Um. I was talking to my old lady 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 1: today and death is just such a It's just such 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: an interesting thing, right, And I don't mean interesting to 32 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: see people got interesting wrong. Number one. People think when 33 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: you say interesting, you want to indulge, right, And I 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: want to you know, I want to reject for the 35 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: for the for the for the universal purposes, right. I 36 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: want to reject any harm or things like that to 37 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: come my way. But when you think about death and 38 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: you think about it happening, I think that death is 39 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: a part of life. So a lot of people are 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: in a position to know that it's gonna take place 41 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: at some point. The problem is a lot of people 42 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: are dealing with unexpected death, and that's a different fight. Right. 43 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: The idea that you will kiss your old lady or 44 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: talk to your own your homeboy, or your brother or 45 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: your cousin or your sister, or your or your boyfriend 46 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: or whoever it is that you may be involved with, 47 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: the idea that you would talked to them one minute, 48 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: make plans for the next day or the next hour, 49 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: and then the next thing, you know, you receive a 50 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: phone call. I just know how that shatters. You know 51 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: that shatters? Man, That that right there does a different 52 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: thing to the mindset. Because if you're dealing with death, 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: and let's say, granted and got ninety years old, and 54 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: for the last four years it's kind of been a 55 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: roller coaster for she, but she's kind of slowly transitioning, right, 56 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: And so mentally, what that does for you is it 57 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: prepares you to be able to lay your love when 58 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: the rest you know, the idea that just all of 59 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: a sudden one day, You know, man, it's just a 60 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: different thing. Man. Speaking speaking about LA two, I just 61 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: spoke with the Compton Menace shut out to the homey 62 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: Compton Menace, and I told him, like, yo, man, I'm 63 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna hold up on LA man.

The LAPD was on seen to 108 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: disperse the crowd after the concert was officially shut down. 109 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: LAPD joined with the HP who were on hand in 110 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: riot here as the concert was evacuated last night. We're 111 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: just standing there for like almost more than an hour, 112 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: like waiting for the next reformance and then they and 113 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: then next cno, like that's when we start seeing people 114 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: going on social media and finding out that there was 115 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: a brawl and stuff. Security told us the festival that 116 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: stage was shut down and pretty much we could go 117 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: to the rest of the festival. But as soon as 118 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: I happened, pretty much room the night is for league now. 119 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: Some of the other performers that were set to take 120 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: the stage included Snoop Dogg, fifty Cent and Ice Cube. 121 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: Of course, that did not happen after the concert was canceled. 122 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: And we've also been hearing from social media and even 123 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: from a fan that came out here to express his 124 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: condolences after learning of the death. Reporting Life here from 125 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: Exposition Park with ABC. So as you hear altercation took place, 126 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: they say that a crew came and see the thing 127 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: that y'all may not understand. People that's listening, watching and 128 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: observed and see the spectators don't never know the rules 129 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: of the game. They just have to deal with the results. 130 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, y'all don't really know that 131 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: we got to stand on their business. And that's what 132 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 1: I'm saying about when you deal with La gang culture. 133 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: That's why I'm telling you. Man. As a young boy, 134 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: all my homies that tell you, I would always say 135 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: a homie, you crib why you can't call snoop or homer? 136 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: You blood why you can't hit up shoog. I was 137 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: always confused as to how I'm willing to die for 138 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: the same things. And then there's no line of communication. 139 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: As I've got older, now I'm noticing that they copied 140 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: that they just was copying the La gang culture and 141 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: they was taking the other places and people were implementing 142 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: things that they didn't understand, like you have certain gags 143 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: that on the West Coast, certain you know, and I 144 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: just recently found this out. Certain things don't go together, 145 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: like if you say trade and blood, those two things 146 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: can't be in the same sentence, according to La. But 147 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: if you go to New York, they got nine trade bloods, right. 148 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: So so what happens is what you're dealing with is 149 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: what happens with information, and it gets lost in translation. Right. 150 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: So when you take something from the West Coast and 151 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: the nigga branch out with it and he end up 152 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: overhill over there, you know if it ain't an original 153 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: West Coast nigga. See, this is the thing. If they 154 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: would have sent West Coast niggas all around the world 155 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: to put the game down and everything would have been cool. 156 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: We had some West Coast niggas in my time at 157 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: a young age with the cript talking the blood talk. 158 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: But what happened was they sent them movies all across 159 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: the world, and then movies didn't give no instruction. So 160 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: the movie just gave the culture and made it look 161 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: fun to Dicky Fitz the flag hanging out the pocket, 162 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: the niggas talking and saying cus and blood and you 163 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: know these things. So people were infatuated with their ability 164 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: to understand that from a very very high view. But 165 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: when you drill it all the way down bro, then 166 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: politics is very serious. Like if I'm if I'm this 167 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: kind of crib and we run into this kind of blood, 168 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: that's a platinum plaque, right then there's nowhere around it. 169 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: There ain't no talking it out. There ain't no looking 170 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: fun over here in the cone and trying to mug 171 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: and put your stabbed game on. We got to get it. 172 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: You got to go platinum right here off the scribble. 173 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: And so you're dealing with what looks like to be 174 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: the case when we're dealing with Draco, do you understand 175 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: looks like they run into some people that it's on site, 176 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: This is an on site situation. The problem then becomes 177 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: how somebody to get a knife in. Now I'm always 178 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: in somewhere with something because I know somebody else in 179 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: somewhere with something. I ain't never button nagked, never bud nigga, 180 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: never ever bud nigga, because I know, yo, it'll be 181 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: it'll be my luck. Right then I'm whimping him and 182 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: come up stabbed. I can't never play like it. I'm 183 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: gonna do that. I'm gonna try to do the stabbing. 184 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to flight a fight, you 185 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying I'm always probably gonna fight. You 186 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because again I'm looking at it. 187 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: So when you look at Draco and and you look 188 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: at them his crew, which was about four five niggas 189 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: running into a group of niggas. Now here's another thing 190 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: that that's saying. They're saying that there was a very 191 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: unique approach to security and to the amount of people 192 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: that the artists can have with them. Very unique, meaning 193 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: that that hadn't happened before. They didn't usually get this 194 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: kind of resistance. Right, So Draco shows up and you 195 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: deal with him having to stand on them gang politics 196 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: or just the politics of its own site, them own 197 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: site politics. I'll say that this is the difference when 198 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: you're dealing with somebody that come from it and somebody 199 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: that play with it. So when we deal with Takasha, 200 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: if you remember, Takashi was running around with the gang culture, right, 201 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: but they running too Takasha at the outport his home. 202 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: Is they standing on the game business? Pop it on off? 203 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: They're talking too much. Let's get it cracking, right, Takashi 204 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: doing everything he can to try to stay out of that. Draco, 205 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: them and other rap dudes game and these kind of dudes, 206 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: A lot of these rap dudes. They running on in 207 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: a blender, you know, and so what you're running in 208 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: there and then somebody having a knife. Unfortunate events took place, 209 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And again, La, man, right now, 210 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: it's been very high. It's been a situation where even 211 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: the big home is that I talked to from out there, 212 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, they know a little bit, but they don't 213 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: know enough to really really know something, you know what 214 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It just seems like it's it's out of 215 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: control and it's very sticky because you're being a place 216 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: not knowing. See the problem with LA, you out there 217 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: not knowing that you in real life monopoly. La to 218 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: me is a real life monopoly board. You know, these 219 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: people on this, on this and this, and you could 220 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: be riding through that are not really knowing or at 221 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: these certain little spots you haven't been booked to come 222 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: picking up this little bitty back in. But you really 223 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: in the middle of what you don't even know you 224 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of. But those of us, they come 225 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: like that or come from that, we understand the underworld. 226 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: So when we start to see things happen like that's 227 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: happening in La Alder. The burglaries, the robberies, the we're 228 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: talking about. They're walking up to people. You usually would 229 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: think that once you make it into the restaurant that 230 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: you're safe. In La they're walking up on people inside 231 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,479 Speaker 1: of the restaurant with the gun inside of the restaurant, 232 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: robbing you with seventy five other people sitting around eating 233 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: with a mask on and got the gun on you 234 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: like yo, come on with your things like so. And 235 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: they're doing a whole bunch of home invasions, whole bunch 236 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: of home invasions, you know. So I tell people to 237 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: stay dangerous, you know, stay dangerous, dog and and and 238 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: that's always something that I like to say. Now well, 239 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: also I would think that with all of these things 240 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: happening around hip hop festivals, within the next five years, 241 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: I would see that this hurts the business of hip 242 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: hop festivals. Not only the Draco, but the Draco thing, 243 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: the Boostit thing, the the Travis Scott thing, all these 244 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: things are happening to rap shit. So the investors are 245 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: gonna do what do what investors do du a risk assessment? Right, 246 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: And if we're just looking at bodies and inventors. We 247 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: ain't looking at the inventory. We're just looking at bodies 248 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: and ticket sales, and so we can put the same 249 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: kind of thing together for a totally different genre and 250 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: not deal with the mess. We usually try to do that. 251 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: And that's why I say about rap in our culture, 252 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: we got to use that energy that we got to 253 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: do it on signing do X, Y and Z. We 254 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: got to use that energy to fuel some other things 255 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: that we really need to be fueled. You know, for 256 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: our community. You understand me as far as as far 257 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: as me, I know that my power comes by giving 258 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: game out every week. You know, these people come high 259 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: leading me. You understand me. People really really really is 260 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: locked in and tuned in. And so it's so many 261 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: people that I've touched and they say, Yo, man, you 262 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: really be speaking what I need to hear. And so 263 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: I understand that. And that's why I tell people and 264 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: see sometimes I don't talking riddles sometimes, you know, so 265 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: when I tell people to yo, you gotta pay me 266 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: to stand up, they don't really understand, you know what 267 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And what I'm saying is, hey, man, I 268 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: make all my money sitting down. I make all my 269 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: money in front of this thing, telling people the game, 270 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: breaking down the bitterness, trying to let people understand the 271 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: difference between knowledge and money, trying to bridge the gap 272 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: of knowledge and money, telling people the different between being 273 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: rich and being liberated. You understand, I make all my 274 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: money sitting down, so you have to pay me to 275 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: get up and come to hell do that, this, that, 276 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,359 Speaker 1: and the third. I'm building something that don't require your attention. 277 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: You know, I'm the dude they bring to the game. 278 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: The conversations you understand, like a lot of things happening 279 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: on Land right now to the day started from me 280 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: talking about it, you know what I'm saying. And I 281 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: think that people have to put a certain level of 282 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: respect on that. You know. Um, but yeah, man Ah 283 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: Peter to Drake O. Man, the game is the game, 284 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: and I hate it. You know, it's an unfortunate situation. 285 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: Like I say, Man, we gotta do something about getting 286 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: some money, man, and trying to and trying to help 287 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: some other people, man, and and really stand away from 288 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: killing each other.

For show now, 332 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: I want to talk about jay Z going on Twitter 333 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: saying that no one can beat them in the versus 334 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: um and a bunch of other things will play a 335 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: little bit of it really quickly. The music, music labels 336 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: and the music business should be to facilitate into you know, 337 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: enhance that to help you to get your music hurt 338 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: by a wider audience. UM. So that's the attitude that 339 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: you have to have come in all you should be independent. 340 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: I see I see guys like left on here. I 341 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I didn't create the Independent Manual, 342 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: but I definitely added some major chapters. So to see 343 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: people you know, um, you know, going about this business 344 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: the way they are now and being like aware and 345 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: being a stupid about you know, about the business of music, 346 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, makes me, you know, super happy. And I'm 347 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,719 Speaker 1: happy for you because again you get to explore you know, 348 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: freedoms and things that you've you know, you probably wouldn't 349 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: have done in the past. And I'm glad And I 350 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: do want to say this because he ain't lying about that. 351 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: And as much as again I'm not critical about these men, 352 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: I'm never critical about people I'm critical or the information. 353 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: It's important that the right information is put out there 354 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: only because there's people depending on it. That these people 355 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: are never talked to, that I'll never talk to if 356 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Like my uncles say, fall off when you're wrong. 357 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying. So if I'm wrong, I 358 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: need people to pull my cotail, or even if there's 359 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: another perspective, you know, start your platform or whatever it 360 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: is you may do somebody. You know, we got to 361 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: make sure that the both sides are being told. So 362 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: I want to definitely set that precedent whenever I talk 363 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: about the ogs and the greats and the icons, the legends, 364 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: the living legends, the deceased legends, the people in our 365 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: culture that carried our flag to places that maybe others 366 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: couldn't enter. I definitely speak with a certain level of 367 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: appreciation when I speak about them. With that being said, though, 368 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: I think there's a level of confusion as too. Not 369 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: who belongs in the game or who did stuff in 370 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: the game, is just how much they did in the game. 371 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: And also I think that there's missing pages. Not that 372 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: the pages ain't been wrote, but in certain books the 373 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: pages come up missing. My job is to take all 374 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: the books that's out there, put this thing together and 375 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: provide a platform in which the full specs, the full 376 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: spec trum is considered. Right. We love all of the pioneers. 377 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: We understand that there's been life changing sacrifices. Me being 378 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: a creator, I understand that the level of perseverance, the 379 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: level of I gotta have it. You know, with jay 380 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: Z fighting against the ghosts of Tupac, the ghosts are 381 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: biggie them dudes. We wasn't even that to compete, and 382 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: they was comparing Jay to them. I know what that's like. 383 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: Maybe not to that magnitude. But as a creator, I 384 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: can place myself. That's one of the the attributes that 385 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: you have when you become a creator, Right, You're able 386 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: to place yourself in these different scenarios and you're able 387 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: to get things from them, digest them right, and then 388 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: preach the gospel. You know. But when he says that 389 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: he added to the business at him in right of 390 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: the game, we gotta give him that. When we look 391 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: at the game prior to him or at the same 392 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: time as him. You gotta think when Jay was talking 393 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: that one million, two million, three million, four, when he 394 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: was talking that shit baby in cash money and then 395 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: was jumping out of helicopters that they showed the game 396 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: was moving to what you see it now. He had 397 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: to fight through that because the game was moving to 398 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: the stunting, to the necklace and the chains and the diamonds. 399 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: They were always there, but now it's about to take 400 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: a stronghold. It's about with this cash money wave coming. 401 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: This juvenile guy, this pimp c dude over here, this 402 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: master p dude with dropping something that's going gold every month. 403 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: You know, there's things happening right at the same time. 404 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: Now p shortly after they start to dissolve, and in 405 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: regards to music, because his hat, his hand is in 406 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: a whole lot of different pots, he starts to dissolve. 407 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: But now we're dealing with cash money. You see, Jay 408 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: got to reach the juven now, he got to consider 409 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: old now this is coming. So he did. He went 410 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: through a lot. But when we talk about business, he 411 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: was talking business back then. He was talking Sean John 412 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: made thirty million last year. You know, I means Doc 413 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: caught us on my feet. You know, he was talking 414 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: that business talk back then. So if anybody dispute that, 415 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: they would be sadly mistaken. You know what I'm saying 416 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: this dude here, jay Z. You know again, not that 417 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: I need to say it, because it's painfully obvious, right, 418 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: because we're dealing with the results, right, We're looking at 419 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: a bid and when we look at net worth, you 420 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: understand me. So we're dealing with results. It ain't that 421 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: I need to say it. I just had to reiterate 422 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: it for the people that knew the class. See, people 423 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: just not getting the class. So you gotta start updating folks. 424 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: And that's when he come out here and then say 425 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: little things like this. But let's listen to a little 426 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: more this album. You made, this album, you know, one 427 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: of the toughest I was with me to mate was 428 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: the last album I made. Like you know, I felt 429 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: like four or four is one of my best written songs, 430 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 1: not in terms of it had the best metaphors and 431 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: things like that, but it's the song I've always wanted 432 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: to make and I would like, you know, hide it 433 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: with like humor and you know, things like that I 434 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: create song cry. You know, we all just say you 435 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: don't do somebody like that and you know, and kind 436 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: of like sugarcoat it. But I felt like four to 437 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: four or four was just raw and it was honest, 438 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: and it was like the song that I always wanted 439 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: to make, but like getting one to ever be in 440 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: a space where I was that vulnerable because the metrics 441 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: of what I wanted didn't dictate that, Like I had 442 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: to chase Billboard and I had to do that. You know, 443 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: once you let go of all that you don't you 444 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: become free like a true artist, and you can make 445 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: the things that you really want to make. And I 446 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: know that's a long answer, but I felt I old 447 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: you that for that, for that now I appreciate that, 448 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: and I feel that and and I guess my question 449 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: is to be clear so that people could be clear 450 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: if after twenty years, why would it Why would the 451 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: label not want to promote you for your last record? 452 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: Like that's almost like a celebration, right, Like why why 453 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: would that happen? Well, two things is another great question. Um, 454 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: labels are not taught to to like so you would 455 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: think we've done this relationship. You know, we've had this 456 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: great relationship for twenty years. Let's all celebrate. But you 457 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: know it doesn't behoove a label to to for two reasons. 458 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: And this is just man again. I'm not I'm not 459 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: anti label, you know, I'm just pro artists, right, I 460 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: think I think I think that, you know, I think 461 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,719 Speaker 1: it's clear to say that because you know, I like 462 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 1: that narratives. I just want to be super clear with 463 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: my intentions. And what I'm saying is, you know, people 464 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: oftentimes do with they're taught, not what's right. So if 465 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: someone taught you that it's not great business to UM 466 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: promote an artists on their way out, there's no longer 467 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: going to be with you because the next round of 468 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: artists may look and think, oh wow, at least it 469 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: was successful without them, Maybe I'll be successful without them. 470 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying. Yeah, So it's not about 471 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: feelings or emotion. It's about protecting a business that's in 472 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: the place that some people, not all, some people like 473 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: the way it operates to that UM so there's no 474 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: incentive in it for a record label to promote you. 475 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: And that's just how I felt on my last album. 476 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: I felt like there's no incentive in it for them 477 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: to promote my last album because I'm not gonna be 478 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: with them, so they're gonna make me a bigger artist 479 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: to go to another label. Right, I just said it. 480 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: You're saying, yeah, but there's a celebration of, you know, 481 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: the time that we've been together. You know, for them, 482 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: they're doing things that most of the time, they're doing 483 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: things that they've been taught. I'll just give you an 484 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: exact well I'm skipping around it so it sounds vague, 485 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: but it's a real example. So negotiation in his office. 486 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: It's just me and him in the office, and we 487 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: were we were a million apart on the number of 488 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: you know that I was going to buy this album 489 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: back from and I had said, um man, we've had 490 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: a great career together. We've made a lot of money, 491 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: We've had a lot of fun. You know, I'm not 492 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: gonna fight you over a million dollars. And he said, 493 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: I'll fight you. Now listen, now, let's think about this. 494 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how I was. I was I don't know, 495 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: late thirties maybe, and he was maybe about seventy nine eighty. 496 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: Like I I could literally have killed him in the 497 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: office before his assistant got in the office, like with 498 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: my hands, bare hands. But here it is he thought 499 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: that he can fight. He would fight me in the office. 500 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: And it's not because he was he'd really like me. 501 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was. It was anawice and that 502 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: this is the business and this is the way it 503 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: was taught to him. So this is how he operated. 504 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: See you talk, you're talking to a nigga. To understand 505 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: what he's saying, right, you're dealing with long right what 506 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: he's speaking to right now, he's speaking to a nigga 507 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: being stuck in the matrix and shout out, shout out. 508 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: I just started watching the matrix. You understand me. I 509 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: have never seen it. I'm not a movie dude. I'm 510 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm my outside guy. So it's a lot of movies 511 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: I've never seen. Right, So um, starting to be able 512 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: to do that, you know what I'm saying. So again, 513 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: jay Z speaking about a nigga that's that's stuck in 514 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: the matrix. They stuck looking at numbers and and this 515 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: and that and budgets and projections and this and that. 516 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: Like they stuck. They don't even have feelings, they don't 517 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: even have emotions, taed to nothing but the results. If 518 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: they gotta listen boy them, do you understand these CEOs 519 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: would kill themselves. That's a trigger warning for people who 520 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: that's a very crazy topic, right, But the CEOs purposely 521 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: transition in many cases to save the company, to save 522 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: the money, to make sure that the people get the insurance, 523 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: and the folks is stuck in the matrix, doll, just 524 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: the fact of going broke. I remember when the crash 525 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: happened in two thousand and seven. The crash happened in 526 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, there was a lot of CEOs 527 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: from major companies just went going ahead and taking piers 528 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: and their family would come home and find them people 529 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: deceased just because their company went bankrupt. They didn't even 530 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: trust the ability, right, And that's what they do in 531 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: the matrix, because they're not the artist. The artist is 532 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: the ability. Just picture that your ability count on somebody else. Everything, 533 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: all the money count on them. It's a hell of 534 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: a situation to be in. So them business dudes just 535 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: stuck in the matrix bro looking at numbers. They don't 536 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: give a damn if you've been with them twenty five years. 537 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 1: I tell them my old lady all the time. Yo. 538 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: Them people at your job, I love them, it's cool, 539 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: But a lot of them people ain't Joe people, my nigga. 540 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking about it. If they fire you today.

