It 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.919 was like it was like, you know, I had a 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.519 lot of people around me who care about me and 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.680 I was good, Arte, no, no, I ain't gonna rehab. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.480 Charlotte made texting me, you know a lot, and he 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.200 was like, yo, how are you doing? And I was 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.520 like I'm good. And we would talk a lot, just 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.040 like on some French and then he started getting romantic 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.600 with I was like, you need to chill, you know, 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.720 just like just like hey babe, um bad. I'm like yo. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:44.840 And what I said was I was like, wrong number 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:49.519 and he's like, no, it's not right, is it still? Mac? 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.120 I'm not gonna lie. He did tell me that you 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:55.840 did that once and he asked me what was out 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.520 with you? He did, I must have been drunk and 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:07.040 it must that didn't have nothing. But but I had to, uh, 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:09.560 you know, I had to just get my together and 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.560 go back to work. You know, I just was, I 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.000 just you know, I was. I was being dumb and 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.000 you were pretty young and you had a great wild 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.400 time your friends around you and everything. Sometimes you got 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.520 to refocus, exactly, And I think I think for me 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.600 it was a thing where like I just didn't feel 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.480 like I thought it was my right, which it is, 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.080 but I thought it was like my right as a 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.000 human to say I didn't want to do anything. So 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:33.720 like I was like, I don't feel like toyn I 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.160 don't feel like an album out. Was it that later? 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.520 Was it? Was it the la life? Well, there's a 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.520 lot of space out there, so you know, I could 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.120 I had, I could disappear, and I was just kind 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.040 of just making a lot of music and I just 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.560 kind of got comfortable in this zone of like, I'm 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.320 not gonna like, I don't need to bring any money in. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.640 I got money, You had money, so you just wanted 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.120 to record, right, just record and just have fun with it. 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.840 And then I realized that that I didn't put anything out, 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.040 and like and then I ran out of money, you 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.280 know what I mean, Scott storched myself and then, uh, hell, 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.480 how to go bro? I'm Jewish? Come on, you know 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.000 I got my money talks, I'm good, I got investments. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.120 Um no. But so I just decided it was time 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.880 to come back. Did anything inspire you? Was it like 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.080 a day that you were listening to something and you 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.720 were like, you know what, I gotta get back in there. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.120 I mean, like, you know, I think, uh. At first, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:32.640 when I signed to a major, it was a little 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.240 scary for me because I was like, oh, you know, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.240 like what if all my freedom's gone? Because he were 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.320 kind of against that world? Would you do that? I mistake? 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.400 You said, like you that's what you're kind of claim 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.400 to fame. But that independent audi and see that I 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.200 was one of this, you know, because it was it's 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.760 it's it's that time and and just like I can 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.800 do more from this position, not just for me, but 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.560 for those around me, and I can create, um, like 0:04:54.600 --> 0:05:00.200 a real franchise and uh um yeah I'm me. I 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.479 was like, you know, it was a little scary. You 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.560 see that that contract is so thick, bro, but I'm 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.359 sure it with ten million reasons why. But you know, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.960 I don't do it for the money. I do it 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:15.159 for the art. How much did Rostrom get? Did you 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.560 have to give them anything? No, it wasn't like that. No, 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.320 they've got a lot of money from the work we 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.560 did together. And then you've announced that you're going on 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.440 tour and you're doing smaller and more intimate venues. Yeah 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.920 before so there's like a album release, um shows um, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.400 and then the real tour gets announced the day before 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.640 the album comes out. But um, yeah, which I love 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.200 Like that was the other thing is I like hadn't 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.000 done shows. I got back to doing shows. I was like, 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:46.760 oh wow, like I'm still selling our venues. Yeah, and 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.440 you look terrible that now that was I was horrible. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.280 What was you do? You know what's so bad about that? 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.960 I'm the guy that'd be like, no Mac Milliken rap, right, 0:05:55.160 --> 0:06:01.000 I know? And I I mean jail with jay Z's 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.920 there too. Oh bro, you know dog? I was so 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:09.280 hot because well, this thing is like, you know, you 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.160 you don't uh that song. It's not like that's a 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.560 one that I always perform, you know what I mean. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.640 So I was going over my verse, like I gotta 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.200 remember verse because I've had an issue with that in 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.279 the past, and especially when you're on a lot of drugs, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.720 you always forget stuff. So like, you know, you're you know, 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.000 I was kind of a mess. Um. So I get 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.080 there and you know, I'm like, okay, I think I'm ready, 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.560 and uh, I'm super geeks. Everyone's being super cool. Um, 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.000 and I come out on stage and I just completely 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.359 blow it. I got four bars out and for the 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.160 first four bars I thought I was killing. I was like, 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.400 I was like whoa. And then also I was like 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.880 and so me and him started freestyling and then I 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.680 just kind of messed up dipped and like I do 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.720 this thing when I mess up my lyrics, I kind 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.039 of like just run away like a little kid.

