107
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 5: this particulicular album. You know what I'm saying, what I'm

108
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 5: most proud of is what I'm most proud of. I

109
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 5: feel like we did a really good job, Like we

110
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 5: did a fantastic job dog of like capturing everything at

111
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 5: the same time, you know what I'm saying, Like coming

112
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 5: back to E at the end, telling them like, yo,

113
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. I want to I want

114
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 5: to make sure we do stuff in posts E trusting

115
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 5: me really, like certain times I wanted to take stuff

116
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 5: away or reorganize something because I just felt like I

117
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 5: was rapping and I couldn't compliment those.

118
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: Particular hats or I had a hat pattern.

119
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 5: Like him allowing me to tinker in the record making process,

120
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: not just respecting me, you know, andto being just the MC,

121
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: but allow me to make the best records that I could,

122
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 5: to compliment the productions for sure.

123
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: For sure. Man, So I'm gonna go through each one

124
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: of these songs. Man, I want you each to explain

125
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: to me. You know, I've heard the records already, but

126
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: the people out there obviously hasn't. I'm gonna go directly

127
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: the number two to cancel these nuts. What does cancel

128
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: these nuts about?

129
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: Man?

130
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: The title track?

131
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: Cancel these nets? So it's funny because I think that's

132
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: like self stated, you feel me.

133
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 5: But to me, honestly, it's a lot richer than most people.

134
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: Cancel these nuts.

135
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: To me is like.

136
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 5: I feel like the industry make a lot of artists,

137
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, the powers that be, the

138
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 5: the finance, the wealth Department makes a lot of artists,

139
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 5: so like they can cancel them.

140
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 4: They make you, they could break you. I always felt

141
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: like I was always.

142
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: Self made from the first day to the last name,

143
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, not self made.

144
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: Olivia made me.

145
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 5: But like as far as artistry didn't know, power, structure

146
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 5: decided I was gonna be it. Matter of fact, they

147
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 5: fought me tooth and nail the whole time, trying to

148
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 5: stop me from being it, and I'm still I still

149
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: end up becoming it, you know what I'm saying, So

150
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 5: cancel these nehsing is my attitude that I'm gonna say

151
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 5: whatever I want to say, and really there's nothing nobody

152
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 5: can really do about it, you.

153
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: Know what I mean.

154
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 5: There's no nothing nobody can do. You know what I mean,

155
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 5: because none of you motherfuckers made me.

156
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

157
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: Period, It's something that God did himself, I mean, and

158
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 5: my parents.

159
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: So this is what it's all about.

160
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you look at the culture and the climate

161
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: that we're in right now, it's really like that time. Man,

162
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: Like if you saw what they did. I know it's

163
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: a touchy subject, but if you saw what they did. R.

164
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Kelly for example, Yeah, he did some stuff that wasn't cool,

165
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: but it was a whole lot of people that needed

166
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: to be held accountable in that mix too, and they

167
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: just pretty much ruined that. Man.

168
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, Mark Kelly's situation is unique because really,

169
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 5: you know, if he committed a crime like any other criminal,

170
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 5: I understand. You know why they have a you know,

171
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: a penal system to try to keep balance, jac you

172
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. And I don't want without throwing

173
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: any other anybody else under the bus. I don't think

174
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 5: that's the most important part.

175
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: But they made R. Kelly so they break they could

176
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: break R. Kelly. They made it so they could break it.

177
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: And that's what I see, and that's what I mean

178
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: in his case. Right to me, it was a thing

179
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: to where everybody was just kind of moved away from him.

180
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: Didn't nobody want to be around them, didn't nobody want

181
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: them to backlash to go on them, nobody wanted to

182
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: suffer none of that heat. So it was like kind

183
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, we gonna throw him down the well.

184
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And it's funny because he did so much

185
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 5: for everybody, you know what I mean. And but that's

186
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 5: how it go I mean, man, that's why I run

187
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: these niggas off the block anyway, you know what I mean.

