27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 4: to him, and then with Little Wayne. Some weed story,

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: but it's I had like gave baby some weed and

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: then like he hadn't paid me for it. So I

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 4: had went to New Orleans to collect on the weed.

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it.

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 4: Was only like nine hundred dollars or whatever, but the

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: fact that it was the time, you know, you had

34
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 4: the red like that, you have it like that, so

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: you don't know, I'm going down there for this, but

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: I'm following him down here, like uncle, I.

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: Need this, you know.

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: Then I ended up meaning Wayne that way, and we

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: built a great relationship, right, kind of like smoking.

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: And Wayne didn't even know I rap for a while,

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: you know, didn't Luda know you rap? Yeah, he knew

42
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: I rapped, Okay, he knew I was trying to rap.

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: Trying to rap. Yeah, Wayne had no clue. He thought

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: maybe I just saw weed, so started telling him I did.

45
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 3: On the side rapidly is what I really tried to do,

46
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: and this is what I want to do, you know.

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: And then honestly, being around Wayne shaped me to be,

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: you know, the artist I am. Now.

49
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: Wayne had a made back with a driver, he had

50
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: a chef, so I was able to get around him

51
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 4: and pick up on certain instincts and certain things that

52
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: I felt like helped make him successful.

53
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: And it was convenience.

54
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: It was like having all these things around it you right, well,

55
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: you didn't have to do a lot, you know what

56
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

57
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: You just need to focus now you can just focus

58
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: on one particular thing, being the best at what I

59
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: want to do.

60
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: So it's not a secret.

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: I got that directly from Wayne. The work ethic of

62
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: him just you know, studio every day, every night.

63
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: I got that from him.

64
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned that being around Little Wayne, you saw you

65
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: have a Maybok and you saw he had a private chef.

66
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: You saw he had a certain thing, a level of convenience.

67
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: What did you learn from Ludle because Louda had had

68
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: blown up at that time and now he's a household name.

69
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: What did you learn, if anything from that situation? Little

70
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 3: is very.

71
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 4: Business savvy, so I can say, I picked up a

72
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 4: lot of the business savviness from him and his team.

73
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: It was a product somewhere, it was product placement he

74
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: was getting paid for. He wasn't just holding a product, right,

75
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. He wasn't rapping about something.

76
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: That he not getting paid, you know what I mean.

77
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: So he was somebody that I guess I could say,

78
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: you know, kind of taught me how to monetize, you know,

79
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 4: things through music, right, you know, product or whatever it

80
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 4: could be.

81
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 5: Is it hard to really blow up when you signed

82
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: to someone else's label?

83
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: No, I mean we saw Drake and NICKI was signed

84
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 4: to the Little Wayne, correct it is? I think Kanye

85
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: was under Yeah, So I think I think it just depends.

86
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes it looks good the numbers, the more

87
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: you know, the strength of numbers, things kind of look.

88
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: It looks good if everybody's doing well.

89
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: But you know, sometimes it's only room for this one

90
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: thing to go through this or two things, and if

91
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: you're not a part of that, you seem to get

92
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: put on the back burn and feel some type of way.

93
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: So just to cut the emotion out, let me just

94
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 4: be responsible for my own career and remember Tony told

95
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: you about the eight they gonna throw like you'll be hiccup.

96
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,920

Speaker 3: What?

100
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: Why did you decide to say, you know what, I'm

00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 5: gonna do this on my own.

102
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: Jermaine actually called me one time he had a whole

103
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: on three Way, and he tells the story different. He

104
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,279

Speaker 4: And I talk about this in the book. Jad Now,

178
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: I don't talk about them by just talking about this instance,

179
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: oh me listening to the voice and wondering if it

180
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: led me in the right direction. Obviously I'm right here now,

181
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: But what happened if my if I say, I just

182
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: go on my own, and I don't know what would

183
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: have happened. But this is one instant.

184
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: Well, I listened to my voice and they said I

185
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: couldn't bring pray my dog, and I didn't. I didn't go,

186
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: but I always wondered what would have happened? You know?

187
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: Listening to this voice has got me Yes, yes, So

188
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: I don't you know why I'm questioning it, But I

189
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: do wonder sometimes.

190
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: Had they said you could bring it, would you have

191
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: gotten on that flight?

192
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I answer, I wanted to get on the flight.

193
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: I definitely want to get on the flight, but I

194
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: almost wanted to be loyal to a part of that.

195
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: He an't kind of like that, that's all. How did

196
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: you get Wayne to hop on a song?

197
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: What you doing? Man? Wayne? And he's just cool man

198
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: man Man? Him were friends, Like I said, we were friends.

