Why do you believe in wrestling? 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.840 It's not a believe um, It's it's like it's like 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.440 improv like you know, you ever like see like whose 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.600 line is it? Anyways? And stuff like that, Like they're 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.560 thinking on their toes. So you know when you watch 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.960 a match, like they call in the spots they like, 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.520 you know, they might be like you know, elbow or 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.840 like or like like they it's like an all sequence 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.200 and they botch. They mess up all the time. And yeah, 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.280 and and and you gotta think on your toes what 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.560 I'm saying, Like in any art form that you have 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.119 to be on your toes. I'm a fan of and like, 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.560 you know, a piece of it is just like escape 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.880 from like reality. This not hip hop, Like just get 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.359 a lot of similarity some rappers. Yeah, you know what 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:14.239 I'm saying, something like the like the wahala that comes 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.880 with uh like hip hop. You know what I'm saying. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.959 But I'm a fan. You know obviously when I was 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.040 a child, I was a fan of it, like just 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.200 like believing in it. But like when you get older, 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.600 like I'm a fan of the business and how it's run, 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.240 How you have an episodic television show that's that never ends, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.000 you know what I'm saying, Like they don't have reruns, 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.560 they don't have all seasons. Those athletes are in there 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.840 every you know, and they do house shows, you know 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.560 what I'm saying. And the storytelling, I think it's just 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.360 amazing in it. You know what I'm saying. That's something 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.000 that I could see myself doing as far as like 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.520 writing and being a part of the creative item is 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.840 like storytelling absolutely fell down the second episode. Let's get 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.200 back to the wrestle. What did you think about when 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.520 you've seen Snoop wrestle with think that I was like, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.240 you know what I'm saying, That's one of the things 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.600 where I wish I was in the creative room. I'm like, yo, 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.200 I like to Snoop and the whole hook and having 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.760 a moment thing, but like Snoop throwing a guy over 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.880 the thing, like come on, like up on the giant. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.240 I mean if Floyd, if Floyd hit him flushing the 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.640 chin though, you know, like that's still drop him. You 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.080 can still drop him though. But like Snoop, that's like 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.560 he was like Snoop is all of one hundred and 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.680 forty pounds. You know what I'm saying, love dog to death. 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.000 Dog gonna make that phone call on you. He could 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.800 have done that, But I don't know my dog through 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.920 and over a two hundred and fifty pound man over 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.000 the rope like that. But you know, it's all in 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:36.800 good fun and you got a lot of love vessel Be. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.640 You even name dropped him on the album album About Nothing. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.359 I mean, that's a staple, that's a cornerstone, Like it's um. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.279 It's like your first initial, like testament um, and it's 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.719 like it's like your coronation to the game. You know. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.320 I remember a lot of people first so OB show. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.080 I remember, like, you know, like when it was like 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.640 all of us young artists like those Meds, Wiz Drake 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.800 and all of us, Like I remember everybody coming to 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.280 my SOB show like and it was a big deal. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.200 Like it was kind of the test run to see 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.320 like how my show was going to be outside of DC, 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.240 you know what I'm saying. So it's definitely, you know, 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.160 a part of our history. You know, it's a part 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.720 of our culture. And you know, I'm just fortunate enough 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.760 to be back in that jone like seven years later, 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.880 crushing that jone, Like even though it's a small venue, 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.320 is the energy there was unlike no other would you 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.560 say you And I was asking about the album and 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.960 how it's like episodes with Seinfeld and I saw the 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.200 skits that you've been putting up with him in the 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.200 studio with you and talking about things like matrimony and 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.320 roller coasters and all of that. So what is it 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.520 supposed to be like different episodes. Yeah, Well essentially it's 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.000 a it's a it's like he plays my conscious, you 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.360 know what I'm saying, Like you know, like this guy 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.480 like he's he's plays my conscious in real life of times, 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.000 like as far as like like I get an opinion 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.840 and it's something that I would choose to follow or 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.440 like I have to assess