It was like all these black people 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:52.080 speaking up. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.200 So now here's what I want to tell everybody in 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.760 the world because this is the lesson I learned. 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.439 Because I'm a real nick number one. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.120 I wrote the letter and all my white friends, every 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:01.920 white person I knew in the music industry because I 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.400 was on fire. When I stepped out and said I 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.719 did it, they called me and said they're gonna ask 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.240 you for something. They're gonna ask you what you want 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.320 get paid. All my niggas, my friends and black friends 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:13.920 are calling me like, Yo, thank you, bro. That was 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.880 some hero shit you did. So now I get on 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.679 the call with Aaron and the guy at the other 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.320 guy time and they're like, what do you want? And 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:21.920 I said nothing, man, I just want to I didn't 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:22.160 write that. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:23.040 That wasn't your intention. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.320 My That's why I'm okay with the outcome. But my 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:26.839 intent wasn't that. So they was like, what do you want? 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.120 I was like, I just want y'all to know how 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.720 this is to work with black people, right. And then basically, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.160 now this is when they did me dirty. This is 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.120 basically what happens is in the music business. When you're 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.320 in the contract and anybody knows this, they give you 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.319 six months. So if NOI is my seeing vice president, 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.280 I know I'm not gonna sign Norri. I'm gonna let 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.360 Norri and his a lawyer know six months out, Yo, Norri, 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.720 I ain't getting new contract, bro, Take the next six 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.600 months go find some work. That's not what they did 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.520 to me. They called me, Yo, don't go nowhere. You're 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:52.959 the best guy we got. I know I am, so 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.360 I'm believe in them. They called my lawyer Ray is 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.800 our guy. And what they was doing they was lolla 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.760 buying me to death to get to the secret. The 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.240 two before my contract was up, I'm waiting on a 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.120 new contract, thinking I'm still working. Two days before my 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.280 contract over, there was like nothing's coming, nigga. 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.040 I went home. That's why I loved Kanye so was. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.240 I went home and I cried every day listening to 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.720 the Donda album because I couldn't believe that I put 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.840 my I don't I'm already good, bro. I didn't need 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.600 to write that letter, but I also felt like it 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.839 needed to be said. So once I saw that play out. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.440 I was like, think about my business now. Now I 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.720 don't have a job. So what I got to do? 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.760 Call niggas nor I need a job? What Norrie gonna say? 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:25.199 What happened to you? 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.720 So now I got to explain myself. They put me 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.880 on my heels. So I said, I'm smarter than every 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.319 nigga over there. I'm better than every hand and I 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.480 know how to talk. So somebody asked me a question, 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.760 that's how we get my next job? That was literally it. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:37.960 Yo. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.640 Graf asked me a question, you're right, what's the difference 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.199 to your manager? And an investor asked me, I answered, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.360 put that out. I'm hoping to get a job, nigga, 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.440 I'm not even That's why when you acknowledge me, I'm like, 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.920 y'all acknowledged I'm not a y' I don't understand, like 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.480 I'm really trying to still go run a company right now, 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.600 and that's what I'm really made to do. But I 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.480 started talking online and all of a sudden, Puff posted 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.760 my shit and it just changed everything for me. Puff 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.640 posted me and just left me on his page for 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.720 three days.

