have six year old come in,
Speaker 1: you know, with your T shirt on, addressing like how
Speaker 1: you look in the Loyal video or whatever. You know,
Speaker 1: you have certain things that you that you reach to,
Speaker 1: certain people, you know, and I think for me, it's
Speaker 1: just on how I progress. I can't look back and
Speaker 1: say I wish I could have did it this way,
Speaker 1: because then I'll be mad at my life. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because I can't get it to the
Speaker 1: fullest potential, all I can do now is just be like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna kill everything I do.
Speaker 1: How hard is it to move forward? Though? Because everybody
Speaker 1: wants to keep you on all the negative stuff. They
Speaker 1: want to keep reminding you of it. It's only hard
Speaker 1: when it stops you, you know what I'm saying, It's
Speaker 1: hard when it stops you. As far as like legal situations,
Speaker 1: like when this probation is said and done, it's nothing
Speaker 1: else you can talk about. You can't keep bringing that
Speaker 1: the situation up because I ain't doing nothing. I ain't
Speaker 1: still on something for that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm done. So it's like I get my twenties back.
Speaker 1: You know, I got on probation when I was seventeen.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm twenty five, you know, but you know
Speaker 1: so so me being able to transition now, I get
Speaker 1: to start overcoming, right, you know. And I just think
Speaker 1: me just focusing on the music. I think every aspect
Speaker 1: of the music I do. I like to do stuff
Speaker 1: that people are like, oh, I would have never I
Speaker 1: thought I heard that kind of music from Chris, But
Speaker 1: I never do because you know, five six years ago,
Speaker 1: you would have never thought you'd heard these holes. Ain't
Speaker 1: Lloyd or you know you're never here to you know
Speaker 1: me and Tiger album where ninety five percent of it
Speaker 1: is me rapping. I might be singing on a hook,
Speaker 1: but you get a chance to hear me as a
Speaker 1: lyricist instead of just being you know, an RB singer.
Speaker 1: You know. So it's just it's just the transition of
Speaker 1: me being able to be an entertainer. I don't call
Speaker 1: myself an R and B artist, a pop artist. I
Speaker 1: call myself an entertainer artist in general, whether it's painting,
Speaker 1: was or anything, because I try to beat in every
Speaker 1: facet of music right anything. You know what, why whyn't
Speaker 1: I ask Tige the same thing, why do people in
Speaker 1: the industry pretend to like each other? Because it's clear
Speaker 1: that you and Alby don't get along, but you're always
Speaker 1: taking pictures together a couple of months ago, like, why
Speaker 1: are you pretending to get along with a present? No,
Speaker 1: it's not even it's not even a pretend thing. I
Speaker 1: think what people do is it's a it's a me factor.
Speaker 1: It's about me. It's about me, It's about me. As
Speaker 1: artists people are selfish because they want to be the best.
Speaker 1: And it's only right because everybody wants to be the
Speaker 1: top person. It's no friendly, it's friendly competition. But on
Speaker 1: these slots, like when y'all got the songs coming up,
Speaker 1: new song or whatever it is, everything is a slot, BTS,
Speaker 1: all that stuff, like I mean, BDS is just you
Speaker 1: just have to You got to be in the number.
Speaker 1: Either you first or you're not. It's not your second
Speaker 1: like your third. I got the number two records in
Speaker 1: the country. Nobody cared. I got the number one record
Speaker 1: in the country. I'm the best, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So everybody wants to be the best, so they have
Speaker 1: to work for it, and friendship gets in the way
Speaker 1: of that. So people will be fake. People are fake
Speaker 1: so they can be cordial. They might be fans of
Speaker 1: the person. But I'll be lying if I say everybody
Speaker 1: don't envy everybody, whoever, whoever is that number one person.
Speaker 1: And it's usually mean most of the time. And I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with my records, like you know, I get
Speaker 1: a lot of number one, so it's like a lot
Speaker 1: of people envy that, you know, So even even if
Speaker 1: somebody got the number one spot over me. Dang, I
Speaker 1: want to get the number on the spot. What I
Speaker 1: gotta do to get there? Man, forget their record, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You're not thinking about, oh man,
Speaker 1: they deserve that or they're good. You know, you're thinking
Speaker 1: about how you're gonna beat them up that spot. You know.
