24
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: you cut it out? You know what you said something

25
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: that I just said the other day, I say, I

26
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: know how to be affectionate, but I think I don't

27
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: know how to show how to love. Yeah, I just

28
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: think that we got, we got, we inherited. You know

29
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, amotal operation want to come to our

30
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: emotions that we internalize it. You know, we don't really

31
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: know how to access you know, um the right the

32
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: right words all the time, you know, and we do

33
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: express it in our own way. But you know, women

34
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: they're totally different. That's how they do. They just but

35
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: we do love. But we love the way that we love.

36
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: But what a lot of women it doesn't come across

37
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: as love, and you know they want to a lot.

38
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: You know what I observed. You know a lot of

39
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: women want us to love like they do. And it's like,

40
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: but we men were love in a different ways, right

41
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: and you know so just because they don't look the

42
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: same way, it don't mean that it's not happening. I think,

43
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: like men and women really need to spend a whole

44
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: lot of time talking to each other. I think it's

45
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: a high level of expectation, and they expect for you

46
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: to just know, like they want you to show to

47
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: the relationship and read your lines. It's like, love don't

48
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: work like that. Everybody is different. Everybody came up different.

49
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: Everybody love language is different. That's a whole you know,

50
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: science that people subscribe to. But even beyond that, some

51
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: people don't have no reference, you know, they have no

52
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: reference of what love is supposed to look like. And

53
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: then they take you know, because women be like, well,

54
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna be teaching no grown man how to love.

55
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't need you to teach me how to love.

56
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: I need you to help me understand how to communicate

57
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: to you that I love you. You You know what, that's

58
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,360

86
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: know That's what I'd be making music for for real,

87
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Like if you really listen to my music, It's it's

88
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: very simple. I mean I do get in my bag

89
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,000

90
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: out the homies that really be about that life. But

91
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: I really be doing it mostly for people, like you know,

92
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: in a way, some of my songs are kind of

93
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: be like sing my numbers, like dude, like you can

94
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: do this too. In my mind I was growing up,

95
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: I believe everybody could sing. I legit really believe like

96
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: everybody could sing. So when people was like, hey, you

97
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: sounds gonna like okay, now you do it, and they're

98
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: like you get yeah, I would, but you told me that. Yeah,

99
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, I'm telling you that ship is like

100
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: I love but I really but I really, legit believe

101
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: that everybody could do it. And it wasn't until I realized,

102
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, not everybody, at least not everybody could do

103
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: it at that level. It was like everybody could play ball,

104
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: but everybody you know, you got the ship that was

105
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: dope ing up that made motherfucker's want to sing. Yeah,

106
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: but I wanted because I came at it from from

107
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: a realistic perspective, like I ever really identified with all

108
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: the you know, stuff that people kind of like made

109
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: it out to be that you had to got to

110
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: dress a something where you gotta walk and talk and

111
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: act a something where like I don't see me, but

112
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: I do like the saying, so where do I fit?

113
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: So I just kind of fit, you know. Along the way,

114
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: been trying to figure out what my thing is. I

115
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: subscribed to a lot of things that I thought was

116
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: gonna be it, but I just ended up very frustrated

117
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: and unhappy, you know, and mean while everybody you know

118
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: is loving it, but I'm over here, like you know,

119
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: in the corner with the microphone, but they don't care

120
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: about what I want to do. So I got tired

121
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: of that feeling. So you know, I've been trying to

122
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: navigate through that. A lot of artists into the idea

123
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: like okay, saying all I do you actually are one

124
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: of the fathers. I say, a neo soul because soul

125
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: music is soul music that's been around forever. But leo,

126
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: So the new Soul was an era that came in with,

127
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: like you said, all of those things that R and

128
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: B artists were known for, the guys came out looking

129
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: and and doing something completely different. Even the first time

130
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: we've seen you. You're standing out in the record shop.

131
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: You ain't got no leather on you, you ain't no

132
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: grease nothing. You know what I'm saying, all the things

133
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: and nothing, it's just think it's just outside in the cite,

134
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: because that's how it was. That's how it was like

135
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: in real life. Like we tried to capture what actually

136
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: happened in my day to day, you know, in that

137
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: in a Just Friends for those of you know, he's

138
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: referencing the Just Friends video, and I was trying to

139
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: like I meant I needed it to be, and thankfully

140
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: the people around me was pushing forward as well. I

141
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: needed it to be understood. Like, Yo, I don't know

142
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: what type of time y'all on, but this is where

143
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: I come from. This is what where what I do

144
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: looks like, you know, not just sounding that, it's what

145
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: it looks like too. And if we're gonna be authentic

146
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: to it, at least let's make the introduction the way

147
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: that it should be. Now later on we can kind

148
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: of get into all the other things, you know, because

149
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I understand that there's a criteria, there's a dem graphic,

150
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: there's a system in the protocrawl, the hierarchy. You know

151
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying of what people understand is what it is.

152
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's radio and then there's shows, and then

153
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: there's different spaces that you can express yourself creatively through.

154
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: But there is a blueprint that that came before me.

155
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, that's everybody got to follow on it because

156
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: this is a business. So I let it be known

157
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: like I'm willing to play ball. But at the same time,

158
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta be true to myself too, you know,

159
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: And that's been like a that's been a tight role.

160
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: So when you walked out the studio after making something

161
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: like like Buddy right, like so you ain't know you

162
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: was about to funk them up at the cookout for

163
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: generations and generations and generations like I never know functions

164
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: at a point in time some music. So appreciate it,

165
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: but I never know that I never need because that's

166
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: not my That's not my uh motivation. I never, I'm

167
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: not I'm not motivated by off like that my motivation. Yeah,

168
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: I I'm going to kill I never, that's never like

169
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: my thing. My thing is like damn, I wish I could, like,

170
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, how can I make this song as as

171
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: good as I can make it, you know, like that's

172
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: always my my thing. And if I'm listening to like

173
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: I'm I'm nick picking it. After then that mixed messing

174
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: and put out on the radar. And I could have

175
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: did that different, like you know, in my head, like

176
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: if I could, I would take the song back and

177
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: fix it, you know. But that's that's that perfectionist thing.

178
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: You know. It gets real weird and I gotta like

179
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: shut that up because it won't leave me alone. So

180
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: when you were going out, like what was your motivation?

181
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: Like I know now, like you said, you had to

182
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: break those bars and be different, you know what I'm saying.

183
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: So your motivation, you know street you know what I'm saying.

184
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: You know what hard life man, it's real real, you

00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I had to like I

186
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: had to figure it out. I was you know, I

187
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: was blessed with the opportunity and I had, you know,

188
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: the foresight and the intelligence into it, you know, because

189
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: I could have been like a lot of my home

190
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: is like, man, I ain't doing I ain't signed no

192
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,120

00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,080

194
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: They'll see what to do, um, and we're gonna figure

195
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,320

Speaker 1: by myself, Like I tired of that, you know. And

199
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: it was partially self inflicted. But you know, things weren't

200
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: really that cool at the crib, so I did, you know,

Speaker 1: and I realized how real stuff was. But you know,

202

248
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: is going to be on my album. That's what was

249
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: the first time I was ever working in the studio.

250
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is all right, let me

251
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: try it again. You know. I was working with with

252
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: my renting partner at the time. Shout out to Carvin

254
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: of these ideas that he just couldn't like gett placed on.

255
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: Nobody and I was, you know, out there enough. I

256
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, yeah, I could turn that into

257
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: a song, you know, because I was already in that mindset.

258
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: So we just put it together and it was like

259
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: sounding good, it was feeling good. And that's how you

260
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: got just friends grow next door love Half Crazy, uh,

261
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: because Half Crazy actually recorded it around the same time.

262
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: I just want to sing. But we got a place

263
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: on an artist and it never took. So I took

264
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: it back when it came kind of work on the

265
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: next Jim. Um yeah, that's a whole another story. Um.

266
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: And you know all of the joints Ella's gone seventeen paparazzi,

267
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: I think I said at a ready, um yeah, all

268
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: of the joints that made the first album. I wasn't

269
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: thinking this is my first album. I was thinking I

270
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: just want to sing. I just you just want to sing.

271
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: You're not even look you're not even looking at the

272
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: business aspect. You just instand you're making. In my mind,

273
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: I was going at some point pick the best ones

274
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: out printed on c D and you know myself, but

275
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: this is this can't even got side before this, before this,

276
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: all of nothe in that you know what I'm saying,

277
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: and I was again, I wasn't really consistent because you know,

278
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: it got cold, you know, and so I came down here,

279
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, and then when it got hot, I went

280
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: back up there, you know, so and I was able

281
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: to get back in the studio and whatever I had

282
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: before I came down, I played it for, you know,

283
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: for my folks, and it was like, Yo, this is

284
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: a you might wanna do something with that, Like, I know,

285
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool, which going to I don't know, man,

286
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: it's cool. Maybe I'm about to record some more songs,

287
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: but I'm not even thinking about that. I got a

288
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: whole another list of crap that I'm trying to navigate through,

289
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: not realizing that I'm accumulating baggage, you know, through my life,

290
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: because life is real when you don't know what you're

291
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: doing with your life. So at the end of the

292
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: ninety nine I had dipped out again because it got cold,

293
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, cold about twenty years with it. I was like, yeah,

294
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: I didn't want to gang. I don't want to be cold.