He's not thinking like Fat Joe because 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:25.600 Fat Joe the artist will want the record with Cole, 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.480 but Fat Joe so he picked the podcast. So I'm like, 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.040 you know, by the way, I think he's amazing. I 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.720 think he's he's gonna be so big at it. But 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.600 I do believe that somebody said you, I think you 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.400 should because I say shit out loud, and then they. 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.120 Be like, I don't think you should say that, or. 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:39.160 I think you should. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.760 You want me to tell me j Cole and Kendrick 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.080 could have left to some life death. 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.600 Like life deaferent like. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:53.560 Betwen Cole and Kendrick. 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.160 I don't think that would have gotten that far, not 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:55.680 between them. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.600 But you're making my point that I'm trying to say. 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.360 It's no, no, hear me out. You're making my point. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.680 Is what I'm trying to say is it's never them. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:06.919 That's how you're about to say that. 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.240 It's the people that stand. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.520 And the people that are standing behind them wants to 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.080 make a point that's true and they will kill. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:22.440 Tupus murderers and Biggie's murderers. Wasn't Biggie. 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.480 It was the people that were standing. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.840 Next to that'm trying to prove themselves. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:30.399 So when Jake Cole did that, me, as a black man, 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:38.560 as an artist, I said, no, that's terrible. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.359 Got you. But as a black man. 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:45.359 That's understood and understands what's going on in society, that 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.720 understands that, I. 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.480 Agree with j Cole. Bro I did. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:58.880 I was like, Yo, he took a stance. Is it popular? Noah, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:08.400 It's not popular, right No? But what was Tupac's popular. 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.160 Was was was was Biggie? 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.760 Like I know, I know all of these guys right 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.080 from Biggie and Tupac's murder. 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:20.080 I know him all. 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.440 Right, I get it. That's real ship. 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.080 So I understand j Cole's. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.480 Back to the Joe part of it though about him 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.240 on the podcast even but. 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.320 Even but even then, like but even then, like the 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.240 way Joe spoke about j Cole was like he was. 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.280 A battle just as an artist, That's what I'm saying. 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.600 But you know, and so so hit me out. 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.800 He was looking at me out right as in terms 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.440 of hip hop and the culture and battle rapping. Yeah, 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.880 he didn't do the right thing. But as a black man, 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.560 if he wanted to protect himself or Kenjick, is where 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:58.960 it could it go? I get it as a black man. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:56.760 As. 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.600 I want to say this, does MC call my name? 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:01.920 I'm ripping your head off. 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:08.120 But guess what. Guess what, as dot see, you don't 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.400 claim no motherfucking nationality, right right. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:12.240 That's it. 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:13.040 That's if that's true. 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.680 You don't claim that's what if you really. 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:23.120 Know, I'm sorry. You really appreciate being who we are 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:24.760 and know where it can lead to. 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.879 IM about to say that you got to be prepared 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:29.840 for where it could go because it can always go left, 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.640 and to say the truth, the most likely event, because 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.680 we got such big egos and be so sensitive about 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.080 our art, it most likely it will go left. You 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.480 got to be prepared. Don't go let Jacob was going, 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.280 we probably knew, like I want to go back to 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:48.440 l A and whatever. He probably he probably just knew. 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.440 I'm like, I don't need you want the drama because 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:55.120 I don't need. But like if nobody wants drama, it's stressful. 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.439 You don't choose drama just unless you just out. 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:58.080 Of your mind. 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.520 But if it come and you ready to handling situation. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.000 That MC and him was ready to do some m 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:06.160 C ship but then he saw. 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:07.400 Its like where he is going. 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:08.840 He read his car. 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:13.199 He's like, let's I'm with him because I'm not balaning nobody. 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.080 Like if me and grabbed that problem, I want to 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.320 call him. I don't if he says something. 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:17.919 That's how you really. 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:27.840 Felt, really just I'm just too real but human being, 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:30.240 I'm just like yo, like that's why I feel j 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.760 Cole because I really think that Drake and Kendrick was 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:34.480 doing this on some fun play ship, like let's do 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:42.720 it for the culture, and it got ugly. He was like, 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:49.239 he was like, you, I don't I don't think. 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:51.000 I do think that they thought it was gonna. 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:51.200 Go that far. 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:55.960 It was friendly, but I think they were ready for 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:57.439 it to go that far as an m C. 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:01.560 Friendly. 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.800 You're correct too, You're not wrong, but you're not wrong. 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.560 But what I'm saying is as there was friends, that 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:09.120 ship was. 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.520 Bubbling as they were. It was bubbling, but that's my thing. 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.160 But we did, but they never said it. 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.639 That's I mean when you. 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:18.640 Correct me if I'm wrong. 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.400 Wasn't Kendricks a freestyle on. 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:22.600 The BT a ward years ago? 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.400 Wasn't he talking to Drake with all the hogho. 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:28.040 Ark? 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.840 Let me explain, I got you. That is the MC world. 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.080 Bro in the MC world, I hear bars different than 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:34.800 regular people. 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.120 I don't think you're talking about nobody. Even when he said, 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:38.960 ain't no big three, it's just big me. I didn't 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:42.480 know until I heard saying we the big three. I'm like, 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:43.760 but that was a direct shot. 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.040 I was a shot. So it's like and the mcs 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.600 that know each other, they know they talking and coach 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:49.840 to each other. That's my point. 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.800 So they was taking I went back. 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:55.919 You say some ship, ain't you. I can't forgive you 0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:00.000 for ship. I'm a brog. I can't hold on. 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:07.959 Let me say one thing. I respect every move that 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.680 you made. And let me just say this. 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.480 This is me. Y'all can refute me. 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.680 I knew when he engaged into the battle, and then 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.840 I knew when he got out of the battle. When 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.240 he got out of the battle was I did see 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:37.359 you know the Luxel hotel where Tupac drove off, and 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:43.720 I saw that and for that, you know Tupac, that 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:47.280 was September third, I'm born September sixth. 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:56.560 I always look at that like a downfall for hip hop. 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:57.000 Me too. 0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.720 Hip hop hasn't recovered since we have no and hasn't 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:01.399 learned to lessen. 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:03.639 And hip hop has recovered since the Drake Kendrick thing 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:05.520 either like we can't like we are not a place 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.400 where like hip hop is in the worst place ever 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.800 because of the giants fought each other. Yes, giants usually have. 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:12.760 It's like you know they are let me tell you. 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:13.280 They are correct. 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:14.000 They rolling out. 0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:18.080 They are rolling loud Friday night, cold, Saturday night, Drake, 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:19.159 Sunday night, Kendrick. 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:21.159 Think about that. That means that every. 0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:23.680 At the top, you know them little names under all 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.840 those little names, benefited from that day. 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:28.520 Because I'm on. 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.000 The same ticket as Kendrick, we don't have none of 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:32.960 that ship no more so, in my opinion, I think 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.480 that like I think that it was playing. They thought 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:37.439 it was like doing for the culture. They grew up 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:40.240 in hip hop different. I'm forty six, I'm I was 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.760 sixteen with PAWDD, so I grew up knowing how seriously, 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.159 I remember watching The Wars when Dre said it, So 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:46.760 I think that they got to this place where they's like, yo, 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:47.600 let's do it for the culture. 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:49.400 Like those other guys there were friends. What the first 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:50.480 what's the worst that could happen? 0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:51.919 I don't think. I don't think that's the way with 0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:56.280 it person as a rapper, like, I'm on this side 0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:56.920 and y'all. 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:03.199 I would like it to be that. 0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:06.040 Let me tell you, because I'm an MC in the 0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:07.919 street guy, right, So I look at it in two ways. 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:10.760 I understand why j Cole did what he did, and 0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:12.520 I actually I was telling my man this the other day, 0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.560 the street part of my brain. I wish that Drake 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:19.240 did that in the beginning too. I was the first 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:20.919 say that because I was like, when you battle somebody, 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:22.760 let me tell you what I'm telling you. Why when 0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:25.080 you battling somebody in the hip hop shit right, we 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.359 street niggas, so we know it could always go left, 0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:29.639 and most likely it will. You gotta look at this 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:32.560 scenario and say, is this rap no? 0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:33.479 Is this street? 0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:34.200 Yes? 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:37.440 If it goes too far, can I handle it? Am 0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:39.600 I ready for what comes after? The after I put 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.720 this this verse out. If you know in the back 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:43.480 of your mind it's a fight that you might not 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:45.600 win or you don't really want to engage in. You 0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:47.080 got to play chess and figure out the slick way 0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:48.360 to get out of that ship if you're not ready 0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.000 for that smoke, because she could get physical. 0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:50.720 So I'm asking you. 0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:53.040 This why I look at it different, like I want 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:53.399 to go there. 0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:54.680 I'm ready to go all the way. 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:55.879 I mean, you know what I'm saying. 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.760 The way Drake's taking it, like the seriousness the lawsuit. 0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:02.159 You think in his mind, he he knew he was gonna. 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:02.440 Do all that going. 0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.760 I don't think he thought that he hit me out. 0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:06.520 You go into a. 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:08.280 Battle, now you got to think about how far I'm 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:12.520 willing to go. That's that's why when no, then he said, Carmen, 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:15.600 that was you went too far saying somebody name bro 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:16.560 like it was like you. 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:18.960 I just disagree with that. I don't feel like there's no rules. 0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:23.600 Because but you, I'm bad at you and I and 0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:25.080 I and I smashed the baby moms. 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:31.600 That's the first artist by the code. You're wrong that 0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:32.680 you can't battle. 0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:37.159 You're wrong, like because yeah, because because in in in 0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:40.040 the art of battle, like you. 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:40.680 It should be art. 0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:43.359 But that's no rules. There's one of them, and then 0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:45.960 there's the artists that engage in battling. That's two different worlds. 0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.359 That's that's they don't understand the rules. 0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:49.919 That's true when it's a street. 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:51.800 When it when it came his story and it most 0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:54.600 likely will, the rules is gone only rules. There is 0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:58.359 no woman in kids in terms of physical ship. 0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:00.680 But if if I'm hadding. 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.560 You and I smashed the baby moms. 0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:03.960 It's going in the first balls. 0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.360 I'm sorry, yeah yeah, but starting with that, we had 0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:10.159 irv Gotti gonna happen. I love her got the one mean, 0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:12.919 but the first four seconds he was saying it was 0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:13.960 like I was wrong. 0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.280 But he talked about that's not a battle rap dated. 0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:20.720 I'm talking about battle rapout. This is the battle rap No, no, no, no, no, 0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:24.119 that was what you So let me tell what I 0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:24.920 say something like that. 0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:26.040 You're making it about. 0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:27.520 So let me tell you some when you fucking somebody, 0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:30.520 that's a secret. No matter what happened, it's a secret. 0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:32.880 Like like if I see somebody fucking before, like twenty 0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:34.400 years ago, I'm like, we got a secret together. 0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:35.480 We ain't gonna tell nobody. 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.480 So he jay, I think with the nazing, the reason 0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:41.040 why everybody was now because he bothered him and her relationship. 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:43.240 Well that well, I agree with that's what That's what 0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:43.600 I'm saying. 0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:46.959 That mean as a human nigga, it's like you we 0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:47.840 learned our lessons. 0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:49.440 I don't. I'm just saying I don't think like the 0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:50.119 big and pop thing. 0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:54.159 Them niggas hate. They they was real war each other went, 0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:55.679 it's a battle. They was like, let's do it for 0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:59.160 the culture. I think probably got word that many probably 0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:00.760 got word that it was going go a little deeper. 0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:02.200 It was like, you know what both of your niggas 0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:03.919 my friends. I'm a chill and he chilled. 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.840 But I think, like I think Cole probably chilled in 0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:09.840 my opinion because it's not got spoken about it. But 0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:14.280 I think he chilled because he realized what could it 0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:16.800 was the raifications of the ship and the stress that 0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:19.840 beef and general brings. It's nobody wants. 0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:21.520 I don't think that was beef, though I thought it 0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.320 was about It wasn't beef. 0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.760 It could go with him again, I don't think it 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:28.240 was beef. 0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:30.840 But where it could go, but we could go, is 0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:33.000 that's what I mean. I think he sold like this 0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:34.840 can get ugly and I don't want that. I'm friends 0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:36.439 with this man in real life. I don't want it 0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:38.480 to go where it could go, and it might go. 0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:40.159 He might know what he's he will in the right 0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:41.399 he was like, damn what the sun stated this back? 0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:42.240 I gotta pay this back. 0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:44.119 They could go left. I mean, in two seconds, it 0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:47.280 almost felt like two artists that grew up seeing what 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:49.720 happened to Big Park right and said we could take 0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:52.199 it that far, but not that far exactly what you 0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:55.639 got like that learned the lesson, I think, and I 0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:57.520 think that they probably said we ain't gonna hurt each other, 0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:00.320 but I might say some motherfucking words you want gonna 0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:03.400 like today. And when he says pedophile, Drake is like, hold. 0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:06.320 On, brother, he went too fucking far now with probably friends. 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:06.600 That's that. 0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:09.639 That is no longer a joke. You're no longer joking 0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:11.399 on me, bro, you went too far by calling me. 0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:12.399 That is different. 0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.159 And he said, I'm not your fucking friend anymore. And 0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:17.720 that's what happened. I don't think he said I'm assuming universal. 0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:20.600 Because y'all are letting him say this like he don't understand. 0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:22.920 It was a joke. It was just how we talk 0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:24.560 in the streets. 0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:28.080 But then it't start say he beat. I'm trying to 0:28:28.119 --> 0:28:31.080 tell you, yo that the battle rap brain, there's no 0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.800 rules in war. Niggas is not playing nice. 0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.280 And Drake is a fan of battle. 0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:39.200 And if I was about to tell you he's missing 0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.800 his Drake nor Kendrake nor j call the battle rappers. 0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.040 They are artists that can really rap. 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:44.840 And they know they soul. 0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:45.440 They are. 0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.120 Realized that Drake is a big fan of battle. It 0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:52.080 is impossible would Drink to be a battle rapper. What 0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:53.120 way he's got here right now? 0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.160 He started when he's acting right now, he's not a 0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:59.000 battle rapper. Well, I said that that was that personally, 0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:01.120 that's not battle rap. Battle rap is you touch me, 0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:04.960 you up, you say whatever you want, say whatever you want. 0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:07.000 Care but this nigga taking it personal. I'm telling you 0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:07.880 he's taking. 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:09.840 It personal because that was really his friend and he 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:11.400 was like, Bro, you took it too far. 0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:23.160 Man. That's how they talk, like like bros. 0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.160 Okay, listen. 0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:31.880 But he got that top drink. I'm like, there's some 0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:32.760 ship right now. 0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:34.440 I'm telling ship right now. 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:36.760 Is in let's go. 0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:44.440 No, No, I'm gonna be honest.

This this is might 0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:52.840 have been the best battle. 0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:56.840 That was a good yeah period period both Kevin, especially 0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:58.760 when they were going back and forth dropping songs by 0:29:58.760 --> 0:29:59.120 the hour. 0:29:59.240 --> 0:30:00.960 I was like this, bro, Bro, that was the peak 0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.160 of hip hop. That was to me. It was like. 0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:07.640 That we saw on social media as well. In the 0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:10.280 real time.