You 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.800 just stood on the stage and turned up with people, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.960 where like most people would have just walked off the stage. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:24.720 I just kicked it. Yeah, but like, but that's Jay 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.480 Electronic and said that on the stage. He was like, 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.240 you know, he smoked a lot. I was like, yeah, 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:30.880 people hitting my phone like this the dude you'd be 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.040 talking about can wrap you. And then after him after 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.480 he goes So was that bad? Yeah, it was bad. 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.000 It was super bad. I was like, um, but I 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:41.920 remember I talked to I remember, like I was going 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.040 off stage and I Uh Electronic and I was like, yo, 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.120 it's like because I take this shit really serious. Like 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.800 I don't like to cup. It's not like I've just 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:56.160 been joking around. But I was like, Yo, I blew it. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.920 I messed up man. He said yes, he said no, no, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.040 he said he said there's no ups in hip hop. Bro. 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.560 I was like, yeah, he no, hard, but not for 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.360 you know what I'm saying. So it was cool, but 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.560 I definitely blew a dope opportunity. Jay was definitely backstage. Definitely. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.840 Jay was definitely like, he didn't invite you to the 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:21.920 title meeting after that. Nah. Nah, I've I've I've never 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.960 spoken to him. I've I've known. I know that he's 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.320 heard some stuff and liked it. I've known that. Uh, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.280 I'm gonna just start making you know what I'm saying. 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.040 I know he bumpd my album on the regular. Nah, 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.360 but uh no, I never I never got dropped up 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.120 with him. It's kind of good you felt back the 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.720 last couple of years because it was kind of hard 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.600 on white rappers in hip hop. Dude, that was it 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.880 was not it was not not type for white nig 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.120 got it bad. Yeah, I mean it's you know, it's 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.719 a it's a touchy subject, especially with everything else going 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.679 on in the world. I mean, it's like, who looks 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.560 like white rappers don't look like the tightest people when 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.480 there's all these horrible things going on the world. You 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.840 know what I'm saying, it doesn't look tight. Um, And 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.960 I wasn't like a planned thing. It definitely wasn't like 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.040 a like I need to get back man, like that 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.800 definitely wasn't you know. That was like, do you ever 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.760 feel the need to speak out on social issues because 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.760 you are part of hip hop? Right, and people feel like, oh, 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:15.960 if you know you're part of hip hoop, you should 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.920 speak out on what's going on with black people. Um oh, 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.280 I mean definitely with certain things. I mean, I think 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.320 there's a time when I'm when I'm younger nineteen eighteen, 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.280 nineteen twenty twenty one, right, But I'm saying this is like, 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.520 up until now, I didn't really speak on race. I 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.840 didn't really speak on these issues just because my whole 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.480 idea was like, uh, I'm probably just scared of it, really, 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.520 but my whole idea was like, you know, I just 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.120 want to make music. I just want to make music. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.280 And now I kind of like, like it did like 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.280 a bunch of interviews on like white rappers and hip 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.559 hop and stuff like that. It's like you can't be 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.880 uncomfortable to talk about it. You can't be uncomfortable with 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:56.320 you white exactly exactly your experience in every interview. Yeah, 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.520 but I mean, yeah, you know, I'll be annoying DC. Oh, 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.520 you're my favorite white guy. But I mean I think, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.720 you know, but that's fine, and I think I think 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.160 my favorite black guy. I don't know, you're definitely not 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.880 definitely not you, like my third favorite light skame b 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.720 and as the longest light skinned people I know, so 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.360 that you but no, it's like uh um yeah. I 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.880 think at the time, as as someone in the in 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.480 the public and being young and like being a white 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.080 rapper is uh, that always comes with it. You're like, 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.400 I just want to be a rapper man, but like 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:34.120 in reality, it's like whatever, I don't want to just 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.800 be considered a female rapper, right. Is that one of 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:38.520 the reasons you signed to a major