0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying. Like, I think that's one

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 4>of the main things too, like being known for you know,

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:47.960

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.480

<v Speaker 3>You do everything bro almost like you're like you're as

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Jay likes to say, you're a real Swiss army knife

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 3>that part man. In the rooms you've been in that

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 3>you've been creative in your input has been necessary. As

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 3>you say, you have this thing where you're able to

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 3>see something completely different than what everybody else is saying. Right,

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 3>and your discography reflects that.

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I can hear it.

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 4>I know left when I hear it, no facts, you

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying. I know I know when a

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 4>nigga is not right in his mind, you know what

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying, Making something like why would he?

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>That's what makes you stand out in music though, honestly

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and being able to stand on that ledge sometimes because

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 2>you know it's easy for niggas to be like, man,

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't fuck with that, and now I don't fuck

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>with him because this ship is too you know what

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>But you're well versed in what you do as well.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not like you're just some guy who's just Since

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody is saying this, I just want to say something different.

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>No, I actually can break it down to you right exactly.

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I have the information exactly because everybody don't got the information.

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 2>And to get the information, you got to do time

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>in this ship.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 4>And that's yeah, I think that's the important part. I

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 4>think that's something that isn't as present, you know what

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying nowadays because a lot of people h you

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 4>can fast track your.

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead and tell them that they take a shortcut.

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 4>You fast tracked your way to success nowadays, and it

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 4>was like, I'll literally he was privileged enough. And that's

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 4>why I think this is like, this is amazing and

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 4>beautiful because it's like I was influenced by and have

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 4>been influenced by both of you, you know what I'm saying,

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 4>in different ways. And I also have been able to

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 4>work and see you work, you know what I'm saying.

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 4>So it's like back then, if I was just talking

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 4>about this earlier.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>If you wasn't in the room, you didn't know what

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>was going on in the room. You know what I'm saying.

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>We didn't have the phone, and you know what I'm saying.

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 2>All of that ship it was like your nigga would

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>put pull out a camera back in the days.

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 1>And Michael.

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Fast Quincy in this joint, Quincy right there, Quincy Jones here,

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 3>he's scoring ship.

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like hard ship and nigger Mike Leig, Mike.

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Something, mess with your nose, man. Your nose is spine.

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Everybody tell Michael's knows the spine, Like that's how we

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 3>live in a while, That's what's going on now.

0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 4>And it distracts, you know, the process as well as

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 4>just like you know, you just don't get the same education.

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying. I got to see the education.

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 4>I got to see you guys writing the songs. I

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 4>got to see Harvey vocal producer. I got to see

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 4>Damon doing shit. I got to see everything, like how

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 4>the greatest songs that people love are made and the

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 4>songs that I grew up listening to are made. And

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, being a church musician being somebody that's told

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 4>coming into the industry, you can't do this, you can't

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 4>do that.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 1>I was doing all the left shit. I was, and

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the left ship really is just like.

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Your experience, like your character who you are, church gangster shit,

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying. And it's like I ain't

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 4>a gang member, but it's like being around niggas that

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, I.

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Can tell their stories musically.

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 4>That's how you you know, being able to create a

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 4>sound for Nipsey or be able to be the only

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 4>producer that Nipsey would endorse or the only production company

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 4>that Nipsey would endorse. All the music had to come

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 4>through us, you know what I'm saying, because we understand

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 4>the experience, we understand who the artist is, we know

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 4>how to convey it, and there may be something that

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 4>gravitates to him or something that he likes about the beat.

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 4>But it's like, how can we put it into you know,

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 4>our turns? How can it be in La on Crenshaw?

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 4>How can it sound like it looked? You know what

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying. So I think that was the dope thing

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 4>that I got to see from y'all. It was like

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 4>the experience and then I was able to take that

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 4>and practice that and have it take you down. And

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying, all these different moments that

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm practicing and like witnessing this ship in real time,

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 4>and that's that's the experience and the ship that I, uh,

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, advocate. Now it's like for people to really

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 4>educate themselves. Now we got YouTube. You can literally go

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 4>look at a thousand videos on there's no reason not

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 4>to have, you know, any type of education on any subject.

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>For that.

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Man, let's let's talk about that there. Let's let's let's

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.239
<v Speaker 2>go back right. Let's let's go back to South Central.

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's go back to LA in the beginning for you,

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, as Tank says, you know when someone or

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 2>when you yourself identified that you were going to be

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 2>special in this thing and this is something that you

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do with your life, because this isn't always

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 2>everybody's choice, especially when you're a little kid. And I've

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>known you a long time. You've always been in music.

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>It's been years, you know what I mean. Like you've

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 2>done your ten thousand hours two or three times. You know,

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>you've done it, you know what I mean? So you know,

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>can you give us, you know, just a rundown of

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>growing up in la growing up in the church, and

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 2>then what y'all grew up around this whole time.

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 4>My experience of church was different because my dad was

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 4>like the nigga and gospel.

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm just saying, like, you know, he was the person

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 4>and it's like, you know, I see a lot of

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.199
<v Speaker 4>him and myself now, you know what I'm saying looking back,

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, he like you know, had the album, started

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 4>a record company with my name in the nineteen eighty eight.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>But he was the only person that was like bringing Thomas.

<v Speaker 4>Whitfield out here, bringing John p Key, bringing uh Fred Hammond,

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:18.400

<v Speaker 1>He was cool with all of these people.

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 4>He was the only person on Maddy Moss Clark album

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.240

<v Speaker 4>took him under, you know what I'm saying.

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.280

<v Speaker 4>So it's crazy because people know me in that world

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 4>from that. But growing up, it was like I ain't

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.840

<v Speaker 1>So that was like they first you know, the Johnson sisters,

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying.

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 4>So it's hard like no them moving on. But this

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 4>was my four years old five years old, you know,

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 4>being in production. Yeah, and I'm like what is going on?

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 4>So I'm just around the drums every day, like I

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 4>just know I want to be a part of something

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 4>over here.

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.559
<v Speaker 4>So I started being around the drums, start playing the drums,

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:01.560
<v Speaker 4>around like four or five.

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I started, I could, you know, play the drums standing

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>up whatever? Carry service.

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Then my dad did another live recording, uh around like

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 4>the church that Sunday, I'm playing the drums.

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 1>My dad is like, lamar, get on the organ. You

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>never played, never played the organ ever. I played the piano, literally,

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>because that is a very different instrument. Yeah, like sister

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Fanny donated the organ. Get on the organ? Like what

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>So I go on the organ and he just starts.

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 4>Singing, start following.

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>No, I did not, no, no, I was sweating.

<v Speaker 1>Did you feel arms come across your shoulders?

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 4>There was none of that was over there and the

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 4>orion was all the way over here. And to add

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 4>insult to injury, my dad, thinking he's helping, is calling

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 4>out all the things I should play.

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 1>So you're telling, you're telling the audience in the church.

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Church, I don't know what I'm doing while I'm figuring

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 4>out that I don't know what I'm doing, and then

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 4>gonna make me play.

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>The song like e flat No, that's flat e flat

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>major okay, yep, man two F minor. Like he doing

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that through the whole song. He instead of just going

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>over there playing in itself. I hold the mic like

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>with service. That's a different school. That's every day.

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 4>I went to the church and I practiced the organ,

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 4>and it's my favorite instrument now. But that was like

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 4>the first time I played, so you know, by that

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.080
<v Speaker 4>time I had figured out, Okay, I got a drum set,

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 4>I got keys, and it's an organ at the church.

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 4>So every Christmas and Birthday I ask for a different instrument.

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 4>So that's kind of how I start learning how to

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 4>play everything else. But once I got to the point

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 4>of making beats, it was on accident. Somebody else donated

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 4>the keyboard to my to the church.