188
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: I don't let them be next to me anyway. I

189
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 5: don't let him absorb my energy. I don't let him

190
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: absorb my power. I don't let them I don't let

191
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 5: him be around me, you know what I mean, Because

192
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 5: I always already know like when it goes down, it

193
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: ain't no friends. So we're not gonna fake like we're

194
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: friends now. You know, maybe we could do some music,

195
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 5: you know, maybe we could do something. But the people

196
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 5: that fuck with me, they fuck with me right now.

197
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: So that's all it is.

198
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Exactly, man, because we are living in you know, it's

199
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: suppose it's to a certain level. We're supposed to have

200
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, right, but that seems to have been

201
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: thrown out the window nowadays. It's like, if you see

202
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: the thing about the wrong person, you could be in

203
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble.

204
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 5: Well you got the freedom, you know what I mean.

205
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 5: Just come with consequence, you know what I'm saying. And

206
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 5: to me, that's what cancel these nuts the whole album,

207
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. First track on Down is

208
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: about is regardless of the consequence, you know what I mean.

209
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: I'm not looking to make friends.

210
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: Now, EP, you are well reserved, brother, man, do you

211
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: need to records scare you?

212
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: I understand freedom of speech. I understand freedom of speech.

213
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: I agree with.

214
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 4: With the records, you know what I mean.

215
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: I agree with with telling our song. Mmm.

216
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 4: So they were funny to me, you know what I mean,

217
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: It's like, all right, well let's go.

218
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 5: I just think like a lot of it, a lot

219
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 5: of it was just really being funny, man, Like as

220
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: serious as subject matters or it was meant to be funny,

221
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 5: it's all funny.

222
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: You know. What man, and it's going on around like

223
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: time gets be flying? Gee, do you realize how long

224
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: then you've been messing with each other?

225
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: Dog? Over twenty years now? It was crazy.

226
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 5: I was thinking, it's crazy. So it's been eight years

227
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: since I released my last album. Glass House two was

228
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 5: like my tenth project. This makes my eleventh project, so

229
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 5: I can put out Glasshouse two in twenty fifteen. And

230
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 5: what really happened was in two, let's say twenty thirteen,

231
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 5: I started to kind of fall down this this this

232
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 5: this this.

233
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 4: Uh, this rabbit hole of hip hop and records, you know.

234
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 5: And I started off with records, you know, just that

235
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 5: journey of understanding what records are about the science of

236
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 5: communicating through songs, you know, I mean, because to me,

237
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 5: that's what records is. It's the science of communicating through songs.

238
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 5: People say, I use the word hit records or songs,

239
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 5: but it's not like records are the science of communicating

240
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 5: through songs, telling you an idea that makes it easy

241
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 5: for you to digest.

242
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: You can understand what the message I'm trying to cross

243
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 4: to you is.

244
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 5: Starting there, ending up in hip hop only being able

245
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 5: to get Glasshouse Too out because it was so like,

246
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: it was so much to learn all of this stuff

247
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 5: about records and hip hop and then to end up

248
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 5: trying to learn marketing. People don't know what the hell

249
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 5: I went through, you know what I mean. It was

250
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 5: just crazy. So I couldn't put out music at the

251
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 5: same time as learning, you know what I mean. It's

252
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 5: like trying to have a job being a doctor, you know,

253
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 5: while in medical school, you know what I mean. You

254
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 5: got to be at the very end, and it's like

255
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 5: you got to keep going back to school, you know,

256
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 5: even as a doctor, gonna keep having to learn stuff.

257
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: So that's what it felt like like being this kind

258
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 5: of one man you know, it's almost like a one

259
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 5: man army. But really you have so much respect for

260
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: what everybody else do, like what EP does as a producer,

261
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: what Lester and Jason Joshua and Ea Ski dos mix

262
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 5: is what you have to do as a manager, what

263
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 5: my job is, or what James Brown job was as

264
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 5: a record maker. And it's like going to school to

265
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: be a doctor, And it was no way I could

266
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 5: be out being a doctor while going to school to

267
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 5: be a doctor.

