He came out and said that 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.280 the record was corny. And for the record, everybody is 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.159 entitled to have their own opinion. That man is entitled 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.559 to have his opinion. But if I had a record 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.560 called the Chicken Man, I wouldn't have shit to say. 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.600 If I had a record in my if I had 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.280 a record in my vault called the Chicken Man, I 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.120 would just stay neutral. Dog who has a record called 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.600 the Chicken Man. Gilly got a record called Chicken Man. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.360 So you want to poke at you want to poke 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.240 on Gilly right now, that's what you want. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.880 I'm not doing that, actually, Gilly, you know I like 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.560 what they're doing. We ain't got no podcast beef. He 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.120 got a right to have his opinion. But I'm just saying, though, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.080 if I had a record called I don't know how 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.840 much corny corny you can get.

Mac Tin 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.159 called himself the Chicken Hawk. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.320 But mac Tin will running around no videos with no 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.920 chicken wings in his pocket, and shit, why are you 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:16.920 poking that gift? While you know he got a right 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:17.799 to have his opinion. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.680 I mean, I haven't listened to the song. It's dope uh, 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:29.520 dope in in in the opinions of hudo because some 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:34.919 dudes who are hip hop, they're gonna feel like you know, 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.919 Kendrick's one of those those rappers who's not the average rapper. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.000 A lot of dudes are looking for a hip hop song. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.680 Like I said, sometimes when when when you're getting outside 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:55.239 of the realm of music and you want to become 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:56.080 I mean. 0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:01.920 Shit, it's a lot to process. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.159 It's yeah, like I don't know, I may be listening 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:10.400 to maybe thirty seconds of it. Like I said, Kendrick 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:15.280 is one of those dudes. You feel me hear what 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:18.240 as you have said? 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.080 Listen because he'll say some stuff like the line he 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.800 said about Jay Prince and them when we said our park, 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.880 his son said, the mixture running the family with our park. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.560 His son. I was just like, man, this dude is 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.480 a rapping motherfucker, And I think, quick, you know, you're 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.400 one of those guys man that really paying a lot 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.279 of attention to your lyrical detail, right right. Do you 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.000 think that's being lost on the cult or somewhere people 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.359 actually going back and listening to stuff before they pass 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:46.200 judgment on it. 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.279 Yeah, And everybody want to jump in on an algorithm. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.400 You know, it's the conversation, it's hot, it's the topic 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.760 of the day, So they listen to it real quick, 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.000 and then they turn the camera on, you feel me. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.120 They don't really sit with the record. 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.640 They don't really dissect what he's talking about, you know 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.480 what I mean. They just they just listen and then boom, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.039 turn the camera on to start talking. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.480 So they can try. 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.960 To capitalize off of the algorithm and what everybody talking 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.960 about be one of the first ones with some you 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.480 know content out there, you feel me. So, yeah, that's 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.400 from from the listener's perspective, Yeah, and then from the artists. 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.680 You know, Kendrick is one of them dudes who's still 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:33.440 being rewarded for having a sharp pin. You feel me 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.760 like it's a lot of artists who feel like they 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.440 wasting their time trying to improve their craft because they 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.360 see a lot of whack. Kendrick is one of them 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.280 dudes who's still being rewarded on a high level for 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.520 having creativity, for caring about his skill set. You know 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.880 what I'm saying. He's still getting those accolades, you know 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.880 what I mean. So I think we need his presence, 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.760 you know, and Cam's other people on this level, you know, 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.480 doing that too, But we need Kendrick, you know what 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:14.480 I mean, because the next generation is watching just like 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.080 I was watching. I was watching Everybody. I was watching 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.520 Big Daddy Kane. I was watching Rock Cam. I was 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.680 watching Coolgi Rap, I was watching Ice T the DC. 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.360 I was watching Public Enemy, nwa Q, Scarface. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.800 You watching. When you're young and you start. 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.600 To open that, you crack open that motherfucking notebook and 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.800 you pick up that pen, and you've been influenced by 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.720 everything you've been hearing. So the next generation, if everything 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.360 they're hearing is weak and it's whack, then they gonna 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:44.360 think that's the thing to do. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:50.520 Yeah, Because I really try not that man. Hip hop 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.240 is such an opinion based sport, right, so I'm careful nothing. 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.520 You know, I'm always cautious in disregard to somebody else's 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.680 opinion because at the end of the day, that's all. 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.120 It was somebody's opinion. Man. But dope, it's dope, and 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.120 whack has always been whack. And I do think that 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.600 people are not really sitting back and listening to stuff, 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.160 and no more I think they listening to the first 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.160 off is the beat jamming is the hook ketschi and 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.240 they don't care what somebody saying on the record. It 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.840 seemed like you could be on there going google guy, guy. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.800 But if the beat is jamming, it's almost like it's 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.480 gone because for a minute, you know, when you it 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.040 was getting so auto tuned heavy for a minute to 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.079 where it was like, man, if you throw the auto 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.880 tune on there and just going there hummer melody and 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.480 got a cracking beak, you can mess around. Have a 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:32.240 platinum record. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:34.320 Absolutely. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:39.240 And it's a young kid named Denzel, Denzel Curry, you 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.240 know what I'm saying, who's making great music for his generation. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.200 And he tweeted something he said it took two of 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.640 the biggest artists in the world to beef for the 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:56.719 people to care about lyricism again. So you're right, everybody 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.160 listening just to the beach, the hooks, whatever they could 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.880 turn up to. You know, they they looking for a 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.640 vibe instead of you know, any kind of information or 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.400 any kind of you know, stories or whatever. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.679 They're looking for a vibe. But this right here, these 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.800 two heavyweights going at it. 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.280 Is making them listen to what people are what them 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.559 two artists are saying now, they listening to the lyrics 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.520 right now, you know what I'm saying.

