They still have more 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.399 of an insight to music, like y'all got the last 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.520 bits of music courses, like you know when you listen 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.440 to a music.

My father. 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:43.280 Got me into you know, instruments and shit. You know, 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.640 I was in the little the drum line shit with 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.880 the permemery. They had the parades and they had the 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.800 drummers and shit. I did that like a couple of years. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:53.800 And then. 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.840 My father put me in the class and bought me 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.520 a motherfucking trumpet, So I was I was in class 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.040 trying to learn how to play trumpet and all that shit. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.680 He had me doing that shit, you know. So that's 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:13.720 what music was. Always early shit with me, and then 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:18.359 usually with your parents or grandparents from my generation, somebody 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.560 was you know on some music shit, singing in the 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.200 choir at church or some shit like that. Your cousin 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.760 might have played the drums or the oregon or some 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.760 shit like that. So that's where that shit came from. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.960 Everybody was sure into some kind of instrumentation because they did. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.680 Did y'all still have the music programs over the eight 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.360 that they had and took them out hit when you 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.120 was going to school. 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.600 Well, yeah, they still had music programs around that time, 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.800 you know, the early eighties, the mid seventies, early eighties, 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.480 and shit, you know, shit start falling when the nineties came. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.880 So by the time when I got in high school, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.399 they didn't have nothing program So when I go back 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.639 and I listened to NYCNW or if I listen to 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.240 NWA even talking to yelling them with like he was 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.800 talking about music, how they used to play the drums, 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.880 and even forty forty got a scholarship, you feel me 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.640 to Grambling for music. So like that's why to me, 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.520 that generation, like right, that that first tier of West 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.040 Coast simc's even to the degree of the second tier, 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.520 right that anything that came from eighty which would be 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.239 kind of on a on a Mansu scale eighty six 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.360 to ninety or ninety to ninety six, them. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:39.240 Dudes was different. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.400 Even their music sound different versus when we came in 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.200 the game, Right, we didn't know nothing about music. Now, 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.080 I mean I didn't know My mom is a huge 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.880 music fan, You feel me, I didn't know nothing about music. 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.160 I could hear songs, I knew songs, but I didn't 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.440 know music, and you could hear the difference when you 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:04.040 listen to let's say a NWA anything early death Row 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.600 conscious most wanted you feel me, any of the stuff 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.480 Iceland was doing, it just was more. 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.960 You could tell they knew more about music. 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.440 Yeah, you know what I think it was. I think 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.240 if anything we learned, we for sure learned theory. And 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.240 it was the basic stuff, like I remember, because all 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.440 I ever took was piano, and I remember, man, they 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.839 taught us chopsticks and a whole bunch of other stuff 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.719 and moonlight sonata and all that, you know, different type 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.360 of stuff. So it kind of took you from there 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.039 to where you had note recognition. And I would say 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.320 that help when you kind of got a hip hop 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.880 I kind of started off leiegue or not were on 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.600 the DJ side? Is my mom had bought me some turntables. Yeah, 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.200 but even you feel me like so the point of 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.920 this book and like. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.719 It's one thing to turn your natural ability into skill 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.200 or technique, Like you know, it's like a hooper, like right, 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.799 you could hoop right if you could jump out the gym, 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.760 you know what I mean?