268
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: And that shit beat the shit out of me, you

269
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.

270
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 5: It took a long time, so we here eight years

271
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 5: later and I'm still grateful anyway, and now we just

272
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 5: got Now the work begins, which is crazy because like

273
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 5: we spent two years making this project. Me and EP

274
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 5: started just fooling around and then we figured god a

275
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 5: rhythm and you know, it.

276
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: Didn't take a ton of time, but we just knew

277
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 4: where we were going.

278
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 5: So it's it's I'm happy to be here, you know

279
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 5: what I mean. It took eight years to get to

280
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 5: this next album. It's eleventh project, but I'm grateful yet

281
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 5: to still.

282
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I love about it, man, is

283
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: y'all really took it back to what hip hop is

284
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: about the rapper and the producer actually being in the

285
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: studio together banging out records instead of just sending beats

286
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: over the internet, you know, emailing beats and you writing

287
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: your wraps and they know there's no cohesion to that sometimes.

288
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: You know, you hear records sometimes and they just sound

289
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: like they're missing something that a lot of times that's

290
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: the element of being in the room together.

291
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it just what the crazy is.

292
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 5: Me and E wasn't in the room all the time.

293
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 5: We might have been in the same room four times,

294
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 5: but we was on the phone, probably fucking our phone

295
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 5: numbers probably got thousands of hours.

296
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. It's crazy.

297
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: You know. Of course, with technology being is with it,

298
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: you know today you don't necessarily have to be in

299
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: the same room. But y'all was very much in concert us.

300
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 5: No man, We was passing records back a lot of

301
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 5: these songs, like epill tell you a lot of these songs.

302
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 5: These are like the thirteenth and fifteenth versions of the

303
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 5: exact songs. Yeah, like we might have went back and

304
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 5: forth ten twelve times in small details, adding small things

305
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 5: to hooks, like I hear Kanye should have never married

306
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 5: that bitch right now, and I always be like that

307
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 5: bitch belong, that bitch belonged. I should ask somebody with

308
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: a d voice, come on, that bitch belong that bitch

309
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 5: belong be long to the street. I could keep hearing

310
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 5: that detail. Yeah, you know what I mean, and I

311
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 5: don't have it. So I used to laugh when Dre

312
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 5: all the niggas used to tell me they used to

313
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 5: feel like a record wasn't finished because when I first

314
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: got the bend and I'm like, oh, this record done,

315
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 5: but now I get it. So a lot of the

316
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 5: dumb shit I thought at first, I felt like asshole

317
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 5: for thinking it.

318
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: I would say this, I would say this. Still it

319
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: boils down to one word, and that's trust.

320
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: Like I trust him, you know what I mean, I

321
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: trust him with the I ain't never just gain nobody

322
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: my sessions, and like, hey man, just do what you

323
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: do what you do, that's true, and vice versa, like

324
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: he's never really done records like this, but like I know,

325
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: he gets it, and he puts the right subjects to

326
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: the right text of music, and it just worked. So

327
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: it worked so easily and so fluently that that it

328
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: was it's easy.

329
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: I can't wait to do this. That's a great point.

330
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 5: Like it was times I was like, yo, he sent

331
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 5: me the session, and I might not want to arrange nothing,

332
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 5: but like I might need to really just you know

333
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, like do something here. I need to

334
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 5: move something so I could do something right here and

335
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 5: then I can bring it back so you know, and

336
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 5: a lot of times I even engineered, you know what

337
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 5: I mean.

338
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: I'll send him back some shit I could to say, gee,

339
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: let me give your credits too, because a lot of

340
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: them drops you here on the records, Bro, that's him.

341
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 4: He created them drops in spaces and even some of

342
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: the collaps and rhythms. And I'm like, only a hand

343
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: for only.