Really, they ain't got over that ship. 0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:38.680 But that was the peak, that was the moment. It 0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.520 was a Saturday. If it was a fucking satur niggas, 0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:45.160 I'm on a night, I'm eating dinner at National Restaurant. 0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:48.880 We can't say Drake lost the battle.

They engaged in lyrics again, they were yeah, 0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:50.000 they were picking apart the lyrics. 0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:52.880 It was amazing ciphering them, and I love that as 0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:55.280 an older hip hop and like, yo, now y'all we're. 0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:56.800 Doing we was doing you know what I'm saying. I 0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:58.240 hadn't seen that in a long time. 0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:01.320 And then and then not like after they dropped, Think 0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:02.960 about it, when have we had anything good? 0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:04.440 The last thing exciting and hip hop? 0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:06.400 Cole just dropped out and he about to do three 0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:09.200 hundred thousand plus we we were having niggas do Yes, 0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:12.080 we have a niggas under one hundred thousand our stars 0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:14.720 right now. So to me, we kind of tricked ourselves 0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:16.480 out our position if you ask me, Like, hip hop 0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.279 gotta stop being so competitive. We gotta start being a 0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:20.680 little bit more collaborative like pop artists, absolutely, but. 0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:21.840 Hip hop is competitive. 0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:22.720 I mean, I don't just say. 0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:23.560 He hit them. 0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:27.160 It's like black folks when we walk into the room, 0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:28.560 we're trying to figure out how to take each other out. 0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.560 We're trying to figure out like we don't. 0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:30.879 Need each other. 0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:31.759 And what I'm telling is that we. 0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:35.040 Got to start thinking more group economics, more group like nigga. 0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:37.120 I say good shit about everybody. Even now, I don't 0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:39.279 think I said nothing. People talk about how controversy. A 0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.080 I don't think I'm saying that controversy. I'm thinking I'm 0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:42.480 saying what I'll see as a coach. 0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:44.640 Like I'm like Joe said, Yo, y'all. 0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:46.239 Want a hundred million? Fuck it, Jake, And I was like, 0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:49.120 I wish you to say that. I'm listening, Nigga, I 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:51.040 just heard you say. You basically say I want a 0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:54.560 hundred million. So fuck another artist, a fellow artist that 0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.359 can go and get you as a podcaster. But he's 0:34:56.360 --> 0:34:57.680 showing us where his head is at, and I think 0:34:57.680 --> 0:34:59.279 he should be there because he's just as good, if 0:34:59.280 --> 0:34:59.759 not better, as a. 0:34:59.719 --> 0:35:01.080 Podc casta means an artist. 0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:03.640 And by the way, we fal for the record, we 0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:05.760 have Fat joe last single with a Need on DJ Kelly. 0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:08.120 I bet Fat Joe didn't know that that that was. 0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:09.600 On the phone with his people working out the splits 0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:11.040 last year when he dropped direk in Toronto. 0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:11.560 Wrote that ship. 0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:13.200 So I want to see everybody win. 0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:15.160 But you got to ask, like when I'm in the room, Norie, 0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:16.719 I asked, I remember this. 0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:18.200 I'm gonna say this.

I know 0:42:45.000 --> 0:42:46.440 you play though, So yeah, so I learned a lot 0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:48.120 of love. I looked a lot about love from the 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:49.960 Knicks because every year I cheered from But we're good 0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:51.160 this year, so hopefully we go far. 0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:52.440 Yeah, get up to the fucking niggas. 0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:53.360 Let's go for the. 0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:55.879 Plap. 0:42:55.920 --> 0:43:09.359 But we cool with that, Miami he. 0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:09.440 But I just say, man greatness is, and so for me, 0:43:09.480 --> 0:43:10.799 I'll just focus on his greatness, bro. 0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:11.839 And that's why I look at this shit. 0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:13.759 So even when I talk like and I've said things 0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:15.560 that I regret, I've said things that I know. I 0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:16.960 only said one thing I regret and that was about 0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:20.200 it Shanty. I didn't like that one because they edited up. Well, 0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:23.200 we were talking about IRV Gotti and basically said, what 0:43:23.200 --> 0:43:24.960 people don't understand about me is that I'm a nigga. 0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:26.879 I'm a real nigga. So I talk like a real nigga. 0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:29.319 So they said, why do you think a Shanty got 0:43:29.320 --> 0:43:31.040 to IRV Gotti the way she did? 0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:33.319 Like IRV is that nigga. He was that nigga, he 0:43:33.320 --> 0:43:35.480 had all the bitches. Why did that one get to him? 0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:37.279 That's what they asked me, and I said, because he 0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:41.600 gave her his one cheat code. I got one cheek colde. 0:43:41.600 --> 0:43:44.080 I know I'm gonna marry one motherfucker. I'm an marry. 0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:45.960 I'm gonna take somebody to do the marry process. I'm 0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:46.920 gonna get him remakes. 0:43:47.239 --> 0:43:47.920 And he picked a. 0:43:47.920 --> 0:43:49.879 Shanti and she't stay lord to him in his eyes, 0:43:49.920 --> 0:43:50.960 so that's what made him hurt. 0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:53.000 But it came off but I said, basically, he gave 0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:54.600 her the biggest cheat cold of all time. So it 0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:56.480 came up like I was disrespecting her, but I wasn't. 0:43:56.520 --> 0:43:58.000 I was really saying, you know this, when youre a 0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:00.600 nigga graft, you're like, yo, somebody ill nor y'all. I 0:44:00.600 --> 0:44:02.440 got an opportunity for something a female artist. It's like, 0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.200 i'mnna give it to who I want to. If you 0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:05.800 give it to somebody that and they don't repay you, 0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:08.120 that shit hurts you more than anybody. Because IRV coun 0:44:08.239 --> 0:44:10.040 create another shanty, because if he could, he would have. 0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:12.480 My only chance to create a Shanzi was with you 0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:13.520 and now you not with me. 0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:15.600 So nigga, I know that feel to give your whole, 0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:17.239 your whole thing to somebody and they don't love you 0:44:17.280 --> 0:44:19.080 the way you think they should. So that's what I 0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:21.040 was saying, but it came out wrong. But everything I say, 0:44:21.040 --> 0:44:23.719 I'm pretty much back. I support because I'm speaking from 0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:25.680 a good place, and I also admit I'm wrong. I 0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:27.840 was wrong about the damn shit I said, but I 0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:29.399 want to make it. I have a brilli important take. 0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:30.520 I want to say to y'all at the table and 0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:33.120 see what y'all think. I think that the reason why 0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:36.759 we're fucked up in black music is because of one moment. 0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:37.960 In history exactly. 0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:41.240 No, I'm serious, hit me out when Dame Dash cursed 0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:42.279 out Kevin. 0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:45.000 Lyles and Randy Aker, who works with us. 0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:46.160 I didn't know who RADIAKA was. 0:44:46.920 --> 0:44:47.680 I'm saying I didn't know. 0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:49.680 I knew Kevin Lowles was, and I think at that 0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:52.000 moment when he cursed out Kevin Lowles and we saw 0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:54.359 a president of a company again talked to like that 0:44:54.520 --> 0:44:56.040 nobody wants to be an executive no more. 0:44:56.080 --> 0:44:56.960 Everybody want to be Dame. 0:44:57.120 --> 0:44:59.279 And that was in the movie. That was That was 0:44:59.320 --> 0:45:01.680 in bat that says in high school. 0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:02.719 When I saw that ship, I was like, I want 0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:03.160 to be Dame. 0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:05.640 I didn't want to be Kevin. But look at look 0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:06.399 at Kevin is great. 0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:08.520 Kevin is so company for three hundred and thirty million, 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:09.239 He's still here. 0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:10.719 So you just start learning. 0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:12.759 But I think that because when I nobody black wants 0:45:12.800 --> 0:45:14.560 to be in the business. Everybody wants labels. They want 0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:15.799 to own that's our ship. I don't want to work 0:45:16.080 --> 0:45:18.160 my own my ship. But if anybody working in there, 0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:19.719 how are we gonna get people to own ship? 0:45:20.120 --> 0:45:20.400 Right? 0:45:20.480 --> 0:45:22.719 But yeah, sure you got to have a friend in there. 0:45:23.120 --> 0:45:25.320 When when Joey II does his deal with Todd, Moscow 0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:27.040 is tired. He looked out for Todd. That's why Todd 0:45:27.080 --> 0:45:29.279 at that boysel. They look out for each other. So 0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:31.319 we need a nigga in the building to tell us 0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:33.000 like I do, like, yo, this is this what they 0:45:33.000 --> 0:45:33.360 trying to do? 0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:35.839 Get your money?

