00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: Whole life, you know what I'm saying.

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: So I just try to just trust in the process

36
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: and just just keep making songs.

37
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know the Quentin Miller like backstory because

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: obviously you don't do a lot of press, and you know,

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: when all that ship hit the fan, I understandably so

40
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: kind of just took a break from the spotlight. Where

41
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: does the story even begin?

42
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: What a the short version of it is, I'm a

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: homeschool kid from Metro Atlanta, not Metro Atlanta area.

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: Does not think you're from only she's from Atlanta.

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: But uh, at my church is this producer name sounds

00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,800

00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: Kenny Man. He brought me in the game and from

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: there he got signed the Tricky Stewart. Shouting legend, he

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: got signed the Tricky Stewart and so he brought me

54
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: over there. And so my first experience over there, I

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: was signed with them, and you know, the Dream used

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: to come through, used to come out and be like, Yo,

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: come out, check out my Ferrari man, check this out

58
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: man in front seat. Man, I want you to I

59
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: want you to feel what it's like. You know what

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

61
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 4: Shout out to dream Man. He was a big inspiration

62
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: for me.

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: But so, yeah, I was there and then they dropped

64
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: me m hm out of nowhere. I don't really think

65
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: in hindsight I have more clarity of what went on,

66
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: but either way, I was screwed.

67
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Who else was with him at that time with with

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Tricky Dream.

69
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: So when I when I signed with Tricky originally I remember.

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 4: And we were all in a van.

71
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: It was me, Frank Ocean who was Liney bro at

72
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: the time, uh, and a couple of other artists and

73
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: I was over there with Frank and them before Frank

74
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: you know, turned into Frank like and uh, you know,

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: that was that was an interesting time. I really that situation.

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: People only really know the Drake stuff. They don't know

77
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: about that situation. I you know, the Dream and Tricky

78
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: were on fire, you know, like they were the hottest,

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: and they looked like me, you.

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: Know, and I trusted him.

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: And when they dropped me for the stupid ass reason

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: that they dropped me, really just scored me over. But

83
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: they didn't drop my publishing. They just like I was

84
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: like a tagged animal. It was like they dropped me

85
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: but kept my publishing. That shit broke me. That ship,

86
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: That shit hurt.

87
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: So you said, in hindsight, you understand it more than that, Like,

88
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: so what what was doing?

89
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: I have an idea of what may have went on.

90
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: Obviously I can't you know, say for sure, but yeah,

91
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: that ship, that shit really fucked me up, man, and.

92
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 4: I thought it was over with from there, you know.

93
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: And so I'm like three years like just you know,

94
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: working Target, working publics, working all these places, and one

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: day I just I remember the crazy thing because I

96
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: met Boy Wonder through Tricky.

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: So I never would have met Boy Wonder if it.

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: Wasn't for that situation. So but I just I just

99
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: sent a random hell Mary text to boy Wonder and

100
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: the ship worked.

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: Shout out the boy Wonder, He's that's family, that's my guy.

102
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: So were you signed as an artist or was it

103
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: just writing?

104
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: I was signed as an artist, and you know, it

105
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: was just like, you know, we're not gonna do it

106
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: unless you do the posing. I don't really know what posting.

107
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm just like, this is the dream. He's on fire

108
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: for the fun. It's dream and tricky. Like I'm with them.

109
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: They brought me to Vegas. I watched the dream work

110
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: on Fancy. I watched it.

111
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, this is.

112
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: This what I'm supposed to want to be around, saying

113
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: like this is where I'm supposed to go, like I'm.

114
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: Going to was Frank and a similar deal as you

115
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: at that time.

116
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: I'm not too familiar with, you know, because we were

117
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: He was in California, I was in Atlanta. We would

118
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: just see each other when they would have these little

119
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: gatherings or anything. But you know, like I'm not familiar

120
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: with his deal butt.

121
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: You know, I don't really see them super clicked up either.

122
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: So what was being homeschooled and then transitioning to go

123
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: to Vegas with the Dream, Like, what does that feel like?

124
00:05:59,560 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: Man?

125
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: It was like I said, it was just like reassuring.

126
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: It was like, yeah, like you know the whole point

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: of me rapping when I was home schools because it

128
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: was just like, Okay, I'm not around people, but when

129
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: I get around people, they're gonna hit me rap and

130
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna be like, oh, you know what I'm saying.

131
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: So I just it was just affirmation, like yeah, like

132
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: this is this is what I'm supposed to do. Like now.

133
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: The only thing I was confusing is because it was.

134
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: An R and B camp.

135
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: It was all R and B pop, R and B pop.

136
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: I was the only one there that was rap, so

137
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: I didn't know what I was supposed to get from that.

138
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: I felt like I got an understanding of melody the Dream.

139
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: I learned a lot from just watching the Dream. He

140
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: has a freedom to his creative process that like, yeah,

141
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: shout out the Dream.

142
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: So you were you were straight RAPPI rap at that time,

00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,200

00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,359

00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: totally dep programmed my idea of these making the perfect

161
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,200

Speaker 2: going out and the city fucking with them and they're

164
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: just being young and being themselves, you know what I'm saying.

165
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: Just it just changed my direction. It just made me

00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: want to, you know, make some some saucy shit.

167
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,640

00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: to compete, you know, Like I went from thinking like damn,

179
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: it's over with and then I'm seeing that. So that

180
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: gave me a little bit of light, you know, but

181
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: it's still just you know, that was just something I

182
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: was doing on the side, you know. But that boy wondered, Hell, Mary.

183
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: What was the text yo.

184
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: That so many, so many great things have come after

185
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: the year.

186
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: We always started with a yo. Yeah it was a yeo,

187
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: And it was a hey, man, can I send you

188
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: some songs? I didn't even you know, I'm just like

00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: I just have songs, Like I just I just have song.

190
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: So that's such an interesting way to navigate, Like, Yo,

191
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: I just got songs.

192
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: That's all I had, man, It's all I ever had

193
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: my whole life is songs.

194
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 4: Just make songs and stuff happens.

195
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think zero point zero zero

196
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: one percent does yo? Can I send you some songs?

197
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: Ever?

198
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Work?

199
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: It never works? But I guess, you know, maybe he

200
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: liked what he heard when I had met him, you know,

201
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: in that one session. You know that that did come

202
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 2: from Tricky.

203
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: And I mean if Tricky and Dream admire your pen

204
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: most producers like, what's up with this kid, then let

205
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: me hear something.

206
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, man, it was it wasn't all bad,

207
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: but you know, I just I just didn't like how

208
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: like they just I really put my faith in in

209
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: hopes in them, you know what I'm saying. And I

210
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: was young, they know I ain knew what I was doing.

211
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 2: And then even when they anyway, we'll get to it.

212
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: It seems like that's always the part of the story

213
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: somewhere like young aspiring writers, artists, you know, coming in

214
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: this industry early, not really knowing the business and the

215
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: nuances of you know, how things go.

216
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: But like you said, brom Bro, the way I got dropped.

217
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: So I was with with our situation that I had

218
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: with Tricky. I guess he brought it over to Epic

219
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: And so now I'm signing the Epic even though I'm

220
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: not signed, like I'm not on the website and I

221
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: didn't meet nobody, and anyway, I'm in Atlanta. They just

222
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: let me record. I'm thinking he's just let me record

223
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: in the studio because he wants me to get better.

