210
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: looked at me more as like a DJ. And then

648
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,520

00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: I heard, uh, when Biggie was on the air and

650

Speaker 1: air talking about the niggas out here such such such

652
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,040

705
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: Snoop tuparc just with all of you guys. Man, I mean,

706
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he even imagined. He just knew what

707
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: he really had. He had a golden Dre. I mean

708
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: the way you, the way you were, the way Dre was, Uh, Snoop,

709
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: he had nothing but talent. And it's like you just

710
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: all squandered away everybody doing good. But man, just just

711
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: where that would have took it? Do you ever think

712
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: about if I was reading there, bro, it would probably

713
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: would have been different Ship. I don't mean I don't know,

714
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, it probably would have been. It probably

715
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: would have been I'm pretty sure it would have been cold,

716
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, everything would have been good. But I don't

717
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: know if I probably would have blew up as big

718
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: as I did being over there with dev Jam. But

719
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: what I did do is I came back to Shig

720
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: and Dre and I said, I got this song right here.

721
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 1: Can I get this on the soundtrack which was above

722
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: the RAM, which was regulated, which was the biggest recorded.

723
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: So the whole soundtrack made that's almost three million records,

724
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: and then I took the same re released it on

725
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: my for my solo album, and then it made my

726
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: record saill four million and almost twelve worldwide. So if

727
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: I saw I came, I came back and I gave

728
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: that gift back for you know, for my you know,

729
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,879

944
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't get me wrong, but every song that that

945
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the young artist is doing the day

946
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: it's just about stripping, talking about how much dope they

947
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: sell them, the trap and this, that and this. But

948
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: it's I understand that you some of you guys may

949
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: have may be going through that, but we I went

950
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: through the same ship that they're going through worse way,

951
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: worse than that. And uh and I chose to to not.

952
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I talk about certain things and my songs,

953
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 1: but I give a story, but I make it feel good.

954
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: At the same time, A lot of these dudes just

955
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: that's all they talk about, because I understand that's all

956
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, but try to be different from be different

957
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: from that, talk about it, but do it in a

958
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: different way and not just just wow. I mean, and

959
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: it's it's what the ladies to them. I mean, I'm

960
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,439
Speaker 1: down with the younger artists. I'm down with the young ladies.

961
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: But these motherfucker's showing all this asks like everywhere. I mean,

962
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: it's that's all you see, is just asks everywhere. When

963
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: one of them motherfucker's take the decision two do one

964
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: record where they ain't on that ship shaking their ass

965
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: and you know, doing a strip show for motherfucker's and

966
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: they just do maybe like a slight empowerment record for

967
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: the ladies. That motherfucker's gonna change the game, you know,

968
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: because then they started putting that show. So you don't

969
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: have to be huh, So you don't have to be it.

970
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a gangster to make music,

971
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: not because everybody think are under the inception, not at all.

972
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: That's that's that's why I'm trying to say, because everybody

973
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: don't have to be that thug, but everybody want to

974
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: portray the thug because they think that's what sales. And

975
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: you don't have but nine nine gangsters, Uh, everybody gravitate

976
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: to it because they, like you said, but you just said,

977
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: it's like you don't have to be a gamester. But

978
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: if those other people that that make that get big

979
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: and they went through the same they they've been through

980
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: that even though they're not a gangster, you know what

981
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Like they they they can relate to it,

982
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: but they ain't banging. But we can relate to because

983
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: I've been through that. You know, I don't know bang,

984
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: but but they love it. I it's it's I'm trying

985
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: to explain this ship, James, but it's it's uh, but

986
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: they it's this they it's just being dope and being

987
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: different because everybody meant, whether you're a gang banger or not,

988
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: you go through the same ship like you know, motherfucker

989
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: go through fights being bullied. Uh, your homeboys, you probably

990
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: got homeboys. They gang banger. You don't gang bang, but

991
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna go through the ship that they're going through

992
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: because you hang with them, you know. So it's it's

993
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's you know, so they you

994
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: know it's but it's it's uh, it's it's artists that

995
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: that's huge. That's not gangsters. You know that. They ain't gangs.

996
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: You could, you could, you could do ship with that.

997
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think little baby, I don't think

998
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: he had gang bang. I think he just just a

999
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: nigger that just wrapped from North Carolina, you know, but

1000
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,000

1004
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,200

1005
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,160

1006
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,959