Speaker 1: So the friendship kind of deteriorates from that. So you
Speaker 1: get to hay, what's up man, oh man, cool man, whatever,
Speaker 1: menace hanging out, let's be bored. And then then the
Speaker 1: dude be like, Man, I'm trying to get this dude
Speaker 1: out of here. I'm gonna set him up. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say this, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna sneak this
Speaker 1: on record. I'm high this girl my lakes girl picks, Like,
Speaker 1: why do y'all all stupid? The same girls too? Like
Speaker 1: that's weird to me. My thing is, like I think
Speaker 1: it's it's a greed factor, you know for me, Like
Speaker 1: I used to do that all the time, Like back
Speaker 1: in the day, I was like, Oh, that's who Shanty
Speaker 1: talked to. I'm about to get that because it's a
Speaker 1: it's an ego thing you want to be, you want
Speaker 1: to feel empowered. You want to conquer it. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I think now mentally I'm not on
Speaker 1: that page because I don't care about that no more.
Speaker 1: But I think what it is is it goes right
Speaker 1: back to the records. It's an envy thing. You want
Speaker 1: to be the best. You want to know why that
Speaker 1: particular female like this person so much and they don't
Speaker 1: like you. They're not listening to your music. So let
Speaker 1: me go and try to talk to this person while
Speaker 1: he's locked up, because I know if he was out
Speaker 1: of jail, you'd beat mine. And he's still probably gonna
Speaker 1: beat that. To fade from Brown, you talked about the gatekeepers.
Speaker 1: Have any of the gatekeepers like ever said all right, Chris,
Speaker 1: you're good now, we're gonna let you live. Have they
Speaker 1: ever told you you're you're done for a little while?
Speaker 1: No Abo Jay was blocking you, Jay z Oh, No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think. I don't never. I never
Speaker 1: thought Jay was blocking me. I don't think that was ever.
Speaker 1: You know something. I think that was just a rumor
Speaker 1: because he was so close to the generation. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, because because I see him, I see him,
Speaker 1: and we always were cordial, like, you know, we don't
Speaker 1: hang out, but we're cordial, you know. Um, But I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never really met any of the gatekeepers
Speaker 1: per se to be able to have a sit down
Speaker 1: with them. But the funniest thing when I do meet
Speaker 1: certain people or certain people that are in the position,
Speaker 1: they were like, oh man, I thought you were so
Speaker 1: much different. I thought you were just like an angry guy, mad,
Speaker 1: just hate the world. And that's just the perception because
Speaker 1: the media can can keep you at a certain position,
Speaker 1: and oh they can. They can make it look so cold,
Speaker 1: they can make it looks so cold. I was like, dang,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like, oh jay, I just like you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, So you just have to I
Speaker 1: just got thick skin, man, you know it's only I mean,
Speaker 1: I could take the lashes. We've been getting them all
Speaker 1: our lives. So if I'm won't bring them on whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the albums and stores right now? Yes, Yes, what's the
Speaker 1: name of the album? Fan? The album Fan of a Fan. Well,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you join this and thank you for coming
Speaker 1: through as always. Oh yeah, man, I appreciate album. You know,
Speaker 1: you know what it was exactly she got it right.
Speaker 1: We were trying to do the nineties era, like the
Speaker 1: old like, like the old album covers, like when people
Speaker 1: did like had excitement, had a budget, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, we just wanted to have fun, you know,
Speaker 1: just bring bring that, you know, whether it's the EPMD,
Speaker 1: you know, just that that that real leaders a new
Speaker 1: school criss cross. We wanted to kind of bring that
Speaker 1: to the you know, the excitement of the album. I
Speaker 1: think um our collaborations and how we you know, integrated
Speaker 1: a lot of the songs in the music. It's just
Speaker 1: a it's just a fun, fresh way of us being ourselves.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's not it's not I'm not giving
Speaker 1: you a Chris Brown album. That's why you see the
Speaker 1: dreads and the actual things, because it's it's not an
Speaker 1: alter ego. But it's just a different side of of
Speaker 1: of the music that we can't create. I always felt
Speaker 1: like you and Kid would do a whole album together
Speaker 1: or something at some point. No, I'm gonna need a
Speaker 1: lot more money from the side, to be honest. How
Speaker 1: to help that boy out way too much? Yeah, RCA
Speaker 1: owe me a lot, you know, but but you know
Speaker 1: that's my homeboyd you know when he called me whatever