224
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, man, he really wants he really wants

225
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: me to he wants just to work for you. And

226
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: so I'm trying my hardest or whatever. So after like

227
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: several months of that, and then I go out to

228
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: LA and it was an A n R epic. He's

229
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: done now LA fired everybody before you know what I'm saying.

230
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: So but anyway, he was like ahead of an RS.

231
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: He brought me to this session. Long story short, it

232
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: was someone else's session, but I was working Mike will

233
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: and we were working on a song, like literally like

234
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: I got my phone out, like working on a song whatever,

235
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: and Bro came and brought me out. He was like, man,

236
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: I need to talk to you. I need to talk

237
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: to you. He was like, man, I just don't feel

238
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: like you're a star. Man, I just don't feel like

239
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: And then plus like you you know, even the dream, No,

240
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: this is the A and R that wasn't even with Tricky. Anyway,

241
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, can you like just let me do

242
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: my session? Can you leave? He was like, oh, so

243
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna kick the head of A and R's out

244
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: your session. And I'm like, well, he's.

245
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: Telling you he doesn't think you're a star in the middle.

246
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'm like, bro, I'm like, I'm just can

247
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: you go? So anyway, long story short, he hits in.

248
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: Here trying to become a star.

249
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: Shut the fuck up. Yeah. So then Tricky just hits me.

250
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: He's just like, yo, you're not red Zone, you're not epic,

251
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: You're not nothing. You going back? They sent my ship back.

252
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: They made me wait like three four weeks before I

253
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: could get my car back. That was fucked up, man, y'all. Man,

254
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: y'all don't know. I was young man. That hurt.

255
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: Man, that hurt.

256
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: But wait, they okay, so he came to your session

257
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: and who the head of a n R was an

258
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: epic at that time.

259
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: Like, you're not your name, but I know his name. Wait,

260
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: of course I remember his name. It wasn't shot, was it? Huh? No?

261
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 4: No?

262
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: Okay, God was shot? Was out of an R epic.

263
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: But that's just that's just such a all right, So

264
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 3: he didn't think you were a star. You're in the

265
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: middle of your session to interrupt your session to tell

266
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: you I don't think you're a star, and obviously you're

267
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: an artist. You say, yo, listen, I just want to

268
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: can you get out of my session? Let me just

269
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: focus on this.

270
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: Then he was offended asking to lead the session, right,

271
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,119
Speaker 2: and then you dropped after that some real like ego ship.

272
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: Man, And then you said Tricky called you after that.

273
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he called me. He called me during this because

274
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: dude that left and I'm in the session and he

275
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: Tricky calls me. Then I go out and he's like,

276
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 2: you ain't this, You ain't that. Now I gotta walk

277
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: back in the session. You know what I'm saying, Like,

278
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: come on man, that ship was crazy, bro, and they

279
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: thought was done and they thought I was going to

280
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 2: be done m so no.

281
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: Other context was like, yo, you're not.

282
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 4: They didn't think I was gonna be not because they

283
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 4: still have my publishing.

284
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: So did you have management at the time?

285
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: I did?

286
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: Who was your manager? If you don't mind me asking,

287
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't want to say, okay, that's fair. So now

288
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 3: they drop you from that situation epic even though you

289
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: say you wasn't on the website, you never met nobody

290
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: from epic.

291
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: Really, well, he met the head of a band R.

292
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 3: What ahead of band R you met? So after that,

293
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: where's Quentin Miller?

294
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: Now? So now I'm back and the person that was

295
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: my manager, I'm like, hey, what we're gonna do? And

296
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, you should, uh wait and see if

297
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: Tricky and we're gonna fuck with you again, and I'm like, man,

298
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 2: I just nah, I gotta do something else. And then

299
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: you know, we kind of parted ways on there, and

300
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: then I'm just I'm just working and I'm just so

301
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: I link up with the because during the time with

302
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: Tricky and men my link with Mac from wedding crashes

303
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: or whatever do other people. But uh so we're just

304
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: going through Atlanta and we're just performing and ship. But yeah,

305
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 2: really the the boy won the situation while I'm just

306
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: performing in Atlanta and just getting off work doing little

307
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: mixers and ship mm hmm. But that just kind of just.

308
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: So that's when you and boy wanted to started too.

309
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: It was like after I got dropped, like two three

310
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: years later after I got dropped, where I like sent

311
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: the text and.

312
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: Then from there he was like, all right, send me

344
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,640

345
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: I'm saying. We just like he knows about it though,

346
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But it's just like, you know,

347
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: Wonder is a good dude, and he's just like, you know,

348
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: saying some ship it. We'll just see what we can do,

349
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: you know. And so yeah, we just we're just firing off.

350
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: And then uh, ten Bands goes and he's like, Yo,

351
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: Drake is fucking with Tim Bands.

352
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: Man, he's going crazy over it.

353
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh shit, I sent Tim Bands to a

354
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: couple of my friends. Now, I didn't know what a

355
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: reference track was at this time.

356
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: And at that point, you were just making a record.

357
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 4: I was just making songs.

358
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: And plus when he said it, I'm thinking Tre's gonna

359
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: get on it. So I'm like, I'm not leaking, you

360
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Like, and then later I was

361
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: sent a clip and it was Drake saying it, and

362
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, all right, well hey yeah, And at.

363
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: This point I feel like Drake was hopping on younger

364
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: artists shit and giving them look. Steps was around that time,

365
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: even with it like the Fetty Ship, the MACONI ship,

366
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: like he.

367
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: Was just to be in department store and they're gonna

368
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: be like, oh, that's.

369
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: He was hopping. I could totally understand your perspective there,

370
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: thinking that that would be a possibility that because he

371
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: did want to help.

372
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 3: He did that with the Migos with right, that was

373
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: the day he did with Feedti wip Uh the Tuesday record.

374
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: There was more than this. He was hopping on ship.

375
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: So that was your thought at first, you thought, oh, ship,

376
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 3: I'm about to have a record with got you okay?

377
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: And how much of ten Bands is done at this point?

378
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: The hook and a verse or you did a full record?

379
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 4: What the what the what?

380
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: The league was? Literally? What it was? You know what

381
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: I'm saying. It was just so it started start to record,

382
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, just the start up and yeah,

383
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: so then I find out it's not. It was like okay,

384
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: you know whatever, I just you know, send more ideas

385
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: more I did start to go and next thing you know,

386
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: it's like I'm flown out. But the funny thing is

387
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: the ironic thing the ten Bands referenced that, Like I said,

388
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: I sent to a couple more friends. One of my

389
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: homegirls used the Ten Bands reference. She knew Cannon and

390
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: Drama my friend Quintin Now they're fucking with us. We

391
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 2: come through me and Wedding Crashers, And that was the

392
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: genuine part. They genuinely fucked with Wedding Crashers, you know

393
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Like they weren't like, nah, we just

00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: want to fuck with quint Miller, like if they was

395
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 2: rocking with us. So it's like, if it weren't for that,

396
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: then that connection wouldn't happen. So now I'm going out

Speaker 4: From the source.

