But that come from being a rapper. 173 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: How long did have you been doing the dog the 174 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: dog breeding. I think I got my first dog that 175 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: I started doing the breathing with probably like just maybe 176 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: five years ago. Serious money, man, serious money, Like it's 177 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: a lot of responsibility. Yeah, I had, like I had 178 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: a whole kennel. I built the whole kennle. I spent 179 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: like two fifty like the house the backyard, and I 180 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: built there like like a house in the backyard, and 181 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: that had like sloughs and eat inside of the house 182 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: with the drains where they pissing ship and go down 183 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: to the sewerd and wash out marble floor ac unit. 184 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: How water heat dogs are living better than some dudes 185 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: for sure, living better than a lot of people. Yeah. 186 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: So I mean because I know it's a lot of 187 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: money involved, so you got to take good care of him. Yeah. No, 188 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: with the dog thing, it's like like you said, you 189 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: got to take good care of him. It's a messy 190 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: it's a messy thing. You got to make sure, you know. 191 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: Like I'll be trying to convince my wife. I'm like, babe, 192 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: like you know, because we got the plug. It's the 193 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: main objective though, it's the longevity We're gonna get this money. 194 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: You will have to clean some dogs. Ship. I might 195 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: have to drink off a dog, you know, every once 196 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: in a while. But when you stud your dogs, do 197 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: you manually? I've never done it. You have to ask 198 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: that question. Happens at the veat. That happens, so you 199 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: take it to the vet. So my boy they do it, 200 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: does it himself, and he says it's better than the VAT. 201 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it. They take the 202 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: female and they take the male. The male smells there. 203 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: They do it right there and then they do it 204 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: like that. I've never done it. I never will do it. Yeah, 205 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: because I mean, I guess, like whatever downside to like 206 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: going to the vat, Like, to me, the real downside 207 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: you just don't want to pay the money. Well, the 208 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: real downside is jerking off your dog, Yeah too, but 209 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, it's always cutting corners 210 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: with this shit, so it's like, right cool, instead of 211 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: me paying the vet to do it and then they 212 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: I've also seen people at home they take the seamen 213 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: and put it in the girl too. I've seen them, 214 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: man I didn't win, swear and they put the dog 215 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: to sleep in front who through the surgery in front 216 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: of everything? Wit stop shot? So what kind of dogs 217 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: are you doing? English? English bull dogs? Now, I've had 218 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: two English bull dogs. My first English bulldogs really didn't 219 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: have any health problems. My second one day, but I 220 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: always would hear you know, I got my bulldogs like that. 221 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: They always have health issues. They exotic, so that's why 222 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: you can't even breathe them like normally. Also, yeah, they 223 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: also can't fuck like that can't swim. They can't. They 224 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: can't fuck like listen, I've thrown my English bulldog into 225 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: a pool. You swam. But with that being said, probably 226 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: not the best idea, yeah, because they get tired, they 227 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: have breathing problems, they have small trachyas. Sometimes they can't 228 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: eat like bigger food. Gotta make the food soft and 229 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: slobber a lot.

I got 386 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: to look and see do you pay for features at 387 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: this point? No, it's all of that's. I feel like 388 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: if someone that I feel like that would be the case. 389 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: There's certain artists that like, I feel like it's got 390 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: to be a respect thing. Yeah, for sure. For sure. 391 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: I have before in the back in the day when 392 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: I didn't just trying to rap and hey man, I 393 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: want to hear you on my song type shit and 394 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: not knowing who you are, you not knowing who I 395 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: am type shit.

That's true. So yeah, I think 398 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: it just also depends. Like if you got a deal 399 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: on a Drake feature, you be like, yo, it's something different, 400 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: But at this point certain features worth paying for. Yeah, 401 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: they end up being relationships later on and the features 402 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: end up being you know, triple double whatever type shit. 403 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So you it just all 404 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: depends on how the ship, how it was handled. That's 405 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: some real ship. Man, Who are you like right now 406 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: just on some fan ship, like outside of your crew, 407 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 1: your label?

They got in the 579 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: car and then followed me out. I didn't even really 580 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: go to the line you call like order money and shit, 581 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 1: like that yeah.

Seventy five thousand. And it came. I remember 697 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: I first got my first five g's and then because 698 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: I used to just put out just mixtapes, I used 699 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: to just run my mixtapes through Empire. Before I was 700 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: that Empire, I was dealing with urban life at right back, 701 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: and I uhould just be twenty thirty fifty and then 702 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: uh and then god, he starts seeing the numbers. It 703 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: was like, hey, we need to do an album. This 704 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: before I even did this is the first album I 705 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: deal with Empires in twenty sixteen. Real Niggas back in style. 706 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: So it's like, hey, we need to do a single 707 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: and then and then based the single round the album. 708 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: This is before I did the album, like we need to, 709 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: we need to, we need to get it going. So 710 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: I made that single make a Living with Sue, and 711 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: then I finally did the album. Other than that, I 712 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: was just running tape series some city money man's neighbor starts, 713 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: just running through them, doing millions of views on the 714 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: videos and all the type of shit. So shit. And 715 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: I think also back then, like YouTube paid a lot more. Yeah, 716 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: the YouTube money was great back then. Yeah, it was 717 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,439 Speaker 1: a lot different because the other what was dope about 718 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: back then was if you had a distribution deal, they 719 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: didn't touch your YouTube money, so you were getting the 720 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: YouTube bag over here and then the iTunes over here. 721 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: But now it's all all combined into one, which I'm like, damn, 722 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,479 Speaker 1: because that YouTube money was great yea, so it paid 723 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: way better than the streaming shit. So that's how that 724 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: used to work too. So I mean, you know, that's 725 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: why I'm able to be you know, like I get 726 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: paid twenty a show still to this day.