Then yeah, because we 545 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: used to say the phones didn't work good, but we 546 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: knew what was You know, they just bring you up 547 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: about negative things. Outside of that, you will be a 548 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: you wouldn't need like you did. What I'm saying so 549 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: in business, in job, in corporate America, all it just 550 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: removes all feeling, all emotion come or missing. You're dealing 551 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: with business numbers. How much did it make you know, 552 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: Jay come in there as a black dude like, oh yo, bro, 553 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: we've been doing this twenty years.

You know, these people are saying 559 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: things they mean and smiling about it. Right because he 560 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: basically telling you where you're staying with him? Man, Yeah, 561 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: we made a lot of money, but you're about to 562 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: head out the dough the businesses over. Ain't no need 563 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: for me to Our relationship is merely the business. I 564 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: just know how to make it sometimes feel like it's 565 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: a little different. I'm good at that. A lot of 566 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,479 Speaker 1: them dudes probably psychologists or something. And today, I mean, 567 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: by the way, I like Doug. We're still cool at day. 568 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: So I'm not saying, um, I'm not saying it's in 569 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: a in a way, this is what he's been taught. 570 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: So he's been taught to preserve the business for the 571 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: next generation of CEOs and chairmans. And that's the answer 572 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: to your question of why they wouldn't do it, because 573 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: in their mind, they've been taught to preserve the business 574 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: that works for them. And I just think we need 575 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: to evolve man job as a human. Everything else is evolved, right. 576 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: You know, a group chat can now be had.

I'm sure there's language in your contract and 583 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people contract that was in Chuck Berry's contract. 584 00:32:53,960 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: I love about versus is it reminds people um um 585 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, artists catalog.

So he 618 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: just in that putting the game down, you know what 619 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying, that doing it in a way. Well, it's impactful. 620 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: The thing I like about jay and I think that 621 00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: are coming with age, even with somebody like me, because 622 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: because I would say that I'm rather calm when I communicate, 623 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm laid back sometimes I get a little passionate, and 624 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: for podcast's sake, I have to be disruptive from my approach. 625 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: So sometimes you will see me throw some theatrics on 626 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: top of it to get the message going in a 627 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: way that I needed to be gone. But outside of that, 628 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: to be able to be composed and trust the knowledge 629 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: that you have in your brain, right, I know my 630 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: family knows me to be able to do that. Sometimes 631 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't just simply spawn with somebody mentally, you know, 632 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: to where my people had to tell me. Now I'll 633 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: take care of it because I just want to, Hey, yo, 634 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: tell me why you say that? Man? What was that about? 635 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: Why would it be that much? If this that? You know? 636 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: And I'm just mentally spawned and just staying composed as 637 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm communicating because I recognize the knowledge, I recognize them 638 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: the value. I recognize the value in being able to communicate. Right. 639 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: I always had knew that and right, and so that's 640 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: why it's up there podcast. I'm about to branch that 641 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: out spitting that off, right, And I gotta get some 642 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: people that that's close to me, get get them up 643 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: to date on some game, and get him in them 644 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: schools and talking to the kids and people about just 645 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: merely communication, just that period, because again you don't even know, 646 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: you don't even know how to get the job, like 647 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: because you don't know how to interview, you don't know 648 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: how to talk with somebody to ask you a question 649 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,760 Speaker 1: you don't know, right, So it's about knowing how to 650 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: present what it is that you want to say. Man. 651 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: And I think you know, jay Z is one of 652 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,439 Speaker 1: the he's a master in that, and he's and he's 653 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: clearing his direction. I think every question that he's being 654 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: asked it runs through like chambers in his mind, like ownership, equity, 655 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: that how much money, value, integrity, like certain things. It 656 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 1: goes through it. And because his all of his answers 657 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: are circled around that. And I think not only that, 658 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: it is probably because that he knows a lot of 659 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 1: people are watching him. A lot of business people like myself, 660 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: like other podcasters in music, people in music are watching him, 661 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: listening to his every word. A lot of young people 662 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: and a lot of older people. They take whatever he say. 663 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: He can kind of he kind of got the Elon 664 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 1: Musk effect on our people. You know how Elon can 665 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: say something kind of move the stock market. He kind 666 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: of got that same effect on our people. So um, 667 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: like I say, he wanted the best to do it. 668 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: But again, we got to revisit how we look at everything. 669 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: But let's listen as he gets into the comparison of 670 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 1: Beyonce and Michael Jackson. I get Egypt into kids who 671 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: grew up in his face. And Michael Jackson was so 672 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,280 Speaker 1: good because he was around his brothers, you know, singing 673 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: and dancing and he was seven years old, right, so 674 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 1: of course Beyonce is going to be you know, at 675 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: that level. And to me, and it's my personal opinion, 676 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson never he had motown um twenty five where 677 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: he did the moon Ball and that was amazing. That 678 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: was an amazing moment. But you know, find me a 679 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: concert that's coach Ella. That was is culturally um relevant 680 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: and technically um um thrilling and thrilling is just a 681 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: word because I didn't want to say another way, but 682 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, see master communicator like myself. But 683 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: think about that. So he's comparing Michael Jackson to Beyonce, 684 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: and right now in real time, it's a very hard 685 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: conversation to hey, number one because I'll use jay Z's argument, Right, 686 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 1: we were dealing with right now, you know, and Jay 687 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: just spoke to how these things were speaking like a 688 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: Ronald Osley. These songs were written in the sixties and 689 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: the seventies and right now you can cut them on 690 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: and people are still right they wrote. Listen to the 691 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: time that it was written in. Right. So first you 692 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: gotta deal with that for you deal with and then 693 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: you gotta deal with the longevity of it, right, the 694 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: effects of it. You gotta deal with all that before 695 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: you even deal with the sales and all of that 696 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: other shit. So he's talking about Michael Jackson and he's 697 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: looking at it from a performance standpoint, and his question is, Hey, 698 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: tell me something Michael Jackson did like Beyonce did at Coachella, 699 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: and he basically hidden you with an our wight like Beyonce. 700 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: Is that far away from Michael? Now for me, I can't. Again, 701 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: I don't want all the Beyonce people at me or 702 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: all the Michael Jackson lovers at me. So we just 703 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,879 Speaker 1: heard the do the podcast work right and just had 704 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: a conversation. But he says, go get me something that's 705 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: like Coachella. Um, and again, I'm gonna just let that 706 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: point sit there. That I spoke about that. He spoke 707 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: about right about these things happening in the time frame 708 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 1: that they happened, then the longevity of them, the impact 709 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: of them. Michael Jackson literally had people fainting, right. I 710 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: think Beyonce has a high level of stardom as well, 711 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: like a super high level, like they gonna meet the 712 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: queens and I'll let you know. So it's it's a 713 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: it's a hell of a conversation, right, But for the 714 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: sake of the argument, I can't say either way because 715 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: I'm dealing with right now, like what Jay said, So 716 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna leave that at that.

The first five songs on their catalog is 757 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: best writing you ever heard. You know, Stevie Wonder one 758 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,919 Speaker 1: of the greatest writers of all times. You know, when 759 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 1: we're talking about that, his name may not come up 760 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 1: because it's not of the time right now. And that's 761 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 1: what I love about us. I know that's not the 762 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: answer that people wanting. I want to hit. I love 763 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: when Jada Kiss was spitting them who Shot and even 764 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: that you think about that, that who freestyle was so old, 765 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: but I mean old and relatively, but people really thought 766 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,359 Speaker 1: that was a new freestyle that he did it that night. 767 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: But with dip step, that's just you know, that's just yeah, 768 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: because people need to be reminded all the time. And 769 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: that's just you know, when we live in the now 770 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: and when people remind you how great they are, because 771 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: because before that, you would think Jada Kiss, I don't 772 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: know if he's been considered one of the greatest performers 773 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: of all time, you know, I don't know. I'm not 774 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: sure he's known for his performance, but he reminded you 775 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: that performance ain't singing and dancing and jumping around all 776 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: the time. Sometimes it's just the way you command the 777 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 1: stage that I would say, that's one of the best 778 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: performances of the year, right. I think I think we 779 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: all agree that that's what the best performances of the year, 780 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: but we don't. We wouldn't necessarily say Jada Kiss is 781 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: a great performer, um, And it just reminds you of 782 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 1: the greatness of folks. So I love to see him 783 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: get his flowers of and see how ron wisely reminded 784 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: people of how great he was. And you know, even 785 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: John Tay Austin you look at him like man, he 786 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: wrote that, and he wrote like you just think he 787 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: had a chance versus Neo. Neo got to sing to 788 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: the lapsed but day like Neo at one time was 789 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,800 Speaker 1: controlling Pope Radio. There was no one on the planet 790 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: that could touch his pen period. And I know that's 791 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 1: another controversial statement, but at one point in time, Neo, 792 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: every single joint he wrote was going number one, to Mario, 793 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: to Rihanna joint, to his own chance, to Brittany, you know, irreplaceable. 794 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: Anything that man was pinning was given some real think 795 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: John take stood a chance. And then you realize like, oh, 796 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: it's not about number one records, Like he just put 797 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 1: on a Chris Brown joint. It's on in popping and 798 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: everybody was like, oh, that's that joint all right, you know, 799 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: like you could have played old Boy, Old Boys a 800 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: smash and we got it. We gotta recognize it as 801 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: a smash. But when Jada kiss the freestyle, it was like, 802 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to beat that. But you wouldn't 803 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 1: say that coming in. You wouldn't say that coming into 804 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 1: the battle or the person or whatever you're calling it, right, 805 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 1: you wouldn't say that coming into it.

LA politics seem 842 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: to be in this array right now. It seems to 843 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: be a place where things are kind of going to 844 00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: ride or seem to be. It seems to be a 845 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 1: lot of violence out there, a lot of break ins. 846 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 1: And it's the thing about the end of the year 847 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 1: that I always tell my family, something about the end 848 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 1: of the year says shut down, you know what I'm saying. 849 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 1: And Um, I always knew that, and I always feel 850 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,799 Speaker 1: that a lot of the things that happened seem to 851 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 1: happen in that time. So again, just staying alert, stand 852 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 1: staying active, and staying dangerous. Man, it got to be priority. 853 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for us in our culture. Um, it's almost like 854 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: a prize to kill one of our own, you know. Um, 855 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,320 Speaker 1: it's almost it's almost viewed as a badge of honor 856 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,240 Speaker 1: to have killed a man, to have shoulder man about 857 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: playing with you. It's unfortunate reality, but it is the 858 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:55,320 Speaker 1: reality that we live in. Seeing that on the other 859 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 1: side of that, you got being killed. With that being said, 860 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 1: you got approach that situation with a certain level of seriousness. 861 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: You know. Again, I spoke about Draco the ruler, and 862 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 1: I spoke about gang politics and how I always kind 863 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: of knew like a lot of people took the gang 864 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 1: thing and they took it from La. You know. I 865 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 1: made a point earlier while I said that the gang 866 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: thing kind of took off in a weird way because 867 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: not because it ain't like the Crypts and the Bloods 868 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 1: had had a spokesman that they sent to all least 869 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 1: cities to make sure that the language was right and 870 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: the tutelage was right, and they fall up under the 871 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: right law. And this that and the third. The problem 872 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: with the gang culture is that it was. It was 873 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 1: it penetrated the ghetto through the movies, so they grabbed 874 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: hold to the movies. And then what they do is 875 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 1: they just project what they think what it is they 876 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,359 Speaker 1: think they see man. And I always viewed that as 877 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: being a very big problem because again it was always 878 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 1: things missing, and there's things that you I don't tell 879 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: you if I don't write it down UM step by step, 880 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: you know, because I think you consider these things, but 881 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: you can't consider what you don't know. So we were 882 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 1: kind of in the middle. After that, we went to 883 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: UM speaking about Jay him and Alicia Keys did Twitter spaces. 884 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 1: We're gonna get back into that conversation UM with with 885 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 1: those two people. And then you realize like, oh, it's 886 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: not about number one records, Like he just put on 887 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: the Chris Brown join. It's on in popping and everybody 888 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:46,360 Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's that joint, right, you know, like 889 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: you could have played old Boy, Old Boys a smash 890 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: and we gotta we gotta recognize it as a smash. 891 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 1: But when Jada kiss the freestyle, it was like, it's 892 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: gonna be hard to beat that. But you wouldn't say 893 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 1: that coming in. You wouldn't say that coming into the 894 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: battle or the person or whatever you're calling it, you 895 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't say that coming into it. Um, I think that 896 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 1: was a long answer to stay that. I just love 897 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: that people get to remind people of you know how 898 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 1: up their greatness, Alicia, When when are you gonna be 899 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 1: able to give hold his flowers on a versus stage? 900 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: Un span on that stage with me. I need this. 901 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: I ain't a lie, no respect, everyone's amazing. And then 902 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 1: what they've done. No one you stay on that stage. 903 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you guys that real. It's not 904 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: a shot, it's not a chance in hell that anyone 905 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:41,800 Speaker 1: could stay on that stage. And before I don't know 906 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: how long, there's two hours, about two hours, right, I 907 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,359 Speaker 1: gotta stand in front of the Grammy Family Freestyle Live. 908 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: You know, no one's ever even seen me perform that, 909 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 1: Like you gotta stand in front of that. That ain't 910 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 1: gonna be. Man. Let's let's move on from Get Back 911 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:08,880 Speaker 1: to the Keys album. So for those of you just 912 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: now tapping in, it's jay Z basically um saying that 913 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: no one can stand on stage with him in a 914 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: versus Battle number one. I find that interesting. Jay Z. 915 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 1: Now let me say this jay Z is a hell 916 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:26,360 Speaker 1: of a guy. His catalog it's probably one of the 917 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 1: best music catalogs in music history. And that's a very 918 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:36,879 Speaker 1: heavy statement. Um versus, you will have a hard time 919 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 1: in front of jay Z as a certain presence about him. 920 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 1: You did what I'm saying. But I do think there's 921 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,879 Speaker 1: some names that can be throwing that hat. That's number one, 922 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,799 Speaker 1: number two. A lot of people say this is in 923 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: response to Future basically saying on that song Eminem's with 924 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 1: a little baby saying that, hey in the streets, I'm 925 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: bigging and jigging. For me, I'm from the South, so 926 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,359 Speaker 1: it's I gotta be clear my communication with that, right. 927 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm always critical of the information that's 928 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: left out, never critical of the people. I'm critical of 929 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 1: the information. I get kind of perturbed when I don't 930 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,279 Speaker 1: hear Jay Prince, when I don't hear bird Man, when 931 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: I don't hear masterp. So for me, everything I look at, 932 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 1: I look at it to make sure that the representation 933 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: ain't off. I understand that the history books are written 934 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: by some people that may not consider some people. That's 935 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,320 Speaker 1: where I'm from, right. I don't know what that's about 936 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 1: or why that's the case, right. I'm not anti anyone. 937 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: I'm pro South. Right, So again you'll hear people say 938 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 1: things like that, that's what that was a When I 939 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 1: heard Jay say something like that, I said, that's a 940 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,399 Speaker 1: perfect way to explain the way that I look at 941 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: and how I handle the information and the historical view 942 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: of the game. Right. I'm not anti any other coast. 943 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 1: I'm not anti any rapper. I'm not anti any establishment, 944 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 1: any click, any group, any particular individual. I'm just pro South. 945 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,720 Speaker 1: I gotta make sure that because my little boys, my family, 946 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,719 Speaker 1: we come from the South. So I need the little 947 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,879 Speaker 1: babies in the South to know, Yeah, now you ain't 948 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,359 Speaker 1: gotta be from X, Y and Z to be an 949 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 1: executive or CEO. You can grow up right here in Tennessee. 950 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 1: You can come right from a line and be the 951 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 1: next biggest executive. Right. So it's more about them and 952 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 1: less about the rappers. And I think that the people 953 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 1: that's in the positions, once they hit that message, they'll 954 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 1: understand that. I gotta be disruptive in my communication about that, 955 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 1: right only because nobody's gonna listen when I come out 956 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,920 Speaker 1: and I just say, hey, hey, you guys, y'all forgetting 957 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 1: about Birdman pe the South podcasting in the South? Music 958 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 1: run the South? How to South podcasting? The sole lower level. 959 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: You're only gonna mention a South podcast when it's signed 960 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 1: to one of your friends, Right. That ain't even about 961 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,439 Speaker 1: that podcast. That's more about the person they signed to, right. 962 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,879 Speaker 1: And And you know, for me, I can see through that. 963 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: For when jay Z say you know no one can 964 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 1: stand on stage with him? I say, what about Kanye? 965 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 1: What about Dre? What about did it? What about? And 966 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 1: we're talking catalogs or something, right, So we're looking at 967 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,920 Speaker 1: just catalogs. And I know he's saying, well, yeah, we're 968 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,200 Speaker 1: dealing with catalogs. But if you put somebody up like 969 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 1: Jermaine dupri with the hell of a catalog, he don't 970 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,840 Speaker 1: got the style or the aura I got, you know 971 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,839 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I think he's weighing it like that. 972 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,759 Speaker 1: But a lot of people, again, let me get back 973 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,319 Speaker 1: to what I was saying, a lot of people saying 974 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 1: that him saying these things are in response to Future 975 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,799 Speaker 1: saying that on that record. Then a big bank came 976 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,320 Speaker 1: out and tweeted, I'm gonna promise y'all something that everybody 977 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:58,759 Speaker 1: in the Linna thank Future behold in the verses, then 978 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,919 Speaker 1: that goes viral. Future retweets it, it goes viral. Right. 979 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,279 Speaker 1: So what we're dealing with and what my question is 980 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:14,680 Speaker 1: to the people who are unaware of the politics, is 981 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 1: what we're supposed to do ignore our accomplishments. See I 982 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 1: think Jay no, I think Jay got enough sense to know. 983 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 1: Ain't nobody just bowing down and nobody that ain't how 984 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,359 Speaker 1: this work. We got a lot of respect for the 985 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 1: business side of it. Because when we strip it down 986 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 1: and boil it all way down and drill it all 987 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 1: way down to straight music, nigga, can't nobody to see 988 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: bird Man, and that's from the South. Can't nobody in 989 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,280 Speaker 1: the game see bird Man when we strip it all down, 990 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,520 Speaker 1: because when you look at it, everybody else, what they've done, 991 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: it's been outside of music, respectfully, So let's look at 992 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 1: it for the music thing. And who did wasn't in 993 00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,439 Speaker 1: music because when we did with verses in music talking 994 00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 1: about music, a lot of people even through Wayne in there, 995 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 1: Wayne is a hard person to deal with. I think 996 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,759 Speaker 1: the music the contrast of Jay and Wayne may not 997 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: be a good contrast, you know, but when we strip 998 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 1: it all the way down to nothing but music. Birdman 999 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:25,000 Speaker 1: has probably surpassed everybody in music, but we don't hear 1000 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: his name in the top three. You tell me what 1001 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: that's about. I'll wait. I've been waiting. I start to 1002 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,960 Speaker 1: see people now try to reiterate a lot of my 1003 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 1: talking points. But the problem with that is is the 1004 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 1: people gonna know you didn't make the grave, and the 1005 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 1: grave it come from me. So when they get a 1006 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 1: little piecea they got to come back and get some more. 1007 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: That's just how the game works. I don't really necessarily 1008 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people that can out wrap 1009 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,760 Speaker 1: jay Z, but I'm looking past that. I'm looking I'm 1010 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 1: looking at the game for exactly what it's worth. Again, 1011 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 1: when I look at Jay, when I look at hole Hold, 1012 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: is that nigga in retrospect. That's why I know he 1013 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 1: can't feel away about what future got going on or 1014 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 1: what some of these dudes just really rearing up about 1015 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 1: fifty to sixty seventy million dollars at a time with 1016 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: the label. He can't feel away about that. And I 1017 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 1: know he don't because he's a boss. He's a businessman, right, 1018 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 1: so he knows what's going on. Don't he know what 1019 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 1: you gotta feel like way before you become the champion, 1020 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 1: you gotta train like the champion. He know, way before 1021 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: you become the champion, you got to be eating and 1022 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 1: getting your meal prep down like the champion. He know 1023 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 1: that because when we look at Hole in retrospect, Nigga, 1024 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: he was number three or four popping that number one shit. 1025 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 1: So he knows what it's like to be viewed like 1026 00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: this but feel like that. He comes from that we're 1027 00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 1: talking about. When Pocket Bigger was alive, Jay wasn't number one. 1028 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,120 Speaker 1: It was a pocket a Bigger. Then you get the 1029 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 1: Then it depends on who you asks. Pocketing Bigger would 1030 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 1: would circulate for one and two. Then depending on who 1031 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 1: you ask, you might get a Jay z a Nas. 1032 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. You start to get these 1033 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: other names, but not for one seconds. He number one. 1034 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 1: When he was popping that number one shit, he felt 1035 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: like number one. So when future do it, you can't 1036 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,840 Speaker 1: tell me that's a problem, can't you? Or is it 1037 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 1: just a problem because he from the South or somebody 1038 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 1: helped me understand. I can't wait to have an intelligent 1039 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 1: conversation with someone that represents the other side of this argument. Again, 1040 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm not critical to people. I'm critical the information. Everybody 1041 00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 1: knows that I love this game. This game is what 1042 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 1: I got a lot of love for, So I'm just 1043 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 1: looking at it for what it is worth. Somebody tell 1044 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 1: me what's the difference between future saying hey the people 1045 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 1: in a line of thing, you can be a jigger 1046 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 1: in inner verses. What's the difference between that and jigger 1047 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 1: saying that Beyonce is bigger than Michael Jackson. At some 1048 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,120 Speaker 1: point you gotta compare and contrast with the greats. And 1049 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,600 Speaker 1: if it's me talking about me, you expect me to 1050 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 1: take a back seat to who, about what and when 1051 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 1: and why what? I it's important for me to champion myself. 1052 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 1: Who else gonna do it? I'll leave people depending on me. 1053 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 1: I'll leave families out unfit and people out of chain. 1054 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,640 Speaker 1: What you're telling me I can't pop it? Is it 1055 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:41,320 Speaker 1: because of what somebody helped me understand? Go back to 1056 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: the records, and I know this ain't coming from jay Z. 1057 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 1: That's why I got to speak to my coach of 1058 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: my people, because someone along the lines we get it confused. 1059 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: We think it's cool for one person to pop it 1060 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 1: and it ain't cool for the other people to pop it. 1061 01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 1: Somebody got to help me understand and see when we 1062 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 1: have a real conversation. And that's that's why it's important 1063 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: for you know people to help blow up. It's up 1064 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 1: the podcast for Revote to be instrumental for you know, Charlemagne, 1065 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 1: and be instrumental for you know nor Rijoe Budden, Wallow, 1066 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,520 Speaker 1: every big, for everybody to be instrumental in what I 1067 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 1: am doing, because it's important for me and people like 1068 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 1: you know, Jay or Kanye and all these Drake and 1069 01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 1: these people able to sit down only because the way 1070 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 1: that we look at it right. And for me, you 1071 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 1: got to help me understand why nobody asks Jay about 1072 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,600 Speaker 1: what bird Man was saying. So tycoon in the game, 1073 01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,120 Speaker 1: y'all got Jay for all that time because ain't nobody 1074 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 1: from the South. It ain't even registering when when bird 1075 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 1: main't go on Big Facts and say, yo, I'm one 1076 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,960 Speaker 1: of the biggest ones out.

