<v Speaker 4>was Tuesday.

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 5>I know that sounds crazy, but people like you who

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 5>know me, you feel me, y'all know exactly what I

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.799
<v Speaker 5>mean when I say it's Tuesday, Like this is just normally,

0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 5>this is what the flavor of the week was for

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 5>this particulicular album. You know what I'm saying, what I'm

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 5>most proud of is what I'm most proud of. I

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 5>feel like we did a really good job, Like we

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.840
<v Speaker 5>did a fantastic job dog of like capturing everything at

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.239
<v Speaker 5>the same time, you know what I'm saying, Like coming

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 5>back to E at the end, telling them like, yo,

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean. I want to I want

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.479
<v Speaker 5>to make sure we do stuff in posts E trusting

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 5>me really, like certain times I wanted to take stuff

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 5>away or reorganize something because I just felt like I

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 5>was rapping and I couldn't compliment those.

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Particular hats or I had a hat pattern.

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.679
<v Speaker 5>Like him allowing me to tinker in the record making process,

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 5>not just respecting me, you know, andto being just the MC,

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 5>but allow me to make the best records that I could,

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 5>to compliment the productions for sure.

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>For sure. Man, So I'm gonna go through each one

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 1>of these songs. Man, I want you each to explain

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to me. You know, I've heard the records already, but

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the people out there obviously hasn't. I'm gonna go directly

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.119
<v Speaker 1>the number two to cancel these nuts. What does cancel

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>these nuts about?

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>The title track?

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Cancel these nets? So it's funny because I think that's

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 4>like self stated, you feel me.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:27.479
<v Speaker 5>But to me, honestly, it's a lot richer than most people.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 4>Cancel these nuts.

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>To me is like.

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 5>I feel like the industry make a lot of artists,

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean, the powers that be, the

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 5>the finance, the wealth Department makes a lot of artists,

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 5>so like they can cancel them.

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 4>They make you, they could break you. I always felt

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 4>like I was always.

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 5>Self made from the first day to the last name,

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, I mean, not self made.

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 4>Olivia made me.

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 5>But like as far as artistry didn't know, power, structure

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 5>decided I was gonna be it. Matter of fact, they

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 5>fought me tooth and nail the whole time, trying to

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 5>stop me from being it, and I'm still I still

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 5>end up becoming it, you know what I'm saying, So

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 5>cancel these nehsing is my attitude that I'm gonna say

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 5>whatever I want to say, and really there's nothing nobody

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 5>can really do about it, you.

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Know what I mean.

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 5>There's no nothing nobody can do. You know what I mean,

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 5>because none of you motherfuckers made me.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying.

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 5>Period, It's something that God did himself, I mean, and

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 5>my parents.

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 4>So this is what it's all about.

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you look at the culture and the climate

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that we're in right now, it's really like that time. Man,

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Like if you saw what they did. I know it's

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a touchy subject, but if you saw what they did. R.

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Kelly for example, Yeah, he did some stuff that wasn't cool,

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>but it was a whole lot of people that needed

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to be held accountable in that mix too, and they

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>just pretty much ruined that. Man.

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean, Mark Kelly's situation is unique because really,

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.239
<v Speaker 5>you know, if he committed a crime like any other criminal,

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 5>I understand. You know why they have a you know,

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 5>a penal system to try to keep balance, jac you

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying. And I don't want without throwing

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 5>any other anybody else under the bus. I don't think

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 5>that's the most important part.

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 4>But they made R. Kelly so they break they could

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 4>break R. Kelly. They made it so they could break it.

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I see, and that's what I mean

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>in his case. Right to me, it was a thing

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to where everybody was just kind of moved away from him.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Didn't nobody want to be around them, didn't nobody want

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>them to backlash to go on them, nobody wanted to

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>suffer none of that heat. So it was like kind

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>of like, Okay, we gonna throw him down the well.

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, And it's funny because he did so much

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.719
<v Speaker 5>for everybody, you know what I mean. And but that's

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 5>how it go I mean, man, that's why I run

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 5>these niggas off the block anyway, you know what I mean.

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 5>I don't let them be next to me anyway. I

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 5>don't let him absorb my energy. I don't let him

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 5>absorb my power. I don't let them I don't let

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 5>him be around me, you know what I mean, Because

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 5>I always already know like when it goes down, it

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 5>ain't no friends. So we're not gonna fake like we're

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 5>friends now. You know, maybe we could do some music,

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, maybe we could do something. But the people

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 5>that fuck with me, they fuck with me right now.