He worked on songs from Rhythm D. So 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.400 him producing White Lighting White Lightning was dope. But everything 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.760 I did he moved to Atlanta and I got I 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:14.480 was on my own. 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:16.640 All that shit is whack. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.480 You said, all of us, all of them. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.400 So whatever I did on my own is whack like 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.520 until I got with Tump, until I got with Manny 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.640 Fresh the Stones. You remember the original Beach Cruise and 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.600 the stuff I did with Mike City. You know, when 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.280 I was being produced, Certified obviously was top sixty on 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:42.280 the charts, right, Certified was top sixty on the charts. 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.640 You know, But when I start having to produce my 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.800 own song, like with Hater, shout out to the to 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.000 MeV and my brothers from the Renne Gaze, but they 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.840 were brand new, like called hadn't developed them as producers. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.720 So you feel me like it wasn't Haters ain't as 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.040 tight as it could have been because I don't understand records, 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.080 feel me, but like the stuff when I was produced, 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.960 it was dope. But when I produced my own stuff, 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.240 right when I started making my own music and I 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.320 just start rapping the beats and finding my own beats 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:13.920 and coming up. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.600 With my hooks, that ship whack. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.920 Get whack, you know, because now I hear it, I'm like, like. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.520 Your old ship and be like, man, that ship was trashed. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:34.680 I I'm I'm I'm a I'm a critic of my ship. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:40.439 And usually what what I would do is I would 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:45.800 just play ship for niggas as it as it went along. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:51.600 And uh, I would pull a lot of ship that 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.320 I would do because there was always somebody getting ready 0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:01.440 to come out with somebody who had already dropped. And 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.400 you know, in our generation, you had to be on 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.839 point with your lyricism if you was goinna put out 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:13.160 some shit. So I would play shit for niggas in 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.280 the studio, and if niggas would be like, yeah, that 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.640 that sound cool, I would change it up right there 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:27.160 because sounding cool is just what the general niggas right here. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.360 Niggas might be just nuts swinging because they hanging in 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.800 the studio with you and shit like that. So it 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.880 was a lot of shit that I would pull or 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.800 go back and do over. And that's why I really 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:47.240 left the production up the slip you getting me because 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.560 I wasn't you know, I dibbled and dad, but I 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.160 wasn't no motherfucking producer like he was. 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:54.079 You get me. 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.319 That nigga knew how to you know he was a 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:04.120 he was a producer.

Nigga listened to two seconds of some 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.880 ship and could chop that ship up and make it 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:17.160 a whole fucking song. And so I left my production 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.280 up to a nigga who knew what he was doing. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.680 You get me, I didn't have that ego like fuck that. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.559 You know, I'm gonna produce my own ship.

I'm forty now, so it's like I'm 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.920 not the little kid, and it was tough for my era, 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.240 Like like I remember going to the studio for Guedo 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.520 and like the first time rappit for him and him 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.920 slamming the door in my face, like you gotta get tighter. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:14.480 You know what I'm saying. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.280 Like he had all the dat machines and all of 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.000 that stuff, and you feel me and having to go 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.840 get tighter just to earn a chance to record with 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.800 somebody who had enough experience to produce records. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.600 Now, where were you at your where was you at 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.480 in your like kind of development when you got took 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.360 over Drey's house when Tred was listening to you sh 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:34.400 at the party. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.480 Barely tight enough to what Guido thought I was tight. 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:43.200 So we had just started working like I had So 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.240 the first time he slammed the door in my face, 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.600 I went home. I kept recording myself like I was 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.240 early on that recording myself. I had cool let it pro, 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.560 and I would be I was in a battle rap 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.240 league online, so I would go sell shrim all day 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.640 on the seven and be fugging up, and then when 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.040 I go home to the spot, I would just be 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.480 developing my writing, kind of like therapy. Like it was 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.640 a lot at that time.

So I would be 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.560 writing just to keep my mind sharp, because you don't 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.240 hanging out with the homies.

So I would go home and get 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.200 on the pin and rap on his thing, type my 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.600 lyrics or record myself. So the first time I went 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.160 and he slammed the door on my face. Shit, I 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:35.720 was on a mission, you know what I mean. Now 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.640 that's a challenge. You know I get still when I 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.360 get a challenge. I like that. So I just start 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.160 going harder and getting better and just really rapping every 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.120 day and coming home from slanging it in. I start 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.920 going to Taco Studio. I did some stuff for Kiki Loko, 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.120 and I started noticing they thought I was killing shit. 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.400 So I knew I had stepped up. So I go 0:15:54.520 --> 0:16:00.600 back to the studio and I rapped and he was like, okay, 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.880 you I don't know what he said. I don't know 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.680 what you did, but yeah, you know what I mean. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.120 I played in them records, all right. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:09.520 So that's how we start working. 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.640 And then ninety days after that's when I meet dra 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:14.800 you know what I mean, not messing with pool. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:16.920 You go sit down with him. He's like, man, bring 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:17.560 me a record. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.160 I do something for you. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.880 You bought him a record. I wonder why you think 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.960 you ain't took advantage of that relationship more because I 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.200 remember he gave us some records for you. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.200 Should I have took advantage of it. He gave me 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.760 two tips that changed my life. 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:37.560 You know what I'm saying, Like, I don't. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:44.440 Know what was funny, man, I don't think I really 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.960 ever tripped off working with Dre like that.

