96
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,080

102
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,440

00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: So Yeah, with my mom.

104
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 4: My mom being a social worker had a lot to

105
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: do with it because I've seen so much. She was

106
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: always gone, she was always dealing with other people, children

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So sometimes I used to be hating,

108
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: but you know, you know what I'm saying, when I

109
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: got older enough to really understand that, like she was

110
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: doing good work. You know what I'm saying, She's saving

111
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: people lives, like you start really noticing.

112
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: Other people's situations as you get older.

113
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: I just really commend her for her job and all

114
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: the stress and stuff that she had to go through,

115
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 4: and on top of that, still deal with me, you

116
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, and a handful that I was

117
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: and then deal with life like you know what I mean.

118
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: So I commend her a lot.

119
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:23,720

00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 4: So we throw two for Real Day every year and

124
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: it's like a community give back event, charity event. So

125
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: we have performances and like games and little rides and

126
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: stuff for all the kids to come out and have fun.

127
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: We give back school supplies, we make sure they're ready

128
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: for school, clothes and stuff like that. We got a

129
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: lot of sponsors like Ethica, Puma's been one of the sponsors.

130
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: True Religion was a sponsor last year. A lot of

131
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: different food vendors and stuff come through and help us.

132
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 4: Costco always donate a lot, so we just take that,

133
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 4: take everything that we get from that and try to

134
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: give it out to the community. We throw it at

135
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: Compton College, so we'll probably start doing it every year

136
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 4: at Company College. It started off as just a block

137
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 4: party though in the neighborhood. We used to just throw

138
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: a block party in the neighborhood. And when you say we,

139
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 4: who was we to me and my homies and my

140
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: family and my friends. Started off with me and my friends,

141
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 4: and then as I became a bigger artist, we just

142
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 4: like it became more and more and more, like just

143
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: bigger every year, so we have to keep bringing people.

144
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: What's interesting about you is you have this amazing artistry

145
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,360

147
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,160

Speaker 2: Probably my grandmother.

153
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,600

154
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: Like that was my dog, you know what I'm saying.

155
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,560

157
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: listeners there. They're gonna be like, stop tapping. Use another, uh,

158
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,800

159
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna say the other food flat one, but maybe that one.

160
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm getting all up in his stuff. Sorry, but like that,

161
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: there's like something on there.

162
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna put it, not.

163
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: That on there? Yeah? What's that on that?

164
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: All? Right?

165
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: If you ain't never had a struggle meal with no dirt, like,

166
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: stop playing, stop stop acting like you ain't never had

167
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: a struggle meal with no dirt in here.

168
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: You ain't never sneeze on food. You ain't never dropped

169
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: the ice cube picked back up through it. I have,

170
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: I've done that, but I still do.

171
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,119
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I've ever sneezed in food.

172
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 4: Though I didn't drop the homie full taco shells on

173
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: the ground, still made them.

174
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: For him, I don't. I don't know if I'll ever

175
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: let you cook for me off camera. Off cameras on

176
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: camera can see if you mess it up.

177
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: You just gotta pay attention. You never know, I might sprinkling.

178
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: What's crazy is you put all that seasoning in the water,

179
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: but I have not seen any seasoning on the meat

180
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: that has attention.

181
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: Oh you put seasoning on it.

182
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I was so busy focused on listening. Okay, Okay,

183
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: let's go back to the story. Okay, So the inspiration

184
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: for all this other complete polar opposite of who who

185
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: it seems like you represent in your music.

186
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 4: I don't really think it's like a opposite, like I'm

187
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 4: still the same person.

188
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: It's just like that's kind of that's pretty.

189
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 4: Much like the basis of why I started making music

190
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 4: is that you can be whoever you want to be.

191
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: Is still be a.

192
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: Rapper, Like you don't gotta be a thug, you don't

193
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 4: gotta be like, you don't gotta be nothing like stereotypical.

194
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: You could be whoever you want to be and still

195
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: make it.

196
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Chief success, people still think

197
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: you cool, Like cool is like standard of yourself, you

198
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: know what I mean? That's what the for real for

199
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: real means it's like it's like doubling down on being yourself,

200
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: being real.