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 5>So that's all it is.

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, man, because we are living in you know, it's

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 1>suppose it's to a certain level. We're supposed to have

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>freedom of speech, right, but that seems to have been

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 1>thrown out the window nowadays. It's like, if you see

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the thing about the wrong person, you could be in

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of trouble.

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 5>Well you got the freedom, you know what I mean.

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Just come with consequence, you know what I'm saying. And

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 5>to me, that's what cancel these nuts the whole album,

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean. First track on Down is

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 5>about is regardless of the consequence, you know what I mean.

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm not looking to make friends.

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, EP, you are well reserved, brother, man, do you

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>need to records scare you?

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I understand freedom of speech. I understand freedom of speech.

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 3>I agree with.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 4>With the records, you know what I mean.

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I agree with with telling our song. Mmm.

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 4>So they were funny to me, you know what I mean,

0:09:58.679 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 4>It's like, all right, well let's go.

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 5>I just think like a lot of it, a lot

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 5>of it was just really being funny, man, Like as

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 5>serious as subject matters or it was meant to be funny,

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 5>it's all funny.

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>You know. What man, and it's going on around like

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.559
<v Speaker 1>time gets be flying? Gee, do you realize how long

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>then you've been messing with each other?

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 4>Dog? Over twenty years now? It was crazy.

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:31.959
<v Speaker 5>I was thinking, it's crazy. So it's been eight years

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 5>since I released my last album. Glass House two was

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 5>like my tenth project. This makes my eleventh project, so

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 5>I can put out Glasshouse two in twenty fifteen. And

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 5>what really happened was in two, let's say twenty thirteen,

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 5>I started to kind of fall down this this this

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 5>this this.

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 4>Uh, this rabbit hole of hip hop and records, you know.

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 5>And I started off with records, you know, just that

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 5>journey of understanding what records are about the science of

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 5>communicating through songs, you know, I mean, because to me,

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.319
<v Speaker 5>that's what records is. It's the science of communicating through songs.

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 5>People say, I use the word hit records or songs,

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 5>but it's not like records are the science of communicating

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.079
<v Speaker 5>through songs, telling you an idea that makes it easy

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 5>for you to digest.

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 4>You can understand what the message I'm trying to cross

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 4>to you is.

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 5>Starting there, ending up in hip hop only being able

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 5>to get Glasshouse Too out because it was so like,

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 5>it was so much to learn all of this stuff

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.720
<v Speaker 5>about records and hip hop and then to end up

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 5>trying to learn marketing. People don't know what the hell

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 5>I went through, you know what I mean. It was

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 5>just crazy. So I couldn't put out music at the

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 5>same time as learning, you know what I mean. It's

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 5>like trying to have a job being a doctor, you know,

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 5>while in medical school, you know what I mean. You

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 5>got to be at the very end, and it's like

0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 5>you got to keep going back to school, you know,

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 5>even as a doctor, gonna keep having to learn stuff.

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 5>So that's what it felt like like being this kind

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 5>of one man you know, it's almost like a one

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.839
<v Speaker 5>man army. But really you have so much respect for

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 5>what everybody else do, like what EP does as a producer,

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 5>what Lester and Jason Joshua and Ea Ski dos mix

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.719
<v Speaker 5>is what you have to do as a manager, what

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.719
<v Speaker 5>my job is, or what James Brown job was as

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 5>a record maker. And it's like going to school to

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 5>be a doctor, And it was no way I could

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 5>be out being a doctor while going to school to

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 5>be a doctor.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 4>And that shit beat the shit out of me, you

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying.

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 5>It took a long time, so we here eight years

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 5>later and I'm still grateful anyway, and now we just

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 5>got Now the work begins, which is crazy because like

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.839
<v Speaker 5>we spent two years making this project. Me and EP

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.959
<v Speaker 5>started just fooling around and then we figured god a

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.199
<v Speaker 5>rhythm and you know, it.

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Didn't take a ton of time, but we just knew

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 4>where we were going.

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.599
<v Speaker 5>So it's it's I'm happy to be here, you know

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 5>what I mean. It took eight years to get to

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 5>this next album. It's eleventh project, but I'm grateful yet

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 5>to still.