199
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: First it was a music based and then I remember

200
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: being if it wasn't a Maybaker, it was a fantom

201
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 4: And I told him I rapped and played you know,

202
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 4: some of some of the music, and we just bonded quickly.

203
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: We've been you know, he's one of my best men

204
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 4: at my wedding, so you know, anytime it's just it

205
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 4: was just been an any time thing for him. I've

206
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 4: been in the studio over him many times where he

207
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: I haven't wrapped one one second because he likes to

208
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 4: just do.

209
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 3: What he does in the studio.

210
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 4: Then there's been many times that we get in and

211
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 4: kind of, you know what I'm saying, sharpen each other up.

212
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: So is it true you paid him? Eet on a

213
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 3: hundred fifty thousand for him to hop on the or

214
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 3: get your feature for double back.

215
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 4: Yes, well, at this time Wayne was charging well baby

216
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: was charging one hundred and he was charging Wayne one hundred.

217
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: So how he charged he ain't on the song, but

218
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: he was over cash money.

219
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 4: So anybody when Wayne was so hot, if anybody wanted Wayne,

220
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: he would be like, I need a hundred two, and

221
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 4: people would obviously do absolutely, so Wayne does the song

222
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: for me for so this is really what happened. Wayne

223
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: used to wear like these skateboards. She's been staying a

224
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: long time, they call supers and something like this. And

225
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: I would wear stuff like Pradas and Gucci shoes and

226
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 4: all this stuff. And so I go to Gucci and

227
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 4: they got these red red Gucci's out. I'm like, hey, shorty,

229
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: You know, he represents Red Team and all that. So

230
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: I get these red Gucci's and I make him to

231
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: him at the studio. He don't know him about to

232
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: take it to him. But I also got like a

00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 4: beat CD and I'm not doing this for the other thing,

234

Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I was a.

312
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: Like an indirect member of Good Music for sure. I

313
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: learned from that situation too. Yeah, try to learn from

314
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: every situation I get in you know what I'm saying.

315
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned that you was doing Verson for free,

316
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: and Kanye said, man, hey he charged on the band.

317
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly what he did, and they

318
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 4: and they went up to a hunter right then and there.

319
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

320
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: I mean I could have been charging the whole time,

321
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: but it was like, man, I was just knocking that

322
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: junk out man at the time.

323
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: And still now.

324
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 4: When somebody would ask me to do a future it

325
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 4: would be very important to give it back to them

326
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 4: like the same day. So it was more about me

327
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: just showing my level, the level of business and work

328
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 4: ethic that I had as far as I'm gonna get

329
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: this done, I'm gonna give back to you. I'm you know,

330
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 4: make sure I show up and show out and hopefully,

331
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: you know, I got somebody to handle the type of

332
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: business for me. But you know, when you you know,

333
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: it wasn't that I was just the first in the game.

334
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: It was just that I was, you know, becoming successful

335
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: at that time. And you know, when you get successful,

336
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: a lot of people gonna call your phone, you know,

337
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: ask for certain things. So I think I just wanted

338
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: to be like the dude that got on and wasn't

339
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: acting funny, you know what I'm yeah, Yeah, I think

340
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: that's what it was like. Man, I ain't changed, you

341
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.

342
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: That's how I kind of and just try to play

343
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: by that right there. And then sometimes people try to

344
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: take advantage of that. People take your kindness all the time.

345
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: They'll play with you until they know they can't play

346
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: with you.

347
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: Sight Beef, Same Color on at the Strike and the

Speaker 4: Least sailor Beaf dolls Over.

349
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: And Kanye put you on one of his songs.

350
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: When you featured on one of his songs, it's still huge,

351
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: But during that time, it was probably was at the

352
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: crescendo when when you get the call okay, Kanye Weeds,

353
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: it's a big and they want you on it.

00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: So what what what Kanye?

386
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 4: hotel that that basically he he rents out the whole

387
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 4: floor and used it for a studio. So I'm there

388

391
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 4: across the street from the room they're using for a studio.

392
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm just just right across the hall, right

393
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: across the hall, excuse me. And I go over there

394
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: and I do a verse, and I do the verse

395
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 4: fairly quick, you know what I'm saying. And I hear

396
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 4: the guy Chay, my homie Chay. He on the phone

397
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 4: where yeah, And I guess he telling him, man, he

398
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 4: he knocked it out, and he like he did?

399
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: What what you mean I got? I hear.

