00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Everybody path is different For me personally, I started like

73
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: really rocking with the brands during the pandemic. Right, so

74
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:49,640

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: I get signed November twenty nineteen. We in the studio

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: for four months straight. We released the first single, March

79
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: I Want to Say March eighth, twenty twenty. Pandemics started

80
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: three days later, and a fresh deal, A fresh deal,

81
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: Fresh deal. So that happens. I dropped another song called

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Birds in the Bando and things wasn't reacting because the

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: world was just in this crazy space where nobody knew

84
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: what was going on like that. So I just started

85
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: getting on Instagram. I started getting on Instagram and I

86
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: just started rapping bro like fa. I remember Fab had

87
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: a Cold Summer Challenge. I did that and just Little

88
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Baby had dropped We Paid, and that was one of

89
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: my favorite songs at the time. So I rapped on

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: that and Snoop reposted it man the next day while

91
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: and Gil was out here filming. They called me and

92
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: was like, pull up on us. We started rapping. They

93
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: posted the next day. So I just started getting a

94
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: lot of coverage for rapping, right. So when I started

95
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: noticing that, I'm like, man, maybe this is something I

96
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: could do during this time right now where things is

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: shut down.

98
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: So that's the innovation though, Yeah, and that's that Swiss

99
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: army knife. Yeah, because what if you were only a

100
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: record kind.

101
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: Of guy, I would have been stuck in that space.

102
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: And also look at look at what that does to

103
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: the labels business perspective. We just dumped some money into

104
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: this guy. Hit it didn't react. Hit it might not react. Yeah,

105
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: we gonna pull back at some point. Yeah, you know

106
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But you started to put more irons

107
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: in the.

108
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: Fire exactly exactly.

109
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: I kept going so through me moving around and wrap it,

110
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I need to go to a bigger

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: platform and rap than just Instagram. So I went to

112
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the La Leakers and that was the day they kind

113
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: of changed everything for me. When I dropped the La

114
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Leakers freestyle, Lebron posted it thirty minutes later, and I

115
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: think I had like one hundred thousand followers.

116
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: And have you ever asked Lebron how you got on

117
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 2: his radar? How you get on Draymond ray?

118
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 4: Though?

119
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 5: See this is what the young creators underust gotta they.

120
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: Don't know that.

121
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: Yo, you're not gonna get the Lebron Like.

122
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: I love that question because my guy right here, we

123
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: was just talking at lunch the other day and I

124
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 1: was like, Bro, I hate when I watched certain things

125
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: and everybody got the cliche ass question that doesn't explain

126
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: how things fully on the phone, you know what I mean.

127
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: So I love that. So I'm gonna break the whole

128
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: thing down. I guess signed Dallas my A and R.

129
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: That's from Atlantic Records, right, He's from Flint, Michigan. Draymond's

130
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: from Michigan. He has a friend named Blenning, right, and

131
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: they have a mutual friend. Blenning and Draymond always came

132
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: to the studio. So when Dallas first started putting me

133
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: in the lab every day, they just pulling up, Man,

134
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: they just pulling up. So I'm in there rapping and

135
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: were just having conversations, just kicking it, having conversation. And

136
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: that led to me going to games, you know what

137
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, seeing him at the games, being out seeing him,

138
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: meeting Rich Paul, you know what I mean, Different things

139
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: like that. So I never had met Bron yet. But

140
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: by the time that freestyle happened, Draymond had already sent

141
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: like four of my songs to Bron, like little Homie tough,

142
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: like I rock with Bro like this the homie check

143
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: him out, check him out, check him out. So when

144
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: the freestyle happened, Bron it kind of already knew about

145
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: me and was kind of rocking with me a little bit.

146
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: Reposted the freestyle Bro, and it was crazy.

147
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: It was crazy.

148
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: But see, I can relate to that too because I'm

149
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: in the game. But the young creators coming up, yeah,

150
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: they are being Lebron d m Yeah, check mout, family,

Speaker 2: check out.

152
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: That ain't the way that goes. That ain't the way

153
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: that I give you a quick story. I remember coming

154
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: up right. I'm not going to say the person's name

155
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: because I don't know if they're married or not at

156
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: the moment, and I don't want to ruin anything, But

157
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: there was a very important person at a streaming service

158
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: right when I before I got my deal. I'm talking

159
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: like twenty eighteen. I'm trying to figure out a way

160
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: to even get on the radar of getting a deal, right,

161
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's another thing like artists

162
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: like y'all gotta understand. It ain't that people not fucking

163
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: with y'all. Y'all just not on people's radar exactly. You

164
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like y'all could feel like, oh,

165
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: he hating on me, or he cock blocking or he

166
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: ignoring me, or he you fe me like he don't

167
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: want to see me win. It's like, bro, he might

168
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: be on a boat somewhere. You're not even crossing his timeline,

169
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

170
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 2: There's there's really when you get to a certain level,

171
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: and this is important, man, y'all gotta tap into this.

172
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: When you get to a certain level, not like one

173
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: of us, it's even hard to get to us, but

174
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 2: when you on a Lebron or bro qcp bro Wallo,

175
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: in of these kind of level, it's just no way

176
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: to get directly to It's no way You're gonna have

177
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 2: to be put on to them by someone in their circle.

178
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: So back to the story I was telling, right, I

179
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: was saying all that to say, here's how I got

180
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: on the radar before I even got a chance to

181
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: get a meeting to get a deal. It was a

182
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: very important person at a streaming service, and I kept

183
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: hearing everybody Records was breaking because this person was putting

184
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: them on a specific playlist right, And I'm like, man,

185
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: how can I get this person to hear my music?

186
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: Because I had a song at the time that was

187
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: real catchy and I felt like it fit that playlist right.

188
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: So I'm like, how could I get this person to

189
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: hear my music? So I went to his page and

190
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: I looked at who he followed, and I noticed he

191
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: followed a lot of women, right, So I started dming

192
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: the women he followed and was like, Yo, I give

193
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: you twenty dollars if you post my song on your story.

194
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 5: This is the game.

195
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: I give you forty dollars if you post my song

196
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: on your story. So he started then all the women

197
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: on his timeline posting the song. Two weeks later, the

198
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: song got added to the playlist exactly.