myself or like a chin chat, 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.480 you know what I'm saying at times like you know, 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.440 you got a record like The Middle Finger for instance, 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.080 and Jerry's like, yo, no, people want to talk, like 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.839 let them talk, like you know what I'm saying and 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.640 exactly and it and it's like a template, uh that 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.000 like like a method of development. You know when you 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.280 when you're in school, you learn how to write like 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.760 a thesis and you have a method of development, and 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.800 like that's how I was writing my records, Like I 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.880 was letting it be like a template of where I'm 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.360 gonna go and how I'm gonna break down a record 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.560 and I just found my found it found it challenging 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.240 as a writer to execute. But you know, the challenge, 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.480 the bigger the challenge, the bigger the reward. Let's talk 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.159 about that middle Finger record because that's one of my 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.200 favorite records off the album. What was the convo you 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.799 and Signfit what happened? Because he does say he encouraged 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.000 you to let people talk because they don't believe half 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.000 of what they say. You don't let people talk. No, 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.719 I don't know I done it at all, but um, 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.400 I just you know, when when me and Jerry get 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:56.919 in the studio, we just kind of just let it, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.040 let it flow. We don't rush it. We don't rush it, 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.800 we don't force it. Like he said so much stuff. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.880 I could make two more albums off of what the 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.400 stuff we talked about if I wanted to. Like so 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.239 it was all like perfect, It was all just laid 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.960 right out there, and you know it just you know, 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.440 we go in the studio. We just got Mike's everywhere 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.560 and like we just talked like you know, he have 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.960 his coffee, you know, I go outside. You know what 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.200 I'm saying you let Hi hit a wrinker beforehand, like 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.600 y'all got this brink, I let him. I want it's 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.800 done when it's done. Like you said, you go outside, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.040 so you smoke a climbentary when you come back in 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:30.960 it and you're smelling like smoke. What does he say? 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.120 Bubbly time? Like we when when when the liquor start 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.880 coming around like bubbly time And that's when it starts 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.960 to get loose in the studio and we you know, 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.880 but he don't got no problem with that obviously. I'm 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:50.040 sure Jerry from y'all, he don't want nothing out have 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.040 been like, dang man, you've trying to fronounce me bron 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.800 like but he whatnot? Like like the crazy thing is 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.120 like you I'm a young black dude from DC, Like 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.160 I'm not supposed to be clearing NBC like that. And 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.120 that's what we cleared it. Like Jerry was like, yo, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:09.720 make sure he's good on anything. So wow, you do 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.640 it was the album could have been out like four 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.320 months ago, but you know, claring it was a you know, 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.360 was a challenge, but I'm you know, it got done 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.080 and that that that's one of the things that's unprecedented 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.720 and I and I want like hip hop to feel 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.800 pride in that, like knowing that we did that. Like 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:31.160 they're they're bidding for the for the to own the 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.960 rights to sign feel right now and it's like millions 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.560 of dollars on the table and I just come in 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:40.640 there and use whatever I want. It's a lot of 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.800 money out there on that on that show. And for 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.280 like a young hip hop dude to be able to 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.960 use the show to in in you know, in an 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.000 artistic way like that says a lot about where we 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:52.800 add as a as a culture. And it's what I 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.160 understand about you. Like you know, you'll say things like 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.600 you don't get to respect you deserve. Well, who can 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.480 get signed filed to narrate the album?

That was I mean, that was 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.640 with him every day, like you know what I'm saying. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.760 You know, um carcident and I mean he had a 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.880 he had a he had his firstborn and he passed 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.880 away the day after damn yeah. And it was I 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.120 mean I remember, like yesterday I was in Um. I 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.400 was staying at the Inner Curtinental, and me and all 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.320 my cousins, you know, we was all gathered around like 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.679 we was just no drinking in the hotel. Like man, 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.040 we gotta grow up. Man, like you know what, had 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.880 his kids, like we gotta keep the we gotta keep 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.640 the kids.