400
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 4: I guess he's saying like he's he's done, and so

401
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 4: I guess he telling them pull up, pull up, pull

402
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 4: up something else. So he pull up something else and

403
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 4: I knock it out again, and I remember, I remember

404
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: sha at the time. He asked me like, well do

405
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: you have You must have had this verse rotter already

406
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: in your head. And I'm really like nah, I'm just

00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: I want to do something. I want to prove myself.

409
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 4: And so this happens about three or four times where

410
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 4: they tell me pull up another song, and you know,

411
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: I knock it out fast forward.

412
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 3: I go about my business.

413
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 4: I get a call they tell me a single gonna

414
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: drop tomorrow with you Kanye, Push and shun.

415
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: Now, keep in mind, I've never heard the song before.

416
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 4: I've never heard it. When I did this song, it

417
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 4: didn't sound like this. This person wasn't on a ye going,

418
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 4: so I don't even so I'm like, man, can I

419
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: hear the song. So I hear the song and it's Mercy,

420
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: you know, And that's when I started realizing, like the

421
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 4: Magic Home possessed, because the song sounded nothing like that

422
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 4: when I did my verse too, you know, and would

423
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 4: go on and Mercy becomes, you know, whatever it becomes.

424
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's like the beginning introduction of you know,

Speaker 4: our relationship is mercy, your best version, what you think,

426
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 4: your best verse is what you on, who you on.

427
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: I actually think some of my best verses on my

428
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 4: latest project, really, which is cool to see because that's

429

Speaker 4: Big Sean know that too. Though Big Sean ain't nothing

450
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 4: to play with it. First of all, Sean on once,

451
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 4: you know, but you know when it came at that

452
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 4: right there, man, I just took pride in it. You know,

00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: So it was just like that kind of life. It

457
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: was a nice mixture. Though it worked out real well.

458
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 3: It seemed like everybody been getting into it with Kanye.

459
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 3: Big Sean say, man, that man don't be money.

460
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: Because he Kanye said that Jay making money off his catalog.

461
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: Big Sean said, well, you inate you know you got mine,

462
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: So what's the you don't have those problems?

Speaker 3: Yeah, neither do I speak on anybody else's. I like that.

464
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: I like that how you get them somewhere? Ariana Grande inspire.

465
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 4: I inspired her to do something through that inspiration. She

466
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 4: reciprocated it by doing.

467
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: A hook for me.

468
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 4: So she had like when I did the pretty Girls

469
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 4: like trap music thing where everything was pink, and you know,

470
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 4: just I had the pink Trap House in Atlanta, which

471
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 4: inspired the Trap Museum the Ti has So I had

472
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 4: a museum that was pink. But like Tip told me

473
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: out in own mind, so he ended up. So that

474
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 4: was a lesson I kind of learned. But that was

475
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: that inspiration. But it just some of the ideas that

476
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: I put out into the world inspire other things. And

477
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 4: so with the Ariana Grunde, it inspired her to do

478
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: her stage basically just like my all pink car all,

479
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And so I knew somebody

480
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 4: or it was somebody that knew both of us. It

481
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 4: was a mutual person that put us together because it

482
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: was just different, you know, if you get caught up

483
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: into that social media step, you know, which I did,

484
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 4: and we communicated, we figured out a way to make it.

485
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: Work for both of us, and it did. Who's someone

486
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: you haven't worked with that you'd like to work with.

487
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 4: I used to want to work with whole because I know,

488
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: you know, he does it when he wants to right,

489
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Yeah, he ain't really that.

490
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: He got to be in that space.

491
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 3: He got to be there.

492
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 4: He got to be there, and I understand and respect that.

493
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 4: So I think I might have might have missed my opportunity. Yeah,

494
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 4: I'm you know, it might have just was a but

495
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,239
Speaker 4: it's just a you know, you just respect him as

496
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: what he's done and everything. And then when I look

497
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 4: at you know, and think of all the people and

498
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: just listen to all the people you name, it's not

499
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: many people left that I hadn't done anything with brother

500
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 4: old or new. I just shot a video Ron Osley,

501
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: I had Ron Eisley, Man, I my mom Auntie. I

502
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 4: had Ron and Ernie on the block, Ernie playing a

503
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: guitar on more than more than that in front of

504
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: the corner store. So it's like, man, I'm just so

505
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 4: you know, blessed. But in that in that, in that,

506
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 4: in that vein, I guess the only person would be

507
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 4: left would be him. I've done something with like, I mean,

508
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 4: everyone else, but everyone else, man, all the all my favorites,

509
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 4: all the you know, I mean, I love Drake and Kearricter,

510
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: I love Scarface, I love you know, Eminem is such

511
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 4: a lyrical giant doing something with him, you know, all

512
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 4: all the and then you just talk about people that

513
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 4: just like this is what they want to do, rap

514
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 4: at a high level. And then you go to talking

515
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 4: about like just people who got something to do with

516
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 4: the culture, like you know, the Migos, Rest in Peace,

517

Speaker 4: Takeoff and just being a part of like, you know,

Speaker 1: want a Grammy with chance to rap Her for no Problems?