Like you know, 1097 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 1: bird Man has been influential in the game. You know, 1098 01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 1: talk to me a little bit about that boy, or 1099 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 1: however you craft the question. But for some reason, this 1100 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,640 Speaker 1: is how you put the ship in the history books. 1101 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,160 Speaker 1: It's bird This is how media works for y'all that 1102 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 1: don't understand. Right, this is how media works. Or jay Z, 1103 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Birdman comes sit down with Big Facts pokt. 1104 01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 1: This is how media is supposed to work and how 1105 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: it usually works. Right, Birdman comes sit down on Big 1106 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 1: Facts podcast. Bird Man says that he's bigger than anybody 1107 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 1: in the music business. He's sold more, He's did more 1108 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,160 Speaker 1: this than the third Right, all the big dogs in 1109 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,120 Speaker 1: the music business. The next time they sit down somewhere, 1110 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 1: they'll be asked that question. Flip it if jay Z 1111 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 1: says no one in the game is bigger than me, 1112 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 1: I've sold more records than everybody, X Y and Z. 1113 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 1: When Kanye goes on Drink Champs, they're asking him. Jay 1114 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,400 Speaker 1: said this on Breakfast Club. What did you think about that? 1115 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,600 Speaker 1: That's how you cement that argument in third and give 1116 01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 1: that conversation legs. Bird Man said that and they shut 1117 01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:03,400 Speaker 1: up about it. Number one is the truth. You're dealing 1118 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,720 Speaker 1: with the facts and the information, right, It's the truth. 1119 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 1: That's number one. But number two, for some reason, things 1120 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 1: don't register. And this ain't a beef. This ain't a beef. 1121 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: This is a pulling of a cold tail. Because we 1122 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:21,760 Speaker 1: pulled to be a community, right, my people from everywhere. No, 1123 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,920 Speaker 1: I love my people from everywhere. My energy is pure, 1124 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: but my understanding is supreme. And sometimes those things clash 1125 01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 1: with each other. My ability to understand the circumstances and 1126 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 1: the inability to had it, the inability not to say nothing, 1127 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 1: the inability not to be able to chuck away what 1128 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,840 Speaker 1: I know to be the case right now, you know, 1129 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:49,880 Speaker 1: sit on it. I can't do it. So it's like 1130 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:55,400 Speaker 1: I try to place things you know in perspective head 1131 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: on before we move on from versus we definitely if 1132 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 1: my husband has flowered for being innovator that he is 1133 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 1: and being able to actually give a platform and so 1134 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:12,240 Speaker 1: many people that get ignored, gods him and exactly what 1135 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 1: you said, because you get to be put back on 1136 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 1: to the greatness of people, which is the theme of 1137 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,560 Speaker 1: what we're talking about here, is like really really recognizing 1138 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 1: people's special specialness, you know what I mean, that they've 1139 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 1: been able to contribute for all of us to enjoy, 1140 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:33,480 Speaker 1: to learn from, the sample from, to create new things from. 1141 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:37,440 Speaker 1: So definitely, definitely definitely um first of all, um. So 1142 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 1: it was just a good conversation. Number one, Jay z 1143 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 1: is podcasting that's podcasting to me, putting supreme game down. Um. Again, 1144 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:51,000 Speaker 1: his disability to just speak is king and and like 1145 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 1: that's why he's a rap. That's why he was a 1146 01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,400 Speaker 1: hell of a wrapper all that time. It still is 1147 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:58,560 Speaker 1: because he can do that. But again, you know, um, 1148 01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:02,439 Speaker 1: just for those just listening and just for the sake 1149 01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,320 Speaker 1: of understanding, you know holds that nigga, he's the goat. 1150 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,200 Speaker 1: You know, we just got to rewind the situation again 1151 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 1: for those of you that don't know, I make all 1152 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,919 Speaker 1: my money sitting down talking, so I know what I'm 1153 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 1: talking about, or somebody think I know when I'm talking 1154 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,720 Speaker 1: about one or the other. Either way, it's working right. 1155 01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:24,400 Speaker 1: So when we deal with m jay Z again, we're 1156 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,320 Speaker 1: dealing with it. When you when you rewind and look back, 1157 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,000 Speaker 1: he was always three and foward. He was able to 1158 01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 1: pop his ship. But again, if you just look at 1159 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 1: all music now, so it's a difference between who's better 1160 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:39,960 Speaker 1: learned and who's more learned, right, meaning it's a difference 1161 01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 1: between who got the most information and who did the 1162 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 1: most with the information. You understand. But when we look 1163 01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,919 Speaker 1: at straight music, bird Man is the head not to tell. 1164 01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 1: But when we spend outside of music, we're dealing with 1165 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,000 Speaker 1: businessman now. So we're looking at a Jay and all 1166 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 1: these niggas, you know, go get them a big dog status, 1167 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,960 Speaker 1: and we gotta respect that, you understand, And I think 1168 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:10,120 Speaker 1: it's a certain level of understanding. But what about Dre, 1169 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 1: what about Kanye? You know? What about I don't know. 1170 01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,600 Speaker 1: Some people are putting on and then I've seen a 1171 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:22,880 Speaker 1: Wayne Drake. Then I've seen a lot of people put 1172 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,480 Speaker 1: DM mix some people would have put specially back in 1173 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,440 Speaker 1: the day when we talk bigger than them. But again, man, y'all, 1174 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 1: just y'all, just always remember, like Loon Loon, look at 1175 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,200 Speaker 1: the game for what it's worth. I always try to U, 1176 01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, do more than just take the head last 1177 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 1: for the headlines, man. And I think that's what gives 1178 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 1: me a disruptive approach in the marketplace, man. And it's 1179 01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,640 Speaker 1: and it seems to be working, but shout out ja, man. 1180 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,600 Speaker 1: But you gotta know, people gonna pop, man, People gonna 1181 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,640 Speaker 1: pop it. You understand, people are gonna pop it. And 1182 01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 1: that's why a lot of people feel away. I guess 1183 01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,200 Speaker 1: about me because I'm gonna pop. I'm gonna poppet man. 1184 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,080 Speaker 1: And I put a lot of work in I do 1185 01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,280 Speaker 1: a lot of things that a lot of people can't do. Man. 1186 01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 1: So for me, man, I'm anna poppet. And if you 1187 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,920 Speaker 1: don't like it, that's your business, and you're gonna have 1188 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 1: to do something about that. A live with it, you 1189 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,760 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And and that's just how we go. Man. 1190 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 1: Let's see if he's said anything else again. I always 1191 01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,799 Speaker 1: told y'all Versus had a hell of a business model. 1192 01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,680 Speaker 1: It's like they was able to do something with the trads, 1193 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,640 Speaker 1: you know, and we don't and respectfully trash, you know. 1194 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,920 Speaker 1: I just use metaphors that way analogous what I'm saying. 1195 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 1: It's things that dormant not working. Someone's like going down 1196 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,559 Speaker 1: in the basement and being able to reuse that old 1197 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,679 Speaker 1: furniture and reupholster it, you know, redoing. Then it's able 1198 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:46,880 Speaker 1: to be used again because they're taking old wreckers and 1199 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: repackaging them and getting them back out there. It's a 1200 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,560 Speaker 1: powerful thing, dude. Streams is going up. I think a 1201 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 1: lot of the rappers and singers are asking about real 1202 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,680 Speaker 1: value after it, because it's really just what's called a 1203 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,200 Speaker 1: spike in this business. But I think the rapper singers 1204 01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 1: and people own verses got to do a better job 1205 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:10,120 Speaker 1: at putting that in conjunction with something right and continuing 1206 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 1: that um.

They can probably make another six figures 1209 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,600 Speaker 1: every time someone's called four verses, and a lot of 1210 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: times I get that game out, But I'm uninterested in 1211 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,720 Speaker 1: doing that in two and twenty two.

I instantly was tagged in 1235 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:08,680 Speaker 1: this posting. The competitive in me has a unique outlook 1236 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,240 Speaker 1: when these kind of things happen. What seems to be 1237 01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:19,639 Speaker 1: happening is What seems to be happening is is that 1238 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 1: the South is having trouble resignating with the people that's 1239 01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,360 Speaker 1: making these kind of posts right and not saying the 1240 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:32,080 Speaker 1: South isn't has a presence. Understand, I communicate for a living, 1241 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 1: make all my money talking, so I know exactly what 1242 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:38,479 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Hit me and hit me well. The South 1243 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:44,760 Speaker 1: has a problem resignating with the people that makes these lists. Oftentimes, 1244 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 1: you can't make this list if you're not signed to 1245 01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 1: someone that's a friend of someone that's making the list. 1246 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:56,000 Speaker 1: That's what it feels like right outside of that, And 1247 01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,800 Speaker 1: we're not talking about taking this up that podcasts off 1248 01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:02,880 Speaker 1: the list. Let's look at I am athlete shout out 1249 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,240 Speaker 1: to my brother Brandon Marshall, how he don't make that, 1250 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,759 Speaker 1: and not saying that this ain't about Willow, because Willow 1251 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 1: is doing this best at trying to stop the divide. 1252 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 1: He can feel it. He can feel it when dudes 1253 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 1: go to posting the numbers, niggas go to posting a 1254 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,240 Speaker 1: little shit, he can feel it. Oh, they're getting in 1255 01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: that competitive mold. And he trying to keep the family together. 1256 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,639 Speaker 1: So I know what he's his attempt there. Again, I'm 1257 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 1: never critical of my brothers. I'm critical or the information. 1258 01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,639 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at it from a perspective of saying, 1259 01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 1: let's let's look at the list right. It's a beautiful list. 1260 01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,000 Speaker 1: And my brothers from the South there, my brothers from 1261 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,800 Speaker 1: New York are there. Then folks ain't did nothing but 1262 01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:51,320 Speaker 1: embrace me, nothing but embrace me one and I got 1263 01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 1: a lot of respect and love for a lot of 1264 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,080 Speaker 1: people on this list, and it's gonna stay that way. 1265 01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna remain that way. It's locked that way, right. 1266 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:08,160 Speaker 1: But what leaves me feeling perturbed. Number one is that 1267 01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 1: I instantly think about the quality I put out outside 1268 01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 1: of the five thousand dollar cameras, outside of the attention 1269 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,800 Speaker 1: to detail in the paintings that people don't know how 1270 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,240 Speaker 1: much costs behind me, those things are just things I 1271 01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 1: ain't even talking about. I'm merely talking about the number 1272 01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:37,000 Speaker 1: of hours, the number of how Nigga really doing this right? 1273 01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:40,639 Speaker 1: And then the analogies I'm putting down the game, I'm 1274 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 1: putting down the interviews. I'm going to get how maneuvering 1275 01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,519 Speaker 1: around the game. There's yet to ben people that meet 1276 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,920 Speaker 1: me that hasn't been affected by me in some kind 1277 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:53,720 Speaker 1: of way. So they go to burning, they go to 1278 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,840 Speaker 1: burning in the inside of me as a competitive guy, right, 1279 01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 1: just coming from being just a competitive weather to Nigga. 1280 01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:06,240 Speaker 1: That just that that's the first outlook. Then I get 1281 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,000 Speaker 1: the thing, and land ain't even thinking about quality. Number 1282 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 1: one Loan Door Podcast by a Selvice, a lot of podcast. 1283 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,720 Speaker 1: Two three people guests this that in the third and 1284 01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm about to roll out guests, so you be well, 1285 01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,160 Speaker 1: we're about to roll out the guests thing, right, So 1286 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,880 Speaker 1: it's coming. But it's just when I think about the 1287 01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:27,719 Speaker 1: workout putting in, it's disappointing that the posts, the finger 1288 01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,240 Speaker 1: that posted be on the post, is that out of reach, 1289 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:34,720 Speaker 1: out of touch? And I'm right down the road independent. 1290 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 1: Ain't nobody independent that they talk about. Everybody's signing to 1291 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 1: somebody they're cool with. And for me, I gotta think, 1292 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,120 Speaker 1: like Loan, is this the game? But I was telling 1293 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 1: Arnia Leads, I've been pleasantly surprised how the game is 1294 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:54,800 Speaker 1: welcomed me. I've been able to walk in rooms right 1295 01:14:55,439 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 1: and they've been uninterested and even anything outside of I 1296 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 1: want to hear more from you. I want to figure 1297 01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 1: out a way to support you. And I think I've 1298 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,479 Speaker 1: been blessed in that way. And I'm interested in the 1299 01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:12,719 Speaker 1: people because all these dudes is my people. I gotta 1300 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,000 Speaker 1: I studied the game. I know a lot about all 1301 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,120 Speaker 1: these guys. Studied the game because I had to come 1302 01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 1: from a place where ain't no plug ups. I gotta 1303 01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,599 Speaker 1: be the plug. So in order to be the plug, 1304 01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:26,720 Speaker 1: you gotta be the source. You gotta go get the 1305 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:28,960 Speaker 1: ground while I went our way to the bottom, and 1306 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, put it all together myself. I had to 1307 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:36,040 Speaker 1: do it that way. You understand, Number one is understanding 1308 01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 1: where you're from in position. You can't get out of 1309 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:44,439 Speaker 1: something you don't know you in. You know what I'm saying. 1310 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,000 Speaker 1: You can't get out of something you don't know you in. 1311 01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 1: You can't wake up if you don't know you sleep. 1312 01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:53,200 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So somebody got to know. Yo, 1313 01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,479 Speaker 1: you gotta listen to what I'm putting down. You gotta 1314 01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:59,000 Speaker 1: really download what I'm upload It's the only way to 1315 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,400 Speaker 1: stay abreast. Don't the real nigga's environment. But for me, 1316 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,000 Speaker 1: I think it's always fucked up to see light. These 1317 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:09,680 Speaker 1: podcast dudes, right, and I know they got friends they 1318 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:11,719 Speaker 1: left off the list. It ain't but a certain amount 1319 01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,679 Speaker 1: of even list you can make. You remember the last 1320 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,480 Speaker 1: list that would David did up to think twenty podcasts 1321 01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,200 Speaker 1: and the South presence was Slim the Nun and South 1322 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:25,559 Speaker 1: Run Wrapping rapp is fueling hip hop podcasting. If we're 1323 01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,479 Speaker 1: being honest, do we want to have a convo or 1324 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,479 Speaker 1: we want to act like? Do we want to chill. 1325 01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,200 Speaker 1: Should I just chill or what because we can have 1326 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:36,559 Speaker 1: a convo and tell the truth. South runs hip hop. 1327 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:43,120 Speaker 1: Hip hop podcasting's interview based all the number one, two, three, 1328 01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 1: and folds most of them. I'll say that most hip 1329 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,040 Speaker 1: hop podcasts are interview based, which is ran by hip hop, 1330 01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,519 Speaker 1: which is ran by the South. But when they make 1331 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,320 Speaker 1: the podcast list, the South list don't look like the 1332 01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 1: list don't look like it got no Southern podcasts on it. 1333 01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:01,920 Speaker 1: Balloon putting game down. So I'm resonating with the Joe 1334 01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:05,720 Speaker 1: Buddon fans and the little bullshit fans. That's why they 1335 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 1: got a problem. And I understand that the business instructure right, 1336 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:11,120 Speaker 1: and there's only a certain amount of time. I even 1337 01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,559 Speaker 1: see eighty five South show here, shout out to them. 1338 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:17,320 Speaker 1: Them dudes got a whole they ball games. They got 1339 01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,920 Speaker 1: a different type hustle. They hustle is king. They didn't 1340 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 1: changed the two. And it's a slow transition. And I 1341 01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,760 Speaker 1: know what they're doing. I respect the hustle. So keen 1342 01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,360 Speaker 1: Chinna eighty five. I said, Oh, I see what they did. 1343 01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:36,600 Speaker 1: They went Chinna eighty five. I see what they're doing. Powerful. 1344 01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,320 Speaker 1: They're looking for a big check down the road. They're 1345 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 1: playing a long game and that's why I'm trying to 1346 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:45,000 Speaker 1: tell y'all about this space. But again, Loon is coming 1347 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:46,719 Speaker 1: this year at the end, by the end of twenty 1348 01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 1: twenty two, will be on out of the list going 1349 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:53,720 Speaker 1: multime in twenty twenty two.