But as far as my miscourage, like, 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.280 it's different when you know, I'm sure I'm sure y'all 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.840 slipped a couple of paths of Goldie or sometimes I'm 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.480 sure y'all you know, I don't know.

Okay, yeah, 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.800 so when we did that, Like when that happened, you know, 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.000 it was like you know, because you go from like 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.520 having to tell your parents about it, and you know, 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.400 everybody like you got like the proper you know, channels 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.840 or whatever, and then you know names all that other 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.400 stuff and like, okay, where I'm gonna move too, because 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.640 I'm not trying to be one of them, like you 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.400 know what I'm saying, so like yeah, absolutely, And then 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.200 it's just like immediately you know what I'm saying.

I learned that or 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.320 early in the game. See, you know, can't do that. 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.840 You can't do the label makes time and now it 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:31.320 looks bad, it makes the ast. What I'm trying to say, 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.080 I I you guys have and I'm not trying to 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:35.920 like ride your jockeing on like that, but like let's 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.200 call a space place. You guys are the coveted morning show. 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.520 But y'all earn that you put it together. You you 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.040 earned You earned that from working with Wendy. You earned 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:46.680 that from putting it works from you. I was having 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:48.760 your mixtapes when I was in high school. You you 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.320 earned that doing a serious radio and all that. And 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.480 when y'all came together. It's everybody wants to do this joint. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:59.439 Like there are people that are essentially starting rappers for 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:03.200 or or entertainers for their their time. There their rub 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.320 Like in the wrestling world they call it a rub 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.520 when you get somebody from another and like so like 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.320 they're there are people like yoh, like if I don't 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.120 get this, then we're gonna badmouth you. We're gonna we're 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:15.919 gonna you know what I'm saying, And that's not it 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.600 should be like a mutual respect thing. Like I mean, 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.160 I was up last night to like six in the morning. 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.960 I was I'm excited to come here because y'all earn 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.199 that like like you know what I'm saying, Like it's 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.440 that's how it should be. And that's what I feel 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:33.800 like this whole wave of album about Nothing represents, like 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:38.400 it's like power back into the consumer, the people, the fans, 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.920 you know, And that's what j Cole represents. That's what 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.840 Drake dropping that secret album out of the blue, Like 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.000 that's what that represents, putting the power back into the people, 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.280 putting the power and like I will never forget this. Man. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.600 I might even told y'all this story before we was 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.360 in Australia doing a little over a tour and Q 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.120 Tip we was on a bus. It was like fire 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:01.560 side Q Tip and uh like all these like um 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.600 like groups from like the nineties and stuff like that, 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.680 and um, I was just peeping game and it was 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.440 just schooling me and stuff and and q Tips said 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.480 dog and the nineties. All we had was the source 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.119 double XL in our album, our work. That's all we 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.560 had to deal with. Now, it's so many things in 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:25.240 avenues and so many things. People use this leverage to 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.679 to show you or to to act like you not 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.320 as important or you know, the gatekeepers like you know 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:34.360 what I'm saying, And that's unfortunate because it dilutes the 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.840 the media, dilutes media as a whole. Do you feel 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.920 like it's classism and hip hop? Because I was talking 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:40.719 to Big Sean, I said, I feel like it's tears, 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.040 like you have Kendricks, j Coles Drakes and it's the 