535
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: What was that moment?

536
00:23:50,640 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 4: Like, man, it was one of the moments where I'm

537
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 4: gonna explain this, explain this in a way that you

538
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: can understand. So I was very happy to get the Grammy,

539
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: very very very excited. So when I my first platinum

540
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 4: plak I got was no Lie right, and I was happy,

541
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 4: but it had Drake on her. And then the second

542
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: plaque I got, it was Birthday Song, and I was

543
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 4: happy because it was my song, but it had Yay

544
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 4: on it. My third platinum plaque was something different and.

545
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: There was nobody on it. It was just me, my hood,

546
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: my verse. DJ Mussele did the beat.

547
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 4: And when that went platinum, I got chill bumps because

548
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: I realized that a million people had bought my my

549
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 4: just my idea, you know. And so with the Grammy,

550
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 4: when I look in the mirror, I'm thankful for the GRAMM,

551
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 4: but I know, like you know, even though Chance didn't

552
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 4: know Wayne, I put Wayne on the song like that

553
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 4: was my God. He didn't know I might want it.

554
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: Did all that Chance came to my studio shot the video.

555
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 4: I was really helpful for it and thankful for it,

556
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 4: but it's Chance hung a right.

557
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: It's a chance you want to grab me on your own. Man,

558
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 3: he's so smart, he's so intelligent. It's crazy.

586
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: and you was trying to rap and he's like, Bro,

587

Speaker 1: I can't I can't understand your dialect. Bro, what's Yeah?

588
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: I told you know, dra is a perfectionist and that's

589
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 4: why I guess you want to be around him, you know,

590
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: but he is a you know what it is.

591
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 3: It's like Dre.

592
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 4: It's like rap is at a point now where you

593
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 4: it's like Ai but not AI. But it's quicker and faster.

594
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 4: And sometimes if if the end of a word is

595
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 4: not a nun said, it's still taking.

596
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: It's like dope because it's a vibe. It's the energy.

597
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 3: Dra ain't going for that. He want to hit the

598
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 3: t you want to hit the dot on the ie.

599
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 3: I said, Man, I got an overbite, bro, I can't

00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 3: Well, Dre, we got cool, We got cool quick.

620
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: He showed me around the house. I'm into interior design.

621
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 4: So his house so figh, you know what I'm saying,

622
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: Home got fingerprint. I guess why I got my finger

623
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: print from man? I get something mayor you know what

624
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 4: I mean. He got the fingerprint, but he got the

625
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 4: real likes and you know, yeah, you really cut it off.

626
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 4: And and and you ain't gonna be got that. He

627
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 4: ain't that you did. So but he got all this stuff,

628
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 4: and you know, then he got a gym kind of

629
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 4: the same bond, you know what I mean. And then

630
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 4: you know, I smoke, you know often, And so his

631
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: place had never been his studio. He was even saying,

632
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 4: like at the time, I don't even know snoop had

633
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 4: even been over there, but no one had smoked over there.

634
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 4: But he said, you know what changed, I'm gonna let

635
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 4: you smoke man, and smoked.

636
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: We just I appreciate it.

637
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 4: I should appreciate it because when I did work with Eminem,

638
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: I couldn't smoke in there. They put my when it

639
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: was time to work with Eminem. It was actually kind

640
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 4: of kind of funny. When it's time to work with Eminem,

641
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: they put and this is his people, It's not Eminem.

642
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 4: Eminem is somewhere right and he's not even standards, but

643
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,239
Speaker 4: his people are just so concerned with him. They put

644
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 4: the speakers outside so I can listen to the beat.

645
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: So I'm outside, It's a beautiful day of Malibu. I'm

646
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 4: just smoking the speakers outside. So then I come back

647
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 4: in and do my my verse and the doors closed,

648
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: and I'm and I'm I'm in the boot smoking and

649
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 4: I see M. I actually see him out out there,

650
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: so I'm liken he and here why I recording this hard?

651
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: And so he's about to like come in and say something,

652
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: and like some of these people like you know.

653
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: No, you know, don't go in there.

