156
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: what I wanted to say is you gave Dunkey the

157
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Day to the cast me out girl. Well to Atlantic

158
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: Records for giving her a record deal. Yes, and I

159
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: feel you on that because the only Jay called record

160
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: deal we all know because she had her fifteen minutes

161
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: and she's extending it for half an hour. But I'm

162
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: not a Cardi b fan. I would be Cardi be

163
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: fan when she was on Love and Hip Hop because

164
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: her personality was I redo Rosie Perez from the nineties.

165
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: That's my opinion. I know, I'm I stand alone in

166
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: many areas with that. That's not a God is amazing. Yeah,

167
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Rogie Perez's phenomenal. She was a phenomenal dancer before jay

168
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Loo came in equipsed her. But what I'm saying is

169
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: the same way cash Me Our Girl got a record

170
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: deal because kind of how it Cardie B is cashing

171
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: in on her face. I can't agree with that, my brother,

172
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: because you look out cash Me our Girl got introduced

173
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: to the game. She got introduced by disrespecting doctor Phil.

174
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: So we're rewarding on the bad behavior. He says nasty

175
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: things about people all the time on social media, and

176
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: he gets rewarded for being a nasty is actually funny

177
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Cardi B. Cardi B came to notoriety by being over

178
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: the top on love and hip hop, and I know

179
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: that before that, card to be at four million five

180
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: million follows on Instagram by being funny on Instagram, giving

181
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: positive messages in a ratchet way and doing sketches like

182
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: she was always money. She was always showcasing a different attack.

183
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: But that's kind of pooling my point though, that her

184
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: personality is what God has a deal because it was

185
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: her personality on Instagram. It was her personality on loving.

186
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: We're talking about rewoiding negativity. Yeah, cast me out girl,

187
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: don't have a personality. She's just a bad, a terrible.

188
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: But let's be honest, cast me out girl, she's gonna

189
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: flame out. Nobody's gonna buy that crap, I know. Then again,

190
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: but then again, and this is me because I'm from

191
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: the golden l of hip hop. Some people might buy

192
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: it because I don't like ninety percent of the new

193
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: autist because they're not going away. I used to buy

194
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: all envies mixed cvs before I moved here to Atlanta

195
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,440

254
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: do anything I didn't want to do. Like I remember

255
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: going in early before I got with nine, and I

256
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: met this manager and I just got off work and

257
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: he looked me up and down. He was like, Oh,

258
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna doll you up, put you in hills, and

259
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I was like, that's not the ninth has never ever come.

260
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: It's always about the music, just making me the best

261
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: rapper that he can make me. And he's kind of like,

262
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do, you know, saying with Guru,

263
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: we sat down together and he was like, early on

264
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: to find your line. Things you don't want to do,

265
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, how far you want to go? Do that now?

266
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: And this was early, like twenty ten, they had this

267
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: talk with me. So, you know, I always wonder about

268
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: rappers like you because you are very, very good and

269
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: on the song or laylists wisdom. You see, I'm the

270
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: better version of what you used to call talent, Like,

271
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: is it a good time a bad time to be

272
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: a talented MC? Right now? I think it's a great time.

273
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: It's a great time. I think it's one of the

274
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: best times in hip hop that we've had. Um. So

275
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm excited. You can. You can see

276
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: it across the board. You know, not only with women.

277
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: There's so many women now popping up. If you think

278
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: about it, I mean you have Nikki, you have Cardi B,

279
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: you have Myself, you have tink Remy like who am

280
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: I I'm forget a whole lot of people, but um,

281
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: so many. But even when you're talking about guys, you know,

282
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: there was a time when people were saying South is

283
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: running the hip hop, but now you have the West

284
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: Coast doing that thing. Now you have New York um kamya,

285
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: big crit in the South and everything. So it's just

286
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: a great time for music. Chance everybody's different to it

287
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: right out their own style. So you know, I think

288
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: it's an amazing time for music and to be a

289
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: talented artist. It's like the wave is really changing and

290
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: people care now. Lys I feel like with female mcs,

291
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: like people can say that like it can only be

292
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: one at a time, like you see it. Why is that?

