So I said, 156 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: let's go right now. I can't lie, I guess I 157 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 3: just wanted to pledge allegiance to the genre a little bit. 158 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. 159 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 3: I just wanted to take all the frills off and 160 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: just say here rap you. 161 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 4: Think some of the some of the album to come 162 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 4: home with kids miss you.

That's not the worst way to live 170 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: your life. It's okay to be misunderstood. But I felt misunderstood, 171 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: as so many artists have and continue to and I'll 172 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: probably feel misunderstood stood again soon. But I just wanted 173 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 3: to fucking say my piece. 174 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: I just wanted to do it. 175 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: I just wanted to do it my way this time. 176 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: And you said your piece like under thirty minutes. It's 177 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: an easy listen to. 178 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 5: It's like only ten tracks as opposed to the other 179 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 5: projects to have fourteen fifteen. 180 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Did you want to make it that tight and concise. 181 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 3: Concise is a great word. That's exactly what I want 182 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 3: to I didn't want to waste the line. I didn't 183 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: want some bridge to just make the song longer. It's 184 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: like I saw no reason to add anything that wasn't cruise, 185 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 3: so every line mattered to me. I didn't set out like, yo, 186 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 3: let's make a short ass album. It ended up short, 187 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: and I'm like, why we don't need to And there's 188 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: three songs with three verses, which is unheard of. It's 189 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 3: still the songs are still. I'm giving as much as 190 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: I can, but I don't like making songs longer to 191 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: make them longer, So if they end up short, they 192 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: end up short. 193 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 4: But you know what I like about the album is 194 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 4: like it's an easy listen in one sense, but in 195 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 4: some ways it isn't where it's like you hit the 196 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: ground with common ground and it's a short record, like 197 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: run it back and it's wait a minute, he said 198 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: a lot of shitness Right now, I gotta go back 199 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 4: and really dissect the Bar's like he made a lot 200 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 4: of strong statements in this one record, Like this one 201 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 4: record is a lot like was that your purpose? 202 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: Also, it's like pack with a lot of messaging in it. 203 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's just so many vibes right now, there's so 204 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: many just vibes and mood music that, like I think 205 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: on Come Home, I was so focused on ear candy. 206 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 3: It was like literally a phrase I was using in 207 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 3: the studio concert. I remember telling the producers. I was like, Yo, 208 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: every beat you make, I need you to imagine there's 209 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: a girl sitting shotgun with you in the car. She 210 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 3: needs to like it. And I let go of that. 211 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: This time it was like, let's make this about just statements. 212 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: I let go of like my tone being as soothing 213 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: as it could be, and I was like, Yo, just 214 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 3: wrap because it's just so much music. So I felt 215 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 3: say something. 216 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 7: I don't know. 217 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: I just I wanted to say something. There's a middle 218 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: ground you can strike. There's a balance you can strike 219 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: where you can have it ear candy and say something. 220 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying you can't, but for me, it was 221 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: just like, funck the ear candy, fuck the vibes. Let 222 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 3: me just say a few things on my mind and 223 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: get right to it. I think people are craving that 224 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 3: a little bit is get right to it. What are 225 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: you trying to say? 226 00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: So? 227 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 4: What are you trying to say with common ground because 228 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 4: to me it feels like it's like an indictment of 229 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: like white privilege right to a certain extent. 230 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose, So I'll be hesitant to create a 231 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: synopsis for any of these tracks. I'd rather continue to 232 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: leave them up for interpretation. But more than anything like, 233 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 3: it's like I said at the beginning of the record, 234 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: I'm just painting a picture of what I see is 235 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: what I'm observing in society and culture right now. And 236 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: I didn't necessarily promise like a payoff or a like, 237 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: and here's what comes because of that. It's, hey, here's 238 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 3: some of what I'm saying. And sometimes I think just 239 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: painting a picture. I'm literally just painting something. I'm saying, 240 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: that's how you take it, is how you take it, 241 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: how you feel about it. I wasn't even scolding it. 242 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: I wasn't even saying this is horrible. That's kind of 243 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: what I didn't want to do on this album, is 244 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: like say this is what I think is bad, and 245 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: this is what I think is good. I'm not interested 246 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: in right or wrong right now, Like it's not super 247 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: interesting to me. It's more here's a picture. You decide like, 248 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: I'm not here to tell people how to feel. I'm 249 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: just painting something. 