But if 1422 01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:07,120 Speaker 1: I offend you with questioning whether or not we consider 1423 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:14,720 Speaker 1: all of us, then maybe we shouldn't be communicating anyway. 1424 01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 1: You know, there's been a lot of people to make 1425 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 1: this space what it is. I always tell y'all, good 1426 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,439 Speaker 1: swimmers drowned.

Like, 1430 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,000 Speaker 1: It's just things like that. But he was a good swimm. 1431 01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,559 Speaker 1: He just drowned. He was you know some things. Sometimes 1432 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 1: things happened that you know, life calls and takes you 1433 01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:48,680 Speaker 1: out of the game. But you can't go through that 1434 01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:52,120 Speaker 1: and not consider what that wore. When I'm sensitive about 1435 01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,160 Speaker 1: about this thing. I put a lot of work in this, 1436 01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:59,840 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of time, and I do this 1437 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 1: by myself, right, so means a lot to me not 1438 01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:06,439 Speaker 1: to make a list from somebody that's support that that 1439 01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:10,800 Speaker 1: has their hand on the post or the game, right, um, 1440 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,200 Speaker 1: And I want my people to know, you know, because 1441 01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 1: I gotta be loyal to my audience.

When I'm dealing with the business 1452 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:56,559 Speaker 1: and I'm knowing that hip hop music is rammed by 1453 01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:06,680 Speaker 1: the South, podcasting is driven by rapper interviews. There's no 1454 01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,679 Speaker 1: way the South should be in a position of where 1455 01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:13,080 Speaker 1: we only show up when we you know, nah, y'all 1456 01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 1: gotta let you know so again, and we're gonna keep 1457 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,720 Speaker 1: putting the game down.