The swag rapping wasn't quite out 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:14.800 check you know the word ket can just get off 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.959 with a swagger and just get that off and become 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.080 a full complete artist. You actually had to be able 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.840 to rap.

A lot of shit, to me, 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:50.240 rap started falling off when companies started getting scared of 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:51.720 the truth. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:52.480 In our music. 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.760 You know, because we would tell our truths about you know, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:03.640 situations where we're in and thus, you know, violence portrayed 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.680 in our music. A lot of people start wanting to 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.200 stray away from our music. Thus you had a lot 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:17.640 of you know, let's glamorize you know, money and and fame, 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:22.680 and let's glamorize who got the biggest chains. And you 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:27.600 know that's when to me, when raps started not caring 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:33.640 about lyricism, and let's just face it, some of some 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.400 of that just flies over motherfucker's head. You know a 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.319 lot of people want to hear one two three ABC 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.880 when you pride yourself in lyrics and try to come 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:52.160 up with something that's unfadable. A lot of people tend 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.959 to want to call that, you know, whack or or 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.000 because they don't understand. We've had a lot of gifted lyricism, 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.640 you know, come from times where people just didn't understand 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:08.959 the music. You get me, motherfucker, rather hear an ice 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.280 cube than a black thought from the roots, you get me. 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:19.000 And not that cube was any better or whatever. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:19.800 It's just that. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:27.240 Being having real pride in your lyrics, you know, didn't 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.000 fathom everybody. A lot of niggas just wanted to hear 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.640 a simple beating, a simple ABC you feel me. So 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:38.520 to me, that's when music started turning. When motherfuckers didn't 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:43.040 give a damn about what we were rapping about or 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:47.000 the truthness in our or music.

So I'm very open. But 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.199 a lot of people in my age group they not 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.080 I see. They want Drake to make a Nas type 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.119 Eat the record, and they want Kendrick to make a 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.919 hit Him Up Tupac record, But that's not them, you 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.959 feel me. Drake is making a record that fits his brand, 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.240 and Kendrick is making the same kind of record that he. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.840 Always made with his artistry. You know what I'm saying. 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.359 And I feel like we gotta stop wanting all these 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:03.480 younger generation cats to be somebody from the past that 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.520 they not, you feel me, because that ain't giving them 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.480 a chance to express theirself how they want to express theirself. 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.960 Do so, I just I just listen with a. 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.760 Open with an open mind, man, And and you know, 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.480 and I understand that things change. 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.520 You feel me from the from the clothes. 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.880 To everything, dad, because Nigga, I don't wear the same 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:24.320 shit I was when I was twenty. 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.879 You feel me, Yeah, I don't wear the stuff. And 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.919 when I do try to step out eighty ten, my 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:31.560 ass up so bad. I don't even want to wear 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.360 nothing new. I'm just stick to certain jeans and shit. 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:41.360 I mean, it's it's nothing about advancing I guess it's 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:48.240 nothing about advancing your broadening your horizons. I just feel 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:56.040 like in certain situations, you know, trying to keep some 0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:02.240 authenticity is in favor of depending on the era you 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.080 came from. You know, my fans ain't gonna want to 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.000 see me in leather pants. And the polka dot shirt 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.160 and shit like that, because I'm gonna lose more fans 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.680 than I gain. In fact, it's it's just like you said, 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.800 it's it's different eras. And even though Kendrick is you know, 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.919 he's from Compton and he grew up around gang bangers 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:30.200 and the element and the situations, you know, like you said, 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:35.159 his his artistic is expression is is wearing you know, 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:40.680 platinum crowns on his head, you know, thorn crowns, and 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.280 and you know, being in fashion shows. And you know 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.600 that's just where some that's just where the element of 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.040 what of what you. 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:54.040 Choose to be called as an artist. 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:54.680 You get me. 0:20:55.960 --> 0:21:02.440 Artistry is all kind of expressions, and he's always been 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:08.720 the type who wanted to express outside of being that 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.080 element you give me. Yeah, I saw niggas gang banging 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:15.159 when I grew up around gang bangers. I saw the 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.719 dry buys and the niggas claiming hoods and all of that. 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:26.320 But I dare to be different, you get me. So, yeah, 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.239 I don't think anything is wrong with that. And just 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:37.560 like you said, some people, some people fall victim to 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:42.359 the fact of but he's from Compton, you get me. 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:49.119 And on a worldwide scale. When you mentioned Compton, you 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:55.359 think of the MC eights, the Easies, the dre's the 0:21:55.520 --> 0:22:03.439 element of what Compton is, you know, So some people 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.600 tend to uh get stuck on that. You get me 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:16.959 because me as a fan from overseas somewhere, when I 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:21.800 hear Compton, I'm thinking of, oh, you know what I'm saying, Compton, 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.960 that's the land of the killers in n w A. 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:32.560 And Compton's most warning. So you you have the mindset, 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:35.879 the mind state at a particular set, you know what 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:39.040 I'm saying, Like when I hear Compton, I'm supposed to 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.480 see this. So just like you said, you see a 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:47.480 lot of people, they're they're split as far as the 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:53.440 records are concerned, you know, because like you said, they 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:57.000 want to hear some I want to hear motherfucking h 0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.159 m c A and DJ Quick type of shit. I 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:02.800
