WEBVTT - Episode 98: Ft. Rico Love 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:05.840 What's up? Its lip service? Don't you heard me sing? 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.959 Somebody saw me? Sonny, I'm just happening stops and I'm G. G. 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.840 Maguire and we got Rica love here. We're just have 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.960 an interesting conversation. Right before we started, I was saying, 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:18.840 I'm so glad I didn't grow up with social media 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.720 because I've probably had so many crazy pictures and I 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.200 probably would have said crazy stuff on twitch exactly. I 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.880 can't even imagine the nutship I would have been posting 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.440 when I was a teenager. Jesus, we had tougher skin 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.720 growing up too, Like we could deal with ridicule a 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.199 little better. But I don't know if we would have 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.320 been able to handle it if it was every second. 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.920 Imagine a kid in the ninth grade who gets talked 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.959 about the school and it's posted in hashtag every day 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.640 and you got to go to school tomorrow. As an adult, 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.240 as a successful adult, you can deal with people saying 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.360 you're ugly in your whack and this this is that 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.720 because you go home to a nice house, you know. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.720 But as a kid, you like, what am I going 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.240 to do? Like they? And if you go viral, forget it? 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.240 Oh you've done man. Imagine all the girls giving head 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:08.080 in about to say vil. You know, we would have 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:13.880 been filming that ship except that child pornography. I'm just saying, 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:15.640 you know, I always say that I feel like they 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.720 should teach courses now in school, make it like part 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.759 of the curriculum about social media and like how not 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:27.000 to use it and away campaigns, and they should in school, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.480 like they should be part of like because we didn't 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.320 grow up with that, that's a whole different world. But 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.039 they should tell people like this is inappropriate. How did 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:35.679 this make you feel? Look at this story kind of 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.040 like a warning to people, like what you shouldn't be posting, 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.880 what you shouldn't be saying to return. You saw those 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.920 students from Harvard that they had like a Facebook chat 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.600 group and they were writing things in the chat group. 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.360 They had just got accepted, so they were going to 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:54.200 be like the class of UM and somebody reported them 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:55.520 that was in the group, like one of the students 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.760 that got in. It was like they're saying like racial things, 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.800 They're saying like Nancy things, and they resended their offer 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:05.680 letters and now they're not going to Harvard. When you see, now, 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.920 since we're talking about that, let's talk about Derrick Rose 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.560 for a second, now, Rico, I don't know if you've 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.240 seen this story, but apparently his girlfriend they pulled up 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.200 some of her old tweets, right, and she was saying 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.120 things like I hate bald headed little black girls. And 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.760 then she said, you can chase those little ugly black girls, 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.320 and Elena just gonna sit here in the spotlight without you. 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.840 And then she said, making over here, thinking of all 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.040 the things that make black girls mad, I'm dying all 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.760 the black bitches mad because his wife, Vanilla Taylor, and 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.160 I made a whole list of ship we don't like 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.880 in the number one thing was black people. L m 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.880 f A out. Hold on, this is the girlfriend white? 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.119 Now she is half white, but I don't know where 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.480 her other has because I get I get lost. Her 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.680 name is um Elna Anderson. And she actually deleted her 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.320 Twitter and went private and everything after these old tweets 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.919 resurfaced of what she was writing. Now, let's just say, um, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.760 this is from two eleven. It doesn't even matter how 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.600 old it is years ago. How I mean, I guess 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.480 I would have to know, but it doesn't even matter, Like, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.320 I don't understand how can someone like get it together, 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.519 they'll fix their fingers to right. But surprised how many 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.120 people feel that and think that that's insane. You can 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.080 feel it and think it don't mean. What I'm saying 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.040 is it's like a reality to them, So it's comfortable 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.040 they have comfortable when I say how many? When you 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.080 know that many people feel that way, you don't feel 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.120 uncomfortable saying you know what I mean. It's just like 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.840 with the whole political thing. Now. Used to be certain 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.200 things off limits, Now that you feel like they're not, 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.080 you feel comfortable saying whatever you want to say if 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.240 you know that the masses agree with you. That's the 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.040 only thing that makes things politically correct and incorrect is 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.440 the fact that I fear that my feelings will be shunned. 