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.360 second tier. It's like you Sean me, Well, I mean, 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.640 I think I think in some regard, I think really 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:54.000 it's just too though it's like awesome love of hip 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:58.760 hop and I don't I don't. I don't say that 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.880 as like a, you know, like that's an entertaining show, 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.080 but it's it's about as real as Empire. Empire. I 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.560 might even have an edge up one as far as like, 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.800 you know, as far as delusional people right here, like 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:14.720 I don't like I saw Virgie Dollars saying get to 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.879 get Somebody twelfth single, I call him by dollars and 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:24.840 gay yea, yeah, well okay, I love that exactly. Susan 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:27.439 features that joint and you can talk about it if 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.119 you watch it and you feel bad that you watch it. 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:34.520 Oh you've been listening to a Yeah, you go listen 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:37.959 to it all about yourself? Are you saying because I'm 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:45.000 a woman? Yes, absolutely no, but um not, but I 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:48.760 really rock with Empire. I think, um, the successive Empire 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:54.639 is directly the hour, our society or our our world, 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:59.720 our cultures, affinity for the music industry. There's an outright 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.720 like we can make another Empire and it'll be as 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.560 success like you know what I'm saying, Like because people 0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:08.719 want to know the underworkings of the music industry, right, 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.560 people want to know, like even if it's like kind 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:18.320 of ridiculous, I'm not gay battle rap, like you really 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:22.720 just battle wrapped and said you sung about your sexual 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.760 orientation and that was your unrealistic that would never happen 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:32.000 in real life, and what you don you imagine three 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:45.199 dollars versions like somebody like yes, talented dough man, it 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:49.960 was mighty that it was a mighty directly, but um, 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:53.320 yeah that was. But it's it's ridiculous enough to be 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.640 like talked about in the morning, Like you know, when 0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.280 I was in middle school, like we had New York undercover. 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:01.879 That was our joint, like like it was mart and 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.159 the New York NNA travel and we talk about that. 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:07.320 So like now everybody, I'm sure the watercol like cooler 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:12.560 talk is an empire, and it's it's ridiculous, but it's 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:17.320 very entertaining and the storylines are a little bit overly done, 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.560 but again it's very very entertaining. That's what you mean 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:21.600 when you say it's tids, it's it's the hip hop 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.400 guys who actually got talent. And then I wouldn't even 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:27.320 say talent because I'm sure they said that the girl 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:30.440 from plays like a lot of instruments. Yeah, and I'm 0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:32.600 not trying to like like there's an indictment on her, 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:36.000 but like I'm sure there's a like there's producers there 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:40.520 that play off the delusions and dreams of some of 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.320 these people on the show, and that right there is 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.600 sick to me. I think, you know what I'm saying, Um, 0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:51.520 I think there's a lot of like dangling, like you know, 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.080 you could be famous if you do this, Like you 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.480 know what I'm saying, Like some of that stuff is 0:23:56.520 --> 0:24:01.159 like fringeworthy, like like the diamond strawberry I was. I 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.879 was like, yo, is this like didn't really leave her 0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:06.400 daughter at home? No, but like she was like, yeah, 0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:08.600 I just come to the club to say to say 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:12.440 hello while they really watches this show. Bro.

I come here tell you guys 0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:37.320 working problems. I'm noticing that, like when you ask the 0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.480 question that guy on that record, he asked the question, 0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.920 who am I to change perception? It's all on you, 0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:46.200 But he changed this perception. People are like it while now, 0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:48.520 which is good. I'm a good guy.