250 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 5: You definitely got your shit off too, Like one of 251 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 5: the lyrics that stood out to me was like kind 252 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 5: of standing Serban Suburban kids growing up wanted to be 253 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 5: raped journalists, right, urban myths about who do you think 254 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 5: the best urban kid is? 255 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: It felt very specific. 256 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 5: Do you feel like those are the people that are 257 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 5: like critiquing your music unfairly? 258 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's being unfair. Everyone probably ideally it 259 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 3: is just writing from their heart. If we're lucky. I 260 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: definitely think there's it's like really self righteous condescension, just 261 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: in journalism in general. But of course look at the side. 262 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: I'm the artist, so I'm looking over at them like 263 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: it's just what it is. I was definitely venting right there, 264 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 3: but it goes beyond me, Like I just feel like, 265 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just irritating when you are putting 266 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 3: yourself out there and then people are making a living 267 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 3: off of critiquing you. Putting yourself out there. Put yourself 268 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: out there, motherfucker. That's how we all feel, right, It's natural. 269 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: Everybody's working. 270 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 5: I think another takeaway I got from common grind as 271 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 5: you talk about the differences between suburban communities and the 272 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 5: urban community communities, Like, when did you realize like the 273 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 5: playing field wasn't leveled? How do you mean just like 274 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 5: growing up, you know, with being here in Kentucky, or 275 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 5: just like in just life in general, when you realize 276 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 5: there are some disproportionate Yeah, I mean I. 277 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: Went to public school, so I went to school with 278 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 3: a lot of black kids that were from the other 279 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: side of town. Didn't take long in probably the elementary school, 280 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: you start to realize, Oh, they're living a little differently 281 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 3: from me because I grew up in a great neighborhood, 282 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 3: like in a very unique neighborhood. I grew up in 283 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 3: a peaceful place. But I was going to school with 284 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 3: a lot of kids that were from the other side 285 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 3: of town. So I think you just start to Yeah, 286 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: I don't think it takes much to realize that some 287 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 3: people are from worse situations than you. But I don't 288 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: know if I hadn't gone to public school, I don't 289 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: know if I could be a compelling Yeah. 290 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: That's why going toad, they don't love it, And that's 291 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: pretty much the big statement. That's only song you shot 292 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 4: a video for Do you think that's really what it's about. 293 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 4: It's like, when you look at this game five years in, 294 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 4: you see how competitive it gets. Do you really think 295 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 4: it comes down to believe me the best, which is 296 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 4: what you want to be. You have to have that drive, 297 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 4: you have to have that dedication. 298 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 299 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 3: I think you have to have a passion, and I 300 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 3: think you have to be a fan. You have to 301 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 3: be a fan of the genre and love it. I 302 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: love the craft. I love chasing getting better, coming off 303 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 3: or come home like. Of course, there's some frustrations with 304 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 3: not feeling understood, but it's also exciting to think, Okay, 305 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 3: let me see how I can get better. I don't 306 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 3: think it's the worst thing in the world for people 307 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: to say you have room to improve, Okay, let's get 308 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 3: after it. 309 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: How of all of the DJ drama, Don Cannon on this. 310 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 7: Project spiritually heavily. 311 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I was really excited to play them the music, 312 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: but I did a lot of it on my own, 313 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: kind of remotely. Cannon's always a mentor for me. We 314 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 3: talk hip hop, but of course there was just a 315 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: lot of excitement in recording the songs and thinking, damn, 316 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 3: I can't wait for them to hear this shit because 317 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 3: I know they're going to like it, and sure enough 318 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: it resonated. I don't know I feel a kinship to them, 319 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: but I did. I picked the beats, I spent those times. 320 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: There's a lot of solitude on this project. 321 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: So they didn't know that you were creating this project. 322 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 3: They knew I was in the studio, but we didn't. 323 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: We weren't planning. 324 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 3: All right, let's get a ten track concise. 325 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: You know you was ready to go, go like you yeah. 326 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 7: And we all agreed together, let's go. 327 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 3: I don't know.