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.280 But when I feel like my feelings are, people agree 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.080 with my feelings and I feel okay to say that. 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.280 And so many people say that they did a study 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.160 in the UK or did a question in the UK. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.040 When you're going out around acting, ran them young males 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:02.560 in the UK like what type of girls they like? 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.680 And it was like red bone, light skinned, big titties, 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.640 no dockies, no no dog skins and no ship like that. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.960 You know, I just saw that on media take out. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:19.360 I'm like the only person in the whole world. Seriously, 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.840 what do you think now, Like, say that happened to you, 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.400 right you found out your girl had put put this 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.159 up you didn't know, and now it goes viral. Would 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.960 you feel like, man, I can't be with her anymore. 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.279 It's a tough situation if you was already like be 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:38.080 from one and it's easy out with you know what 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:42.040 I know. But if you really love her, it's difficult 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.200 because you think about it, if somebody you really loved us, 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:45.960 some dumb ship back in the day, what are you 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.320 going to penalize them for that you love them? Right now? 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.000 So obviously when you break up and I'm like, yeah, 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.000 you racist bitch, what do you feel the need to 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.040 address it? Absolutely? And I would feel the need to 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.880 her to address it together and we could be like, yo, 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.560 you listen, just so y'all know I wasn't cool with that, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.600 you know, I you know, I let her know that 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.560 I wasn't. That's not something I agree with and that's 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.000 not something I find attractive at all. You know, I 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.880 had to make a decision, like, yo, am I still 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.160 gonna all the great things I love about her? Now 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:16.960 am I going to penalize her for my mistakes? Then 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.080 I gotta ask myself, what about everything I've said in 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.960 my life? What if she held me accountable for all 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.000 those things? And I've grown and matured as a person. 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.360 I think we do have that right to grow mature 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.200 as people, because I know some girls I grew up 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.600 with who used to say some really fucked up about 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.880 dawkskin people and dawskin girls now and I don't think 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.360 they feel that way now. But that was the thing 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.960 we changed. I think that was the normal. God, I've 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.080 never felt like that. I never felt like I've never 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.680 been I'm so glad you haven't. You know so a lot. 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.360 I'm dog skin, so I know I had used to 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.120 say that. People would be like, oh you just because 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.960 you like skin and stuff like that. Shut up me. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.760 And we was just talking about this in the car. 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.760 I think the most beau beautiful people are like darker 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:05.120 like yeah. I think the we were just talking about 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.480 is the fact that it can come in all types 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.520 of different shades. And today, like I hate when people 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.640 say like, oh, that's not my type. I feel like, 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.640 what is the type? Like? Today you can see something 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.680 beautiful in something that you that you thought before was obscure. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.680 So I think that to find beauty and things is 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.400 the gift of life, is not to be able to 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.880 limit yourself to this is what I like. So today 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.760 I think today I can say that this is the 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.600 most incredible moment I feel right now, right, and then 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.000 tomorrow I can say wow, today, this moment now is 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.240 trumps that one. So I can see something I think 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.719 it's so beautiful, and then I could say later, you 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.840 know what, I think that is the most beautiful thing 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.000 I've ever seen, and I have the right to change it. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.520 And I think that's the gift of life, and the 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.440 gift of love is to be able to say I 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:52.279 have a limitless amount of you know, ability to like 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.960 and love different things. That's two, because I to hate beards, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.599 and now I'm fine with it, but I hate I agree. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.040 I don't be like I don't like face your hair. 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.920 I like it really clean cut guys. But now I'm like, okay, 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:11.400 a bear could be right right, I feel. And I 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.320 remember when guys would Dredd used to be really in 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.920 and used to be like, okay, y'all. When I was younger, 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.840 everybody wanted a boyfriend, the head dread, and then I 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:19.840 was like, I don't know if I want a guy 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.640 who was here as longer than mine. And then now 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:30.160 everybody's baldet that all right, now we want to ask 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.200 you about this. So I don't think this is a 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.880 real story, but just and pertaining to you. They were 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.720 putting out the story about offset and saying to him 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.000 and Cardi b broke up because he tried to charge 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.160 her two for a verse. Now I don't think that's true. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.120 But let's just say you're dating somebody, right and they're 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.280 a singer, do you charge them for a track? Yeah, 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.600 because they're not paying for this the company, and this 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.040 is business. But if she's not signed, um who's funding her? 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.880 If she's not funny, if nobody's funny and she ain't 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.760 got nobody paying for it, didn't, I won't charge her. 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.000 She has a label behind her. If she got a company, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.160 then that's a budget and they're gonna get you gotta 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.760 understand about these companies they're gonna take. They're gonna say 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.440 that you're not recouped anyway. So let's get this money. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.360 And if and if that's the case, if she, if 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.560 I funk with her, and it's a budget in place, Yo, 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.800 let's bust it down. They're gonna pay me sixty for 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.800 a record. I buy you some veryrings of watching something. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.000 Let's do it. No. I I agree with what you're 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.360 saying if the label is paying for but if it's not, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:33.000 like I think different. I did train this whole project, right. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.439 I didn't charge training nothing. That's my sister. I love her. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.640 But what I did was I just said, my guys, 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.200 who did you know music and all that stuff, just 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.280 give them pay them. And she was like, that's love. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.000 You're not gonna charge me your feet and she was 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.560 really preparing herself and like I was putting the money 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.600 to the side and like, no, no, no, no, no, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.400 it's love. I'm gonna do this for the love and 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:51.880 just makes you take care of my guys. So when 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.600 you my people and I know that you're not being 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.439 funded by somebody, like this is an independent girl who's 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.319 working her own set, and I'm gonna be I'm not 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.760 gonna charge her. That mean business. Why it's the back 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.040 I want some back in though I want some nice 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.560 What it means is that point I like to get. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.040 I like to get my favorites in other ways and say, 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:09.880 all right, cool, I may need you for a look, 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.080 or for a film or for this, and I want 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.360 you to wave your feet the same way I wave mine. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.120 Or I might need you for in the parents.

Let's say I have a 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:36.200 music conference. Yeah, exactly, exactly. You know what I'm talking about, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.760 what you do.

So definitely, Let's say 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.960 you're dating a guy, right and he's an artist, and 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.280 he's like, okay, I want you to be in my video. 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.320 Are you like word quest this or is it free? 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:58.360 I'm I'm sucking them.

That's my baby. 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.720 But if your budget and he's taking care of me, 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.840 if he's if he's if he's somebody i'm dating, I'm 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.480 sure you're not good all the time. He wants to 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:11.600 do a video, it doesn't what I'm getting from exactly. Yeah, 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:17.280 that's what Okay. So what if he's like, you know what, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.200 I'm opening this club, I want you to come in 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.800 and book some people and do this is and that 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.240 you charge him. Oh, we'll see. In that case is 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.560 business and I'm gonna need my find But yeah, but 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.320 I think that this is how you play, even with 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.520 the visual. If he's not paying for the visual directly, 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.240 whoever is funding it, take that money and y'all split it. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.640 If that's the case, don't ever think in this game 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.280 that this anything is not going to be or you 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:42.920 save this money on this and you're not going to 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.760 pay for they'll find a way to charge you for it. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.160 That's how corrupt these companies are. They're gonna find a 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.080 way to say you spent this much on this. I 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.280 want you guys to understand about expense accounts and how 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.160 this thing works is everybody in the company has a 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.640 card and they go and they travel. If they're traveling 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.440 on your behalf, you don't have to be there, they'll 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.440 charge you back to your account. You're paying for it. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.600 You won't know until you ordered the company and know 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.040 exactly where everything went. So so if they were to 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:05.560 say I had to go out here to take this 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.559 meeting with MTV about your video, and I had to 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.880 smoothe these people and take them to dinner, you'll see 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.439 if you ever were to order the company, if you 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.400 were to get that far in your career, you order 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.480 them to see hold on your charge me back for that. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.800 So they're gonna find a way to charge you. So 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.920 I always tell people, if they're gonna pay, get your money. Bro. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.920 If you're my man, are you're about to do and 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.120 you're doing a track for me, Bron, get your money. 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:27.720 Don't do nothing for free for me if you if 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.880 you can get a check, let's bust it down, if anything, 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:31.920 or take your money and then when you got yours, 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.560 I get my money and it's all love. But if 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.640 you're telling me, bro, I'm paying out of my pocket 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.520 and you my you know you're my girl, or you 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.559 my my brother, somebody I'm friends with, then you know, no, 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.440 I ain't gonna I'm make it easier on you. But 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.160 if it's their money, tax them. Everybody noticed TAXI I 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.040 agree with this. I agree with this because out of 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:56.160 pocket is a different thing, especially a company that's gonna 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.480 tell me that they spent it anyway. Although I will 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.080 say I do feel like like to pay people that 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:02.880 do stuff for me, even if we're friends, because I 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.439 feel like I'll pay somebody that I don't even know 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.240 for something that they do. Why would not I pay 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.800 my friend? But if you know your but if you 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.840 know somebody is building something and you can help them 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.080 by that's your that's your paying. Like, that's my way 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.960 of contributing. This to saying out lend myself for charity work. 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.199 People will say I won't give money to the charity, 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.400 but I'll come and lend my services for the for 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:23.840 the sake of the charity to help you. So if 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.240 you're building a company yourself, and i'm your friend and 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:27.800 i'm and I'm working with you, it's easy for me 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.240 to say, well, look, I'm not going to charge you 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.520 for that, and it's just my contribution to helping you 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.360 build your brands. So when your brand grows, you can 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.440 able to look back and say you're a part of 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.920 helping me because you could have charged me this. It's 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.440 almost like you gave me that money instead of you 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.000 know what I mean. I think that's I don't like 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.280 when people ask me for favors all the time just 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.760 because we're friends, and you know, when somebody's abusing it, 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.680 that's differ. Much like I have friends that would be like, 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.000 can you host this for me? Can you do this 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.360 to me? And I'm like, normally I get paid yeah 0:12:55.840 --> 0:13:01.160 to do it, but I've donefity sweet person, and you god, 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.439 for a bit, someone asked me to show up host. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:11.400 That's my job. I don't mean you can tell you 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.760 can tell with somebody's I'm the type of person I 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.040 like to do for you first. I want to do 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:17.600 for you first, and then I'll make it clear in 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.439 the beginning, like, um, you know ludicrous. I recently asked 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.480 he did so I did something for him and I 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.360 just said, this was like seven months ago. I say, y'all, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.160 I got my music conference coming up. I need you there. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.959 And he said, yes, I'm gonna do this for you 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.800 for this and when my music conference come, but I 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.600 needs you Dundell. We had a verbal agreement, and it's 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.680 always men. We moved forward. So I like to do 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.960 for somebody first. I'd rather I hate to be able 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.000 to ask to have to ask first. I'd rather do 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.280 something for them and then they reciprocated. Then let me 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.400 ask you this, how real is this whole fucking for 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.320 tracks thing that everybody always talks about, Like, have you 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.280 been approached a lot in your career, you know, obviously 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.959 being a big producer by women who are like, well, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.559 you know, does that happen? Like, I don't think people 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.160 try me like that because they anybody who's ever been 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.280 around you know how serious I take music. I don't 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.320 play with it. And I feel like I'm too talented 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.439 of a person and I'm too I have too much 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.040 more to offer a person than to cheapen my brand 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.320 to fuck you for a record, Right, So when you 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.000 talk to me, I think you can feel that, and 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.840 also you can feel these slimy type of characters who 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.840 you can tell when they like even think about. But 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.720 sometimes in the studio people get a vibe too, like 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.400 when you're being creative with somebody, then you might feel 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.880 like I'm attracted to you while we're working on this. Yeah, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.400 we live in a real weird time, so I kind 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.120 of I'm very cautious around about who's around me anyway, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.119 and I'm not usually around people who aren't really established 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.480 anyway or doing something for themselves, because it saves you 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.600 a lot of bullshit and a lot of trouble. So, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.960 because nothing is worse than when somebody's really hungry tiger, 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:52.640 you know what I mean, that's the worst yeah around, 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.880 you know you kind of like Harri Sulton used to say, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:15:01.440 she's a hungry tiger. That's that's the worst tiger. Yeah. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.480 All right, now people also wrote in some questions and 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.040 we want to get to your advice, and then we're 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.680 going to give us to all right, my status fifteen 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.240 years old, and I've been hiding a secret from him 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:13.680 and I'm trying to figure out a way to tell 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.360 him the truth. The person that's on his birth certificate 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.960 is not his biological father. I just recently found out 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.440 my ex is actually his father. It was a simple mistake. 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.880 I was young, still in high school, and I didn't 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.480 know how to read the ultra sounds, and I had 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.680 hit my pregnancy for five months because I was ashamed. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.680 I was scared. At that time. I didn't know the 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.840 guy that's on the birth certificate wasn't around anyway, so 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.960 it's not like you know him. And that's family. How 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.960 can I break the news to him without confusing him? 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.360 How did the fifteen years old? Ye? Fifteen nowadays is 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.000 what nineteen and the mind? So I think he's old 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.400 enough to have that the same way that you explained 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.760 that on the question. I think you could sit out 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.960 and explain because it doesn't sound bad. It doesn't sound 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.280 like mom's a whore. It just sounds like you know. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.880 I think I think at fifteen he should have an 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.480 idea of the kind of society who lives in. And 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.560 that sounds pretty reasonable, like, yo, I made a mistake. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.920 It was long ago, right, And she needs to know 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.640 the name a father anyway, you don't know the guy. 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.880 That'd be worse if you know. And she needs to 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:17.360 do it now. Waited too long. Just now he's like 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:28.080 another baby, so she's supposed to now, um, contact the 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.160 X and be like, by the way, this fifteen year 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.200 old is your son? Yes, I mean she needs to 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.840 tell her son. She needs to tell him soon, Like 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.520 fifteen years old is already old enough. He needs to 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.040 find out. She could have told him younger. She needs 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.440 to tell him now before he gets older, because when 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.320 you like turning an adult eighteen nineteen, it kind of 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.440 hits you hard, like, damn, I'm nineteen years old. You 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:55.120 waited nineteen years you know is long enough as soon 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.600 as possible. If your mom was a whole, would you 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.800 want her to tell you? But she wasn't all, that's 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.120 a question. I mean since she was said, it's not 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.080 like she was you you'll know anyway, you think, so, yeah, man, 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.400 especially if y'all if she grew up in the same 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.960 place that you're living in now. Because the O G 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.520 s will make a little comments everybody going, notice this 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.520 is a new generation. It ain't like back in the 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.560 day when your mother was a whole and everybody just 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.920 smiled at and wave. Somebody's gonna say something to yes, 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.000 for my uncle used the fucking mother, you know what 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.680 I mean? Like like everybody said, you know like that ship. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.440 After well, everybody's gonna start saying it to you can 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.040 be like, damn, this might be truest bitch. So as 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:32.480 a parent, do you get in front of it and 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:39.960 be like okay, so, like is that the thing you 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.120 get ahead of you just let it happen and don't 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:43.600 explain it. Yeah, I think you get ahead of that. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.480 You talk about that. No, I think you have to 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.040 get ahead of it, like you. You have to prepare them, 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.800 prepare them for what's gonna happen and what they're gonna face. 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:52.840 That's why I don't want you dealing with these types 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.840 of right exactly, I was manipulated, and you know, you 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.160 can make something excuse if you want to say, yeah, 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.520 that's the nation. When I was young and I was 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.359 taught the wrong way by fanatic, and now when I 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:10.240 got older and learned, like six months ago, he write 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:14.280 a song right now, don't don't. I feel like it's 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.639 best for I feel like it's best for your for 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.080 your kids to find out things from about you, from you, 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.960 and then it's so fund up that we gotta that 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.400 people even have to talk about that now. I mean, 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.760 I mean my mother. My mother was a young single mom, 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.359 like she was what she left my father. You know, 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.119 my mom was a young single mom. She used to 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.280 like the party I knew. I mean and my mom 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.600 have a close relationship. I'm not even gonn a lot. 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:46.080