344
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: She is actually turning into a really good all around artist.

345
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: He's producing, yeah, you know what, you know he's producing. Now,

346
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: he's writing. And I remember it used to be funny

347
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: when I first met G and he make records. I

348
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: always knew he was a bad motherfucker on the mic, right,

349
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: but we was.

350
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: You know, we start fucking hook sound like a rap?

351
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: Like why do your hook sound like a rap?

352
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: To kind of tell him because he was in there

353
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: making records now here, I'm just going off on his

354
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: hook and I'd be like, bru, that sounds like another

355
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: damn verse. Man, It's like shorten that sh up.

356
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

357
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 5: What's crazy is I ain't grew up listening Like I

358
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 5: grew up listening to music, but I didn't grow up

359
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 5: wanting even be a rapper, So structure was not my

360
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 5: strong suit.

361
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: But again we.

362
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 5: Though, like White Lightning, we don't don't get a lot

363
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 5: of credit because he moved to Atlanta. It was dope

364
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 5: working with EP like he This is the truth like

365
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 5: it ain't about EP is the producer of the project.

366
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: But we made records together like we're gonna go back

367
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 4: and forth and I'm gonna keep pushing him.

368
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 5: And it was really wonderful, doggor It really was fun,

369
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like the business side, we

370
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 5: got so much stuff to do, man, But it's like

371
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 5: it was. It was, it was. It was better. It

372
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: was a It was a better experience than I thought

373
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 5: it actually would be.

374
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: You know what I think about sometimes, man, And I

375
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: really think about this, man, just from where you at

376
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: as an artist, man in the chemistry that when EP

377
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: got I'd be thinking sometimes, Man, I wish you would

378
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: have had this shit when we was on the Big Boys.

379
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 5: Funny man, it wouldn't have worked as well like I

380
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 5: mean it had been. I think I would have had

381
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 5: way better records, you know what I mean than I

382
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 5: had to some degree, especially the second you know, move

383
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: a Beach Cruiser.

384
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 4: But it's better now, you know what I mean.

385
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 5: To sound crazy, and I know we don't got you know,

386
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 5: Birdman writing four million dollar checks, but the music is

387
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 5: so powerful in itself that it's going to create four

388
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 5: million dollars worth of promotion no matter what so I

389
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 5: always I thought of that. I'm like, damn, man, I

390
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 5: wish I'd been having EP do this and that. And

391
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: then I, you know, again, questioning God ain't necessarily the

392
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: smartest move. You know he got He put EP right

393
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 5: in my and my and my wheelhouse right when I

394
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 5: needed in there, you know what I mean, when it

395
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 5: would make sense when I could appreciate even what he does,

396
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 5: Like my appreciation for what he does is unbelievable versus

397
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 5: when I first met him, I just knew he made

398
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 5: beats and he could play. I didn't really understand, you

399
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 5: know what, being a real you know player mint that

400
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 5: shit is different.

401
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. We was just talking about that, and

402
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: I was telling the man, I wish I could play

403
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: the piano, because it's different. When you were up there

404
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: and EP was just in there playing ship without looking

405
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: at it, that was me.

406
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 4: I'm on that motherfucking EP.

407
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 5: And this is the point, like, this is where nobody understands,

408
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 5: And this is where it won't matter when you listen

409
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 5: to cancel these nuts unless you really know this motherfuckering

410
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 5: straight up.

411
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 4: He don't loop the melody lines.

412
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: Through. Ain't that something else?

413
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

414
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 3: And I gotta I gotta thank G too, because like

415
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: me and G had a conversation. Bro like it. It

416
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 3: goes back and forth. Because we had a conversation. I'm like, man,

417
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 3: I gotta get my name in the street. I'm tired

418
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: of these little niggas like man E P.

419
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: I heard EP.

