14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,560

Speaker 1: Tatum got to have his run. You know, he's having

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,040

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: been seen you fucking court sided all the Celtics games. Yeah,

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: what are those tickets? Run? You? I don't pay? How

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: does that work? It's like you just got to be

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: like really iconic and influential in the city of Boston

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: and then they'll hold you down. It'd be crazy for

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: them to not give you free tickets, right, Yeah. I

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it too much though, you know,

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: because it's like because you don't like, let them think

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: I pay ten thousand to pay ten thousand of pop,

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: so you're getting free tickets square side. That's that's amazing

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: is that through a player, through the pr or somebody

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: at the Celtics, they just know what's up. They're like,

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: we gotta tap in with the hottest rapper now. Honestly, like,

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the greatest things that's ever happened

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: to me in my career as far as like, you know,

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,720

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: and you know everything that comes with rap. But I

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: used to get hype when people would give me a

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,680

Speaker 1: in the balcony right, Yeah. I mean I've sat everywhere,

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: but I never sat court signed until last year, and

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: I was like, this is insane. No, it's different. It's

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: just like, you know, I'm a are you like a

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: die hard basketball fan, I'm a diehard Celtics Fanah, so

58
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: growing up, like you imagine a Celtics fan, and you

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: got to understand, like I really know the experience, Like

60
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm from I'm from two train stops away. So we

61
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: would get on the green line and take it to

62
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: leech Man watch Ron Mercer. Yeah, crazy all that Antoine Walker,

63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: antwoyn Walker Man, shout out to Antoine. That was the

64
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: shots of the Celtics. Man. I remember watching Antoine Walker

65
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: as a kid and then he went to the Timberwolves

66
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: and kind of flaked out. But you know what was

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: great about the Antoine Walker jersey is when what's his

68
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: name the other Walker came to the semble walk Kemba came,

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: it was the same number, same last names. He could

70
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: bust out the o G Antoine Walker jersey. It's the

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: same thing. It's fire it was. That was like a

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: short lived moment, but kind of a travesty that Antoine

73
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: Walker's jersey isn't retired because he kind of was like

74
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: the best player on the Celtics for at least four years.

75
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah he made the All Star team. Hell yeah,

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I think he made the All start to Walker wig

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: You remember to Walker Wiggle? No, I just remember m

78
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: m yeah. So listen, man, uh, how many blancos are

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: you going to do? Seven? Seven? I'm capping it that

80
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: seven is that because it's like just it just feels right.

81
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: I Mean, God created the world in six days and

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: rested on the seventh. Mmm, you had that god number,

83
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's the god number. You have a seven

84
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: on your face as yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a dad

85
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: of that seven seven. All right, this new uh Blanco?

86
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: You somehow got a stand interpolation cleared? Yeah, what is

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: the process of getting Eminem clearance? So the process of

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: getting an Eminem clearance is not getting Eminem to clear it,

89
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: it's getting Dido to clear it. Because it was her

90
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: vocal and it was her sample, nothing off of the

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: stand sample. So when I came out with the ship

92
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: like and told everybody, I'm like, I just cleared the

93
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: stand sample because to me, those words people don't know

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: that that she was. That song was her sample that

95
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: she said for her. So basically how it happened, I was,

96
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: I was out here in l A. I laid the song,

97
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, just on some freestyle shit because I'm really independent,

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: so I don't know how it goes without clearing samples.

99
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: I stay away from all of that, you know what

100
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean. I never even thought it would be possible.

101
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: So I laid the song my man Tens just on

102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: the iPhone real quick, did a video of me like

103
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: singing and shit, in the crib and you know, it

104
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: got millions of views online, so my distribution perfect Time Music.

105
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: They were like hitting me, like, yo, this shit got motion.

106
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: I think we should try to clear it, and I'm like,

107
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: go ahead. And he found some lady who knows about

108
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: clearing samples, and then she got it to Dido and

109
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: Dito okated, you know, took a little percentage of the

110
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: record and yeah, and we had it. So a lot

111
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: of my fans were mad because the song was like short,

112
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: but that's the way that I did it in the

113
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: studio because I'm like this like a freestyle for me

114
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: to listen to her like to put out on YouTube.