422
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: So when you're out here in La, is there talk

423
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: or focused that, hey, we're working on this album or

424
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: is it just the way some artists just getting the

425
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: studio and make ship until reading this, Yeah, is there

426
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: a full idea that hey, we are focused on making

427
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: an album out or we just try and ship.

428

429
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: on the album.

430
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: And at that point ten bands would be the only

431
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: one that we have heard or anything that came out

432
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: that time.

433
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

434
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: So then you fast forward a little more.

435
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: And we get around Rico time, I think, I mean

436
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: in the studio in Atlanta, right, uh, drinking them, like

437
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: just to send ideas. And at this time, Drake's not

438
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: taking He's not taking nothing. Like I'm saying, ship and

439
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: like nothing's fine. You know, I'm just using the time

440
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 2: to make other songs that you know, for myself. Whatever.

441
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: You know, if you don't take it, I'll send you.

442

00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, because we were just We're

00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 4: the room.

518
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: So then a few days or whatever after that, I

519
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 2: could approach again. Meek's on the other side of the building.

520
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: Out They're like, yo, meet, let me say you got

521
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say much. You got some racks for you.

522
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,600

00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: Time is where you turn him down the first time?

528
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: Huh?

Speaker 3: And I said nah.

533
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: So then after that, I remember leaving the studio. I

534
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 2: get a phone call from Drama and he's living. He's like,

535
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: how you not gonna do these ideas for me? Like

Speaker 4: I just you know what I'm saying.

539
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: Like it was like a thing. So now I remember

540
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: hitting Drake and I'm like, yo, this is kind of weird.

541
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: I explained the whole thing. So really when Bro called

542
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: it out, it wasn't like we was one hundred percent

543
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: unaware because it was some weird shit already happening.

544
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 4: Here, you know what I'm saying.

545
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: The and then, of course, and then know Yourself that

00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 2: league came from Drama. Them too. Were in the studio

547
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 2: one night and there's a bunch of people there and

548
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: Drama's like, yo, man, play one of them ships. Man,

00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: play it one more time.

555
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 4: Play one.

556
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: If you listen to the know Yourself references you hear people.

557
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: In the background. Yeah, it just sounds.

558
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: Like someone's recording.

559
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

560
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: So, because that's what I was going to ask, because

561
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: there was the rumor that you sent those references to

562
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: Drama and I remember hearing it, like, no, it sounds

563
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: like somebody recorded.

564
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: Only reference I know for a fact I sent to

565
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 4: Drama was Rico.

566
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: But okay that she.

567
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: Wasn't sending it that even in itself. I didn't even

568
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: think Drake was gonna take it. He just I was

569
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: just missing. Everything I was shooting was just not.

570
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: It wasn't hitting. Yes, just like you know whatever.

571
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, like then that was just the one,

572
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: the one that I just so having to send over

573
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: and then it was just like downhill from there. I

574
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: just think the crazy thing, you know, even from watching

575
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 2: Dramas interview with y'all, it's just like, man, first off,

576
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: even that video that I did what twenty nineteen, when

577
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: I was just like, man, I regret because I still

578
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: believe what Drama was telling me when he was like,

579
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: it wasn't me. We didn't do that shit. We didn't

580
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: do that shit. So I'm like, Damn, I burnt my

581
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: relationship with DJ Drama and them for this shit, you

582
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, only to hear him go on

583
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: Drink Champce and say it was him. Yeah. Then he

584
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: go on y'all show, He's like, and everybody was pointing

585
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: the finger at me, but it was you, actually you,

586
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: it was.

587
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: He took some accountability. I feel like in our conversation.

588
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: He took up accountability. He said that everybody had a role.

589
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: He said that there was a lot of other people

590
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: that had a role in the whole shit.

591
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: And then he also tried to like I just didn't

592
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: like how he like passed tense to me, Like, man,

593
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: it just didn't work out for Quentin.

594
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm in a great place, and Drake's

595
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 4: in a great place.

596
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 2: Both of you guys are in great places. It don't

597
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 2: have to be that way, you know what I man like.

598
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know, it is what

599
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: it is, if that's what he wants. But I just

600
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: felt like it's a little it's a little disingenuous, it's

601
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: a little it just think it's.

602
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: A little fucked up. You feel you feel like you

603
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 3: got the the raw end of the deal, and you.

604
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 2: I feel like I got the wrong in the deal

605
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 2: and they all know it and they're like, oh man,

606
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: so sorry. I'm like what I'm okay on my ear though,

607
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, like, make it right if

608
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: you want to make it right.

609
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: Like did you watch the leak happens with Know Yourself?

610
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: Or was it which which leak happened first?

611
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: I think you Know Yourself was the first one, if

612
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: I remember correctly.

613
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: I feel like they all kind of came out at

614
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: the same time. First first Meeks said my name on Twitter.

615
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: I remember, and then with no context either just wrote

616
00:28:59,240 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: your government name.

617
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: It was just that. And then I can't remember the

618
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: order of the leaks, but I remember funk Master Flex

619
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: running them back a bunch of times.

620
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: I feel like Flex said he had them and then didn't.

621
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: I remember waiting by the radio for like two hours

622
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: and Flex claimed he had them, and then they never

623
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: they were never played. And then I think on the

624
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: meek response to back to back was when we finally

625
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: heard everything, But where's your where's your relationship with everybody

626
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: while this entire mess is happening, And where's your business

627
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: at with Ovo? Because you're turning down money from me

628
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: to the loyalty to the camp you're with. Is your

629
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: business straight with Drake at that point? And I'm sure

630
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: there's obviously writing credits and publishing that you got on.

631
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: It, But I walked out of I turned away from

632
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: a lot of situations for that. I really, I really

633
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: Beanie c with myself for that. You know what I'm saying,

634
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 2: and you know it is what it is. But our

635
00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: relationship is just weird.

636
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 4: I don't.

637
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: I don't know where we stand. I feel like it's

638
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: like a level of resentment towards me. Like I remember

639
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: when everything was going down and he hit me. He

640
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: was like, yo, bro, they're giving you credit for songs

641
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: that I worked hours on and I'm like, bro, I don't.

642
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: I don't want this ship. Yeah, I'm cool with the

643
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: songs that I did, like with the songs that I did, Like,

644
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: I'm cool with that credit.

645
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 4: Like I don't. I looked up to this man before

646
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 4: I even came into.

647
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: The situation, so it's like, you know, to hear it

648
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: was like at one point he's telling me, yo, you know,

649
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: if it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able

650
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: to finish this album. I appreciate you out at all.

651
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: And then you're going on interviews and you're like, you

652
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: know Quintin, you know, he's this kid, you know, yeah, yeah,

653
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: I did are great ideas, but you know it's like,

654
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: damn Bro, like y'all intentionally like shedding. You know, you

655
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: guys are very influential and we know this.

656
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

657
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: You can make anybody hot. You know what I'm saying,

658
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: make anybody not hot. You know, it's just it's just

659
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: a matter of things, you know. And I just felt

660
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: like that was strange. And then the fact that like

661
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: he was able to.

662
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, not.