295
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm cool, you know what I'm saying. I would just

296
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: busting down here and the Greyhound, you know what I'm saying.

297
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: And I would just come down and buy myself. I mean,

298
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: in hinside, I realized how dangerous that was. You know

299
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because when I tell you I had nobody,

300
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't call nobody if anything happened, right, I ain't

301
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: had a squad, I had no folks. I was literally

302
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: dull on most of my life, you know. And I

303
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: mean it's a whole antisocial element of my personality that

304
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm still dealing with that played that place into But

305
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: it's not the point right now. So when I had

306
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: enough song, you know, when you're real friends. So so

307
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: so when I had enough songs, apparently my managers at

308
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: the time behind my back, not to say like they was,

309
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,560

330
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: So I said, all right, cool, but you donna have

331
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: to you know what I'm saying. I ain't gonna brear

332
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: right now. So you're gonna give me the bus. Take

333
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: the bus. You didn't get on the plane. Yeah, I

334
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: don't fly. There's a lot of things you don't do.

335
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: But you don't understand. You ain't got a lot of baggage.

336
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: You ain't never unpacked, you know. They're saying, yeah they

337
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: charged with baggage. Yeah, okay, good one. Then the whole

338
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: point speaking of with when I actually first got on

339
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: the plane, I'm still walking around with this big duffle

340
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: that I used to take with me on Greyhound, trying

341
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: to run through the airport. It's before security. I'm running

342
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: trying to catch my plane and this bag. I didn't understand, Like,

343
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: you can't run with a big duffer bads on your side.

344
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm small and and not expect fall in the middle

345
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: of the airporteam. It was so funny. Then he probably

346
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: got to the plane and was sweat and sticking like

347
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: Bro used to us. Yeah, no, no, I had no.

348
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: I had to I had the Army Duffer. I had

349
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: the Army Duffer with the string, so I had to

350
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: make sure it because like I was a pack racking.

351
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: So but that's that. I fast forward. Anyway, let's rewind.

352
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: So I get on the bus and I come back

353
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: to Philly, and you know what I'm saying. My manager

354
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: was like, no, You're gonna stay here until meet because

355
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: the meet was in New York. I was like, no,

356
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure I got somebody could kick with, Like, dude,

357
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: you could do whatever you want. I mean, be staying

358
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: with me, which was a big deal because he not

359
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: the type that really have folks in his crib like that.

360
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, I thought of this money,

361
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: you'll never exactly that part. So I didn't have no

362
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: big coat. I knew that's why you keep leaving. And

363
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: this dude is like six one or whatever, so I

364
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: had to But if he come a brown fat farm

365
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: coat and I'm like in his n from no code

366
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: to have an extra. So I'm sitting So I'm sitting

367
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: in depth jam with this big code I'm swimming in.

368
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm like and I'm sitting here, like what is happening

369
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? I know I said I was going

370
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: to do this, but this is dumb, Like I don't

371
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: even know these people. I think Rad Band was in

372
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: the room. It was so sweet I was, But that

373
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: isn't why I want to code, you know what I'm saying.

374
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling all like, I'm feeling weird and awkward.

375
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: I got some other dude code on. I feel like,

376
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like, you know, my manhould have

377
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: been challenge. Right now, I'm out of my element talking

378
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: to these executives and I don't even like expect to

379
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: be in front of because y'all wasn't part of the

380
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: playing talking about songs And I'm not even really thinking

381
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: about right now because I'm trying to do better and

382
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: better and better. So they like yo, but we like these,

383
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, I appreciate that. In my mind,

384
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, give me the money and

385
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go make better songs. And you're like, nah, these,

386
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, we'll do these, but next time

387
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do what

388
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: I want to do. Next song came around, what do

389
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: you think happened? And it did? Doing so good? Man?

390
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: You don't you go ahead, and I appreciate it. Again,

391
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: doing your job and doing you aren't necessarily the same thing. Well,

392
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: what makes you think what is the reason rather why

393
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: you haven't been able to bridge that? Like because I've

394
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: been waiting on the green light still well not now,

395
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: not going, but for a long time. Because I'm a

396
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: team player, you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm not

397
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: gonna roll out on my own. Like if I got

398
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: a squad, I'm gonna I'm gonna roll with the squad.

399
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: About the squad kept changing, you know what I'm saying,

400
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: and I was trying to stay loyal, but you know

401
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: that plays into not ever really having the squad. So

402
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: I feel like I was part of the team until

403
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: you could get done up by folks that you thought

404
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: I had your back, and now they changes. Now I

405
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: got trust issues. So it's like, because people don't understand

406
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: that that period since two thous how long has it been,

407
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: you've been going through that. Now now you can say

408
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: you have that green light to do what you want

409
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: to do. Well, I never got the green light. I

410
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: just gave myself a green light. Fifteen give myself a

411
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: green light, and that's when I started. You know what

412
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Don't know how many people catching up with me,

413
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: but I started doing just you know, you said the hustle.

414
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know the hustle, try to be

415
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: up and the music sold out fan when I see

416
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: you with that leather fitted with the crown on. Now now, now,

417
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: now let me tell you, let me tell you the trip,

418
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: but now let me tell you. Let me say this. Now,

419
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: let me say this, and let me say that the

420
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: reason why the look was the look was because I

421
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: was trying to honor the home that came up with

422
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: the look. Okay, I wasn't. I wasn't going to roll

423
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: with that, but that was it was I was trying

424
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: to look out for. I was trying to look out

425
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: for some y'all nigger. I was doing it. I was like, Yo,

426
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: this is dope. Now I hadn't. I was trying to

427
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: tell people, I don't know what I'm doing with this.

428
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: I have no idea what I'm doing with this, but

429
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: I need to try something else. Yeah, I got heavily

430
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: inspired by being out here. You know what I'm saying.

431
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: And Nat, it was an idea. It was an idea

432
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: that kind of got away from me. Oh, I got you.

433
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: And I was just trying to commit because I hadn't already.

434
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: You know, I already jumped. So commit. Look, so even

435
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: in the studio, when you know full of fact they're

436
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: gonna agree or live anything, even though you say it's

437
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: a job. It was no way for you to be like,

438
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna treat these motherfuckers and thinking

439
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: that I'm doing what I used to do, but I'm

440
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: gonna do what At the end of the day, they don't.

441
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: They wasn't. When he was writing a motherfucking song. And right,

442
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: So even though so again I don't want people to

443
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: take away the fact that you know, I'm making the

444
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: distinction between me doing my job and me doing me

445
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: that I didn't love doing my job. I love doing

446
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: my job, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's the

447
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: whole that was That was the plan anyway, to be

448
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: in front of people singing songs and have a positive

449
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: effect on them, regardless of how it came. I don't

450
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: always have to write them. It don't always have to

451
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: come from my mind. I had a lot of songs,

452
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, ghost written or I wrote with other people

453
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: I found I didn't you know, not right, not one word.

454
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: But I identified with the message and it's something that

455
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to represent, and I knew people would have

456
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: received it, you know, differently from me than say, I

457
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: don't know anybody else. So out of all of the

458
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: music that you've done over the years, you don't have

459
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: any songs that was you doing you. All of them

460
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: was you doing you. By the fault I'm doing me anyway,

461
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna do it if if it's not

462
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: no me in it. But the primary focus was to

463
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: honor a demographic serving system. Okay, so there's now there's

464
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: no song that you can point to in your loose

465
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: just friends, Just friends. The reason why just friends was

466
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: cause music sold child is hip hop soul. I keep

467
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: telling people year in and year out. I know, I

468
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: get identified and labeled as R and D or LEO

469
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: or neo soul whatever, and that's cool because you know

470
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: that's not entirely inaccurate. And you know, I mean, I'm

471
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm adjacent to that enough where I can get you know,

472
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: picked out on the same lineup. But if you're asking me,

473
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: what is the definition of a music sold child hip

474
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: hop soul? That's always been the mission, always trying to

475
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: merge hip hop culture and sold music culture and put

476
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: it to that's what the name is. Music sold child,

477
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: child soul through music. Like, that's what the name is.

478
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: And that makes sense now because you come on with them,

479
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: thum that that that the beginning. That's music soldier. I

480
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: literally start beat boxing. That's how the song starts. I'm

481
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: boxing beatboxing. Yeah, it makes sense, you know what I'm saying.

482
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: But then you're stopping, like you man, let me do

483
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: my job. If I'm fin you know, I want to,

484
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: but saying, I know, but then you know, there was

485
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: such there was this lane for me to be this

486
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: R and B dude, and you know, there was a

487
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: lot of you know, tussling with that, like I don't

488
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: want to do that, Like I get that, you know,

489
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: I can thank you, but that's not what I want

490
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 1: to do. But the job is there. So it's like

491
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: why not? Why not? So I did it? Push it?

492
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: Mant's talk about a lot like now, hip hop soul

493
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: is what it is because the R and B music

494
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: is it is done by the rappers. They sing in

495
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 1: their own hooks and all that. Like, so do you

496
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: feel like that you kind of put that in the game.

497
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: You might not get the credit for it, but you

498
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: feel like you you know what I mean, I feel

499
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: like that's always been there, you know what I'm saying.