199
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: And this is the fucking innovation you gotta have when

200
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: you're coming from nothing. These are the stories of the

201
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: guys that had to crawl out the mud. These ain't

202
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: the guys that was lifted up. These are the stories

203
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: of the guys that had to crawl.

204
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: And shout out to those who have been lifted up.

205
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: Facts because it's hard climbing out the mud and sometimes

206
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: niggas need a hand, you know what I mean. Ain't

207
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with getting help, you know what I mean,

208
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: So shout out to the people that.

209
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 5: Is more outlift.

210
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: It is more often that you're not gonna get the

211
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: help into the help is just beneficial, mutually beneficial.

212
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 3: Sure.

213
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: And so even in that moment you're getting added on

214
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: that playlist, wasn't a mutually beneficial situation?

215
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 5: Sure?

216
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: Right, So when we talk about getting on people radars,

217
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: this has to be a situation where you they really

218
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: get nothing for fucking with you in that moment. But

219
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: you gotta be organically introduced because if he comes off

220
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 2: its Bro, I'll tell you what just happened to me.

221
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: I hire someone, and I'll keep the name out of here.

222
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: I hire someone because I don't reach out. I don't

223
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: know how to reach out for interviews. Like all my

224
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: interviews have came organically from baby anybody.

225
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: It's just been like, Bro, I fuck with what you do.

226
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 5: I'm coming to that.

227
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: And so now I'm in the business, I'm operating with

228
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: two or three deals and I'm this is a serious thing.

229
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: So now I need to kind of forecast it a

230
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: little bit different and be a little more diligent with it.

231
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: I hire a guy, sent him a list of people

232
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 2: I want to get on the show. You know, I

233
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: can get in touch with anybody in this game me

234
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: by myself, like one call.

235
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 5: And so I give him a few names. He reached

236
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: out to one and he hit me back.

237
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: I don't know how he reached out or what he

238
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: reached out, but he hit me back and he said, Yo, man,

239
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: they said they ain't doing doing the show.

240
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 5: They don't do podcasts.

241
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: I said, you sure they know it's me because listen

242
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: the person I sent them to.

243
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 5: Every time I.

244
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: See them, it is what it is. They stay reposting me,

245
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: they stay on comment. So something is off. And I'm

246
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: knowing this. I'm a street guy. I know this is

247
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: a slam dunk. This is this is a slam dunk

248
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: I'm sending you for. He comes back and said, many, Yeah.

249
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: I told him the name of the podcast. I said, okay, cool,

250
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: give me one second, yo, I need you to jump

251
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,480

252
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: you to sit nigga.

253
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: I'm on too.

254
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 5: I do it now.

255
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: I said, all right, cool, cool man, let's just lock

256
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: it in. I'm gonna put you on the phone with

257
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: I put him on the phone with the people that

258
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: I'm having, you know, schedules. I hear him back, Hey,

259
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: that's locked in. Same with people like sexy Rids. There's

260
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: certain people that I'm shooting.

261
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: Peer to peer.

262
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like that's literally a waste of money to me.

263
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I feel you, bro, And it's we were

264
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: just talking about it, like it's it's hard to find that,

265
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: but it's like, at the rate you're moving, you need

266
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: that because it's like you can't always be the person

267
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: that got to reach out to get the interview. You

268
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: got too much going on in life in general. So

269
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: it's like your job should be to pull up and

270
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: do what you do.

271
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 5: That's what I mean.

272
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: Everything needs to be setting place for that to happen. Now.

273
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: The problem with that is it takes time to find

274
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: the right people who's down to help you build that

275
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: out right. That's why I salute La Russell on his

276
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: team so much because it's like everybody's dedicated to a task.

277
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: The cameraman ain't coming around trying to be the rapper,

278
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. The producer ain't trying to

279
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: be an influencer. We solely locked in on this. This

280
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: is what we're doing. It's very hard to find that

281
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: in this industry because everybody got a dream. Everybody got

282
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: a dream, bro, what everybody got a dream? And some

283
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: people started off wanting to be a rapper. I didn't

284
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: hire cameraman, bro. That's then God around me spent the

285
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: week with me and literally put the camera down, went

286
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: home and start rapping because they've seen what was going

287
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: on and they're like, Okay, he's doing this, this, this, this, that,

288
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: and the third The part that they forgot was you

289
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: still ain't.

290
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 5: Me exactly, still ain't me I get.

291
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: You can get the saucest, you ain't got the recipe,

292
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like sometimes people

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: waste so much time and life chasing things that's not

294
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: for them, you know what I mean, trying to live

295
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: up to others expectations, and for me personally, I've learned

296
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: that like.

297
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: That shit's still your joy, it's still it stills.

298
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: The hard work away from what you've put into it,

299
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Just to compare yourself to

300
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: somebody else, it's like.

301
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: You know, I'm stuck in that though, man, like, because.

302
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, like number one, I'm so grateful

303
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: to escape, right, and so I take it so serious.

304
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: And I think the business in some sort is competitive.

305
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: If the number some of these numbers are, it's driven

306
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: by the competitive nature of this thing, you know, And

307
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: and so sometimes I'm stuck in that, Like I still

308
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: ain't celebrated nothing, Bro.

309
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 5: I done went through several I done.

310
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: Made a lot of money. You got to bro, I

311
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: celebrated one time. No, Bro, I used to do the

312
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: same thing. And what ends up happening is like you

313
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,200

Speaker 1: You gotta what I'm learning right on my journey because

323
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: I like to look at the industry as a skyscraper, right,

324
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: I like to look at it as a skyscraper. Niggas

325
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: like us, we didn't got past security and we on

326
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: the elevator. Fact it's a lot of niggas who ain't

327
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: got the address yet, you know what I mean. They

328
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: don't even know where the building is, you know what

329
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: i mean. We on the elevator on the way up.

330
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: So I like to say on my journey to let

331
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: people know I'm still climbing myself. So what I've learned

332
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: on my journey is you have to take time away

333
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: from you. I mean take time away for you for

334
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: sometimes you can't just like every day twenty four to seven,

335
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: just do this. You'll be disconnected. You'll drive yourself crazy.

336
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: You will miss things that's going on with your children,

337
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: things that's going on with your family, your friends, and

338
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: those things are who shape you into who you are

339
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: and mold your character to be able to go take

340
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: this thing on. So you can't forget those things. Like

341
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: I find myself at times when I'm stressing, I just

342
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: put to depend down and call my auntie and we

343
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: just talk about boxing for an hour, you know what

344
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Or I call my mama and we just

345
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: talk about shit, or call one of the homies. But

346
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: it's like you need that time to yourself sometimes just

347
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: to reflect and appreciate the work you've put.