I want to be 0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:23.520 the person that changes the fucking narrative and talking shit. 0:50:23.719 --> 0:50:24.319 And another thing. 0:50:24.360 --> 0:50:26.640 I also think we look at successful people like they 0:50:26.680 --> 0:50:28.200 know it all. They just like us. 0:50:28.680 --> 0:50:30.279 They'll say the same thing and get a check, just 0:50:30.320 --> 0:50:31.920 like a regular niggas say the same thing and get 0:50:31.920 --> 0:50:33.480 a check. So sometimes you just need a nigga in 0:50:33.480 --> 0:50:36.279 the room with perspective. My father went around, So because 0:50:36.320 --> 0:50:38.120 my father went around, I never have perspective, So I 0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:40.120 teach it to niggas cause I'm like, Man, if my 0:50:40.160 --> 0:50:41.799 father's in my life, I'd be worth a hundred million 0:50:41.840 --> 0:50:42.160 right now. 0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:44.239 Don't get me wrong trying. I'm good, you know, own 0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:45.399 all my shit. I'm pretty good. 0:50:45.400 --> 0:50:47.000 But I'm like, if I had a dad to tell me, 0:50:47.040 --> 0:50:48.759 don't believe what they're saying, you could do it, I 0:50:48.760 --> 0:50:49.160 would have. 0:50:49.120 --> 0:50:50.239 Did it from early on too. 0:50:50.320 --> 0:50:50.919 That's my point. 0:50:51.000 --> 0:50:54.280 So I always look back in revisionous history, like why why. 0:50:54.080 --> 0:50:56.000 Do I because ain't no black people in the buildings. 0:50:56.080 --> 0:50:58.480 And if they are, and they are docile, that's the 0:50:58.520 --> 0:51:01.120 fact of doing what they are told to do. Nigga, 0:51:01.120 --> 0:51:02.239 I was in the best that they read it. But 0:51:02.239 --> 0:51:04.319 I'm asking any nigga, I don't tell fire me if 0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:06.279 this shit don't work. I want to win more than 0:51:06.280 --> 0:51:08.319 I want to be here, y'all. I don't just want 0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.439 to be here. That's another reason why these labels. 0:51:10.160 --> 0:51:12.040 Suck, because they got people in there that just want 0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:13.920 to keep their job. Most of them is like that. 0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:17.319 Think about you in the NBA, just speak, ain't gonna 0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:18.000 make ITGGA, not. 0:51:18.000 --> 0:51:18.480 Gonna make it. 0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:21.399 If you want to play ball, though, play ball and 0:51:21.480 --> 0:51:22.799 let the chips fall what they make. 0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:25.239 That's a big fact they're not risking it all the pudden. 0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:27.160 They want to keep a job. Yeah, and they do 0:51:27.239 --> 0:51:29.040 what's safe. And if you're taking no risks, you can't win. 0:51:28.960 --> 0:51:29.440 Big bro. 0:51:29.480 --> 0:51:30.680 When I was in them companies, Brore, I was a 0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:32.560 spook that coach. I was literally there to learn to 0:51:32.560 --> 0:51:36.200 teach us because I hate giving another motherfucker power over us. 0:51:36.520 --> 0:51:38.359 I hate making it feel like because that nigga got something. 0:51:38.360 --> 0:51:40.000 Because what I'm gonna tell my kids ims me telling 0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:41.439 my kids. Man, I can't eat ause Nor, he says, 0:51:41.440 --> 0:51:43.759 So I got to kill Nor before I let that. 0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:45.480 Tell my kid that I'm not saying I can say. 0:51:45.760 --> 0:51:49.480 And I said, that's how I see the worry. 0:51:49.800 --> 0:51:50.920 That's my job, nigga. 0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:53.000 If something is in my way, I'm going to get 0:51:53.040 --> 0:51:54.600 around it or I'm going to run through it. And 0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:56.680 my kids. I have never once went home and told 0:51:56.680 --> 0:51:59.080 my family we ain't making no money today. That's a fact, nigga. 0:51:59.080 --> 0:52:01.040 I take the check home, nigga. So I'm the big guy, 0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:02.839 like focused on just doing what. 0:52:02.719 --> 0:52:03.200 You got to do. 0:52:03.520 --> 0:52:08.080 Yeah, I actually that's real. 0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:11.359 That's that's that's the reason why when I see your 0:52:11.440 --> 0:52:15.200 ship and I'm like, this motherfucker's been holding back for a. 0:52:15.160 --> 0:52:20.319 Long man, man, do give jewels or because even when 0:52:20.840 --> 0:52:23.280 I did this podcast, right, he gave me mad jewels 0:52:23.280 --> 0:52:24.840 and I took him with me. But I tell everybody 0:52:24.840 --> 0:52:26.480 you told me the one thing I took him when 0:52:26.480 --> 0:52:28.680 you saw the barber. But the way you said it, 0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:30.360 you was like, okay, what do you what do you 0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:32.200 find I was representing? Grab said, well, I represent the 0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:34.880 culture in New York City and his lyricism. He was like, 0:52:34.880 --> 0:52:36.799 well take that and put building blocks on top of it. 0:52:36.800 --> 0:52:38.719 You got to take your base and build on top 0:52:38.760 --> 0:52:42.800 of it. So maybe she'd do like a ball. I said, Barbara, 0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:44.160 show about. 0:52:43.920 --> 0:52:44.439 Some rap ship. 0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:47.279 After that, he said, you want your own show. I 0:52:47.320 --> 0:52:49.680 was like, yes, you know what I'm saying, And I 0:52:49.719 --> 0:52:51.279 did that. I had it in my mind already. So 0:52:51.320 --> 0:52:52.920 you put that jewel there. I didn't know what to 0:52:52.920 --> 0:52:53.920 do it when you told me, I said, I need 0:52:53.960 --> 0:52:54.839 to keep the jewel in my head. 0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:55.919 And he said you want to show? 0:52:55.960 --> 0:52:58.560 I was like, yeah, if anybody went to if anybody, 0:52:58.960 --> 0:53:00.040 I'm gonn tell you how I see the world. 0:53:00.160 --> 0:53:01.399 We used to be able to lead from the back. 0:53:01.600 --> 0:53:02.839 You can't lead from the back no more. 0:53:02.880 --> 0:53:06.080 You gotta lead from the front right combined every car 0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:07.960 company in the world. You don't know the CEO of 0:53:08.440 --> 0:53:10.600 Mercedes BMW hont the number? 0:53:10.640 --> 0:53:12.240 Everybody know the CEO of Tesla. 0:53:12.560 --> 0:53:14.880 That's why Tesla's worth more than all of them put together. 0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:16.919 With the owner. 0:53:16.960 --> 0:53:17.680 What's the most famous? 0:53:17.800 --> 0:53:20.200 Who the most successful football team money wise in the game? 0:53:21.320 --> 0:53:21.920 Jerry Jones? 0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:22.640 We know the owner. 0:53:23.239 --> 0:53:25.480 Everybody who leads from the front, take their ship far them. 0:53:25.560 --> 0:53:27.439 Niggas that lead from the back, they usually the piece 0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:29.600 of shit guys. Those are the guys in the f 0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:31.160 SCEA file. That's why I don see nobody worried about that, 0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:32.400 but the people that leave from the front, because you 0:53:32.440 --> 0:53:35.000 got to like me now, dog, I love what I love, 0:53:35.080 --> 0:53:36.960 but I'm leaning from the front now, so I can't 0:53:37.000 --> 0:53:39.319 put it on them. Just walked out of the way. Man, 0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:40.759 I wanted to have fun, but nah, this might go 0:53:40.800 --> 0:53:42.920 bad for the team. I got. Nigga lives in my 0:53:42.960 --> 0:53:44.760 hand right now. I can't afford to make no mistakes. 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:46.520 Come leading from the front, but I'm from the back. 0:53:46.520 --> 0:53:48.200 I'm like, let that shot all that ship back here. 0:53:48.200 --> 0:53:50.040 Nigga, say that ship back here. 0:53:50.040 --> 0:53:51.520 That's why we said that's some email. 0:53:51.760 --> 0:53:54.520 That's some file emails like that's leading from the back, 0:53:54.600 --> 0:53:56.560 Like I can't littlebody know what I'm doing, so but 0:53:56.640 --> 0:53:58.319 I leave from the front. That's why my ship working. 0:53:58.400 --> 0:54:00.640 And I think transparency is going to be key for 0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:03.080 anybody that leads from the front. And that's why these 0:54:03.120 --> 0:54:05.839 labels suck because nobody knows. The CEO ofver labels should 0:54:05.840 --> 0:54:08.719 be talking like I am right now, like a fucking like, yo, 0:54:09.160 --> 0:54:09.880 my company is here. 0:54:09.880 --> 0:54:10.760 What makes us different? 0:54:10.920 --> 0:54:12.919 No, they wait for the fucking the artists to get hot, 0:54:12.960 --> 0:54:15.320 come in the room, and they give the same speech. 0:54:15.760 --> 0:54:19.160 If everybody you know howe chopper. I told his mother 0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:20.360 straight up, I said, look, I know you got a 0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:21.839 lot of people want to sign him, and your mother 0:54:22.000 --> 0:54:23.680 I talked to like a mother. I said, I promise 0:54:23.760 --> 0:54:26.359 you on my dead father, I will never tell your 0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:28.080 son to do something that I wouldn't tell my son 0:54:28.080 --> 0:54:30.440 to do. And I think that was important because I'm 0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:32.320 gonna see him as I'm a man first before i 0:54:32.360 --> 0:54:35.200 see him as an artist that makes money. So for me, 0:54:35.200 --> 0:54:36.839 it's like it's big on just being human and leading 0:54:36.880 --> 0:54:38.200 from the front. We don't have enough of that. 0:54:38.440 --> 0:54:41.600 Well, none of that, so coming that's. 0:54:41.440 --> 0:54:43.920 What y'all doing. Let's tape what y'all doing? A boy 0:54:43.960 --> 0:54:44.319 having me here? 0:54:44.360 --> 0:54:46.200 No, he pulled me to the front. Infl y'all pulled 0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:48.279 me to the front. That nigga's important. Come up here 0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:49.759 with us. That's what that's what we're supposed to do 0:54:49.800 --> 0:54:51.480 for each other. And think about it. We do that 0:54:51.560 --> 0:54:54.840 for each other. Dog, Dame Dash is never gonna fail. 0:54:55.480 --> 0:54:57.160 He might have a lot of problems with people that 0:54:57.200 --> 0:54:59.319 he knew, but he's never gonna fail because he's been 0:54:59.400 --> 0:55:00.080 the inspiration. 0:55:00.160 --> 0:55:01.520 There's so many others. 0:55:01.760 --> 0:55:03.319 So yeah, he might be down for somebody gonna say, 0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:05.200 put your name on my bowling alley, nigga, because you 0:55:05.360 --> 0:55:07.120 Dame Dash, because he led from the front. 0:55:07.160 --> 0:55:09.719 He wasn't the CEO stealing money. He was always there. 0:55:09.760 --> 0:55:11.360 So I think that that's what we are in society, 0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:12.839 and now you gotta lead from the front. And that's 0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:15.000 why I was fucked up because everybody want to hide 0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:17.520 their hands, right, nigga, My hands is showing and I'm 0:55:17.520 --> 0:55:19.600 still in it. That's because I'm good at what I do. 0:55:19.960 --> 0:55:22.520 Not like niggas that hot is usually not good. And 0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:24.360 by the way, it's so much ship. I would go on, 0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:26.600 but I'll just be respectful because you know, you gotta 0:55:26.640 --> 0:55:28.360 gotta give people a chance to like the people to 0:55:28.400 --> 0:55:30.439 see and get mad first. But I know what's happened 0:55:30.480 --> 0:55:32.200 in the music business. They're killing it, bro, But you. 0:55:32.239 --> 0:55:39.840 Still transparency and that's the exist exists robbing it and 0:55:39.920 --> 0:55:43.080 they have to though, they have to because that but 0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:44.840 the artist is not in favor of the artists is 0:55:44.840 --> 0:55:47.080 a bad loan nigga. So it's like, if you're going 0:55:47.160 --> 0:55:49.280 to do bad beness with somebody. 0:55:49.040 --> 0:55:49.920 You got to hide in the back. 0:55:50.000 --> 0:55:53.640 Yeah, so not money, you did that?