500
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: I just think that the attention or that's just the

501
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: wave now, you know what I'm saying, Like things are

502
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: already there, you just ain't up on it until it

503
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: until it get pushed to the forefront, you know, and

504
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: other stuff that used to be it got pushed to

505
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: the background. Like it don't go nothing goes away, you know.

506
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: It's just the attention is now on something else. Now, Yeah,

507
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about now is you don't the R

508
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: and B music like it used to be its own

509
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: separate like you had R and B singers who and rappers,

510
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: and the R and B singers would sing on the

511
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: rappers hooks and you know what I mean, and vice versa.

512
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: So now you wasn't trying to follow that you want

513
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: to do. I just was trying to figure out what

514
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: else they're worth, you know what I'm saying. So you

515
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: got to think about a lot of creative people at least,

516
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, I can't really speak on other people, you know,

517
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: I can't indirectly, you know, and in spirit because I

518
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: understand the mindset. But I can only excuse me. I

519
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: can't really talk about myself. So with me, you know,

520
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: there's layers to my creativity, you know, and there's layers

521
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: to my personality, you know. And because I had to, uh,

522
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: don't talk about we meet themps exactly. Come on, I

523
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: had to identify and compartmentalize the different parts of myself

524
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: to keep myself from not being myself. That makes sense,

525
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: especially when you gotta give yourself millions of people. Once

526
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: you get the acceptance, you make it now. Everybody wants

527
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: your mouse, you know what I'm saying, Like you're your

528
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: your thing, you know, and it's not the fault, you know.

529
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: So which why I never last out and took it

530
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: out on people. It gets annoying, but you know, you

531
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: gotta understand people. They're just caught in the moment. You

532
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's just a natural it's it's

533
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: it's an involuntary thing. I'm sure a lot of grown

534
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: dudes probably let why man, why did you like? Man?

535
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: I know, heither holie. But I could have, can't you

536
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I could have maintained my you know, manhood,

537
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But I never but I

538
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: always accepted. I never want people to feel lesser than

539
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: I never want people to feel like they just played themselves.

540
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: Like I always meet it with love. But at the

541
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: end of the day, I gotta go back to my

542
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: space and I gotta re up somehow, you know, because

543
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: in my role in this circumstances to give. But when

544
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: I go back, like, I gotta get it from somewhere,

545
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: and I didn't have a lot of spaces where I

546
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: was getting it back from. So it was becoming really

547
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: taxing on me emotionally and psychologically. So I noticed, like

548
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: I got a lot of baggage I gotta unpack and

549
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm not dealing with and it's it's starting to get

550
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: in the way now because I need a lot and

551
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm not getting enough and all of this is stuffing

552
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: to feel crowded. Yeah, that's why I'll be when I

553
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: don't getting no pussy. Okay, gotta gotta unpacked my nuts

554
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: nut too, So I don't like to be cooling. The

555
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: world told me a little shot, so what I started,

556
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: so to your point, and you know, I just want

557
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: the person to shot you on the real time for

558
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: bringing it up. What the Hustle represented was one of

559
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: them sides that family. You ain't gonna run me you.

560
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a job. You don't know what

561
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: you are, but we're gonna figure it out. Now. My

562
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: bad was I don't know if I overshot or undershot

563
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: the response and support that I was going to get

564
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: from it. Did you ever release music under that mind? Yeah?

565
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: This one okay, Yeah, it's a whole album and an EP. Okay,

566
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: yeah I was. I was. I was like, man, it's okay.

567
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: I got. I got a whole lot of that. God

568
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: loved the music. I was one of the niggas that

569
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: was stuck on, you know, because I like, your music

570
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: is powerful and understand that. I understand that, but this

571
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: other thing is also a part of me. And if

572
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: it's not for you, then it's not for you. I

573
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: kept making that point. I was on the breakfast club

574
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: making it like, it's just not leave it. Stick with

575
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: this guy. He's still there, you know. And I think

576
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, I think it was

577
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: so frustrated that they didn't. I don't know, man, it

578
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: just ain't hit him right because I was literally repeating

579
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: myself over now you can go google it, checking YouTube.

580
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: I've been saying the same thing over and over again.

581
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: I got tired of talking, you know, but I kept saying, Hey,

582
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: music sold, child, it's not going anywhere. This here is

583
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: something else. If you want it, it's there. If you

584
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: don't leave it, let me ask you this. Do you think, like,

585
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: at this point in hindsight, do you think it would

586
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: have been better received if you would have introduced it

587
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: through music sold. No, that was the whole point. That's

588
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: that's the whole point. It's not music, soul child and

589
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: people were not listening to that. And I know, you

590
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying again, That's why I say, like,

591
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I overshot undershot. You know, I

592
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: don't know if I overestimated or underestimated. I don't know.

593
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how I was looking at it. I

594
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: don't know how I thought it was gonna go. I

595
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: don't know, but I think I just expected. Then we

596
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: always crazy, man, But why I mean real talk though.

597
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: But that's where that came from, you know what I'm saying,

598
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: because that what that represented. Now musically it sounded however

599
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: it was sounded, and you know I would agree it wasn't,

600
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, top ten level. I agree, But it was

601
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: an experiment. So he's saying as an artist, that was

602
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: something you had to It was some of that magage

603
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: you ended the kneed because like I said that for

604
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: so let's let's turn it back to me. That represented

605
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: a security element. You know what I'm saying. At that

606
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: point in my life, I just got tired and being well,

607
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: not that not that that's a whole another space. And

608
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: this is not even attached to you. It's more of

609
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: a personal thing. I got tired of you know, my

610
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: kind is being you know that tired of being you know,

611
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: looked at as you know, oh, this guy is just

612
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: one way, you know, like Mikey, Oh he'll do it.

613
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I'm this way because I want to

614
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: be this way. I want to be this way because

615
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: you don't want the other guy. And if people keep thinking, oh,

616
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: you're singing love something like, dude, No, that's my job.

617
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: This is my job. It's a whole another thing that

618
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure out and navigate through and

619
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: unpacking all of these other woke as words that I've

620
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: just learned about how to figure out how to deal

621
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: with all of this, you know what I'm saying. So

622
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: what the Hustle represented was my self security kicking in.

623
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: So if you listen to the lyrics, I'm saying a

624
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: lot of like real ship, But I don't think it

625
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: was that received well because people couldn't they couldn't they

626
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: couldn't see past the music. SOULDI outs, you know, they

627
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: couldn't see they couldn't see the hustle because they couldn't

628
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: see past music? What do you do as an artist

629
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: in all these times? Wasn't what you do is not received?

630
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: Does that cripple you a little bit? And I didn't

631
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: know how to receive that because again I thought that

632
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: I had enough people who would ride with me. But

633
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: I think it was a little overwhelming because it was

634
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: such a stark difference, you know what I'm saying. And

635
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: at the time, I think, people, yeah, you ain't telling

636
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: me nothing. You just showed up decause I didn't think it,

637
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: because again I didn't know what I was doing. It

638
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: was like a whole new no, no, no. I was

639
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: literally saying, Hey, I don't know what this is gonna be.

640
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: But because y'all are already rocking with me, let's build

641
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: this thing from the ground. Let's let's raise this baby together.

642
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But nobody wanted to help

643
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: me raise the baby. Don't know. I understand, I understand

644
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: the world of me. But you accept the music soldial

645
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: because but but I tell you why, I from my perspective,

646
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: why we accept the music SOLDI out Because what music

647
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: SOLDI out game is something that we identified with that

648
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: spoke to what we were going through in our day day.

649
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: So what he's saying is hustle, and he wouldn't I

650
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: respect that, but when you already have given a soundtrack

651
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: to Nigga's lives, like like you said, we nigger, I

652
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 1: didn't got puss it to the music went on dates

653
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: and then you show up like yeah, Nigga would I'm like, oh,

654
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: who's this guy trying to take my thing? Listen? Listen, listen, listen.

655
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: This is why I went to see you. See what

656
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, See how I rate you just got

657
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: you weren't listening to nothing else. I'm literally telling you

658
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: that Nigga still there, right, go talk to him. Well,

659
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: he wasn't around. I was looking, No, he was. He

660
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: was had to put a whole album, but that's what

661
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: I was listening to. But then the hustle keep listening

662
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: to that. Okay, you ain't had to listen to the hustle,

663
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: yeah right, you you really didn't. I didn't because it

664
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: wasn't for you. Yeah, but I just wanted to know

665
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: what the mentality was and now understanding that didn't. After that,

666
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: I put out a double album. Yeah I know, I

667
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: know all the R but everything you put out R

668
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: and B cool sense. And then I put out another

669
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: persona Miss that Purple Wonder Love. Yeah, I missed Purple one.

670
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, what was purple wondering exactly? Now I

671
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: want you to tell me that's just in second. Ye,

672
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. The point I was trying to

673
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: make it is I saw an opportunity to do something new.

674
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: People were putting out albums. Cool, I'm gonna put out personalities. See,

675
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: now you gotta start somewhere. They're gonna love everything that

676
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: you do. I was preparing for you, just gonna make

677
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: That's the point that I didn't say that because you years, Okay, cool,

678
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something else. I'm gonna keep doing this,

679
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: but I got me a side house over there. I'm

680
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing my job. But now I'm doing me.