348
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: In you know what I mean.

349
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, man, I be honest.

350
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: I'm completely disconnected from everybody, everything, the hood, the niggas,

351
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: because like now, I'm just I'm by my mouth, chiir,

352
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: I'm on this journey. I'm just I'm on the voyage.

353
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: I ain't looking back, I ain't look it's lonely, it's

354
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: extremely lonely. But it's profitable, it's very profitable. And so

355
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: for me, I'm sacrificing that right because the overarching goal. Right,

356
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: I got a thing where I look at my little

357
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: boys and I say, dog, I don't know what happened,

358
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: but some clicked in my brain say, oh, this is

359
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: it for them.

360
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 4: Me.

361
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: If I don't save them, they may not They may

362
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: not be saved. And I can't count on them to

363
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: have the thinking I got. That may not be another

364
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: person in my lineage with this thinking.

365
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 4: Ever.

366
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: So here's the opportunity now for me to shake all

367
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: this up and make sure we good moving forward. And

368
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: so I just don't sacrifice personally, I don't sacrifice.

369
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: I didn't been there, brought and lost.

370
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: I can show you a picture from a year and

371
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: a half ago with me and twenty two of my homies.

372
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: Going to a show. I probably talked to three of

373
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: them today. You know what I'm saying.

374
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: I didn't sacrifice so many relationships, so much family just

375
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: to get to this point. And then seeing what it's

376
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna take to get to the next level, you start

377
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: seeing like damn, like bru not ready, right, you know

378
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I gotta go here immediately, like

379
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: I gotta move in this window. You feel me and

380
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: I want to take you, but you're just not ready.

381
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: You're not and it's nothing I can do to prepare

382
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: you to get ready in this on because I've been

383
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: doing it, right, I didn't had you with me.

384
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 3: We then moved around the world.

385
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm teaching you what to do, you seeing other people

386
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: doing it, and you're still not ready. And that can

387
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: go vice versas in a relationship, right, you know what

388
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean. Some people relationships get ruined in this industry

389
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: because it's like the wife or the husband might not

390
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: be ready to what comes with that next level.

391
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 5: Yes, you know what I mean.

392
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 3: It's a lot in comedy.

393
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 2: Coming in Like I was, I had a situation, it

394
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: fell apart, Right, I'm not available in the same way,

395
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: not as patient. Probably I'm dealing with more. It's money involved.

396
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 2: I got people trying to steal my trade marks. I

397
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,119

Speaker 2: a fan of that I called the boy the brand

477
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,240

478
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,520

487
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: Like, I think content, man, and it's so important, right.

488
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: I think there's a stickiness that's involved with content. There's

489
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: a jail, right that brings your fans closer to your movement.

490
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 5: Not just your music.

491
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, because nowadays you have to be more than a rapper.

492
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 5: You have to be more than that to your fans. Sir,

493
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 5: when did you.

494
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: Notice that content and just being more available on socials

495
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: was important to your overall thing?

496
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 5: I know you spoke.

497
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: About honestly, bro, Like, I'm not even trying to sound

498
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: like one of them narcissistic people, you know what I mean,

499
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: that's ahead of himself or be feeling themselves.

500
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: But bruh, I seen where. I seen this in twenty ten.

501
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 4: Mm.

502
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: I've seen this in twenty ten, like just when cameras

503
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: started getting better on phones, you know what I mean.

504
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: You got to think we used to take a picture

505
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: on the phone and it was blurry. Once we started

506
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: getting them iPhone twos and threes and fours, it was

507
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh damn, you know what I mean.

508
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: Then we got FaceTime, and so they start getting to

509
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: the point where I'm just seeing like, oh, it's gonna

510
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: get to a point to where it's like everybody's gonna

511
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: be their own network, and everybody's gonna be their own CNN.

512
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: Everybody's going to be able to talk to the people

513
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: that relate to them. So I've always seen it from

514
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: a while ago. I would say I started taking it

515
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: like real serious, probably probably around the pandemic. Around the

516
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: pandemic was when I was like, but I was already

517
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: posting things and like doing things and being active, you

518
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and doing podcasts, me and Lewis

519
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: Belt had a podcast in twenty seventeen.

520
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. We were just talking about shit.

521
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: We didn't even have no idea on We just knew

522
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: this where life was going, and we was willing to fail.

523
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: So I was always trying things.

524
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: But twenty twenty was when I started figuring out my

525
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: audience and start cultivating content specifically for my audience.

526
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: Did you panic when those two What was your thoughts, feelings,

527
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: emotions when you had just signed that record deal them

528
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: two songs was not working?

529
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 5: What was the meetings like? What was the atmosphere with

530
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 5: the business?

531
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: Well, the good thing is I'm signed to a label

532
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: that's heavy into investing into the development process of artists.

533
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: So Atlantic is never the label that is going to

534
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: put two three songs out and expect it to be

535
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: a hit.

536
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: And if not, were done.

537
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 5: With you, you.

538
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: Know what I mean. So they they though I don't

539
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 3: know if you can say that for everybody.

540
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 5: Atlantic ain't as patient.

541
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: Again, I believe they've been Swiss army knife because you're

542
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: viewed as a Swiss art.

543
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: I've seen them be patient with other people, not with everybody,

544
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: though I can't speak for everybody.

545
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 3: I can only speak for you have been.

546
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: So one hundred percent of the people that you've seen,

547
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: they've been patient with.

548
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, this participation from what I've seen.

549
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 5: A man thundering.

550
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 3: This ain't me pandering or nothing.

551
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: I've seen him be patient with people that's literally went

552
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: to the top of the game, came back down and

553
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: went to the top again. I've seen him be patient

554
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: with somebody as far as a Berner boy for six

555
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: years before Afrobeats was even clicking like that.

556
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 5: I didn't even know he was over there for six.

557
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 3: They was there all the way up until last last.

558
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: But I think, and this is a good conversation, I

559
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: think Berner board represents a unique market though so ad

560
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: from a laser.

561
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: Something new that takes time to build out.

562
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 5: Yeah.