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know what I love about it, man, is

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>y'all really took it back to what hip hop is

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>about the rapper and the producer actually being in the

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 1>studio together banging out records instead of just sending beats

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.319
<v Speaker 1>over the internet, you know, emailing beats and you writing

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 1>your wraps and they know there's no cohesion to that sometimes.

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, you hear records sometimes and they just sound

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.559
<v Speaker 1>like they're missing something that a lot of times that's

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the element of being in the room together.

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but it just what the crazy is.

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 5>Me and E wasn't in the room all the time.

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 5>We might have been in the same room four times,

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 5>but we was on the phone, probably fucking our phone

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 5>numbers probably got thousands of hours.

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying. It's crazy.

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>You know. Of course, with technology being is with it,

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you know today you don't necessarily have to be in

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the same room. But y'all was very much in concert us.

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 5>No man, We was passing records back a lot of

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 5>these songs, like epill tell you a lot of these songs.

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 5>These are like the thirteenth and fifteenth versions of the

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 5>exact songs. Yeah, like we might have went back and

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 5>forth ten twelve times in small details, adding small things

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 5>to hooks, like I hear Kanye should have never married

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 5>that bitch right now, and I always be like that

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 5>bitch belong, that bitch belonged. I should ask somebody with

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 5>a d voice, come on, that bitch belong that bitch

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 5>belong be long to the street. I could keep hearing

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 5>that detail. Yeah, you know what I mean, and I

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 5>don't have it. So I used to laugh when Dre

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 5>all the niggas used to tell me they used to

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 5>feel like a record wasn't finished because when I first

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 5>got the bend and I'm like, oh, this record done,

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 5>but now I get it. So a lot of the

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 5>dumb shit I thought at first, I felt like asshole

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 5>for thinking it.

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 4>I would say this, I would say this. Still it

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 4>boils down to one word, and that's trust.

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 3>Like I trust him, you know what I mean, I

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 3>trust him with the I ain't never just gain nobody

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 3>my sessions, and like, hey man, just do what you

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 3>do what you do, that's true, and vice versa, like

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 3>he's never really done records like this, but like I know,

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 3>he gets it, and he puts the right subjects to

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 3>the right text of music, and it just worked. So

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 3>it worked so easily and so fluently that that it

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 3>was it's easy.

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 4>I can't wait to do this. That's a great point.

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 5>Like it was times I was like, yo, he sent

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 5>me the session, and I might not want to arrange nothing,

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 5>but like I might need to really just you know

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 5>what I'm saying, like do something here. I need to

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 5>move something so I could do something right here and

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 5>then I can bring it back so you know, and

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 5>a lot of times I even engineered, you know what

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean.

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 3>I'll send him back some shit I could to say, gee,

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 3>let me give your credits too, because a lot of

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 3>them drops you here on the records, Bro, that's him.

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 4>He created them drops in spaces and even some of

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 4>the collaps and rhythms. And I'm like, only a hand

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 4>for only.

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 1>She is actually turning into a really good all around artist.

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>He's producing, yeah, you know what, you know he's producing. Now,

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 1>he's writing. And I remember it used to be funny

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>when I first met G and he make records. I

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>always knew he was a bad motherfucker on the mic, right,

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>but we was.

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, we start fucking hook sound like a rap?

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Like why do your hook sound like a rap?

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>To kind of tell him because he was in there

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 1>making records now here, I'm just going off on his

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>hook and I'd be like, bru, that sounds like another

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>damn verse. Man, It's like shorten that sh up.

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean.

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 5>What's crazy is I ain't grew up listening Like I

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 5>grew up listening to music, but I didn't grow up

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 5>wanting even be a rapper, So structure was not my

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 5>strong suit.

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 1>But again we.

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 5>Though, like White Lightning, we don't don't get a lot

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 5>of credit because he moved to Atlanta. It was dope

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 5>working with EP like he This is the truth like

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 5>it ain't about EP is the producer of the project.

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 4>But we made records together like we're gonna go back

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 4>and forth and I'm gonna keep pushing him.

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 5>And it was really wonderful, doggor It really was fun,

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean, Like the business side, we

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 5>got so much stuff to do, man, But it's like

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 5>it was. It was, it was. It was better. It

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 5>was a It was a better experience than I thought

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 5>it actually would be.

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what I think about sometimes, man, And I

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 1>really think about this, man, just from where you at

0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>as an artist, man in the chemistry that when EP

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>got I'd be thinking sometimes, Man, I wish you would

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>have had this shit when we was on the Big Boys.