654
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 4: He's smoking, and M looks like the shit the down,

655
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 4: like y'all like what they I guess he was thinking

656
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 4: like what do you think I'm about to do? Like

657
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: you know, I guess he thinking like what you I

658
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 4: don't even know if that they'll let you know the time. No,

659
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 4: that's a DVD player. Yeah, that's a DVD player for

660
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 4: the DVD in to watch a movie. But I remember

661
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: them kind of like tripping on him being around and

662
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 4: he was not tripping at all. But other than that,

663
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 4: that's that's basically like all I need for a studio

664
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: a couple of joints.

665
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, I'm self motivated. I don't

666
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: need you need. I'm not gonna say he was instrumental

667
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: with Drake? What did I mean?

668
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 5: Cause Drake has helped a lot of people, and we

669
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 5: know what Drake you represent and you cool with Drake.

670
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: So how was that? How was that? How did that

671
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: relationship start?

672
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: Then?

673
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: And then you working with him through Wayne? You know,

674
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: he was with cash money.

675
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 4: So when I had when we had the song Dumble

676
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: Bad Boys, Wayne was on tour, it was called IM

677
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 4: Music Tour. When he went on tour, the first night

678
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 4: he went on tour, he did he wrapped my Verse

679
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: to Double Bad Boys on stage, like somebody had told

680
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 4: me in Florida. So I'm calling him like bro, and

681
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 4: he was like, man, you need to come out here

682
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: because I can't just stop after the hook. People know

683
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 4: your verse type stuff, you know what I'm saying. So

684
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 4: that was like an indirect invitation. And when I went

685
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 4: on tour with him, I met Draking a few other people,

686
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, and NICKI and all of

687
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 4: those people. So that was maybe like oh eight oh

688
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 4: nine met him, and you know, we all did a

689
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 4: tour together, so that's how those stuff come back.

690
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: You but you the song you like and I heard

691
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: you talk about it, you like, I ain't got nothing

692
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: to do it. Man, the man put my name in

693
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: the song. I thought it was cool, But I ain't

694
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: got nothing with that dish and stuff, because I guess

695
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: Drake means a lot to the culture. I mean, savagees

696
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: work with him, You've worked with him. I'm trying to

697
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: think who else has worked with Drake that I know

698
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: if off the top of my head, but it's been

699
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: about five that Atlanta rappers. I mean, Drake is huge

700
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: with Atlanta culture.

701
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: God love it.

702
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's it's it's not even that. It's

703
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 4: just like when people ask me how I felt about

704
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 4: my name, It's like.

705
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did you what?

706
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 4: What what do you want me to I don't even

707
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 4: have an answer. I don't have zero feeling about it.

708
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: I have zero emotion on it.

709
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 3: I have zero because this is.

710
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 4: What happens, right, this is, this is, this is exactly

711
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 4: what happened. If he say your name, you you you you,

712
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: you feel a certain way. If he don't say your name,

713
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna feel a certain right. You know how many

714
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 4: people from Atlanta he could have said, okay, and and

715
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 4: and this vice versa. So while I'm gonn get into

716
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 4: a thing of man I'm glad or man I wish

717
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 4: he wondered, like it really, really, I really have zero,

718
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 4: zero zero emotion about my name, I said, if you

719
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: really want to know, people have probably said two chains

720
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 4: in their rap.

721
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess it just rhymes with a

722
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: couple of different things, you know, a few a few times.

723
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 3: I hear it a lot, you know what I mean?

724
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: So it don't it don't bother me, man, I ain't

725
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: getting caught up in how about this where you gonna

726
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: go writing? I've never had it? Had it goes right?

727
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: Are you out on it? You just never have it?

728
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: Or you don't feel that, okay if you are.

729
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: Because I hear a lot of people say if you're

730
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: a true mc LLL say here a true mc. This

731
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: one says they're true EMCs, true mcs right their own verses.

732
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: So I've thought about this a couple of times because

733
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 4: when I think about Michael Jackson and Beyonce, who've all

734
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 4: had writers right and hit hits off these writers, and

735
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: then here I am my stuff every night. Who's doing

736
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 4: it the right way?

737
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't have an answer for that,

738
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 3: so I can't as bad as I want to be.

739
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 4: Like man, my confidence lies with me knowing that no

740
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 4: one helped me articulate this idea or get this metaphor.

741
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 3: Hour like I came up with these words.

742
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: But at the same time, my pride hadn't let me

743
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 4: accept the song from somebody and read I won't even

744
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: do if somebody has a hook and they say I

745
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 4: would like for you to read if I didn't come

746
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 4: up with the hook, I don't even say it.

747
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, somebody said, man, I won't you say damn, damn,

748
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 3: I ain't. I'm sorry, brother, Like I'm sorry, it ain't me.