420
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 3: He's like, no, nigga, I'm finna get your name back

421
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 3: because I do stuff for Tech nine and jay Z

422
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: and all these but it ain't in my backyard, you

423
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 3: know what I mean. So I met G when I

424
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: did Bastards of the Party the whole soundtrack, so Bone

425
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 3: introduced me to him. But the record he put he

426
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: made on there was he put a hook on it

427
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: by one of my favorite artists, which is uh with

428
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 3: John Mayer waiting on the world, waiting for the world

429
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 3: to change.

430
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, how.

431
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: Did this this dude come up with that hook for

432
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 3: that song. So I had an appreciation for him because

433
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 3: of the musical IQ was so high even back then

434
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: that was what like seven o nine something like that,

435
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 3: and we always said we're gonna work together, and like.

436
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 5: He said, dumb, we learned stuff alone the line, Yeah,

437
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 5: I mean, we knocked out other records and I came

438
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 5: and did something. He did something for me, playing on

439
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 5: stuff on white Lightning and two you know what I mean.

440
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 5: But like when I when I finally came out of

441
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 5: this cocoon, you know what I mean, like like this

442
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 5: metamorphosis and be coming to like this this like I'm

443
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 5: really a professional rapper. Like I went from being a

444
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 5: street nigga, like a nigga that used to sell drugs

445
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 5: and gang man and thought I was getting over on

446
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 5: the rap industry to becoming a professional rapper, professional record

447
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: So you know, coming EP, it was just at the

448
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 5: right time where you know, I knew exactly in my mind,

449
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 5: I knew exactly what to do, you know what I mean.

450
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 4: Once we once we caught one.

451
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 5: All it took was one because we did about four

452
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 5: records before we caught one, and I was like, Okay,

453
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 5: this is where we're gonna murder at.

454
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: And this is still this is odd too, because we

455
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: made up tempo records very very easily, and normally those

456
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: are the records that are the hardest to make because

457
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: people over think those records and they like I need

458
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 3: a hit, I need to hit them, and me and

459
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: G was just knocking them out the park.

460
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 4: Organically without even trying.

461
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: That's when you use to get your best work. You

462
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: know what I want to do, g Before we continue

463
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: on with the album, I want to do a six

464
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: to seven minute breakdown to just your history and music

465
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: from where you came from to where you are at

466
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: this moment, because I really feel like that this is

467
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: kind of like your what's the word I'm looking for?

468
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: This is your shining moments, your grand moment right this

469
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: album right here, this is the culmination of y'all work

470
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: and just me seeing y'all just do what y'all do

471
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: over the past few years. Right, I don't think people realized.

472
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: I want them to get an appreciation. Man, you came out, man,

473
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: you came out of games Camp and had one of

474
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: the biggest buzzes on the West Coast that somebody had

475
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: in a long time, right Yeah, yeah, because I was

476
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: listening to you and I was like, I remember my

477
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: boy black toning up in the shop talking about you,

478
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: and then you was up there. You know, one day

479
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: you was playing your record that you had with battle Cat. Yeah,

480
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: you was playing with your record that you had with

481
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: battle Cat Man. And you know, to go from there, man,

482
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: to having this bidding war man that going to Sony Man,

483
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: do you ever feel like, man, that you've lived a

484
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: thousand lives in this industry?

485
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 5: Shit, Before I got into the industry, just being in

486
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 5: the streets, you know, you sell shrim and shit and

487
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 5: you gang bang man that you.

488
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 4: Feel like you lived a thousand dollars there.

489
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 5: So coming into the industry, you know, I really didn't

490
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 5: know what to expect. Honestly, I really will. I really

491
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 5: had different.

492
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 4: Plans for myself. I wanted to have more.

493
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: Like a death Row, like a street funded like like

494
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 5: a dope boy funded street label, you know what I mean.