681
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: So when you're doing you, it's not well received. What

682
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: do you think that says to me? Wonder that people

683
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: only want you to do your job? Yeah, that people

684
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: only want you to do your job. So I appreciate

685
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: you bringing that up. So we just script script music

686
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: for a second. That was another the reason no, no, no, Well,

687
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: first of all, for the record music sold shot is

688
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: the first persona right, Let's let's just get that straight.

689
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: I didn't come out you know my Mama's space as

690
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: music that got developed and turned into something that you

691
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: all know now out it actually started music and Soulcho

692
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: was two different thought processes, but I put them together

693
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: because Soulcho was the name that I wanted to release

694
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: myself as music was a name I got to deal with.

695
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: So I had a discussion on my manager at the time,

696
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: and he was like, dude, why would you change her name?

697
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: Like we got you to deal as music and people

698
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: that know you don't use music, like, why would you

699
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: flict it like that? Like I was like, well, first

700
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: of all, you ain't telling mean y'all shop in what

701
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: the game plan was. But but you know we're here now.

702
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: So I said, you know what, let's just put it

703
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: together like bust the rhymes, you go, you got music,

704
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: soul chout. He was like, okay, cool, we could do that.

705
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: But after I put out the first album, I didn't

706
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: feel like I was honoring me. I wasn't honoring the

707
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: soul Child idea. I was just doing my job that

708
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: I got hired for as music. So I said, cool, Well,

709
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: I want to at some point introduced myself as the

710
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: thing that I want to do, but I'm gonna do

711
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: that at a later time. In the meantime, let's just

712
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: focus all the attention on who got the job. Music

713
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: was the one that got the job, not Soul Child.

714
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: And I know to a lot of people this might

715
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: sound however, it may sound like I'm just being real

716
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: with you. That's the process, So okay, keeping keep so.

717
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: But then that got confused in the people so around

718
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: about what loving music? I said, you know what, let

719
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: me go ahead and just you know, take this l

720
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: with that and just fully incorporate and commit that the

721
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: name is music soul Child, and whatever that idea that

722
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: I had, I'll just come up with another name, and

723
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: I'll come up with an other rollout process with that

724
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: at some other time, you know what I'm saying. So

725
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: it needs to say, did you think that? Because sometimes

726
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: the thing that we want may not be the best

727
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: for us right now? Could you say that the people

728
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: around you, uh saw the best in you? It's possible,

729
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. However, I knew that they

730
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: didn't know me. You have to understand, I started a

731
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: recording in November. I got a deal in two thousand,

732
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: a year in enough time to know somebody that's touching

733
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: and going not really there. So the people that you kept,

734
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: the people that were in your process at that time,

735
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: weren't people that were familiar with your background in any way.

736
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: I just met them maybe a year prior. Oh wow,

737
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: well my managers at the time that introduced me to

738
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: my writing partner and the producer. So I didn't know

739
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: these people that deep. Yeah, we forged a relationship, you

740
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: know that when it's own separate way due to certain events,

741
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, and it's cool now, but it ain't folks

742
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: that I grew up with that they knew me that deep.

743
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: It was everybody was just doing their job and I

744
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: was just honoring that. So coming from Philadelphia though, like

745
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: it's a lot of soul history, you know, you know,

746
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: Harold Melvin and the Blue Nose, all of the all

747
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: the guys that tell the the list goes on, and

748
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: a like, what was that ever? Your goal to be

749
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: amongst those names, because now that's what the that's what

750
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: the whole soul child the idea was. I just but

751
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: here it is what my issue m O was. I

752
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to do it with some hip hop m

753
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: that's where hip hop soul comes from. I grew up

754
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: in in a town that's known for its soul music culture.

755
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: But I grew up in the hip hop generation. So

756
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm listening to hip hop and I'm like, if I

757
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: put these two together music, do you feel you can

758
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: do so? But so back to back to the point

759
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: of the green Like the green light started in fifteen,

760
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: when I started releasing all of these person well, the

761
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: attention was to release all that these personas only got

762
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: two off. I really only got one, well I got

763
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: I guess I got both of them off. But and

764
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to have that conversation ship at the firm.

765
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: But wonder love, I gotta I want to know, at

766
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: least give us one more that you didn't put out

767
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: that you wanted to know. There's more you go, you

768
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: got some more artists, you think. So now now you're

769
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: thinking like how I was thinking back then, and I

770
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: just released my first artist and everybody was like boom,

771
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, let's see why not? But

772
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: but why not? We're like, we're gonna have to like

773
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to rethink that, we're gonna take that

774
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board. But that's a good question,

775
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: you know, And that's what's happening, but it takes time

776
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: to recover. It takes time to recovery, especially emotionally because

777
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: somebody just shipping on your baby, you know what I'm saying.

778
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: So that's that's hard to process your job, right, what

779
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: do you mean why is it work? No, the hustle

780
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: that wasn't work. But that's what I'm saying, like as

781
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: a as an art so now I'm so so what

782
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: I said was, Okay, this is not ready to go

783
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: out yet. We already did what we did, you know

784
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I thought it had a you know,

785
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: a good sure I had. I had I had a

786
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: I thought I had you know what I'm saying. I

787
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: thought I had my ducks in the line. But but

788
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: clearly there was you know a lot of stuff because

789
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not working with the squad of people

790
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: that can like do research and it's literally legit just me.

791
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just like, I just know that to

792
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: hear you talk about the history of the music that

793
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, what then is wrong To hear about the

794
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 1: history of the music that you made and how great

795
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: it is to us, and to hear you say that

796
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: was you're doing your job, But then you get to

797
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: the point where you could be the nigger that you

798
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: wanted to be. But at that point, so people, this

799
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: is the thing that I keep noticing that people getting

800
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: mixed up. The hustle wasn't what I necessarily wanted to be.

801
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: The hustle was something that I was doing at the

802
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: time to see what it could be. Okay, it was

803
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: just a test run, right, Purple Wonder Love was the

804
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: real nigger was closer to it. So so if since

805
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about this whole idea of personas, and you know,

806
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: if we're actually legit having this conversation. The reason why

807
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: I keep referring the hustle as the baby because the

808
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: hustle was it literally came out of me being in

809
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: Atlanta and all the other ones I didn't I didn't

810
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: spent time with them and lived with them. They got

811
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: back stories. I got a whole thing. This one came

812
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: from me being here. Oh you know what I'm saying,

813
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: That's where it came from you. So I'm like, okay,

814
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: I'm I like these vibes. I don't know what to

815
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: do with them yet, so let me try to see

816
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: and figure out what is the sound Like I reached

817
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 1: out to a couple of people. A lot of people said, no, cool,

818
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: I get it. But some people say, yeah, you know,

819
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: I got a song with a bone crush on that,

820
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: I got someone past Troy on that, I got something

821
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: paining on that I got so long. We were in

822
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: on it like it wasn't no we did. It's not

823
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: like a piston the wind for me like I was

824
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: feeling it. I was. I was committed, but I had

825
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: to also understand, like I didn't get nobody no heads up.

826
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: I didn't get them no said up. But there was

827
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 1: no bread to do that. There was no system behind

828
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,959
Speaker 1: it to make it. You know, okay introduced it to people.

829
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: So thinking about it, you know all those different personas

830
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: right now, I hear you because I know exactly what

831
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: you mean because at one point in time, I was

832
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: wrapping like a motherfucker and yeah no, no nobody, nobody

833
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: care if me. But was was I Once I started saying,

834
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: they're like what you say? I said, oh, y'all want

835
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: to say. You see what I'm saying. So I understood,

836
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: but so I just want to wrap. Let's go back now,

837
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: Let's go back when you were, when you was making

838
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: music and remember you just you just want the same.

839
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: And those were the tracks that they chose, and they

840
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: wasn't in there with you know, was writing room. There

841
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: wasn't not in the beginning, not ageing. And even though

842
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: they weren't in the writing room, they had somebody there.

843
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: The the vibe was in the room. Cool, Okay. Now

844
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:11,240
Speaker 1: the process of you making those records, remember you just sanking.

845
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: You're just going in and sanking. Who was that? That

846
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: was music? That was music music? So all right again

847
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: since we're talking about these, because you gotta saying, like

848
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: I live with these everybody vibes. You know what I'm

849
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: saying all day. Music is the dude that goes to

850
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: work every day. You know what I'm saying. So you know,

851
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: and again just as a disclaimer, I understand how this

852
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: may come across, but this is what it is. So music.

853
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: Everybody knows music. Music goes to work. Music does his job.

854
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 1: Music don't complaining. He'sic, don't talk ship and you don't

855
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: talk back like he's just does a job. He's get

856
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: into the period. Yea, you know what I'm saying. But

857
00:47:50,640 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: suffle back, you know what I'm saying, Purple Wonder, I

858
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: want to talk to the asshole. You have your anyway,

859
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: But this is why I don't talk about it. No, No,

860
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: I know you like with me. No, I know, but

861
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: but now I'm starting to realize. But that was the

862
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: reason why I was finding myself in all of these

863
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: dark as spaces, because I'm not being my full self

864
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: behind trying to be some ship I think everybody wants

865
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: me to be. You gotta pick who you want to be.

866
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: Further now, I'm not now now you gotta understand now.