749
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 3: You know, it's got to be you.

750
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, because somebody like they'll think they'll hear me saying

751
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 4: something like this, but I'm just I'm gonna do it.

752
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, everything has very much been me. But like

753
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: I say, I don't know if that's the right or

754
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 4: the wrong way, because I mean, I'm here that's just

755
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 4: not your way.

756
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, But this is just how I been operate, you

757
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.

758
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 4: But when I really sit back and think so many

759
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: people has had writers help them get over some other place,

760
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 4: you know. And but I can honestly look in the mirror,

761
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 4: and that's one of the things. I could look at

762
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 4: the mirror and kind of be a priest above too, Like, man,

763
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 4: every everything that y'all heard in the universe has been

764
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 4: from from from me?

765
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 3: Internal line. Would you ghost write for an artist? I would, Yeah,

766
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 3: I have before? Who have you? Yeah? Sampling. I love sampling,

00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:34,600

00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: sample stuff like I don't know, you might've heard as

774
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 4: a kid or whatever, and they've been able to chop

775
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 4: that up and then add some to it. I like samples.

776
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 4: Original originality is dope too. If you can make a

777
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 4: beat from scratch, I rock with that. But I like samples.

778
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 5: If somebody were to sample one of yours, do they

779
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 5: do they do?

780
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: They need to play you the song or you like, hey,

781
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: they call you off, they change I want to sample there,

782
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, it's gonna cast you x Y

783
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: and z or do you need to hear the song

784
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: before you like.

785
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm always hit the song. I'm always hit a song.

786
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: You don't want nobody puting no boobo on your track.

787
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 4: But even if they put booboo, I don't want to.

788
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: I want to hear a song. I want to be

789
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 4: affiliated with nothing. You know, crazy, right, But if the

790
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 4: song is booboo, I still make clear because I know

791
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 4: what it's like for my song not to be clear.

792
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: I know what that feeling like.

793
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 4: So I figure out a way for it to make

794
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 4: sense for me a long as it's not a huge

795
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 4: interpolation of what I did. If it's something small, whatever,

796
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 4: I ain't really tripping on that because it's just a

797
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 4: way to you know, kind of you know, kind of

798
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 4: keep keep.

799
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 3: My algorithm going back. Doylar Creative recently showed you some love.

800
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: Are people slipping on your peeing change? Yeah? But that's

801
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 3: cool though. I mean Tyler's though too. Yeah.

802
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 4: I just took to my daughters to see his concert

803
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 4: and he gave mission shout out while he was on stage,

804
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 4: and that was that was cool?

805
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 3: You know today is it's dope for people who have

806
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: that kind of impact right till.

807
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 4: You know throw some shine on something as opposed to shade, right,

808
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 4: And so when he did that, I looked at this

809
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 4: as he was, you know, throwing some shine on something.

810
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: Welcome home, Shake Man, Welcome home Claire.

811
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: I switched whips in the am, picked up the bagel

812
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: with the cream cheese. When I played, I didn't get

813
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: an opportunity to really enjoy it because I was so

814
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: caught up in the journey. I wasn't really concerned with

815
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: the destination. And then once I ride to the destination,

816
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: which was when I completed my career, now I get.

817
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 3: Back like man, I did that. I had a great

818
00:37:59,360 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: blah blah blah.

819
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: Do you have an opportunity do you sit back and

820
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: just think about what you have accomplished in your young career?

821
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 4: No, I think that's one of the that's something that

822
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 4: I think I started feeling a little late in my career.

823
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 4: I didn't become really successful till I was in my thirties.

824
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 4: And then I think by taking me so long to

825
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 4: become successful, I didn't want to celebate break too much.

826
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 3: I didn't want to go on vacation. I didn't want to,

827
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: you know, take the time to.

828
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 4: Like reflect, look back or even judge why I was

829
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 4: currently and so now as I started to get older

830
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 4: and understand, you know, how life works and how the

831
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 4: universe works, I really wish I would have spent more

832
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 4: time in that in those places like and not just

833
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: like figuratively speak, and I'm talking about internalizing what I

834
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 4: was doing at the time, you know. But I'm still

835
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 4: here and confident that I can make some more waves

836
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 4: and experiences along my journey.

837
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 1: We're here in candy Land for your forty sixth birthday.

838
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: You bought yourself a strip club. Of all the birthday

839
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: for others, you could have gifted yourself, why an adult entertainments?

840
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 3: I mean, why not?

841
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 4: You know, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

842
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 4: How this whole thing came about, it was just God involved,

843
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. Anybody from Atlanta would be

844
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 4: interested in having something to do with a strip club

845
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 4: because it's a major fixture in the city.