I didn't 1488 01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,439 Speaker 1: till he's trying to get Kanye and tend to get 1489 01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:26,400 Speaker 1: him being tired of going on. He mentioned trying to 1490 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:35,439 Speaker 1: lead the trenches farm stuff. I feend assisted what I 1491 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,040 Speaker 1: know that Mama told her about the nights of times 1492 01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:40,960 Speaker 1: careful shit, get we get on my side of time. 1493 01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:17,479 Speaker 1: I lost a piece of the footage, so I'm just 1494 01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:22,400 Speaker 1: kind of scatter braining, just you know, moving around topics. 1495 01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 1: I really don't know what was kept what was not. 1496 01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the full audio out, but I think 1497 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:31,320 Speaker 1: I may have missed a few of the moments in 1498 01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:33,679 Speaker 1: the podcast when I said some things that I wasn't 1499 01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 1: able to capture own video. I think I left off 1500 01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:50,000 Speaker 1: speaking about a post from Willow about podcasting, and I 1501 01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:54,519 Speaker 1: expressed my sentiments of podcasting needing a bigger self presence. 1502 01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,880 Speaker 1: You know, we we run music. I'm confused at all 1503 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,880 Speaker 1: the rappers and the politics is so far up because 1504 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,960 Speaker 1: the South run music. When up North room music, we 1505 01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:09,080 Speaker 1: didn't see any interviews for what it is worth down 1506 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:17,000 Speaker 1: in the South. And again, I'm not anti anywhere. I'm 1507 01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:21,360 Speaker 1: just pro South. And I'm also pro truth. I'm pro information, right, 1508 01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:23,800 Speaker 1: so I speak truth to power. I got a lot 1509 01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:27,720 Speaker 1: of love in these places, right, they know me they 1510 01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:29,960 Speaker 1: know my feeling, they know my vibe, they know I'm 1511 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,000 Speaker 1: a real one. So I'm just more so critique in 1512 01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 1: the game. And I got the ability to do that. See, 1513 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people speak on things they don't have 1514 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:43,760 Speaker 1: the ability to speak on. You haven't really being in 1515 01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:48,720 Speaker 1: a position to have enough wait attached to your name 1516 01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:50,439 Speaker 1: to be saying some of those things. But once you 1517 01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:54,160 Speaker 1: navigated in a place or with a certain level of information, 1518 01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:00,120 Speaker 1: I think that you are warranted in your communication. But 1519 01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:02,200 Speaker 1: as far as creators, you know, like I say, I 1520 01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:11,200 Speaker 1: tend to get frustrated and it tends to make me 1521 01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:14,800 Speaker 1: just a competitor in me. It just fires up their 1522 01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:18,280 Speaker 1: competitive spirit. You know. Next thing I'm gonna speak about today, 1523 01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:20,280 Speaker 1: far get out of here. I just got a couple 1524 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 1: of more things I want to hit on. It's Kevin 1525 01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,360 Speaker 1: Samuel's Kevin Samuels and Fresh and Fit. For those of 1526 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,719 Speaker 1: you that don't know, Fresh and Fit is the podcast 1527 01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:30,920 Speaker 1: where academics had the gun pouring on them or whatever 1528 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 1: that situation was. I'm starting to see, and let me 1529 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:38,080 Speaker 1: speak about this. I'm starting to see podcast and start 1530 01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:43,800 Speaker 1: to do like fake moments like water watering down the 1531 01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:47,040 Speaker 1: space right dudes are getting into fake arguments. People are 1532 01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:51,200 Speaker 1: getting into fake situations where they're leaving and and it's 1533 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,120 Speaker 1: beef and shit is happening and art and hollering and 1534 01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 1: screaming and like this situation, guns are being poured out. 1535 01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:00,840 Speaker 1: We don't know now it seems that that was a 1536 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:05,160 Speaker 1: real situation. But I am starting to see podcast and 1537 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:11,320 Speaker 1: try to adopt some of this WWE approach, you know, 1538 01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:15,479 Speaker 1: And it's concerning to me because again, I don't want 1539 01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:19,720 Speaker 1: us to lose the authenticity. Some of these conversations are 1540 01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:25,280 Speaker 1: so powerful and so needed that if you are a creator, 1541 01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:28,160 Speaker 1: because again, a creator is gonna look at the game 1542 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:30,880 Speaker 1: how a man looks at a woman, right, So we're 1543 01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:34,400 Speaker 1: gonna have a certain level of love and interests and 1544 01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:39,880 Speaker 1: ability to want to fix and change it or or 1545 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:43,200 Speaker 1: at least taylor make it to what we see fit right. 1546 01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:46,920 Speaker 1: So it's about knowing how to curate these things right. 1547 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,400 Speaker 1: You don't have to create these fake moments when there's 1548 01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:52,560 Speaker 1: a pool of talent. If you know the post of 1549 01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:55,360 Speaker 1: the industry and the game, you put this person with 1550 01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:59,799 Speaker 1: that person, that conversation will lead to a great, great content. 1551 01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:03,280 Speaker 1: Number one for whoever is in it. On a business aspect. 1552 01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:07,680 Speaker 1: But number two, a lot of information will be projected 1553 01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:10,200 Speaker 1: out of that, out of that interview. And so that's 1554 01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,040 Speaker 1: why I come in and I have my finger on 1555 01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:14,240 Speaker 1: the post. And then I'm a student of this, so 1556 01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:17,559 Speaker 1: I kind of can feel it, right, I know where 1557 01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 1: to put the two people together. So I don't want 1558 01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:25,400 Speaker 1: us to lose the authenticity and start to create these 1559 01:31:25,479 --> 01:31:28,840 Speaker 1: fake moments, even though WWE ran for a long time 1560 01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:33,000 Speaker 1: that way, controlling the narrative and the story. But again, 1561 01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,439 Speaker 1: I just find it interesting that if you're not signed, 1562 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:38,479 Speaker 1: you're not mentioned. You know, it's the same way they 1563 01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:44,760 Speaker 1: locked us out of other music industry, right, because they 1564 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,400 Speaker 1: pit us against each other. Right, So we think because 1565 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:51,160 Speaker 1: he signed the Universal, they're gonna make him look a 1566 01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,799 Speaker 1: certain way and have a certain level of marketing dollars 1567 01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:57,120 Speaker 1: that go into his image. Right. So what happens is 1568 01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:01,280 Speaker 1: the creator that's maybe in a at a long term 1569 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:06,160 Speaker 1: position than this guy that looks flashy, right, he tends 1570 01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:10,760 Speaker 1: to want to change his approach to business because it 1571 01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,679 Speaker 1: doesn't feel the same as that guy. I think we're 1572 01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,880 Speaker 1: coming into a place now where people are starting to 1573 01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:19,640 Speaker 1: wake up and notice and realize, like you gotta be 1574 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:22,320 Speaker 1: on top of your business, you know what I'm saying. 1575 01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:24,680 Speaker 1: And this really is a long game, you know. I 1576 01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:26,479 Speaker 1: heard a Sugar and we're gonna get into the Sugar 1577 01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:29,439 Speaker 1: Night interview with a million dollars worth a game. I 1578 01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:32,280 Speaker 1: heard him say, you know, it's important that you don't 1579 01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:38,400 Speaker 1: do business with somebody that's just funding something and then 1580 01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:41,320 Speaker 1: they want to sell you back your own stuff, like 1581 01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:44,640 Speaker 1: the ownership piece of it. And I always tell people, man, 1582 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,680 Speaker 1: it's about information and knowing what ownership even looks like. 1583 01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 1: What does that look like? Right, Because it's easy to 1584 01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:56,720 Speaker 1: say for people that operate inside those constructs, But you 1585 01:32:56,840 --> 01:33:00,599 Speaker 1: gotta understand they're grabbing people from outside of the school 1586 01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,360 Speaker 1: and that you guys are in. That's why I try 1587 01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:06,120 Speaker 1: to go in and now, you know, I try to 1588 01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:08,640 Speaker 1: go over here in the industry, get some information, but 1589 01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,200 Speaker 1: then talk to some niggas out to ghetto, you know, 1590 01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:13,760 Speaker 1: and talk to some doctors and some scientists and some 1591 01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 1: lawyers and this and there. I'm trying to talk to 1592 01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:20,800 Speaker 1: people who got interesting conversation, but you gotta understand what 1593 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:24,120 Speaker 1: they're picking from. Right. A lot of you guys kicking 1594 01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:27,719 Speaker 1: the game where you think you you are teaching people, 1595 01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:30,400 Speaker 1: and maybe you are. It's not reaching our way down 1596 01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:34,519 Speaker 1: to where you really come from, right, because as you 1597 01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,880 Speaker 1: went up on your journey, your communication has changed, right, 1598 01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:43,040 Speaker 1: And so it ostracizes people who don't understand the language 1599 01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:45,599 Speaker 1: that you're speaking. Like when you say I PO, when 1600 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 1: you say CPA, when you say you know, hey, this 1601 01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:52,400 Speaker 1: company's going public, or you know, these kinds of things, 1602 01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:54,439 Speaker 1: they really don't understand. Hey, if you to put fat 1603 01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:57,920 Speaker 1: and see now, I see people starting to break it down, like, hey, 1604 01:33:57,960 --> 01:33:59,760 Speaker 1: if you to put a thousand dollars in there now, 1605 01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:03,000 Speaker 1: then by today you would have made such and such 1606 01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,200 Speaker 1: amount of money. And they still don't really know what 1607 01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:09,320 Speaker 1: that means, because that means that what you bought for 1608 01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:12,200 Speaker 1: this amount on this date is now worth this amount 1609 01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:15,839 Speaker 1: on this date. Right, So nothing's really changed in regards 1610 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,679 Speaker 1: to what you've done to make that happen. The market 1611 01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:23,320 Speaker 1: is dictated the gain of the loss there. But do 1612 01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:25,640 Speaker 1: you pull that money out, do you keep that money in? 1613 01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:28,160 Speaker 1: Can you borrow against that money? What's the penalty of that? 1614 01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:33,560 Speaker 1: Like there's things on top of that, right, information that's 1615 01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 1: just considered to be known. And I think sometimes we 1616 01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:41,240 Speaker 1: gotta as a community because we act as encyclopedias, you know, 1617 01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:43,920 Speaker 1: the rappers, that's the rappers are today, the jay Z's 1618 01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:48,640 Speaker 1: of yesterday, and the people of tomorrow. We act as 1619 01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:52,120 Speaker 1: encyclopedias for the people that come after us, not just 1620 01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:55,000 Speaker 1: by talking like we with each other, but really putting 1621 01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:58,879 Speaker 1: some information out and having those tough conversations, maybe calling 1622 01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:03,519 Speaker 1: dudes out on things. Things that's misguiding the people. Right 1623 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,719 Speaker 1: in regards to hey man, they're saying that we should 1624 01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:08,320 Speaker 1: go through here confined out. They own the company with 1625 01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:11,800 Speaker 1: wood Woo, and it's still a label type situation, but 1626 01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:15,559 Speaker 1: they running down all our people through there because and see, 1627 01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 1: I'd like to hear testimony, testimony from real people, right. 1628 01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:27,120 Speaker 1: I understand marketing out even if when you see the president, 1629 01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,280 Speaker 1: like when Obama was trying to get Hilliary to win, 1630 01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:34,000 Speaker 1: you see them go grab Ja Beyonce, every big rapper 1631 01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:38,600 Speaker 1: that has leverage or has some sort of outreach you know, 1632 01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:40,960 Speaker 1: can affect some people. They grabbed them and put them 1633 01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 1: next to him because the impact of those people. But 1634 01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:48,200 Speaker 1: I disagree with that approach wholeheartedly. Actually, I think that 1635 01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:51,080 Speaker 1: when it's authentic, right, when they can say, yo, we 1636 01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:54,720 Speaker 1: saw you take this due right here from nothing and 1637 01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:57,200 Speaker 1: make him a million now in front of our face. 1638 01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:00,200 Speaker 1: He didn't pop up a millionaire and just saying Yo, 1639 01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm a meeting man, I do this, this, this, and 1640 01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:06,360 Speaker 1: this right. We saw y'all help people go from nothing 1641 01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:09,080 Speaker 1: to something, and the authenticity next to that, I think 1642 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:13,960 Speaker 1: cannot be purchased. Right. I understand marketing will lead you 1643 01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:16,800 Speaker 1: down a way to say, you know what, maybe I 1644 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:21,120 Speaker 1: should stand next to all the hot wrappers or do 1645 01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,639 Speaker 1: you know those kind of things, man, But I think 1646 01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:29,160 Speaker 1: that organically, man like, if is it really helping people? 1647 01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:34,000 Speaker 1: Is it really helping people? Like it's people really getting 1648 01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:35,760 Speaker 1: something from it? And a lot of people proof is 1649 01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,519 Speaker 1: in the pudding, but there's some that's blending in with 1650 01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:40,600 Speaker 1: the ones. This proof is in the pudding. And I 1651 01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:44,360 Speaker 1: think some of those hard conversations are going to have 1652 01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:47,400 Speaker 1: to happen in the culture because even if you affect 1653 01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:50,559 Speaker 1: thirty forty thousand people with your platform, but but you're 1654 01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,920 Speaker 1: ill advised in your communication or you're just kind of 1655 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,559 Speaker 1: tricking the people into spending money with you, I think 1656 01:36:57,360 --> 01:36:59,560 Speaker 1: we gotta make sure to kind of address that, you 1657 01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:04,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean as a whole um. But you 1658 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,120 Speaker 1: heard me earlier. You know when Wallow. When you see 1659 01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:12,240 Speaker 1: Wallow make a post like that, right, deal, podcasts, I'm 1660 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:15,840 Speaker 1: not your competitors. This that in the third what it 1661 01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:17,920 Speaker 1: says to me. And I could be wrong, but I 1662 01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,960 Speaker 1: got a podcast that I need to be disruptive, and 1663 01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:24,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna speak about it. But when I see that, 1664 01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:27,320 Speaker 1: as I said, the first thing I think about it is, oh, 1665 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,920 Speaker 1: there's some rumblants behind the scenes. Not with some of 1666 01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,560 Speaker 1: the people he poked met, Yeah, I would say with 1667 01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 1: some of the people he posted. But Wallow playing that 1668 01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:42,280 Speaker 1: penitentiary game. He playing that keep the piece game right, 1669 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:45,080 Speaker 1: because he's like, Yo, why y'all starting to compete like this? 1670 01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:48,800 Speaker 1: Ain't that ain't what we on you know what I'm saying. 1671 01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:52,479 Speaker 1: So he trying to make it where it ain't no issue. 1672 01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 1: But it ain't no issue long as you know certain 1673 01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,160 Speaker 1: people winning. But listen, I'm in the podcast, and I 1674 01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:03,639 Speaker 1: know the value of podcasts, and I know what's going 1675 01:38:03,720 --> 01:38:06,479 Speaker 1: on in the game. I just feel as though we 1676 01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:10,240 Speaker 1: got to spread this out. You know, we're gonna have 1677 01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 1: to spread this out. And I believe I'll be influential 1678 01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:15,200 Speaker 1: in and and I can't wait to have conversations with 1679 01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 1: some of these guys, some of the tough conversations, right, 1680 01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:21,479 Speaker 1: some of those conversations where we gotta get down to 1681 01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:28,240 Speaker 1: the particulars of things and hopefully teach you know what 1682 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But Kevin Samuels and Fresh and Fit is 1683 01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:34,280 Speaker 1: having an issue. Both are big in this space. I 1684 01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:38,040 Speaker 1: think Kevin Samuels now has representation by one of these 1685 01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:42,040 Speaker 1: big agencies or something. But Fresh and Fit is a 1686 01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:47,920 Speaker 1: independent podcast doing pretty well. They get eight thousand people watching. 1687 01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:51,000 Speaker 1: They have a lot of guests, I think with COVID 1688 01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:55,000 Speaker 1: coming back around, you know, because they usually have ten 1689 01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:57,840 Speaker 1: people in there and they just going, going, going, and 1690 01:38:58,200 --> 01:38:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, people like to watch it. It's almost like 1691 01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:03,040 Speaker 1: a reality show. Um, I think it's it's pretty cool. 1692 01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,120 Speaker 1: I'll probably make an appearance that at some point, unless 1693 01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:09,160 Speaker 1: it's some kind of podcasts beef that I don't know about. Right, 1694 01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:12,599 Speaker 1: Kevin Samuels, I got business with him on the back 1695 01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:15,400 Speaker 1: channel that I'm trying to put together. Of course, some 1696 01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:19,280 Speaker 1: of my political connections knew about that. Kevin Samuel's and 1697 01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:22,280 Speaker 1: Fresh and Fit have both been on the same shows, right, 1698 01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:24,840 Speaker 1: So Kevin has came over the Fresh and Fit and 1699 01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,400 Speaker 1: talked about the only fans girls and things like that. 1700 01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:34,920 Speaker 1: Seems to me Kevin Samuels has accused Fresh and Fit 1701 01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:38,439 Speaker 1: of regurgitating a lot of his talking points, kind of 1702 01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:43,320 Speaker 1: taking his content, adding a very small twist to it 1703 01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,719 Speaker 1: and reading putting it back out and wants to beef 1704 01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:49,360 Speaker 1: his own if I'm interpreting this right. If I'm not, 1705 01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:55,719 Speaker 1: will come back, you know, on another party and someone 1706 01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:58,240 Speaker 1: give me the information. But according to what I'm knowing 1707 01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:01,760 Speaker 1: or seeing or reading, that's what it looks like. But 1708 01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:05,160 Speaker 1: it's a lot of copyright strikes, and Kevin Samuels is 1709 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:12,599 Speaker 1: about to speak on it. Let's listen. I am, well, 1710 01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm mobilizing, so driving, but I think this is an 1711 01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:26,000 Speaker 1: important topic to discuss. Um. Yeah, I've heard a little 1712 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,880 Speaker 1: bit of the input on many side, and I've also 1713 01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:36,040 Speaker 1: seen some of them. I can see it on both sides. 1714 01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:41,599 Speaker 1: And the issue I see with fair use is one 1715 01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:48,919 Speaker 1: most people don't know what fair use is. There's elements 1716 01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:51,960 Speaker 1: of fair use, and like you said, is it transformative 1717 01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:56,320 Speaker 1: in nature? And I've often heard people say, well, you know, 1718 01:40:56,800 --> 01:41:00,479 Speaker 1: Kevin Samuels does the same thing. I want to make 1719 01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:06,160 Speaker 1: this unequivvocally cleared. There is a multimillion dollar industry of 1720 01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:10,840 Speaker 1: responding to Kevin Sanders, and I don't strike it. I've 1721 01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:15,320 Speaker 1: had my entire life put under a microscope, and I 1722 01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:20,680 Speaker 1: don't strike it. The only I've even put up I've 1723 01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:24,599 Speaker 1: even put up parameters and guidelines of people who would 1724 01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:27,400 Speaker 1: like to use my content with our permission. That doesn't 1725 01:41:27,400 --> 01:41:30,080 Speaker 1: mean they're after you. It's just one thing that I 1726 01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:32,639 Speaker 1: noticed is that when people who are when I considered 1727 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:35,519 Speaker 1: to be serious content creators, of full time content creators, 1728 01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:39,759 Speaker 1: we often give each other a courtesy request or courtesy 1729 01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:43,960 Speaker 1: heads up, That's what I noticed. But then more casual 1730 01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:50,000 Speaker 1: content creators, people who just are running channels for their 1731 01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:53,400 Speaker 1: own personal benefit. That's why it tends to become tricky. 1732 01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:57,720 Speaker 1: And the one thing that I tend to find egregious 1733 01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:01,360 Speaker 1: is when someone simply clicks the OS or clicks their 1734 01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:05,599 Speaker 1: streaming software and simply mirrage or content in live streams. Yes, 1735 01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't allow that, because that is that is no 1736 01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:15,040 Speaker 1: different than taking a copy of a movie. Okay, so 1737 01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:19,800 Speaker 1: so well, what I'm understanding is is that Kevin Samuels 1738 01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:21,960 Speaker 1: end up having some sort of issue with Fresh and 1739 01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:26,200 Speaker 1: Fit called the mount on it, I think, and they 1740 01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:32,320 Speaker 1: started to strike his channel saying that he's using their content, 1741 01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:35,400 Speaker 1: or it may not be Kevin Samue's, may have been 1742 01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:38,280 Speaker 1: somebody else. Listen, listen. I'm all over the place with this, 1743 01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:41,920 Speaker 1: but I think it's a good conversation about fair use, 1744 01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:47,439 Speaker 1: about understanding how to navigate a podcasting or content creating 1745 01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:49,640 Speaker 1: or just having a YouTube channel where you want to 1746 01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:51,840 Speaker 1: make some extra money, those things, and knowing how to 1747 01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:55,600 Speaker 1: navigate those things. Again, you can't bump into the information. 1748 01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:59,599 Speaker 1: You have to go somewhat is very specific in particular 1749 01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:03,280 Speaker 1: to get the information. And so um, now that we 1750 01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:06,040 Speaker 1: have these kind of platforms like it's up there podcast, 1751 01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:08,400 Speaker 1: we got to make sure to put one foot in 1752 01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:11,400 Speaker 1: front of the other and move forward with the information. 1753 01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:18,840 Speaker 1: Playing playing playing your favorite artists music and just streaming it. 1754 01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:23,880 Speaker 1: That's not acceptable. That's no transformative nature. Neither is you're 1755 01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:26,320 Speaker 1: sitting there doing the same thing and saying, oh that's dope, 1756 01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:30,439 Speaker 1: Oh that's good, Oh that's great. That's not transformative in nature. 1757 01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:32,880 Speaker 1: So I want to be clear because people keep trying to, 1758 01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:36,880 Speaker 1: you know, put me into parts of this situation. If 1759 01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:42,759 Speaker 1: there is something that's um that's questionable, is when especially 1760 01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:46,640 Speaker 1: like I content Instagram content that's I don't even have 1761 01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,560 Speaker 1: a chance to upload myself. Someone wants to mirror it 1762 01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:51,840 Speaker 1: and upload it. And see people just think they can 1763 01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:54,760 Speaker 1: do what they want with people's content. But that's not this, 1764 01:43:56,479 --> 01:44:00,040 Speaker 1: That is not this. This from what I understand, and 1765 01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:06,519 Speaker 1: is uh the silence, criticism, the silence. Uh you want 1766 01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:13,679 Speaker 1: to use my content? Uh, and my responses correct. I'm 1767 01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:18,759 Speaker 1: not okay with that, um, because you know, my personal 1768 01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:20,880 Speaker 1: opinion is if you're gonna put something out there on 1769 01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:25,240 Speaker 1: the on the platform, it's open for public consumption. Now 1770 01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:30,080 Speaker 1: how they use it there? I think you know what 1771 01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:32,360 Speaker 1: like the like the like the judge, look at me, 1772 01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:35,480 Speaker 1: look at how much of the content was the transformative 1773 01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:38,599 Speaker 1: in nature? What did you do? If those elements are met, 1774 01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:42,439 Speaker 1: then it's fair use. This isn't coming in. It's fair use. 1775 01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:45,599 Speaker 1: This is coming in. Is we don't like what people 1776 01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:50,320 Speaker 1: are saying, and this is that And that's that's a 1777 01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:56,360 Speaker 1: dangerous game, um, because even if you're even if you're 1778 01:44:56,520 --> 01:45:00,360 Speaker 1: right on the particular element of one or two p ideals, 1779 01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:04,920 Speaker 1: when when it's done like this, you can tend to 1780 01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:08,120 Speaker 1: be wrong on the bigger partners, Like when you what 1781 01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:12,200 Speaker 1: I understand, lots of creators woke up with several several 1782 01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:16,720 Speaker 1: different strikes. Um. I think there's just a better way 1783 01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:20,800 Speaker 1: of approaching it. Um. But well, but I think it's 1784 01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:24,400 Speaker 1: going to be interesting because even though I have my 1785 01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:28,680 Speaker 1: personal opinions on it, I think there's going to be uh. Um, 1786 01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:31,920 Speaker 1: there will be. There will be a discussion about you 1787 01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,240 Speaker 1: about this greater in YouTube. But at the end of 1788 01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:40,640 Speaker 1: the day, um, trying to get anybody's channel taken down, uh, 1789 01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:46,320 Speaker 1: simply because you don't like what they're saying. And my 1790 01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:49,200 Speaker 1: opinion is kind of productive, which is why I just 1791 01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:53,560 Speaker 1: completely stay away from all beefs yea and I and 1792 01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:58,479 Speaker 1: I will say personally, if anybody in men's content has 1793 01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:01,000 Speaker 1: if anybody has a reason to want to take people 1794 01:46:01,040 --> 01:46:03,519 Speaker 1: down and strike people down and say crazy things and 1795 01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,599 Speaker 1: shut stuff down, and I think I think I would 1796 01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:10,639 Speaker 1: have a good case for it. But but it's it's bigger, 1797 01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:14,040 Speaker 1: It's bigger than this. So um, at the end of 1798 01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:17,080 Speaker 1: the day, I think it's going to do more harm 1799 01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:22,519 Speaker 1: than good because you should be able to discuss things 1800 01:46:22,600 --> 01:46:24,840 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. You know, we don't make peace with 1801 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:28,639 Speaker 1: our friends, we make peace with our enemies. Or people 1802 01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,519 Speaker 1: we disagree with. So I think it will be better 1803 01:46:31,960 --> 01:46:35,559 Speaker 1: off overall if people could sit down and talk behind 1804 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:38,320 Speaker 1: the scenes. And I don't know many people who would 1805 01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:40,719 Speaker 1: not be willing to talk. But once it goes public 1806 01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:45,360 Speaker 1: like this, then it makes people draw sides. Yes, there 1807 01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:50,639 Speaker 1: is fair use, and then there's retaliation and censorship. That's 1808 01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:53,840 Speaker 1: that's the question. Is this really a fair use case 1809 01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:57,400 Speaker 1: or is this censorship and retaliation? And I don't care 1810 01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:00,320 Speaker 1: what side of the camp you come down, who's content 1811 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:04,320 Speaker 1: you watch, if you're if you're a fan of the 1812 01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:08,360 Speaker 1: particular content creators who react, or if you're a particular 1813 01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:11,200 Speaker 1: fan of the originator, I don't think. I don't think 1814 01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:16,439 Speaker 1: any of us benefit from retaliation and censorship. So what's happening. 1815 01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:20,240 Speaker 1: What's happening is is that they're striking someone that is 1816 01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:23,280 Speaker 1: critical of the things that they're saying. Right, So someone 1817 01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:27,880 Speaker 1: is evidently um pointing out certain things and trying to 1818 01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:31,240 Speaker 1: prove certain things about them, and so they're striking them 1819 01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:42,080 Speaker 1: for um. So basically they're there un so they're striking 1820 01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:50,800 Speaker 1: them right, they're miscategorizing UM, they're miscategorizing the issue at hand, 1821 01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:54,519 Speaker 1: So they're using the system, they're using the system. That's 1822 01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:58,640 Speaker 1: what's happening. A release from the guccis he wrote a screenplay. 1823 01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:02,719 Speaker 1: Really Scott picked it up up. Alfacino's in this, Lady 1824 01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:05,400 Speaker 1: Gaga's in this. This thing is doing numbers. You know, 1825 01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:07,400 Speaker 1: if the Gucci family came back and said, even though 1826 01:48:07,439 --> 01:48:09,400 Speaker 1: they don't have a release, they said, you know what, 1827 01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:11,040 Speaker 1: we didn't like the way were depicted in it. But 1828 01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:14,080 Speaker 1: they let alone because they're fucking Gucci, right. They don't 1829 01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:17,000 Speaker 1: want to get tied up in this. And that's kind 1830 01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,120 Speaker 1: of the thing. It's like, there's been plenty of things 1831 01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:22,679 Speaker 1: that if someone can see that you don't like, it's 1832 01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:25,519 Speaker 1: it's a bigger picture. You gotta look at this long term. 1833 01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:29,880 Speaker 1: And I want to say this too to the people 1834 01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:35,439 Speaker 1: who make content who is primarily reaction or that kind 1835 01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:39,400 Speaker 1: of thing. Um, you need to understand fair use a 1836 01:48:39,479 --> 01:48:43,520 Speaker 1: lot because anytime you use anyone's content right, wrong, or indifferent, 1837 01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:49,639 Speaker 1: you run that potential risk. But it really shouldn't rise 1838 01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:51,680 Speaker 1: to the level. That's why you said. I like what 1839 01:48:51,760 --> 01:48:53,760 Speaker 1: you said. It doesn't matter about good faith of this 1840 01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,000 Speaker 1: is that it comes down to the law. Right, did 1841 01:48:56,040 --> 01:48:59,840 Speaker 1: you transform it? Are the elements there and more? Off 1842 01:48:59,880 --> 01:49:04,160 Speaker 1: the not you know, um, I just say, let most things, 1843 01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:07,760 Speaker 1: most things lead of the of the on any given 1844 01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:12,120 Speaker 1: one day, there are anyway no I hear you, I 1845 01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:14,160 Speaker 1: hear it's less than one less than one tenth or 1846 01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:17,080 Speaker 1: one percent of stuff that actually gets removed, and it's 1847 01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:19,799 Speaker 1: only for the most egregious stuff. And that's really just mirroring. 1848 01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:22,559 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thinks that's fair. You still, that's 1849 01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:26,560 Speaker 1: just straight up piracy. Yeah. So mirroring for those of 1850 01:49:26,640 --> 01:49:29,080 Speaker 1: you that's unaware, is where someone to take like my 1851 01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:32,160 Speaker 1: podcasts and go to stream in it and have what 1852 01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:35,120 Speaker 1: they call a watch party on Facebook or something like that. 1853 01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:38,759 Speaker 1: That's stilling of my content, and it cuts the legs 1854 01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:41,200 Speaker 1: off my content. You start out with a thousand in 1855 01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:45,120 Speaker 1: January and a hundred thousand congratulations, but at some point 1856 01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:49,640 Speaker 1: you start to it starts to be significant. It's not 1857 01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:54,000 Speaker 1: just it's not just leakage. It becomes a real concern. 1858 01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:59,000 Speaker 1: And that's why I often and see y'all got Kevin Samuels. 1859 01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:03,040 Speaker 1: Y'all got Kevin Samuel's messed up from from the jump. 1860 01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:07,160 Speaker 1: Kevin Samuers is business. He running the business, y'all getting 1861 01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,479 Speaker 1: on that talking and key keying kay Kaine telling you 1862 01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:12,679 Speaker 1: being but he making six seven figures a year all 1863 01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:15,320 Speaker 1: of that. You see what I'm saying the same thing 1864 01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,000 Speaker 1: with Loan, y'all think Loan kicking and screaming about what's 1865 01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:21,639 Speaker 1: going on in the culture. Loan is preparing a business. 1866 01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:23,759 Speaker 1: I'm putting a cake in of and I know exactly 1867 01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:27,040 Speaker 1: what it is I'm doing. Um And Kevin Samuels has 1868 01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:29,960 Speaker 1: been able to provide himself a luxury lifestyle off this, 1869 01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, So you gotta make sure to understand that 1870 01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:37,200 Speaker 1: I've run streams. I've run business to where I in 1871 01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:40,080 Speaker 1: my stream at midnight and then the best parts of 1872 01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:43,160 Speaker 1: my stuff is up on somebody's channel at seven o'clock 1873 01:50:43,200 --> 01:50:45,640 Speaker 1: in the morning. I'm like, wait a minute, So you 1874 01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:47,280 Speaker 1: just came over here and you took you took the 1875 01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:49,560 Speaker 1: drumstick and ran with it. I don't even get to 1876 01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:54,160 Speaker 1: get off my own content. And if it's not try 1877 01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:57,880 Speaker 1: if it's transformative and fair use they make him do it, 1878 01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:01,760 Speaker 1: but it does become my case. This is if you're 1879 01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:04,840 Speaker 1: full time at this. This is why I'm going to 1880 01:51:04,920 --> 01:51:07,439 Speaker 1: sign on the people who are full time content creating, 1881 01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:11,479 Speaker 1: people like oh Shay, Duke Jackson and even guys over 1882 01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:16,480 Speaker 1: down down in Miami, when you have significant investment in infrastructure, 1883 01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:20,640 Speaker 1: people planning personnel, flights, booking, such and so forth, and 1884 01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:23,720 Speaker 1: then someone can just take your product your product and 1885 01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:26,400 Speaker 1: simply posted on their channel and say oh this is 1886 01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:30,400 Speaker 1: dope and get hundreds thousands of dollars views, such and 1887 01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,639 Speaker 1: so forth. You couldn't do that with Marble, you couldn't 1888 01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:37,760 Speaker 1: do it with you could not do it with a 1889 01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:42,640 Speaker 1: recording artist. So I think, I mean, it will be 1890 01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:47,320 Speaker 1: good to where they with the content match system gets 1891 01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:49,759 Speaker 1: to a point to where it can, you know, notice 1892 01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:52,800 Speaker 1: the difference. But it just I don't think it ever 1893 01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:57,679 Speaker 1: will get to that point because YouTube has so much content. 1894 01:51:58,520 --> 01:52:01,080 Speaker 1: But in the end, it is up to the person 1895 01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:05,439 Speaker 1: using the copyright tool to file a complaint to know 1896 01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:09,160 Speaker 1: that you are doing this and you are legally justified. 1897 01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:12,880 Speaker 1: You don't know that, then they don't. All this stuff 1898 01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:16,639 Speaker 1: is moot because when you start that process, you're saying 1899 01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:20,000 Speaker 1: that they've taken your stuff. You're saying you've reviewed all 1900 01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:23,280 Speaker 1: this other stuff. And like some of the things I've seen, 1901 01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:26,160 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, you can be you can be 1902 01:52:26,320 --> 01:52:29,360 Speaker 1: in a bad way if you're using the system outside 1903 01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:32,960 Speaker 1: of the original purpose. So everybody needs to understand what 1904 01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:37,840 Speaker 1: that that what they're playing with because the men's this 1905 01:52:38,080 --> 01:52:43,680 Speaker 1: men's content, as it were, it's growing. Um And But 1906 01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:47,120 Speaker 1: just like any other sector, you can't just go respond 1907 01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:51,759 Speaker 1: to um Joe Rogan stuff. There's there's content creators on YouTube, 1908 01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:56,519 Speaker 1: Philip DeFranco, and you just uh uh even DJ bladd 1909 01:52:56,640 --> 01:52:59,000 Speaker 1: you just can't go take people's stuff just because you 1910 01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:03,479 Speaker 1: watch it. And I would, I would just say, just 1911 01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:06,840 Speaker 1: know the systems you're dealing with, regardless as to your 1912 01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:09,759 Speaker 1: if this is full time, part time, or whatever, because 1913 01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:13,920 Speaker 1: everybody tends to want the same thing, a fair shot, 1914 01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:17,360 Speaker 1: a fair shake. So shut out to Kevin Samuels for that. Man, 1915 01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:20,080 Speaker 1: that was a lot of good game. Like I say, man, 1916 01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:25,639 Speaker 1: understand what you're getting yourself into. Man, Understand fair usage, 1917 01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:30,439 Speaker 1: Understand that um how to use the copyright to understand 1918 01:53:30,479 --> 01:53:33,519 Speaker 1: because it's people that are like me. I always tell y'all, 1919 01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:37,360 Speaker 1: my fight down isn't the audience thing because my audience 1920 01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:41,320 Speaker 1: is coming right. It's more so centralized in the audience. 1921 01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:47,400 Speaker 1: So I think I get seven hundred thousand of views 1922 01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:52,360 Speaker 1: a day on TikTok somewhere in the hundreds of thousands 1923 01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:57,480 Speaker 1: on Instagram, Facebook. You know, my video was now exclusively 1924 01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:01,719 Speaker 1: only on Patreon, shameless plug get that to support my video. 1925 01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:06,920 Speaker 1: It's about centralizing my audience, right, meaning getting everybody in 1926 01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:12,479 Speaker 1: one place and then also training them of what support 1927 01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,519 Speaker 1: looks like. You know, when you hear him speak, you 1928 01:54:15,800 --> 01:54:19,439 Speaker 1: hear him speak about people building something that takes a 1929 01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,400 Speaker 1: very long time. Joe Rogan, you can't respond to him 1930 01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:26,080 Speaker 1: at all. Just for context on that, you cannot respond 1931 01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:31,400 Speaker 1: to Joe Rogan.