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Shout out to the donation.

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 4>My dad's friend, Ron Thomas. Shout out to Ron Thomas.

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 4>So he donates the Trinity to the church. Come on, Trinity,

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm playing in Trinity. I'm in the vibe now, I'm

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 4>playing keys. Me and my cousin are my rest in peace.

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 4>It's it's a two band, but it sounds like it's

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 4>four or five of us, Like I'm playing. I got

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 4>to figure it out now. One day I'm at the

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 4>church and I accidentally pressed the record button like the

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 4>sequence button, and it just went to a whole nother

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 4>screen and I was like, oh, shoot, like I don't

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 4>know you know what I'm saying. I ain't know how

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 4>to get back or nothing. So I'm just like trying

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 4>to figure it out. And that's how I start like

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 4>learning how to make beats. And it was never like

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 4>let me do what I'm thinking. It was like, all right,

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.840

<v Speaker 1>so anxious my dad keep it church, like how you

<v Speaker 1>Like all right, look tell me what this is.

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 4>Boom boom or then I started asking them what what

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 4>beat should I make? You know, So that's kind of

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 4>how I start like making beats. But I never really

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 4>thought about like making beats for artists. I never thought

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 4>about producing like my own nothing. I just I was

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 4>just making music. And after I after I graduated. I

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 4>graduated high school earlier, my dad was very adamant about

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 4>giving me out the house.

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 1>So he's like.

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 4>His his thing was like when we wear the same size,

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 4>one of us got to go.

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 2>So he was like, wow, yeah, so my son my

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 2>side damn to kick him out, kick him out.

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 4>Finish to the rules of why graduated early, I'm like, okay, well,

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 4>when we had independent study, this is like I don't

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 4>even want to go into the whole thing.

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>But the short version is my dad low Keith thought

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I was special because the teachers will.

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Always say Lamar's. Lamar is so bright and he always

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 4>does great on all of his work. But he's always

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 4>like beating and doing stuff in class. And like in

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 4>my head, we didn't have no voice recorders, we had

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 4>no phones, no voice memos, none of that. So I

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 4>always have beats that I heard and try to like

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 4>do the beat from first, yeriod, remember second, all the

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 4>way until I got to the church. Then when I

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 4>get to the church, I can record the b but nobody.

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 4>I can't explain that to you, back to your parents,

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.440

<v Speaker 4>you know, just going through this, and then I go through,

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, the whole thing where I'm sitting in a

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 4>but you know, then it.

0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Gets He was in the class television him and Robert

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.000

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 2>like how did y'all get to the Edmunds Building? How

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:18.679
<v Speaker 2>did y'all get to the Edmunds Building?

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Uh? Honestly, Like.

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 4>To be truthful, Damon really took a liking to me

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.400
<v Speaker 4>and and.

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Like the production and the stuff that I was doing

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 1>at the time.

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 4>It was I was a little I've always been more musical,

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 4>but at that time, like I told you, there was

0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:41.439
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people that were telling me, you know,

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 4>when you produce, you can't do this.

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 1>You can't you know what I'm saying. So what were

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 1>they tell you not to do? I mean, like, okay,

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:51.680
<v Speaker 1>so I was signed a warn right and like he

<v Speaker 1>I was doing was fire, but I have to find

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a way to make it fit.

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know what that meant at that time, so

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 4>I just equated that as don't do that ship gotcha.

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:10.040

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So we came up to the floor. What I didn't

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:05.560
<v Speaker 1>know was that you had to sign some ship and

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>or be signed. I didn't know that either.

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:15.639

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, it's a desk. It's a nice young lady

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:38.200
<v Speaker 4>right there. Sign this ship and go past the ship.

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.439

<v Speaker 4>So you know, so that created the the you know,

0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:56.159
<v Speaker 4>the bond and the way that I was coming on

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:57.960
<v Speaker 4>the floor. You know what I'm saying now, everybody else

0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:01.800

<v Speaker 4>So I would just be in his room trying to

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:32.400
<v Speaker 4>figure shit out, and it was like that's literally yeah Osburgers,

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:36.000
<v Speaker 4>and that's literally like where and how I may take

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 4>you down because he just let me come up on

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 4>the floor and I'm just, you know, figuring it out,

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 4>like there was no reason for me to be there,

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 4>but just to learn and be wild by all.

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>The niggas that I respected. Story behind. Take you down, Yeah,

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 1>take you down? Okay, Yeah, I'm in Damon's room and.

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 4>I went downstairs to get high because you can't smoke

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 4>in the studio, which I hated. So I went downstairs,

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:05.600
<v Speaker 4>propped the door, get hort or whatever. I come upstairs

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:07.960
<v Speaker 4>and I hear the beat in my head while I'm

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 4>smoking and shit, so I'm like, all right, cool, I

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 4>just hear that, like.

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Like I all right, I go back upstairs.

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't know this shit because I do, you know,

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 4>MPCs and keyboards and shiit. This was my introduction to

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 4>using a doll you know what I'm saying, digital audio

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 4>workstation and we were using logic, so it's just a

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:33.840
<v Speaker 4>keyboard and logic. I'm like, fuck, let me just hear

0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 4>so I'll just go through the ship. I think it

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 4>was some rob kno kids loaded in there. I'm just

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 4>doing shit until I find the ship that I you know,

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 4>do so I do that shit, do.

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 1>The beat, build out the rest of it. It's just going.

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>It's going.

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:50.920
<v Speaker 4>And then I get to the part where I want

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 4>to go to the next section and the MIDI sustain

0:29:57.280 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 4>is like just going and I don't know how to

0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 4>put stop there. So I'm like, I don't want to

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:07.880
<v Speaker 4>say I'm too prideful, but I was. I didn't want

0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 4>to go until somebody these niggas session up or as

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 4>one of you elite as niggas.

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm on the bench over here. How do you

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 1>open this gatorade? Like how do you open? So I'm like,

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm gonna figure this out. So I'm up

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 1>there just trying to figure it.

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 4>Out, and I'm like, fuck it, I'm gonna just move

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 4>all the ship to it just die out so on

0:30:30.920 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 4>the part so that stay.

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>So when it does the it's like dud.

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:43.760
<v Speaker 4>Ship. That wasn't on purpose. That was a real accident.

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 4>And I just didn't want to tell niggas like like

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 4>I accidentally did that, or how do you fix that?

0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Nobody said that they like it.

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:58.680
<v Speaker 3>The bubbles at New Bubbles after they sustained already know what.

0:30:56.080 --> 0:31:01.080
<v Speaker 1>You I didn't know how to drag spliced it even know,

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 4>So so when I get to that part after I

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 4>paced it, I you know, play it again.

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I turn it up a little bit. Damon comes in

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the room like literally like seven minutes after I'm like

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>doing it. He's like, yo, what is this. I'm like,

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, like just trying to do something like

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 1>this is going on Chris Brown. And then he.

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Walked out the room, no cap, and I was like, nigga,

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 4>yeah right, you know what I'm saying. I'm thinking about

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 4>hair like like that never happens, right, nobody tells you

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 4>like I'm going to do this and then they do it.

0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 4>That doesn't happen. So I just finished the ship and

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 4>didn't know that Damon took what I did. They finished,

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.600
<v Speaker 4>and they did, the bridge went up in a they

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 4>went and y'all ended up writing and doing all the shit.

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 4>And I'm on the second floor, you know, regular business,

0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 4>and my lawyer called me like, hey, do you have

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 4>a single coming out on Chris Brown? I was like,

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 4>uh no, no, Well do I remember the conference? I

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 4>was like no, I don't think so I was like,

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 4>wait do I He was like, we just got something

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:19.920
<v Speaker 4>from the Underdog saying that you know, I'm just like this, Yeah,

0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Like Damon was the first person that told me that

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to do this, and he did it.