That was cool, But like even when I 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.720 met Dre, Bro my attitude, you know, I was so 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.640 like and I mean ignorant, not in the black way, 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.520 but like in the real way.

He was a nigga on death row. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.280 He had did this, but like it was different, you 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.240 know what I mean. It was somebody more like yeah 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:42.960 he make music versus Eight or Dog or somebody.

They kept it just on brand. 0:28:18.440 --> 0:28:19.640 That's all you gotta do. 0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:20.560 Now. 0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:22.120 Growth is about marketing. 0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:25.399 It ain't about taking new risk with sound at this point, 0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:29.320 for certain legends, it's really about really trippling down on 0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:32.560 a brand and getting more people to approve. Because when 0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.160 eight first started, or when Snoop first started, or when 0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:38.640 ice t first started, I'm sure with no brands, would 0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.280 no major corps come near them, you know what I mean, 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:44.640 because it was like this is way too risky so forth. 0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.440 But now it's not like that, Like eight could have 0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:52.760 a deal with you know, with old English, today they would, 0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:57.080 they would say it now because you know, street urban 0:28:57.120 --> 0:29:01.680 culture has become like synonymous with just being cool for everybody. 0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:05.080 Like now Martha Stewart could hang with Snoop and nobody 0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:08.520 is criticizing her for hanging with a crip, so have 0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:11.920 the Olympics and and Dre and Snoop. Could you know 0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:15.440 be on the Olympics performing songs where they saying, you 0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:18.920 know what I mean f the police on national television. 0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.640 You mean so to me? The next step for like 0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:24.920 the legends that I grew up listening to is really 0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:29.280 making better plays and connecting their brand with greater brands, 0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.000 because the greater brands will expose you, and they don't 0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:35.520 do nothing but solidified to a bunch of white people 0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:36.600 who already heard of you. 0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:40.560 It's okay to like MC eight, it's okay, like you 0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:42.640 can be proud of this. 0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:44.680 You know what I've been kind of trying to figure 0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:47.280 out too, right, Yeah, you know you have them like 0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:49.080 looking at him, going to go do the off the 0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:52.640 porch stuff, right, Yeah, and just what we was talking about, right, 0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:57.000 it's really expound on that dog and really like reintroducing 0:29:57.160 --> 0:30:01.080 like the Hood took me under to the twenty twenty 0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:04.280 four youth, no, the kids of this era, to the 0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:06.920 like you know that era, but by doing it like 0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:09.640 at a tiny desk where it's over live instrumentation, Dog, 0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.840 I think they just get a music, just a whole 0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:12.440 new life. 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:12.760 Dog. 0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:18.000 So the fact we call it tiny desk when they've 0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:20.920 been doing a tammy show since the sixties. You know 0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:24.400 what I'm saying, you've been seeing this before before MTV's 0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:27.160 music video. Like when I go back and study, you know, 0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:29.000 I'll be studying all the time, and I go back 0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:30.960 and look pre MTV. 0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:32.200 That's how all that shit was. 0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:35.640 They was all just it was live musicianship. So we 0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:38.040 just got to get back to the music, not just 0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:40.720 the records, because I think with people here get back 0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:42.840 to the music. They think of getting back to the records. No, 0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:47.720 get back to the music. Like the music pre MTV 0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:50.480 was an experienced. MTV made it to where it was 0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:53.640 a backing track and you perform in the song. But 0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:57.880 before that you had to really it was, you know, 0:30:58.200 --> 0:30:58.920 off the porch. 0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:01.880 It was every was that exactly. You have to be 0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:05.880 able to perform. Back in the days, it was people. 0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:07.520 Up when they seen eight, they was like, oh this 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.440 nigga really got it, Like you know, you could tell 0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:13.440 you could see a master at work versus some dude 0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:15.760 that got a good record exactly. 0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.880 I think the biggest thing today what I tell cats 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:20.720 is I see cats come up there. Like when I 0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:24.040 first saw Ti Grizzly. Remember when everybody the industry kind 0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:25.880 of was giving him his moment because that song was 0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:28.960 so big. He was out there doing songs. Man, they 0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:31.560 just had the microphone in his hand with the track 0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:34.160 playing in the background. He was kind of on stage, 0:31:34.240 --> 0:31:36.400 is kind of diddy bopping, big Man diddy bopping, and 0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:38.560 I'm like, man, that is not gonna work. 0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:38.719 Bro. 0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:41.360 People came to hear you say that over them over 0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:44.440 your microphone. That's what I think. Anyway, I thought this 0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:47.280 stage show was horrible at first. He's gotten a lot better. 0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:49.400 But I thought this show was horrible at first. 0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:51.200 But this is why I always give a lot of 0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:54.960 credit to y'all generation in hip hop, Like y'all understood 0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:58.000 that because y'all grew up watching y'all kind of young, 0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:01.600 but y'all kind of saw Sam Cook, y'all saw James Brown. 0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:04.000 I mean, these are people you saw, even if you 0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:06.640 didn't see them.