201
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where that comes from.

202
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: Okay, So take me back. You're a kid growing up

203
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: at home, what's your next injection towards artistry? Like growing up, like,

204
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: where do you start figuring out what you want to do?

205
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 4: I played sports, so I was really playing sports and

206
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: like just music and sports kind of I go hand

207
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: in hand. So when I was a kid, I know

208
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: I wanted to make music too, but I didn't know

209
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: I want to be a rapper. I always thought I

210
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: wanted to be like a producer or something. So I

211
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: started off kind of just like making beasts, but I

212
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: was like horrible. So I was like, let me just

213
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 4: try something else. And I started rapping a little bit,

214
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: and then me and my homies around my neighborhood we

215
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: all started rapping too, like everybody on my street.

216
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 2: So it was just making music together. Were just putting

217
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: it together.

218
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 4: And as I got older, when I got done playing football,

219
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: I was like, I want to do something.

220
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm gonna take like a year and focus

221
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 5: on rap. And after I focused on rap, it just

222
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 5: started to take off.

223
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: And how did your mom feel about this whole idea

224
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: of you getting into rap.

225
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: She was like, I don't really care because I graduated

226
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: from college.

227
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: So she was like, man, whatever you're gonna do, just

228
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: do it, just do it out one hundred percent. So

229
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 4: she she supported it. I remember early on, like when

230
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: I was young, she was scared for me. But I

231
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: could tell she was scared for me rather than you

232
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, didn't want me to chase my

233
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 4: dreams because it just was like, you know what, parents,

234
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: it's a different generation, generational gap, so the what you

235
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 4: can be was more limited back then, Like you know

236
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like she probably got so many friends

237
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: and people that wanted to be rappers and stuff like that,

238
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: and went down the rabbit hole.

239
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah you know what I mean.

240
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: You like, you don't think your little son gonna make

241
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 4: it or your baby gonna make it. When they when

242
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: they're like, oh I want to be a rapper, I

243
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 4: want to do this, you just think like damn, Like

244
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 4: a lot of people get discouraged, like day you don't

245
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: want to work hard and stuff like that. Like I

246
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: had other family members telling me like I don't need

247
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: to focus on rap, like I need to get a

248
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: job and stuff like that, and it's.

249
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: Like, how did that make you feel? When they would

250
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: say that.

251
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: I've never really been a person to have hurt feelings.

252
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: I'm like, you really get one chance with me? Like

253
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 4: if you if you ain't saying what I'm liking in

254
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: the first like five minutes, I'm You're toned out for life.

255
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: I'll never listen to you again.

00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,720

358
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 4: That's just where music was like the mecca at that time,

359
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: Like everything was coming up out of Atlanta.

360
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: I figured, like, you know what I'm saying, let me

361
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: see what I can go.

362
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 4: Down there and learn. I can go down there network

363
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 4: maybe you know something to come up of it. So

364
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: I was just chilling down there my home meet. I

365
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: was my roommate in college in San Diego. He had

366
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: moved back. He was from there, so I just wanted

367
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: to go stay with Bro. Was staying out there just

368
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 4: making music. Every day, working on music. I was getting around.

369
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: I ended up making someone probably like my best music.

370
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: Think out there is why I like found like my confidence.

371
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: Like in Atlanta, you could be whatever you want if

372
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: you like a garbage man, like a Nick Gonna tell

373
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: you I'm the best garbage man ever. Like if you

374
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: like a cameraman, dude, gonna be the best camera man,

375
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: even if they not.

376
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, But.

377
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: Like the sense of pride that you have about yourself

378
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 4: that I found out there, Like just seeing so many.

379
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: Like people that looked like me that were successful.

380
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 4: I had never really seen a lot of successful people

381
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 4: like me in all different lanes and attributes. So I

382
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: think it kind of just motivated me a lot, you

383
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, being out.

384

Speaker 2: What was it? What kind of question was it? Oh?

633
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: Oh, something on your little on your timeline. This girl said,

634
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: was a deal of a perfect date or something?