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 5>Funny man, it wouldn't have worked as well like I

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:11.919
<v Speaker 5>mean it had been. I think I would have had

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 5>way better records, you know what I mean than I

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.360
<v Speaker 5>had to some degree, especially the second you know, move

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 5>a Beach Cruiser.

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 4>But it's better now, you know what I mean.

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.439
<v Speaker 5>To sound crazy, and I know we don't got you know,

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 5>Birdman writing four million dollar checks, but the music is

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 5>so powerful in itself that it's going to create four

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 5>million dollars worth of promotion no matter what so I

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.119
<v Speaker 5>always I thought of that. I'm like, damn, man, I

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.160
<v Speaker 5>wish I'd been having EP do this and that. And

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 5>then I, you know, again, questioning God ain't necessarily the

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 5>smartest move. You know he got He put EP right

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.439
<v Speaker 5>in my and my and my wheelhouse right when I

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 5>needed in there, you know what I mean, when it

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 5>would make sense when I could appreciate even what he does,

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 5>Like my appreciation for what he does is unbelievable versus

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.960
<v Speaker 5>when I first met him, I just knew he made

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.399
<v Speaker 5>beats and he could play. I didn't really understand, you

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 5>know what, being a real you know player mint that

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 5>shit is different.

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure. We was just talking about that, and

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I was telling the man, I wish I could play

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the piano, because it's different. When you were up there

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and EP was just in there playing ship without looking

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:12.240
<v Speaker 1>at it, that was me.

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm on that motherfucking EP.

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 5>And this is the point, like, this is where nobody understands,

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 5>And this is where it won't matter when you listen

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 5>to cancel these nuts unless you really know this motherfuckering

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:23.679
<v Speaker 5>straight up.

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 4>He don't loop the melody lines.

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Through. Ain't that something else?

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 3>And I gotta I gotta thank G too, because like

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 3>me and G had a conversation. Bro like it. It

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.800
<v Speaker 3>goes back and forth. Because we had a conversation. I'm like, man,

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 3>I gotta get my name in the street. I'm tired

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 3>of these little niggas like man E P.

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I heard EP.

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.640
<v Speaker 3>He's like, no, nigga, I'm finna get your name back

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 3>because I do stuff for Tech nine and jay Z

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 3>and all these but it ain't in my backyard, you

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean. So I met G when I

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 3>did Bastards of the Party the whole soundtrack, so Bone

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 3>introduced me to him. But the record he put he

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 3>made on there was he put a hook on it

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 3>by one of my favorite artists, which is uh with

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 3>John Mayer waiting on the world, waiting for the world

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 3>to change.

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:14.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, damn, how.

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 3>Did this this dude come up with that hook for

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.919
<v Speaker 3>that song. So I had an appreciation for him because

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.360
<v Speaker 3>of the musical IQ was so high even back then

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 3>that was what like seven o nine something like that,

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.640
<v Speaker 3>and we always said we're gonna work together, and like.

0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.880
<v Speaker 5>He said, dumb, we learned stuff alone the line, Yeah,

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we knocked out other records and I came

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.199
<v Speaker 5>and did something. He did something for me, playing on

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 5>stuff on white Lightning and two you know what I mean.

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 5>But like when I when I finally came out of

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.159
<v Speaker 5>this cocoon, you know what I mean, like like this

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 5>metamorphosis and be coming to like this this like I'm

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 5>really a professional rapper. Like I went from being a

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 5>street nigga, like a nigga that used to sell drugs

0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 5>and gang man and thought I was getting over on

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 5>the rap industry to becoming a professional rapper, professional record

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 5>So you know, coming EP, it was just at the

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 5>right time where you know, I knew exactly in my mind,

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 5>I knew exactly what to do, you know what I mean.

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 4>Once we once we caught one.

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.680
<v Speaker 5>All it took was one because we did about four

0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 5>records before we caught one, and I was like, Okay,

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 5>this is where we're gonna murder at.

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 3>And this is still this is odd too, because we

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 3>made up tempo records very very easily, and normally those

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 3>are the records that are the hardest to make because

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.920
<v Speaker 3>people over think those records and they like I need

0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:35.639
<v Speaker 3>a hit, I need to hit them, and me and

0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 3>G was just knocking them out the park.

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 4>Organically without even trying.