663
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: Even just him, because I have a relationship with Drama too,

664
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: So it's like all of them, like so all y'all

665
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: are good with each other now, but nobody you know

666
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like I'm the center of the whole shit,

667
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But with me, everybody's like,

668
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: oh man, me, what was you an apology? Like, Bro,

669
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: I never had a conversation with me, So I don't

670
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: even I don't even have any expectations from Bro, like

671
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good, like.

672
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: But did have expectations from Drake and Drama?

673
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah I have I have relationships with these dudes. You

674
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like I had I worked with

675
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: these guys and yeah, I don't know.

676
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 4: I just felt like that whole thing was strange.

677
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: But did you feel blackballed at that time or was

678
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: their labels reaching out or the.

679
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: Too, because it's just like, you know, I'm man, I'm thinking,

680
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: like the phone is just about to just ring off

681
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: the hood that I'm thinking, you know, anytime anybody's involved

682
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: with one song with this guy, it's like everything you know,

683
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 2: and it's just like it just wasn't like that. It's

684
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: just like it just didn't It just didn't happen. It

685
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: was like it was strange.

686
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to insinuate anything, but did anything cross

687
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: your mind on why, because I would think the same thing,

688
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: and being credible for huge records by the biggest artists

689
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: in the world, I would think my phone would start

690
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: fucking ringing exactly.

691
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: A multitude of things you know, went by my mind,

692
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: you know, And then like the fucked up part of

693
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: it all was I was in a publishing deal, so

694
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: I couldn't even really capitalize on those songs.

695
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

696
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: Anybody that wasn't any publishing deal, and you get songs

697
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: like that, you know your life is changed, you know.

698
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: But it's just like I've just been under the table,

699
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: like I've been in the back door. I came in

700
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 2: the game in the back door, and like I've just

Speaker 2: been under the table this whole time, Like.

702
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: So, where's the where's the Did you ever have a

703
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 3: conversation with Drake after like all of this shit happened?

704
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 3: Did you explain the situation? Like, yo, I didn't you know,

705
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,320

00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: That was fucked up. Man, that was fucked up.

760
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: Do you know it's for a fact though? Or is

761
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: this if that was the case, because that's not put

762
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: that on Nikki.

763
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 3: That wasn't to put that on her jacket. If that fact.

764
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Remember, drama was like Nikki did something wrong.

765
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: But Drama wasn't there either.

766
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: What was he talking about.

767
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 2: I don't know.

768
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't there, but I hope that wasn't the case.

769
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: If that was the case, but either way, I put

770
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: it on me.

771
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,040

00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: thing happened.

773
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: But still, but finding that out that hurt even more

774

828
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,239

00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 4: I was, I was goofy back then, but.

835
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: We all had.

836
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,959
Speaker 2: It's all good, you know, it's it's true, it's true.

837
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, I was called I was called off guard.

838
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 2: Like when he showed me that clip and it said that,

839
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: in my mind, I'm thinking, damn our niggas talking about it.

840
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, niggas is talking about it. I need

841
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: to own it. I thought, yeah, yeah, I'm like I can't.

842
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to cap it and let niggas you

843
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, like I just need to own it,

844
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: you know. So, but uh yeah, that was that was

845
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: strange and that whole shed blood in the Nike store thing. Nike,

846
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: you never gave me a check. I really thought that

847
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: I was gonna get something.

848
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: No, let me tell you. They owe you a check

849
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 3: for the day you had in this store. Listen, man,

850
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 3: they owe you a check for a lot more than that.

851
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: Nike was not the commercial. Was he come to the

852
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: Nike town and get smacked by Nikki?

853
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: We definitely introduced the tech Fleee to Metro Atlanta for sure.

854
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: Day come on, So.

855
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 3: That situation happens, and still there's no communication with Drake

856
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: at all ever again, like it's just like completely radio silence.

857
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: Do you reach out, do you text him, do you

858
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 3: call them, do you try to you know, get in

859
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 3: touch them to a third party, or you're just like, yo,

860
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:09,479
Speaker 3: he's just obviously not.

861
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: Just it just turned. It just turned. It just turned

862
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: from like you know we talked to we don't. That's

863
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 2: really all it is, is like all right and we've linked,

864
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: we've linked after a while or whatever, and we've talked

865
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 2: and ship since. But you and Dre, you know how

866
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 2: you talk, but you don't say nothing.

867
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 3: It's just a bunch of fil.

868
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 2: Like we've done that, like we've seen each other, you know.

869
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 2: But but I mean, do you I just don't.

870
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 4: I don't know.

871
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: Do you blame him and not to say you did

872
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: anything wrong in that regarding or what the expectations should

873
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: have been from Drake. I do feel like that's a

874
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: possible asterisk from some fans, and you just represent part

875
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: of that, and he wants to get far the fuck

876
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: away from it. It's maybe not a personal thing, it's

877
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: that situation he's just trying to get far the fuck

878
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: away from. So even having a relationship with you still

879
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: makes him attached to a moment that he may think.

880
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: But my thing is you're cool with me and you're

881
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: cool with trauma, but cool with people who actually intended

882
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 2: on killing.

883
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: Okay, but that right, perception wise, can close the chapter

884
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: on that asterisk because we don't look at it as

885
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: crazy now because he's friends with Meek again, and I

886
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: think I think he did it for perception reasons. Of

887
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: course they probably do have some type of personal relationship,

888
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: but I think he did that as a Hey, I

889
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: won that battle. I'm now going to be friends with him,

890
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: and we can close it and all the ghost fright

891
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: and shit can go out of the way because we're

892
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: not beefing anymore.

893
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: Like closing that and like you know, getting a bunch

894
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 2: of projects in between it and stuff. I do feel

895
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 2: like getting as far away from that conversation as possible.

896
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 4: It's definitely has been a mission of his, you.

897
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: Know, because if I see that, and even like when

898
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm brought up, like in interviews, like he changes the

899
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 2: subject really really fast, like like yeah, he'll answer, and

900
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 2: with his answer, he switches it.

901
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. So it's like I get it.

902
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: You know.

903
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 4: It's like a go away type of thing.

904
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: He's a brand protect you. But I feel like when

905
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: we look at Drake and me, we don't think of ghostwriting,

906
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: But if I were to see you and Drake next

907
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: to each other, it probably would cross my mind. Again,

908
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: that's I'm just trying to think from Drake's perspective of

909
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: how it may not be a personal thing. And more

910
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: of all, when.

911
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 2: You feel like it was just handled bad, I feel

912
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 2: like if you would have just own owned up to it,

913
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: if he would have just been like, yeah, I worked

914
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: with Quinton like it was a cool dude.

915
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: Maybe you don't think I'm cool this.

916
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 2: Dude from Atlanta, you know, like he has some cool ideas,

917
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 2: you know, Like I feel like it would have been.

918
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: But we never seen anything like it, like none of us,

919
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: you know, so I never seen nothing like it. They

920
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: never seen nothing like it. I feel like the music

921
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 2: game and the internet in general learned a lot about

922
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: out viral moments and ship from Yeah, from my situation,

923
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: I feel like rappers can freely have writers now, yeah,

924
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: free of scandal because of that situation.