635
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

636
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: Honest to this dude's a narcissists.

637
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: That don't make me a narcissist.

638
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: You've been claiming that the whole time, and then when

639
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: I say it, it doesn't sound good.

640
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: That doesn't that doesn't like justify narcissism.

641
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: Though, okay, as I've spoken like a true nigga.

642
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: Though like a true nigga, I take that. It was

643
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 2: answer okay.

644
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: So I will say this. You and I are like

645
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: polar opposites in the sense that, like if I even

646
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: sat might think something great is gonna happen, I literally

647
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: call like ten people, and then when it doesn't happen,

648
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: I totally warn people up from I'm gonna be really

649
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: sad and that's how I live my life. And then

650
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: you're the opposite. A deal can be signed, money could

651
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: be transferred to your bank account, and you're gonna hold

652
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: it in the whole time. So how did you tell

653
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: your mom about the I hate to go back to

654
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: your mom, but I always feel like moms are like that.

655
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 4: I told her like a Musico met with regnation. No, actually,

656
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 4: I think I called her a while I was in

657
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 4: New York. She called me like what you doing. I'm like, oh,

658
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 4: I'm in New York.

659
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: She like, how do you not stress this woman out?

660
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 4: She got my location and it's like, if you're looking

661
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: for me, you know exactly how to find me.

662
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: Oh, you share it with me? Okay, you know what, Jesus,

663
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: she's probably got to check that every day.

664
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: My sister usually check it.

665

Speaker 7: Like she wake up in the marning. I think that's

667
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 7: like one of the first things to do because if

668
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 7: I'm somewhere that's unfamiliar, She'll start calling me at like

715
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,720

719
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 4: can't downsize anybody's accomplishments.

720
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: But at the same time, like.

721
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 4: If you're chasing a bigger dream, then you know what

722
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,960

726
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: surprised how many guests, Rappers included, they have admitted to

727
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: crying on the show. And like, these real intense situations,

728
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: you're very successful, but the glass ceiling just continues to move.

729
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: Is that how it is with you?

730

00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 4: what I mean. It's not no like you should never

00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,239
Speaker 4: there's never enough work done, you know what I mean.

734

Speaker 4: You got people that have no choice but to be

829
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 4: in the industry. And then you got people that don't

00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 4: really care much for what's going on. Like you could

831

836
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: of their character. Then you got people that's this is

837
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 4: really their character. They've been acting like this they whole life.

838
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: They was just built for this shit, Like you know

839
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. They just industry people. And then like

840
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm more the type of person. It's

841
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: like I'll just be watching this shit like I'd be

842
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 4: like that's crazy.

843
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:05,640

845
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,520

846
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: So, do you feel like your favorite part of your

847
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: job is making the music or performing?

848
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 2: Performing?

849
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 4: So I feel like it fits in both, Like making

850
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 4: the music be such an experience for me because it's

851
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 4: like that's like therapeutic cause I get to just talk

852
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 4: about awe, like a lot of people don't get to

853
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 4: talk about their feelings and express their feelings. Like a

854
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 4: lot of people like just naturally have to keep it

855
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 4: suppressed because they don't have an outlet to be able

856
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 4: to speak or anybody that'll listen to him. I have

857
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 4: millions of people that listen to me, you know what

858
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 4: I mean. So it's like that's like a blessing. So

859
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 4: just being able to make that music and see like

860
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 4: where it coincigns with people and like who relates to

861
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 4: people walking up to me? Like just even this weekend

862
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 4: being a complex called, so many people walked up.

863
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 7: To me, like I do, walk up to me like, bro,

864
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 7: you got me do part times and that's beautiful.

865
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: And I'm not like ride Wave or nothing.

866
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 4: So it's like, you know what I'm saying, I don't

867
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 4: make the same type of music he make, but just

868
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 4: knowing that my art can get somebody through, they can

869
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: can help somebody the same thing is doing for me,

870
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 4: it is doing for somebody else. So h yeah, that's

871
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 4: like dope. And then performing it. The best part about

872
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 4: performing it is seeing that they know it.

873
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like seeing them sing your lyrics kay.

874
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,480