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 1>That's when you use to get your best work. You

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I want to do, g Before we continue

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>on with the album, I want to do a six

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to seven minute breakdown to just your history and music

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 1>from where you came from to where you are at

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 1>this moment, because I really feel like that this is

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of like your what's the word I'm looking for?

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 1>This is your shining moments, your grand moment right this

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 1>album right here, this is the culmination of y'all work

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and just me seeing y'all just do what y'all do

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.760
<v Speaker 1>over the past few years. Right, I don't think people realized.

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I want them to get an appreciation. Man, you came out, man,

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 1>you came out of games Camp and had one of

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the biggest buzzes on the West Coast that somebody had

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 1>in a long time, right Yeah, yeah, because I was

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:23.719
<v Speaker 1>listening to you and I was like, I remember my

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.800
<v Speaker 1>boy black toning up in the shop talking about you,

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and then you was up there. You know, one day

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you was playing your record that you had with battle Cat. Yeah,

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you was playing with your record that you had with

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 1>battle Cat Man. And you know, to go from there, man,

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.640
<v Speaker 1>to having this bidding war man that going to Sony Man,

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 1>do you ever feel like, man, that you've lived a

0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand lives in this industry?

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.600
<v Speaker 5>Shit, Before I got into the industry, just being in

0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 5>the streets, you know, you sell shrim and shit and

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 5>you gang bang man that you.

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.880
<v Speaker 4>Feel like you lived a thousand dollars there.

0:21:55.000 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 5>So coming into the industry, you know, I really didn't

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 5>know what to expect. Honestly, I really will. I really

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 5>had different.

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Plans for myself. I wanted to have more.

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 5>Like a death Row, like a street funded like like

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.200
<v Speaker 5>a dope boy funded street label, you know what I mean.

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:16.639
<v Speaker 5>They put out records under there, and you know, I

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 5>got through into the real major leagues, you know what

0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying, Like not like death Row. It was like, yo,

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 5>you gotta make records with Lil Wayne at this point,

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. So before I even got

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 5>to the industry, I felt like I lived a thousand lives.

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 5>Then in the industry, I've been through hell and back,

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean. Upside down it's nothing.

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:40.640
<v Speaker 1>So you can guys put another project like this right man,

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and you're going through what all you've been through. It's

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:46.680
<v Speaker 1>almost like you went to college. That's what it really

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:47.199
<v Speaker 1>feels like.

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 5>And it's a lot more like medical school than anything because.

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Actually, like you know, like you're actually in a graduate school,

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Like you just graduated graduate school with this right here.

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:00.840
<v Speaker 5>You know what's funny, Man, I put in probably roughly

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 5>purely three years on just records, just understanding what records were.

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Then I put in another two three years on understanding

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.040
<v Speaker 5>what hip hop was like being able to simplify it

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 5>into one, two, three, four five. It's why we always argue,

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.120
<v Speaker 5>Like I always, even people like you who grew up

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:22.400
<v Speaker 5>in the thick of everything, I'm like, nonfool.

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 4>You just was living it.

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:28.200
<v Speaker 5>There's a real consistency of exactly what it is over

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 5>and over again. And I feel that's why my opinion

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.920
<v Speaker 5>is so strong, because I gave blood up, you know

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 5>what I mean, the same something I was doing playing,

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean? I made it twenty four hours

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.440
<v Speaker 5>a day. And it's funny because marketing is a thing

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 5>I spent the least amount of time understanding. But I

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:48.200
<v Speaker 5>felt like I would say I have a doctorates in marketing,

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.280
<v Speaker 5>Like I have conversations with people with master's degree in marketing,

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.520
<v Speaker 5>and I'll be schooling them because they don't fucking know.

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 5>I put a lot of the ideas and their wheelhouse

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 5>that make it simple to term hip hop. I feel

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 5>like I got a master's, But records is always something.

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 4>I feel like, there's so much more to learn.

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh what's a forever evolving thing?

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:10.880
<v Speaker 5>Like like hip hop, I feel like I don't have

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 5>a ton much more to learn. It's more about feeling

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 5>in some dots of history here and there. Marketing is

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:20.400
<v Speaker 5>pretty much a philosophy that can be evolved into however,

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, whatever place it needs to live. But records, man,

0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 5>it's so many fucking records to learn. And that's why.