0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I don't.

0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Care what what nobody think.

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Whatever.

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 4>If Damon called me today, I'm going to answer the phone.

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm just that type of nigga. I'm a loyal nigga,

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Like you know what I'm saying.

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 4>So like that was something that they didn't even have

0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 4>to do, you know, or they could have just took

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 4>the idea and just just said, hey, let's reproduce this

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 4>and you know what I'm saying now, I'm fighting it.

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Nah, you didn't really do that.

0:32:53.000 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 4>We don't care like niggas do that every day because

0:32:55.640 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 4>you also did it.

0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 1>On their exactly. It's not like it was in your computer.

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 1>It was on their Like this is a thing.

0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 2>So for them to them to, you know, to stay

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>solid in that type of situation because you.

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't have won that in court. You wouldn't have

0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 1>won that in court. Here's the thing. You remember when

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I told you that sheet that everybody's supposed to sign,

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you didn't sign it. You didn't sign. That's the leverage

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I got you.

0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 4>So you know, because I didn't sign that sheet, I

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 4>had a little bit more leverage. But at the same time,

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 4>you never needed It wasn't yes about the relationship was cool.

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 4>And that's why I like talking about experiences that happened

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 4>like that as well as experiences that don't. You know

0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying, because it's like you have to let

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:53.920
<v Speaker 4>people know, like this ship ain't always fire and it

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 4>can always go however, because they're the underdogs, just stay ship.

0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.760
<v Speaker 4>So just like all these other artists just getting fire overnight,

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 4>they got the company and stay ship. They want to

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 4>pay you two dollars for the beat? Do you want

0:34:08.520 --> 0:34:12.479
<v Speaker 4>to go viral or not? Take this two dollars? Shut

0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:13.320
<v Speaker 4>the hell up early?

0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:17.440
<v Speaker 1>And was this your first placement? That was my first placement?

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Like that?

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 4>That was my first single, That was like my first

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:23.280
<v Speaker 4>big placement. I think the first place, my first placement

0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 4>was my very first placement. Is not worth mentioning my

0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:30.840
<v Speaker 4>first place in that first placement that I would like

0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 4>to talk about Bobby Valentino Gangster Love with my cousin Swift,

0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 4>and really my cousin Swift did the whole beat, he

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 4>had did it. I was working with him at the time,

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:47.320
<v Speaker 4>and you know, we were the band for Bobby Valentino

0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 4>and Tim and Bob really took a liking to us

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 4>and our music and the ship that we was doing

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 4>at the time just wasn't as fire as the ship

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:57.239
<v Speaker 4>that you know, Swift did. Like we have the musicality

0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 4>but not the sonics and like, you know, figuring out

0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:02.720
<v Speaker 4>the mixed and this ship. So shout out to Swift

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:05.400
<v Speaker 4>not but yeah, that was the first place, man.

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:10.240
<v Speaker 1>We did. When was your first real check for a placement?

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 1>First real check was I think I was still seventeen.

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I might have been eighteen. It was with Billy Marsa

0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:23.359

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he I think it was Formula One was the

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:42.839
<v Speaker 4>group's name, And there was some beat I did at

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:48.440
<v Speaker 4>that studio, and you know, they liked it enough to

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:49.000
<v Speaker 4>pay for it.

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it was twenty five hundred dollars. I was like, oh,

0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm rich. I ain't never going back to doing that.

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:58.160

0:35:58.160 --> 0:35:59.719
<v Speaker 1>these on the CD.

0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:05.840
<v Speaker 4>That's left right, Yeah, slots in what we're doing. But yeah, no,

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.479
<v Speaker 4>that was like the first real you know what I'm saying.

0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:11.640

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 2>you blew it?

0:38:33.560 --> 0:38:36.880
<v Speaker 4>No? So I had gotten a car accident, and then

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:38.680
<v Speaker 4>after I got in a car accident, I was just

0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 4>kind of like, you know, trying to figure my shit out.

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.239

<v Speaker 4>unprecedented accident. I had enough money to pay my bills,

0:38:56.200 --> 0:39:02.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, stay afloat. So so yeah, that time like

0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:05.000
<v Speaker 4>I always like to say, sacrifice over security. It's easy

0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:06.800
<v Speaker 4>to go. I could have went and got a bucket

0:39:06.920 --> 0:39:10.520

0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:12.759
<v Speaker 4>if I just keep doing what I'm doing, and you know,

0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:50.799
<v Speaker 4>a real bond and friendship and relation.

0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:53.080
<v Speaker 3>What I mean when I say Southern hospitality, it's like

0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:57.759
<v Speaker 3>you find with guys like Tip, like the I mean,

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:00.279
<v Speaker 3>for some reason, that Southern bag is a limit when

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 3>they get millions of dollars, that ship stretched down there, like.

0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because they literally turned warehouses into clubs in the

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:13.520
<v Speaker 2>middle of they get a honey bun for every hosting.

0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:16.640
<v Speaker 2>And when they get it, they get it because and

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:19.879
<v Speaker 2>plus those all those states connected, they aren't connected. It's

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:25.440
<v Speaker 2>paper bag and one night you're in Mississippi, Georgia the

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:27.880
<v Speaker 2>real six figures every stop.

0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:32.440
<v Speaker 1>But he saw him saying, that's what I'm saying. That

0:42:32.800 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 1>saw the value.

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:36.640
<v Speaker 3>He immediately knew I got to pour into this kid

0:42:37.400 --> 0:42:39.080
<v Speaker 3>in order to get the most out of them for

0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 3>what we're trying.

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:40.600
<v Speaker 1>To do together.

0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:43.399
<v Speaker 2>And it's something I say to you all the time,

0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:49.479
<v Speaker 2>and you say, you say about going where you want it.

0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Reach.

0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:56.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it's I think it's something people people press. Facts,

0:42:56.600 --> 0:43:01.160
<v Speaker 2>people press at things that aren't for them, our situations

0:43:01.200 --> 0:43:05.320
<v Speaker 2>that aren't for them. Everybody isn't for everybody that's in

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:09.000
<v Speaker 2>in personal relationships, business relationships, romantic relate, whatever it is.

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:10.799
<v Speaker 1>People are like, no, no, I just need to be

0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>with her. She don't really like you.

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Dog right, read the room like she don't really like you.

0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:24.840
<v Speaker 1>And we got to look at business like that too. Facts.

0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:27.560
<v Speaker 2>It's some people that see the value in you and

0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:31.160
<v Speaker 2>they're just like, you know what, he could use that,

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:34.920
<v Speaker 2>she could use that. This is something that will help

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:39.879
<v Speaker 2>this thing grow because this is a talented young man

0:43:40.920 --> 0:43:42.799
<v Speaker 2>who he don't just want it just to.

0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Look at it. He gonna he's gonna do something with that. Facts.

0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:53.240
<v Speaker 1>So this's twelve thousand nothing, It don't mean nothing. Motivation

0:43:53.560 --> 0:43:54.600
<v Speaker 1>ale exactly.

0:43:54.719 --> 0:43:57.000
<v Speaker 2>And I just think that's something that's very important. When

0:43:57.040 --> 0:44:00.640
<v Speaker 2>you see somebody that that that you feel like you

0:44:00.680 --> 0:44:03.799
<v Speaker 2>should invest in, You should invest in them. And we've

0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 2>done it plenty of times, and sometimes it comes back

0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:08.840
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes it doesn't.

0:44:08.239 --> 0:44:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Right, but.

0:44:10.840 --> 0:44:13.319
<v Speaker 2>I felt like this needed to be invested in, and

0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:15.680
<v Speaker 2>hopefully for some of the people that don't even work

0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 2>with me anymore, hopefully I gave them a step up

0:44:19.760 --> 0:44:23.200
<v Speaker 2>exactly into what they're going to become. Always I always

0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:26.719
<v Speaker 2>tell people, man, just if it don't work out, just

<v Speaker 1>you You can't.