So it's up to 0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:25.399 even West Coast hip hop. 0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:27.160 Because one of the hardest things I'll be on all 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:31.520 the legends about is not telling me about Uncle Jam's army. 0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:34.760 Not telling me about you know, Lonzo and the World 0:43:34.760 --> 0:43:38.520 Class Record Crew, the real history of West Coast hip hop. 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:40.680 I just found out about our Pine Village. I never 0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.600 even heard of that, like all my life. Hey, we 0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:46.520 drove by that shit on the one ten, Like, oh, 0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:49.440 that's what the white people be never knew. 0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:52.560 Niggas used to be at the our Pine Village. 0:43:53.000 --> 0:43:56.960 Yeah, I think what it is is And to your question, 0:43:57.520 --> 0:44:00.759 I think brothers you know, are to our spot that 0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:04.359 everything they have to they are on limited budgets, so 0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:06.840 everything they spend their money on is what they believe 0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:08.239 carries social currency. 0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:09.879 So they always looking for. 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:13.960 The next thing. Well guess what they always pop up at. 0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:17.279 How the West was one because we put social currency 0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:19.960 on it. So this is what we're talking about right now, 0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:23.759 when design is creating something that puts social currency on me. 0:44:24.080 --> 0:44:27.280 And then once you add social currency, then the value 0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:31.239 changes for your heritage and your legendary X. You just 0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:32.759 got to put it in a little bit work. But 0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:36.000 there's so much West Coast Hip hop history that the 0:44:36.040 --> 0:44:38.200 average person don't know that I just figured out and 0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:42.719 I'm telling every young still around me, Hey, no, these 0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:45.160 niggas right here. You know what I mean, nobody else 0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:47.719 is doing it. There's no movie that talks about the 0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:50.600 competition between World Class and Uncle Jam's. 0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:53.920 Army, like five hours. 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:58.239 People don't know about Unknown's history and iced tea and 0:44:58.280 --> 0:45:01.879 how that matters to com like this history is incredible. 0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:06.280 We don't have a crush groove right now. Everybody thinks 0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:08.880 our history starts. We're straight out of content. 0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:13.439 And I tell eight, I tell eight all the time 0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:15.719 how big that stuff will because I see g we 0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:18.320 talk about it. All we have to do is go 0:45:18.480 --> 0:45:19.960 do it, bro. All we gotta do is go get 0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:22.680 the venue. We got the we got the band dog, 0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:27.279 we got we got them the platform to do with 0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:29.120 the platforms, and. 0:45:30.719 --> 0:45:31.560 We got the people. 