Well, let's talk about the Nigerian music that 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:31.680 you I just heard one song that you did. Is 0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:35.760 it a whole project that you're gonna do or what's happened? Um? Well, 0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:40.360 I have a lot of you know, uh like peers 0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.040 that that that are you know, successful artists in that 0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.400 that arena, and that's something that I definitely want to 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.120 experiment with and I definitely want to represent and be 0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:51.240 a part of. So like I could definitely see myself 0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:54.280 doing that. Um. But you know, at the same time, 0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:56.000 I definitely want to do a go Go album. That's 0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:58.640 that's that's probably like my next thing that I want 0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:03.680 to do. And essentially I want to find, like I 0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:06.360 want to put together a band. Um. I want to 0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:09.040 get maybe somebody from New York, a couple of kids 0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:10.720 from DC. I wanted to. I want to have like 0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:13.880 my ANRDP project whereas like I don't have to put 0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:17.600 as much pressure on myself musically, and I got people 0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:20.000 to work with as far as creating the sounds and 0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:23.160 stuff like that and providing like that sound to the 0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:26.200 world to be able to usher in that sound. Because 0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:30.880 gos is a dying art it's not it's not what 0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:32.960 it used to be at all. I was gonna ask you, 0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:34.680 I was gonna say, you know, with with it dying 0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:37.800 so bad, do you still incorporate that with all your 0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:39.400 should because if you don't know what go Go Go music 0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:42.200 is it it's big in DC, Maryland, Virginia. It's more 0:30:42.240 --> 0:30:45.040 of how how would you describe it? Like calling response? Um, 0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:49.000 it's very rich and like percussion and uh, it's really 0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:52.160 like nothing like like no other like you know, um, 0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:56.280 and it's kind of like saying what his orange looked 0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:58.120 like to a blind person, Like you gotta kind of 0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:02.120 be there to have a lot of influence. And the 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:06.080 thing is people don't even know. Uh, they try to 0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:08.200 tell me what's go go? It's not like yo, why 0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:09.440 don't you have to go go? On your last stif 0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:11.760 I'm like Clappers was gog you know what I'm saying, 0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:13.880 or bait they didn't know bait was go go. You 0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:15.960 know what I'm saying. It's just bounce beat that go 0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:20.240 go is evolved and into bounce beat and other subgenres 0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:24.040 within that that genre. So, um, there's definitely something that 0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:27.560 I want to do. And you know, like my you know, 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:29.040 my hat goes off to like a lot of the 0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:31.719 DJ's like even like yourself, like you that put together 0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:36.360 records that can do a compilation of you know, you're 0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:40.400 organizing this guy on that record or two guys that 0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:42.040 you think would sound dope like, but I still do 0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:43.840 go sets. The problem is it is like, you know, 0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:47.880 there's nothing new. I'm not familiar with new stuff. Playing 0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:50.000 the oldest stuff you say, you like right there in 0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:54.600 the early nineties, late eighties, like it ain't really nothing. 0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:58.040 So I want to find a way to revolutionize that. 0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:00.440 And also like you know, trying to get some of 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.560 these guys and some money, Like you know what I'm saying, 0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:05.440 Like some of the guys that that that's Pioneer and 0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:08.320 you know, go Go, they've been touring the same small 0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:11.600 earlier for twenty years, you know what I'm saying. So 0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:14.480 I just want to That's it means a lot to 0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:16.719 me to be able to execute something like that for 0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:19.360 the for the town. Let's gets for a second. You 0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:22.640 always say white rappers get better opportunities than black rappers? 