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:31.200
<v Speaker 2>You can't recall those records you never heard, you ain't

0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:32.200
<v Speaker 2>seen them, makeup or nothing.

0:45:32.360 --> 0:45:35.839
<v Speaker 3>So so here's what we share and learn the creativity

0:45:36.640 --> 0:45:41.160
<v Speaker 3>because I used Timberland as my foundation to learn how

0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:44.560
<v Speaker 3>to really produce. So I would on my nine tracks

0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:49.880
<v Speaker 3>on my PV DPM four remake Timberland Records, and I

0:45:49.920 --> 0:45:50.840
<v Speaker 3>didn't know those were samples.

0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know how you did those.

0:45:52.080 --> 0:45:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where any of that ship came from.

0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 3>But I would just try to make the sound sounds

0:45:57.680 --> 0:45:58.600
<v Speaker 3>something close to.

0:45:58.560 --> 0:45:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Whatever I had to do.

0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:02.400
<v Speaker 3>And so that's how I learned how to, in a

0:46:02.480 --> 0:46:06.719
<v Speaker 3>sense like sound make make samples within the music that

0:46:06.760 --> 0:46:09.560
<v Speaker 3>I make, right, because I didn't start off sampling. But

0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:11.880
<v Speaker 3>then when I got my PC, I was like, oh, ship,

0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:16.719
<v Speaker 3>been killing myself the whole.

0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Time, taking three hours to do, take fifteen minutes. I

0:46:20.800 --> 0:46:21.120
<v Speaker 1>bought it.

0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:23.880
<v Speaker 3>I bought a CD store going out of said, going

0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:26.680
<v Speaker 3>out of business, you had boxes of CDs.

0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:27.160
<v Speaker 2>It's just.

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:30.680
<v Speaker 1>It's right heaving.

0:46:30.760 --> 0:46:34.040
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that y'all could create that, yeah, is

0:46:34.239 --> 0:46:36.479
<v Speaker 2>also something that has helped y'all in your.

0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 4>And that's I think that's what you know that's again

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:42.920
<v Speaker 4>taking the stairs exactly. Yeah, but you just felt you

0:46:42.960 --> 0:46:45.880
<v Speaker 4>didn't know, like like again, we didn't have the insight.

0:46:45.920 --> 0:46:48.440
<v Speaker 4>We not Yo, we're in the studio making the beat.

0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:50.439
<v Speaker 4>You don't know how they created the beat. You don't

0:46:50.480 --> 0:46:52.759
<v Speaker 4>know they oh he sampled this and used this way.

0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:55.200
<v Speaker 1>You don't know that great feeling games was in there? Yeah,

0:46:55.360 --> 0:46:55.880
<v Speaker 1>no I did.

0:46:56.480 --> 0:46:59.920
<v Speaker 3>I didn't have I didn't have a call the call

0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:03.360
<v Speaker 3>guitar player, so I had to learn guitar voice sings

0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:05.280
<v Speaker 3>so that when I played my nylon.

0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:10.799
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, it sounded like you know.

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:17.520
<v Speaker 3>What I'm saying, like you have to all that. So again,

0:47:17.719 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 3>not taking the stairs, I mean we really, I mean

0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:25.320
<v Speaker 3>not taking the elevator, and we really took stare. Sometimes

0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:29.000
<v Speaker 3>a sand dune keep sliding down.

0:47:30.880 --> 0:47:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know that's whack. Well I'm try it again.

0:47:33.480 --> 0:47:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I would try it again.

0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:40.840
<v Speaker 4>I was crazy, man, But you essential you you Okay,

0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:42.840
<v Speaker 4>when do you get to become a DJ?

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Because what when do you get there?

0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Because now you have such an understanding of music, and

0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:53.080
<v Speaker 3>now you know how music flows and big becoming a

0:47:53.200 --> 0:47:56.240
<v Speaker 3>DJ now is is obviously or is it as easy

0:47:56.239 --> 0:48:00.759
<v Speaker 3>a transition as it is from coming from band, and

0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:01.480
<v Speaker 3>it was.

0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:02.879
<v Speaker 1>It was. Yeah, it was.

0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:10.080
<v Speaker 4>A lot more easier than what I thought. The real

0:48:10.480 --> 0:48:13.440
<v Speaker 4>thing that happened was I wanted to do it and

0:48:13.480 --> 0:48:15.680
<v Speaker 4>I didn't want to tell nobody because I don't like

0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:18.480
<v Speaker 4>doing shit unless I could do it as best as

0:48:18.520 --> 0:48:19.080
<v Speaker 4>I can do it.

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 1>So I practiced for like five years. Yeah. So I

0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:26.600
<v Speaker 1>bought a CDJ around.

0:48:26.239 --> 0:48:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Like maybe like twenty fourteen thirteen, something like that, and

0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 4>I just had it in my house and I fuck

0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:35.239
<v Speaker 4>around every now and again, not as not every day,

0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:36.960
<v Speaker 4>but you know, just every now and again.

0:48:37.320 --> 0:48:38.879
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't get the concept of it.

0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 4>I just knew that I wanted to have it either

0:48:42.120 --> 0:48:45.040
<v Speaker 4>as a sampling tool or to be able to incorporate

0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:47.080
<v Speaker 4>my music or something, you know. So I just had it.

0:48:47.120 --> 0:48:51.439
<v Speaker 4>So I was fucking around, and then I started doing

0:48:51.440 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 4>this thing on Sundays after church, which is funny, and

0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 4>I just start having like a gang of homegirls and

0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:03.520
<v Speaker 4>homies come through. We're just drinking, kicking and smoking, making

0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:06.000
<v Speaker 4>beats and all kinds of shit. And then like one

0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:07.520
<v Speaker 4>of those times, I'm like, let me just hook my

0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:07.920
<v Speaker 4>shit up.

0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:10.440
<v Speaker 1>So I hooked my shit up and just start fucking around.

0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:16.000
<v Speaker 4>But fast forward to like maybe three or four years

0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:20.680
<v Speaker 4>later on fire now, and I know how to I've

0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:22.640
<v Speaker 4>already like been like, oh, let me take some of

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:26.120
<v Speaker 4>my musical compositions and put it in the DJ shit

0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:29.480
<v Speaker 4>and scratch and like pitch it up and chop shit

0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:31.759
<v Speaker 4>up and use it in the beats. So I'm like

0:49:31.880 --> 0:49:33.520
<v Speaker 4>doing all kinds. I'm like, oh shit, I'm in a

0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:35.560
<v Speaker 4>studio by myself, like what I figured it out?

0:49:36.480 --> 0:49:38.440
<v Speaker 1>All that shit. I'm like, yeah, like fuck.

0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:42.000
<v Speaker 4>So then by that time, I'm like, well, shit, let

0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:46.719
<v Speaker 4>me just start fucking around with records. So now quarantine

0:49:47.400 --> 0:49:52.000
<v Speaker 4>has hit, and you know, niggas is like you know,

0:49:52.760 --> 0:49:56.240
<v Speaker 4>on Twitch. So I was on Twitch DJing and people

0:49:56.320 --> 0:49:57.680
<v Speaker 4>be like, oh man, I'll see you.

0:49:57.719 --> 0:49:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh thanks man, I needed that boom boom.

0:49:59.600 --> 0:50:01.440
<v Speaker 4>I get off Twitch and I got like, you know,

0:50:01.920 --> 0:50:04.239
<v Speaker 4>three hundred dollars on my cash up or you know

0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:04.760
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying.

0:50:04.840 --> 0:50:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Like the Twitch, I'm like, this is crazy.