867
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: But the thing is, I was trying to figure out

868
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: how to do all over them. You got one already

869
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: picked one, already picked hard as the hartist. Even though

870
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: music so child was something that you felt like was created,

871
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: and even though on the intellectual level and as a

872
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: creator you wanted to give them, like you said, different

873
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: persona and different albums. Think about it like this, How

874
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: many does it'll be? Who does it? Was? Ship? He

875
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: beat one? Yeah, we really want to know how many?

876
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: How many pisonas did he do? No, he did a

877
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: couple on, he did a lot on and get a

878
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: lot of So you want to change the music game, No,

879
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 1: not necessarily change the music. And don'tn't that wasn't. That's

880
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: not necessarily the plan, right, the planet is not to

881
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: change the music game, right, the chance that the plan

882
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: is to do something else different, So you're gonna be

883
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: the nigger that was in the music game. Different niggas,

884
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,479
Speaker 1: I guess ultimately, Yeah, Okay, let me ask a hyperdelico question. Say,

885
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: say the hustle take off. I'm talking about it, stupid number,

886
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: and then everybody was like, we want the hustle. You

887
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 1: got awesome, but what if the hustle? But you're telling

888
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: me that, Let me just let me answer that one part.

889
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: Let me let's address the one part. Do you think

890
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: are you implying that it's gonna be to the point

891
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna be like, but we don't never want to

892
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: hear music again. No, I'm not saying that. But what

893
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying is the hustle and took off Golden hot.

894
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want to help Purple Wonderloves

895
00:50:55,600 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: just so you said you're just gonna switch either way

896
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: with this ship. Stupid. I think about it like this,

897
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: if you had a job, you need to leave good.

898
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: So if you had a job that was that you

899
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: was feeding your family from for fifteen years, right, and

900
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: then you just got this new opportunity, but your your

901
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: first job. Say, yo, you know what I'm saying. We

902
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 1: encourage you to go to the new gig. We'll cut

903
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: your hour with something, but you can stay here too.

904
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: You're not gonna work vote gigs man. Michael Jordan played baseball.

905
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: Didn't nobody want to see that ship? I feel that

906
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: one person. I feel he was great, and he was

907
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: a great green he decided to say, you know what,

908
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just go back to basketball. But but trusted me.

909
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,919
Speaker 1: I don't understand which when you say not giving the fund,

910
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: because I'd have made people at this ship. Yeah no,

911
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: we had to call them wonderfront nigger. They go wonderfront,

912
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: Wonder what the front? But no, I started to pose

913
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: about it, and I was like, yeah, yeah, I mean

914
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 1: because I get it. But but the thing is also,

915
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, at the same time, it's simplistic because it's

916
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 1: something that it's natural when you turn into a whole nav.

917
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: I threw my head and started acting like I was

918
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: a rodeo clown again. The motherfucker's might have been every day.

919
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm not. My point is I think

920
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: people keep taking the words and I'm saying and then

921
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: associating it with what they think I'm saying to what

922
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 1: I'm saying, stop the music. I'm not saying that I'm

923
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: turning into another person. I'm just saying I'm playing in

924
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: this movie, and I'm playing in this movie too. But

925
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: you might not like this movie, but you still got

926
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: this one, and then I'm gonna try to do this

927
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: other movie. But see, the thing is, though, but you

928
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: got to accept that. What you're not accept but understand.

929
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: Rather from my perspective as fans, is if we see

930
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: a movie and don't like the movie, it's like I'm

931
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 1: not watching no more of them got THEMN movie. But see,

932
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: you've already given us a movie that's like, I mean,

933
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: a six classics. Want understand this side, I'm already committed

934
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: to take whatever l come with it, because that's what

935
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: comes with you try and ship. You gotta know everybody's

936
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: gonna like everything. That wasn't my issue. My issue was

937
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: I needed to figure out how did I want to respond,

938
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: How did I want to come back from that? Did

939
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: I want to keep pouring into this project and making

940
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: the thing or do I just listen to everybody and

941
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: pull back. I think nobody knew that you was coming

942
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: out with albums are different personas. They was just like, oh,

943
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: he didn't change. But I was saying that. But I

944
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: was saying that I wasn't. Don't listen, you know, I

945
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: haven't get No, you're gonna say ship, I don't amen,

947
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: funny with it. But that be the end of dialogue.

948
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: That but that wouldn't be the end of dialogue. That's crazy.

949
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: Hustle them so and other and I released them. I

950
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,759

00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,439

Speaker 1: got you crystal to answer your questions. So I was

966
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: speaking about how the hustle representing my security, my question

967
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: of security. I just so these are just extentiate. Like

968
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: I mentioned before Parson myself that I just decided as

969
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 1: a creative person to identify and give jobs. I gave

970
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: them names, I gave them backstories because I gotta know

971
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: where all you niggas is, because you're not gonna run

972
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: me nothing to have you. Is it hard to go

973
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: back to music? No, it's easy. No, who, because that's

974
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: the job. So you you you've already accepted this is

975
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: what you've been doing. What I guess, So you've been

976
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: doing the job muscle memory at this point, right, you

977
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Now, what's been happening is I've

978
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: been dealing with a lot of stuff that has nothing

979
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: to do with my job, but has been interfering with

980
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: me doing my job. Right, I had it's fine. You

981
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: know we were gonna talk. Oh no, it's all good.

982
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,959
Speaker 1: He already got me. He got me with uh yeah,

983
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: And I hit him back like hey, that's good. But

984
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: see that's another that's a good thing though. That that

985
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: shows that it's genuine, because if you weren't secure with

986
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: all of this, you would be mad. I don't disrespect

987
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: purple one to love I give you. I don't even

988
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: have the hustles frustrations exactly exactly. So now the so

989
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: I was I was saying about how hustle you know,

990
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying because the hustle represented like yo, man, you

991
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: can't keep you know what I'm saying, Like being that way,

992
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: you can't keep opening your heart and then folks in

993
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: like you can't keep trusting people. You can't keep letting them,

994
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: giving them and giving them road to do you like that,

995
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They only responded to what

996
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: you're giving. You be giving folks everything with no no resume, like,

997
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: stopped doing that. I know you love everybody because thank you,

998
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: what were you doing? I'm glad that you brought that up.

999
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: When you've been deprived of what you need, you try

1000
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: to give it to everybody. You try to be the

1001
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: thing you never got and you don't realize that it

1002
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: ain't for everybody. That's that's wonder love right there, that's

1003
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, right, But but we're trying to

1004
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: get to the loose what about how about how about

1005
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: Docome Purple Wanderloo couldn't talk trying to say because it

1006
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: was on the telephone. I don't know, but they don't

1007
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: know properly want to look like, look, mothering, you ain't

1008
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: saying what they're saying. We're gonna use your voice, but

1009
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what the same don't work like that.

1010
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this, like, but you having

1011
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: that perspective, did that prevent where you have a competitive

1012
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: as as as music? Like, did that keep you from

1013
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: being because there was a lot of artists that were,

1014
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, making music. I never never, I never, I

1015
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: never got into the headspace of being competitive with everybody

1016
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: because yours, yeah, you and other people right makes sense

1017
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: feel better? But I say that we're gonna cook you up,

1018
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: even you one of the guys that I would always

1019
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're getting the arguments about R and B music.

1020
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying because especially back when it

1021
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: was still like his own thing, like you was one

1022
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: of the niggas out with all that black man niggas.

1023
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: Like with music, nigga, that nigga go hard because you

1024
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: got them them songs that it's not just you know,

1025
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: you got some R and B singers that just sing

1026
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: and you know crew so so you did all the hipps.

1027
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: So now here's the thing that got brought to my

1028
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: attention from from from my guys. You know what I'm saying,

1029
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: if you really listen to the song, and you wouldn't

1030
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: know unless I told you, I can pinpoint where what

1031
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: song got hijacked by these other niggas. There's been a

1032
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: lot of it's been. It's been some hustle in there.

1033
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: It's been some purple in there. It's been you know,

1034
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: some some of them other guys in there. But I

1035
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: tried the whole running down the music lane wasn't enough, right,

1036
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not I'm not

1037
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: presenting that element or that that vibe and it's you

1038
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: know intended form um package. Right. Yeah, you know what

1039
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: I saying, I'm wandering it down. You know what I'm

1040
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: saying because I gotta be this guy. So I said,

1041
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna stop doing that. Whatever this guy is,

1042
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: whatever this sound is, whatever this space is, I'm just

1043
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 1: going to honor that and then leave it alone. That's

1044
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: why the names, you know what I'm saying. So I'm

1045
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: not messing with this because I know people. They they

1046
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: they they hard by this, you know what I'm saying.

1047
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm not gonna try to force nothing into

1048
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: I tried it, it didn't work. So when people like,

1049
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: why don't you just calling it, because that's not what's happening.

1050
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Something else is happening and it deserves its own spaces

1051
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: on lane, its own name, is own thing. But that

1052
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: may be it. That's fearlessness, though, when you think about it,

1053
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: even though it took you the time, because you didn't

1054
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: worry about that affecting the music. I mean the music

1055
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: so child as you had already laid down for them then,

1056
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: because because I had a lot of confidence that there

1057
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: was so so much momentum that I could afford to

1058
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: step out and try something and if it didn't work,

1059
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: I still got this right sense, but I was so

1060
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: committed to the other thing, Like, okay, if you're on

1061
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: fool with it then cool. That just mean that I

1062
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: gotta work harder than making it better. Now at this point,

1063
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Are you planning on releasing

1064
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: anybody else? But but I need to just as a

1065
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: personal thing, like I need to make good on what

1066
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I already did, you know what. So for instance, on

1067
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: my new album Feel the Real, I did a feature.