293
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: I think I don't know what happened, like because it

294
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: didn't start like that when you had mc lyon and

295
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: Queen Latifa and Missy and Lauren Kim and Foxy. It

296
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: seemed like right after Lauren, like around the late nineties

297
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: early two thousands, it became this thing where there can

298
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: only be one. But you think, so Laurence at the

299
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: bar extremely high man. Maybe uh that might Yeah. I

300
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: don't really know what happened though, But it also even

301
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: MC don't they don't really female. She doesn't really rock

302
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: with each other. Like I'm listening to Cardi D's remix

303
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, it'd be dope if they put

304
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of females on it. I'm like, but they

305
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: don't really don't mess with each other like that, like

306
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, well, no, I don't know about that. Some

307
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: people do support each other. I think sometimes the beef

308
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: is because the industry creates that and the and the

309
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: fans create that. They always act like you have to

310
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: choose a side. Yeah, you have to pick a side,

311
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: get it all the time. When you're gonna go at

312
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: such and such, I'm like, well, I gotta do that,

313
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Like you don't do that with the guys. Guys work

314
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: with each other all the time. They compete, but at

315
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: the same time, they respect each other. And I think,

316
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's reality show that has something

317
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: to do with people are just really in tune with

318
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: drama nowadays and that's what they want. And you know,

319
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, we there's room for everybody at the same time,

320
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: so you know, it's just amazing. I think rapper is though,

321
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Like when I listen to you, I don't hear a

322
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: female rapper. I'm just like, she's just dope. Same thing

323
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: with things I listen to things, She's just just dope.

324
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Like I That's when I know when a female MC

325
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: is like, well, can't just be an MC Like Doctor

326
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: J said, you're his favorite female MC, but why can't

327
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: it just be one of my favorite MCDs? Right, It's like, yeah,

328
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a woman at the end of the day.

329
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: It's it's just dope or not dope, you know what

330
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like I tell people, it's not like sports,

331
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: like we are physically very different, like you could probably

332
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: jump hi, are you stronger than me? But when it

333
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: comes to oh you see he's Carolina, guys, exactly, we

334
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: got magical powers fifty seven inch vertically about this bitch, right,

335
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you we gotta have to go to the

336
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: court and see this more previously previously exactly. See you

337
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: know it ain't like spun over here. But you know

338
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to these lyrics and being an artist's

339
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: all up here creativity, and I think it's an even

340
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: playing field, right, And it's not like we're rapping about

341
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: having that period is exactly, but no, but some women

342
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: do and that's when, Yeah, it's honest, like come on,

343
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: let's like think about when you're in the club and

344
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Little Kim record dropping that beat, but then you're here

345
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: used to be scared, you kind of check it out,

346
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: you try to check it out. I remember, not mind anyway,

347
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: North Carolina historically has always had some great mcas though,

348
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: which people don't expectcause it's south of the Mason Dixie,

349
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: like like you have Fontaine Pool, Jake, Josie Move. You

350
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like, like why why doesn't know?

351
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: Can I get the recognition for lyrics lyrics like like

352
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: they should? Man, Honestly, that's a hard question to answer,

353
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to figure that out myself, Like I

354
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: don't know if it's because it's like not a major city,

355
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: like it's not a big New York or LA or Chicago. Um,

356
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: you know. But also when you go home, you don't

357
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: hear North Carolina artists on the radio. Yeah, you don't

358
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: get that support, So that definitely has something to do

359
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: with it. Like just people home support and Homie they

360
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: don't even they gotta serve for home really hard. And

361
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: for the people that work nine to five and have kids,

362
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: they don't have time to search, so you know, they

363
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: missed out on all this talent that's right in their backyard.

364
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: So you know, I think that has something to do

365
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: with it. All Right, We got more with Rahpsody when

366
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: we come back, don't Move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning,

367
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,

368
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: the guy we are The Breakfast Club. Rhapsody is in

369
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: the building female MC she gets busy yee. Do you

370
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: think about songs on the radio when you did your album,

371
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: because you said you had eighty songs recorded, did you say, Okay,

372
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: this actually would sound good. Did you think about that

373
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: at all? I think after the record was done and

374
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: we narrated down to fourteen, we went through a listen

375
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: and then it was like, this one could work. You know,

376
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: there's one called Sassy that could work. It could have

377
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: a place going into it. You know. I didn't think

378
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: about it as much. If anything, I experimented on you know,

379
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: there was a period where it's like, let me not

380
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: be so lyrical and you know, play with lady and yeah,

381
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: just to just to have fun yeah um, you know,

382
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: but not lose myself at the same time. Like it

383
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: was more of me really pushing myself to figure out