925
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 3: That's whole. When that's when that news dropped. When we

926
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: got the news that Drake you know, these records and

927
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 3: got the references, and I remember how it shook like

928
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 3: me and my homies because it was kind of like, wait,

929
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 3: so bro, he not writing and ship. But then as

930
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 3: you think about it, he like, but he's written for

931
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 3: other people, so he writes. So we kind of we

932
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 3: didn't really like pay that too much energy because it

933
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 3: was like, all right, we know how this goes. He

934
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: got some some young energy in the studio with him.

935
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 3: Drake is not in the streets no more. He doesn't

936
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 3: what's the new slang? He needs to keep that type

937
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 3: of energy around him. How a dude's talking, you know,

938
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 3: what's the new energy, the new cadences, like the new flows.

939
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 3: But as far as like Drake not writing his ship,

940
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 3: because I think that was the thing that it was

941
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 3: trying to look like, yo, he doesn't write. And it

942
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 3: was like we had to stop for a minute, like, wait,

943
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: all of these records that we love, he's not writing shit.

944
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 3: Then as you get them over, like but wait, he

945
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 3: wrote this record for this artist, He wrote for this person.

946
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 3: So clearly Drake is a writer. So to me, that

947
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 3: shit kind of blew over because after a while, people

948
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 3: just was like, yo, fam, he's written for the artists.

949
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 3: Of course, he writes his own shit, he writes for

950
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 3: other people.

951
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, I came into the situation a

952
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 2: fan of Drake already, Like I was telling him about

953
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: songs that he had that inspired me. So it was

954
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 2: never a time where I'm trying to take credit for

955
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: this nigga shit.

956
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

957
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 2: It's like, but I get it, you know, the whole internet,

958
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: because you know, but.

959
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 3: I do remember you making it clear, like when you

960
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 3: came in the studio that album, that project was like

961
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 3: eighty five ninety percent done already when you came around,

962
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 3: like a majority of the project was definitely done for sure.

963
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 1: At least from what well we know how the fans felt,

964
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: or at least like the rap nerd fans about how

965
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: did you feel, did you think, Oh, maybe I'm not

966
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: the first person that's been here contributing with this amount

967
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: of lyrics before to Drake's rap songs, because I think

968
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: most of us didn't assume that like just hold On,

969
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: We're Coming Home is all just Drake's pen and some

970
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: of the more poppy R and B songs. I assumed

971
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: he probably had help, as does almost every single person

972
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: period when it comes to that genre. I mean, how

973
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: did you feel for the rap stuff of like hmm hmm,

974
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: this is his like fourth fifth album.

975
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 2: You know, it was interesting. But at the same time,

976
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: you know, I know, you know, the greats work and collaborate,

977
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Kanye West has a laundry

978
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: list of collaborators on all of his albums, you know

979
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So it's like, you know, it's still

980
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 2: to be able to hear what goes and know where

981
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 2: to put it and stuff. It's still an incredible thing

982
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: and be able to deliver it. Man, I was just

983
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 2: so happy and appreciative of the situation, Like I wasn't

984
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 2: even it wasn't none of that. I wanted to help.

985
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 2: I just wanted to help as much as I can,

986
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: Like you know, like and.

987
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 3: You was trying to get your name out there. You're

988
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 3: trying to get your shit off, trying to get your

989
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 3: art your skill out there, like man, and just get

990
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 3: some cortezs.

991
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: And Nike Niceytown and.

992
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 2: You know it just it just it just proved, just

993
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: proved myself right man, Like when that when that album

994
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: when when if you're reading this dropped, it was just like, man,

995
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: I remember it just hit my dad like dang, like

996
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 2: I touched something that I did, something that touched the world,

997
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: Like yeah, you know, like it was an opportunity for me.

998
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: You know it was big and I'm like, man, I

999
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 2: just want to see this ship keep going. And it

1000
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: was like the best dream of your life turned into

1001
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: a scary ass nightmare.

1002
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:35,479
Speaker 3: Where did that put you?

1003
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 2: Try to hold the pieces together?

1004
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: You know where that puts you mentally? Like once the

1005
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: dust settled and like things calmed down a bit and

1006
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: it did go from what was probably the greatest moment

1007
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: in your career at the time to now, what the

1008
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: fuck this is now the band of my existence and

1009
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: I have to once again re route. Did it feel

1010
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: like when you got dropped and had to pivot and

1011
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: figure something else out or was it just a shitty feeling?

1012
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: Was it a It felt like when I got dropped again,

1013
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 2: It felt like, damn, I gotta I gotta figure some

1014
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: shit out again.

1015
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 4: But then.

1016
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: Then I lose my leg in twenty sixteen, and so

1017
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 2: then now it's just like two mountains, you know what

1018
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying, and I gotta spend so much like, really, damn,

1019
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: there a whole twenty sixteen I'm just like trying to

1020
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 2: walk again.

1021
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.

1022
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was.

1023
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 3: What are your spirits like at that moment? Like, as

1024
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 3: far as mentally, how you feeling, I'm sure depression was

1025
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: a thing.

1026
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, because I just wanted to give back up.

1027
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 2: You know, I had a little bit of momentum my name,

1028
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 2: you know, like if I was gonna do anything with it,

1029
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 2: I needed to do it then, you know. And so

1030
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 2: it was just like a very very inconvenient time. And

1031
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: then stuff like that makes you psychologically timid, and you

1032
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 2: know it makes you you know, I realized, you know,

1033
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 2: some changes in myself that you know, might have come

1034
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 2: from just the combination of everything happening at the same time.

1035
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: You know, uh yeah, but I just wanted to I

1036
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 2: just wanted to get back up, just get back like and.

1037
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: Just show a big part of this of me wanting

1038
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 3: to sit down and kick it what you was, you know,

1039
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 3: for the fact that I recognized number one, the talent,

1040
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 3: But then I also recognize that you're just like a

1041
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 3: humble person and you non confrontational. You don't want to

1042
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 3: come across like you're trying to cause any issues, any problems.

1043
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 3: You just want to do what you do. Create, you know,

1044
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 3: have fun, put shit out there, and you know, just

1045
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 3: enjoy your art being accepted and appreciated. But out of

1046
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: that whole situation, what do you look back on to say,

1047
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 3: this is what I should have did differently, I shouldn't

1048
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 3: have did this, I should have did that.

1049
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess sending references, Yeah, that would be

1050
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 2: because that's really what it was, because the word of

1051
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 2: mouth is the word of mouth.

1052
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 4: It was the actual references.

1053
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 2: But I ain't you know, I didn't know what the

1054
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 2: fuck references was, Like I said, the ten bands thing,

1055
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 2: that was before I even knew what the situation was.

1056
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I could never blame somebody for working

1057
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: with Drake and not wanting to play that ship for

1058
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: their friends.

1059
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: Like Bro'm like, it's like the very beginning, you know,

1060
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 2: and then you know, with everything else, it's just like,

1061
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, everything just happened the way it happened,

1062
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: but you know it definitely wasn't. No, what the fuck

1063
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 2: sense does it make for me to be like I'm

1064
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,959
Speaker 2: trying to leave some references out like hey, I'm Drake,

1065
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 2: Like no, I'm still trying to get put on, like

1066
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get more songs with this man. I'm

1067
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 2: trying to get songs with other people. You know what

1068
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like I'm trying to I'm trying to do

1069
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: stuff with other people.