1068
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I did a Hustle feature on the album on one

1069
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: of the songs, and that one feature, that one verse

1070
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: feels way better than anything that I've done as the Hustle.

1071
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: And I liked what I did as the Hustle, even

1072
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: the stuff that I didn't even release yet, that one verse.

1073
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: So basically, you want to put it out now that

1074
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: you learn how to receive when it ever comes, win it.

1075
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: You knew how to adgist and then make that artist.

1076
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm a better artist. Yeah. But see that's what that

1077
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: goes back to my point that like you're saying, you

1078
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: did that verse on on a music album, Like I

1079
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: know that if I was listening to a music album

1080
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and I've seen the Hustle, I would be like, who

1081
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: is the Hustle? And that makes but that was but

1082
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: that was the original plan. Y'all want supposed to know

1083
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: that as me. Okay, but you know you can't hand

1084
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: that on social media. Everybody knows it. You can't. Right,

1085
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: you were supposed to drop it. What happened? That's smart dropping,

1086
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: not saying it is m what get three different checks?

1087
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: That was supposed to be the plan? Come on, that

1088
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: was a great idea, you know what I'm saying. So

1089
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: I just took that lesson in whatever I'm about. Whenever

1090
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: I do it again, I'm gonna take that route. Yeah,

1091
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't know until it's already a thing. Yeah, even

1092
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: if I wanted to take it serious. Once I've seen

1093
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: the leather crown fitted, I was like music, But that's

1094
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: like that wasn't That wasn't the plan. This is something

1095
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: that happened, right, you know, and strategy it was figure

1096
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: it out. Just showed that one day and they thinking

1097
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: their music comes to the interview. You showed up as

1098
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: the phone. No no, no, no, they weren't formed, that

1099
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: were formed, right, moved like that. However, you did have

1100
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: people that even though I may have moved, you know, professionally,

1101
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: they didn't move professionally because they were like, oh no, yeah,

1102
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: we'll talk to those when I got the soul music

1103
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: soul shot. Understand that that's not what this is. You

1104
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: want to miss a Souldiot interview, set up a music

1105
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: Souldiot interview. But see as the hustle, you could cut

1106
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:31,439
Speaker 1: their ass out, bitch at me. I told you, whole

1107
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: ass niggas ain't no music. Exactly, it's back the dog shit.

1108
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: I wanted you, but I didn't want it, but I

1109
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to instigate that never did on my name.

1110
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't the hustle with your whole nigga buck. They

1111
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: ain't no music, niger I knocked your motherfucking nose. You're

1112
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: talking about whole ass and they ain't no music. Nig

1113
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: I stopped on this motherfucking table nigga nigger talk. You

1114
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: talk about that. That would have made that, I know,

1115
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: that would have made me like, oh, this nigga's a

1116
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: different nigger. But now in my line, I'm thinking, no,

1117
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't do that, because you're gonna scare folks. You're

1118
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: already confused. You're gonna scare them. Don't scare him. So

1119
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: I feel I felt like I felt like, like say,

1120
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: for example, like how her dropped right, nobody really saw

1121
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: her face, but you hear her music like you're crazy.

1122
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: Nobody knew no, yeah face, no, I understand that. And

1123
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: I because I made the wrong move and I said,

1124
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: you know what, Okay, folks won't see me anyway. I'm

1125
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: as leaning to it whatever. After what happened, what I

1126
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: knew was gonna happen, I was like, I can't take

1127
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: it back now. And that's why I keep saying. I

1128
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: had to commit to it and I had to keep

1129
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: pushing through. It didn't roll out how I wanted it

1130
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: to roll out, because you had too many people that

1131
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: weren't confident in it, and they wanted to lean on music.

1132
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna argue with the people that are

1133
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: helping me because they don't know what's in here. And

1134
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: I ain't got time to explain to you why it's

1135
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: better to go this way. I got gonna listen to

1136
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: the husks. And now, in hindsight thought, which is always twenty,

1137
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: how would you do it today? If today nobody, if

1138
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 1: it never happened, like, I wouldn't even mention, I would

1139
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: just put records out. You know what I'm saying, And

1140
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: whatever it does was it'll be that you you wouldn't

1141
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: care about when that when that, when that one hit.

1142
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You show up and that's

1143
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: that's that makes sense? You know? And and and how

1144
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: I know it's because I had people play it for people.

1145
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: I put out a single and have you play it

1146
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: for people in all this goal. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,

1147
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: you know what if I told you as hell, no

1148
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: man playing this, it's like, wow, I know I know

1149
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: exactly how you feel. Because I got an album called

1150
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: if you Didn't Know Me? You see what I'm saying.

1151
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: When I was trying to literally merge the R and B, so,

1152
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: I came up with the concept just to put people

1153
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: mindset like if somebody was giving you to see them like,

1154
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: this is my cousin, that's why you see my face.

1155
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: But if you didn't know me, I want to put

1156
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: you in mind not know if you know me for

1157
01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: the communy. If you just didn't know me and you

1158
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: listen to it, you'll be like, oh, this motherfucker. Now

1159
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: what what I did what was encouraging is that when

1160
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,439
Speaker 1: I started moving around there was people that were shout

1161
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: out the hustle at the music old I said, I'm like, hey,

1163
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: oh so we show taking people when it STOPR music,

1166
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: Like yeah? And then we got things. Three motherfuckers they

01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: so then I tried to do it with with purple.

1170
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: I tried to do a show. It was only advertised

1171

1174
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: this doing it in real time. It's just ideas in

1175
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: my head, so like to make them happen in real life,

1176
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I know how to react and

1177
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: be whatever with music. I don't know what to do

1178
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: with these other guys. I need time why not whole ever?

1179
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 1: What you do? You open up Twitter account it's purple

1180
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: won to love and just keep retweeting the ship is

1181
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: music and that's not you know what I'm saying. You

1182
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: throw the ideas out like that. See how they received

1183
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: and then that's the way you slow walking and okay, okay,

1184
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: they couldn't do one project always says that everybody always says,

1185
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: and that's not a bad idea, that's not project, that's

1186
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: not a bad idea, and that is the plan. Can

1187
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: they get a music feature? Yeah, the mind of music

1188
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: that would be you're not the only one that I'm

1189
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: not not to shoot you down, but that's not the

1190
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: only person that came up with that. You know, it's

1191
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: a great idea music. And now, okay, I'm actually more

1192
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 1: inclined to go that way. You actually like that, like that,

1193
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 1: but but so you called me, I don't from that's

1194
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: not even perfect. But you're gonna you're gonna listen. You're

1195
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna listen. You're gonna listen to purple and you're gonna

1196
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: get it. You're gonna get them. So but what I

1197
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: had in mind, it's like, okay, I could do that,

1198
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: but it would hit different if people knew who all

1199
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: of these people were. But that's what I was asking.

1200
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 1: Why they get a whole album? They don't just they

1201
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 1: needed a whole like seven songs, that's like start a

1202
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Facebook page first. No, I got an instant. It's all

1203
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:09,839
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, you understood. First of all, y'all wouldn't

1204
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: have even known about it if we weren't talking about it.

1205
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying, we wanted to get it off

1206
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: of your chance so you can see you feel like

1207
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: they had enough gut done exposed. There's gonna be niggers

1208
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: in the house. You spelled purple perform. You know what

1209
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: I will say though, what a well said the Purple

1210
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: one to love? The people that people caught on the

1211
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Purple Wonderlove, I ain't really do thathing with it. I

1212
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: just put it out people finding themselves. You're trying not

1213
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: to tell us what their Instagram is? Yeah, what's the

1214
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: Purple one Love? So what about that? Take off? Right?

1215
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: And and they prob's about to take off after this?

1216
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: You don't know about in the comments hash that Purple

1217
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: Wonder Love. Listen, that's a video with me. I shot

1218
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: a view it for one of the songs that I

1219
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: want to what about the rest on? So what I

1220
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: wanted to take off? So I got to honor what

1221
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: I did first, Like I want I want this to

1222
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: take off to get people even in the mindset of

1223
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: even knowing how to receive either like I got I

1224
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: need for we both actually and everything my words out.

1225
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get the idea to people first, that's

1226
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: a person doing different things that by itself is they

1227
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 1: ain't never been heard of. It's a jump from me

1228
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: that inception. That's what you got. They ain't never been

1229
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: heard of in music, Like I got two different artists.

1230
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: That's me. That's that's fire right now. I mean Kanye

1231
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: kind of did it with eight oor Ways and heartbreaks,

1232
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But he was still Kanya.

1233
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, but it was, but it was there. I

1234
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 1: actually like that one. I see. I definitely see where

1235
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: you're going on with I think people perceived different. I'm

1236
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna lit to all. I keep getting the print black.

1237
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: So the idea for Purple Wonder Love is I just

1238
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: thought one day, like, what would it sound like if

1239
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: you put Bob Molly vibes with vibes they respect that

1240
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: they know they mess with. I'll just follow people one

1241
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 1: of the little yeah outside, No, this ain't got nothing

1242
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: to do with nobody but you. But you known for

1243
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: the glasses. The frame. I'm a big frame pers That's

1244
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: a big reason why I like, where do you get

1245
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: your your like you get your ships specially made or

1246
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: not ever try. I even try to link with a

1247
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 1: few people, but you know, they didn't really go that far.