I was thinking too, men 2094 02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:37,920 Speaker 1: about you know, the game just rapped, Um, how the 2095 02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:40,720 Speaker 1: chips have fallen, and how the South looks, what the 2096 02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:45,200 Speaker 1: South looks like, just in regards to rappers, exacts, things 2097 02:04:45,320 --> 02:04:47,680 Speaker 1: like that. And I had a question and I want 2098 02:04:47,720 --> 02:04:50,200 Speaker 1: to present this question to the world again. It's up 2099 02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:54,440 Speaker 1: the podcast with the conversation starters. We don't we don't 2100 02:04:54,480 --> 02:04:58,960 Speaker 1: make a living with our content basically just reposting people 2101 02:04:59,120 --> 02:05:05,120 Speaker 1: content or you know, regurgitating content we created. And I 2102 02:05:05,240 --> 02:05:08,800 Speaker 1: think that needs to be noted prior to me doing 2103 02:05:08,880 --> 02:05:12,040 Speaker 1: so with some of these conversations like right now. But 2104 02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking, man in the South, who who would 2105 02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:18,120 Speaker 1: people say? Right now? In real time? I know that 2106 02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:22,520 Speaker 1: none of these guys stories are done, so we're prematurely 2107 02:05:22,680 --> 02:05:25,360 Speaker 1: doing so. But for the sacred conversation and because I 2108 02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:28,000 Speaker 1: have a podcast in a certain space in the game, 2109 02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:35,920 Speaker 1: you ask yourself, who's the best exact in the South. 2110 02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:42,600 Speaker 1: Right now, we're looking at QCP, we're looking at Gucci, 2111 02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:48,320 Speaker 1: we're looking at YO. Got it out of those three guys, 2112 02:05:48,360 --> 02:05:51,320 Speaker 1: and if I'm missing any other, I know Carl Crawford's 2113 02:05:51,360 --> 02:05:55,000 Speaker 1: out there. He's doing pretty. He's doing good down in Texas, 2114 02:05:57,080 --> 02:06:00,400 Speaker 1: just from exact standpoint, and not not the old school 2115 02:06:00,440 --> 02:06:02,840 Speaker 1: guy I'm talking about, like in the new realm, I think, 2116 02:06:03,360 --> 02:06:06,320 Speaker 1: and you got and you got a South Coast Music Group. 2117 02:06:06,520 --> 02:06:09,480 Speaker 1: You know, Arno, Tayloring, them doing the hell of a job. 2118 02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:13,520 Speaker 1: But you ask yourself because he what he's doing with 2119 02:06:13,640 --> 02:06:15,640 Speaker 1: Tussie is the same thing he did with Baby, and 2120 02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:18,240 Speaker 1: so Tussie's having his time than the next person I 2121 02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:21,600 Speaker 1: had that time. He's building something that's a machine over 2122 02:06:21,680 --> 02:06:25,080 Speaker 1: at South Coast Music Group, definitely. But when I look 2123 02:06:25,120 --> 02:06:28,120 Speaker 1: at it, I say, who's the best or not the best, 2124 02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:31,960 Speaker 1: who's the most effective? Because I don't best pits us 2125 02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:36,520 Speaker 1: against each other. Effective identifies our attributes, and so I 2126 02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:39,320 Speaker 1: want to be more so in a position not to 2127 02:06:39,480 --> 02:06:43,080 Speaker 1: pit us up against each other, but identify attributes so 2128 02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:49,480 Speaker 1: that increases our probability for success. Right, So I look 2129 02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:53,040 Speaker 1: at QCP and I'm like, yo, Wow, it's hard to 2130 02:06:53,080 --> 02:06:56,560 Speaker 1: put somebody next to that boy when we're talking. Then 2131 02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:58,680 Speaker 1: you throw yo gout in the head like yo, I 2132 02:06:58,720 --> 02:07:02,320 Speaker 1: don't know now. Then you throw Gucci in that had name. 2133 02:07:02,560 --> 02:07:05,720 Speaker 1: When I look at Gucci, and I'll start with Gucci, 2134 02:07:05,800 --> 02:07:10,000 Speaker 1: but when I look at Gucci, I'll say any other exact, 2135 02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:15,840 Speaker 1: what a been out of order? Right now? You gotta 2136 02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:18,840 Speaker 1: think the two guys, the main two guys out of 2137 02:07:18,880 --> 02:07:21,960 Speaker 1: his new wave are in prison Fujiano and Pooh Shister. 2138 02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:25,520 Speaker 1: He was able to that quick door Audible put two 2139 02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:28,560 Speaker 1: more dues right there, the big walk Dog, somebody else, 2140 02:07:28,960 --> 02:07:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, hot Boar, West side of Texas, this guy, 2141 02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:34,960 Speaker 1: and they may not have passed propelled to the push 2142 02:07:34,960 --> 02:07:38,080 Speaker 1: shice in them level, but they're feeling avoiding and they're 2143 02:07:38,120 --> 02:07:41,280 Speaker 1: bringing an income as an exact. That's a power move, 2144 02:07:41,440 --> 02:07:44,720 Speaker 1: especially that quick. And then you get still waiting on 2145 02:07:44,840 --> 02:07:46,880 Speaker 1: shisting them to get out. There be probably some of 2146 02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:49,120 Speaker 1: the biggest artists when they get out still under this 2147 02:07:49,240 --> 02:07:56,280 Speaker 1: same situation. Right. So his ability to his turnover, God, 2148 02:07:56,320 --> 02:07:58,440 Speaker 1: it takes a little bit more time with his artists. 2149 02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:00,560 Speaker 1: He put him in the oven, keep him around for 2150 02:08:00,640 --> 02:08:03,000 Speaker 1: a little while kind of promo to him a little bit. 2151 02:08:03,560 --> 02:08:05,920 Speaker 1: Next thing you know, there's an announcement. There's a sign 2152 02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:08,880 Speaker 1: in public sign and announcement. Next thing you know, there's 2153 02:08:08,880 --> 02:08:11,480 Speaker 1: a single. Right. So he kind of does the old 2154 02:08:11,640 --> 02:08:18,640 Speaker 1: fashioned um artist development, but in a faster way than 2155 02:08:18,720 --> 02:08:21,200 Speaker 1: back in the day. Right. But when you and you 2156 02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:24,240 Speaker 1: look at QCP, it's just like he can run you 2157 02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:27,080 Speaker 1: right through the ring and it's a YO, gotta kind 2158 02:08:27,120 --> 02:08:31,040 Speaker 1: of got some of the QCP game because QCPA get you, 2159 02:08:31,280 --> 02:08:33,560 Speaker 1: get you a future with he used, he used the 2160 02:08:33,640 --> 02:08:37,560 Speaker 1: people on his label, put features around you.