495
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 5: They put out records under there, and you know, I

496
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 5: got through into the real major leagues, you know what

497
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Like not like death Row. It was like, yo,

498
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: you gotta make records with Lil Wayne at this point,

499
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So before I even got

500
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 5: to the industry, I felt like I lived a thousand lives.

501
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 5: Then in the industry, I've been through hell and back,

502
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Upside down it's nothing.

503
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: So you can guys put another project like this right man,

504
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: and you're going through what all you've been through. It's

505
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: almost like you went to college. That's what it really

506
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: feels like.

507
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 5: And it's a lot more like medical school than anything because.

508
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: Actually, like you know, like you're actually in a graduate school,

509
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: Like you just graduated graduate school with this right here.

510
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 5: You know what's funny, Man, I put in probably roughly

511
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 5: purely three years on just records, just understanding what records were.

512
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 5: Then I put in another two three years on understanding

513
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: what hip hop was like being able to simplify it

514
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 5: into one, two, three, four five. It's why we always argue,

515
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 5: Like I always, even people like you who grew up

516
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 5: in the thick of everything, I'm like, nonfool.

517
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 4: You just was living it.

518
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 5: There's a real consistency of exactly what it is over

519
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: and over again. And I feel that's why my opinion

520
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 5: is so strong, because I gave blood up, you know

521
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 5: what I mean, the same something I was doing playing,

522
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? I made it twenty four hours

523
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 5: a day. And it's funny because marketing is a thing

524
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 5: I spent the least amount of time understanding. But I

525
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 5: felt like I would say I have a doctorates in marketing,

526
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: Like I have conversations with people with master's degree in marketing,

527
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 5: and I'll be schooling them because they don't fucking know.

528
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 5: I put a lot of the ideas and their wheelhouse

529
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 5: that make it simple to term hip hop. I feel

530
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 5: like I got a master's, But records is always something.

531
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 4: I feel like, there's so much more to learn.

532
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: Oh what's a forever evolving thing?

533
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: Man?

534
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 5: Like like hip hop, I feel like I don't have

535
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: a ton much more to learn. It's more about feeling

536
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 5: in some dots of history here and there. Marketing is

537
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 5: pretty much a philosophy that can be evolved into however,

538
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 5: you know, whatever place it needs to live. But records, man,

539
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 5: it's so many fucking records to learn. And that's why.

540
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 5: Like when I look at somebody like doctor Dre and

541
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 5: I think about, you know, two thousand and one, you

542
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 5: know what I mean, Like.

543
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: He took a picture in front of.

544
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 5: Those vinyls, and I'm like, oh my god, I finally

545
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 5: understand what it means. Even like he as a as

546
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 5: a real professional player of music and a part of

547
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 5: a band and conductor of a band. It's like my

548
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 5: respect for him is different because you know, you go

549
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 5: back to guys like James Brown. Those guys have to

550
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 5: play music to eat dinnerible.

551
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: I just don't video shoot. Saturday brought. I said, man,

552
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: where was you? Where you're coming from? He said, man,

553
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: I just had to play. I said, man, how awesome

554
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: is that that you get to go your job? Is

555
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: you actually doing what you love and you just go

556
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: I want to play some music.

557
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 5: But think about it, like when you when people look

558
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 5: at artists like James Brown and they wonder why it

559
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 5: worked them. Dudes was traveling around the South, you know,

560
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 5: for two years playing music to eat dinner. Like I

561
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 5: was telling Metro this shout out to my boy Metro

562
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 5: with Thomas Music and his artists, and he was like,

563
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 5: his artists were struggling to kind of cross over into

564
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 5: the business. And I'm like, that's because they don't have

565
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 5: to do this to eat dinner. Like even people ask

566
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: me how was I able to get a deal so fast,

567
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 5: you know, my situation with White Lightning to move so

568
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: many CDs. I'm like, because they got to the point

569
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 5: to where I was doing this to eat dinner, So

570
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 5: there was no room.

571
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: To be fucking.

572
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 5: I had to understand and learn what was going on.