563
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: But but but just like you saw in twenty ten

564
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 2: that the phones was gonna affect the way the content

565
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 2: is going, they're forecasting as well, and so they understand

566
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: that that that worldwide market is developing even without their involvement.

567
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 5: No for sure, right, so burn a boy checks a.

568
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 2: Box for them, no matter if he's profitable in this

569
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: moment or not.

570
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: When we deal with rappers, they got a list of rap.

571
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: Niggas yeah, but it's also burn a boy's a risk

572
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: at the time that they signed.

573
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 5: It, depending on the investment.

574
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 2: What do you mean, I mean, how much of a

575
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: risk if they haven't got no real money tied into it.

576
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: But they put money into it to get it to

577
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: where it's not real. I'm not saying I'm talking about

578
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: saying the looting Grange package that that Kanye be talking about.

579
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: One about the loosen Grains. Yeah, but one of them,

580
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: one of them record label. You know what the package

581
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: is though in the label.

582
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: I know.

583
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 3: I know.

584
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: Here's what I say, because people be having that whole

585
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: package and button thing miscrew, right, the whole package conversation

586
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: is a lot of that shit really be coming up

587
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: to your internal team and what you and your internal

588
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: team will come up with, meaning like, okay, let's take

589
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: someone like a Travis Scott. He has a Cactus Jack,

590
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: which is a team right right, So I'm pretty sure

591
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: like when you see his color waves for his Jordans,

592
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: his team is him and his team is sitting down

593
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: coming up with these things and then they're going to

594
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: Nike or going to whoever and saying this is what

595
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: we want to do, and then Nike calls their people

596
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: and they help pour gas and lean on the fire

597
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: that they created, you know what I'm saying. So when

598
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: people say the packaging, it's not like a label just

599
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: comes in and gives you your identity.

600
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: Well they well, let's back up, because when we deal

601
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: with when we deal with that perspective, I think that's

602
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: more on the brand side.

603
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 5: So I think we are a little.

604
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: Bit more influential and powerful when it comes to brand

605
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: recognition and what our brain is going to look like. Right,

606
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: But we're talking about the back end. So what I'm

607
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: speaking about when they talk by pressing a button or

608
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: the package, labels have now bought up all.

609
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: Of the digital real estate.

610
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: Right, So when you deal with Apple Music on these

611
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: front pages, some of these playlists, some of these this

612
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: is digital real estate that has been purchased by the labels,

613
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: which means that you can only get on here by

614
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: way of the labels.

615
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 3: That's not necessarily true.

616
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: Well now not necessarily, but from a market you have

617
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: a point because labels are connected to these services and

618
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: they do.

619
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: They do have slots the same thing as radio, right,

620
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: but your music still gotta be good facts well, because

621
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: they can put you in that slot and people gonna

622
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 1: click that song, and if people don't rock with it,

623
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: that shit gonna start going like this until it makes

624
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: it out of the playlist in a week. So the

625
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: label could do everything we called Apple Music, you and

626
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: your team still gotta get in that motherfucker, so they

627
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: make something magic for it to stick up there.

628
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: So you don't think that there's a Drake song or

629
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: some of these bigger artists songs like a Gunner song

630
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: or somebody that's a bigger artist that may be in

631
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: a time where it's unfavorable for them, but they're still

632
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: keeping it number one, two, three because they are associated

633
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: with a big label.

634
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, regardless, the song is still good, whether that's

635
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: going on or not. Regardless Gunner, Drake, whoever, gotta be good,

636
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: the music was still good enough for whatever they had

637
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: to do to keep it there. It's been records. I

638
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: didn't watch four or five million dollars going to and

639
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: it ain't work. People did not like it. So you

640
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: can't pay people to like.

641
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 5: Something, right, That's a fact, you know what I mean.

642
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, they gotta like it.

643
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: But once you gunner enough people, right, so once your

644
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: brand becomes as big as a drake, and.

645
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: When you become as big as a drake, now we're

646
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: talking Coca cola. So now you have a you have

647
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: a product that you know why it works. So you

648
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: just consistently create that product and give it to your audience.

649
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 5: Try to tap into it.

650
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: Now you might you might expand and make a vanilla

651
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: coke or cherry coke, you know what I mean. Which

652
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: maybe when we see the boy Drake do a record

653
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: with bad money and he's speaking in Spanish, you know

654
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: what I mean, he might expand to get this market

655
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: a little bit.

656
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: But the core of what he do right.

657
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

658
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: You know what the core what he doing?

659
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 5: Right? Yeah? Yeah, that makes sense.

660
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 1: So it's like, regardless if they're gonna put money or not,

661
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: people still gotta like it.

662
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: So do you think that a playlist will give a

663
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: signed artist? So you don't believe there's favoritism? Do you

664
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: believe that's favoritism from a record labels one thousand?

665
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 5: Okay, so that's I think.

666
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So that speaks to there's different packages.

667
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: Okay, but let's go and know why there's favoritism. Because

668
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: some artists teams are hard to work with. I've went

669
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: through that at times where I've had a team that

670
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: was hard to work with quote.

671
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 5: Unquote, right now, what does that look like?

672
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 4: What? What meaning?

673
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: Were just not gonna meaning hard to work with?

674
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: Means like in the industry, sometimes we're not just gonna

675
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: take what y'all give.

676
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 5: Us, right, And that's fucked up? Did that mean that?

677
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 4: You know?

678
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 3: It's it's kind of like that.

679
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: But then you got people who are like that but

680
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: don't necessarily know what the fuck they even want, so

681
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: they'll just be an asshole to be an asshole but

682
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: can't even give you. You're creating problems with no suits.

683
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: You're talking, you know what I'm saying. So it's like

684
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: it gets tricky.

685
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 3: So on the label side, they might be like, all right,

686
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: you don't like what we said.

687
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 5: What you got right, they don't got.

688
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: Y'all come up with a better idea. It's like, if

689
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: you don't like the idea, won't you hire the people

690
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: and get your staff together, and y'all put the idea together,

691
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: and then y'all come to the label and say, hey,

692
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: this is what we want to do because we didn't

693
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: like that last idea.

694
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 5: Y'all came and they're standing on bissiness.

