I believe it when 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.800 they when they when they go ahead and circles and 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.600 come back down their lands on earth with all ten 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.480 toes on the earth, And that's when it matters. You know. 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.720 It's a lot of here saying objection and speculations and 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.480 YadA yadas and whatnot. Um are you but are you 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.120 waiting for that? Like a lot of us, a lot 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.040 of us. Everybody been hitting you know, I've been. I've 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:16.679 been getting the emails, you know, from lawyers and everybody 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.440 we can we can send there, you know, the cease 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.280 and desist letters and all that. While they're coming out 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.000 the woodworks, right, they're coming out the woodworks on me too. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.280 But I have been telling people since a long time ago, 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.440 I was telling casting day win when castors like actually 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.160 change at when I was kind of doing bad, when 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.000 I was putting my CDs on the block, and you 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.880 know Nicks was talking. I mean he was wrong with that. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.320 Ni Ninka the got over on him. In all honesty, 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.120 they didn't. I didn't sell my publish it. That's why 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.480 I was one of the number one enemies. He said, 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.600 no publishing. They okay, well, we can't eat off the 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.560 X because he didn't give us no did in the publishing, 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.480 So were not put him on this just just din 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.679 that that's would happen. So let's elaborate a little bit, man, 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.640 for those that don't know, we're talking to a lot 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.359 of people that don't know how to music in the 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.320 street really functionous for y'all that don't know, you're publishing 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.960 is your writer's portion of the song. That's your mailbox, 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:21.360 that's your actual inflection property, that's how you live and 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.519 all that stuff. But when when you want to get groceries, 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.720 you want a hamburger without it is probably gonna come 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.880 out one of those texts that come to the mailbox. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:34.160 You know, Um, a lot of cats don't know when 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.800 they get into the game like I didn't know. I 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.840 had a home girl that taught me a few things. 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.880 She was like, don't be giving up this, don't do that, 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:45.240 don't do that, and don't sign this paperwork. I said, okay, 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.880 so that's what's up in in in in certain situations, 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.520 I think I was more than naive and stubborn than 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.840 than actually knowing what was going on, because I just 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.000 felt in my heart of hearts, like, honey, if I 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.720 make that skateboard and put the wheels on it, that's 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.680 my skateboard. So if you come down you're talking about 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.760 you want to swoopie my hoopie, where you gotta get 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.120 permission from me? I made that skateboard? How many And 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.360 I've had the same thing about the right now? How long? 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.520 Why am I gonna give you all the money for 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:23.000 the stuff that I wrote? And then when when when 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.800 Cast was giving me their logic on that, it wouldn't 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:30.719 making sense. Also, it's you know, that's how it's done. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:36.960 I'm like, that's how it's done. Where the this Yeah, 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.200 dah dah, this is this is the road. I ain't 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.159 to put nobody I having to say that, but it 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.400 was the role and it was like, yeah, you know 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.360 you got to play the role. You gotta get a 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.000 role you're publishing, and I'm like, well, a lot of 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.520 I never I never agreed to that. I think the 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:58.760 error from music from day one with labels and artists 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:05.520 and whatever. Labels always sought after securing your publishing give 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.640 me uh. It was another way for them to ship, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.880 you know. So uh, I think it was every label's 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.320 approach as far as signing an artist to try to 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.880 secure their publishing because that's that long, withstanding money, and 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.080 you know, I think everybody went through that that. I 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:32.880 know a lot of a lot of published and never 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.760 it was a thing. Taking your publishing was a thing. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.080 So did you face a lot of resistance by not 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.200 giving up your publisher? Yeah, I faced a lot of 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.680 resistance because everybody was like X you know when he 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.520 was hearing all the nascy ship about me and you, 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:54.760 that was done. So um, I wouldn't be out there 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.880 doing my own thing, gloating and flossing in front of 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.560 him with the change that I'm getting off my because 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.320 I don't have to give mind to this this cat 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:10.320 mm hmm. Be honest with you. When Dre and mad it, 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.479 I would say Dre had just got like I think 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:18.159 it was like a she wok. Had Win brought up 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.240 two door black joint and Dray had the brown joint, 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.800 yet speakers all down it side of that joint. Stupid. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:31.040 I was like, oh, I made a couple of moves. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.880 I ran, they got me one. This was about years 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.599 before none of the homies were starting to see their money. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.720 And the only reason I was able to do that 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.280 because I didn't give it up. I was like nine 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:48.359 not you know, and um, I made told some people 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.279 we can we can speak and they think they was like, well, 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.760 can I get a percentage of it? And then I 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:59.880 started thinking that might be feasible. But once you start that, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.120 despite um, it's all bad. Once you get somebody in 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.680 the door, now they're in your house. I ain't giving 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.120 them no publicy because now you gotta wait until they contract, 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.440 until you think, until they think that the terms have 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:20.240 been uh sufficient, and you go your way and they 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.320 go their way. They're gonna be in your mix for flapping. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.760 But what's going on with the catalog right now, with 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.160 the whole because this we're talking this specific. You know 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.640 the chronic catalog, man, Well, the chronic right now is 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:40.680 uh at interscope from what I'm hearing, and um, by 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.280 all accounts, they're striving to get things one huntry with 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.920 all the individuals like they want all the various entities 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.360 about it there. Now you know where it was at. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.800 It was some people that had their hands in the 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:59.480 cookie jar. Well when they got pulled down, there was 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.760 no longer were able to and they ain't had the 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.480 power to put it that. They were just some entities, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.720 you know. I know for a fact when we was 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.000 writing that joint, it was only it was only three, 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.680 it was only three folks in the building, great Snooping myself. 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.120 Then we go look at it and it's time to 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.960 get paid. It's about eight writers on there, and surely 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:25.520 you're gonna have uh people getting paid or writers for 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:30.880 the sample m hm, you know what I mean, but 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.760 for the actual writing. And that was me and Snoop 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.080 that they credit you for writing. So you do you 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.280 have do you have songs that's ready to get me right? 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.800 Let me right? So it has anybody contacted you want 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.120 to do stuff about you know that's gonna come up 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.080 to date and what's your ownership percentage and all of that. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:58.160 So you wrote twelve, twelve point five twelve. Yeah, I'm all. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:05.640 My tenant knows. It's just that it's just that this 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:10.440 situation has been going on for a while, and you know, 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.360 it's it's like Charlotte's where you're not and when you're 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.720 going into inscribing and make it correct, you can't just 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.439 going there. And I mean, and you got all, like 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.679 I said before, the nefarious entities that but they convoluted 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.680 in weird ways when they was on their way out, 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.800 they put their little combos shones. They're not gonna make 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.839 it easy for nobody coming after them. So the people 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.000 that comes after them, it's not gonna be no five 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:36.560 or ten people. You're gonna have to get a whole 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:42.079 crew to come in and and and and administrate this 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.000 whole mess because it's still a real valuable it's the 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:51.040 West valuable. But you gotta get it right. And I 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:55.640 think that's what what this is. Dray's baby, So Drey, 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.439 So just so I got this clear, and we know 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.480 out here spreading no false and from Dre has the 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.480 rights to the chronic He brought the rights back. That's 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.040 his album now, right, It's always been at album as 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:10.199 far as i'm concerned. But yeah, that's the word, you know. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.320 And the reason I'm saying that it's because because you 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.720 can now pull it up on streets, right, and that 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.040 that's why I'm saying. It couldn't listen my folks, And 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:24.640 now I'm striving like Spotify or it was, it was gone. 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.120 You could never listen to any of it in My 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.160 bottom line was crushed because of that. Like I'm gonna 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.720 keep it a buck like you know, I go out 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.320 to do my little hustling thing and that's all good. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.199 But the main state and the bread and the butter 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.360 was was my chronic stuff you did. So he was 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.040 making a nice piece of money off that. Right when 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:45.959 you get the message with my bread and butter, it's 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.960 a problem. But then I understood why I didn't at first. 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.480 Then one of my cats called me, was like, halm down, 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.920 going to bite the bullet. They had to get everything 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.360 right here to get the ministration right. We strive. We're 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.800 striving to do that now. So it wouldn't believe they 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.240 ain't know. It ain't nothing that my folks did bad. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:10.199 It ain't nothing nobody did tideways were usually. It ain't 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.840 something that they usually. It ain't people all the time 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.880 trying to be fine, and sometimes it's just people not 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.319 having to throw understanding of the business of what's going on. Yeah, now, 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.559 it's just not because a lot of us just got 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.400 into the business blind, like a mother a mother to 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.280 be able to just go into the studio or make 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.480 a mother's Remember, the content was popping just to go 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.560 and they were finding that auts like I'm getting fits. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.360 I mean, really wasn't too knowledgeable back in the day 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.520 and all that show. You know, it was just young 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.560 cats who was trying to look to get in the 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.439 studio and trying to make and out of the motherfucker situation. 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.400 And if my home girl had not said don't give 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.319 it up, who knows what would happen. But she said, 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.160 whatever you do, don't sell nobody you're publishing. I said no, 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.720 she said, now that's your money. You don't need that. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.160 I said, well, so when Cats came at me in 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.680 a way, twisted kind of way, that really put the 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:11.319 red flags up, like you know how that go, like 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.400 like okay, nigger, I don't like the way that went 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.800 down there. You definitely ain't getting ship. That's what happened 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:23.800 because you never after the chronic you wouldn't sign with 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.680 Drey aftermath when he left right and then you left 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.199 Drey and you went on you because I remember you 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.080 was on the attack for a minute.