1070
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: And yeah, did that that turn you off to the

1071
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: possibility of being an artist but also of being a writer,

1072
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: Like the way we saw Frank Ocean where he was

1073
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: still writing for people yet became his own artist.

1074
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 2: I've been still writing for people ever since. You know,

1075
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 2: I don't work with nas Big Sean g Z A

1076
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 2: bunch of other people Jeremiah Tod Dollar sign like a

1077
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 2: bunch of other people. You know, I never really wanted

1078
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 2: to be a writer, and you know, it's a it's

1079
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: an interesting sport. You know, I think I have more

1080
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 2: of a passion to just be creative, you know what

1081
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying with what I feel sometimes, especially you know

1082
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 2: in today's time where they want certain type of songs

1083
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 2: and stuff. You know, everybody's not you know, that type

1084
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 2: of song maker. You know some people, some people will

1085
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 2: make not to sound corny, but you know, make songs

1086
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 2: from their I guess or what they feel, you know.

1087
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, man, it's it's it's an industry. Money

1088
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 2: Long really hit it right on the head to also

1089
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:16,240
Speaker 2: just the feeling of being a writer, because it's really like.

1090
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 4: Like you're just the help. You're just the replaceable help.

1091
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 2: That's you know, come when it's time to work, when

1092
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 2: it's time to celebrate. I forgot, like, don't you know

1093
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 2: everybody gets paid, but you know, you in your publishing

1094
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: check that she don't come to like a year from

1095
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 2: change later, depending on your situation.

1096
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's a thankless job.

1097
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a thankless job. It's ours hours hours and

1098
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 2: no paid job.

1099
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 3: So tricky how much? How well is tricky eating off

1100
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 3: of that point?

1101
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 2: Unless no, no, no, okay, So now it's different if

1102
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 2: you got the hits, you know what I'm saying. But

1103
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: if you know, it's a little more difficult if you

1104
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 2: just like album placing and stuff like that. If you

1105
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 2: you know, if you get them top forty hits, top

1106
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 2: twenty heads, ship like that, you know.

1107
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but on the way to get there, you're gonna

1108
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: get fucked out of publishing. You can write a whole

1109
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: record or not get the publishing because the bigger artists

1110
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: come with that standard that I'm taking this amount with

1111
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: no matter what you.

1112
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 2: All the time I write the hook in the verse

1113
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 2: and all the shit, you're going to give me five? Why? Bro?

1114
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 2: You know the situation? Man, Oh my god, man, this businessman.

1115
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 2: What justaturn feelings.

1116
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:41,240
Speaker 1: Between the entire career side of everything that happened, the accident,

1117
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: What was it like being a parent through that entire thing?

1118
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 2: It's like living three lives. Yeah, it's like living three lives, man,

1119
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: because yeah, you know, I don't know, it's like it's

1120
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 2: different hats, different different zones, different modes. And I was

1121
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 2: like balancing that, you know, going to work, the dad thing,

1122
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: going downtown to try to be a rapper. You know,

1123
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 2: just pretty much it's just a balance thing. You know,

1124
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 2: it's tough.

1125
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 3: But what what's the when you see people, uh, you know,

1126
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 3: playing your records that you worked on and your lyrics

1127
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 3: and they don't really either recognize you or know you. You

1128
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 3: could be in the club, in a room and people

1129
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 3: going off to your lyrics, like what does that do

1130
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 3: to your psyche? As far as like a writing an artist,

1131
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 3: like how does that affect you? Like people in love

1132
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 3: with your words and and and your your lyrics and

1133
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 3: melodies that you put you created, but they don't know

1134
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 3: who you are.

1135
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: I think it would I think it would mean more

1136
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 2: if it made me rich, But it didn't change my

1137
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 2: life because I was in this situation. So it was

1138
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 2: like I just got clout. I just you know what

1139
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I got a cloud. I can walk into

1140
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: rooms with legendary artists and they know me and respect me,

1141
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 2: and they'll hear me out and they'll listen to my ideas,

1142
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But then that do we

1143
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 2: go out to the parking lot and the cars are

1144
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 2: different mm hmm, or the jeweler walk in the room

1145
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 2: and I get a little more quiet. I mean, so

1146
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 2: it's like, man, you know this is great, this cloud

1147
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 2: is great. People say, oh, man, you're a legend.

1148
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 3: You need that bread.

1149
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but you know you want that life changing opportunity.

1150
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 2: And you know the politics of the business. That's where

1151
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes the homeschool thing might have put

1152
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 2: me at a disadvantage. How So it's interesting because socially, yeah,

1153
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: because of the business is very social business people playing

1154
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 2: Game of Thrones.

1155
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 3: The lunch room, cafeteria. Yeah, cool table.

1156
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 2: I did go half a semester. I begged my mom

1157
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 2: and I went to South on it. It was lou

1158
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,479
Speaker 2: Will's senior year.

1159
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 3: Will shout Will legend. Nah.

1160
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know you know.

1161
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: What I man, what was that semester?

1162
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: Like it was lit?

1163
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you feel socially awkward or like.

1164
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 2: It was like it was like it was like jumping

1165
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 2: on the treadmill on high speed. Yeah, because it was

1166
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: like my sophomore year, so it was like it was

1167
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 2: just going going on. I'm like, I'm just trying to

1168
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: focus on get my first girlfriend. I got my first dance.

1169
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 2: I went to a homecoming dance. I passed up on

1170
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 2: an opportunity. I know it in hindsight. When I was young,

1171
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 2: I didn't know this girl. I got a dance from

1172
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 2: her and she was like, hey, let's go, and I'm like,

1173
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 2: why girls are dancing in here?

1174
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the home schools, that home school ship.

1175
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: But then even if you're not homeschool when you're that

1176
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: young and that type of ship doesn't happening. Man, you

1177
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,720
Speaker 1: don't pick up on social certain Oh she wants to man.

1178
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just likes everywhere. Yeah, and they just just dancing. Yeah.

1179
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, So that's that's the mentality that I was

1180
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: coming from. But I could rap, right, I'm nice. I

1181
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 2: could wrap though. I had a lot of time to

1182
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 2: hone my skills, and that ship it took me places.

1183
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 3: Well you speaking of of of rapping, one of my

1184
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 3: favorite joints you did was the in the Hills with

1185
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 3: half a mil That record the whole project is, Yeah,

1186
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 3: why don't we get more of that? Like why is

1187
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 3: that such like a snapshot of a moment, Like we

1188
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 3: give them that and then we just disappeared, Like you.

1189
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 4: Mean the half a mile joints?

1190
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's just a matter of just all

1191
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 2: of us actually getting in the room.

1192
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 3: You know. That's like with Hit Boy is now right

1193
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 3: in his career, his life where you are, and then

1194
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 3: with Dom, Like, I think that that's something that is

1195
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,439
Speaker 3: very unique, very special. It's something that we need more

1196
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 3: of because it's just dope shit that comes out of that,

1197
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 3: you know what I.

1198
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 2: Mean, Hit I mean, that's that's my brother man. It's

1199
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 2: like through it all, it's weird. It's like through all

1200
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 2: the bullshit and everything happened and people stopped fucking me.