I was a kid up seventy 1:04:18.320 --> 1:04:19.400 five thousand. 1:04:19.040 --> 1:04:22.120 Whoa gone fuk it up? 1:04:22.400 --> 1:04:23.840 And I thought, and it's funny because I didn't even 1:04:23.880 --> 1:04:24.280 ball out. 1:04:24.320 --> 1:04:25.800 I was like, but you know, we weren't. 1:04:26.120 --> 1:04:28.320 We weren't taught as minarvety is what to do with 1:04:28.400 --> 1:04:30.040 money in school. They don't teach you money. They don't 1:04:30.040 --> 1:04:30.640 teach you financis. 1:04:30.640 --> 1:04:31.120 You don't learn that. 1:04:31.160 --> 1:04:32.280 You have to learn that as a grown man on 1:04:32.320 --> 1:04:34.440 your own, at least when you're blast do experience. 1:04:34.800 --> 1:04:35.640 We learned from the laws. 1:04:36.000 --> 1:04:38.480 Listen to always say the first million and a half, 1:04:38.480 --> 1:04:40.080 we did a deal million and a half dollars. Shit 1:04:40.160 --> 1:04:42.160 was going in six months. Nobody taught us how to 1:04:42.200 --> 1:04:44.480 handle how to handle money right. One thing that we 1:04:44.640 --> 1:04:48.480 never stopped, we just never stopped working right. So what 1:04:48.600 --> 1:04:50.920 mostly is at one point five they happy. I'm thinking like, 1:04:50.960 --> 1:04:52.320 I gotta get this money back so I can get 1:04:52.320 --> 1:04:54.640 some more money from these folks. Not knowing that we 1:04:54.720 --> 1:04:56.760 were gonna be in this ship. I'm twenty one years later, 1:04:56.800 --> 1:04:58.880 I'm in this business.

Niggas 1:05:09.680 --> 1:05:11.400 get sent home in this business. So for me, I 1:05:11.440 --> 1:05:13.000 just want to feel like we got to start changing 1:05:13.000 --> 1:05:14.760 that narrative. We got to teach our people, we got 1:05:14.760 --> 1:05:15.320 to stay there. 1:05:15.640 --> 1:05:16.280 That's why shit. 1:05:16.200 --> 1:05:18.320 Fucked up right now?

I don't even know 1:16:19.640 --> 1:16:22.120 want more than one Big L songs. I think Biggie 1:16:22.200 --> 1:16:24.840 is the most gifted rapper in the history of rap music. 1:16:24.840 --> 1:16:27.840 I don't think there's nobody that has ever rapped that 1:16:28.000 --> 1:16:31.920 is better gifted, like like the Tangibles are rap than big. 1:16:33.000 --> 1:16:36.800 So he's over everybody. To me, he can make words 1:16:36.880 --> 1:16:39.040 round like nobody could. He could do a girl record, 1:16:39.040 --> 1:16:42.000 a street record of storytelling and it was just it 1:16:42.040 --> 1:16:43.640 was just gifted. And he did all this shit in 1:16:43.680 --> 1:16:45.200 three years. 1:16:45.479 --> 1:16:46.240 Peoplen't understand. 1:16:46.920 --> 1:16:47.920 Yeah, that's a fact. 1:16:48.040 --> 1:16:51.160 So that a tribe called quest or day I saw. 1:16:52.920 --> 1:16:55.320 Try, but I will say this, what's that? 1:16:55.600 --> 1:16:55.800 What's that? 1:16:55.840 --> 1:16:56.000 Day? 1:16:56.040 --> 1:16:56.320 I saw? 1:16:56.360 --> 1:16:58.800 The States is high but they got Kenny Anderson in 1:16:58.800 --> 1:17:00.519 the video and he played against it. 1:17:01.040 --> 1:17:01.880 Yeah yeah, yeah exactly. 1:17:01.920 --> 1:17:02.080 Yeah. 1:17:02.080 --> 1:17:04.640 Stakes is how I love Dayla I sould. But I 1:17:04.720 --> 1:17:07.320 just think trib we need a new tribe. We need 1:17:07.360 --> 1:17:09.920 a tribe right now, like just somebody making like dope 1:17:09.960 --> 1:17:11.240 beats and rapping about dope shit. 1:17:11.640 --> 1:17:15.320 So I'll give it a tribe Usher Chris Brown. 1:17:18.080 --> 1:17:19.160 This is kind of easy for me. 1:17:19.680 --> 1:17:22.200 It's weird because me and my partner Lection were talking 1:17:22.200 --> 1:17:24.639 about this. I've known Chris Brown. See he was sixteen, 1:17:24.800 --> 1:17:27.160 so I've known since he was a kid. I was 1:17:27.200 --> 1:17:29.080 always a fan of Usher. I know Usher, but like 1:17:29.120 --> 1:17:31.120 we're cool, But like when I was in high school, 1:17:31.120 --> 1:17:33.160 you know you.

It's 1:17:38.640 --> 1:17:42.800 because Usher has one classic, and I feel like the 1:17:42.880 --> 1:17:46.679 one thing Chris needs, the one thing Chris is missing, 1:17:47.200 --> 1:17:51.160 is one classic now that everybody says, like Michael Jackson 1:17:51.200 --> 1:17:54.639 Thriller Usher Confessions.

