He it was on a 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.040 street The name of the label was street Wise Party 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.760 Time and it was death Jam Productions. I bought a 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.200 song by this artist back then. His name was Tela 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:57.760 rock still Is and I ended up sending in a demo, 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.000 and you know, we ended up starting the label deaf Jam, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.200 and I was the first artist. Russell Simmons and Rick 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.960 Rubin started the label and I was the flagship artist. 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.280 So all of the things that came out after that, 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.200 all of the artists that you can think of that 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.600 were on deaf Jam came were birth from that from 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.440 that moment, and I started that. I was sixteen years 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.719 old when we started the label and I got on 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.400 so and then it was but it was independent. Then 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.800 we signed a deal with CBS and got major distribution 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:27.840 and things. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.000 Thank you for saying that, because I didn't know that 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:31.039 it was independent at first. 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.920 I thought, oh, yeah, no, it was completely Yeah. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.920 See when I when I started, there were no there 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.600 was no hip hop industry, you know what I'm saying. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.000 So you basically created the genre. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.920 No, I definitely was a fan of the genre from 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.960 the beginning. So I became a fan of eight years old, right, 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.039 you know, but before they made rap records, before they 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.960 were records, it was all on tapes and on mixtapes 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.840 and like what we would call blend tapes today. You 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.960 would catch him at the parks and stuff like that, right, 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.000 So I, you know, I became a fan of eight. 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.360 When I was eleven or twelve, I started writing, right, 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.760 and then when I was fourteen, I started trying to. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.760 Make a demo, and then at age sixteen we started 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:10.160 Death Jam. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.720 But there was labels like sugar Hill, and there were 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.680 labels like Enjoy, and they were labels like Tommy Boy, 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.280 which were early but they but death Jam was the 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.200 first label that that that in the modern era, because 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.480 you know, it's kind of like art. There's there's modern postmodern, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:32.120 there's contemporary, right, Well, death jam ushered in a modern 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.760 era for the time, you know what I'm saying, Like 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:35.360 all those. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.599 Other labels were we were. 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.400 Like pre you know what I'm saying, Like they were 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.960 like they were contemporaries, and then all of a sudden, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.360 death jam are ushered in the modern era. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.720 You date, so you. 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.880 Said, like at eight years old is when you when 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.440 you got the love of music? 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.320 So who inspired you? Who were you listening to? 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.320 So there was there was there was a Treacherous Three, 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:55.279 There was the Feelers four. 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:56.400 There was a Foursome Seeds. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.359 There was a Cold Crush you know, which is like JDL, 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.760 Almighty KG, Grand Master CAZ. There was you know, there 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.919 was you know the Fourth MC's, you know Mercury and 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.280 all you know, all of them from Staten Island. There 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.440 was a fantastic Romantic five, Whip a Whip. There was 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.720 all these different artists that never really recorded. Then there 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.279 was also Grandmaster Flash in the Furious five and the 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.760 Treacherous Three and the Crash Crew and the Fearless four 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.920 and Zulu Nation and all these different groups that were 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.360 in this small world in New York. You know what 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.159 I'm saying, and we were just kind of exposed to it, 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.000 you know what I'm saying. So I was like, I'm 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.320 like a kind of a hybrid of sorts because I 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:39.799 was a. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:40.720 Fan of the very I was that. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.320 Fan at the very beginning, you know what I'm saying, 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:44.800 And also got the. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:46.360 Like record very young. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:52.680 So because of that, like my chronological contemporaries would be 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:58.000 like Jay and Pack and Biggie. Chronologically from an age standpoint, it's. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.640 Like Jay and Pack and Big and all them. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.799 But from a rap standpoint, I'm like ten fifteen years earlier, 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:05.920 you know what I'm saying in terms of hip hop, 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.760 because I started so young, you. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.600 You know what I'm saying. Like I was like, but 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.040 I just wasn't a kiddie rapper. 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.360 I started very young, but I didn't come out as 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.480 a kiddy rapper, So nobody ever saw me as that. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.679 We'll be right back with more of a Buller Alert show. 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.400 How do you feel about hip hop in today's age? 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.640 I think I don't. I don't have any issues with it. 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:32.200 I think that you know, see anything, The key is 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.520 that anything that you do is going to evolve and change, right, 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.800 So the question becomes, here's the difference. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:39.680 Here's the difference with hip hop. 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.240 You know, it's funny, it's a big word, but it's 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.040 the democratization has taken place. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:45.760 So what does that mean? 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.720 Basically, what it means is that now everybody can play 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:54.480 in the NBA. Right, It's like like today in the NBA, 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.880 Steph and Kad and you know and and you know 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:04.000 and everybody you could think of that you love. They 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.240 they are in a world. They're in a like a 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.880 like a walled garden. And you can't play in the 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.360 NBA just because you want to play, right, okay, even 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.280 if you bounce the ball. See well, in hip hop, 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.040 when I first started, it was like that. It was 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.360 like you can't play unless you at a certain level 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.000 or a certain skill set and all that that changed. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.600 The Internet changed that. So now everybody, anybody can who 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.800 can bounce the ball can play. Is that a bad thing? 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.439 Sometimes it is? Sometimes it isn't. It depends. Like an 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.720 artist like Soldier Boy wouldn't have happened when we first 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.480 started that that wouldn't have been possible. 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.839 That story Soldier bore character stream, you. 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:40.440 Know, not the. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.160 Gotcha he liked that ship. Look at him. I'm going 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.160 he don't wower y'all. No, I was really just thinking 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.760 like that, what son? 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:52.480 But you know what, the reason why I use him 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.160 as an example was because he was that. He's the 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.320 first he was And I just talked about it earlier 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.680 to SOLDI, I love you bro about with Jady no 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:07.280 my man, Ray. But the thing is, because of the 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.959 way YouTube happened and the way it emerged, it was 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.000 there was no real gatekeepers involved with his success. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.480 That's why his story couldn't have happened. 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.280 He's you know, you know, he made a great song 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.160 and you know with that first song and it went 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.240 from there and all that. But that was the thing. 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.920 So it's like, those are the differences in hip hop. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.360 The other differences in hip hop is that now you 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:33.880 know the current society, the mindset is much more layered, right, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.760 It's a more layered way of thinking. So you know 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.480 when we when we were first started, you make a song, 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.520 you make a rhyme, you make a record, that was it. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.679 Or you make a rhyme, you wrap it a party, 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.520 You make a rhyme, you make a record, maybe you 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:47.079 make a video. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:47.600 That's it. 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.079 Now, Like I was saying earlier to somebody, a girl 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.079 would make a song, then you make a rhyme that 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.960 she's thinking about a video, and then she's thinking about 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.040 a brand, and then she's thinking about monetization of pages 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:02.080 and thinking about and she's thinking about her she's thinking 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.680 about all of the ways to create an ecosystem around 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:09.600 themselves that goes beyond just the craft. So that's the difference, 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.120 you know what I'm saying, That's like the major difference. 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.040 Like it's no structure, basically what you're saying with the 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.199 new generation. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.000 Now there is structure. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.440 I just think it's a it's a much more it's 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.439 a it's a much more savvy way. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.800 Of approaching the art form. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.839 What happens though, is now the one the one thing, 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.920 the one thing that you got to remember, you know 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.000 what I'm saying is that because of that, sometimes sometimes 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.720 not always, sometimes they don't focus on the craft as 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:42.240 much because they're so focused on being It's like they're 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.720 so focused on being a star that they maybe not 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.040 bouncing the ball as much. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.640 You feel me, they're not playing with the rock as much. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.440 So you know, you know, you know, it's a little 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.600 harder to get a Kyrie because you know, Kyrie would 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.040 be like over here worrying about his T shirt line 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.240 instead of bouncing the ball. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.520 What do you think? 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:06.200 So we did speak about how it's a we know 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.880 that hip hop is changing, it's evolving as an artist, 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.839 do you feel that you have to do that as well? 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.600 Like you need to involve evolve, like of what you 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.280 think the people may want to hear at this day 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.440 and age. And I bring that up because I know, 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:26.640 you know, passion is out and it gave me nostalgia vibes. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.920 You know, it took me back to like real hip hop. 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:35.440 Yeah, so so here's my thing with that, right, you 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.480 can't fake create, you know what I'm saying, like not 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.040 If you want to last, you gotta do what you love. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.520 Now what does that mean? That means you got to 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.520 really pay attention. You got to understand the mindset. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:47.520 Of the word. 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.000 You can't make music that reaches the people if you 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.040 don't understand the people. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.880 If you don't know that people are still smelling pissy elevators. 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.120 And you know, and you don't know that people are 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.880 you know, sleeping on the floor to avoid gunshots, and 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.400 if you don't understand danger and if you only living 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.360 in your star bubble, you know, you're gonna be boring, 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.920 you're gonna be leading with your wallet, and ultimately that 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.920 shit is gonna be goofy, you know what I mean. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.720 Like that's where it's gonna end up right now in 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.360 terms of like what people are gonna want to hear. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.760 The way I look at it is like this. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.120 If I was sixteen, if I was nineteen, if I 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.640 was twenty two, I don't really care about your resume. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.040 That shit don't matter to me. I respect it. 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.200 But if you want to impress me when I press play, 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.960 I gotta like that shit. Like that's ultimately where like 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.160 all that other shit is cool, it's great. 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.840 Oh yeah, yeah, go yeah, yeah, yeah, man, you're the man. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:40.800 You did this.

Man, They just forget that the 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.760 world exists, and it becomes so self absorbed that they 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:17.400 don't change. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.800 They don't adapt.