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:08.719
<v Speaker 4>But now I'm looking at the twich and its like

0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:12.080
<v Speaker 4>you are lying for six hours, like six hours, God damn,

0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:13.600
<v Speaker 4>I back hurting the shit, you know what I'm saying.

0:50:13.640 --> 0:50:17.239
<v Speaker 4>But that's when I realized that I really fucking love

0:50:17.320 --> 0:50:25.759
<v Speaker 4>that shit. So like the informative and how can I say,

0:50:26.160 --> 0:50:28.400
<v Speaker 4>I like, try to try to get the most information

0:50:28.880 --> 0:50:31.680
<v Speaker 4>that I can, so I hit the best people.

0:50:31.760 --> 0:50:35.279
<v Speaker 1>I knew that DJ, so first I hit battle Cat.

0:50:35.560 --> 0:50:38.600
<v Speaker 4>Battle Cat came through, And once he came through and

0:50:38.640 --> 0:50:42.839
<v Speaker 4>showed me, it changed my whole shit. I was like, oh,

0:50:43.040 --> 0:50:47.640
<v Speaker 4>I can produce while I am DJing, and that just

0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:51.319
<v Speaker 4>changed my whole shit. So now I'm the drummer, I'm

0:50:51.320 --> 0:50:53.160
<v Speaker 4>the musician, I could be the keyboard player, I could

0:50:53.160 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 4>take the keys from this record, because now it's about

0:50:56.600 --> 0:50:58.960
<v Speaker 4>catalog and knowing as much music as possible.

0:50:59.239 --> 0:50:59.960

<v Speaker 4>crazy on this.

0:51:06.320 --> 0:51:07.360
<v Speaker 1>So you know what I'm saying.

0:51:07.400 --> 0:51:11.960
<v Speaker 4>Like, now you're dissecting it as musical instruments.

0:51:11.480 --> 0:51:13.480
<v Speaker 3>And you all to just the songs, and because you

0:51:13.600 --> 0:51:16.480
<v Speaker 3>used to you couldn't isolate back in the day, it's

0:51:16.520 --> 0:51:19.120
<v Speaker 3>now the isolation is great.

0:51:19.320 --> 0:51:22.840
<v Speaker 4>So oh my god. I was like, after I've learned that,

0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:09.160
<v Speaker 4>She was amazing? Or who is this person? Like they

0:54:09.200 --> 0:54:12.360
<v Speaker 4>came late and they asking for drinks and they're on

0:54:12.400 --> 0:54:16.440
<v Speaker 4>the outside smoking weed all that. So it's like you

0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:19.680
<v Speaker 4>get to experience, you know what I'm saying, like the

0:54:19.800 --> 0:54:20.439
<v Speaker 4>whole ship.

0:54:20.520 --> 0:54:21.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, and what comes with.

0:54:22.040 --> 0:54:25.880
<v Speaker 4>And given opportunity exactly. So it was like I'm not

0:54:25.920 --> 0:54:29.400
<v Speaker 4>fucking up your opportunity. You take on you and you

0:54:29.440 --> 0:54:31.239
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying, I'm not in San Diego. If

0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:33.080
<v Speaker 4>you don't show up, that's on you, you.

0:54:32.600 --> 0:54:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Know what I'm saying.

0:54:33.520 --> 0:54:35.719
<v Speaker 4>So I think it was dope because they gave me

0:54:35.760 --> 0:54:39.640
<v Speaker 4>a platform to be able to extend the opportunities are

0:54:39.640 --> 0:54:41.839
<v Speaker 4>already give you know what I'm saying. But it was,

0:54:42.080 --> 0:54:44.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, a fire thing to be able to DJ

0:54:45.080 --> 0:54:49.280
<v Speaker 4>and then still be able to transition. So when I

0:54:49.320 --> 0:54:52.239
<v Speaker 4>worked with Brody and he got his deal and I

0:54:52.280 --> 0:54:56.000
<v Speaker 4>started doing playing for him a musical director for him,

0:54:56.080 --> 0:54:59.040
<v Speaker 4>my setup is I'm his DJ, So have my DJ

0:54:59.160 --> 0:55:01.600
<v Speaker 4>set up my role and the keyboard.

0:55:01.840 --> 0:55:05.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's like I'm doing the Oh yeah, you know

0:55:05.000 --> 0:55:06.359
<v Speaker 1>what it's like.

0:55:06.440 --> 0:55:09.799
<v Speaker 4>So now it's a part of the experience, and you know,

0:55:09.880 --> 0:55:12.239
<v Speaker 4>me hearing things a certain way, I can execute it

0:55:12.239 --> 0:55:14.880
<v Speaker 4>opposed to just me being there just DJing, right, you

0:55:14.880 --> 0:55:16.400
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying and not playing so.

0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:20.120
<v Speaker 2>All because your daddy told you to go play the

0:55:20.360 --> 0:55:26.360
<v Speaker 2>organ while he's saying amazing. Probably for sure, that's what

0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:29.720
<v Speaker 2>it all comes back. As you're doing that. I'm watching

0:55:29.760 --> 0:55:34.600
<v Speaker 2>you as a little confused at first, and control of

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the church, you know what I mean, Like all of

0:55:38.040 --> 0:55:40.439
<v Speaker 2>these things, and that's we go back to it.

0:55:40.600 --> 0:55:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Stop skipping steps.

0:55:42.360 --> 0:55:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, These things will lead to other things, you know

0:55:46.160 --> 0:55:48.839
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. And and the more you put into it,

0:55:48.880 --> 0:55:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the more it gives back to you, sir, you know

0:55:51.440 --> 0:55:54.279
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. I appreciate this to my son, I mean,

0:55:54.440 --> 0:55:56.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, like me and him talk about it in

0:55:56.120 --> 0:55:57.719
<v Speaker 2>his life and the things that he wants to do.

0:55:57.800 --> 0:56:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, listen, just put the work in, but the

0:56:04.000 --> 0:56:08.239
<v Speaker 2>specific work. You know what I mean, Because there is

0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:12.320
<v Speaker 2>a thing called a hamster whill where you running place.

0:56:12.200 --> 0:56:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Facts I'm running, you know what I mean.

0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:21.920
<v Speaker 2>And there's a difference between an actual running a marathon

0:56:22.200 --> 0:56:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and getting somewhere or being on this hamster wheel and

0:56:25.400 --> 0:56:28.480
<v Speaker 2>going nowhere. Work can be put in, but if you

0:56:28.600 --> 0:56:32.960
<v Speaker 2>haven't identified Okay, I'm going to work at A B

0:56:33.120 --> 0:56:35.760
<v Speaker 2>and C. This is going to get me to this step.

0:56:35.800 --> 0:56:41.280
<v Speaker 2>This like life takes planning right right, even on accident.

0:56:42.280 --> 0:56:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Facts like life takes you gotta be prepared for when

0:56:46.280 --> 0:56:49.920
<v Speaker 2>that opportunity comes for you, so or you know, when

0:56:50.320 --> 0:56:54.040
<v Speaker 2>you have that chance to say, you know what, I'm

0:56:54.080 --> 0:56:57.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna call David Busters because I just like it. But

0:56:57.280 --> 0:57:01.440
<v Speaker 2>then going and actually delivering something right, because on the

0:57:01.480 --> 0:57:04.360
<v Speaker 2>other side of that, you are of value to this

0:57:04.480 --> 0:57:07.960
<v Speaker 2>place because now people are buying more little mini burgers.

0:57:07.800 --> 0:57:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Right, Niggas is shooting more hoops right.

0:57:11.480 --> 0:57:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Because they know that Mars, my guy, Mars has West

0:57:16.280 --> 0:57:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Coast Wednesdays and he's showing new talent. But then on

0:57:19.320 --> 0:57:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the flip side of that, you're giving them an opportunity.