846
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: Correct.

847
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 4: But you're not able to open up any strip clubs

848
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 4: unless you have a dance and permit, which they stopped

849
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 4: even your issue on them in ninety three. Wow, So

850
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 4: you would have to actually buy one from someone who

851
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 4: has one, or get grandfather then, and so.

852
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 3: I was able.

853
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 4: My partner was already in the midst and in a

854
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 4: situation to where he was starting that process, and God

855
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 4: just put me in the picture at the right time,

856
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 4: at the right place, at the right time, like me

857
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 4: and you discuss them, and so that's what happened. I

858
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 4: ended up being at the right place at the right time.

859
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 4: I didn't put all my eggs in the basket. I

860
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 4: put a lot of them in the basket for this one.

861
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 4: And I just feel like it's one of those things.

862
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: Is it's going to be around. You know, we have food,

863
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 4: it's entertainment, and you know I tell the dancers that

864
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 4: that you are entertainers, you know what I'm saying. So

865
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: you have a fan base as well. You know, it's

866
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 4: always cool to try to you know what I'm saying,

867
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 4: spread some game. Yeah, here we go, we.

868
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 3: Show people the food. You man so greedy. Look at this.

869
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: Like these seemed like like hot, like hot, These seem

870
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: like lemon pepper, these seem like barb I don't know

871
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: what else. A little look like the mesquite yeah stuff,

872
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, but I'm oh, we got fries over here.

873
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: You know, I love them. Sure you'll y'all see this.

874
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 4: And since Shane is doing such a great job and

875
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: promoting my product, let's not forget my brother got his

876
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 4: own yack, he just won award. He told me about gold,

877
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 4: got gold medal or something. So you know, I don't

878
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 4: even let me tell you something. Don't even worry about

879
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 4: what I don't do. I'm finna go here with it.

880
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go ahead with it. I'ma go ahead with it.

881
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 3: Let me try. What do you do? You don't drink,

882
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 3: you swirl around, you swirl around. Then what we'll call it?

883
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 3: Nosing it? Nosing it? Yes, now that I've done that

884
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 3: with red wine before, well does this let it breathe

885
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: more so? Yeah, this stuff in barrels. Yeah.

886
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: In order for it to be a Kangynak, it has

887
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: to originate in the region for at least two years.

888
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: So it has to grow up in the Cognac region.

889
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 3: Great.

890
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: This is an Uni blanc mixture with a petite champagne.

891
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: Each region in Kanyac had a particular type of grape.

892
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: And according to how you want your contract Kanyac to

893
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: taste you that kind of great, And so this is

894
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: a Uni blanc grape, a very proper. Probably I think

895
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: maybe seventy percent of the grace that's in that region

896
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: is a uni bloc great with a petite champagne. This

897
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: is a bsop, very special, old pale bsop has to

898
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: be aged between four and six years. Wow, and then

899
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: as you're gone up and you know, so forth and song.

900
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: So we think we've done a great job. Lapotier is

901
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: my grandmother's porter in French. Shae my name and so

902
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: shaved by Lapotier.

903
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: So how long have you had this kanyac? We came out,

904
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 3: We tried to come out in two thousands.

905
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: Then the pandemic happened. And it's funny is that this

906
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: bottle wasn't the original bottle. We had a bottle using

907
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: a company Italy, and they go back during the pandemic,

908
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: so we had to scratch that. Now we weren't able

909
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: to come out in twenty twenty, so now we had

910
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: to push it back to twenty twenty one. So now

911
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: they're sending me products all through the mail. I'm sampling,

912
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm tasting. I'm like, okay, I like this, and my

913
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: partners and I like, what are we going for? We

914
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: want something to taste. Good people are gonna buy it.

915
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, that's the end goal. But we want

916
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: to produce an award winning kanyak. And now we won

917
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: fourteen awards. We won the Simple Award, which is the

918
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: highest award you can win because it's a blind taste test,

919
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: and again we want another taste test today.

920
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 3: The only kanyak that won.

921
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 4: So without even starting to process, your partner in this

922
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 4: knew that the end goal was award.

923
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I guess he said, everything else will fall, everything else,

924
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: everything else.

925
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: If you can get award, everybody. Yeah, yes.

926
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 5: And it's a vsop that drinks like an XO X

927
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 5: it's extra old XXO.

928
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 3: It's extra extra old.

929
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: And then you start getting into the specialty Kanye actually

930
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: stuff that's barrowed twenty five, you know, fifty years as

931
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, that we went over there this

932
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: past June and June the twenty four and a guy

933
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: had kgnact that was in a barrel that was pre

934
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: Civil war.