because it was 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.880 kind of like, you know, Mcamore, NIGGI blew up with 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.080 radio records and I remember talking to you once and 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.679 you was like you wanted to get radio records now, 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.920 and I was like why, Yeah, I know, I mean 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.120 that wasn't uh, that didn't happen. I mean, that wasn't 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.080 like a reason for I think I just wanted to see, 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.520 like I never had a real budget to do anything, 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.840 you know, like I've never you were investing yourself basically 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.640 right now. I mean like like you know, like Rosham 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.800 definitely had put money down and and you used to 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.400 be the thing where if like if Rosham didn't want 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:08.480 to pay for it, I paid for it, like I 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:13.600 didn't care and like, um, but like just really because 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.320 they're an independent company, so I didn't really have a 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.680 big budget to work with sopendent. Yeah, but I mean, 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.240 you know, hey, you're just not as I'm not, you know, 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.679 and you know what I'm saying. There's there's no there's 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.120 tears of rappers, and it's like Maclamore Macmiller. Everyone knows it. 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.079 I'm trash. He's nice, like you know what I mean, 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.560 Like I don't know how to me know me, you know, 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.440 it's for real, I don't know how to I don't 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.520 have the metaphors that he has. Everyone knows true. You know, 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.960 his name was supposed to be Macalmiller. Yeah, like you 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.600 know what, No, I didn't hear that. Yeah, he actually 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.160 and and and I told I told him, I was like, yo, bro, 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.400 like you got my name and he just slapped it 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:53.679 out of me. And I was like, my father, bro, 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.760 and I said, you know, I like you know, so 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.440 I don't really be saying anything bad about him. Sorry, bro. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.520 So he was going to expose you too. He was like, Yo, 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.920 he got this ghost riding and Quentnin Miller do that. No, No, Miller. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.280 I know Charlotte Maine be writing most of my hooks. 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.640 And then Angela really be writing the bark. I knew it, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.320 and you knew it. I knew it. I knew That's 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.600 that's why I like sometimes people like that sounds kind 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.360 of like kind of like he likes dude, Well, I 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.280 actually wrote one hundred grandkids, right, you wrote that it's 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.719 time for mcmullletta settled down and have some kids.

It's just kind of 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.679 a little like stupid double on terms or where the 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.520 first half is about grandchildren and then the second half 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.720 is about first time I got one hundred grand It's 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.319 like not that tight. I mean I think that crazy 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.280 of like whoa, but like it's just my main thing 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.000 is I just wanted to come back with something that 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.560 was like confident and and like some fun. There's nothing 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.640 wrong being fun. There's nothing wrong with feeling yourself. And 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.080 that's the headspace I wanted to get into before I 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.880 came back. I didn't want to come back depressed. Did 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.959 Donald Trump ever sue you? No, he never did. I 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.560 don't think he really had a case, but he's been 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.160 sued for everything. But that's what I'm saying. That's like, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.360 I gotta be careful because I got like, you know, 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.199 I can't do I gets suped for everything. Yeah, that 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.440 has to be discouraging. It feels like you, in particular 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:44.840 a mixtape unde hundred thousand dollars for for what a 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.440 free mixtape song because it was a sample, Yeah, which 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.000 is crazy because everybody does that. So yeah, to get 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.360 somebody a hunt, you have to give a law of 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.400 professor a hundrand. Right. No, look, I can't disclose any 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.200 information about amounts of money that you can hear it 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.360 on a hundred grandly got but I definitely got sued. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:02.760 But I mean, look, you feel like he was he 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.280 was picked on because of that, because everybody does that. Man, 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.880 jay Z do it. I hadn't heard the Great Dre, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.840 I didn't heard Kendrick. I didn't heard everybody do it.

I mean, like 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.680 that really set it off. But like, uh, you know, 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.360 it is what it is. You know, It's like I'm 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.840 not I'm not sitting here like man, I don't know, man, 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.440 why is everyone was suing me? They must not like me?