0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:33.759 And I swear to god, eight, I'm so sick of 0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:36.759 seeing niggas the ideas that me and this man had 0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:39.000 five and six years ago, and they're doing when they 0:45:39.000 --> 0:45:40.560 blow up my black Man, there we go. 0:45:40.640 --> 0:45:41.600 We lost anohing. 0:45:42.920 --> 0:45:45.160 Like I'm looking at the owner radar stuff ge and 0:45:45.200 --> 0:45:47.879 that's the Remember I wants to do the thing called 0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:50.520 the bar Exam. That's the bar Exam where I was 0:45:50.520 --> 0:45:52.480 gonna have a things. You just eight were just a 0:45:52.560 --> 0:45:54.840 sign and just let people come and just get off. 0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:56.960 I thought of that so long ago and just never 0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:57.480 did it. 0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:00.200 Listen, Man, God gives you a good idea if you 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:01.799 don't usually give it to somebody else. 0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:05.279 Definitely, I see that the whole time. I see with 0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:07.719 that on the radar, shout out to them though they're 0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:09.920 doing anything. But I had that same idea I was 0:46:09.960 --> 0:46:11.360 till it's gonna be called the bar exam. 0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:15.839 They us, well, like they say, a lot of great 0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:21.880 minds think alike. It's just that sometimes, uh, sometimes we 0:46:22.040 --> 0:46:23.080 procrastinate with. 0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:28.960 Shit for no reason. Eight and I hold the relationships. 0:46:28.640 --> 0:46:31.440 And it's not that we do it purposely. 0:46:31.640 --> 0:46:35.239 But when you a motherfucker that you got multiple shit 0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:40.879 going on, sometimes that great idea might slip you up 0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:43.759 because you think of it. But like you said, there's 0:46:43.800 --> 0:46:47.879 another nigga thinking just like you. So it's on you 0:46:47.960 --> 0:46:52.160 to execute or or pull the trigger when you know 0:46:52.160 --> 0:46:56.080 what I'm saying, Like a nigga said, the greatest investment 0:46:56.160 --> 0:47:00.480 is to invest in yourself. So if if you know, 0:47:00.640 --> 0:47:03.600 you might be doubting, or it might take a couple 0:47:03.680 --> 0:47:06.919 of dollars to do or whatever, but sometimes you got 0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:11.759 to pull the trigger because uh, you know, uh, your 0:47:11.920 --> 0:47:15.080 idea is being thought of by somebody else who also 0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:18.680 has a great mind. And trust me, there's been a 0:47:18.760 --> 0:47:22.200 gang of ship we done thought of that somebody down 0:47:22.239 --> 0:47:25.520 the street or across the country then thought of and 0:47:25.640 --> 0:47:28.520 next thing you know, you're like, damn, Like you said, 0:47:28.800 --> 0:47:31.080 uh damn, that was my idea. 0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:33.600 I shouldn't have waited. You can't be mad at them 0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:36.600 because they don't know. I don't know that. I don't 0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:39.400 know them O raid our people from a hole in 0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:40.680 the wall, or can pain. 0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:46.760 Though exactly they aga I'm thinking the same ship. 0:47:46.960 --> 0:47:47.760 You know what I'm saying. 0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:50.480 So you just got to be able to pull the 0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:53.759 trigger when you think of something, when you can't doubt yourself. 0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:57.560 You get me, man, fuck this, man, I'm finna do 0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.680 this ship like fuck it.