If I 505 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 3: could distill it down, I've been exposed to the illusions 506 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: of what is supposed to make me happy, and I 507 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 3: think a lot of people get exposed to, like what 508 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 3: you're supposed to do, buy a house in the hills. 509 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 3: We go to the club, and I think, I'm like, 510 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: I've just got all the illusions out of the way, 511 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 3: and I'm deciding for myself what makes me happy. And 512 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: that's what is that I is about? Is that whole 513 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 3: song is about. I don't need to be told what 514 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: to do with my time, money and platform. I'm just 515 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 3: gonna go towards what actually excites me. And I find 516 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 3: that my preference is to be here, So I'm gonna 517 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 3: be here and tell my preferences to be elsewhere. I'm 518 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 3: gonna spend my time. I want to spend my time, 519 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna do press when I'm ready to do press. 520 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: Because I'm not a total introvert. I'm not a hermit. 521 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 3: I'm not on some frank gas and ship. But there's 522 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 3: times you want to be seen and there's times you don't. 523 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: Do you really have ten girlfriends? 524 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 3: That's one of my least favorite lines too. Really, I 525 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 3: just didn't change it because it felt so good sonically, 526 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 3: Like it's just like yeah, that flows like I knew 527 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 3: people would feel it, but by the time the album 528 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 3: came out, I was out of a space where I 529 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 3: wanted to talk about a ton of women. I don't know. Yeah, 530 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 3: that line's cool, but that ain't the line that I'm like, Damn, 531 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 3: I talked about ship right there. There's so many other lines, and. 532 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 4: We talk about let's talk about some of those lines. 533 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 4: What stands out to you that's you're product. 534 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 3: The line right before that, no airports and no flights 535 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 3: is how I want to live my life? Is that all? 536 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 3: It almost feels rhetorical because it's not all right, You're 537 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: gonna have to get on a few flights, but for me, 538 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 3: it's like, how few flights can I get on right now? 539 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 3: That's what I mean so much to me that y'all 540 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 3: would come here because one of the things I've discovered 541 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: is I love routine. I don't want to escape routine, 542 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 3: and being on the road, routine does not exist for 543 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: the most part for you. 544 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 7: So I don't know. 545 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 3: We could go through every song and there's lines that 546 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 3: I'm like, I can't wait for my grandkids to hear that, 547 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: because that's exactly how it felt. 548 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 5: There's also a lot of concepts on the project too, 549 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 5: Like when that stood out was gang Gang Gang, it's 550 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 5: really dark, Like what's the inspiration behind that track? 551 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 3: The inspiration is exactly what the song is about, and 552 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 3: experiencing different variations of that personally of just friendships that 553 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 3: go left because decisions. The real question of the song 554 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 3: is how deep does your loyalty go? It's something we 555 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 3: as men, we always are talking loyalty. If everyone's always 556 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 3: somebout how down for each other they are. And I 557 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: guess I just wanted to heard the beat shout out 558 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 3: a shad incredible beat. I guess I just wanted to 559 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 3: flip the concept of being down for my gang on 560 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 3: its head. See how far that stretches? 561 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: And what are those real life situations inspired by changing 562 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: the names and stuff. 563 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 7: Changing a lot? 564 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 3: Those are stories. Those stories aren't necessarily from my direct life, 565 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: but they were inspired by things I've seen and gone through. 566 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 3: But sons of variation. 567 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: But then, don't blame on me. 568 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 5: You have me scratching my head because it's three different 569 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 5: perspectives you're talking from, like your older brother, your younger brother, 570 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 5: into your unborn child, but you only have one brother 571 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 5: in real life, though. 