384
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: like how can I fit into this space, but at

385
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: the same time still be myself. No, No, Chrome was

386
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: I thought Chrome was not lyrical, like that was easy. Fassy,

387
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: I think was to push and pay up. You know,

388
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: those were the were to push it. And there are

389
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: a few more that you know beat wise too. People

390
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect me to wrap on that didn't make the album,

391
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: but we haven't the vote. So I just went in

392
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: and just really didn't box myself and it's just like

393
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in here and have fun and see

394
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: what happens. Like even with Sassy, like I have so

395
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: much respect for people like me goos and because there's

396
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: a science to making radio records, to making something simple

397
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: that people can easily like, there's a science to that

398
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: get mess they say hypnotic. My thing is lyricism, Like

399
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: that's that's my science. So it's just like, yo, how

400
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: can I figure out this hook? So with Sassy, I

401
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: was like, I'm I had heard that. I can't remember

402
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: what artists, but I heard that they go in and

403
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: freestyle a lot of time. It was like they all,

404
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: I say they do that. It was since they heard

405
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: Jay and Biggs. They and it kind of works and

406
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: it makes it like real catchy because it's just natural.

407
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: So with the hook for Sassy, I tried that and

408
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: it kind of worked like that, and I was like, okay,

409
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, and I never did before, no, no, no,

410
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: but I went and definitely have fun with on chrome.

411
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: You say dangerous to measure a man by the side

412
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: of this, can you explain here's a small penis. So

413
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: he really about his penis size old day every day

414
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: on the radio and how small it is. But it's

415
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: seven inches three four eight when it's woman. It has

416
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the question. Okay, yeah, all right,

417
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: cock size is that Let's go with the feat side.

418
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: What's I sure you where does that? Okay? Yeah, that's

419
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of too with what he's saying. I'm not

420
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna go there, but um, it's you know, men like this,

421
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, swing that thing around. But it's not about

422
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: you know, I think size as far as you know,

423
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: your fame and your money, as what makes you the man.

424
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, how you're a leader. You

425
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: know what kind of what's what's what's the metal of you?

426
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: What's your loyalty? Like, what's your respect like to other

427
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: men and to women? That's what makes you a man.

428
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: Like I think about Jay for example, and you know,

429
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: I just look at how he leads into people that

430
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: he brings up with him, Like that's what I respect.

431
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Like Jay brings people with him. I look at rock

432
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: Nation out how he's built that and how he supports

433
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: puff with so Iroq, and he won't have a white

434
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: liquor because he don't want to compete, Like, those are

435
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: the things you respect about people, not his size, not

436
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: his side. I mean he has wrapped about the side

437
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: of his like a baby arm. He's like, you did

438
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: say that, So he's got the best of both works.

439
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lead at the met don't know how did

440
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: you hook up with ninfe one it because I'm sure

441
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: there's a million and one of MSCs, like how did

442
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: you get his air? And how did you get the

443
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: rock Nation? How anybody that meet's ninth they know, like

444
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: how humble he is is like if you see him

445
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: walking down the street, you can easily stop him and

446
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: he'll have a conversation with you if he has a time.

447
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: So with me, Um, I was in college with a

448
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: group of friends and somebody you know that was in

449
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,000

00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: He was like, well, you know, I got a crew,

453
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: come meet my crew. And nine was like okay, And

454
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: it was about twenty of us in a in an

455
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: old house in North Carolina, you know, the college college

456
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: kids ran out. Um in this one room and he

457
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: just came by and talk to us about the business,

458
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, about menstrual show, and he listened to our

459
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: music and that's that's how it all started. He looked

460
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: at me said you're a star, and that was it.

461
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: That was it. Now, how did you and Kendrick becoming

462
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: so because he's done times for you, he's on this

463
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: new album and you were also wanting to Pimpa Butterfly,

464
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: I think you might have got Kendrick on this one.

465
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: I ain't gonlying Kendrick versus Phenomenal. I'm telling you on

466
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: power Kendrick Versus Phenomenal. But I was like I rewinded

467
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: Joe Brosus back a couple of times questions about this record.

468
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: But did that relationship flourish? Just out of respect for

469
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: one another? Um we met them, I want to say

470
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: it was like twenty ten Um. You know, first of all,

471
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: they grew up on Little Brothers, so they were like

472
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: wonder fans you know of gate Um, and we were

473
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: just in love with their music. Like I think the

474
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: first project I got on was overly dedicated, like that

475
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: was my first introduction. So at the first time, you know,

476
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: they were just in North Carolina. They came by the

477
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: studio and we didn't even do music, like we chilled.