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 5>Like when I look at somebody like doctor Dre and

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 5>I think about, you know, two thousand and one, you

0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 5>know what I mean, Like.

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 4>He took a picture in front of.

0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:38.919
<v Speaker 5>Those vinyls, and I'm like, oh my god, I finally

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 5>understand what it means. Even like he as a as

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 5>a real professional player of music and a part of

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 5>a band and conductor of a band. It's like my

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 5>respect for him is different because you know, you go

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 5>back to guys like James Brown. Those guys have to

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 5>play music to eat dinnerible.

0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.399
<v Speaker 1>I just don't video shoot. Saturday brought. I said, man,

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 1>where was you? Where you're coming from? He said, man,

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I just had to play. I said, man, how awesome

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 1>is that that you get to go your job? Is

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you actually doing what you love and you just go

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to play some music.

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:12.360
<v Speaker 5>But think about it, like when you when people look

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.359
<v Speaker 5>at artists like James Brown and they wonder why it

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:18.840
<v Speaker 5>worked them. Dudes was traveling around the South, you know,

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 5>for two years playing music to eat dinner. Like I

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 5>was telling Metro this shout out to my boy Metro

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:27.359
<v Speaker 5>with Thomas Music and his artists, and he was like,

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 5>his artists were struggling to kind of cross over into

0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:33.199
<v Speaker 5>the business. And I'm like, that's because they don't have

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:36.400
<v Speaker 5>to do this to eat dinner. Like even people ask

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 5>me how was I able to get a deal so fast,

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 5>you know, my situation with White Lightning to move so

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 5>many CDs. I'm like, because they got to the point

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 5>to where I was doing this to eat dinner, So

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 5>there was no room.

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 4>To be fucking.

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.640
<v Speaker 5>I had to understand and learn what was going on.

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 5>And so when I back to the records, when I

0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:57.360
<v Speaker 5>when I look at him, you know, somebody like EP

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 5>who plays he knows what everybody's this to. When he

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:02.480
<v Speaker 5>go plays at a party. He got to play the

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 5>songs people want to dance to or they want book

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 5>his ass again. And don't get me wrong, he might

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 5>got now you know, if he got some royalty money

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.880
<v Speaker 5>and some money from other little stuff, and but he

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 5>need that and you know, he need to play the

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:14.640
<v Speaker 5>music that they want to hear.

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, have it you?

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:18.679
<v Speaker 5>I mean, So it's nothing when he comes in there

0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 5>and he starts to play music to make an album,

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.439
<v Speaker 5>because he already playing what made people like you know,

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:25.399
<v Speaker 5>as we start working on the next project, which is

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 5>gonna come back, it's gonna come together a lot faster.

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 5>We just gonna keep focusing on what people want to

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:32.520
<v Speaker 5>hear to make them be on the dance floor and

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 5>and escape their real life for that four hours that

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 5>that him and the band is playing, and him and

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 5>with him and Furnished and the Furnace band.

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Is playing exactly man. You know one of the songs

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>on here, man's a testament to your marketing progress. Man,

0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it's Kanye should have never married that bitch.

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, shout out to the panic at the disco. It's

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 4>funny is me. EP talked about that for four days.

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 5>People think that was like some tongue in cheek shit

0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 5>where I was just like, oh, let me just talk

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 5>about Kanye, and it was like, no, we made the record.

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 5>The rerecord didn't even have that title. The record was

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 5>just the record byself and it was great. But it

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:09.159
<v Speaker 5>was like, yo, like why should people care what happened

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 5>to that bitch? Most of these people are not streaked,

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:15.640
<v Speaker 5>especially in today's time, so even the lingo, like when

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:18.640
<v Speaker 5>we say a bitch belongs to the street, they can't

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:22.600
<v Speaker 5>even recognize that lingo and slang itself is not as

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 5>phenomenal as it once was, you know, appealing to mainstream.

0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:29.119
<v Speaker 5>And I remember calling EP telling them like, yeah, we

0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 5>need to figure out we need to put this in

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 5>the mainstream publics, right in their perspective so they can

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 5>be like, oh, that type of girl.

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:39.120
<v Speaker 4>And so we start.

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 5>Talking about it, and you know, I remember this nigga

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 5>worked with Kanye three four five albums. I'm like, shit,

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 5>I was like, this motherfucker got the perfect motherfucker. He's like, well,

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 5>you know what, gee, niggo, He'll.