0:57:22.440 --> 0:57:24.000
<v Speaker 1>So now you you're.

0:57:23.880 --> 0:57:28.959
<v Speaker 4>Everything, your reach is grown as you were introduced, fact.

0:57:30.080 --> 0:57:34.680
<v Speaker 1>As you were introduced love. You know, I appreciate that.

0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Man. I just think, you know, it's a lot of

0:57:37.600 --> 0:57:42.280
<v Speaker 4>people that have been before us that we've taken on

0:57:42.360 --> 0:57:48.360
<v Speaker 4>a lot of you know, great experiences, great memories, great

0:57:48.400 --> 0:57:51.640
<v Speaker 4>traits from these people, and also the bad experiences we've

0:57:51.680 --> 0:57:54.920
<v Speaker 4>been able to, you know, navigate to where we know

0:57:55.000 --> 0:57:57.720
<v Speaker 4>how to inform other people, whether you take it or not.

0:57:58.400 --> 0:58:00.760
<v Speaker 1>We could tell just hey, the stove I'm just letting

0:58:00.760 --> 0:58:02.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, the stove is hot. You know what I'm saying.

0:58:02.480 --> 0:58:05.240
<v Speaker 4>As long as I can do that, I don't feel,

0:58:05.640 --> 0:58:07.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, as bad. And as long as I can

0:58:07.480 --> 0:58:09.480
<v Speaker 4>give as much as I can give while I'm here,

0:58:10.080 --> 0:58:10.760
<v Speaker 4>then I'm good.

0:58:10.800 --> 0:58:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, I just want to die empty. That's it.

0:58:13.520 --> 0:58:16.240
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying. I want everything that I'm

0:58:16.280 --> 0:58:19.440
<v Speaker 4>trying to do to be done, you know what I'm saying.

0:58:19.520 --> 0:58:21.520
<v Speaker 4>Like that's that's the whole point. Like my son is

0:58:21.520 --> 0:58:27.680
<v Speaker 4>five years old, and you know, i'd say the people

0:58:27.720 --> 0:58:30.320
<v Speaker 4>that I used to talking to the most are not

0:58:30.440 --> 0:58:32.480
<v Speaker 4>here anymore, you know what I'm saying.

0:58:32.480 --> 0:58:33.800
<v Speaker 1>So like it.

0:58:34.120 --> 0:58:37.720
<v Speaker 4>Starts putting, it gives you more real perspective perspectives. You

0:58:37.760 --> 0:58:39.720
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying of like what you're doing with

0:58:39.760 --> 0:58:44.160
<v Speaker 4>your time, and I would rather not just you know,

0:58:44.240 --> 0:58:45.840
<v Speaker 4>come here and just be like yeah, man, you know,

0:58:46.160 --> 0:58:48.920
<v Speaker 4>thanks to me talk about all the shit and not

0:58:49.120 --> 0:58:53.400
<v Speaker 4>be able to give real information, real valuable information, and

0:58:53.800 --> 0:58:55.400
<v Speaker 4>you know as much as I can while I'm here,

0:58:55.440 --> 0:58:56.120
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying.

0:58:56.440 --> 0:58:59.080
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's like the main thing is just.

0:58:59.000 --> 0:59:01.200
<v Speaker 4>Like, yeah, I want I want to dj, I want

0:59:01.240 --> 0:59:03.320
<v Speaker 4>to sing, I want to write, I want to do

0:59:03.400 --> 0:59:05.240
<v Speaker 4>all the ship I know I can do. You know

0:59:05.280 --> 0:59:07.680
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying, especially if it's people out here that's doing.

0:59:07.480 --> 0:59:10.800
<v Speaker 1>It way more terribly.

0:59:10.640 --> 0:59:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Wan more terribly, you know, more terribly.

0:59:16.440 --> 0:59:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because you know that that is something where I

0:59:21.200 --> 0:59:23.440
<v Speaker 2>think for me and and you know, people were asking

0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:29.400
<v Speaker 2>me about singing again, right and now why again it's

0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:31.919
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean again? Well, you know, I take

0:59:32.400 --> 0:59:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I took I guess I could say I take I've

0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:39.280
<v Speaker 2>taken breaks, but I took a long break to focus

0:59:39.360 --> 0:59:41.920
<v Speaker 2>on another part of my career and things that I

0:59:41.960 --> 0:59:45.240
<v Speaker 2>wanted to develop as far as you know, just just

0:59:45.320 --> 0:59:48.720
<v Speaker 2>my mind and me being on the executive side, so

0:59:48.920 --> 0:59:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't focus on being an artist at that time

0:59:52.480 --> 0:59:54.840
<v Speaker 2>or doing songs, but not to the level I wanted

0:59:54.880 --> 0:59:58.320
<v Speaker 2>to do the mat so, but I think, you know,

0:59:58.400 --> 1:00:02.440
<v Speaker 2>once Chank truly convinced me to get back into that space.

1:00:03.240 --> 1:00:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the outlook I took on it was I'll

1:00:07.160 --> 1:00:10.680
<v Speaker 2>just create the music that I don't hear that I

1:00:10.720 --> 1:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>would like to hear, not even caring about whatever somebody

1:00:15.560 --> 1:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>else made or didn't make, and me feeling a way

1:00:17.840 --> 1:00:20.200
<v Speaker 2>about or having an opinion about whatever they were making.

1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I was just like, you know what, I would actually

1:00:21.960 --> 1:00:23.400
<v Speaker 2>like to hear this song, even if it was on

1:00:23.440 --> 1:00:28.720
<v Speaker 2>somebody else, So you know whatout singing fire, you know

1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:32.040
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? And that was a big part of

1:00:32.080 --> 1:00:36.520
<v Speaker 2>the motivation for me. It's like, okay, anything, you know

1:00:36.520 --> 1:00:39.120
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? Okay our podcast. A big part of

1:00:39.160 --> 1:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>our podcast is that we wanted to give something. We

1:00:41.760 --> 1:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be an alternative to certain things. I'm not

1:00:45.320 --> 1:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>going to complain about whatever other podcasts and what they

1:00:48.560 --> 1:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>say on their own, it doesn't matter to me, you

1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:54.360
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. I actually salute them for going

1:00:54.400 --> 1:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>and doing the work. But on the R and B

1:00:57.240 --> 1:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Money podcast, right cast is set a certain way. We're

1:01:01.600 --> 1:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>going to do a certain thing here. We're going we're

1:01:03.920 --> 1:01:06.320
<v Speaker 2>going to celebrate, we're going to give information, we're going

1:01:06.360 --> 1:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the journey, and we're going to talk

1:01:08.760 --> 1:01:13.520
<v Speaker 2>about the journey with people from different walks of life. Yes,

1:01:13.560 --> 1:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>it's called the R and B Money Podcast. As soon

1:01:16.440 --> 1:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>as you hear R and B, that's the first thing

1:01:17.840 --> 1:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking. But me and this man aren't.

1:01:19.680 --> 1:01:21.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm about to say, y'all, niggas ain't gonna not never

1:01:21.520 --> 1:01:28.080
<v Speaker 4>not be here right this is.

1:01:26.480 --> 1:01:26.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean?

1:01:27.000 --> 1:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>So for us, I can interview anybody off the street

1:01:30.240 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>if I want to, because we're gonna get back to

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:37.120
<v Speaker 2>the R and B within it. But it's just creating

1:01:37.200 --> 1:01:41.320
<v Speaker 2>things that we would like to see. And that's truly,

1:01:41.400 --> 1:01:44.400
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, what God gave us, absolutely the gift

1:01:44.480 --> 1:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>to do that.

1:01:45.080 --> 1:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely.