You 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.400 just put it out, excited, excited over mcmill until I 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.040 see what its heat is at. Right, You know, but 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.680 doesn't it look like a positive more positive place. Yes, 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.120 but I just want to make sure you good because 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.360 you know, you'll come out a video. Didn't go back 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.840 to drugs. No, No, that's true. I mean it's been 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.600 a positive It's true though, But like, but that was 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.440 the thing is that was the other thing though, is 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.880 that is I started to see that that was like 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.280 that was my thing, you know, like like that's what 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.960 I was being what people were knowing me for. It 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.320 was like, oh, Mac Miller smacked white boy, like the 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.280 dude that's always on drugs, and I was like, that's 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.840 not tight, you know what I mean? Like, especially like 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.040 I got a young fans like I'm not I don't 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.680 want to I don't want to act like that. That's 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.520 it's cool. And then it's just a pointing to your 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.360 fans when you go away for such a long period 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.320 of time and they're like, dude, what is it? Yeah, 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:39.800 and it's like we love you. What are you? You 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.360 know what I'm saying while you are And like like uh, 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:48.880 I was gonna say, I gonna say why are you hiding? Hiding? 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:54.880 But I stopped but uh but no, but um but 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.720 like you know, like a lot of a lot of 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.600 a lot of my friends that that make music and 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.760 also did a lot of drugs. If you know, quit 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.120 doing drugs, you know. I mean I think I think 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.440 you just get to a point where you're just like, okay, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.640 this is just this is I'm doing too much to 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.200 write music though, was you Was that part of your 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.160 writing process back then? No? No, yeah, I used drugs 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.480 to do everything. Brush my teeth you know, still sound 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.680 the same, It still sound good. Because some people need 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.800 that for their lyrics. No, I mean I think I 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:27.800 think uh no, I mean I don't think I need it. 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.400 I think it's more about what headspace you're in. But 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.280 like I said, it was a like I have a 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.480 lot of people around me to care about me. What 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.640 did your mom say to you? Yeah, I mean she didn't. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.040 I mean she didn't know. And then I hit her 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:42.600 one time and I was like, just told her the 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.760 truth because I'm crying. No, probably maybe a little cry 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.400 of the type call not like the ones we have. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:55.360 It was different. No, it was like no, I mean 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.520 I think I just kind of broke it down for everyone. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.760 And then after I broke it down for everyone, like 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.560 it made it like it makes it that much more 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.680 difficult to come back because everyone's like, you're all right, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.119 and then I'm like, yeah, man, I'm fine. That's you know, 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.840 like that for a while though, Yeah, but I'm not. 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.240 But this thing like I'm not like I'm not out here, 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:21.320 like like fucking never was that? You mean, like like 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.680 like I'll do it, like I'll raise somebody for crack, 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:29.600 but like I'm not gonna goodness um nah, but uh 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.320 but um nah, I'm what are gonna say? I'm not. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.280 I'm not out here like completely like on some born 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.320 again Christian I don't touch a drink. I don't right now, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.440 right exactly. Like I'm still having a good time with 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:45.000 my work progress, but I'm saying this is this is 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.919 this is progress. This is progress. But I'm just what 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.960 about your MTV show? Did you lose that? I didn't 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.320 lose it. I quit it because because it was time 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:59.159 to make room for Tiger. Everyone knows that they was 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:00.920 trying to get him to get White Rabb. I'm like, no, 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.640 you can't go get mackelmore. No, no riff Raff, give 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.080 it to Tiger. But no, like is having all this 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.160 controversy with people thinking that he sleeps with transgenders. Why 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.320 I opened up, back up, I gotta ask you, have 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:17.679 you ever been about the show show? Okay, well no, 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.879 I never, I've never. I've never been fooled by a 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.760 transgender not even almost, not even almost. O I know, 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.800 I know. So MTV two show No. Because I wanted 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.159 I didn't lose it. Um. I wanted to not go 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.920 down as a reality TV star. And I think that 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:40.040 it was like, that's such a big platform that like 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.040 that moves, it's at a rapid pace and it's on 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.960 repeat all the time, that people are always seeing you there. 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.200 That like I wanted to like step back and be like, 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.720 let me make sure the music stands front. And also 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.600 it was like my schedule was ridiculous. I would be 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.000 on tour, come back, have two days off, and I'd 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:00.920 be shooting both those days and I was like, this 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:02.679 is this is too much. That's supposed to be your 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.120 day off and right, and it was doing great too. 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.000 It was one of your own big one. You don't 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:08.760 help your people though, because I'm sure your people will. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.680 They were they were halfway stars on this. Oh yeah, 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:14.119 they probably got more of a giant and because of it, right, 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.080 they do Okay, Actually, that night when you are hung out. 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:18.880 I was like, this has to be annoying because Mac 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.639 Miller when we had those drinks that night with you 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.840 and your friends. Yeah, they would not leave him alone 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.040 everywhere he went. Every it was very man. It's and 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.840 and you know, it's just and he didn't have security 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.119 that day, so that was really bad. Angelo. Yeah, I 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.200 was there. No, I have security, I have I have 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:38.879 I have I have security at certain things, but that 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.440 day in particular. Yeah, sometimes I just roll out because 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.520 I like I like to do that, Like I like 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.280 to just walk around and people be like, yo, you 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.639 have no security. And it would be like like like 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.359 little bit like little like little white kids going like 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.080 you don't need security. I was like, why I need 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.240 security for me? Like what do you mean? Like, No, 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:57.480 I'm good with the crew at now.