1248
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't make you ain't they

1249
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:03,560
Speaker 1: still something? The moment we saw you, you had the

1250
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: cold ass frames like some people I don't don't get.

1251
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 1: Would you want even if it wasn't a big brand

1252
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 1: in dependent don't matter as long as long as it's

1253
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: something that I would actually wear. You know what I'm saying.

1254
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to rep the brand and I'm not

1255
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: gonna wear who didn't need to hit you? No, though,

1256
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: I think that would be dope because I know that,

1257
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, from the from the first moment we saw you,

1258
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 1: you had and it was always the cold and then

1259
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: like those like that. Then was the first time I

1260
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: ever seen those type of frames or you know what

1261
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean. So I give you credit. This is a

1262
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: soul for the record. This is a low key shout

1263
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: out to Stevie because Stevie is essentially my music teacher

1264
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know it. So I meant him a

1265
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 1: couple of times. Yeah, you know, I'm saying it's cool,

1266
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: and you know I gave him his you know, when

1267
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: I told him, you know what I'm saying, whatever, whatever,

1268
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: But I'm sure he gets that all the time. So

1269
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't really, like, you know, expect that to go

1270
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: that far. But you know, it's what if he doing

1271
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: what if he was like, it's about time show some love.

1272
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure people would have given him. But what if,

1273
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:09,799
Speaker 1: like you said, what if it ain't from the motherfucker's

1274
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: he wanted from? Right? But yeah, so you know, it's

1275
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: it's just a you know, my own constant reminder of

1276
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: where it started from me right saying. So like speaking

1277
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: to you, say, Stevie is your musical teachers? Which what's

1278
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: your like? Stevie has one of the best albums ever

1279
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 1: made to me, top five albums of the songs kid,

1280
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: So like, what's your favorite Stevie? Who have a favorite?

1281
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: How the fun? You have a favorite? Because because because

1282
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: all of them, You're talking to me like, Okay, I

1283
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 1: thought it was proper one loves maybe just started and

1284
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: you don't got him back because he was trying to cool,

1285
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: tried to think, well, to be cool. You brought him back.

1286
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 1: You're just gonna let him in. He would try to

1287
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:21,680

1288
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: that's but but but so the first thing that comes

1289
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: to mind is Intervisions. Okay, that's old school. Yeah, that's

1290
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: listening interivisions for a long time. You know. Well, it

1291
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: was a toss up between individence and music in my mind.

1292
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It was a toss up

1293
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: between them too, you know what I'm saying. Any like

1294

1321
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: I was sagging over that sad. I'm talking about the

1322
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 1: person to the song that's cleared up. I don't want

1323

Speaker 1: them sagging on niggas with y'all. Yeah, that's my favorite ship. No,

1324
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: I think it was just it was just like, listen

1325
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: to Sattder and if you'm sacking all, listen to sadder

1326
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: and see if that's what he's talking about. No, I

1327
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: think it was. I think it was like, you know,

1328
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:48,640
Speaker 1: kind of like a play on words kind of thing

1329
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: that kind of got creative. So sagging on and but

1330
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 1: the music sounds so spacey, it's like, why not make

1331
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: a Saturn? Okay. I don't know how the story went,

1332
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 1: and and I think that I saw it on the

1333
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 1: documentary that they did about it. I don't know who

1334
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: who told that story. Um, I don't know how how

1335
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 1: true it is, but I would assume that it's legit.

1336
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, because I don't think he

1337
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: was saying on the documentary. Okay, but I make that

1338
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: I agree. I just know Saturn it's about the place

1339
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: that and I've been the sagging on this hood. Then

1340
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 1: the motherfucker you ain't flying around that bit. You got

1341
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: to check in the sagond off. You ain't got to

1342
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: check in the satur You better check in the sagging

1343
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: though you know that, oh yeah, is definitely not that.

1344
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, but that was known. I didn't. There's so

1345
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: much crap bro like, but I don't know what everybody catches,

1346
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 1: especially nowadays. It's it's a whole bunch of traffic out there.

1347
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: So I don't know. So I just figured with the Posana,

1348
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 1: just keep throwing a whole bunch of other stuff out there.

1349
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: Maybe they might like this, maybe they might like that.

1350
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. So in the space that you hear

1351
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 1: right now, do you feel? Do you feel music? So

1352
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 1: try he's gonna gonna gonna hit us with some ship. Yeah,

1353
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 1: but I needed to come regroup. I needed to, like

1354
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 1: I kind of lost the road, you know what I'm

1355
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: saying in a way to speak. I couldn't see the

1356
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:07,560
Speaker 1: road no more. Like you know, you do something for

1357
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: so long, you know, and everything was happening so for

1358
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: everything happened so fast for me, I never had time

1359
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,719
Speaker 1: to develop. I was developed like what people don't understand,

1360
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: like my entire career. Yeah, I've been watching my learning

1361
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: curve the whole time, you know what I'm saying, Like

1362
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: most of the time, I you know what I was doing.

1363
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: I was just this makes sense, you know. My survival

1364
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: instincts just kept kicking in. I just happened to be

1365
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: extremely super high functioning under uncomfortable circumstances because that was

1366
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,759
Speaker 1: my life. So I figure it out. But it's only

1367
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 1: now that I'm able to reflect on everything, and I'm like,

1368
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: all right, I need to I need this stuff differently.

1369
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that again. But if I'm do

1370
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: this again, I gotta do so what they'd be saying

1371
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: when you'd be doing this ship like that your own

1372
01:18:50,960 --> 01:19:00,600

1373
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: Really yeah, they're extremely encouraging. However, you know what I'm saying,

1374
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:10,760

01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: Just no, because you're what I'm saying. I think about

Speaker 1: But which one do you know the most about and

1497
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 1: why and whatever that may be. Do you think that

1498
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: one should be the next one? You know, I think

1499
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 1: that should be. I think once if I can get

1500
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 1: everybody with everybody, but if I can get a lot

1501
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: of people to understand what's happening, you know, and kind

1502
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: of take away the you know, the part about it

1503
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: out of the way, and people just honored the fact that, oh, dude,

1504
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 1: just being creative, you know what I'm saying. And I'm

1505
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: not known for putting out crap. I know you probably

1506
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: didn't fool with the Hustle, but I put a lot

1507
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: of work into it. He didn't food with the I

1508
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: just said I didn't listen to it. I didn't say

1509
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 1: I didn't listen to it because I was confused. I

1510
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:56,719
Speaker 1: didn't have the understanding that I have now know, well

1511
01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, what he helln I got told that

1512
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: I was no longer on the label for the minute,

1513
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: so I was like, that's when I get myself a

01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 1: before the host this is before Actually it was while

1517
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 1: I was recording the Hustle time out. See, that's that's

1518
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 1: the part that you gotta go into that part of

1519
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: the record industry. You mean to tell me that music

1520
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: Soul Child got dropped from a label. It's a way

1521
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 1: that that's the way that you could say it. But yeah,

1522
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: I got let go what yeah? Not not the motherfucker

1523
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:37,760

01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 1: your baby go. Yeah yeah, you know what I'm saying.

1525
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:46,799
Speaker 1: But it was a lot that went into that decision.

1526
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure I wasn't part of that decision clearly, except

1527
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, on the other side of it. And it

1528
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 1: got you know, secondhand, you know what, what reason do

1529
01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: you think that because that the music change, I don't know,

1530
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:04,680
Speaker 1: don't know, it was just one of them day yep, man,

1531
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: that's a cold but but but I was so in

1532
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: my bag at the time where I was like, I

1533
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 1: was excited. I was like, cool, let's go. I have

1534
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: no reason to hold bag anymore. I can just try

1535
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:21,280
Speaker 1: whatever I want to try out now, right, Okay? You

1536
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:23,960
Speaker 1: know I eventually, you know, got signed to an indie

1537
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, or a smaller label distribution company actually, and

1538
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: that's what I put out the next two friends, Life

1539
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:33,560
Speaker 1: on Earth and Feel the Real And now now do

1540
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: you like it? Do you find it easier to do

1541
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,719
Speaker 1: your job independently or with the machine? You know, it's different,

1542
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 1: Like you you swap out things, you know what I'm saying.

1543
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: So with the machine, you get all the resources, but

1544
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: you don't really have too much of the sake, you

1545
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:52,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, not really. But when you go

1546
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:56,640
Speaker 1: the other way, what's whatever you want to do, but

1547
01:29:56,760 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 1: it's also whatever you can afford. So it's all about

1548
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:05,559
Speaker 1: what's important to you. But now I'm you know, I'm

1549
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: in a space where I don't I don't I might

1550
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 1: need to lean I don't know, I might need to

1551
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: just go either completely indeed, you know, myself myself, or

1552
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 1: just go back, you know, into my doing my job

1553
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 1: bag to get the bag so that I'm not everything else.

1554
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 1: You such a goat money and you ain't. I don't

1555
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:32,720
Speaker 1: know label if you will to you and they're gonna

1556
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: call him, he's back. I know he never went to

1557
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:41,280
Speaker 1: had to. I think I just needed a time to

1558
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 1: process everything. I've never had time to process anything. I've

1559
01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 1: been just go, go, go, go go since day one.