478
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: We went to cookout. I got a five dollar trade.

479
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I was like, I mean,

480
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, if Carolina, we gotta take you by absolutely.

481
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: So it was just a thing like that, Like you know,

482
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: we respected each other as artists and people, and um

483
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, we just continue to build on that and

484
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: send music back and forth, and we just created this relationship.

485
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: It's easy. We respect each other, you know, and it's

486
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: just that easy. That's what it is. Now. Your two

487
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: verses on power phenomenal? Did you send those to Kendrick

488
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: and didn't lay his vocals? I did? I sent him.

489
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: I sent him five records. He's gonna get one. I

490
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: didn't know. He's not like that anybody. I definitely gave

491
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: him some options because he's so versatile. You never know

492
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: what kind of space he's in. Um So I was

493
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: just like, I'm gonna send these five. You see, if

494
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: you hear something you like. I appreciate the blessings. So

495
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, Power was one of them, and you should

496
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: know what's the other. He just didn't have time to

497
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: get to. You should know, but that's why he went

498
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: so crazy on power because your verses on that song phenomenal.

499
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: So I'm like he went crazy like Jamaican accent, like

500
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Kendrick really all right, well, let's get into raps of

501
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: these joints right now. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne,

502
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club Rhapsody is in

503
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: the building, Charlomagne. Like what is power to you? Though?

504
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: Like power man, power to me is for one, I

505
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: think knowing who you are first, you got to know yourself,

506
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, before you know what to do with your

507
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: own power, you gotta love yourself, you know, respect, you know,

508
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: as power as women bringing life into this world. Some

509
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: people put power in money. That's never been my thing,

510
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: but I think, you know, people are gonna find power

511
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: in different things. Some people put power in God, you know.

512
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: So power comes in different forms, and I think that's

513
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: what the record is about, Like what do you what

514
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: do you take then and give your time to put

515
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: power and energy into Some of it is negative and

516
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: some things a positive that can really build from you.

517
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: So that was just the whole idea of the record. Like,

518
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, as a woman and I think it's powerful

519
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: that I'm a woman. I could bring life into this world.

520
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: And you know, people like to say women are emotional,

521
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: but that's also powerful. I can connect with you on

522
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: a whole another level that sometimes men don't tap unto.

523
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: They can't connect with um. You know that's that's power

524
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: to me, you know, just recognizing what is what is

525
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: your power? Now? You mentioned Kendrick and you mentioned whole earlier.

526
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: Who is your favorite MC? Who did you grow up

527
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: listening to? Oh? Lauren and jay Z equally equally had

528
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: the biggest influence on me. Lauren, you know, one because

529
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: she was a female and she was so versatile and

530
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: she was out rapping guys, best rapper in a group

531
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: of two guys, and I'm like, shout out the pride

532
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: ghetto superstar still baby, but she barred you up. I'm

533
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: just gonna say, but um, but it was it was

534
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: dope too because she was a tomboy and I could

535
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: relate that I was. I was a tomboy, but with

536
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: miss education too, she could flip it and also be like, yeah,

537
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: I have a beautiful body too. Like there was this

538
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: beautiful balance and honesty and Lauren music that I love

539
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: and you think about lost ones. You know, she she

540
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: talked about it from a male and a female perspective,

541
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: So it's just like, you know, I'm touching on everything.

542
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be able to relate because I hear a

543
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: lot of times like gods say I can't relate to

544
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: a female rapper, Like that's not true. I listen to

545
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: your music and I'm not a man, right, exactly like

546
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: X Factor that song, I think everybody that has to

547
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: this day, right, and even hate that. I mean I

548
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: hated it because my mom just was going through a

549
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: divorce with my father and she would play that record

550
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: over and that is that's what I got older, Like,

551
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: when I got older, I realized, like I can't stand

552
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: this record because I realized that I thought she was

553
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: just cool back in the day, playing Lauren Hill like

554
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: she was in pain. Yeah, so I get that's what

555
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: music though. You attach it to a memory, That's what

556
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: it's supposed to do. But yeah, that it was Lauren

557
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: And even I read Dacoda and Jay talks about how

558
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: much Miseducation influenced him. So I just thought that was

559
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: really dope, Like that a woman, you know, influence you

560
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: like that um. And then Jay just for the lyricism,

561
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: like his wordplay, what he does with metaphors. Um, he's

562
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: to go. Man, what do you think of his last albums?