1201
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 2: It was Boy wanted to Hit Boy, Jeremiah like them

1202
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 2: three just kept fucking me and just kept me in

1203
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 2: the game. And they don't know how important it was

1204
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 2: because I needed that validation that I was playing the

1205
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 2: sport on that level and I didn't have nobody else

1206
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 2: that was giving me that reminder, you know. So those

1207
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: relationships just them just value in my opinion, and having

1208
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 2: me come through and keep working like that. Shit was

1209
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 2: big Man Don Kennedy. He's like the cool guy in

1210
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 2: school and I'm like the nerd, you know what I'm saying.

1211
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 3: So nobody, nobody could really get off like that though.

1212
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 2: It's so crazy, but you know, we like we went

1213
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 2: together and like it's it's fire every time, it's classic

1214
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 2: every time.

1215
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, outside of the obvious talent, I'm sure Hit

1216
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: just probably identified because he went through a lot of

1217
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: ups and downs behind the scenes with his career too.

1218
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: Of course, he's sure arguably the number one producer now,

1219
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: but there was a time after Watch the Throne where

1220
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: the industry could have said, you know, it's over for Hit,

1221
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 1: like this isn't really and he was getting black balled

1222
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: to some degree in other places. We're publishing shit. So

1223
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: it's it's nice that when you see people that go

1224
00:58:55,480 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: through bullshit in the industry don't think, oh, everyone else

1225
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: should go through that. They'd rather help and make sure

1226
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,959
Speaker 1: people don't have to go through the same bullshit they did.

1227
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Man, he told me that he's you know, he

1228
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 2: related with my situation a little bit, you know. But man,

1229
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 2: watching that man Us Sin over these years has been crazy. Man,

1230
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 2: he's like Mama mentality and a producer like I ain't

1231
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 2: never seen nobody that just just works so hard, Like

1232
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 2: he's constantly making beats, like constantly, like he don't ever

1233
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 2: get tired of it, you know, I don't know, it's

1234
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 2: the focus level, the focus level is inspiring. He gonna

1235
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 2: hit that studio the next day. He might turn up

1236
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 2: the night, but the next day he was in there early,

1237
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 2: like super early, cooking.

1238
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 3: How many joints do you and Cardo have together, man Carlo?

1239
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 2: So we did it. He did a whole project with

1240
00:59:55,960 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 2: wedding crashers. This was after the the Drake thing I'm

1241
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 2: talking about, like Man me, Mac and Cardo's sleeping in

1242
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 2: the same hotel room, like going to the studio every

1243
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 2: day working on this ship. And it was so crazy.

1244
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 2: As soon as it dropped, like a few weeks after,

1245
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 2: he just he just stopped. Stop contacting us. He just

1246
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 2: stopped responding. It was weird.

1247
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 4: Stop supporting the project, stop responding.

1248
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait what?

1249
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1250
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to insinuate anything again, but do you

1251
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: have an idea of why.

1252
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 2: He just stopped?

1253
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Do you think somebody told him to do that or

1254
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: asked him.

1255
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 3: To do that.

1256
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 2: I have a lot of thoughts, Rory.

1257
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: I have some theories too.

1258
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 2: I have a lot of thoughts, but their thoughts that

1259
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 2: I can't say because then I look like a conspiracy theory.

1260
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna do that as much. I have

1261
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 2: thoughts and yeah, no, I don't know. That was interesting

1262
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 2: because it was love man, and it's still I love

1263
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 2: like I fucked with Cardo, I haven't. I ain't a.

1264
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: Phenomenal producer, really good producer.

1265
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, an incredible producer. God's playing. That's like, that's just incredible.

1266
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: The why I don't call it a single, but Love

1267
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,480

1268
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: a month now, Yeah, amazing. I love the record, but

1269
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: I've know you've been putting up like like minute minute

1270
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: thirty joints that are way more melodic even than some

1271
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: of the raps that you have in almost like damn

1272
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: near acoustic guitar singing or just simple keys and singing.

1273
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Is that a specific direction you're trying to go in

1274
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 1: between the rap stuff or where where is the Quentin

1275
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: Miller I guess creative process at now in which you

1276
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: want to be represented as an artist.

1277
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 2: Right now, it's just like really just just again with

1278
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 2: the cheesy lines. Was just going with my heart, you know,

1279
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 2: like because I'm inspired by all kinds of shit, I'm

1280
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 2: inspired by all kinds of music. Kanye's like my number

1281
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 2: one artists of all time, you know, so you know,

1282
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 2: uh and especially with my time with Tricky and them

1283
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 2: at Red Zone, Like I just learned so much about

1284
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 2: melody and ship and I was forced to make beats

1285
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 2: because it was a time where people weren't giving me beats.

1286
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 4: So sometimes I.

1287
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 2: Just like, I still like cook the beat up or whatever,

1288
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 2: and I just I just like to express myself creatively

1289
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: however I can.

1290
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, So where are you at now as far as

01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 2: project if I If anything, I'm looking towards top of

1295
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 2: the year for a project, but just more singles, just

1298
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 3: When is the last time Quentin Miller was like happy?

1299
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 3: Uh man, like honestly just happy.

1300
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, because I like my head's been down.

1301
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 2: I've been like trying to get to a point, like

1302
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 2: just head down, grinding, Like I guess I'm like basing

1303
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 2: happiness on like a place. You know. It's like okay,

1304
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 2: when I get to this place, then you know, but

1305
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 2: you know.

1306
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: Till then do you think the accident put things in

1307
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: perspective at all and like what matters? Because you know,

1308
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: after all that shit happened and it was all public bullshit,

1309
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: and like, did that kind of make you realize what

1310
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: was important in life?

1311
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? But it also it made me realize what was

1312
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 4: important in life.

1313
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 2: But then the months of just sitting in a bed

1314
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 2: just made you want to just run. Like it just

1315
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 2: makes you just you know, when you're just watching life

1316
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 2: go by on your phone while you're just laying in

1317
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 2: one spot. That ship that shit was, it just makes

1318
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 2: you say, funk all that ship. Yeah, I'm trying to

1319
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 2: get in the streets.

1320
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get up.

1321
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: What do you think it helped creatively or kind of

1322
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: damage your spirit a little bit? At at the moment,

1323
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: I feel like.

1324
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 2: If anything damaged my spirit, it was the combination of

1325
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 2: that with you know, I don't know, I've had a

1326
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 2: hard road in this music business, if you know, from

1327
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 2: beginning to the end.

1328
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 4: You know, so I guess it just.

1329
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,959
Speaker 2: Like it was like damn, man, I gotta I gotta

1330
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 2: pull a rabbit out the hat again, Like I gotta

1331
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 2: like make something out of nothing again. I already was

1332
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 2: getting money under the table. You know what I'm saying too,

1333
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 2: And I'm doing shit that's everywhere, that's all over the world.

1334
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 2: This is shit that's supposed to change my life. Now

1335
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 2: my life changed. The situation is gone. And it was

1336
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 2: just like damn, I gotta figure that shit out again,

1337
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 2: Like it was just.