573
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 5: And so when I back to the records, when I

574
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 5: when I look at him, you know, somebody like EP

575
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 5: who plays he knows what everybody's this to. When he

576
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 5: go plays at a party. He got to play the

577
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 5: songs people want to dance to or they want book

578
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: his ass again. And don't get me wrong, he might

579
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 5: got now you know, if he got some royalty money

580
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 5: and some money from other little stuff, and but he

581
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 5: need that and you know, he need to play the

582
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 5: music that they want to hear.

583
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, have it you?

584
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 5: I mean, So it's nothing when he comes in there

585
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 5: and he starts to play music to make an album,

586
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 5: because he already playing what made people like you know,

587
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 5: as we start working on the next project, which is

588
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 5: gonna come back, it's gonna come together a lot faster.

589
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: Man.

590
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 5: We just gonna keep focusing on what people want to

591
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: hear to make them be on the dance floor and

592
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 5: and escape their real life for that four hours that

593
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 5: that him and the band is playing, and him and

594
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 5: with him and Furnished and the Furnace band.

595
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: Is playing exactly man. You know one of the songs

596
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: on here, man's a testament to your marketing progress. Man,

597
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: it's Kanye should have never married that bitch.

598
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out to the panic at the disco. It's

599
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 4: funny is me. EP talked about that for four days.

600
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 5: People think that was like some tongue in cheek shit

601
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 5: where I was just like, oh, let me just talk

602
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 5: about Kanye, and it was like, no, we made the record.

603
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 5: The rerecord didn't even have that title. The record was

604
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 5: just the record byself and it was great. But it

605
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 5: was like, yo, like why should people care what happened

606
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 5: to that bitch? Most of these people are not streaked,

607
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 5: especially in today's time, so even the lingo, like when

608
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 5: we say a bitch belongs to the street, they can't

609
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 5: even recognize that lingo and slang itself is not as

610
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 5: phenomenal as it once was, you know, appealing to mainstream.

611
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 5: And I remember calling EP telling them like, yeah, we

612
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 5: need to figure out we need to put this in

613
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 5: the mainstream publics, right in their perspective so they can

614
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: be like, oh, that type of girl.

615
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 4: And so we start.

616
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 5: Talking about it, and you know, I remember this nigga

617
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 5: worked with Kanye three four five albums. I'm like, shit,

618
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 5: I was like, this motherfucker got the perfect motherfucker. He's like, well,

619
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 5: you know what, gee, niggo, He'll.

620
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 4: Be all right, it's cool. This is what we're doing.

621
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 5: And I remember just reading so many old titles, them

622
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 5: long titles.

623
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 4: Panic at the Disco.

624
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 5: I was in high school when that shit came out,

625
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: and I remember just these as titles, and I was thinking,

626
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 5: like you only have when you look on a playlist

627
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 5: on Spotify, though you don't even get to see the picture.

628
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: The picture is tiny, the artist name is tiny.

629
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 5: The only thing you can see is the title of

630
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 5: the song, like, Yo, we need something long as fuck.

631
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: So when people read it, they like, what the fuck

632
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 4: kind of you know what I mean? And yeah, but

633
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 4: it wasn't like some people like to call a term.

634
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 5: I think I used to hear all the time it's clickbait,

635
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 5: and it's like, that's not clickbait.

636
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: That bitch really belongs to the street.

637
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: Well, actually what you did, man, is you discovered seo

638
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: as well. That's a long tail keyword that you created.

639
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: You know, kind should have never made.

640
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 4: It's a conversation piece, but.

641
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: Piece, you created a long tail keyword, man, And I

642
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: won't you know, get in that. That's a whole nother science, right,

643
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: But I noticed, I said, Man, the titles that you

644
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: come up with, you don't waste, You don't waste space. Yeah,

645
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: you take everything serious. Now, I know a lot of

646
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: people when I've talked to a lot of the other homies,

647
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the you know, other rappers in La Man,

648
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: she is dope. He just overthink stuff. I say, no,

649
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: he's not really overthinking, and he's just doing it right.