695
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: So it's it's some people that's teams that's hard to

696
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: work with. Some people. Some people don't appreciate what they're in. Meaning,

697
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 1: if I'm getting paid one hundred thousand for a show,

698
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: I bet not be late. Fuck, I better not show

699
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: up with fifty niggas smelling like marijuana and everybody drunk

700
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: and want to fight and sneaking guns in and they

701
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: just these people just paid you one hundred thousand dollars

702
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: to get up here for thirty minutes and wrap some songs.

703
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: I bet not come up in here late. So you

704
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: got people who go through that. You got people who

705
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: take big advances from labels, big advances from these festivals,

706
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: big advances from these brands, and go to jail in

707
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: two weeks, so you can't even fulfill your contract and

708
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: you know they ain't giving that back. You got people

709
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: who done got four five million for buyouts for their touring,

710
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: got killed, damn.

711
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

712
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: It's like, So it's sometimes things it's hard to work

713
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: with certain things, So people will say, hey, it's easier

714
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: to work with this person, so I'm gonna put more

715
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: of my energy into this person because I'm not going

716
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,479
Speaker 1: through what I'm going through with this person over here

717
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: that may be more talent.

718
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: Makes sense, I mean, but damn yeah, that makes sense.

719
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: Nobody wants conflict, especially constant conflict.

720
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Come on, especially people that went to school to do

721
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: a job. We're not talking about niggas that come from

722
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: environments like us.

723
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 5: We can squabble, yeah, we're talking.

724
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: About people that solely went to school to be an

725
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: an R or be a marketing person or whatever that

726
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: may be.

727
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 5: You squabbling and that about to beat and can't tell

728
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 5: them what produce.

729
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: Them more on the shop with Come on, come on,

730
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: you can't even give them a video concept and you're

731
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: mad at all the treatments they sent you, you know

732
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's it gets tricky, man. But

733
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: then there's a reverse side to that. Sometimes you'll have

734
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: the artist that's very active and his team is very active,

735
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: and they doing a lot, and they shooting their own

736
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: videos and making their own music, and they bringing it

737
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: to the label, and because the label wasn't involved with everything,

738
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: they may say, oh, we feel you need that one

739
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: more hit, or we feel this can be better, or

740
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: this one can be shot better, or we can do

741
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: this better or whatever, and then they work their way

742
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 1: into the process and sometimes they help it become better.

743
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: But they want to be that's what they're all being about.

744
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.

745
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: The main thing is like to make sure that we

746
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: get some points off of it, and to get points

747
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: off of it, you have to be involved in some way.

748
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: Or you I would say more than points.

749
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: I would say the main thing is at least give

750
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: us a chance to try to do our job.

751
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: Right.

752
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: Because if I have a publicist at a label and

753
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: then I go hire a publicist on my own right,

754
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: or if I have a marketing team at the label,

755
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: then I go high or my own marketing team. Essentially

756
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: my publishers and my marketing team is taking their job away.

757
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: So when these things are happening, they can't take the

758
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: credit for it, you know what I mean. So in

759
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: some form of fashion, they're saying, Okay, if you guys

760
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: got that, I might know somebody over here on this end,

761
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: let me help provide whatever this may be, right, you know.

762
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 4: What I mean.

763
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: So, and but that's another thing though, because people like

764
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: us know how to kind of.

765
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 5: Work a room and work the building.

766
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's that's a skill set to definitely building

767
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 2: to even know how to get next to the people

768
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 2: that handle me.

769
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: Definitely. I told you some people don't even know the address.

770
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: They don't even know that address business sign.

771
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 5: Some people that signed don't know how to.

772
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: Do because they came in with their homeboy that should

773
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: have left they ass in the car. So now you

774
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: in here loss with a whole bunch of opportunity in

775
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: front of you and don't know what to do with it.

776
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: Should have stayed your ass in the car. So now

777
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: your homidn went up and now you mad at him?

778
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 5: You deal with that? Do you deal with that?

779
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 3: Nigga? What my whole twenty twenty three.

780
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: Was that.

781
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 3: Lost three of the closest people to.

782
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: Me, not by death, by envy, damn and miscommunication. The

783
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: motherfucker's not being men literally bro going through it. And

784
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: it's nothing you could do for him. Because you could

785
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: buy a motherfucker house. They gonna say, he ain't get

786
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: the furniture. You could buy him a car. They gonna

787
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: say he ain't feel the tank up because you know why,

788
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:42,959
Speaker 1: it ain't the car of the house.

789
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 3: They won't. They want your life.

790
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 5: They want your whole position.

791
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: They want your position, and it's nothing you could do

792
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: about that. It's nothing they can do about that. So

793
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: the only thing to do is they in peace.

794
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: But but you know, how do you keep yourself from

795
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: engaging with that? Because what we come from it hurts

796
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: so bad. It ignites a reaction.

797
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: You learn as you go.

798
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: So it's like, I mean, new people every day that

799
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: I see traits of my old friends in which teaches

800
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: me how to treat them. So now I know, okay,

801
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: you remind me of such and such. I'm not gonna

802
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: get too close to you. Right, We're gonna be party buddies. Right,

803
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna be watching sports buddies, because if we start

804
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: doing business now, I gotta hold you accountable as my

805
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: business partner, which is gonna fuck up us watching sports together.

806
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: So let's just keep it at that, right, we don't

807
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: even need to get no money together.

808
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 3: Let's just be homies.

809
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: Because the minute we start getting some money together and

810
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: my cars start looking a little better than yours because

811
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: I didn't ran another play that you ain't think about

812
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: with minds, we're gonna start having some issues.

813
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: So you know what, let's just watch the game together, bro, that's.

814
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 2: But you know, I think what you're describing is is

815
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 2: important because you're still able to separate these things. Yeah,

816
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: you know, that's a that's a skill set as well,

817
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: because on this journey you can get so locked in

818
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: that you blur all this shit. No real, you know

819
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. All this shit is together. I do

820
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: business with my friends. These are the niggas I watch

821
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 2: sports with.

822
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 5: These are the niggas. You know what I'm saying. This becomes.

823
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: But you got to learn that. You don't know that

824
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: until you know that. I didn't just know this. Twenty

825
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: twenty three taught me what I'm telling you right now.

826
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 5: But clearly I know it.

827
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 2: But it's just that I think that the young people

828
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 2: watching need to understand.

829
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 3: Sure, you know what I'm saying.