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 4>Be all right, it's cool. This is what we're doing.

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.880
<v Speaker 5>And I remember just reading so many old titles, them

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:56.200
<v Speaker 5>long titles.

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 4>Panic at the Disco.

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 5>I was in high school when that shit came out,

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.840
<v Speaker 5>and I remember just these as titles, and I was thinking,

0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 5>like you only have when you look on a playlist

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 5>on Spotify, though you don't even get to see the picture.

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 4>The picture is tiny, the artist name is tiny.

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 5>The only thing you can see is the title of

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:16.200
<v Speaker 5>the song, like, Yo, we need something long as fuck.

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 4>So when people read it, they like, what the fuck

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:22.800
<v Speaker 4>kind of you know what I mean? And yeah, but

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:26.359
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't like some people like to call a term.

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:28.200
<v Speaker 5>I think I used to hear all the time it's clickbait,

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:29.639
<v Speaker 5>and it's like, that's not clickbait.

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 4>That bitch really belongs to the street.

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, actually what you did, man, is you discovered seo

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:40.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. That's a long tail keyword that you created.

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, kind should have never made.

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 4>It's a conversation piece, but.

0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Piece, you created a long tail keyword, man, And I

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>won't you know, get in that. That's a whole nother science, right,

0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 1>But I noticed, I said, Man, the titles that you

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 1>come up with, you don't waste, You don't waste space. Yeah,

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you take everything serious. Now, I know a lot of

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>people when I've talked to a lot of the other homies,

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the you know, other rappers in La Man,

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 1>she is dope. He just overthink stuff. I say, no,

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 1>he's not really overthinking, and he's just doing it right.

0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:13.040
<v Speaker 1>He's striving for perfection or really just trying to reach

0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>their violent records.

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 5>And because everybody else feel like if they put out

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:21.160
<v Speaker 5>a thousand records, they'll get there. That's the point where

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 5>records it really take one, you know what I mean.

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 5>Nobody got there with a thousand records. It still only

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 5>took one. We can talk about a thousand records, it

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 5>took one. You feel me Like Michael Jackson is still thriller.

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 5>It take one, you know what I'm saying. So everyone

0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 5>deserves Dre says something that's really dope. Everything's important. I

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 5>spell them with two e's everything's important. With the E

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 5>it's E square everything's important. So if I can't take

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 5>a little extra time to figure out the title, you

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 5>know what I mean.

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 4>It's one song.

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 5>Something like we're doing all this content for people to

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:01.640
<v Speaker 5>discover this dope ass music. It's gonna take one song

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 5>at one time, and when that one time happened, that song.

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 4>Need to have layers.

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Exactly believe that. I believe that because that one song

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:14.640
<v Speaker 1>is going to bring everybody back to your previous releases

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and go have them anticipate in everything that you put

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>out in the future. So it's definitely a very important thing. Man.

0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I think people underestimate.

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Man, the motherfucker live right now to that.

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was this live right now.

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna go ahead and get this out there

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 1>to the people. Man, I want each one of y'all

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:35.959
<v Speaker 1>tell these people why they need to go out there

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and stream this motherfucker. We mean, you both talked about

0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the importance and shit and making it matter, Like why

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 1>why should people go stream this album? Right now?

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 5>My mind, man, it's the voice of the barbershop. Don't

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 5>be scared. It's the same thing we're saying the barbershop.

0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm just telling the rest of these I'm just telling

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 5>the white people, man, they just didn't know. I'm making

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 5>sure they know, so you ain't gotta deal with the

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 5>embarrassment of saying the same thing we're saying the barbershop

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 5>to the white people. So I'm representing you. Just let me,

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, go listen to it and be like, yeah,

0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 5>he represented. You ain't gotta even tell nobody else, just

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, it's.

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 4>True, and it's conversation.

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 3>It's conversation over quality music too, and we ain't trying

0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 3>to sound like nobody else.

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 4>We cultivating our own sound.

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 3>We got the drums up today, wrapped in music and melody,

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 3>and you can there's no way you can beat.

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 1>That, No way at all. Man. You know I was

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 1>talked about those physical copies. Early physical copies are available

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:33.400

<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I never get to enjoy just the

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>floor for them because I always hear the pieces. I

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:13.440
<v Speaker 1>hear five or six different versions of songs and sometimes

0:33:13.440 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what's verses you put out to

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 1>last hear that's what.