0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:27.520 Is really that simple? Yeah? No, that's I mean, like 0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:29.360 you know, every time I mentioned this, I get like 0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:32.760 they come from my head, but like like it's just 0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:39.400 it is what it is, Like Iggyzel yah, yeah, she 0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:43.120 she gonna get more opportunities than training they get. They 0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:46.440 got the same, They rapped the same. I mean, I 0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:50.000 don't know where you get that that that voice from Australia, 0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:53.160 but that's next hearing or there. They have the same, 0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:59.880 you know, Tren it may being sold to a little bit, 0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:02.360 why is it at its probably no, I'm just saying 0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:08.880 obviously Iggy obviously, Iggy obviously was directly influenced by like 0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:11.280 a Jackie Oo or like even a Ti Like you 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:14.560 know what I'm saying, But those opportunities, I'm sure Katie 0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:17.760 Perry is not knocking on Trainer's daughter to work, you 0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:20.280 know what I'm saying, And that's kind of weird to me. 0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:23.200 Like I just don't Katie didn't bring out Missy though, 0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:35.080 Stalgia j slow Cloud take this culture now, it's I mean, 0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:37.600 I just my thing is like I just I and 0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:39.840 I don't want to get all. I gotta dream. I 0:33:39.880 --> 0:33:42.440 gotta I have a dreaming on y'all. But like, I 0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:46.440 just really wish there was more equality in our in 0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:50.800 this sport, because you believe rap I don't want to 0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:53.560 dominate a black rabbit. Okay, this is what I'm gonna 0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:55.520 tell you right now, and I don't I know I'm 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:58.920 gonna get in trouble one. Please know my heart man 0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:08.600 talk Well, it's easy for you to say any more. Okay. 0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:10.960 All I'm trying to say is I am a big 0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:12.960 fan of Sam Smith. I'm a big fan of his. 0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:17.960 But that stay with Me record, right, had that been 0:34:18.000 --> 0:34:20.240 sung by a black person, it would not have reached 0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:24.160 top forty. It's not it's just not that's it's too slow. 0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:30.239 It's what you I mean that that's okay, look at 0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.760 look at the look at the shooting percentage Sand Smith. 0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:37.839 Anything he puts out the top forty immediately that's it 0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:40.520 doesn't top forty. They'll they'll, they'll tip, they'll give you 0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:43.799 all the reasons as to why a successful song in 0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:46.880 the urban area that can't cross over the top forty. 0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:51.160 But as soon as he makes a record, it's top forty. 0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:55.279 I'm saying, And to people that don't understand top forty 0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:58.280 is there's a direct correlation between top forty and iTunes. 0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:01.160 You know what I'm saying, Like or exposure, you know 0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:06.360 what I'm saying, Like the casual music fan that doesn't 0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:08.520 really that doesn't really go to blogs and it's then 0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:11.360 a third their access is top forty. That's all they know. 0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:14.600 That's household names. That's why I said white bitches barely 0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:17.120 known me. I've been grace. I am society, y'alli. You 0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:20.000 know what I'm saying, like, and that's that's too bad, 0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:22.040 Becky for not knowing who I LA. Is this your 0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:23.960 damn fault? You know what I'm saying. But at the 0:35:24.000 --> 0:35:28.600 same time, you guys guys like uh well, unfortunately R 0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:30.920 and B is dying, But like August, I've seen it 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:32.840 would have sung Stay with Me or have been an 0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:36.600 urban radio record period. No if fans and butts, there's 0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:40.080 no way that song was going And people call me crazy, 0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:44.160 But there's some songs that Sam Smith sounds identical to 0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:48.680 Tank I'm too, exactly like Tank, exactly like him, and 0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:50.800 I'm sure it's Tank would have sung some of them songs. 0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:54.200 They wouldn't have they wouldn't have reached that Audi Urban radio, 0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:57.480 I mean, urban radio has been great to me, like 0:35:57.520 --> 0:35:59.840 I and I and I probably wear the flag of 0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:02.640 like a guy with the most plays on urban radio 0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:04.800 two times in a row, you know what I'm saying. 