563
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: I love him so personal? How do you feel about

564
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: being really personal? Like is this new album as far

565
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: as you are? You because I haven't heard it yet

566
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 1: because let me send it to you, were like, Yo,

567
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: what you're doing? He was like, I'm listening to the

568
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's one of my favorite records. One of

569
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: my favorite records is the last song. I't is It

570
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,719
Speaker 1: sometimes very scary to be so vulnerable and like just

571
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: put some things out there and yeah, definitely react. Yeah,

572
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm human. I'm not gonna be that rappid. It's like, nah,

573
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: I ain't scared. Yeah, it's scary sometimes, and I think

574
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: it's more scary today because of social media and the Internet.

575
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: Anything put out there, you know it's gonna be picked

576
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: apart instantly. You know, people gonna run with it and

577
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna live forever. So you know, you you double,

578
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: you definitely think about like do I want to tell

579
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: the story and make sure I tell it in a

580
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: way that's that's just right. Um. You know when you're

581
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: just supposed to do what feels right. However that comes

582
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: out comes out, you know, and and you might go

583
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: back and like I wish I never made that song,

584
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: but at the time, that's just the space you win

585
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: and that's honest. Um. So yeah, I definitely think about it, um,

586
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: And I'm getting more comfortable with being more personal. I

587
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: think this album, you know, I'm definitely grew in that

588
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 1: in that part. But you know, has anybody ever approached

589
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: you to write for them? Grand Hill? That's about it? Yeah, yeah,

590
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: how old Grant Hill when he came to you to

591
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,520

Speaker 1: you today from Friday, September twenty second goes to an

623
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: Indiana man named Sean Harris. Now, Sean Harris is thirty

624
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: three years old, and he clearly makes poor choices in life.

625
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: See authorities say that Sean robbed the gas station. Look

626
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: listen to me. Words means something. Okay, I need you

627
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: all to really listen. He robbed a gas station, not

628
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: a bank, not a liquor store, a gas station, okay.

629
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: He stole food, which I'm sure was hot pockets and

630
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: pork rins. He stole drinks, which I'm sure was all

631
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: the butt ice he could carry. And he stole cigarettes,

632
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: which I'm sure with newports. Now Sean walked into this store,

633
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: implied that he had a gun and took all the

634
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: pickled eggs and backwards the store had. And then before

635
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: he could make it a few miles, he was caught.

636
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: Would you like to know how he was caught? Well,

637
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked ANGELI. After robbing a gas station

638
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: and taking food, alcohol, and cigarettes, Sean Harris was caught

639
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: by police because he ran out of gas. A state

640
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: trooper found him scramming by the side of a two

641
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: lane highway with his vehicle out of gas and a

642
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: blood alcohol level way above the legal limit. Do you

643
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: run out of gas after you rob a gas station?

644
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: I used to steal gas back in the day. None

645
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: of you, all of us stas hard to steal gas

646
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: in New York? Yeah, how do you steal gas? I've

647
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: never done it easy to steal gas in the country

648
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: because back in the day, they would let you pump

649
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: the gas before. Okay, can you pump the gas? And

650
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: then you absolutely Now I don't know what racist man is,

651
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,840

Speaker 1: what race it is? Now we heard the context clues.

653
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: He robbed the gas station, stole food, alcohol, and cigarettes,

654
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: and then got caught because he took everything from the

655
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,840

855
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,600

869
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: You know that's how I know you're a really decent

870
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: human being. Because I was actually listening to Oprah's Super

871
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: Soul podcast this morning. Yeah guy who she had on there,

872
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: But they were talking about how the essence of life,

873
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: the essence of being human, is realizing other people's pain

874
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: and coming to the aid of others who are in pain.

875
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, no matter who who, no

876
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: matter who the person is, what their background is, what

877
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: they do. You just saw a human being in paid

878
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: and you reacted, Oh yeah, absolutely. I can't even imagine,

879
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: Like I'll just be thinking to myself, like because I

880
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: went through a lot of you know, suicidal feelings and thoughts,

881
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: you know, through twenty sixteen too, So I can only

882
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: imagine because I mean, just all of the you know,

883
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: it's it's the trauma from watching people murdered on television consistently,

884
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: and then just all just so many other things too.