No? 1:23:51.479 --> 1:23:53.200 No, I think I think rock Nation is. 1:23:53.280 --> 1:23:57.960 I think jay Z is the smartest man in I 1:23:58.360 --> 1:24:00.200 think you want the smartest man in the world. I 1:24:00.240 --> 1:24:02.919 think he understands emotional discipline. Yeah, I think he understands. 1:24:03.000 --> 1:24:05.760 But his biggest thing, he understands the emotional discipline, how 1:24:05.840 --> 1:24:07.639 not to react, how not to do this. I think 1:24:07.720 --> 1:24:10.000 jay Z understands the quiet. The more quiet I am, 1:24:10.040 --> 1:24:12.160 the more loud it's gonna get, and we get more. 1:24:12.800 --> 1:24:14.720 The less I talk, the more power I am. So 1:24:14.960 --> 1:24:17.120 I don't think they run the podcast business at all. 1:24:17.240 --> 1:24:19.599 I think that they understand that when they show up, though, 1:24:19.920 --> 1:24:22.600 because who they with, Everybody stops and says, what do 1:24:22.680 --> 1:24:23.320 you guys want? 1:24:24.120 --> 1:24:25.520 And they get what they want? 1:24:25.240 --> 1:24:27.919 And by the way, that's my motherfucking goal for myself, 1:24:28.360 --> 1:24:29.240 So it ain't no hate for me. 1:24:29.280 --> 1:24:29.880 I love that hole. 1:24:29.880 --> 1:24:31.680 We could do that. Shout out the whole and by 1:24:31.720 --> 1:24:33.200 the way, shout the rock Nation. I'm gonna say this. 1:24:33.200 --> 1:24:35.880 When I left my last job, y'all, and I needed 1:24:35.880 --> 1:24:37.920 a check because I ain't know how I was gonna 1:24:37.920 --> 1:24:41.160 pay my all my shit. Oh maar, Sharry from Rock 1:24:41.280 --> 1:24:43.679 Nation gave me a check. They pay me a check, 1:24:43.720 --> 1:24:45.960 and they looked out for me for three fucking years. 1:24:47.040 --> 1:24:47.519 Three years. 1:24:47.560 --> 1:24:49.200 So I'm a shout out rock Nation for that, because 1:24:49.200 --> 1:24:50.720 I think people get controlled with what I'll be saying. 1:24:50.760 --> 1:24:52.360 But shot the Rock Nations for paying a nigga. 1:24:52.160 --> 1:24:52.599 For three years. 1:24:52.600 --> 1:24:55.439 Shout I wouldn't survived them. 1:24:55.520 --> 1:24:55.880 Days. 1:24:56.160 --> 1:24:56.360 You know. 1:24:56.400 --> 1:24:57.880 You know, I got a question for you too, Like, 1:24:58.880 --> 1:25:00.880 coming off the super Bowl, watch what you said about 1:25:00.880 --> 1:25:04.439 the bad Bunny Uh yeah, I saw some of the comments, so. 1:25:04.520 --> 1:25:06.200 He was mad at me. I know where you were 1:25:06.200 --> 1:25:07.240 going point wise. 1:25:07.000 --> 1:25:08.599 But we probably elaborate on the show what you feel 1:25:08.640 --> 1:25:09.439 about the bad Bunny things. 1:25:09.520 --> 1:25:12.040 I think this is that number one. I care about 1:25:12.120 --> 1:25:14.439 my culture more than I care about anything. The way 1:25:14.520 --> 1:25:16.880 I was raised was that if my son is fighting 1:25:16.880 --> 1:25:19.679 a kid in the streets, I'm checking my son first. 1:25:20.160 --> 1:25:22.120 We're gonna go deal with the streets shit. But hey, 1:25:23.040 --> 1:25:24.960 what did you do? So let's get that out of 1:25:24.960 --> 1:25:26.800 the way. So the bad Bunny thing is I was 1:25:26.880 --> 1:25:28.880 just being accountable to my like to my friends. 1:25:28.920 --> 1:25:30.160 I'm like, I remember he was doing. 1:25:30.200 --> 1:25:32.760 I was like, that's dope. Do half and half though, 1:25:33.160 --> 1:25:35.080 Like it's like Maro five came to Atlanta. It was 1:25:35.080 --> 1:25:36.880 a big hoopo out they need black people, just a 1:25:36.880 --> 1:25:39.639 black city. Maroe five. They caught that shit and brought 1:25:39.640 --> 1:25:41.960 our outcasts. So I was just hoping that in the 1:25:41.960 --> 1:25:43.559 midst of all of this that he would have went 1:25:43.680 --> 1:25:47.880 with the like, I'm gonna be inclusive rather than just 1:25:48.000 --> 1:25:50.559 celebrating only my culture, and that was my only thing. 1:25:50.640 --> 1:25:51.200 By the way, I. 1:25:51.120 --> 1:25:53.200 Said that before he did it, I'm like, I hope he. 1:25:53.160 --> 1:25:54.800 Does that, and he didn't. 1:25:54.840 --> 1:25:57.000 So I was like, man, I just don't know what's 1:25:57.040 --> 1:25:59.080 gonna happen long term. I don't know if this is 1:25:59.160 --> 1:26:01.080 jay Z's last year producing the super Bowl, because you 1:26:01.080 --> 1:26:02.479 gotta remember, I pay attention to ship. 1:26:02.640 --> 1:26:04.559 Nothing is leaked in the press unless they wanted there. 1:26:05.000 --> 1:26:05.360 The press. 1:26:05.439 --> 1:26:06.800 People be thinking the press or something. 1:26:06.800 --> 1:26:09.200 The press is really the spirit, like the like plant 1:26:09.280 --> 1:26:11.400 stories dispredious. So when I saw that this was Rock 1:26:11.479 --> 1:26:14.080 Nation's fifth year contract, I'm like, he went out with 1:26:14.120 --> 1:26:16.639 a bang. I don't know if we get that another time. 1:26:16.880 --> 1:26:19.000 It's like when it's like when we were swagsurfing in 1:26:19.000 --> 1:26:21.519 the White House, Nigga, that was I was mad as fuck. 1:26:21.960 --> 1:26:24.639 I wasn't there that day, right because I know niggas 1:26:24.640 --> 1:26:26.160 ain't gonna never be a swag surf in the White 1:26:26.200 --> 1:26:26.679 House again. 1:26:27.680 --> 1:26:28.479 That I'm trying to say. 1:26:28.520 --> 1:26:29.600 It's like, you know, we. 1:26:29.760 --> 1:26:33.479 Cele think a white felt look at bad like. 1:26:33.439 --> 1:26:37.120 A swag surfing in a white house. And by the way, 1:26:37.120 --> 1:26:38.839 white people are very passive aggressive. 1:26:38.880 --> 1:26:40.080 I know that. Look how they handle me. 1:26:40.360 --> 1:26:42.320 They tay they love you until the last day, then 1:26:42.320 --> 1:26:43.320 they cut your fucking throat. 1:26:43.360 --> 1:26:45.200 So I'm just saying that I know how they do. 1:26:45.680 --> 1:26:47.240 And by the way, and I was just I was 1:26:47.280 --> 1:26:49.960 just hoping that he had an inclusive thing because what 1:26:50.040 --> 1:26:52.599 they he didn't and what they said was what they're saying. 1:26:52.600 --> 1:26:53.439 He didn't have nobody. 1:26:53.479 --> 1:26:56.120 It was in English, so you're saying the inclusive. The 1:26:56.160 --> 1:26:58.560 exclusivity was the language part, the language part, because my 1:26:58.600 --> 1:27:01.559 thing is if I know, but I wouldn't about. 1:27:02.320 --> 1:27:04.559 That's what I'm saying. I wasn't thinking about. And I 1:27:04.560 --> 1:27:06.400 think people made it up, like let me tell you 1:27:06.400 --> 1:27:08.560 something I love, you know, women listen to tell you 1:27:08.600 --> 1:27:11.519 someone n't in mind me for a reason and might 1:27:11.560 --> 1:27:14.800 fuck my life up. I left the Bronx Nigga. It 1:27:14.840 --> 1:27:17.880 was nothing but Dominican women. That was the only woman 1:27:17.920 --> 1:27:20.479 I liked. But I want to protect my people, so 1:27:20.520 --> 1:27:22.000 I'm like, let me tell you what they gonna say 1:27:22.000 --> 1:27:24.040 about you if you don't do this. So that's what 1:27:24.080 --> 1:27:25.759 I was really saying. And he didn't, and it's cool, 1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:28.160 but I don't know if they let us. I don't 1:27:28.200 --> 1:27:30.080 know if they're gonna let control that, because remember, the 1:27:30.160 --> 1:27:31.240 NFL is not like the NBA. 1:27:31.280 --> 1:27:33.719 The NBA is controlled by niggas, so you're probably talking. 1:27:33.520 --> 1:27:34.639 On the buses side of things. 1:27:34.479 --> 1:27:36.720 Just the business side. Like the only important thing to 1:27:36.720 --> 1:27:40.080 me is us eating and surviving. People always worry about winning. 1:27:40.360 --> 1:27:42.120 That's the problem what I called to everybody want to win. 1:27:42.439 --> 1:27:45.599 It's not about winning, It's about surviving. Because let's be clear, 1:27:45.720 --> 1:27:49.559 when Dame cursed out Kevin loves he was winning, but 1:27:49.720 --> 1:27:53.720 Kevin Loughs survived, and that's why Kevin Loves worth three 1:27:53.760 --> 1:27:55.840 hundred million. I give what I'm trying to say, and 1:27:55.920 --> 1:27:58.040 sometimes we be so busy trying to win that we 1:27:58.280 --> 1:28:00.920 fucking fuck our shit up because trying to get it's 1:28:00.920 --> 1:28:02.720 my moment. I'm gonna take it. Yeah, but what if 1:28:02.760 --> 1:28:04.760 you shared it? What if you didn't take the moment 1:28:04.760 --> 1:28:06.960 and you shared it next time they have a moment, 1:28:06.960 --> 1:28:09.400 you could say, look what I did with mine. I 1:28:09.400 --> 1:28:11.360 know you're saying, long jelly fish, I can see it. 1:28:11.360 --> 1:28:13.120 But I'll say this though, because this is a double 1:28:13.200 --> 1:28:14.439 ed so because but you do have a good point, 1:28:14.439 --> 1:28:16.120 so I can't even disagree with none of that. But 1:28:16.360 --> 1:28:20.880 I did appreciate the fact that the bad Bunny moment 1:28:21.280 --> 1:28:24.120 was truly authentic to his culture and what he presented. 1:28:24.160 --> 1:28:27.120 Because when they gave Kendrick to stage, it was truly authentic. 1:28:27.240 --> 1:28:31.519 I said him, by the way, as well, I feel like, yeah, yes, 1:28:31.680 --> 1:28:32.639 I feel like I feel. 1:28:32.400 --> 1:28:33.599 Like it was from Kendrick. 1:28:34.080 --> 1:28:35.519 I feel That's what I said, Like it was dope, 1:28:35.520 --> 1:28:37.679 that it was purely authentically him. 1:28:38.439 --> 1:28:40.120 So Kenvill did his show, I said the same thing. 1:28:40.120 --> 1:28:42.200 I said, you think you should have split it too, 1:28:42.320 --> 1:28:44.519 but I think no, I think he should have performed 1:28:44.520 --> 1:28:44.960 the hits. 1:28:45.040 --> 1:28:45.840 I said that all day. 1:28:46.200 --> 1:28:48.040 I think I think he remember what I do for 1:28:48.080 --> 1:28:50.120 a living, my nigga, I don't think people understand what 1:28:50.160 --> 1:28:52.320 I do. Me and this nigga right here got it 1:28:52.360 --> 1:28:55.519 going around with someone who we don't know. Figure out 1:28:55.560 --> 1:28:58.000 how to write a speech that's going to change your 1:28:58.000 --> 1:29:00.639 life in the song form, right. You know how hard 1:29:00.680 --> 1:29:03.080 it is When Teharan was Juice, when Taran was like 1:29:03.080 --> 1:29:05.599 with Lizzo with juice, shit, big girl, how the fuck 1:29:05.600 --> 1:29:08.280 can we make this cool? Blame it on my juice. 1:29:08.439 --> 1:29:10.320 I can't help it that I'm losing and nigga. One 1:29:10.360 --> 1:29:12.439 my favorite line torontover Road was when he wrote for Lizzo, 1:29:12.560 --> 1:29:15.080 I'm a thick bitch, I need tempo. Fuck it up 1:29:15.120 --> 1:29:16.840 for the tempo. Fuck it up, put MISSI on it. 1:29:16.960 --> 1:29:19.840 Like nigga, I write speeches for a fucking living bro. 1:29:20.000 --> 1:29:21.400 So when you take what I say person, it was 1:29:21.400 --> 1:29:22.960 weird to me, cause, like, Nigga, I love everybody. 1:29:22.960 --> 1:29:24.080 I don't want to see nobody hurt. 1:29:24.200 --> 1:29:26.880 He sounded like them people because my manager's Puerto Rican. 1:29:27.200 --> 1:29:28.599 That's my nigga, Like, I love like. 1:29:28.760 --> 1:29:30.559 But I'm like, hey, Nigga, I will still tell you. 1:29:30.600 --> 1:29:32.439 It's like if I brought my Puerto Rican friend into. 1:29:32.320 --> 1:29:34.200 A racist room. Hey, don't put that shirt on. 1:29:34.840 --> 1:29:36.559 Yeah, fuck that y I want them to know, Nigga, 1:29:36.560 --> 1:29:37.479 we trying to survive. 1:29:38.960 --> 1:29:40.280 I don't want to die today, Nigga. 1:29:40.360 --> 1:29:42.599 Let's survive. Let's get in the room, learn the game, 1:29:42.640 --> 1:29:44.680 and take that shit from them, rather than go in 1:29:44.680 --> 1:29:46.200 the room to make a statement. I don't believe in 1:29:46.200 --> 1:29:47.760 making statements. I may want to look what it did 1:29:47.840 --> 1:29:50.679 to my career. So I always like, nigga, political statements 1:29:50.720 --> 1:29:52.760 might feel good in the moment, it's an emotional win. 1:29:53.439 --> 1:29:55.880 It felt good in the moment, but what happens eight 1:29:55.920 --> 1:29:58.280 months from now or nine months in September when they 1:29:58.320 --> 1:30:01.559 announced Shanaia Twains performing right, well, we're gonna. 1:30:01.320 --> 1:30:03.000 Say, then what happened, nigga? 1:30:03.040 --> 1:30:03.920 You know what happened? 1:30:04.040 --> 1:30:05.920 We went too far the same way they going too 1:30:05.920 --> 1:30:07.679 far right now, and Trump's gonna. 1:30:07.439 --> 1:30:07.760 Suck it up. 1:30:07.760 --> 1:30:09.479 Forts That's my point. 1:30:09.520 --> 1:30:12.200 We're going so far. I'm in the middle. I love everybody. 1:30:12.240 --> 1:30:14.360 If you love love, come to the middle. That's how 1:30:14.400 --> 1:30:15.519 I feel, and that's what I'm saying. 1:30:15.680 --> 1:30:19.600 What I'm saying Bron can't argue with that. 1:30:20.640 --> 1:30:24.400 But if we're thinking about the NFL's business mind, I mean, 1:30:24.400 --> 1:30:27.639 I'm assuming because I don't know they're thinking internationally. They're 1:30:27.680 --> 1:30:30.519 trying to become FIFA or whatever the fucking soccer ship. 1:30:31.040 --> 1:30:33.800 So they that's why I feel that they I agree. 1:30:33.840 --> 1:30:35.519 I don't think they give a fuck about bad bunny 1:30:35.560 --> 1:30:35.800 they was. 1:30:37.360 --> 1:30:39.200 But I'm trying to sell you the NFL is and 1:30:39.400 --> 1:30:41.559 ain't like the NBA. The NBA is controlled by us, 1:30:41.640 --> 1:30:44.240 Lebron said, I ain't doing it. The reason that that's 1:30:44.360 --> 1:30:47.240 that twenty twenty ship and they were trying to figure. 1:30:47.000 --> 1:30:49.040 Out they was gonna keep the league going. Lebron said, 1:30:49.040 --> 1:30:49.479 I want. 1:30:49.320 --> 1:30:51.160 To play leaves going. 1:30:51.760 --> 1:30:54.880 Lebron said that you understand who those powerful people out 1:30:54.880 --> 1:30:57.120 in the room that control this ship. So when he 1:30:57.200 --> 1:31:00.280 said we're doing it right, I get you. So only 1:31:00.280 --> 1:31:02.080 thing is like money, thing is like when you're a leader. 1:31:02.400 --> 1:31:04.240 Like I feel like I say this, I'm gonna tell 1:31:04.240 --> 1:31:05.880 you another thing. I don't think that Donald Trump is 1:31:05.920 --> 1:31:08.720 no different than any of our favorite rappers. He's the 1:31:08.760 --> 1:31:10.240 same as our favorite rapper.