0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:08.239 But at the same time, from a from a from 0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:11.600 a financial standpoint, you would You would obviously want that 0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:15.319 top forty success because that directly influences your income. Now, 0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.000 I can't speak, gonna ask me because I think he's 0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:19.960 actually talented. Me, he's very talented. But for the white rappers, 0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:21.759 who I don't feel are as talented as a lot 0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:23.399 of the black rappers, I think a lot of times 0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:25.719 they're just novelties. So I'm gonna ask you, would you 0:36:25.800 --> 0:36:28.759 rather have one year like Macaelmore? Are a ten year 0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:31.799 Malcolmore coming back coming, he coming back onto your ass. 0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:34.919 He probably got records with saying you know what I'm saying, 0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:37.880 and it's not. But at the same time, at the 0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:41.560 same time, if you want to talk about rapping, Royce 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:44.880 to five nine will smoke Malcolm Moore without question, and 0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:48.920 it's not And the Voice to five nine record will 0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:54.080 not surface top forty radio, no way, no how. But 0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.360 would you rather have that one year like Mcalmore or 0:36:56.440 --> 0:37:00.440 have a ten year career? As a respect, gonna have 0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:08.440 a ten year career longer than Ye's gonna because he 0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:12.439 don't have to write right, he doesn't have to like, Oh, 0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.319 let me just call Kendrick and say congratulates. Sorry I 0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:17.840 took your award down. Let me take it though, I 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:19.799 still got it. You know what I'm saying, like keep up, 0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:22.799 and then like again like we I don't want to 0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:25.680 like I'm walking the fine line of telling the truth 0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:29.040 and somebody saying I'm hating like I mean disclaimer. I 0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.200 enjoy Mlcamore's music. I was well aware of what he 0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:34.120 was doing before he blew up, and I think he 0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:36.719 founded Lane. He worked it and he and he did it, 0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:38.359 and at the end of the day, that's all any 0:37:38.360 --> 0:37:40.000 of us could want, you know what I'm saying. But 0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:44.279 at the same time, it's not the same. It's it's 0:37:44.920 --> 0:37:46.840 I don't want to sound like I'm like being like 0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:50.680 a revolutionary trying to be uep of Radio Wars and 0:37:50.960 --> 0:37:55.360 like that. But it's definitely a black and white situation 0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:58.520 at Toms, like you're doing a song with Lady Gaga 0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:01.360 was your way, But I was already experiment. I was 0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:04.000 already doing d M. I was you know, I dropped 0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:06.319 on the Justice, I did go go I did, you 0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:09.799 know what I'm saying, Like, I was already there trying 0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:13.160 to do things like crossover into path. I like music, 0:38:13.280 --> 0:38:16.080 I like I like, I like Christina Agiler sound like 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:18.520 a black girl. She sounded like I would love to 0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:22.040 work with her, you know what I'm saying. Or with 0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:24.239 Katie Perry sounding you know, she sounds like a white girl. 0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:25.840 I would love to work with her. You know what 0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:29.200 I'm saying, like like, but that's because I like music. 0:38:29.239 --> 0:38:32.480 I enjoyed the actual art of performing music, you know 0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:34.279 what I'm saying. No, that last I know you got 0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:36.000 to go labels trying to get you know, we know, 0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:41.520 we hear. What's up. You're a sneakerhead, huge, the biggest 0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:43.719 I would say influence when it comes to sneakers in 0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:47.680 this in this industry, where's your own sneaker? That's another 0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:50.239 thing like I would, I would the people want to 0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:52.960 wallet shoot from Nike? I mean you, I mean you 0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:55.360 should you? The people have broken so many sneakers and 0:38:55.440 --> 0:39:00.680 so many styles. When it comes to sneak Sam Smith's 0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:05.719 where he may not the air Sam Smith is coming out, 0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:09.960 for sure, Definitely that air Saint Smith is coming out. 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:14.680 You guess the colorway that Joe, But it's go ahead. 0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:19.040 The comments expressed by Charlemagne are not necessarily those while 0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:22.200 has the all offer the game as being bisexual all that. 0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:25.319 I'm all for equality and people. Now where the wile 0:39:25.480 --> 0:39:29.760 sneaker man? Do you know? It's something that we discussed, 0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:32.720 you know, like towards the end of my standard rock Nation, 0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:36.040 myself and og One and Hove, like we we try 0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:39.239 to kick that door down. Um, you know it's it's 0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:42.120 just uphill battle though. But I definitely be up to 0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:46.120 you know, designing, you know, shoes for other clothing lines. 