1338
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean, but as exhausting is that I know it

1339
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: must be. You do have to applaud yourself with the

1340
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: amount of times that you've had to reinvent, pivot, change,

1341
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: and still continue the fuck on. Like I think I

1342
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: would applaud that type of shit, right, Like that's incredible

1343
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: to every.

1344
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 3: It's not easy to navigate through those obstacles like you

1345
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 3: have some of the biggest obstacles to most people.

1346
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,479
Speaker 1: Get move around, get dropped and never hear from them again.

1347
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: Get into a insane public thing in the history of

1348
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: hip with the biggest artist ever. Still continue on, have

1349
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: a terrible accident, still continue on. Like applaud your like

1350
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: you found a way every single to.

1351
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 3: Give yourself a lot of credit.

1352
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: I know in the moment that probably feels really shitty,

1353
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: Like dog, why do I have to keep doing the ship?

1354
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: This is really taking a toll. But you do have

1355
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: to also look at it as no matter what, I'm

1356
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: gonna find a fucking way.

1357
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I appreciate that. Man. I feel like, man, you know,

1358
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still here for a reason, and you

1359
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 2: know these doors kept opening for a reason, so you know,

1360
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 2: I just got to stay at it.

1361
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 3: Who do you credit most with the inspiration for like

1362
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 3: your style of writing and flow?

1363
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 2: Jay Z, Kanye West in Atlanta. Mm hmm, just like

1364
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 2: all like because I grew up, you know, so all

1365
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 2: the phases, you know, I remember. I remember specifically like

1366
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 2: when I got I used to be super super like

1367
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 2: I said, jay Z watched the Throne like, you know,

1368
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 2: just perfect rap, and then I remember like seeing how

1369
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 2: the Gucci's and the black Boy White Boy slag and

1370
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 2: just all that ship that was going on in Atlanta,

1371
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 2: how it would make girls react. And then I'd be

1372
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 2: like hold up, no, no, no, I'm wrong.

1373
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

1374
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 2: Like it was just anytime when I would get too

1375
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 2: technical with the rap ship, then I would tap into

1376
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 2: Atlanta and it would remind me of flavor. Yeah you

1377
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So yeah, just Atlanta and then

1378
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,320

01:09:59,280 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 2: I would not.

1422
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Call you colling for this because I would do the

1423
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 1: same thing at any point before everything was exposed, when

1424
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 1: ten bands or something came on, you definitely tapped short,

1425
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,640
Speaker 1: be like yo, you know that's that's me what.

1426
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 4: We're talking about before.

1427
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you wasn't in the studio getting that off.

1428
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 1: Man, I would have been right at the point like, yeah, you.

1429
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 2: Know what, that's me right there? All that so that

1430
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 2: flavor you hear right there, that's me.

1431
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just her wrapping along like oh you

1432
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: like you like those?

1433
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 3: Literally you're talking like me now, you're using my slang.

1434
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, answer is the biggest thing I

1435
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 2: had ever did you know.

1436
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 1: I would have done the same, but I wouldn't be magic.

1437
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 4: But you know, never never on record.

1438
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure.

1439
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 3: Listen, man, we we love, we love, we love Drake.

1440
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 2: Man.

1441
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 3: We just you know, this was a conversation that I

1442
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 3: think that a lot of people needed to just hear

1443
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 3: and you know, be a part of we have a

1444
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 3: relationship with Drake. That's our guy. But I think that

1445
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 3: you know, if y'all have had conversations after that, you know,

1446
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 3: maybe this room for a more in depth conversation between

1447
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 3: you two.

1448
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 4: And man, I hope we have it, because you know,

1449
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 4: it's not on my side.

1450
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 2: It's definitely from that side, you know, And I don't

1451
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 2: know what it's about, you know, because the thing that

1452
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 2: confuses me is the getting cool with the dramas to

1453
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,719
Speaker 2: getting cool with the meets. So then like if it's cool,

1454
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 2: then why is it cool? But it's cool with everybody else?

1455
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 2: And then it makes it seem deliberate, like are y'all

1456
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 2: deliberately like.

1457
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 4: They had to have the conversation.

1458
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 2: There's no way today the Kentucky Derby, you know what

1459
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Maybe not the Kentucky Derby, but maybe prior

1460
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 2: to the Derby, that's a way, you know, Like so

1461
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 2: then it's just like for the conclusion to be what

1462
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 2: it was, It's like, where did that come from?

1463
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's what's your relationship like with Wonder right now?

1464
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 2: That's my brother, like man, and you know, I don't

1465
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: know if this interview will affect that, but I.

1466
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Don't think he said anything Wonder.

1467
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Wonder man, he put me on my feet

1468
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 2: multiple times, man, like, great, helped me out.

1469
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 3: Great, got solid.

1470
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only dude that really like, you know, over

1471
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 2: there on that situation with the overo thing.

1472
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 4: It's the only dude that like genuinely gave a fuck

1473
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:29,680
Speaker 4: about me.

1474
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 3: You know, like.

1475
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's that's my guy for life.

1476
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad that's still intact because I mean that was

1477
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: the initial relationship that started, yeah everything.

1478
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 3: And I'm pretty sure you know it affected maybe his

1479
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 3: relationship with Drake a little, but I think that, you know,

1480
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 3: I think it's important, man, just for us to have

1481
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 3: experiences where you know, we feel like things were done

1482
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 3: wrong but didn't have that conversation and if people are

1483
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 3: able to remove their egos and just you know, especially

1484
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 3: as black men. I think it's very important for us

1485
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 3: to do that. We can go through things and have disagreements,

1486
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 3: and maybe you did something that I didn't agree with,

1487
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 3: but if we come together and speak about it and

1488
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 3: there's no egos, I think that you can have a

1489
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 3: healthy conversation and listen, we put shit behind us, Like

1490
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 3: you said, you know, with other people that was involved,

1491
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 3: obviously was a conversation. Things look like they're okay. Now

1492
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 3: patch those relationships up. I don't see why there's not

1493
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 3: room for a Quentin Miller and Drake conversation just as

1494
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 3: men black men. You know, it's just like I think

1495
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 3: it's necessary. We do enough of the splitting and the

1496
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 3: breaking and the beef and and the you know, we

1497
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 3: need more of the Listen, I understand accountability, I fucked

1498
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 3: up here, whatever, whatever, and then move forward.

1499
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 4: Hey man, I'm not against it.

1500
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: What's been your favorite rap albums since twenty fifteen?

1501
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 2: Damn?

1502
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 1: I know it's a lot.

1503
01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 5: Damn.

1504
01:13:57,960 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: We can clean it up if you need a moment,

1505
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 1: because that's yeah, a lot of time. Just because I remember,

1506
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 1: I think the sound drastically changed after If you're reading

1507
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: this is too late, and just that entire year in

1508
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: era of hip hop. So I am curious what you

1509
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 1: gravitated towards after twenty fifteen as a fan outside of

1510
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: the own music you were making.

1511
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 2: Man, that's a lot of that's a lot of albums

1512
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:21,639
Speaker 2: it is. I feel like I'm going to I feel

1513
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:23,600
Speaker 2: like I'm definitely forgetting.

1514
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,679
Speaker 3: Some who do you want a song with? Right now?

1515
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 2: Shoot for the stars? Man. I don't work with Drake Dream.