830
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 2: They have to understand how we even get here, right

831
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 2: because even with me, I'm dealing with a thing where

832
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: I don't want people to think I'm using them, you

833
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.

834
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. It's okay to use.

835
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 5: People I know, and that's what people telling me.

836
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 3: It's just not okay to misuse.

837
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: You've been misused, yeah, and so y'all, and so for

838
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: that for that.

839
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 5: It's making me be like, as I'm on this journey.

840
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: You don't want to do to nobody what's done y'a man.

841
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 2: Nobody feeling like like little baby and these niggas that

842
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: doesn't really poured into.

00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 2: wait be on my conscience to be like, hey, yo, man,

847
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: my life. I come out to darkness, my nigga. So

848
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's something. It's something that's weighing on me.

849
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know. I gotta shake it though.

850
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

851
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: It comes with growth, bro, you growing out of who

852
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: you used to be. Motherfuckers in our environments always tell

853
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: us stay the same, don't never change, stay the same.

854
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: That's because they want you sitting right there with them.

855
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: They old goddamn life. Some people is comfortable with knowing

856
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: they can possibly go to the next level. They don't

857
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: even want to attempt it. They comfortable with just knowing

858
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: I could rapt right, but they don't want to go

859
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: and if I'm met it, see I'm better than it.

860
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: But they don't want to work and prove it.

861
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 5: Come show me.

862
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,920

863
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So we can't fault them.

864
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: We just gotta get away from you know what I mean,

865
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: and understand and find people that's on the journey with you.

866
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,440

Speaker 1: that can contribute to what you got going on.

868
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 3: And that shit, it's some of the hardest.

869
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:36,560

Speaker 2: And I just was telling you about the story with

910
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 2: Wallo up in Philly with my camera guy, and it's

911
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: like when they can peep something, It's like, Bro, they

912
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,080

915
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,879

00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 2: you want of the realist niggas out, and you ain't

917
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 2: earnt none of that. They done gave you that. That's

918
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: another reason why I don't have a lot of people around,

919
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: because so much come with being next to me.

920
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 5: I'm talking about in the ghetto, man, nigga.

00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: talking about these go far being under me.

923
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 5: Niggas.

00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 2: To take this name right here'll my nigga be all

925
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: in the ghetto doing shit, owing niggas money in it,

926
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 2: be a you know, running a monk.

927
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 5: So it's so important to preserve this shit, you know.

928
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: And that's that's another dipist be like man, it's so

929
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: it's rough man this shit gets so fucking rough on me.

930
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 3: It's hard, bro, this shit gets rough.

931
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: It's tough, and it's it's fucked up because and I

932
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 1: always say this people probably heard me say this before,

933
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: but it's like when you dream, you dream with certain

934
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: people in mind, Like you see your friends there, like

935
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: you see the house you want for your mom and

936
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: all these things, and then when you start seeing, oh,

937
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: it's not gonna go that way with certain people, it's

938
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: the most hurtful thing, especially when it's about nothing but

939
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: envy or jealousy.

940
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 5: So what what I mean?

941
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:48,320

943
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 5: Do they think you have what you don't have?

944
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: Not only that that was a problem in the beginning.

945
00:45:58,200 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: I used to deal with that a lot of like

946
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: people thinking I got way more money than I actually had.

947
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 3: I used to deal with that a lot. Yes, what

948
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 3: it is.

949
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: Well, now I'm kind of cool because I didn't eliminated

950
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: a lot of that shit out of my life. And

951
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 1: I don't even like entertain it no more. Like even

952
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,759

953
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,920

954
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, so it is what it is. Yeah,

955
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: So I think what it is is expectations. I think

956
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: people have these hitting expectations in their mind of what

957
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: they thought you were going to do for them, or

958
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: what they wanted you to do for them.

959
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 3: And when you didn't do what they.

960
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: Wanted you to do, and you put them in a

961
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: position to work for what you for what they wanted,

Speaker 1: see your homies five years later in the same place

1032
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: y'all started at, You know what I mean, The whole

1033
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: reason we started this thing was for everybody to get

1034
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: some money, everybody to be successful in us, to have

1035
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: something to do outside of doing shit that's illegal, you

1036
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

1037
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 3: This is what we was doing.

1038
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: So if you fall under that role, and you fall

1039
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: under that role, right, and you want to do this

1040
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: and you want to do that, why not put that

1041
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: same energy into doing that as you put into going

1042
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: to kill a nigga, Right as you put into going

1043
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: to rob a nigga. Are you put them going to

1044
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: get on to take a trick? That's the same energy

1045
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: gonna bring you that same amount of money, if not more, right,

1046
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: But because it's unfamiliar for you and you insecure about

1047
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: moving around in it, because it's new, you run away

1048
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: from it. Are you gonna lean on the homie to

1049
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: teach you everything when he's still learning? So it be

1050
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: feeling like sometimes, Bro is black men, we don't even

1051
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: get enough time to dream.

1052
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 2: Sometimes though, being that nigga paralyzes you because when not

1053
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 2: only do you become everybody else's trampo lean, it also can.

1054
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 5: Paralyze you in a way where you don't want to.

1055
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 2: Move out of that familiar spot because I'm that nigga

1056
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: right here. When I get over there and I start

1057
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 2: rapping ken, now, I gotta fall up under the nigga

1058
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,319

1059
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 2: the penitentiary like I did. You see what I'm saying,

1060
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 2: And so it becomes an ego thing. And only because

1061
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 2: you made it to that nigga, is you have that

1062
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 2: viewpoint because I come in the game like this, set

Speaker 5: That's how.

00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: And even when I got my first deal, I tried

1096
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: to give him what he gave me back.

1097
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: He said, bro get right first. I got faith in you.

1098
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,040

Speaker 5: That that ain't picking up the money and shit.

1145
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:31,719

00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 5: Man, what's your thoughts on it? What's your take on that? Man?

1147
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 3: I'm kind of up and down with it. I feel like.

1148
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, TikTok started off as musically,

1149
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: it was an app called musically, and from what I

1150
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: was told, and anybody in the comments, y'all can correct

1151
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, because this is some information I

1152
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: was told. I was told that when TikTok I get

1153
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: their initial deal, their licensing deals to get music on

1154
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: the platform, they only spent ten million dollars, all right,

1155
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: So they was able to use all of that music

1156
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: for ten million bucks. From what I was told, right,

1157
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: that's a low number. It's a low number when you

1158
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: start pulling in billions. So now their labels is like, hey,

1159
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, we let you all do

1160
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: that for ten Like, let's work something out where we

1161
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: all could you know what I mean, benefit off this.