Everything 2247 02:13:17,080 --> 02:13:19,880 Speaker 1: Pete got over was no bodders with no co signing. 2248 02:13:19,920 --> 02:13:22,280 Speaker 1: I mean I when I say noboddies, I mean far 2249 02:13:22,320 --> 02:13:25,280 Speaker 1: as rap industry wise, I ain't talking about street niggas. 2250 02:13:25,320 --> 02:13:27,440 Speaker 1: Whatever they was in the street, that ain't my business. 2251 02:13:27,800 --> 02:13:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm dealing with the information for the babies and the 2252 02:13:30,200 --> 02:13:32,960 Speaker 1: people that need to know how to navigate the industry 2253 02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:36,240 Speaker 1: and understand what's going on. But in the industry, them 2254 02:13:36,320 --> 02:13:39,760 Speaker 1: dudes weren't nothing. Everybody on QC the me goals wasn't nothing. 2255 02:13:41,680 --> 02:13:46,400 Speaker 1: Uh baby, wasn't nothing far as sales, far as a business. 2256 02:13:47,080 --> 02:13:49,960 Speaker 1: Um City girls won none, y'all that none of that 2257 02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:54,000 Speaker 1: ship wasn't none. Then was unknown ax and they wasn't 2258 02:13:54,040 --> 02:13:56,200 Speaker 1: even a kind of axe. You gotta also remember in 2259 02:13:56,280 --> 02:14:02,200 Speaker 1: the game, right, dudes used to steal people artists and 2260 02:14:02,360 --> 02:14:05,120 Speaker 1: get credit for breaking an artist. Right. I'll give you 2261 02:14:05,160 --> 02:14:08,520 Speaker 1: an example. You have someone like young Buck that come 2262 02:14:08,600 --> 02:14:12,400 Speaker 1: from my time. He really running around with cash money. 2263 02:14:13,360 --> 02:14:15,919 Speaker 1: Then that don't work. He really run around with juvenile. 2264 02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:19,160 Speaker 1: So what's happened is he's a free agent right in 2265 02:14:19,280 --> 02:14:23,400 Speaker 1: the mind of people that's in the industry. He's not 2266 02:14:23,520 --> 02:14:26,760 Speaker 1: a free agent really though, because he's riding with a crew. 2267 02:14:26,960 --> 02:14:30,800 Speaker 1: But what happens is they identify the talent. So what 2268 02:14:31,120 --> 02:14:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying is they not really identifying the real talent. 2269 02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:37,520 Speaker 1: They're taking what you've identified and taking it from you. 2270 02:14:38,160 --> 02:14:44,040 Speaker 1: So it wasn't fitted at discovered Buck, and most times 2271 02:14:44,080 --> 02:14:47,160 Speaker 1: it happens like that, it was cash money, and then 2272 02:14:47,240 --> 02:14:49,360 Speaker 1: he was with juvenile which put him on the bus 2273 02:14:49,440 --> 02:14:52,360 Speaker 1: with Buck and they ran into each other. So you know, 2274 02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:56,960 Speaker 1: the ability to really know and really take an artist 2275 02:14:57,040 --> 02:14:59,840 Speaker 1: that has none of that around them, none of that. 2276 02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:02,120 Speaker 1: I was with Babe, I was on tour. I know 2277 02:15:02,200 --> 02:15:03,800 Speaker 1: how to do the promo thing. Yeah, I know how 2278 02:15:03,840 --> 02:15:06,240 Speaker 1: to do DJ drops, that's nothing. I know exactly what 2279 02:15:06,360 --> 02:15:08,280 Speaker 1: the ad liville is. I know where to double it up. 2280 02:15:08,320 --> 02:15:10,520 Speaker 1: I know what a quarter to lay. These niggas know 2281 02:15:10,640 --> 02:15:12,400 Speaker 1: nothing about it. They just coming out of the street 2282 02:15:12,480 --> 02:15:15,840 Speaker 1: rapping and they doing they won two and next thing 2283 02:15:15,920 --> 02:15:17,800 Speaker 1: you know, they get what dude, dude put some money 2284 02:15:17,840 --> 02:15:19,280 Speaker 1: in the mark and then they come over here and 2285 02:15:19,320 --> 02:15:21,320 Speaker 1: next thing you know, the song take all Drake jump 2286 02:15:21,400 --> 02:15:23,680 Speaker 1: on it. But see the Drake thing jumping on it. 2287 02:15:24,320 --> 02:15:27,640 Speaker 1: You gotta remember when we look at Drake jumping on 2288 02:15:27,800 --> 02:15:30,600 Speaker 1: records at that time and not even that time, even 2289 02:15:30,680 --> 02:15:32,680 Speaker 1: up until this day. If Drake jump on a song 2290 02:15:33,200 --> 02:15:36,840 Speaker 1: and you don't take care of your business, that'll be 2291 02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:42,280 Speaker 1: your only song. Drake jumped on that Megos record thinking 2292 02:15:42,360 --> 02:15:46,879 Speaker 1: may have been Hannaman vasa Versacha thing. He jumped on Versach, 2293 02:15:47,400 --> 02:15:49,840 Speaker 1: But shit, that's one song. Them dudes had to come 2294 02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:53,120 Speaker 1: boom bound, hit again, hit again, hit again, fight night, 2295 02:15:53,240 --> 02:15:55,520 Speaker 1: this that bad and booshe they had to keep coming. 2296 02:15:56,760 --> 02:16:02,680 Speaker 1: But again, unproven acts over at QC, even with Gucci 2297 02:16:03,360 --> 02:16:08,000 Speaker 1: Guca don't necessarily have really these last two dudes ain't 2298 02:16:08,040 --> 02:16:11,440 Speaker 1: really necessarily unproven acts. I think one of the hot 2299 02:16:11,520 --> 02:16:14,160 Speaker 1: boy West was running around with trap boy Freddie and 2300 02:16:14,360 --> 02:16:17,680 Speaker 1: his little crew and in that area and the big 2301 02:16:17,800 --> 02:16:19,960 Speaker 1: walk Dog. I'm not sure where he was from. But 2302 02:16:20,400 --> 02:16:22,840 Speaker 1: these dudes kind of bubbling a little bit, SHYSTI with 2303 02:16:22,960 --> 02:16:24,800 Speaker 1: bubbling a little bit, and now they on a small 2304 02:16:24,960 --> 02:16:27,520 Speaker 1: scale and you gotta be doing that is still a 2305 02:16:27,600 --> 02:16:29,640 Speaker 1: talent in that because it's so much of that shit, 2306 02:16:30,080 --> 02:16:33,320 Speaker 1: it's over saturated down now again, all three of these 2307 02:16:33,400 --> 02:16:39,000 Speaker 1: guys got a different approach. But um, but I think 2308 02:16:40,600 --> 02:16:42,320 Speaker 1: I just don't know who the best. When we deal 2309 02:16:42,400 --> 02:16:48,120 Speaker 1: with Arnold Taylor at over at South Coast Music Group 2310 02:16:48,200 --> 02:16:50,320 Speaker 1: and shout out the chorus bars, it's my guy, been 2311 02:16:50,440 --> 02:16:53,840 Speaker 1: my guy for a long time. Um, you deal with 2312 02:16:54,080 --> 02:16:57,960 Speaker 1: what seems like artist development as well, and you also 2313 02:16:58,080 --> 02:17:01,520 Speaker 1: seem to be dealing with someone who who is taking 2314 02:17:01,560 --> 02:17:05,600 Speaker 1: that traditional take you to almost every radio station, get 2315 02:17:05,640 --> 02:17:09,680 Speaker 1: your plant, get you plannet with the foe, because then 2316 02:17:09,760 --> 02:17:12,000 Speaker 1: it's the same. You gotta think his range is crazy, 2317 02:17:12,040 --> 02:17:14,600 Speaker 1: because he's still you might still pop up on TNT 2318 02:17:14,840 --> 02:17:18,040 Speaker 1: on some basketball till but then I might hear you 2319 02:17:18,160 --> 02:17:22,160 Speaker 1: laid on at a radio station in Kentucky. You know. 2320 02:17:22,280 --> 02:17:24,800 Speaker 1: So he's doing a certain level of artist development. But 2321 02:17:24,920 --> 02:17:29,920 Speaker 1: I think, unlike Gucci, who I think is into having 2322 02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:34,000 Speaker 1: a label full of like just good streaming artists, it 2323 02:17:34,200 --> 02:17:38,640 Speaker 1: feels like Arnold Taylor is into making superstars. He want 2324 02:17:38,680 --> 02:17:40,520 Speaker 1: to take his time and make a star out of 2325 02:17:40,600 --> 02:17:43,039 Speaker 1: each one of these people. Give him all their little 2326 02:17:43,080 --> 02:17:46,000 Speaker 1: time and try to make a star out of these people. God, 2327 02:17:46,080 --> 02:17:49,480 Speaker 1: it seems to want a niche. Niche you out right, 2328 02:17:49,600 --> 02:17:52,200 Speaker 1: so you wrapped and find your niche and we're gonna 2329 02:17:52,240 --> 02:17:56,560 Speaker 1: super serve your niche. When we deal with QC, kind 2330 02:17:56,600 --> 02:17:59,120 Speaker 1: of feels the same. But I also see him cross 2331 02:17:59,200 --> 02:18:01,800 Speaker 1: over too, So he seems like he wants to take 2332 02:18:01,920 --> 02:18:06,320 Speaker 1: street dudes, not commercialize them, but give them opportunity to 2333 02:18:06,440 --> 02:18:09,440 Speaker 1: stand next to brands as street dudes or as cold 2334 02:18:09,560 --> 02:18:13,720 Speaker 1: dudes from the culture. Right. And so again with all 2335 02:18:13,760 --> 02:18:15,840 Speaker 1: those dudes, I just think they're doing a great job 2336 02:18:16,800 --> 02:18:19,320 Speaker 1: generating a lot of money for the music industry to 2337 02:18:19,480 --> 02:18:22,520 Speaker 1: market share. That's why I say, man, the South is 2338 02:18:22,560 --> 02:18:24,920 Speaker 1: in this crazy position, bro, and we're gonna do the 2339 02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:27,760 Speaker 1: same with podcasting that I'm gonna make sure that you 2340 02:18:27,800 --> 02:18:30,320 Speaker 1: know what I mean. But I just had that question 2341 02:18:30,400 --> 02:18:33,560 Speaker 1: on my mind, man, with them dudes being so hustling, 2342 02:18:33,680 --> 02:18:36,040 Speaker 1: so well, you know what I mean. All right, So 2343 02:18:36,400 --> 02:18:40,400 Speaker 1: my next topic today on this up that podcast will 2344 02:18:40,480 --> 02:18:46,120 Speaker 1: be NBA Young Boy. For those of you that may 2345 02:18:46,200 --> 02:18:49,360 Speaker 1: not know, NBA Young Boy is out of jail on bond, 2346 02:18:49,920 --> 02:18:54,880 Speaker 1: federal bond. Is in a situation where I think got 2347 02:18:54,920 --> 02:18:58,400 Speaker 1: a federal gun charge out they called him in California, 2348 02:18:58,600 --> 02:19:01,720 Speaker 1: some other things. The gun charge in California they have 2349 02:19:01,840 --> 02:19:04,600 Speaker 1: him owned, but also a video shoot. They were able 2350 02:19:04,720 --> 02:19:07,680 Speaker 1: to catch him with some guns at a video shoot 2351 02:19:07,720 --> 02:19:09,840 Speaker 1: and say that he was a felon in possession of 2352 02:19:09,920 --> 02:19:13,720 Speaker 1: a weapon. Very unique case for fears to go after 2353 02:19:14,080 --> 02:19:17,520 Speaker 1: for such a high profile individual. I think that speaks 2354 02:19:17,920 --> 02:19:23,600 Speaker 1: volumes as to the eagerness of law enforcement to wrap 2355 02:19:23,760 --> 02:19:27,640 Speaker 1: or charge around an NBA Young Boy. Now, with that 2356 02:19:27,800 --> 02:19:30,920 Speaker 1: being said, if you're looking at the screen right now, 2357 02:19:32,720 --> 02:19:35,440 Speaker 1: NBA Young Boy has now came out and started to 2358 02:19:36,879 --> 02:19:42,680 Speaker 1: have makeup on a lot of fans are questioning, you know, 2359 02:19:43,080 --> 02:19:48,160 Speaker 1: what are you doing? What's that about? You know NBA 2360 02:19:48,240 --> 02:19:50,320 Speaker 1: young boys keeping his same kind of vibe he I 2361 02:19:50,320 --> 02:19:52,920 Speaker 1: always have, like he don't care what nobody say or think, 2362 02:19:53,000 --> 02:20:00,320 Speaker 1: and things like that. When I view it again, always 2363 02:20:00,360 --> 02:20:03,920 Speaker 1: look at things from different perspectives, you know, I know 2364 02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:08,880 Speaker 1: every every action has a reaction, equal or equal or opposite, 2365 02:20:09,000 --> 02:20:11,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So with knowing that, when 2366 02:20:11,360 --> 02:20:18,480 Speaker 1: I see something like this, when I see something like that, 2367 02:20:18,600 --> 02:20:21,000 Speaker 1: I asked myself, are we dealing with someone that's trying 2368 02:20:21,080 --> 02:20:25,760 Speaker 1: to shake the industry? And when I mean shake the industry, 2369 02:20:25,879 --> 02:20:29,279 Speaker 1: like a lot of people want to get in the industry, 2370 02:20:29,320 --> 02:20:32,240 Speaker 1: They want to be rappers, they want to be a 2371 02:20:32,360 --> 02:20:37,880 Speaker 1: part of things, but it only magnifies who you are. Right, 2372 02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:42,400 Speaker 1: So if if if I surround myself around shooters and 2373 02:20:42,480 --> 02:20:45,200 Speaker 1: I get some money, we're gonna take everybody the war, 2374 02:20:46,959 --> 02:20:50,280 Speaker 1: right when we're gonna feel unstoppable like DM makes going 2375 02:20:50,360 --> 02:20:52,000 Speaker 1: through the light, like you know what I mean, Fuck 2376 02:20:52,080 --> 02:20:56,680 Speaker 1: these police sneaka day can't pump police can't. You're gonna 2377 02:20:56,760 --> 02:21:00,600 Speaker 1: feel that right if you are all ready that you 2378 02:21:00,760 --> 02:21:03,480 Speaker 1: just broke. So a lot of people are already that 2379 02:21:03,720 --> 02:21:07,200 Speaker 1: they just broke, you know, whatever that is that they 2380 02:21:07,280 --> 02:21:10,320 Speaker 1: may be, they already that they just broke. So when 2381 02:21:10,400 --> 02:21:14,480 Speaker 1: you broke, sometimes you gotta suppress what you are, right, 2382 02:21:17,640 --> 02:21:21,160 Speaker 1: And so I wonder does NBA young boy sometimes think 2383 02:21:21,240 --> 02:21:24,840 Speaker 1: that rap is the root of his issues. It's also 2384 02:21:25,160 --> 02:21:28,000 Speaker 1: the root of his success and its financial liberation, but 2385 02:21:28,840 --> 02:21:31,120 Speaker 1: it could be viewed also it's the root of my issues, 2386 02:21:31,240 --> 02:21:34,119 Speaker 1: Like I go to talking about this and then I'm 2387 02:21:34,160 --> 02:21:36,200 Speaker 1: standing on this and I'm acting like I'm doing this, 2388 02:21:36,360 --> 02:21:39,800 Speaker 1: I'm doing that and everything I've ran into being kind 2389 02:21:39,840 --> 02:21:42,520 Speaker 1: of because of rap, you know. So what can I 2390 02:21:42,600 --> 02:21:45,840 Speaker 1: do to make them stop sucking with me? Mine? Ready? Rich? 2391 02:21:45,920 --> 02:21:48,840 Speaker 1: Then my deal ain't really no good man? What can 2392 02:21:48,879 --> 02:21:50,960 Speaker 1: I do to make them stop sucking with me? Like, 2393 02:21:51,040 --> 02:21:54,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing shit because I'm tired of this shit, 2394 02:21:55,000 --> 02:21:57,640 Speaker 1: really tired of this industry. I'm tired of the rap shit. 2395 02:21:58,320 --> 02:22:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, they pulling up my video, getting my video director, 2396 02:22:01,440 --> 02:22:04,400 Speaker 1: dudes getting serial numbers off pictures and this and that, 2397 02:22:04,600 --> 02:22:08,160 Speaker 1: like all because of this rap shit, you know what 2398 02:22:08,200 --> 02:22:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean. So sometimes, you know, and if you listen 2399 02:22:11,120 --> 02:22:13,160 Speaker 1: to him, sometimes he comes off like he don't really 2400 02:22:13,200 --> 02:22:15,520 Speaker 1: care about the rap or you don't care about the 2401 02:22:15,680 --> 02:22:19,240 Speaker 1: music for real no more. It's just like, man, it's 2402 02:22:19,280 --> 02:22:21,280 Speaker 1: a lot of issues.

Of course, Um, they had 2435 02:23:59,360 --> 02:24:01,600 Speaker 1: an interview with Sugar Knight. Of course Black one hundred 2436 02:24:01,600 --> 02:24:04,879 Speaker 1: and Shug Knight been going there at Sugar Knight, according 2437 02:24:04,920 --> 02:24:07,880 Speaker 1: to Takash, has reached out to him as where Um, 2438 02:24:07,959 --> 02:24:10,440 Speaker 1: Sugar Knight now has twenty eight years for showing up 2439 02:24:10,480 --> 02:24:15,840 Speaker 1: on Doctor Dre's movie set of NWA getting into it 2440 02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:19,199 Speaker 1: with a guy. Guy supposedly wanted you know the fathe 2441 02:24:19,280 --> 02:24:23,240 Speaker 1: from Sugar is what they're saying. Approach Sugar and I 2442 02:24:23,320 --> 02:24:26,560 Speaker 1: guess may have had a file on hit Sugar and 2443 02:24:26,640 --> 02:24:29,800 Speaker 1: try to get him out the car and Sugar smashed out, 2444 02:24:29,879 --> 02:24:33,400 Speaker 1: ran over someone and it's now in prison for twenty 2445 02:24:33,480 --> 02:24:36,840 Speaker 1: eight years. Um that he gets out when he's about 2446 02:24:36,879 --> 02:24:40,360 Speaker 1: seventy years old. So this is a unique situation. Sugar 2447 02:24:40,480 --> 02:24:45,320 Speaker 1: Knight Man in this game as well, was a beast. Sugar. 2448 02:24:45,400 --> 02:24:49,400 Speaker 1: Now we're running around switching folk deals up. Man, you 2449 02:24:49,480 --> 02:24:52,119 Speaker 1: gotta think when you got the order, what nigga scared 2450 02:24:52,160 --> 02:24:55,880 Speaker 1: of your wife? Folk? Definitely scared of you. No, I 2451 02:24:55,920 --> 02:24:58,440 Speaker 1: mean once he move around the hood that niggas are scared? 2452 02:24:58,520 --> 02:25:03,520 Speaker 1: Are you white folks? Gid So he was able to 2453 02:25:03,600 --> 02:25:06,920 Speaker 1: go in there a lot of tasks, probably not even 2454 02:25:07,080 --> 02:25:10,440 Speaker 1: knowing that the aura now he knew, he knew, he 2455 02:25:10,560 --> 02:25:14,880 Speaker 1: knew the aura surrounding him made the conversations different with him. 2456 02:25:14,920 --> 02:25:17,600 Speaker 1: In certain labels and radio stations and things like that, 2457 02:25:17,760 --> 02:25:20,320 Speaker 1: they would handle him in a way that they wouldn't 2458 02:25:20,360 --> 02:25:24,400 Speaker 1: handle a regular artist and things like that. And so 2459 02:25:25,080 --> 02:25:29,640 Speaker 1: consequently sug ended ended up running into a lot of 2460 02:25:29,720 --> 02:25:33,120 Speaker 1: red tape, you know. Um, So we're gonna listen to 2461 02:25:33,200 --> 02:25:35,320 Speaker 1: a little small part of the interview with Willow and 2462 02:25:35,360 --> 02:25:37,040 Speaker 1: then come back and then we'll get out of him. 2463 02:25:37,240 --> 02:25:40,360 Speaker 1: It's only obvious why certain people never go to prison 2464 02:25:40,840 --> 02:25:44,720 Speaker 1: or never go to jail. Well, I decided to take 2465 02:25:45,680 --> 02:25:48,680 Speaker 1: rap music against rap music, kiprops the radio. They told 2466 02:25:48,720 --> 02:25:53,520 Speaker 1: me would never work. I may should work. I was 2467 02:25:53,720 --> 02:25:59,160 Speaker 1: getting ninety five percent to ninety seven percent. Ninety seven 2468 02:25:59,160 --> 02:26:01,800 Speaker 1: percent of stuff on the radio is my step somebody 2469 02:26:01,840 --> 02:26:04,800 Speaker 1: else manage. You said, who take that back? Take that back? 2470 02:26:04,840 --> 02:26:07,840 Speaker 1: Should you said? You said you take that back? You 2471 02:26:07,920 --> 02:26:12,240 Speaker 1: said it was only five percent. Yeah, they was only 2472 02:26:12,280 --> 02:26:14,959 Speaker 1: getting five percent with the rapper. If they got Kevin 2473 02:26:15,040 --> 02:26:17,080 Speaker 1: said they was having a party. So when I said 2474 02:26:17,080 --> 02:26:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm attack radio, they said, don't do it, would never happen. 2475 02:26:20,600 --> 02:26:24,879 Speaker 1: But one thing I did do, I started getting it company. 2476 02:26:25,440 --> 02:26:27,440 Speaker 1: So let me put that in context for y'all that 2477 02:26:27,560 --> 02:26:31,280 Speaker 1: may can't really hear what's going on. Should Knight is 2478 02:26:31,360 --> 02:26:34,600 Speaker 1: explaining that when he first wanted to go after radio 2479 02:26:34,720 --> 02:26:38,840 Speaker 1: with rappers, gangster rappers, right the ice cubes of the world, 2480 02:26:38,959 --> 02:26:42,360 Speaker 1: the Tupacs of the world, that he was met with 2481 02:26:42,560 --> 02:26:44,840 Speaker 1: resistance and them saying, like, yo, that ain't gonna work. 2482 02:26:44,879 --> 02:26:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it won't work. And on top of that, 2483 02:26:47,680 --> 02:26:50,800 Speaker 1: they was only given a very small percentage. He went 2484 02:26:50,959 --> 02:26:54,480 Speaker 1: in basically because they were unaware of the effects probably 2485 02:26:54,879 --> 02:26:58,120 Speaker 1: and also the aura surrounding his name, and was able 2486 02:26:58,200 --> 02:27:01,600 Speaker 1: to switch some of those deals up and affect radio. 2487 02:27:02,800 --> 02:27:05,480 Speaker 1: He went and got married Jay out of a certain situation. 2488 02:27:05,600 --> 02:27:09,199 Speaker 1: He's is when they popping, popping, popping, and couldn't nobody 2489 02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:12,600 Speaker 1: else probably get him at them deals, you understand, But 2490 02:27:12,720 --> 02:27:14,959 Speaker 1: I think he may have scared a lot of people. Indeed, 2491 02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:17,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, a certain kind of 2492 02:27:17,200 --> 02:27:19,400 Speaker 1: way to where they stay away from him now. But 2493 02:27:19,480 --> 02:27:22,879 Speaker 1: if we're really talking, Due was a force in regards 2494 02:27:22,959 --> 02:27:25,920 Speaker 1: to y'all business acumen. A lot of y'all was in 2495 02:27:26,080 --> 02:27:29,360 Speaker 1: bad deal. Some people navigated and never needed them, but 2496 02:27:29,440 --> 02:27:31,520 Speaker 1: it was a lot of little folks that needed Due. 2497 02:27:33,560 --> 02:27:37,320 Speaker 1: He's five percent radio play, and I wasn't ninety five 2498 02:27:37,320 --> 02:27:40,760 Speaker 1: per se to ninety seven set ninety seven. Stuff you 2499 02:27:40,920 --> 02:27:47,000 Speaker 1: heard was my artists or my label are too fan? 2500 02:27:48,400 --> 02:27:50,640 Speaker 1: Who was you managing that we were up that we 2501 02:27:50,640 --> 02:27:52,520 Speaker 1: don't know nothing about? Who was you managing? And nobody 2502 02:27:52,520 --> 02:27:54,680 Speaker 1: who ever knew you was managing? I say, the best one, 2503 02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:58,680 Speaker 1: the most tinn of dudes, one of the most talent 2504 02:27:58,800 --> 02:28:01,640 Speaker 1: institutions in the world still today, it's the vote.