115
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: So by the time I got this sample cleared, I'm like,

116
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm gonna just put it out in his

117
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: raw form, and I did an extended version that comes

118
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: with the albums. That's the process of getting an Eminem

119
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: sample cleared. Just just get one of the records that

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: he sampled, so you don't have to know. Yeah, it'd

121
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: be like if someone's tried to clear sing for the moment,

122
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: be like, it's not an Eminem song, it's an Arrowsmith. Yeah,

123
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: but I would still say I cleared the sing for

124
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: the moment sample. Oh man, you and Ray Sherman got

125
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: a song coming, so maybe me and Swale we got

126
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: a diss record coming against against Jimmy. That was kind

127
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: of a weird thing. Man. I saw that, I was like,

128
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: why the fuck was somebody? And I know Jimmy, He's

129
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: a good dude. I just I just didn't understand, Like,

130
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's just a way to promote your

131
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: own ship, but I don't understand the thought process of

132
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: shitting on somebody else to promote your own ship. You

133
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: know what it was? I think I think my ship

134
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: was getting traction, like my ship was having motion online,

135
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: Like well, damn, we kind of thing the album that

136
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: was their rollout, like we cleared the stand sample. But

137
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: I'm a marketing guys, so I already know that. So

138
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: as soon as as soon as I cleared it, I

139
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: put it out there, and you know, sites at rap

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: started picking it up and it started going crazy. And

141
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: the next day I saw like Sway Lee's camp pushing

142
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: his ship on Twitter. Sway Lee cleared the same I'm like,

143
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: oh no, they're panicking. They must have saw my my

144
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: joint out there, and uh, that's when my ship kept

145
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: going crazy on academics and this, and it helps and

146
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: it just helps your ship. Yeah, Slim Jimmy rolled about

147
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: it and it brought more a win and so you know,

148
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Solution and I really liked them as a group. I

149
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: talked to sway Lee. You know, sway Lee's cool and

150
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: I could never have beef with like Ray Trema. That's

151
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: like being a bully like that. Yeah, you know whos

152
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: on the new album. I got g Herbo on there.

153
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,280

00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: I wrote my ship right there. I got to feel dope, man,

188
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: because like you are not a new artist by any means.

189
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Like it's like I'm not a new artist, but I'm

190
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: a brand new artist. But we told the story before,

191
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Like I met you at south By Southwest in like

192
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: two thousand. Yeah, I remember I was walking home in fourteen.

193
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: Probably I was walking home in the streets drunk. Nobody

00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: at the same hotel, No, I think you Yeah, yeah,

198
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,360

199
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: walking down Sixth Street right lost. Yeah, I remember walking

200
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: down Sixth Street and nobody knowing me. You know a

201
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: lot of less towers, like yeah, a lot of less tattoos,

202
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: but just nobody knew me anyway. Now they recognized me

203
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: through the mass. I'd be having a shisty mask like this,

204
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: hands in my pockets, ship like this, and they like

205
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: mills and be like wow, bro. But yeah, I remember

206
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: I remember seeing you because I was walking down Sixth Street.

207
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: You know, I said, that's pool Calf. I forget even

208
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: where I knew you from, but I was kind of

209
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: like back then, I was like on the blogs, allied

210
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: with my interviews and shit like two Dope boy days.

211
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: That's why I love seeing your shit go up because

212
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: even at the time, to me, you were like popping, right,

213
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So you really popping. But

214
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: it's got to feel good to be on such a

215
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: long journey of being up by taking this Rapture series

216
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: to end up doing you know, records with some legends

217
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: and then obviously Lincoln with Snoop Dog, and you know

218
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, there's like I feel like you've

219
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: had so many moments in the last couple of years

220
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: where like, you know, do you feel like validated. I

221
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: know you've always know, but like to kind of get

222
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: the peers to kind of get that co sign that's

223
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: got to mean a lot, man. Yeah, I picked up

224
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot of cosine, like I picked up a lot

225
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: of co signs in rap. But then like I got

226
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: co signed by the money, That's what That's the one thing,

227
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't turning the profit from this shit. Yeah,