1162
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 3: TikTok is the label telling you that. No, this is

1163
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 3: my observation.

1164
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: But people I've talked to outside of the label, right,

1165
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: people in the tech world, different.

1166
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 2: Rights, right, right, So so when you deal with I

1167
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 2: just have a hard time believing the label won't have

1168
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 2: them amend that at some point, and I think they

1169
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 2: have amended it several times.

1170
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 3: To tell you.

1171
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: The problem, it's what I was about to get to,

1172
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: the problem is when they've the platform has used music

1173
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: so long. Now you got everybody on the platform. So

1174
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: TikTok is like we got the creators. Y'all can have

1175
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: the music because the creators will create new music on

1176
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: this platform.

1177
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 5: Right, But here's the labels.

1178
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 2: So I want to be what I believe this happened

1179
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 2: that there is the labels are having a conversation about TikTok.

1180
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 3: I don't even think it's the labels.

1181
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: I think the government, right, But I'm saying just from

1182
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 2: a music standpoint, the government too. We're gonna get to that,

1183
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 2: but from a music standpoint. Inside those buildings, there's a

1184
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 2: conversation about the app TikTok because it became a discovery

1185
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: platform for music. Like you're saying, like a lot of

1186
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 2: people got their motion from TikTok's lit their singles up.

1187
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 3: But music ain't the only thing that TikTok discovery.

1188
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 2: Right, But from a label stand right now, but we're

1189
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 2: gonna talk about it generally, but right I'm trying to

1190
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 2: deal with the label perspective.

1191
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,959
Speaker 5: And the reason being is because when the music.

1192
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 2: Was pulled off of TikTok, you saw the narratives from

1193
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 2: both sides approached the social media platforms, which was the

1194
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 2: label saying, yo, they don't want to up the annie

1195
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 2: and pay us what we feel it's worth, and TikTok

1196
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 2: is saying they just robbed the creators. We're sending them

1197
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 2: money for this shit every single month. So the narratives

1198
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: took place. I'm wondering what rappers are feeling about that

1199
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 2: ecosystem of TikTok. Have you ever felt a spike in

1200
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 2: your business because of TikTok?

1201
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: Me, personally, no, because I never was big on TikTok.

1202
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: I never like fully got into TikTok, like I tried

1203
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: to do it for like ninety.

1204
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 3: Days, and it just it wouldn't work. It just wouldn't.

1205
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't my I don't know, I just didn't connect

1206
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: to the platform right. Instagram is where a lot of

1207
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: my audience lives, and a lot of my audience is older.

1208
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of older people on TikTok, but a

1209
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: lot of them are able to find me easier on Instagram.

1210
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: So I've always been on Instagram. So for me, I

1211
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: haven't felt anything from it, you know what I mean.

1212
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure for content creators and independent artists

1213
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: who make a lot of money off their music on TikTok,

1214
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure.

1215
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 2: Dann just it'll get it acts as a as a highway.

1216
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 2: People discover fifteen seconds of a song on TikTok. Next

1217
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 2: thing you know, it's clamming the apple to sure you see.

1218
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 2: And so this is affecting the ecosystem. And the reason

1219
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 2: I know that the labels are having conversation about it

1220
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 2: is because what Caller Ray said. She came out and

1221
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 2: tweeted that, and I don't want to quote it, but

1222
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 2: whatever the quote is, I'm having on the screen.

1223
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 5: But it sounded like label jargon.

1224
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 2: It was something to the effect of and for me,

1225
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 2: for her, it is she's gonna feel TikTok missing because

1226
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 2: every single one of her songs that did what it did,

1227
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 2: it was by way TikTok. It went crazy every time.

1228
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: But here's the thing with somebody like her, and you're

1229
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: hundred percent correct if we're talking about someone who solely

1230
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: was only focusing on that platform. Coy is and like movies,

1231
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: now you know what I mean commercial music, though yes

1232
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: it might not have her music, but she's so big

1233
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: of a star that is like she can do other

1234
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: things and find other ways to help the music, but she.

1235
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,439
Speaker 5: Has to connect. You can't.

1236
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 2: You can't because earlier you said the music has to connect.

1237
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying she can find other ways to promote

1238
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: the music. Meaning if she's in a movie, she might

1239
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: be doing the whole soundtrack of that movie and they

1240
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: might attached the marketing with that.

1241
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

1242
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 2: That that organic dance she would do on TikTok, she

1243
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 2: would come up with a.

1244
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 3: Little she might take it on snapchat.

1245
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 2: Now, right, but that audience is on TikTok. She built

1246
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 2: it on tick.

1247
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: But when you're that big, sometimes you can move your

1248
01:00:58,880 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: audience with you.

1249
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 5: And it's hard to move hard.

1250
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 3: It's hard hard, and nobody saying it's gonna be easy.

1251
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: But when I'm just body or that caliber, you can

1252
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of move your audience to different platforms.

1253
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:16,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm just wondering, you know, the conversation from

1254
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 2: a business standpoint, because I'm one hundred percent sure that

1255
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 2: that has to be mentioned in a meeting somewhere, especially

1256
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 2: for artists like her in particular, because again, every single

1257
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 2: one of them songs did something on TikTok that it

1258
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 2: just wouldn't have been discovered on these other platforms in

1259
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 2: the same fast. For sure, they dance, they they create

1260
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 2: on TikTok in a totally different way for sure. You know,

1261
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 2: rap still has a traditional feel on Instagram as well

1262
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 2: as TikTok, but there's a new thing with TikTok creation.

1263
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Something's happening, you know what I'm saying, not even high production.

1264
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 2: We're talking phone up, put it back now?

1265
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 4: Do you know? One? Two?

1266
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 5: Like this here? You know what I'm saying, and it's gonna.

1267
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 3: Talk is Oh.

1268
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: It felt like Instagram became the I think I'm cool crowd,

1269
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: and TikTok became that we don't give it for the

1270
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:10,919
Speaker 1: doing what.