572 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 3: Right, it's a little brother, the older brother, and then 573 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: it's the dad. 574 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, the verse the father I have. 575 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's why a third verse starts off, you 576 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 3: grew up in my household like he owns the house. 577 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 4: Okay, that feel they do that record? This seems like 578 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 4: so personal to families, Like you said, this is the 579 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 4: album of a bar fools up. But it's like there 580 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 4: are actually really deep personal songs on there too. 581 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah to me, those aren't those don't kids each other out? 582 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 3: To me, Bar and people up is can be conceptual 583 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 3: and storytelling and personal. Like when I think Bars, I 584 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 3: think I've stopped when I think Bars, I've stopped thinking Braggadocio. 585 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 3: Not that Braggadosio isn't Bars, but I've stopped thinking strictly. 586 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 3: It's about hitting your chest. To me, Bars is the 587 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: royal truth, just compelling statements. 588 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, how did that feel? Did you play that for 589 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: your family? 590 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 3: And I didn't want them blind sided? And yeah, they 591 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 3: took it really well. My family took it really well 592 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: and understood the picture I was trying to paint. I mean, 593 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 3: that's home. That's the one I've seen connect with the people. 594 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 4: You understand, Blame on me it's accountability, right, It's just 595 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 4: like people in this area, you know what's really going 596 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 4: on and how do we address it? Because especially your family, 597 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 4: sometimes you don't say the tough stuff like you said. 598 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 4: The fact that power you always keep saying, I'm terrified 599 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 4: like to speak on this is the so much power 600 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 4: in that. 601 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, so much goes on set, right, I think everyone. 602 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 3: It started off with just the first verse a sibling song, 603 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: and then I was like, Okay, let me see if 604 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: we can tell it from another perspective, and then slowly 605 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 3: it evolved into we may as well bring fatherhood into this, 606 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 3: so I just try to make it. I tried to 607 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 3: stretch it as far as I could because everyone has 608 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 3: something with their family. Yeah, everyone has a spot that 609 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 3: if you just hit tears and fallout. 610 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 4: Because I'm the oldest in my family, so I feel 611 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 4: like that could relate to you. It's like the father 612 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 4: puts the pressure on you. It's because you represent a 613 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 4: lot of his dreams or his view of things, and 614 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 4: it's like being the oldest, you carry that weight. I 615 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 4: have two younger brothers. You inherit that and there's always 616 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 4: that that toughness between your father. If you're the oldest child. 617 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 3: Sometimes you can load itis you unloaded. Yeah, yeah, it's 618 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 3: a heavy one. 619 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm literally Elliott Jr. I don't put that on. 620 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 3: I think you've lived up to it. 621 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 5: Man, thank you, thank you.

I had who I was figured out a 710 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 3: long time before I had how I want to look 711 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 3: figured out. I think I almost neglected my appearance because 712 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 3: I was so in touch with who I was inside 713 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 3: and authentically, so I think it was it's like I 714 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 3: hit puberty late because it was like, Okay, maybe I 715 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 3: should clean up a little bit. So I think during 716 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 3: those years I was figuring myself out, figuring out who 717 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 3: I was in those rooms, because it's one thing to 718 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 3: know who you are in your bedroom alone, but ideally 719 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 3: it's the same thing. But no matter what, you walk 720 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 3: into a room and there's just dynamics and you figure, Okay, 721 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: what's my presence in And I had to grow into 722 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 3: kind of hold my nuts and like really being like 723 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 3: I belong. So I'm not mad at the time at all, 724 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 3: but there was a lot of doubts, a lot of 725 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: insecurity on the way up, a lot of is this 726 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 3: ever gonna happen? 727 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? 728 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 3: But piece by piece. 729 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 5: I think that's the ill part about your success is 730 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 5: that we've seen it in real time, Like there wasn't 731 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 5: no shortcuts.