He became radioactive and dangers. 2536 02:29:58,120 --> 02:30:01,200 Speaker 1: I think they se people stay away from you when 2537 02:30:01,200 --> 02:30:03,600 Speaker 1: they think you might cross the mouth didn't take me 2538 02:30:03,720 --> 02:30:05,920 Speaker 1: a dot hurt. I could have were like, Okay, I'm 2539 02:30:05,959 --> 02:30:10,200 Speaker 1: putting the project, but now I let it go. Not 2540 02:30:10,360 --> 02:30:12,520 Speaker 1: that I'm scared of my word it, but because I 2541 02:30:12,600 --> 02:30:15,680 Speaker 1: don't gotta be picked if the next motherfucker being fucked up, 2542 02:30:15,760 --> 02:30:18,720 Speaker 1: I don't gotta be fucked up like that. You know 2543 02:30:18,840 --> 02:30:22,800 Speaker 1: what time I was in storts Got Stories was really 2544 02:30:22,840 --> 02:30:26,840 Speaker 1: good for the money. We do business again, partnership together. 2545 02:30:28,040 --> 02:30:39,080 Speaker 1: Snoop comes over with a suck. So let me so, 2546 02:30:39,280 --> 02:30:41,960 Speaker 1: let me give y'all a little game about Sugian what 2547 02:30:42,160 --> 02:30:46,880 Speaker 1: was going on? So sug was operating outside of the 2548 02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:51,360 Speaker 1: industry standard. Right, So this is what happens in any industry, 2549 02:30:51,480 --> 02:30:55,199 Speaker 1: especially entertainment. Right. They got a struct They got instructured 2550 02:30:55,280 --> 02:30:59,640 Speaker 1: in a way where the creator is always the last 2551 02:30:59,720 --> 02:31:04,240 Speaker 1: to be paid and always the most has the most risks, right, 2552 02:31:04,440 --> 02:31:08,360 Speaker 1: because everybody will get their money back and you will 2553 02:31:08,400 --> 02:31:10,040 Speaker 1: be the last one to get it. So if it 2554 02:31:10,160 --> 02:31:12,480 Speaker 1: only make enough to where they get there's you just 2555 02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:14,640 Speaker 1: you may be still in there and owe me a 2556 02:31:14,800 --> 02:31:17,600 Speaker 1: nod and to try to clear up a little modis 2557 02:31:17,680 --> 02:31:23,440 Speaker 1: left over. Right, So it's a constant, constant hamster on 2558 02:31:23,520 --> 02:31:27,760 Speaker 1: a wheel type of thing. What sure Knight was doing 2559 02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:31,760 Speaker 1: was operating outside of that standard. Right, So say you 2560 02:31:31,840 --> 02:31:34,840 Speaker 1: were getting five percent, he get in there and get 2561 02:31:34,920 --> 02:31:37,720 Speaker 1: you seventy five percent. That all cripple what they got 2562 02:31:37,840 --> 02:31:40,840 Speaker 1: going on. So you know, as soon as they get 2563 02:31:40,879 --> 02:31:43,119 Speaker 1: a chance to make sure that he don't make no money, 2564 02:31:43,200 --> 02:31:45,400 Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna do. That's what I would expect 2565 02:31:45,879 --> 02:31:50,120 Speaker 1: because he's operating in at a standard that changes the 2566 02:31:50,240 --> 02:31:54,520 Speaker 1: infrastructure and then changes our lifestyle because we're living off 2567 02:31:54,560 --> 02:31:58,600 Speaker 1: the infrastructure. We are going to cockboat full five six 2568 02:31:58,720 --> 02:32:02,040 Speaker 1: times a year because our artists are streaming so well 2569 02:32:02,120 --> 02:32:04,760 Speaker 1: in the way that the deal is structure. We get 2570 02:32:04,840 --> 02:32:08,080 Speaker 1: paid because we are stockholders and Spotify and this and that, 2571 02:32:08,280 --> 02:32:10,880 Speaker 1: and it's just it's I'm telling you, bro, When you 2572 02:32:11,040 --> 02:32:14,840 Speaker 1: peel back the layers of this thing, it gets weird. 2573 02:32:15,480 --> 02:32:18,280 Speaker 1: It gets weird to understand how this thing gets really 2574 02:32:18,360 --> 02:32:22,840 Speaker 1: really outlined. It's a weird, very weird situation. How the 2575 02:32:23,000 --> 02:32:26,240 Speaker 1: money's even paid, What they're doing with the information? What 2576 02:32:26,480 --> 02:32:30,240 Speaker 1: is a stream? What does that mean? What is a playlist? 2577 02:32:30,320 --> 02:32:33,160 Speaker 1: How do you get on them? You see what I'm 2578 02:32:33,200 --> 02:32:36,520 Speaker 1: saying always just about the fans. What fans? Because I 2579 02:32:36,600 --> 02:32:41,280 Speaker 1: got four hundred thousand fans, So what fans is it about? Well, 2580 02:32:41,400 --> 02:32:44,160 Speaker 1: it's like it's just some of some of these questions 2581 02:32:44,400 --> 02:32:49,000 Speaker 1: have yet to be answered or even considered because you 2582 02:32:49,080 --> 02:32:52,000 Speaker 1: know why, because again, you're dealing with the infrastructure, so 2583 02:32:52,080 --> 02:32:55,600 Speaker 1: you're dealing with somebody who scribbles outside of those lines. 2584 02:32:56,000 --> 02:32:59,320 Speaker 1: It's almost like this, let's say I just left the 2585 02:32:59,440 --> 02:33:03,400 Speaker 1: Bay ain't got me a thousand turkey bads, And I 2586 02:33:03,560 --> 02:33:06,880 Speaker 1: know this is that that pressure. And then when I 2587 02:33:06,959 --> 02:33:10,520 Speaker 1: looked at the game and I've seen with future, you know, 2588 02:33:10,879 --> 02:33:14,240 Speaker 1: like I say, man, Future say yo in the streets, 2589 02:33:14,280 --> 02:33:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm bigger than jigging. Again, the comparison thing is us. 2590 02:33:18,720 --> 02:33:21,119 Speaker 1: This is what we do. Hence why you hear hell 2591 02:33:21,280 --> 02:33:25,080 Speaker 1: Jay comparing Beyondce to Michael Jackson. That's what we're doing 2592 02:33:25,160 --> 02:33:28,480 Speaker 1: this culture. Hence why we hear jay Z comparing itself 2593 02:33:28,600 --> 02:33:32,040 Speaker 1: to dig In Pock when he was clearly three or 2594 02:33:32,080 --> 02:33:35,080 Speaker 1: four at that time he were popping number one ship. 2595 02:33:35,280 --> 02:33:38,280 Speaker 1: That's how That's how this thing avivals works, right, you 2596 02:33:38,400 --> 02:33:41,640 Speaker 1: wheel your way into what you got gone right, and 2597 02:33:41,760 --> 02:33:45,040 Speaker 1: though and though you're dealing with results too, you know 2598 02:33:45,200 --> 02:33:47,800 Speaker 1: you ain't just blindly saying them. But at the end 2599 02:33:47,879 --> 02:33:51,080 Speaker 1: of the day, you know, you gotta remember, at the 2600 02:33:51,200 --> 02:33:54,080 Speaker 1: end of the day, man, the games that's being played. 2601 02:33:54,240 --> 02:33:57,600 Speaker 1: I always tell y'all, don't fuck what's being said. Think 2602 02:33:57,600 --> 02:34:00,760 Speaker 1: about who's saying it. I remember Na saying hip hop 2603 02:34:00,959 --> 02:34:05,240 Speaker 1: is dead. I said, damn he is? He talking about 2604 02:34:05,280 --> 02:34:07,600 Speaker 1: the same hip hop he'd been telling about all these years, 2605 02:34:08,480 --> 02:34:10,480 Speaker 1: the one that saved his life, and he wrote records 2606 02:34:10,520 --> 02:34:13,440 Speaker 1: to hip hop and dedicated his life to the one 2607 02:34:13,520 --> 02:34:18,960 Speaker 1: he loved so bad. But see, I think they was 2608 02:34:19,040 --> 02:34:21,400 Speaker 1: dealing with a certain leveler and I think he's came 2609 02:34:21,400 --> 02:34:23,560 Speaker 1: about to clear that up. And Nas, I'm a fan 2610 02:34:23,640 --> 02:34:26,280 Speaker 1: of Nag Big Boys Status, gonna have an interview one 2611 02:34:26,360 --> 02:34:29,320 Speaker 1: day with him and Chop some real game up. I'm 2612 02:34:29,360 --> 02:34:32,280 Speaker 1: dealing with the information, not the individuals. I love all 2613 02:34:32,400 --> 02:34:37,879 Speaker 1: my people to be clear that. But when you say 2614 02:34:38,000 --> 02:34:40,760 Speaker 1: hip hop is dead, first thing I went to think, 2615 02:34:40,800 --> 02:34:47,400 Speaker 1: and there it's dead because we got it. Oh man, 2616 02:34:47,680 --> 02:34:51,120 Speaker 1: they playing that trick. I've seen this one before. This 2617 02:34:51,240 --> 02:34:54,280 Speaker 1: is a trick of when I get the girl, now 2618 02:34:54,400 --> 02:34:57,360 Speaker 1: she ain't nothing. But if I leave a right to 2619 02:34:57,440 --> 02:35:02,959 Speaker 1: day and you get the girl, she Wifeiberteria. Oh okay, 2620 02:35:07,160 --> 02:35:12,440 Speaker 1: so it's high level chess being played. It ain't no 2621 02:35:12,600 --> 02:35:18,440 Speaker 1: low level racket ball. This high level chess being played. Well, oh, 2622 02:35:18,800 --> 02:35:22,920 Speaker 1: devalue with when when when somebody get it that ain't 2623 02:35:23,040 --> 02:35:28,240 Speaker 1: us and I get it, trust me, Like the money 2624 02:35:28,320 --> 02:35:31,119 Speaker 1: phone or the things that the auto tune like Jay 2625 02:35:31,200 --> 02:35:35,840 Speaker 1: said the auto tune one nothing, Jay tried to retire teams. 2626 02:35:36,000 --> 02:35:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, when we look back at things again. 2627 02:35:38,320 --> 02:35:41,600 Speaker 1: I like to deal with retrospect. These dudes are the 2628 02:35:41,640 --> 02:35:46,480 Speaker 1: ghosts of our culture for show, but some things they 2629 02:35:46,560 --> 02:35:49,560 Speaker 1: had confused as to when they got off of it, 2630 02:35:49,920 --> 02:35:52,760 Speaker 1: or because they didn't fill it, or because they didn't 2631 02:35:52,840 --> 02:35:59,360 Speaker 1: know that it was no longer reality. I present the 2632 02:35:59,480 --> 02:36:02,600 Speaker 1: question to them is that future is in the same 2633 02:36:02,720 --> 02:36:05,560 Speaker 1: place Jiggle was in when Jigger was three four five 2634 02:36:05,920 --> 02:36:08,720 Speaker 1: in people's eyes, when you had raped, when you had 2635 02:36:08,840 --> 02:36:12,880 Speaker 1: KRS one, when you had a bigger alive or Park alive, 2636 02:36:13,080 --> 02:36:15,560 Speaker 1: when you were dealing with nas going toe for toe, 2637 02:36:16,480 --> 02:36:18,600 Speaker 1: it were people that wasn't putting you at number one, 2638 02:36:18,800 --> 02:36:20,640 Speaker 1: just as well as it was people that's putting you 2639 02:36:20,760 --> 02:36:23,920 Speaker 1: at number one. But the same way people feel about 2640 02:36:24,040 --> 02:36:29,720 Speaker 1: Jay in Future people felt about park In, Jay Biggie 2641 02:36:29,879 --> 02:36:33,880 Speaker 1: and Jay Right. It's the same thing. But in our 2642 02:36:33,959 --> 02:36:37,320 Speaker 1: culture we gotta be left room for us to wheel 2643 02:36:37,440 --> 02:36:42,160 Speaker 1: our way. You know, you gotta leave us room, especially 2644 02:36:42,200 --> 02:36:45,760 Speaker 1: if it's about us. Your hip hop wasn't dead. Hip 2645 02:36:45,800 --> 02:36:51,160 Speaker 1: hop just had escaped. Hippop didn't die, just escaped and 2646 02:36:51,280 --> 02:36:53,760 Speaker 1: went to the South and blend it in. And some 2647 02:36:53,920 --> 02:36:56,280 Speaker 1: people came from up north down to the south, got 2648 02:36:56,320 --> 02:37:00,640 Speaker 1: what the south, planning at their feet. They had what 2649 02:37:00,800 --> 02:37:05,080 Speaker 1: was called foresight. Some people thought it was a fad. 2650 02:37:05,160 --> 02:37:09,000 Speaker 1: I remember some people thought now that shit ain't gonna lay. 2651 02:37:09,000 --> 02:37:11,720 Speaker 1: As what they doing them little bullshit rhymes and beats 2652 02:37:11,760 --> 02:37:15,199 Speaker 1: and shit, that shit ain't gonna lay. That's how people 2653 02:37:15,240 --> 02:37:18,560 Speaker 1: were thinking. But they were wrong feeling I'm saying. And 2654 02:37:18,840 --> 02:37:21,800 Speaker 1: we gotta leave ruin for mistakes as well. You know 2655 02:37:21,840 --> 02:37:24,240 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We ain't critical or nobody getting it wrong. 2656 02:37:24,879 --> 02:37:28,160 Speaker 1: Were critical about them leaving it wrong. Let's let the 2657 02:37:28,200 --> 02:37:30,640 Speaker 1: people know how we navigate around these things, how we 2658 02:37:30,760 --> 02:37:33,040 Speaker 1: swam to the other side of the mountain. I'm sorry 2659 02:37:33,080 --> 02:37:36,840 Speaker 1: of the other island. Let's let people know that. But 2660 02:37:37,040 --> 02:37:42,320 Speaker 1: back back to the sugar night situation. Right, So it's 2661 02:37:42,360 --> 02:37:44,280 Speaker 1: like you you come back from the bay, you got 2662 02:37:44,360 --> 02:37:46,280 Speaker 1: turkey bads. You know what I'm saying, and you know 2663 02:37:46,400 --> 02:37:49,680 Speaker 1: the value of the weed, and you post up and 2664 02:37:49,800 --> 02:37:52,440 Speaker 1: again I make all my money from talking. I'm good 2665 02:37:52,520 --> 02:37:55,680 Speaker 1: at this, so understand I choose my words very carefully 2666 02:37:55,760 --> 02:37:57,720 Speaker 1: when I say, you know the value of the weed, 2667 02:37:57,840 --> 02:38:02,560 Speaker 1: not the cost. So you can get some things for undervalue, 2668 02:38:02,920 --> 02:38:05,120 Speaker 1: depending on what it is and where you're at and 2669 02:38:05,200 --> 02:38:09,440 Speaker 1: who you're shopping with, so everything don't have to get 2670 02:38:09,520 --> 02:38:13,600 Speaker 1: at value, right. So sometimes the cost or something don't 2671 02:38:13,640 --> 02:38:17,160 Speaker 1: represent the value of it, right, So you post up 2672 02:38:17,200 --> 02:38:20,520 Speaker 1: on the block with the weed for sealing. This is 2673 02:38:20,560 --> 02:38:23,440 Speaker 1: sure night in this situation with the rap thing. He 2674 02:38:23,640 --> 02:38:27,960 Speaker 1: understands the value or if he don't, maybe just bullying it. 2675 02:38:28,120 --> 02:38:31,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, whatever it is. I understand the value 2676 02:38:32,640 --> 02:38:38,000 Speaker 1: of these records being played on radio, not what you're 2677 02:38:38,080 --> 02:38:40,280 Speaker 1: paying people like he said. He said, some things you 2678 02:38:40,360 --> 02:38:42,200 Speaker 1: got to pay attention to. He said, if they got 2679 02:38:42,320 --> 02:38:46,600 Speaker 1: ten percent, they would throw a party. If they had 2680 02:38:46,640 --> 02:38:49,520 Speaker 1: ten percent represent rotation on the radio, they would throw 2681 02:38:49,560 --> 02:38:51,680 Speaker 1: a party. He got it up to ninety seven percent. 2682 02:38:52,520 --> 02:38:56,440 Speaker 1: It's a totally different work around. It's a totally different atmosphere, right, 2683 02:38:56,560 --> 02:39:02,920 Speaker 1: that's a totally different check. What happens is when I'm 2684 02:39:03,200 --> 02:39:06,960 Speaker 1: standing on my value of my weed, right, and y'all 2685 02:39:07,080 --> 02:39:10,160 Speaker 1: just worrying about the coast of the weed. Meaning it 2686 02:39:10,320 --> 02:39:13,000 Speaker 1: don't really cost you none to make your podcasts, so 2687 02:39:13,120 --> 02:39:17,200 Speaker 1: you're selling for nothing. But for me, I'll reach two 2688 02:39:17,320 --> 02:39:20,600 Speaker 1: hundred thousand people. I understand the value of that. Whatever 2689 02:39:20,680 --> 02:39:24,960 Speaker 1: it costs me to produce the podcast will be considered, 2690 02:39:25,040 --> 02:39:27,959 Speaker 1: but also the impact of the podcasts I'm gonna consider 2691 02:39:28,480 --> 02:39:33,959 Speaker 1: right together, those things that my value. Y'all worrying about costs, 2692 02:39:33,959 --> 02:39:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm worrying about value. You gotta stay with me, right, 2693 02:39:36,800 --> 02:39:38,840 Speaker 1: you gotta stay with what I'm saying. I'm putting real 2694 02:39:38,959 --> 02:39:46,880 Speaker 1: game down. Sure Nite deals represent maybe somebody that knows 2695 02:39:47,000 --> 02:39:52,200 Speaker 1: the value, not necessarily the cost, because funk with y'all 2696 02:39:52,320 --> 02:39:54,800 Speaker 1: payers they get they sell a brain for tem percent. 2697 02:39:54,879 --> 02:39:57,840 Speaker 1: I think ten percent ain't no good. I think tem 2698 02:39:57,879 --> 02:40:01,959 Speaker 1: percent is a bad scenario to be right. So you're 2699 02:40:02,000 --> 02:40:04,200 Speaker 1: standing on your value or the weed. They're selling it 2700 02:40:04,320 --> 02:40:06,960 Speaker 1: for nothing or selling it just to make whatever a 2701 02:40:07,040 --> 02:40:09,120 Speaker 1: little bit of profit they need to make because they 2702 02:40:09,240 --> 02:40:11,760 Speaker 1: flip us. You know, on the street. You got them 2703 02:40:11,840 --> 02:40:15,480 Speaker 1: flippers that will go five dollars under your Graham, ten 2704 02:40:15,600 --> 02:40:18,600 Speaker 1: dollars under yours, one hundred dollars under your ounce. And 2705 02:40:18,800 --> 02:40:21,080 Speaker 1: you may think that don't mean none that your ounces 2706 02:40:21,400 --> 02:40:24,680 Speaker 1: fourteen fifty, he is thirteen fifty. A lot of people 2707 02:40:24,760 --> 02:40:27,879 Speaker 1: going the way speedily. If they bang fifteen um, that's 2708 02:40:27,920 --> 02:40:31,440 Speaker 1: another that's another extra zip on it or whatever. You know. 2709 02:40:31,560 --> 02:40:34,000 Speaker 1: The case may be like, However, they're breaking it down 2710 02:40:34,080 --> 02:40:38,800 Speaker 1: so the hustlers is paying attention to that, you're understanding. 2711 02:40:38,879 --> 02:40:41,320 Speaker 1: What they end up doing is working you out of 2712 02:40:41,360 --> 02:40:45,199 Speaker 1: a job if you're not financially fit enough to really 2713 02:40:45,320 --> 02:40:48,720 Speaker 1: stand on that value and take that slow money, because 2714 02:40:48,760 --> 02:40:52,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna say, why would I pay seventy dollars for 2715 02:40:53,000 --> 02:40:56,120 Speaker 1: your three five when dude giving me a zip for 2716 02:40:56,280 --> 02:41:00,000 Speaker 1: one hundred. You see what I'm saying, because the value 2717 02:41:00,280 --> 02:41:03,320 Speaker 1: this weed is different, because the quality is different, but 2718 02:41:03,480 --> 02:41:05,400 Speaker 1: they don't give a damn. They just want to roll 2719 02:41:05,480 --> 02:41:08,800 Speaker 1: something up in the backwood and talk shit while they're smoking, 2720 02:41:09,320 --> 02:41:12,119 Speaker 1: so they're not considering the value. And then what happens 2721 02:41:12,160 --> 02:41:15,600 Speaker 1: to the market is people tend to go that route 2722 02:41:15,640 --> 02:41:18,600 Speaker 1: because it seems like it's going faster.
