And one 405 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: of my favorite joints is consistent. And you talk about 406 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: how a loss was hell of different at that time. 407 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,239 Speaker 1: Can you take me back to that time? Oh, consistent? Yeah, man, 408 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: it was it was that song. Man, that man, that 409 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: was a crazy time in my life. It's where it's 410 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: where I had just had my son. He was, you know, 411 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks old and I'm a rug 412 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: I had to leave for a second. He stayed with 413 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: his mother for for you know, for a year.

So, you know, 416 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: I started, you know, taking the organic chances. And um, 417 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: I was working my game, busting my little moves, and 418 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: I was I was staying.

But I know, I know 537 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: people who do, you know what I mean, and not 538 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: respect people who do too. You know what I'm saying. 539 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: And that's why I say, you passionate about it, you 540 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: gotta put some time into it. If not, you're gonna 541 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: be sitting there just saying what you should have did later, 542 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

I didn't. 546 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: I never want to do interviews. I never want the 547 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: tour I never wanted. I never want to do nothing, 548 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: none of this ship. I just wanted to. But I 549 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: realized that, man, this is this is, this is the 550 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: game we're playing, and then we go play. We might 551 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: as well play and go all the way in. Definitely 552 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: going all the way in a manute. A lot of 553 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,719 Speaker 1: your music focuses on you know, motivational things and uh, 554 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: financial literacy. Like I remember on Mr. Midnight you said 555 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: like being riches and oh don't let me make sure 556 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,239 Speaker 1: I get it right. So being rich ain't always about wealth, right, 557 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: So what is your opinion rich? What does that look 558 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: like to you? It's not always about wealth, So it's 559 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: not like always the money aspect of it. It's more 560 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: like being happy, happy with yourself. You can have all 561 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: the money in the world. If you're not happy, then 562 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: you just got some money. You know what I'm saying? 563 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: Like you feel me? That's that ship is important. Like 564 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: money can buy everything. I can buy the house and ship, 565 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: but like you can't like make it like an actually home. 566 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,959 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like you know what I mean. 567 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: It's you know, it's not always about well treating your people, 568 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: writing and when you when you lead this earth? And 569 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: what did you lead back? What kind of person was you? 570 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: What kind of character did you have? Was you solid? 571 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: Did you help people over? Did you rob motherfucker's did you? 572 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: You know? That's you know, it ain't always about the money. 573 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: You need the money. It ain't everything and everything, but 574 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: I need it, I need both. Where does that? Where 575 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: does that come from? These themes of financial literacy and finance? 576 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: Just like why is that so important to you? Like 577 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: where you was your parents. That's still that in you. 578 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: My paps put me on like rich Dad, poor Dad 579 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: and all them, you know, like all them, all these books. 580 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: So so I was I was like I was reading 581 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff when I was in high school. 582 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 1: We're not actually reading and I don't. I don't really 583 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: read that many books. I'm not like a book read 584 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: your Life that I read like one book in my life. 585 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: It was the Tucky Williams book. I was very interested 586 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: in prison for some reason. When I was like in 587 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: third grade, I read the whole book. But that wasn't 588 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: a lot of audio books I can read obviously, I 589 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: just don't have the patience to sit that. I'll be 590 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: trying to do hell of other ship. So when I'm 591 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: cleaning my career, but I tossed the audio book on 592 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: and I'm catching key things and and you know, it 593 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: just registered in my mind without me even knowing, and 594 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: it kind of like end up being a part of 595 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: my lifestyle. And it came out in what I talked 596 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: about my music pretty much. And ship, I think that's 597 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: what it is. And just you know, I just like 598 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: I like nice ship and and um, you know ship, 599 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: it's all about numbers man, right, we talk about the 600 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: music and I you mention real estate a lot, like 601 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: compowing yourself, Like, was that the first thing that really 602 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: clicked for you, Like to take this money and start 603 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: using the real estate and really just start building things. 604 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: I do have real estate. I got a couple of things, 605 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: but that was more of me getting people if ice 606 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: on other things that can they could have purchased. And ship, 607 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: like I like to sell things, so I like to 608 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: invest into myself a lot. Definitely, real estate was definitely 609 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: one of the one of my first things I got 610 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: when I started getting like real money and ship. You 611 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But I feel like when you're 612 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: coming up investing into yourself, it's worth more than real estate. 613 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: That's my opinion, you know what I'm saying. Because you 614 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: can create something and make money forever for your family 615 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: and a house, you know, Like that's cool. I don't 616 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: get me wrong. Like, but when you when you create 617 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: a legacy and and and um investing into yourself and 618 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: then what you're trying to do, it's you know, you 619 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: could pass it down. Like I said, I can give 620 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: my brother the game. You can make money forever. Two 621 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: I can and unless I want to go buy thirty 622 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: houses and the manage them and do all that ship. 623 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: You know, you know, it's different strokes for different folks, man, 624 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But real estate is it's 625 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,239 Speaker 1: big though. But the game being so digital, now when 626 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: you say that's like what get a laptop and the 627 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: mic and the right equipment, right, I mean that's how 628 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: you started. You get that. But you also have to 629 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: get to a certain point. So I didn't spend a 630 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: lot of money on myself at first coming up in 631 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: the game, you know what I mean? Coming up was easy. 632 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: Getting people know who I was was easy. But then 633 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: you get to a point where you gotta you gotta 634 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: obtain that and you gotta get to a different level. 635 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: So then I just started investing hundreds of thousand dollars 636 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: to myself into now like you know what I'm saying. 637 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: You get that, you get the attention to people, and 638 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: then from there you gotta so okay, now what we 639 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: know you bro like you did hell the tapes and ship, 640 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: Now what you can do?

Bentley Speed, I grab up 1031 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: grab a Ferrari Spider everything two that Grand National Man 1032 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 1: that's with them them my them, my favorite cards about 1033 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 1: be like if I buy Bentley or something like that, 1034 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 1: or you know, I'm gonna probably keep that for a 1035 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 1: couple of years. I don't current people to keep them 1036 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 1: cards too much too long, because they appreciate in value. 1037 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 1: On certain cards like my Ferraris, I keep my Ferraris, 1038 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 1: they keep they keep that value. Poors keep value. It's 1039 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,879 Speaker 1: certain things you can do when it comes to cars 1040 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 1: where you can keep your value.

Yeah, yeah, 1099 00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 1: that should be normal, Like because everybody you know, like 1100 00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 1: it's always like you see you see a black man 1101 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: pull up in a ferrarity, You're like, man, like, what 1102 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: he doing is he's selling drugs?