1:01:46.880 --> 1:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I don't like that, Okay. I think I came

1:01:50.440 --> 1:01:52.240
<v Speaker 2>up with an idea for the things I do like

1:01:52.840 --> 1:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>and maybe some more people will like it, you know

1:01:55.800 --> 1:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. And I think you've you've done really well.

1:01:59.560 --> 1:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's face And even because Tank Tank Tank kind

1:02:02.960 --> 1:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>of touched on.

1:02:03.400 --> 1:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>This earlier, as far as.

1:02:06.520 --> 1:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Your desography, take you down sounds nothing like stronger. Yeah,

1:02:11.640 --> 1:02:18.920
<v Speaker 2>are stronger sounds nothing like Compton Compton, Yeah are Compton sounds?

1:02:18.920 --> 1:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Nothing like what it feels like? Right, you know what

1:02:21.920 --> 1:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean?

1:02:22.360 --> 1:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Like those are energy, you know what I'm saying.

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>None of these records soundedlike So to me, what I

1:02:32.040 --> 1:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>believe is that these are just records you liked and

1:02:34.920 --> 1:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>something you wanted to hear, and now people have taken

1:02:38.880 --> 1:02:41.640
<v Speaker 2>to them for sure, and you've created a career off

1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>of it.

1:02:42.360 --> 1:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>How you weren't like you as you evolved. It's like

1:02:46.320 --> 1:02:52.720
<v Speaker 3>you evolved into so many things to where there's no box,

1:02:53.720 --> 1:02:57.120
<v Speaker 3>there's nothing that can hold you. So from a creative standpoint,

1:02:57.240 --> 1:03:00.720
<v Speaker 3>like you become, you become limitless. You can walk in

1:03:00.760 --> 1:03:02.240
<v Speaker 3>any room.

1:03:03.600 --> 1:03:06.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think there's I think there that comes

1:03:06.760 --> 1:03:08.880
<v Speaker 4>with the intention as well, you know what I'm saying,

1:03:08.880 --> 1:03:12.080
<v Speaker 4>because you know, I can intend on being the best

1:03:12.120 --> 1:03:16.320
<v Speaker 4>pop producer and just stay in that lane, you know

1:03:16.360 --> 1:03:21.720
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying. I think my thing was I've always

1:03:21.720 --> 1:03:25.760
<v Speaker 4>been about the music and the ego is the biggest ego.

1:03:25.600 --> 1:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Is the song for me.

1:03:27.840 --> 1:03:31.680
<v Speaker 4>So it's like if I'm walking into a room to

1:03:31.760 --> 1:03:34.800
<v Speaker 4>contribute something, I'm trying to do the best for the song.

1:03:35.560 --> 1:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not about it's not about your signature.

1:03:38.320 --> 1:03:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I never thought of like doing a tag

1:03:42.000 --> 1:03:44.440
<v Speaker 4>or none of that shit, because I want you to

1:03:44.520 --> 1:03:46.080
<v Speaker 4>like the music before you like me.

1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Like I want you or

1:03:48.720 --> 1:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>like me for the music. You know what I'm saying.

1:03:52.160 --> 1:03:56.200
<v Speaker 4>But that's what you're processing and getting first. Is the music,

1:03:56.280 --> 1:03:58.720
<v Speaker 4>getting an emotion, the education, all of the things we

1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:01.160
<v Speaker 4>were just talking about. You're getting all that with what

1:04:01.240 --> 1:04:04.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm putting into the music. So why would I take

1:04:04.960 --> 1:04:09.480
<v Speaker 4>that away by saying Mike got mars on the beat

1:04:10.040 --> 1:04:10.560
<v Speaker 4>and then.

1:04:13.400 --> 1:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Take you down? Is that the same?

1:04:18.160 --> 1:04:20.920
<v Speaker 4>Why you know what I'm saying, It's like it's taken

1:04:20.960 --> 1:04:22.960
<v Speaker 4>from me. It was taken away from the song. So

1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:26.080
<v Speaker 4>I never, like I said, I never even envisioned working

1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:29.360
<v Speaker 4>with artists. I just vision making music. Then I started

1:04:29.360 --> 1:04:31.240
<v Speaker 4>working with artists, It's like, Okay, how can I make

1:04:31.280 --> 1:04:33.760
<v Speaker 4>the best song? Not like how can I make the

1:04:33.760 --> 1:04:37.960
<v Speaker 4>world know it's me? My thing was I felt like

1:04:38.000 --> 1:04:39.000
<v Speaker 4>it was a compliment if.

1:04:38.880 --> 1:04:41.439
<v Speaker 1>You didn't know it was me. It's tailoring at all time,

1:04:41.680 --> 1:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Like I didn't want it

1:04:43.240 --> 1:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to high level. I didn't want no.

1:04:44.920 --> 1:04:48.400
<v Speaker 3>It's his suit you're making. You're making tailor mates exactly

1:04:48.840 --> 1:04:52.320
<v Speaker 3>for those particular artists, and nobody should be able to

1:04:52.360 --> 1:04:54.120
<v Speaker 3>wear that, and you shouldn't even be able to wear

1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:55.560
<v Speaker 3>exactly exactly.

1:04:55.760 --> 1:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>So on this path and you know, becoming a great producer, songwriter,

1:05:04.120 --> 1:05:05.480
<v Speaker 2>DJ artists.

1:05:06.120 --> 1:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Like, what do you see next for you?

1:05:11.360 --> 1:05:15.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm getting a little older, so now I'm more

1:05:15.320 --> 1:05:16.120
<v Speaker 4>so we.

1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Don't get all the music, bro, Yeah, we don't get

1:05:18.240 --> 1:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>all the music. We get old as performers, we get older.

1:05:23.120 --> 1:05:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Put on go put on a Marshmallow helmet man, and

<v Speaker 1>it from Marvin first.

1:15:47.400 --> 1:15:51.200
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, No, it was a peculiar individual because I

1:15:51.240 --> 1:15:55.759
<v Speaker 4>can't say they name, And it was a peculiar session

1:15:56.320 --> 1:15:59.840
<v Speaker 4>because the individual wanted me, wanted me to work with

1:16:00.040 --> 1:16:02.560
<v Speaker 4>somebody else, and the combo was crazy. So I was

1:16:02.640 --> 1:16:10.200
<v Speaker 4>in there working and we're doing a remix for a song.

1:16:10.760 --> 1:16:15.720
<v Speaker 4>And while we're doing the song, the person that I'm

1:16:15.760 --> 1:16:19.599
<v Speaker 4>working with, it's two producers, it's me and somebody else.

1:16:19.640 --> 1:16:22.360
<v Speaker 4>And the person I'm working with he like, you know,

1:16:22.360 --> 1:16:24.720
<v Speaker 4>it's programming the drums and stuff. So he programs the

1:16:24.760 --> 1:16:28.479
<v Speaker 4>eight O eights and I'm like, they not really like pitched,

1:16:28.600 --> 1:16:30.720
<v Speaker 4>like they're not really in key, you know what I'm saying, Like,

1:16:31.040 --> 1:16:33.360
<v Speaker 4>you should just have me do it on the you know,

1:16:33.520 --> 1:16:36.400
<v Speaker 4>on the keyboard and I can like make it like

1:16:36.479 --> 1:16:37.000
<v Speaker 4>an ad away.

1:16:37.760 --> 1:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>He's like, man, it's just this this sounds sound fire boom.

1:16:40.800 --> 1:16:45.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm all right, cool, excuse me. So the dude comes in,

1:16:46.240 --> 1:16:47.640
<v Speaker 4>he's like, yo, let me hear what y'all work on.