0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.319 I got a couple of offers now to do some 0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:50.879 some one up some one offs. You know, it's something 0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:53.080 that I want to do. But it's something that I'm like, 0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:55.400 I'm I'm I'm about the culture man, Like I'm not 0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:57.359 really about the dollar when it comes to that. That's 0:39:57.360 --> 0:40:00.200 something that I enjoy, you know what I'm saying. Like 0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.920 and actually I liked them joining. I like them. I 0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:05.279 think it's a you know, I you know, when I 0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:07.000 when I went to Paris to work with him, I 0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:09.080 saw a lot of stuff he's working on, Like he 0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:12.160 has a look. He showed me like where he was 0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:15.080 getting this inspiration from him and it's like nineties. Um, 0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:16.680 I forgot the name of the group. I think the 0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:19.440 Youngsters or something like that, Like it was something he 0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:21.600 was like, and and I saw Claire because I saw 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:24.360 the look book and I saw you know, like you know, 0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:27.799 it's a the exaggerated like you know, you know yeah, 0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:30.520 And them dudes are like into like the silhouette of 0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:33.000 how the clothes fit on you and all that stuff, 0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:35.040 like they're doing the combat boots and all that. I'm 0:40:35.040 --> 0:40:37.080 more of a classic person, like give me a good phone, 0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:40.360 the good air Force one, the air Max, and I Gucci, 0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:45.360 but like I'm I'm I'm all for like the preservation 0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:49.160 of like the DJ and the sneaker, like those two 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:52.560 things are synonymous with hip hop, Like and me personally, 0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:54.720 I was creative at like Nike or something. I'm giving 0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:57.680 DJ's shoot deals the same way I'm giving athletes or 0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:02.360 rappers like that. Are you know, direct lead into the 0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:07.359 sneaker world. I mean obviously that's where it started on 0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:09.759 you know what I'm saying. But I just think, you know, 0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:13.920 like I saw with my own two eyes how much 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:17.560 money Rick Ross made Reebok. You know what I'm saying, Like, 0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:20.680 ain't no new less nowhere. God blessed him, but he didn't. 0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:22.880 He didn't make Reebok that much money. You know what 0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:26.880 I'm saying. And if not for a misinterpreted lyric or 0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.279 something like that, who knows where they reboke would have 0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.520 been right now, you know they would. It kind of 0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:34.800 killed the momentum. Now you recently revealed that you suffered 0:41:34.840 --> 0:41:37.080 from anxiety. Did you have that before the industry? Nope, 0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:40.840 damn Nope, not at all. I would. I would. I 0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.360 just freaking have a football game run for two hundred 0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:46.759 and fifty yards and the the the back after the 0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:50.680 game with all cheerleaders in the newspaper and all that 0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:53.600 and no problems. But you can see hip hop you 0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:55.239 could be like the football players were getting brilled in 0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:03.680 Oh Julie greenball top mask with Earth Bard Jay z 0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:08.239 Ari Bardy. No, but it comes from like and it's like, 0:42:08.719 --> 0:42:12.280 you know, the thing about it is like our people 0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:16.080 they look at like mental stuff as like a weakness, 0:42:16.560 --> 0:42:18.719 you know what I'm saying. Like and like, you know, 0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:21.560 I grew up with people that that have that have 0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:25.600 real like problems worse than me, because like I was, 0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:28.279 mindes was low compared to the people like I'm I 0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:31.200 was in juvenile the Titcher Center in sixth grade all 0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:34.200 the way until I graduated high school. So I grew 0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:36.440 up with. I literally grew up with people that have 0:42:36.640 --> 0:42:41.279 real issues, the group home kids to you know, young rapists, 0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:44.239 all type of wahala was going on when I was 0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:49.160 in school. You know what I'm saying. It was like 0:42:49.200 --> 0:42:51.799 I've been I've been there, I've seen it, I've seen 0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:55.400 what you know. Like so like now, like it's almost 0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:58.000 like God playing a little joke on me, Like I'm 0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:03.759 I'm I get uncomfortable sometimes in large groups, because this 0:43:03.800 --> 0:43:05.160 is how this is how I break it down. Like 0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:08.520 I go somewhere with my men, and it's like four 0:43:08.560 --> 0:43:12.000 of us. One one go to the bathroom, one go 0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:14.560 in the car to get something, and one step off 0:43:14.560 --> 0:43:17.200 the use the phone. I'm now saying about myself.