It's in a very interesting space. 1002 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 3: So I was just trying to make something that was 1003 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 3: as rooted in hip hop as possible because it's evolving. 1004 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,839 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna attach Like I said about the music, 1005 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna attach a good or bad too it. 1006 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 3: It's just it's interesting. 1007 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, me and me not talked about before you 1008 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 1: came in. 1009 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 4: It's just like it's with such a challenge in this 1010 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 4: era to not only gain interest but sustain interest as 1011 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 4: a hip hop artist. 1012 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: Is that kind of somewhat what you're speaking about. 1013 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 3: I guess. I just mean, I don't know how much 1014 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 3: people value music at this moment. I just don't know. 1015 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 3: I'm not saying I know. I'm saying I don't know. 1016 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know where hip it's in 1017 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 3: a really interesting space that they were seeing right now, 1018 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 3: we're seeing a ship. We're in the middle of a 1019 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 3: big shift. 1020 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 4: But it's funny because we always talk about vcs, this 1021 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 4: dynamic of we don't say you come from the Araweth. 1022 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 4: There's the big Free, there's a Drake, Kendrick, Cole, right, 1023 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 4: and then some artists shy away from I'm going to 1024 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 4: be the next leader in that space and some don't. 1025 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 4: I feel like you always say you want to be 1026 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 4: that person, you want to be a leader in that 1027 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 4: Is that still where your mind's that of Like. 1028 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I definitely yearned for that type of influence, 1029 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 3: but it's something that people knight you for, you know 1030 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So you have to be compelling and 1031 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 3: you have to reach for it. And that's what I 1032 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 3: guess I mean by people are like, who's the next 1033 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 3: big three? But the game may be evolving to a 1034 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 3: place where it doesn't fit the same format as that time, 1035 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 3: and what people want is changing with the youth. Wants 1036 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 3: is changing, and it's almost like Drake, Kendrick and Cole, 1037 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 3: their voices are damn near nostalgic. 1038 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 7: At this point. 1039 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 3: We know this is good because this is from the 1040 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 3: days where things were a little better, you know what 1041 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like you hear Drake's voice come on in 1042 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 3: the club, and like it almost reminds you of twenty twelve, 1043 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,240 Speaker 3: which was a great time. Remind you of twenty sixteen. 1044 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 3: This is a great time. And so it's almost like 1045 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 3: the history of the Big Three continues to rain on 1046 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 3: because of what they've already done, what they've already accomplished, 1047 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 3: is like, well, we know we're getting some good shit 1048 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 3: from women. It's why you see people go back and 1049 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 3: then instead of banging new shit, they're listening to Forest 1050 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 3: Hills Driver, they're listening to Late Registration. It's almost like 1051 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 3: we're living in a time where people don't feel like 1052 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 3: this era is special enough to stamp anything as timeless 1053 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 3: are classic, as if the timas in classic shit it 1054 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 3: already happened. We can't get any new timas in classic. 1055 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 4: I feel like they never claimed the album's classic since 1056 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 4: Good Kid, Mass City conversation has never been about this 1057 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 4: is a classic album. 1058 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: Clearing his last album is like. 1059 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 3: It's almost like we're living in the future. Bro, Yeah, 1060 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 3: and everyone's this may be a naive take. In twenty years, 1061 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 3: maybe we'll be looking at right now and be like, 1062 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 3: look at all this classic shit that's being mad right now. 1063 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,720 Speaker 3: But it's almost like we're living in the future because 1064 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 3: everyone is just so into the nostalgia of it all. 1065 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 3: They're so into the Golden era, and it's almost like 1066 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 3: we've passed it so much that people are like, we're 1067 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 3: not going to stamp anything from right now because right 1068 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 3: now it's not even a special. 1069 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 1: Times, not enough times, not enough time. 1070 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's not even I don't know, it's 1071 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,440 Speaker 3: really it's actually a struggle for me to articulate a 1072 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 3: little bit. No, I think you're doing a good job. 1073 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 3: I guess what I'm saying is I think Scorpion is 1074 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 3: going to be a classic. Just so you know, I 1075 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 3: think like these albums as time passes. 1076 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 1: It's just different. 