885
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: I had It was a you got a gun point

886
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: on you by a police officer too, it did? You

887
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: got all the ever think that you, of all people,

888
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: would have sooner seems like you're the closest to to

889
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: to God. Yeah, much as you read. But I'm a

890
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: real one on man, I don't mind being real. I

891
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: think that's the problem is that it's this misconception that like,

892
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, God's people are these picture

893
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: perfect folks. You know what I'm saying. If anything, we're

894
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: the most we should be the most vulnerable, the most

895
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: who are like, listen, I know I'm jacked up. I

896
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: know I need God. I don't. I don't claim to

897
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: have it all together. So for me, you know, it

898
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: wasn't like I had a knife to my neck, but

899
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: it was just like, man, I'm just tired, you know

900
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm just tired of all the nonsense.

901
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: And it's it's not like I was like, all I'm

902
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: about to do this, Because when you stop and think about,

903
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: like anybody who's ever considering suicide, I always think about

904
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna find your body? You know what I'm saying.

905
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be your kids, It's gonna be you know

906
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: your love, when's your mamma, somebody got it's gonna face

907
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,959
Speaker 1: the trauma seeing your body land somewhere on the ground.

908
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: So I don't ever, ever, like always consider that. But

909
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: long story short, I just went through so much and

910
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 1: then and then just all the scrutiny and when your whole,

911
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: when you start mixing faith and all that stuff into

912
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: it and just get real ugly and weird and twisted.

913
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 1: I you know, I see understand. I'm just saying because remember,

914
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: at one point in my life I thought about suicide.

915
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: And it was when I was doing youth ministry at

916
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 1: Muhammed Moss and number thirty eight in Columbia, South Carolina.

917
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: I was really trying to be on the righteous path.

918
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: And I had him a nag tie with these two chicks,

919
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: so seriously, I got drunk, had them talk so bad.

920
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, I didn't he disobeyed God,

921
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: So y'all didn't got shook. But what got you at

922
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: that dog place? You at the dog plays? What got

923
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: you out of it? Obviously cliche is God? But I

924
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: got three really good friends men shout out to b

925
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: j at Tadashi man who just held me down. And

926
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: they wasn't trying to fix me. They just was trying

927
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: to face me. Everybody be trying to fix you know,

928
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: you're like, damn, I'm tired of it. You know, you're

929
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: talking real sideways, you're talking outside of your neck time.

930
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: And they don't say, you know, brother, you need to

931
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: you know, think on the right right way. They were

932
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: just like, I feel you, bro. You know what I'm saying.

933
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: I feel you. You know, keep keep talking, like let's

934
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: keep wrestling through it. And yeah, and sometimes that's what

935
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: we need. And you also feel like in the church

936
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: they should have something to do with the politics of

937
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: everything that's happening today. Oh yeah, that's that's really what

938
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: what what God had popped off for me was like

939
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: the silence, and you know a lot of people look

940
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: at me and like, oh, you love God. So it's

941
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: the whole Like and I've had this conversation a million times,

942
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: but like, you know, me, loving God doesn't doesn't make me,

943
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, uh, a conservative, Republican or whatever. You know

944
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I think that's the mentality people

945
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: like like, stop talking about politics. I'm like, I'm talking

946
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: about tame or Rice. That's a person that ain't politics.

947
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what are you talking

948
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: about that? So that isn't vocal enough about situations like

949
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: that you feel? I mean, by and large, I think

950
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: that you know, a lot of people have been vocal.

951
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people have done a lot of great stuff.

952
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: You know, shout out to like Pastor McCamy in uh

953
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. Who's who's been real vocal about

954
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. It's been a lot of vocal people.

955
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, it was really folks who

956
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: their faith is connected to patriotism and nationalism. Mine is not.

957
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like right, Like I don't

958
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: like God. I don't God ain't here to to save America,

959
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: you to save the world, you know what I'm saying.

960
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: So that's my whole thing is like I'm I'm not

961
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: anti American, but I'm not like my faith and patriotism

962
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: and I'm not I don't believe all that type of

963
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: weird stuff. So that's what got me in a lot

964
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: of tension. That's why I love when natural disasters happened.

965
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: I hate when they happened for the obvious reasons. Yeah,

966
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: but I love when they happen because it shows us

967
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: that there's something bigger than us' is not prejudiced. You

968
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: don't care what you what political party, is your racist gender, sexuality?

