So I've literally been 59 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 5: able to be around every single type of emotion to 60 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 5: know how to make to get everyone to their higher 61 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 5: self through whatever I can do, you know what I mean. 62 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 5: So even with the school man, I was literally me 63 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 5: and James built the curriculum off of all the bitch 64 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 5: azz niggas we've dealt with in the music business. So literally, 65 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 5: every time it was a problem where it was if 66 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 5: it was a studio session where I would say somebody 67 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 5: was playing the headphones too loud, why someone's trying to talk, 68 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, yeah, he's fucking up. He'll never come 69 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 5: back here. So what we'll do is go to the 70 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 5: curriculum and put that in the curriculum. So every everything 71 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 5: that we hate about everything in the music business, and 72 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 5: with the solution though, so you know what I mean. 73 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 5: And we literally worked on that for literally three four 74 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 5: years straight before we had a school. And that was 75 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 5: one of the parts of the manifestation because when people 76 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 5: was asking me, I would just say, yo, I got 77 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 5: to school. They say, yo, how are you been working 78 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 5: on your music. I was like, yeah, I'm working on 79 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 5: the school. So then I got one hundred people that 80 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 5: now is talking about our school that we haven't built yet. 81 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 5: So now I got one hundred more people that that's 82 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 5: bringing their resources from our school. So that was literally, 83 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 5: you know, the just word of mouth and just speaking 84 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 5: into an existence, speaking it to an existence. It really 85 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 5: was really the trick, but it really came off of 86 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 5: us dealing with you know, me and James, we've been 87 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 5: through literally the trenches in every type of way from 88 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 5: from the streets to the music business. So we just 89 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 5: wanted to be at a blueprint to really show the culture. Yo, 90 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 5: don't go this way, go this way. You know, they're 91 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 5: they're training us to be unemployed well employees. So our 92 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 5: school teaches you how to be an unemployable nigga to 93 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 5: where you can license our thoughts. Before you to get 94 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 5: to that point, you got to understand the behavior, the 95 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 5: brand laws, how to how to deal with assholes, how 96 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 5: not to react to people, how to get into the 97 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 5: minds of the hearts and the minds of the consumers 98 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 5: through words and through body language. And it's all these 99 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 5: secrets to make at the end of the day, to 100 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 5: be a service that makes people feel good and to 101 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 5: get them closer to God. That's the whole point. But 102 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 5: through with the school is you're just getting so much 103 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 5: swag because ninety percent of the teachers are famous. You know, 104 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 5: we had everybody from Nipsey rest in Peace one of 105 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 5: our first teachers, from Kendred to Justin the Bruno, the 106 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 5: you know, heads of fortune, five hundred companies from tech, fashion, field, music, 107 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 5: and sports.

So if it's no, it's okay, you 449 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 5: know what I mean, because we're not for everybody. We're 450 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 5: in a choir taste. It's not just regular musicians. It's 451 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 5: producers that understands space at the highest level, which is 452 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 5: a cheeko that only comes from God and practice. So 453 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 5: it just sounds different. 454 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, so you know, because that's like so 455 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 3: my first band was was Rapture.

Okay, 468 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 5: depending on what genre they watch. The least words you 469 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 5: say is the more impactful you will be.

But it's like when you 477 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 5: try to make human behavior songs where you're talking to 478 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 5: the subconscious mind. When we're just talking and we're hearing 479 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 5: a beat and we're doing this not even realizing it. 480 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 5: That's what we're doing music for it. We're talking to 481 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 5: the sub conscious. So it's like, you gotta stay in shape. 482 00:25:52,880 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: Are you really a teacher? Man?

Like, 995 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,239 Speaker 5: I think every artist needs to know the brand laws. 996 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 5: I don't even work with artists unless they know like 997 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,840 Speaker 5: ten things I know, and the brand and laws is 998 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,399 Speaker 5: one of them. I can't even fuck with nobody because 999 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 5: you got to know who you are.

The brand promise 1006 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 5: is why do we give a fucking what are you 1007 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 5: gonna do for us? Right?

It's called 1013 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 5: favorable publicity. Publicity is how do you get other niggas 1014 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 5: to talk about how tight you are? So I'll really 1015 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 5: take one hundred thousand dollar marketing budget, give everybody a hundred, 1016 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,120 Speaker 5: Like to everybody, I'm tight.

We all need each other, right. 1026 00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:16,120 Speaker 3: But the way you're articulating it is that in order 1027 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,840 Speaker 3: to get the mass attention, there is a formula. 1028 00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: There's a formula for the mob that. 1029 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 5: Works every time. For messaging for the world, there's the 1030 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 5: message you have to put out through people through God, 1031 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,880 Speaker 5: we know the secrets, but you can't abuse it.