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 5>You do to this what you do to a different

0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:20.840

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:23.120

<v Speaker 5>really good at records of hip hop and marketing, you

0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:29.200
<v Speaker 5>know what I mean. But some of the best part

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 5>is when I get you you what.

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 4>The fuck is that?

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I know what that is?

0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, hear stuff that y'all do, and I like,

0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:37.480

<v Speaker 1>We double back, sure, and I'm gonna tell y'all like

0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 1>this this is big steal breakdown on the record. Man.

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:02.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a sham and ass record.

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:05.760
<v Speaker 4>That's what I promise you that it is.

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 5>It is a really Killer Mike said he got the

0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 5>album of the year. I think my album on Killing

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 5>Mike album right now, Yeah, I gotta kind of slam

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 5>back to back and compare him. I might do that

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:19.040
<v Speaker 5>a live, but like what Kill Mike? What Killer Mike

0:34:19.120 --> 0:34:22.799
<v Speaker 5>has a substance my album? You know, my album makes

0:34:22.880 --> 0:34:23.799
<v Speaker 5>up with attitude?

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Man. I told eight and Soaring Baker's were doing the

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.680
<v Speaker 1>top fifty gangster rap albums of all time, and it's

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:31.880
<v Speaker 1>getting kind of heated as we come towards you know,

0:34:31.960 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 1>those like Final twenty, those Top twenty, because there have

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 1>been so many just classic albums, and really, man, hearing

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:41.520
<v Speaker 1>this album, I really believe man, that this album when

0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:43.479
<v Speaker 1>it came out fighting a month ago, we'd be having

0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 1>a whole different conversation. I'm even thinking about throwing it

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 1>in there. That's why I want to listen to it

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to night in this entirety, and I want to you know,

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to seem biased, because see when I

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about you were eight, I don't want nobody thinking

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 1>of he's just saying that because he got this. No,

0:34:57.000 --> 0:34:58.280
<v Speaker 1>it ain't like that. I'm very honest.

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.720
<v Speaker 4>It might be, Yeah, I don't know. That's that's I don't.

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Know if it's top twenty, bro, but it's for sure.

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if I was banging more than the

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:08.480
<v Speaker 5>shadiest one, but I'm sure y'all don't have the shadiest

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 5>one in this proper position.

0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:11.880
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know the shadiest one is actually one

0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of our records in that though. Man, that's for the

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to wait and find out, like everybody.

0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:21.520
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So it's somewhere in the top twenty five. Yeah, somewhere, okay,

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 5>long because if it wasn't in the top twenty five,

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't gonna I was gonna disregard y'all opinion completely.

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 1>You know it is, man Dub put his foot in this,

0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:33.560
<v Speaker 1>But I would say, man, that cancel these nuts. Man,

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you know it's hard to defind it. See,

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:39.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe in calling the record the classic. Man,

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 1>until it's been out, you don't know if it's in

0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the classic to five ten years down the line.

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:45.399
<v Speaker 5>Well, to me, it ain't even I don't even use

0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:47.160
<v Speaker 5>that term no more because I don't know if we

0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 5>have the time for it.

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:49.800
<v Speaker 4>But what I definitely want to do is make.

0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:52.399
<v Speaker 5>It a timestamp of twenty twenty three and twenty four.

0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:56.479
<v Speaker 5>I want you to feel like, eventually, somewhere along the line,

0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 5>this album had to mean something to you or represented something,

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:02.399
<v Speaker 5>or you didn't like something about it during that time.

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:04.880
<v Speaker 5>And I think that that becomes the goal now that

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 5>we got it out, because we didn't do a ton

0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:08.080
<v Speaker 5>of marketing up front.

0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 4>What's funny is we just start marketing and idea this.

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 5>Week and people starting to see the ideas and like,

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 5>it's crazy to watch them come to life and people

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 5>just be enamored, like wow, you know what I.

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Mean, and we just I can say one thing is

0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:24.480
<v Speaker 3>doing is bringing back the feeling of man, uh, I'm

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 3>glad you saying it.

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 4>Somebody needs to say.

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 3>It's hands down is getting that reaction so I can.

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:35.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's definitely a recovery mission. It's not a discovery

0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:37.759
<v Speaker 5>mission like hip hop used to be. It's more of

0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:40.480
<v Speaker 5>a like recovering the thing that the West Coast represented.

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:43.359
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, for sure, we got I know, we got

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:45.279