969
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: Nothing coming and get you boy, trees falling everything. It's

970
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: a problem for people that don't know because I can't

971
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: remember what got you in the Christian rep. I can't remember.

972
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: I know you used to sell drugs and you said

973
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: you were broke, Like what made you say? You know what?

974
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: I'm not turning that way anymore. Um, young lady who

975
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: was having sex with the church, that's your story, that's

976
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: not one that's in the movie version. No, for real,

977
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: For me, it was I'm a product of hip hop,

978
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: so I'm a hip hop kid. I didn't grow up

979
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: in church. I didn't know church lingo. I still don't know.

980
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't know when you raise your hand, shout, scream,

981
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know all that stuff. But I really did

982
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: have a real encounter with God. And that's something I

983
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: can't deny. You know what I'm saying, Like I met

984
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 1: Jesus and my life really was transformed. And so where'd

985
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: you meet him? Like and like I shook his hand?

986
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: But but everybody had Nah, But for me. So I

987
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: was in that. So this is real life. I'm in Atlanta.

988
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: I get invited to this conference and um, I see people.

989
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: It's Christians and I don't know, I'm like Christians away

990
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: at yeah, I've been rapping all of that whatever. Yeah,

991
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: just yeah, yeah. So I see these Christians and I'm like,

992
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: I thought Christians was supposed to be. I wasn't no

993
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: gangster type of dude. I was just a you know,

994
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: young dude trying to make it in life, you know

995
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: if you feel me. So uh, but I see these

996
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: Christians and I thought They're supposed to be suit and

997
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: tied and all like hey, brother lest in a Holly

998
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: favorite and it was just regular dudes. They looked like

999
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: everybody sitting in this room. So I'm like, Yo, these

1000
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 1: are regular people, Like what's going on? You know, hats

1001
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: to the back of the whole nine and um. And

1002
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: it was a group of dudes from Philly called Cross

1003
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: Movement and it was like a Christian rap group, but

1004
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: they was raw. They was like from the hood in Philly,

1005
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, Yo, what is this And just

1006
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: being exposed to that helped me say like, oh, like

1007
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: it ain't just you know, like the bishop in the

1008
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: whole nine like, it's different variations of this. So then

1009
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: I just heard a message and the pastor was preaching

1010
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: this message and he was talking to me and saying like,

1011
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: don't you call Jesus no pump like you rough knicks,

1012
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, Like he was this,

1013
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, I never heard nothing like

1014
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: this before. So it just it flipped my brain and

1015
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 1: just made me say, yo, I like I can be different.

1016
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: I could be changed. So that was the breaking point

1017
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: for me. I'm not saying I was changed overnight, but

1018
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: it But from then all my raps sounded different. I

1019
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about other issues and real stuff, you

1020
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And that's really how it came about.

1021
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: I didn't have no genre. It wasn't like I was like, Yo,

1022
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: let's let's go gospel on. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

1023
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: It was just I was just changing what I was

1024
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: talking about, and now it came out, you know what

1025
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, other artists you feel like you couldn't

1026
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: work with because your fan base would be like, I

1027
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: can't believe morally that he would do a song with

1028
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: this person, nah, Because I mean, now, I think my

1029
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: fans know me and they know what I'm about, and

1030
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: so they know I'm I'm I'm I'm gonna be real

1031
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: and yeah I'm a man of God or whatnot. But

1032
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm gonna be real and I'm

1033
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna do what I what I feel like it's necessary artistically,

1034
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I work with anybody,

1035
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's just what are we gonna be talking about?

1036
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm gonna work with anybody,

1037
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: and I may just have to jump on a track

1038
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: and put my little spin on it, you know what

1039
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, I don't know how that works. It

1040
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: ain't no rules to it, so to speak. Like everybody

1041
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: trying to make rules for this, but it ain't rules.

1042
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: To just follow what you believe is right, you know

1043
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying and make good music. Do you think

1044
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: the generation likes the spiritual foundation? America is so influenced

1045
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: by Western thought, and Western thought is gradually becoming more

1046
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 1: like anti God, you know what I'm saying, Like, I

1047
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: don't believe in God, so but when you go to

1048
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: the East, God is still a very huge part of

1049
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: their culture. So you know, you go to Africa, you

1050
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: go to China, what not. God is still it's a

1051
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: big thing. But I feel like, you know, we get