228
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: you were kind of doing it. I was doing it

229
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: just getting by like I would make money. I've been

230
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: getting paid for features for twelve thirteen years, right, you

231
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean? That would you say? That was

232
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: kind of more of the bread and the butter, like

233
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: I could get features I'm doing. It wasn't get hot,

234
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't no real money, you know. And the second

235
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: I did get a little real money, I just put

236
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: more back into myself. The pandemic did it for me

237
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: for real. But like I would say, like, yeah, the

238
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: validation from you know, whether it's like you know, I'm

239
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: signing to kiss and I'm like Snoop is like a

240
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: big supporter of mine and all these guys in the game,

241
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, and and so so it's that, But then

242
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: it's I see it reflecting in my bank account, like

243
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: I got accountants now and ship, and I'll be like damn,

244
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: like I really made it, Like I shed a tear

245
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: on a plane one time, like for real, Like I

246
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: just had a crazy day and I just shed a tear,

247
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: like I couldn't believe it, like because I was really thinking,

248
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: I can't believe that I was dumb enough to believe

249
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: in this ship that I made happen, Like yeah, but

250
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: it's hard work. Yeah, it's hard work and sacrifice, and

251
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes you just got to be dumb

252
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: enough to believe, you know, if that makes sense. Yeah,

253
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: that's the real shit. I mean, you had a lot

254
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: of I feel like you had a lot of like

255
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: like uphill battles to fight being the white dude wrapping

256
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: about street ship. Yo, bro, it's almost impossible. It's like

257
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: an uphill battle on roller skates when you think about it, Like,

258
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: because I'm actually doing something that's never been done correct,

259
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Because you know, we know all the different type of

260
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: rappers that came through hip hop, and it's never been

261
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: a white rapper with the streak content to run around

262
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: with jewelry on, really in the trenches, really moving around,

263
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: really co signed by the right people like that. It

264
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: just hasn't happened ever ever ever. You know, there's nothing

265
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: close to it, except if you're looking at like my guy,

266
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: like like Paul Wall in Houston, but his content was

267
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: more that Houston content. It was like it wasn't like

268
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: my ship. I'm telling intricate street stories to the point

269
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: where I'm talking about nationwide, whether we're in Chicago, Minnesota, Cyprus,

270
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: projects in East New York, wherever, the fuck we at.

271
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: I got real street people Miami, the killers come to

272
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: me and say, Bro, I fuck with your shits so

273
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: hard the way that you yeah, the way that you

274
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: break shit down, Like I'm really embraced in the trenches nationwide.

275
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: And no, it's ill because because nobody would have like

276
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: people used to think like this shit was impossible. And

277
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm still not, Like I've never had an editorial playlisting

278
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: on Spotify like that. Really, Hell no, bro, I got

279
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: six hund than fifty thousand, So there's still things that

280
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: give me, Like I love Spotify, and I know y'all

281
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: will give me all of my It's coming instant because

282
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: I learned to not be the rapper like to learn

283
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: a bridge and complain. So I'm not complaining. I'm just

284
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: saying the other rappers three million on Spotify, Yeah, I

285
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: got six hundred and fifty thousand without one with one

286
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: percent editorial playlisting. Right, My shit's a little different, you

287
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's I mean, you're about to

288
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: headline a tour, yeah, and I'm about to sell out

289
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: a tour across the country hard tickets. So I had

290
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: to do all my shit. keV I swear to God,

291
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: I had to do all my shit by just showing

292
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: and proving because the industry did not fuck with me.

293
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something I never told anybody in life.

294
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: No major label ever reached out or showed interest in me. Never. Never,

295
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: Still to this day, I used to lie about it. Okay, No,

296
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: there's interest today. Of course there is today. On God

297
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: in Heaven, there's an interest today. But I used to

298
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: lie about it my whole career. I swear to God,

299
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: just to people, though, you know, just be like I'd

300
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: be in an interview. They'd be like, yo, so anything going, yeah,

301
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: you know a couple of majors interesting? Lie yeah, like

302
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: or I used to, you know, chill with girls and

303
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, so you know Atlantic Records they were

304
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,360