1560
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 1: I never stopped. So really this is just a release,

1561
01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:54,559
Speaker 1: but I needed it. Yeah, you can come back here anytime.

1562
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I feel like this has been very therapy. It's definitely

1563
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:03,719
Speaker 1: won't really get to talk like this. Everybody never answered

1564
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 1: the question. Now. No, That's why I was getting there,

1565
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 1: because you know, we're put an independent together. Now we

1566
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 1: can make some shooting. How much music so child, have

1567
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 1: you kept from released? Like? How much of that is?

1568
01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 1: I had a lot of it. I just like legit

1569
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 1: loss because a lot of it's part of studios. I

1570
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 1: don't think our studios anymore. I don't know how the

1571
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 1: housekeeping was with keeping up with the files and stuff. Um,

1572
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm not really in good standing with a lot of people.

1573
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't gonna be for nobody, but it's no real

1574
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:35,599
Speaker 1: relationship there. I probably don't even know how to reach

1575
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 1: out to them. I don't even know if they care anymore.

1576
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:40,639
Speaker 1: I don't care. So it's like a lot of different

1577
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 1: you know that never got released. You know stuff I

1578
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 1: can't even remember right now that you know, hard drive

1579
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 1: ability keep. I was really bad at that. That was

1580
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 1: really bad. Just want to say, just showing up making

1581
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 1: the bangers and leave somebody under that ship, you know

1582
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I've since learned, you know what

1583
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I have a lot of stuff now

1584
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 1: that that that I hold on to. A lot of

1585
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:07,760
Speaker 1: it is like ideas, you know what I'm saying. A

1586
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: lot of it is the prisona stuff, you know what

1587
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm just waiting to see the rod where

1588
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 1: I could like make it make sense to y'all, because

1589
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm just doing it for myself, that

1590
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: ain't no fun. I want to do it for y'all.

1591
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: You just drop and we'll figure out. We'll figure out

1592
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:22,559
Speaker 1: what we like. You have to change what I'm saying,

1593
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 1: But I needed not to cut you up and cut

1594
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:27,640
Speaker 1: me off. Is the responsible to hustle. It kind of

1595
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:29,720
Speaker 1: set me back a bit. So I had to like

1596
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: come out of that so that I can get back

1597
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 1: to where I was, my my where I was like

1598
01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 1: standing firm, and I'm like, I'm just gonna do whatever.

1599
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:39,840
Speaker 1: And I've been saying that. You know what I'm saying.

1600
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:42,879
Speaker 1: I need to stop worrying about how it's gonna be received.

1601
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:46,760
Speaker 1: I need to put it out and whoever, you know, whatever,

1602
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 1: whatever they do right, get out your own head right.

1603
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 1: That's what I'm about to say. Are you changing your

1604
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,479
Speaker 1: day to day like if you when you're doing these

1605
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,760
Speaker 1: different poisonas, do you change what he's like whatever your

1606
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 1: day to day process in to fit the mind I

1607
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 1: want to. I like to honor it. I like to

1608
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 1: honor it because that's that's what's happening. Like I don't

1609
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 1: want to do purpect one of love looking like music

1610
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: soldia like that don't make sense, you know what I'm saying.

1611
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:11,720
Speaker 1: But it's they're not so far gone from me where

1612
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 1: I gotta get into a mindset like they're like, you know,

1613
01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 1: it's whatever I'm doing in the moment. If I'm being music,

1614
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm being music. If I'm doing I'm doing the hustle.

1615
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 1: But I just want to honor my thing is I

1616
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 1: need for people to honor because it's not gonna work.

1617
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 1: Music like it's not gonna work. Nobody's gonna have a

1618
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 1: good time, because I know for a fact right now

1619
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:30,680
Speaker 1: you shut out. Well, as long is your name is

1620
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 1: music more popular than all the mother and I know that,

1621
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:35,880
Speaker 1: which is why I never you know, I'm not I'm

1622
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: not keep trying to tell you I'm not stopping music

1623
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 1: like music is still there. If you just want to

1624
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:44,799
Speaker 1: you don't care about nothing, don't care about it, focus

1625
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 1: on music. But you know, but there are people that do,

1626
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 1: and I want to do it for them, and I

1627
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 1: don't want to water it down or compromise it because

1628
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: then the people that do like it, it's gonna be like, man,

Speaker 1: you ain't coming with it. And it's like, well, you

1630
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:58,519

01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be creative and get it out,

1807
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, get it out of my head. I listened

1808
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 1: to stuff like it's been it's been five years, six

1809
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 1: years now, and I listened back like, yo, that was

1810
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:03,080
Speaker 1: for me. I needed to hear myself back to myself

1811
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 1: because I didn't understand that I was going to go

1812
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:07,200
Speaker 1: through what I went through in the last past three years.

1813
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 1: It got real dark from me. And listening to that

1814
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 1: was like, hey man, you said it yourself, don't be shocked.

1815
01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:22,200
Speaker 1: Give it a listening. You want to be thirty two

1816
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:27,759
Speaker 1: new guys. But listening to Purple and listening the Hustle,

1817
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 1: it was almost like, you know, this is why you

1818
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 1: You had to do it then, because you needed the

1819
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 1: reminder of who you are because you're starting to lose

1820
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 1: it because you're not getting what you need from what

1821
01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:41,800
Speaker 1: you already doing. You gotta do more. You gotta do better.

1822
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 1: But before you do better, you gotta clean your crib up.

1823
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 1: Though you've got a lot of stuff you're not dealing with.

1824
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,200
Speaker 1: You gotta work through it. Bro, it's't been watching. Is

01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 1: you to show up. He was on your ship on

1829
01:46:08,600 --> 01:46:12,240
Speaker 1: that month, and I just wanted to change, so I

1830
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:16,679
Speaker 1: didn't and show you the things that you need. Maybe

1831
01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: you was going crazy. I didn't. I didn't write that song.

1832
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: So no, no, no, no, I didn't write the song,

1833
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 1: but I but I recorded it because it had words,

1834
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:33,680
Speaker 1: and I wish that I did right, because because I

1835
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 1: knew how many of us needed that. You know what

1836
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I know how many dudes need that women

1837
01:46:39,479 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: need that they need to hear that from their guys

1838
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 1: because some dudes don't know how to see that. And

1839
01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:47,599
Speaker 1: when I heard the songs, like yeah, I'm gonna do that, iright.

1840
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 1: But you bought it the light even like you bought this.

1841
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 1: It don't matter that you didn't write That's the beauty

1842
01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 1: of that wasn't the point. I know, but I'm just

1843
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 1: saying this a separate point. That's the beauty of R

1844
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 1: and B music. Whereas it rapped, you get chastised if

1845
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 1: you don't write. Hip hip hop is a different thing, right.

1846
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:04,320
Speaker 1: It was R and D I love. It was like

1847
01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 1: it was about you and your bars, baby faces. Nig

1848
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:09,519
Speaker 1: is the greatest of all to Nigga, I'm talking about

1849
01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 1: Nigga that to show up and write you some shing

1850
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 1: and I just always find it great. The great writer

1851
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 1: is the ones that can write from not just their

1852
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,639
Speaker 1: own perspective, like a neo, who can write from a woman,

1853
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 1: like a song called Miss Philadelphia. Oh yeah, that's on

1854
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:27,680
Speaker 1: love and music, right, yeah, nigger, I'm a fan. I'm not.

1855
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:32,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you know, I don't know what he

1856
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 1: was about to say, Well, you know, love, that's a

1857
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:43,599
Speaker 1: whole another person. You know, that's crazy person that's not mad.

1858
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:47,400
Speaker 1: But but but but but but I was saying. I

1859
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 1: was saying that to say that, you know, a song

1860
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 1: that teaches me is so necessary. This is the part

1861
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,760
Speaker 1: where I'm talking about doing my job. I'm proud of

1862
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 1: the job that I've done because I felt like I

1863
01:47:58,400 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 1: was providing the service. It wasn't about me and what

1864
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:03,639
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. It was about no, these things

1865
01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: need to be said in a package that you that

1866
01:48:07,439 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 1: you have because it's gonna hit different if it comes

1867
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:12,920
Speaker 1: from somebody else. You were the one that was given

1868
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:16,720
Speaker 1: this message to convey to the people this way. You

1869
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:18,760
Speaker 1: know all the elements that make you who you are.

1870
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 1: That's how it's gonna be received, just like anybody else,

1871
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:24,160
Speaker 1: any other artists, like if it was if they didn't

1872
01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:26,200
Speaker 1: do it, it wouldn't have hit the same, you know

1873
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:28,679
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I was just rising to the occasion.

1874
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:31,040
Speaker 1: I was just answering the call that was but before

1875
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:34,520
Speaker 1: me I was. I was so grateful for the opportunity,

1876
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 1: which is why I did it for so long. And

1877
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:38,720
Speaker 1: I didn't deviate from the plan because I knew how

1878
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:41,680
Speaker 1: necessary it was for y'all. Was it evidenty songs that

1879
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 1: that you turned down and ended up being hit? M

1880
01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 1: was it? But you already said one that somebody else

1881
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,320
Speaker 1: turned down that you ended up making a hit. So