You obviously went 789 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: through one of the more in my opinion, dope rap 790 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: beefs recently because you guys kept it on our own record, 791 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: are you and Masie? It was bothly. That was like 792 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: three years ago, two years ago. I don't know that's how, 793 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: but it was to me, it was like dope because 794 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: it reminded me of, like, you know, just some ship 795 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: that I grew up on, people keeping it up, putting 796 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: dope songs out. Yeah, because I feel like nowadays, man, 797 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: like we saw King Vaughan, you know that ship with Kwondo. 798 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: I don't think he had a rap beef with what 799 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It wasn't even like that's the 800 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: weirdest thing about out the Dirk and Young Boy thing. 801 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys aren't even from the same city. 802 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: I'm so confused. This is strictly some hip hop shit. 803 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: I think that shit was like over a bitch or something, 804 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: But I just thought it was dope. That Like, I 805 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: feel like you guys did that shit the right way 806 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: because you guys have mutual homies. You guys got mutual business, 807 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: and you guys had obviously a disagreement and it ended 808 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: up on record and it was what it was and 809 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,959 Speaker 1: everyone moved on. Yeah for sure. You know me, I don't. 810 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: I don't hold no grudges. I ain't mad at nobody, 811 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like I've been doing my thing. 812 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: Fel'm continued doing my thing, you know, So I don't 813 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,720 Speaker 1: wake up every day thinking about, you know, the past 814 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: or anything else.

I done heard artists like, okay, 982 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: they want me to sign over here, but they wanted 983 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,760 Speaker 1: me to take off my tattoos or cut my drade 984 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 1: like that. They want to control you because they putting 985 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: the money up, So they want you to look a 986 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: certain way, they want you to wrap a certain way. 987 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 1: This is what they feel will work. I feel like 988 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: artists nowadays are at least becoming more transparent and understanding 989 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: that they might be in shitty deals inventing that. You know, 990 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: like we've seen me, we've seen yg. We've seen a 991 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 1: lot of people be like, yo, I didn't get no 992 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 1: money off my music. Because what happens is you take 993 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 1: the advance, and that has to if you take if 994 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: you get a million, that's just an easy number to 995 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: work with. A million dollars on a major label, you're 996 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: probably only owning seven to twelve percent of your user 997 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 1: so much just to get that million back, because they go, 998 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 1: you got to make that ship back over ten times 999 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,359 Speaker 1: before you recoup. It's like, bro, that's hard to do. 1000 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: So that's where all the other things and endorsements and 1001 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: everything else come in. That's what they're living off of 1002 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: in the shows and shit. Yeah, but when that shit 1003 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: drives up, that's where you would see these artists during 1004 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,919 Speaker 1: the pandemic like, man, fuck my label, I ain't see 1005 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,280 Speaker 1: no money since. And then they get back trapping again, 1006 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 1: and then they get caught up. Nah. I think that's 1007 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 1: really what COVID did, was it made y'all realize, yo, 1008 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: know all these motherfuckers for the most part, you know, 1009 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 1: and these are good guys that fuck with a lot 1010 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 1: of them. But when you take that easy upfront check, 1011 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: you're signing off on a lot of bullshit in that deal. Yeah, 1012 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: I mean you got to make that. Fuck it, make 1013 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: that given. Tell you a friend what they want back, 1014 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 1: and and I don't feel bad. And if you're not 1015 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: able to make that back, bro, I don't feel bad 1016 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: because you signed the fucking deal like you, we're talking 1017 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 1: grown ass men. You signed a contract like you either 1018 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,919 Speaker 1: you needed the money, you don't took an advance before 1019 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 1: took advance. But it's different. I feel like it's it's 1020 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,879 Speaker 1: different splits. Yeah, it's different, but you can't sell your soul, 1021 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it took an advance before, 1022 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: but I made mine back I recouped, So yeah, that's 1023 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: how it works. So now a lot of them take 1024 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: the advance. Imagine if you get off. Imagine if you 1025 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: only get eight percent, how hard it is to recoup that. Now, 1026 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,880 Speaker 1: if you do like a distro situation and you got 1027 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: an eighty, twenty, sixty, forty, ninety ten, whatever, it's a 1028 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: lot easier to recoup. But if you have eight percent 1029 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 1: out of one hundred, that means ninety two pennies of 1030 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,879 Speaker 1: every dollar goes into the labor's pocket and only eight 1031 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: cents And you don't get the eight That eight cents 1032 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: goes towards your balance that you oh, that you oh 1033 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: even go in your pocket. It does not go on 1034 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,399 Speaker 1: your pocket. You gotta fuck forever to pay that shit 1035 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 1: up forever. You gotta be fucking the weekend or somebody, 1036 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You gotta be drake like 1037 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it's like good luck, 1038 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think people understand like when you 1039 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: look at you know i'd be looking at people's numbers 1040 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 1: except be like, Okay, if he did twenty million streams 1041 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 1: times twenty times four thousand, I mean shit, you know 1042 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, I mean, that's cool money, you 1043 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean. But like you know, like how 1044 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 1: are you? What's your overhead? What's your overhead? A lot 1045 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:33,839 Speaker 1: of these you gotta understand too. A lot of these 1046 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: rappers like that's all they ever did was rap, so 1047 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 1: they don't have many really other hustles or whatever. So 1048 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 1: like if they get that money and fuck that money off, 1049 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 1: it's over. And it happens more often than not, especially 1050 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 1: your first deal. Most people's first deal is all bad. 1051 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,919 Speaker 1: Go buy chains, call, bring all the homies on the road, 1052 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 1: all of all the drugs, all this shit.