650
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: He's striving for perfection or really just trying to reach

651
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: their violent records.

652
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 5: And because everybody else feel like if they put out

653
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 5: a thousand records, they'll get there. That's the point where

654
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 5: records it really take one, you know what I mean.

655
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 5: Nobody got there with a thousand records. It still only

656
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 5: took one. We can talk about a thousand records, it

657
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 5: took one. You feel me Like Michael Jackson is still thriller.

658
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 5: It take one, you know what I'm saying. So everyone

659
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 5: deserves Dre says something that's really dope. Everything's important. I

660
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 5: spell them with two e's everything's important. With the E

661
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 5: it's E square everything's important. So if I can't take

662
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 5: a little extra time to figure out the title, you

663
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 5: know what I mean.

664
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 4: It's one song.

665
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 5: Something like we're doing all this content for people to

666
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 5: discover this dope ass music. It's gonna take one song

667
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 5: at one time, and when that one time happened, that song.

668
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 4: Need to have layers.

669
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: Exactly believe that. I believe that because that one song

670
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: is going to bring everybody back to your previous releases

671
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: and go have them anticipate in everything that you put

672
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: out in the future. So it's definitely a very important thing. Man.

673
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: I think people underestimate.

674
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,720

Speaker 1: a whole different conversation. I'm even thinking about throwing it

782
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: in there. That's why I want to listen to it

783
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: to night in this entirety, and I want to you know,

784
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to seem biased, because see when I

785
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: talk about you were eight, I don't want nobody thinking

786
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: of he's just saying that because he got this. No,

787
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 1: it ain't like that. I'm very honest.

788
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 4: It might be, Yeah, I don't know. That's that's I don't.

789
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: Know if it's top twenty, bro, but it's for sure.

790
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if I was banging more than the

791
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 5: shadiest one, but I'm sure y'all don't have the shadiest

792
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 5: one in this proper position.

793
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: So I don't know the shadiest one is actually one

794
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: of our records in that though. Man, that's for the

795
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: to wait and find out, like everybody.

796
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 5: Okay, So it's somewhere in the top twenty five. Yeah, somewhere, okay,

797
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 5: long because if it wasn't in the top twenty five,

798
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 5: I wasn't gonna I was gonna disregard y'all opinion completely.

799
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: You know it is, man Dub put his foot in this,

800
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: But I would say, man, that cancel these nuts. Man,

801
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: I think you know it's hard to defind it. See,

802
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: I don't believe in calling the record the classic. Man,

803
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: until it's been out, you don't know if it's in

804
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: the classic to five ten years down the line.

805
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 5: Well, to me, it ain't even I don't even use

806
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 5: that term no more because I don't know if we

807
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 5: have the time for it.

808
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 4: But what I definitely want to do is make.

809
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 5: It a timestamp of twenty twenty three and twenty four.

810
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 5: I want you to feel like, eventually, somewhere along the line,

811
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 5: this album had to mean something to you or represented something,

812
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 5: or you didn't like something about it during that time.

813
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 5: And I think that that becomes the goal now that

814
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 5: we got it out, because we didn't do a ton

815
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 5: of marketing up front.

816
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 4: What's funny is we just start marketing and idea this.

817
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 5: Week and people starting to see the ideas and like,

818
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 5: it's crazy to watch them come to life and people

819
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 5: just be enamored, like wow, you know what I.

820
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 3: Mean, and we just I can say one thing is

821
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: doing is bringing back the feeling of man, uh, I'm

822
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: glad you saying it.

823

Speaker 4: Somebody needs to say.

824
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 3: It's hands down is getting that reaction so I can.

825
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely a recovery mission. It's not a discovery

826
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 5: mission like hip hop used to be. It's more of

827
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 5: a like recovering the thing that the West Coast represented.