1:16:48.240 --> 1:16:53.240
<v Speaker 4>You played the song and he's like, you know, bob

1:16:53.400 --> 1:16:56.360
<v Speaker 4>into it. Then he turned the beat off and he's

1:16:56.400 --> 1:17:00.320
<v Speaker 4>like he turned the beat off. He's like, yeah, this

1:17:00.479 --> 1:17:03.160
<v Speaker 4>is fire. It's just like the ataways is just like

1:17:03.320 --> 1:17:08.680
<v Speaker 4>out of tune. I look at this nigga like, he

1:17:08.800 --> 1:17:11.600
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh man, he was like, I mean like

1:17:11.680 --> 1:17:13.720
<v Speaker 4>I like it. It's like hip hop. But he was like,

1:17:13.760 --> 1:17:17.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna just send it to my weight. Let me

1:17:17.280 --> 1:17:19.439
<v Speaker 4>think of the right word. He said, I'm gonna send

1:17:19.479 --> 1:17:25.120
<v Speaker 4>this to my aweight tuner. And I was like, and

1:17:25.240 --> 1:17:26.680
<v Speaker 4>this is mars. Back in the day, I was a

1:17:26.760 --> 1:17:32.080
<v Speaker 4>lot less filtered and not as slow to speak, I

1:17:32.160 --> 1:17:35.439
<v Speaker 4>mean not, you know. So He's like, you know, this

1:17:35.560 --> 1:17:38.920
<v Speaker 4>is a very expensive conversation, like these are elite people.

1:17:39.040 --> 1:17:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm just here and I'm like.

1:17:42.320 --> 1:17:47.280
<v Speaker 4>Yoh, why why you want to send it to you

1:17:47.840 --> 1:17:49.840
<v Speaker 4>tuner if you've got an awight tuner.

1:17:49.640 --> 1:17:51.479
<v Speaker 1>Right here hmm.

1:17:51.640 --> 1:17:56.040
<v Speaker 4>And he was like, well, if I have an aweight

1:17:56.080 --> 1:17:58.479
<v Speaker 4>tuner right here, why aren't the aweights tuned?

1:18:02.080 --> 1:18:04.320
<v Speaker 1>And I just wanted to be like, because you're an asshole,

1:18:04.360 --> 1:18:09.120
<v Speaker 1>but I and I was like, that was like the

1:18:09.320 --> 1:18:11.880
<v Speaker 1>end of me. Just I just melted. After that. I

1:18:12.000 --> 1:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, maybe I should not say ship to people.

1:18:15.240 --> 1:18:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I should say shit too.

1:18:17.040 --> 1:18:19.040
<v Speaker 4>It was the first time I like really got soun

1:18:19.320 --> 1:18:20.879
<v Speaker 4>like in front of everybody.

1:18:21.479 --> 1:18:24.479
<v Speaker 1>I didn't care, but the person said that the matter

1:18:24.520 --> 1:18:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of my song sung.

1:18:27.600 --> 1:18:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like so it's almost like you should have

1:18:30.840 --> 1:18:34.400
<v Speaker 3>caught that, which I did, which you did, but but

1:18:34.560 --> 1:18:36.360
<v Speaker 3>he's not acknowledging the producers, not.

1:18:38.200 --> 1:18:38.240
<v Speaker 2>You.

1:18:40.120 --> 1:18:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's sick.

1:18:43.439 --> 1:18:46.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, all right, just melted and just all right,

1:18:46.520 --> 1:18:48.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying this to you eight away to it right now,

1:18:48.640 --> 1:18:50.680
<v Speaker 4>almost track track up the.

1:18:50.760 --> 1:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Beats, like all right, cool.

1:18:54.000 --> 1:18:55.960
<v Speaker 4>Then from that moment on, I knew just you know,

1:18:58.120 --> 1:19:01.840
<v Speaker 4>if it's my session then and like say the things

1:19:01.920 --> 1:19:02.719
<v Speaker 4>that I'm thinking about.

1:19:02.760 --> 1:19:06.840
<v Speaker 1>But you know, if you're not, if not asking, you

1:19:06.920 --> 1:19:10.439
<v Speaker 1>got it, Champ, you better than me to.

1:19:13.479 --> 1:19:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what, we should tune this nigga up,

1:19:15.320 --> 1:19:23.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, but yeah, no where I'm from tuning, you know,

1:19:24.280 --> 1:19:24.760
<v Speaker 2>just for y'all.

1:19:25.439 --> 1:19:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Just you know, I showed what her this because that

1:19:28.280 --> 1:19:33.120
<v Speaker 3>was he's trashy and I've heard so many When you

1:19:33.240 --> 1:19:38.479
<v Speaker 3>said that, my skin started crawling because nothing irks me

1:19:38.720 --> 1:19:39.960
<v Speaker 3>more than an.

1:19:39.920 --> 1:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Out out of tune eight oh eight.

1:19:43.080 --> 1:19:45.760
<v Speaker 3>And there are hit records, yes with with out of

1:19:46.080 --> 1:19:49.120
<v Speaker 3>tune o eight And when I hear that ship in

1:19:49.160 --> 1:19:51.840
<v Speaker 3>the club, I was like, this, Jesus, But.

1:19:51.880 --> 1:19:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm also trying to figure out. I'm trying to figure

1:19:55.120 --> 1:19:57.600
<v Speaker 2>out what level. You gotta be on to have an

1:19:57.640 --> 1:20:02.559
<v Speaker 2>eight oh eight tuner. I haven't achieved that level yet.

1:20:03.320 --> 1:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>You got it. Got to be a part of my flock.

1:20:07.120 --> 1:20:11.720
<v Speaker 3>You gotta be the laziest. Listen, this is what this

1:20:11.880 --> 1:20:15.000
<v Speaker 3>is what an eight o eight tuna is equivalent to. Yeah,

1:20:15.040 --> 1:20:16.799
<v Speaker 3>he pulls the grapes off the stems.

1:20:19.880 --> 1:20:29.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the equivalent of an a grateful because that's just

1:20:29.320 --> 1:20:32.760
<v Speaker 1>like one we need him to.

1:20:33.520 --> 1:20:35.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, he pulls it for me and then I

1:20:35.400 --> 1:20:37.320
<v Speaker 3>eat it. You pause, you know what I'm saying, Like,

1:20:37.680 --> 1:20:41.559
<v Speaker 3>that's the equivalent. That's how ridiculous that is that it's

1:20:41.720 --> 1:20:44.320
<v Speaker 3>not tuned, because all you have to do is this

1:20:44.760 --> 1:20:44.920
<v Speaker 3>or that.

1:20:47.600 --> 1:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hey man, this is a business full of flaws.

1:20:51.960 --> 1:20:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure what he said it was.

1:20:56.400 --> 1:20:58.840
<v Speaker 4>And he was wearing taxedo just to add and so

1:20:59.120 --> 1:21:03.160
<v Speaker 4>to injury and the dummer. But the artist artist on

1:21:03.320 --> 1:21:07.479
<v Speaker 4>purpose or yes, did he have somewhere to go? He

1:21:07.720 --> 1:21:09.200
<v Speaker 4>just came back from somewhere.

1:21:09.439 --> 1:21:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Somewhere he had when he said that he had he had.

1:21:15.800 --> 1:21:18.560
<v Speaker 1>It on at the beginning of the session. Yeah, and

1:21:18.680 --> 1:21:21.360
<v Speaker 1>he left and he came back with the same taxi on.

1:21:21.479 --> 1:21:24.080
<v Speaker 1>He had to text it on all day. It was

1:21:24.160 --> 1:21:32.400
<v Speaker 1>his body. He had business, big business man. Business business

1:21:34.040 --> 1:21:37.920
<v Speaker 1>bothered me. So yeah, there's people getting paid to eight O.

1:21:37.960 --> 1:21:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Wait's out here, so you know, never know, listen, if