1077 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 3: It's just how it is. It's just how it fucking is. 1078 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,879 Speaker 3: I just feel like right now, almost on some post 1079 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 3: pandemic shit. I was talking to John Mayer about this, 1080 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 3: about how culture so fragmented. Artists put out music and 1081 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 3: the artist's job is to respond or comment on culture 1082 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 3: and society. But he and I were talking about there's 1083 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 3: no shared human experience anymore because everyone's living in their 1084 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,840 Speaker 3: own pockets. Everyone's choosing what to digest. You got your shows, 1085 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 3: you got your artists, so you get to live in 1086 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,319 Speaker 3: your pocket and you don't really need to be told 1087 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 3: who's the star, who's most important? And so I'm saying 1088 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 3: when Kendrick drinking cold that is were that was still 1089 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 3: a time where people were saying, Nah, everyone needs to 1090 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 3: know these are the most important people. Now everyone gets 1091 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 3: to choose what's important to them. Everyone is living a 1092 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 3: fragmented version of culture, and so it's hard to make 1093 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 3: something that connects with the entire zite guys because everyone 1094 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 3: there's no shared human experience. 1095 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 4: So do you feel like an alien that this is 1096 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 4: a landscape but you still have this old school I'm 1097 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 4: going to be the best MC in the world. 1098 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 3: I'm navigating, man, I don't know. I'm just reacting and 1099 00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 3: taking it in. I'm okay with being wrong. I don't know, 1100 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 3: I'm okay with being wrong about half the shit I 1101 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,240 Speaker 3: just said. Like maybe in five years I'll see it differently. 1102 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 3: But it's just an interesting time. 1103 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 5: But it's dope that you know, like even on the 1104 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 5: ambitious you say, I got to show these boys with 1105 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 5: the best out is the still want that you still 1106 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 5: want to be the best. 1107 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 4: And she ain't leaving us for acting because we've lost 1108 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 4: the ice cubes and the latifas And. 1109 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm not going nowhere. I love this shit 1110 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 3: too much. Shit, this rapture is not a cash grab 1111 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 3: to me or a vehicle to get famous. I love 1112 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 3: the craft. I grew up in it, so I'm here 1113 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 3: to stay. 1114 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: Are you staying on that road? Are we getting a 1115 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 1: tour for jack Man? 1116 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, playing it by air right now. Tours 1117 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 3: take planning, so it obviously ain't happening in the next 1118 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 3: month or two. But keeping our finger on the pulse. 1119 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 3: Definitely have some things planned, but not feeling no pressure 1120 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,399 Speaker 3: to go back out, really excited. 1121 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 5: To go back in the studio already. Wow, So this 1122 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 5: is not like this is a full this is not 1123 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 5: an EP. This is the album. You're gonna live with 1124 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 5: this for like maybe a year or two. 1125 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 4: And a year or two, I feel like, how does 1126 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 4: this success of the impact of Jackman shape how you 1127 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 4: may approach your next album. 1128 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 3: I may need a little time to decide. I needed 1129 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 3: time off come Home to decide where I was going 1130 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 3: to go and going back, like I said, I did 1131 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,959 Speaker 3: the movie after Come Home. I spent all that time 1132 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,879 Speaker 3: away from the studio. I didn't record at the same 1133 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,919 Speaker 3: time as a movie, and by the time I got back, 1134 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 3: I felt like I lost the stuff. So you have 1135 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 3: to stay in it. You have to stay sharp because 1136 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 3: you'll get in there. And for me, at least, it 1137 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 3: takes a second to get back in the swing. So 1138 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,399 Speaker 3: at some point, I really I just want to listen 1139 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 3: to beats for a while. And she was compelling. 1140 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,280 Speaker 1: Do you work fast, pen pad? 1141 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,720 Speaker 3: No, some shit comes fast, some shit takes time. Okay, 1142 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 3: freestyling less and less. This is out of my road. 1143 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 3: I just wanted to write and take my time with 1144 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:56,959 Speaker 3: make sure every line was worth hearing. 1145 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,040 Speaker 1: Depending pad, iPad off my phone. 1146 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 7: Okay, notes airplane mode, I gotcha. 1147 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 4: I was talking about the last song, if we get 1148 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,720 Speaker 4: out of here, the questions. That's one of my favorites. 1149 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,320 Speaker 4: What was the mistake going into recording that record? 1150 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 3: I was high.