I could 1:34:18.720 --> 1:34:20.719 be making money for my podcast Niggas on my face, 1:34:21.000 --> 1:34:22.880 but my name would be bad right now because I 1:34:22.920 --> 1:34:24.880 took money not knowing what I was doing. Let me 1:34:24.960 --> 1:34:26.760 learn this shit. Plus, I make a million dollars a 1:34:26.800 --> 1:34:28.040 year of music if I get out the better or 1:34:28.040 --> 1:34:28.599 not because I'm man. 1:34:28.560 --> 1:34:30.920 It's the greatest nigga alive and it's. 1:34:30.760 --> 1:34:33.360 A marketing let's talk for the greatest nigga life. Took 1:34:33.360 --> 1:34:36.040 the wrong that's a nigga I make my money with. Yeah, 1:34:37.000 --> 1:34:39.000 it's real shit though, you dropping jewels, nigga, Bro. 1:34:39.080 --> 1:34:40.639 I just want to I want to help my people, Bro. 1:34:40.880 --> 1:34:42.559 I just want to see niggas eat, Bro, and I'm 1:34:43.000 --> 1:34:45.519 and niggas that are eating don't want to see niggas eating. 1:34:45.600 --> 1:34:47.160 And that's what the truth. That's why they don't say. 1:34:47.320 --> 1:34:49.479 That's why we play each other. That's why we don't 1:34:49.479 --> 1:34:51.240 want each other in the room. Barry Gordy had a 1:34:51.280 --> 1:34:52.640 statement where he said, when he was a kid, he 1:34:52.680 --> 1:34:54.400 used to be a door to door salesman. He made 1:34:54.439 --> 1:34:56.720 so much money his first day he brought his little brother. 1:34:56.760 --> 1:34:58.599 The second day he ain't make no money. The lesson 1:34:58.680 --> 1:35:00.439 you learned was two niggas as bad for the room. 1:35:00.800 --> 1:35:04.040 I disagree. You should teach the nigga how to act 1:35:04.080 --> 1:35:06.400 like you. He just didn't know how to act in 1:35:06.400 --> 1:35:08.200 the room. That's a fact, that's all it is. So 1:35:08.200 --> 1:35:09.559 you should have talked to nigga how to react. So 1:35:09.560 --> 1:35:12.280 now they got two smiling niggas. Rather than one smiling nigga, 1:35:12.280 --> 1:35:14.240 another nigga ain't smile. He smile for your whit folks, nigga, 1:35:14.240 --> 1:35:19.080 because I'm trying to get paid nigga, you sometimes need 1:35:19.120 --> 1:35:20.960 that nigga in the room. Right, So said, we just 1:35:21.000 --> 1:35:22.920 got to get back to you like helping each other. 1:35:22.960 --> 1:35:25.519 And I don't think Black folks trust each other, trust 1:35:25.560 --> 1:35:27.000 each other. Unfortunately, it's the truth. 1:35:27.160 --> 1:35:27.599 We don't. 1:35:28.160 --> 1:35:30.280 It's whack, bro. I'm trying to build. I'm trying to we. 1:35:30.560 --> 1:35:32.680 See us as our own enemy. It happens every day. 1:35:32.680 --> 1:35:33.080 Think about it. 1:35:33.120 --> 1:35:34.960 When you're walking down the street, you see a black man, 1:35:35.360 --> 1:35:37.760 you act defensive. You see what you're going to go 1:35:37.760 --> 1:35:39.000 to the sidehere the white guys at. 1:35:40.280 --> 1:35:41.599 Change my whole life. No, somebody told me. 1:35:41.640 --> 1:35:44.599 They said, every time a black man gets successful, when 1:35:44.600 --> 1:35:46.479 he gets to the table, the people at the table 1:35:46.560 --> 1:35:49.000 make him feel like you're different from the others. 1:35:49.200 --> 1:35:52.800 That's why you're here. It's a mental thing. It's like 1:35:52.840 --> 1:35:54.800 super mental. It's the fact you're here because you're. 1:35:54.720 --> 1:35:55.280 Not like them. 1:35:55.640 --> 1:35:57.599 If I'm here because I'm not like them, the one 1:35:57.640 --> 1:35:59.120 thing I want to be more than anything is not 1:35:59.240 --> 1:35:59.799 like them. 1:36:00.280 --> 1:36:02.160 So that's how we That's why we let them manage us, 1:36:02.200 --> 1:36:03.320 their lawyers, their thing. 1:36:03.840 --> 1:36:07.240 That's that's how that's how we gotta throw. They brainwashed 1:36:07.320 --> 1:36:09.720 us to feel like everything black is discounted the cheap. 1:36:09.960 --> 1:36:11.600 You don't go for the black lawyer, you don't go 1:36:11.640 --> 1:36:13.680 for the black executive. No, you take the deal from 1:36:13.680 --> 1:36:15.240 the white man and think it's right because it's coming 1:36:15.240 --> 1:36:18.439 from that side washing telling you we've been fucked up 1:36:18.439 --> 1:36:19.840 a long time.