935
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: He let us taste it.

936
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, they keep I mean, because everything is it has

937
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: to go through the process. It has to be because

938
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: our cognact is very unique. We don't add color, we

939
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: don't ask sugar. It's this how is how it comes

940
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,479
Speaker 1: out of barrel. This is how it comes out of barrow.

941
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 1: We're a small batch. We can control it. You see

942
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: your mom cooking for ten people, it's gonna taste different

943
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: than she's cooking for a thousand people. So when you

944
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: try to cook something, so now we can control the taste.

945
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: That's why you get the consistency. And that's when you

946
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: become great at something where you're consistent at it. Yeah,

947
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: so congratulations on everything you've You've been very consistent.

948
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 3: Thank you, brother, appreciate it. Thank you.

949
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: That's a good Kannyac there. I promise you nobody's gonna

950
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: beat us on the market. We don't talk about anybody else.

951
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: We just tell you what we do, and what we

952
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: do we do very well.

953
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you know we gotta get it in candy.

954
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 3: We gotta get it in your step.

955
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah easy. See that's easy. You when you own something,

956
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 4: it's like it's easy. I can really make that happen

957
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 4: right now. If you had a case something, Oh, we

958
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 4: get that. So this is Kanyak. This is Kanyac.

959
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 1: See it has to originate because see, you like wines

960
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: can start anywhere. You can have wine from California you

961
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: can have an organ. They can be all over the place,

962
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: but they call it the Kanyak. It has to originate

963
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: the first two years in that region in Kanyac. It

964
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: has to brew, go through the copper pot. It has

965
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: to be stored in the wooden barrels. Yes, the vsop.

966
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: In order for you to call it a vsop, it

967
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: got to be four to six year four to six

968
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: years of age, just setting up in a barrel, sitting

969
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: there marinateing.

970
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 3: Does that make get stronger?

971
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: Well, it's the process in which it goes through. Because

972
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, you have the grape, you have a certain amount,

973
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: and it's a blend because as you like, we got

974
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: another one coming out that's a that's a premium, that's

975
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: a step above this.

976
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 3: And as you.

977
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: Start to blend, it gets more and more expensive because

978
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: you're blending older and older cognacs to try to get

979
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: the space the blend that you particularly want. So you

980
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: might be blending something that was, you know, say ten

981
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 1: years old, with something that's fifteen years old. There's something

982
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: that's twenty years old, and you're trying to do x amount.

983
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: But like, because we're a small batch, we do really

984
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: really well. We've done really well. People have been very

985
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: receptive when they taste it, they know there's a lot

986
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: of love, there's a lot of care, there's a lot

987
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: of support that's going in.

988
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 3: You can hear that when you describe it. Honestly, I'm

989
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 3: not still a big Kanye drinking. But it was smooth.

990
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 3: It was smooth, and you know, the trend is whatever

991
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 3: it is right now? More shot. I was supposed to

992
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 3: sip it or take a shot of it, just a

993
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 3: little sip of it. Yeah. Now, if I was to

994
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 3: add a drop of water, it'll open up the body.

995
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: You're supposed to actually d drop a drop of water,

996
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: not an ice cue, because the ice cue, you can't

997
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: control the milk. Because of the ice cue, melt is

998
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: more than what you intended to get in there. So

999
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 1: what a drop You get to control how much water

1000
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 1: actually goes in and it opens up the body.

1001
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 3: What about a juice would do?

1002
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 4: Would you?

1003
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, well do it? Here's the thing. Would you

1004
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 3: drink juice with your Kanye? No?

1005
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: I Now, and over there they drink ginger ale. They

1006
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: mix it with ginger ale. That was the big thing

1007
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: over there that I didn't know Kanyak and ginger Al. Yes,

1008
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: but it makes a great sidecar. We have drinks like determination, discipline, determined,

1009
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: dedication or things that a factor that are that are

1010
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: really important to me and how I kind of got

1011
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: to where I got. We have drinks. We have a

1012
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: mixed sologist in the house, mixedologists, and his job is

1013
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: to come up with drink with specialty drinks, not just

1014
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: to Kanye. Now you can drink it by itself because

1015
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: a lot of times people they do mixed drink, they

1016
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: try to hide it cause you ain't your your your thing.

1017
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: Ain't that good? Okay? We really good?

1023
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: already know what it is. Yeah, they don't like that.

1024
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 3: And the real shit, we know, we know what this is,

1025
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 3: so we st we staying behind that. So let me

1026
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:22,160