1271
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 3: We want to do. Like they really the cool ones, right,

1272
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

1273
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Like they really doing what they want to do from

1274
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: where they Resa Tisa, you know what I'm saying, Like

1275
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: she just got a whole deal bro from sitting in

1276
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: the car talking about a nigga blying to her.

1277
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:27,439
Speaker 5: Do you believe that?

1278
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't know because I know men that's ben't done that.

1279
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 5: But how you remember it's.

1280
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: The details and just so much to it is just

1281
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: what's kind of like, damn it exaggerated? What But I

1282
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: believe the majority of hell of detail though I believe

1283
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: majority of it, Though I.

1284
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 5: Believe it too, though I believe I believe that dude

1285
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 5: is is.

1286
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like things like things like that are

1287
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: happening now to the point where I seen that three

1288
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago.

1289
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Yesterday, I'm on Hulu. She's on Hulu now.

1290
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Nah, she bid you know what I mean, to

1291
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 2: move her audience to another platform. Guess why TikTok they

1292
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 2: she got a hundred million views. She waiting on their

1293
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 2: check to come. They hit demonetized. Sure they kept the money.

1294
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:22,919
Speaker 3: They just did it be Soldier boy.

1295
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 2: See, people need to understand. Damn, people need to understand.

1296
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 2: Demonetized don't mean ain't no money being made. It means

1297
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 2: that you ain't.

1298
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 3: Ain't making the money. They keeping all of them.

1299
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still money flowing for this content, but you

1300
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 2: ain't made it because what I'm doing is I'm whooping you.

1301
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 2: I'm saying, don't make this kind of content, even though

1302
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep this little money that we done made

1303
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,439
Speaker 2: out fats, But don't don't don't do this kind of thing.

1304
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 2: You said they just did it for Soldier.

1305
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: Well, how much Ojia Boy was on a live I

1306
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: think he ran up like thirty five thousand and like

1307
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: a few hours like an hour or something, and they

1308
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: they cut it.

1309
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, they cut it.

1310
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Like literally like, oh, they can't regulate it, man, they're

1311
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: gonna find something wrong with.

1312
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 5: It now from a government.

1313
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 2: From from a government standpoint of TikTok, it's really a

1314
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 2: Chinese own company and they have they have a situation

1315
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 2: with the with the federal government where they're trying to

1316
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 2: ban it. Like you say, it's a discovery platform. I've

1317
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 2: learned things about things I didn't know on T two

1318
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 2: like that.

1319
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:25,919
Speaker 5: I don't.

1320
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 2: It just doesn't happen on these other platforms the same.

1321
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: And this is what people don't understand. Although they ran

1322
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 2: by China, they're they're literally whooping everybody's ass as it

1323
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 2: comes as it pertains to just algorithm and just the

1324
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 2: whole on beyond, they're whooping ass.

1325
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 3: For sure, they're more creative. The platform is more creative.

1326
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: Sure, since as far as the government side, I don't

1327
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: really know too much on what the government's issue is.

1328
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 3: I just noticed the issue.

1329
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 2: The issue is that they're swaying opinions. So what what

1330
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 2: they feel like is again the discovery part of it.

1331
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 2: They reckonze how big of a discovery site this has become.

1332
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 2: And so what happens is say that they want to

1333
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 2: shift the narrative for this upcoming election. They start letting

1334
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 2: being seen things that's making you go away from you

1335
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 2: the government and really go towards hating the government. And

1336
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 2: it's creeping in algorithm some kind of way, you know

1337
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So that's what they're really concerned with,

1338
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 2: the ability to sway opinions. And it comes from the

1339
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 2: Chinese government, which now we're dealing with world politics and

1340
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,439
Speaker 2: people want to run the world. And so if they're

1341
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 2: saying Chinese in one hundred years of looking to run

1342
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 2: the world, we're giving them my kids with TikTok, and

1343
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 2: you're telling me that at any moment they can hit

1344
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 2: buttons and kind of sway away.

1345
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 5: Our kids are seeing the way we.

1346
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 2: Interact with the rules, the way we interact with our government,

1347
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 2: who's our president, the whole structure. So that's the issue,

1348
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 2: and they're living there now. A lot of companies in

1349
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 2: America are putting in bids to try to say, hey,

1350
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 2: we'll buy ticks Talk or we'll own part of it

1351
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 2: and store the data on American soil. So of course

1352
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 2: we're still collecting data in the same way, but Chinese

1353
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 2: don't have access to it. Here's the data that're collecting

1354
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 2: right now. In the terms and service agreement of TikTok.

1355
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 2: They're doing facial recognition. There's no nothing you can really

1356
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 2: do with facial recognition on TikTok. But these are things

1357
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 2: they're putting.

1358
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 5: In that back pocket. And there's a governmental standpoint.

1359
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 2: You sent down it don't mean nothing now, but in

1360
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 2: forty years, what does that mean?

1361
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 5: And they got all our.

1362
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 2: Children data exactly, and so they fight. That's what the

1363
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: governmental standpoint of you know of it is. And so

1364
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 2: they're fighting with that in the Chinese government saying we

1365
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 2: ain't bothering it, we ain't doing nothing to it, We're

1366
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 2: trying to help people make money.

1367
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 5: We ain't gonna do that.

1368
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 2: And so what you also have to understand is that

1369
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 2: every company in China is.

1370
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 5: Withholded to the.

1371
01:06:56,240 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 2: Chinese government, even though you operate under your own business,

1372
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 2: if they step in, you must do what they say do.

1373
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 5: And that's another problem.

1374
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 2: So not only is TikTok owned by Badinance, which is

1375
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 2: a Chinese company, a Chinese company is they have to

1376
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 2: do what the Chinese government say. They have no dog

1377
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 2: in the fight you have, you can't say no, and

1378
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 2: so the US just had some concern with that.

1379
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 5: That's a problem, makes sense?

1380
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 3: What sense?

1381
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 5: What you think about this ditty situation?

1382
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 4: Man?

1383
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 5: What's your thoughts on that?

1384
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 3: Man?

1385
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: It's it's tricky for me. Man, I personally know Puff

1386
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: and I've worked with Puff.

1576
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,280

1577
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 1: something because you didn't done business or done a song

1578

1580
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,080

1581
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 2: do you think they owe him that?

1582
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:23,160

1583
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying, my experience is my experience. It may be

1584
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: somebody who worked for that nigga who experienced a traumatic thing,

1585
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,639

01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,280