Everybody's complaining about streaming and not 1:43:33.360 --> 1:43:36.519 making money from it. So it feels like the the 1:43:36.560 --> 1:43:40.240 economics of being the writer is more valuable in streaming. 1:43:40.920 --> 1:43:43.400 No, hell no, what So that's. 1:43:43.479 --> 1:43:45.479 Reason why were making money because we got radio records. 1:43:45.600 --> 1:43:46.840 Streaming don't pay right as shit. 1:43:47.160 --> 1:43:48.720 That's the fact, right, I mean you can have If 1:43:48.760 --> 1:43:50.640 you could be a platinum songwriter of a song and 1:43:50.680 --> 1:43:52.559 you made twenty four thousand dollars of a song that 1:43:52.600 --> 1:43:55.200 went platinum one hundred and fifty million streams, you made 1:43:55.439 --> 1:43:57.960 what a twenty four thousand songwriter they get treated with. 1:43:58.439 --> 1:44:01.000 And when you say radio, you mean terrestrial.

My thoughts 1:44:34.640 --> 1:44:38.639 on the music business is music sucks because some people 1:44:38.640 --> 1:44:41.400 from the tech world came in and zoomed on artists, 1:44:41.400 --> 1:44:44.040 on artists alone. It was like they focused on the artists, 1:44:44.120 --> 1:44:46.439 like artists, why are you giving up so much? Because 1:44:46.479 --> 1:44:49.880 they didn't value people like us. Now people like us 1:44:49.960 --> 1:44:53.240 are gone and music sucks. So my only thing is 1:44:53.280 --> 1:44:55.240 to say is that the artist is the meal, but 1:44:55.360 --> 1:44:58.160 we are the chefs are the and R is a chef, 1:44:58.160 --> 1:44:59.840 the producer of the chef. The songwriters and chef is 1:44:59.880 --> 1:45:01.120 some artists don't know how to cook. 1:45:01.120 --> 1:45:03.120 Whitney Houston never wrote a lyric in her life. 1:45:03.520 --> 1:45:05.800 She was still the biggest artists on earth right. 1:45:06.000 --> 1:45:08.519 Like it's like sometimes think artists in his time is 1:45:08.560 --> 1:45:11.320 so business is so zoomed in on us right now, 1:45:11.400 --> 1:45:13.760 own your masters, own your this, own your that. My 1:45:13.840 --> 1:45:17.120 thing is make a fucking hit first, learn how to 1:45:17.120 --> 1:45:19.920 make a hit.

And this is 1:47:40.680 --> 1:47:42.360 what i'mnna tell y'allnigga. This is my advice to y'all 1:47:42.640 --> 1:47:45.120 on real ship, because what y'all doing is fire, because 1:47:45.120 --> 1:47:46.360 that's kind of what leans in it. 1:47:46.880 --> 1:47:47.320 Hip hop. 1:47:47.840 --> 1:47:49.599 For the first time when I was a kid, when 1:47:49.640 --> 1:47:51.400 my mom was my mom was listening to and I'm 1:47:51.400 --> 1:47:54.240 pretty sure all y'all can relate our parents was listening. 1:47:54.000 --> 1:47:56.880 To their music. Hip Hop was our music for the. 1:47:56.880 --> 1:47:59.560 First time in history. Hip Hop is our music and 1:47:59.720 --> 1:48:02.880 our his music. So that means there's a huge opportunity 1:48:02.920 --> 1:48:04.280 to bring the dinner table together. 1:48:04.600 --> 1:48:10.719 Other than that's like fake. Nicki Minaj like hey, rapping 1:48:10.760 --> 1:48:12.880 like NIGGI is hip hop and Jason people then hip 1:48:12.920 --> 1:48:14.120 hop writing those records. 1:48:14.160 --> 1:48:15.920 My sister, my my daughter, wrapped. 1:48:15.640 --> 1:48:18.600 That ship like not Dotty and she be doing to 1:48:18.680 --> 1:48:23.720 dance and ship and I'm like that, So I got 1:48:24.120 --> 1:48:26.920 every morning I was, I was done, done, done. 1:48:30.520 --> 1:48:32.080 This is like records. 1:48:32.120 --> 1:48:33.120 I was like, Yo, you did this. 1:48:33.320 --> 1:48:34.000 That's my point. 1:48:34.040 --> 1:48:35.479 But my thing I'm trying to tell us in the 1:48:35.560 --> 1:48:38.040 hip hop community is our problem. Are we not rich 1:48:38.120 --> 1:48:41.320 is because we're running from everything hip hop. Hip hop 1:48:41.640 --> 1:48:46.360 has matured. Fifty years is fifty years story. You don't 1:48:46.400 --> 1:48:49.600 think there should be a TV show on CNN, not 1:48:49.760 --> 1:48:53.120 the fucking TV SChannel. Nigga called Poona nore Yega Nigga 1:48:53.240 --> 1:48:55.560 a TV show because now you're here, think about it 1:48:55.680 --> 1:48:57.400 was a TV show on wol Tang. We got so 1:48:57.600 --> 1:49:00.200 many stories to tell. You got meach Me, which is 1:49:00.240 --> 1:49:02.760 one of the biggest dope boys. His son is playing him. 1:49:03.120 --> 1:49:05.760 That's what we are and why is the son playing him? 1:49:05.800 --> 1:49:07.720 Because the show is ran by nigga and hip hop. 1:49:08.200 --> 1:49:09.800 I feel like the reason why we so fucked up 1:49:09.800 --> 1:49:11.040 out here is because we don't want to be We 1:49:11.120 --> 1:49:12.439 want to be everything but hip hop. 1:49:12.960 --> 1:49:15.080 Nigga.

That's a hip hop story, 1:49:28.160 --> 1:49:28.599 Bad Bunny. 1:49:28.720 --> 1:49:30.680 That doesn't happen if hip hop doesn't happen, and it's 1:49:30.720 --> 1:49:32.479 hip hop and it is a part of hip hop, 1:49:32.520 --> 1:49:33.120 And I think bad. 1:49:33.040 --> 1:49:33.960 Bunny he won. 1:49:34.960 --> 1:49:38.360 They're all originally MC that couldn't make it as MC's 1:49:38.360 --> 1:49:40.600 in Puerto Rico that started to do you know. 1:49:40.600 --> 1:49:42.760 And tell people every artist is a bottle of water. 1:49:43.240 --> 1:49:46.040 You're a water in a cup. You gotta package yourself up. 1:49:46.439 --> 1:49:48.599 If I put if I took a fucking a centire 1:49:48.600 --> 1:49:50.200 bottle of water and a cheap bottle of water, and 1:49:50.280 --> 1:49:52.200 I poured him in a fucking bowl, you don't know 1:49:52.280 --> 1:49:54.160 which one is. Whish my, nigga, they look the same. 1:49:54.680 --> 1:49:56.080 Why do you know to pay three dollars for that 1:49:56.160 --> 1:49:58.839 one and fifty cent for that one? Because the fucking packaging, 1:49:59.320 --> 1:50:01.840 that's it, nigga. It could be the same water for 1:50:01.880 --> 1:50:04.679 all we know. It's the packaging. So artists don't package themselves. 1:50:04.760 --> 1:50:06.559 They so busy showed up saying look at my water. 1:50:06.680 --> 1:50:09.720 We don't care, nigga, Get with a producer, get with 1:50:09.800 --> 1:50:12.160 a manager, get with a songwriter, give with a whole 1:50:12.160 --> 1:50:12.839 bunch of motherfuckers. 1:50:12.920 --> 1:50:14.599 Let them put that package together and get money. 1:50:14.680 --> 1:50:20.800 Nigga, Sorry, I'm tired, right right, you're right, fuck right, 1:50:21.479 --> 1:50:27.040 We don't care.