Yep. 0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:14.040 And I'm gonna tell you another one we had and 0:48:14.200 --> 0:48:15.440 it ain't me this glasses. 0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:18.399 Glasses used to tell us, man, I need to have 0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:22.200 shows at my house in the backyard on my own residency. Man, 0:48:22.239 --> 0:48:26.120 we laughed at him so hard. Ey I said, dude, 0:48:26.160 --> 0:48:27.440 you just don't want to go on the road. You 0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:29.080 being laisy. I said, why you don't want to go 0:48:29.120 --> 0:48:30.880 on the road, You canna make the fans come to 0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:34.239 your house. I thought he was out of his mind. Man, 0:48:34.280 --> 0:48:34.640 when I. 0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:37.239 Tell you that, the Captain Russell blew up doing that. Bro, 0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:39.040 what it is. 0:48:38.719 --> 0:48:41.080 Is so the more home. 0:48:41.200 --> 0:48:43.920 What keeps me fresh even at my age now is 0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:47.040 I'm learning like everything. 0:48:46.560 --> 0:48:48.480 I did, all the money I first made. 0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:50.880 When I got this bit, it was natural, like niggas 0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:54.880 really is the genuine article. Like I wasn't like this 0:48:55.120 --> 0:48:57.399 real like all the stories we talk about in these 0:48:57.440 --> 0:48:59.520 songs selling dog shootouts, low rock. 0:48:59.640 --> 0:49:01.640 This this ain't no thing. 0:49:01.800 --> 0:49:06.319 So thank god I stayed sober enough to articulate it, 0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:09.040 and I got this natural ability of rhythm that I 0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:14.040 can articulate it. But I had no skill set outside 0:49:14.040 --> 0:49:17.040 of the repetition of writing raps. I had no idea 0:49:17.160 --> 0:49:19.960 what the record was. I was only as dope as 0:49:20.000 --> 0:49:24.840 the producer I was working with. So you know, remember, 0:49:24.960 --> 0:49:29.160 my natural ability carried me outside of Guidos production and 0:49:29.160 --> 0:49:33.080 who I worked with After my natural ability carried me 0:49:33.120 --> 0:49:37.040 into twenty eleven and twelve, like that's when I first 0:49:37.040 --> 0:49:40.400 started learning, right, That's how I got my first gold record, 0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:43.960 and then I started learning. So even now, like right now, 0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:47.200 I'm reading this book right and I'm learning storytelling. I'm 0:49:47.280 --> 0:49:51.239 learning like turning my innate because I'm naturally a storyteller, 0:49:51.800 --> 0:49:55.120 turning that into technique and skill where I could always 0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:57.680 call on it like a Kareem hook shot. It don't. 0:49:57.920 --> 0:49:59.759 I don't need no jumper. I don't need to come 0:49:59.800 --> 0:50:02.080 get passion and dunk the ball and let me let 0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:05.719 me hit you with this all night. Because so that's 0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:08.560 what keep your ideas fresh. The more new stuff and 0:50:09.239 --> 0:50:11.360 shit you learn, the technique you learning, you know what 0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:15.440 I'm saying, That's what keep you fresh. So it's like 0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:19.480 every idea, I'll be bringing it back because even the residency, 0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:22.319 I'm starting to understand hip hop is culture like it's 0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:25.840 street urban culture. Like that's what made like I said, 0:50:26.040 --> 0:50:28.879 the NWA movement the Consain's most want movement of death 0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:32.799 for all these movements, flyers culturally what they represented at 0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:36.080 that time, where people can get from the lessons, the 0:50:36.120 --> 0:50:39.760 fashion style, the way they talk certain ways they pronounce 0:50:39.840 --> 0:50:42.919 things where they shit would be at. It's like, oh, 0:50:42.920 --> 0:50:46.040 if this is what it is, you feel me then, man, 0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:48.879 I know so much about how we live in La, 0:50:49.120 --> 0:50:52.040 Like I know so like our send songs to ice 0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:53.920 tea and I'll be talking that car shit and it 0:50:54.040 --> 0:50:55.160 be so over the top. 0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:58.879 He'd be like, nigg look how you He was like, Man, 0:50:58.920 --> 0:51:01.080 nobody even know what you're saying.

It's 0:52:20.560 --> 0:52:22.880 gonna do nothing, but it's going to fly because the 0:52:23.000 --> 0:52:27.399 niggas a fucking pro and a legend. So it's it's 0:52:27.520 --> 0:52:31.319 it's just about us doing it every day, not feeling like, 0:52:31.760 --> 0:52:35.759 you know, it's it's too much.

I said, we go do this. 0:52:48.719 --> 0:52:51.399 Then you get sidetracked on other stuff. You start trying 0:52:51.440 --> 0:52:52.719 to side track. 0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:56.000 But you know also what it is too Also our 0:52:56.080 --> 0:52:59.240 problem is is we're creatives. 0:52:59.280 --> 0:53:02.160 Sometimes this ain't the time to be creative. Go to 0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:05.319 the hook shot right in the middle of a game. 0:53:05.640 --> 0:53:08.040 Don't be crossing over, putting up on the mid rangers, 0:53:08.320 --> 0:53:12.879 hold up, still, back up that post him up here. 0:53:13.640 --> 0:53:17.360 Hook to me.
