I 85 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: just want people to tell me exactly how I'm doing. 86 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: I just did a speech upstairs. I go to Kevin. 87 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: I said one to ten. He said four. I said, 88 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: I said, how do I get it to a ten 89 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: next time? Okay, that's it. He didn't. He didn't say, oh, 90 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: it's a nine point five five. And you know what 91 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying, because I just want to I want to improve. 92 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: So you know, when you're on stage or when you're 93 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: doing this, you want people around you that give you 94 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: constructive criticism. You you want to be the biggest, the 95 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: best podcast in the world. I'm sorry, um so anyhow, 96 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: that's basically the reason why I keep it so gully 97 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: is that that's how I want it done to me. 98 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: The reason why I never walked around with security guards 99 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: is real thorough people have planned B, C, D, and E. 100 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: You don't get in trouble with thorough people if you 101 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: allow them the ability to go to their plan B. 102 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: If you retard their ability to go to plan B, 103 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: that's when you get in trouble. That's when you have 104 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: to walk around with security guards. Okay, but you can't 105 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: be mad at me when I tell you your records 106 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: are stiff. It's over. No one cares or spinning it 107 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: because then they could go to Plan B. But when 108 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: you tell them a stiff record, oh it's working, I 109 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: need a few more weeks, and it just gets deeper 110 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: and deeper, and you get colder and colder. That's when 111 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: you get in trouble. So I've always kept it very, 112 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: very honest and direct because that's just how I wanted. 113 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: That's that's that's a beautiful thing now, Kevin allows keV, 114 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: I remember me being on the label and you did 115 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: something that was like so important.

I flipped through the pages. 171 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: I see friendly faces and moments in time that I 172 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: adore and love. But I'm about the present. So you 173 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: know that once was It was a beautiful memory. It's 174 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: nice that people recognize me and give me that for 175 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: my contribution. But I don't live. I don't you come 176 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: to my house. There's no f y I this is 177 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: who I once was.

And when I'm on the court and I 182 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: go for that read, You're gonna get topped by my elbows. Okay, 183 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: simple as that. You know. It was funny. It was funny, 184 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: you know, you know I came out, was from Baltimore, 185 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: so me me coming and as an intern, came meet 186 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: me coming up. We all started his interns. Russell was 187 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: a intern, was Mike Kis are working at Radio Shock 188 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: and then Russell Simmons hired him from Radio Shack, Tower Records, 189 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: Tower Records. Um. You know the thing with me, um, 190 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: all of us, you kind of open. We we led 191 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: deft can it was not even a thing. And selling 192 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: the company didn't mean we didn't still love and live 193 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: for the company. Building a new company with now the 194 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: Aft music didn't mean that we left hip hop our 195 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: responsibility and always totally or I really only want to 196 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: do this with him, you know what I mean at 197 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: the end of the day. But we got to continue 198 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: to build the pyramid so we can continue to get 199 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: bigger and employ more people and keep the culture moving. 200 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: So we never stopped. And I think right now what 201 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: you're seeing as a surgeons of young people who are 202 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: living in today because they are native to the Internet. 203 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes we get caught up in our memories or what 204 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: we did, and it impedes our possibilities because we anything 205 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: that's possible for anybody to be alive today and don't 206 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: feel anything is possible. So when Leo said, Yo, we 207 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: want to do it again. You want to do an 208 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: No Rector company? I said hell yeah, Because now that's 209 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: when people thought it was crazy to do it. I 210 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: said yeah, let's do it. So to me, if we're 211 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: not reinventing ourselves every day, making ourselves better, put more 212 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: tools in our tool box, I don't think we're gonna 213 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: build bigger houses and better houses and more places for 214 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: people to live and growing. So Kevin's always thinking about others. 215 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: And I so appreciate that. I just gave a speech 216 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: for a thousand people upstairs and I made reference to 217 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: the Cold Crush Brothers and nobody knew what I was trying. 218 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: I was about to say, so bold a smack, a 219 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: man with his gun, his woman, this his mother, and 220 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: don't even run, and I had to hold that.

So I got to do other things. 498 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: So I choose not to spend rhymes no more for now? 499 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: So did you see me in five months with the album? 500 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: But you I seemed like like I did a call 501 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: with Leo recently and um I called him a mogul, 502 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: and Leo said, the mogul was cool. But I like 503 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: to be called a servant, like that thing that that 504 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: struck our audience everybody kept hitting us. Wants to be 505 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: called a servant, but something else, humble servant, Like how 506 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: do you guys be so successful, have these accolades, but 507 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: still have the same drive. Mm hmm. So I love 508 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: what I do, so I have no interest. I remember 509 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: when I sold death Champ and I sold it for 510 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: a big number. The next week, I was on the 511 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: plane to a convention in Miami, and the whole plane 512 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: was full of people going to convention. And I walked 513 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: down the hallway just stapping people up, saying what up, 514 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: what up? What up? And they all looked at me 515 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: and said, didn't you just get papered up? What are 516 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: you coming to this convention for. Aren't you supposed to 517 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: go to a beach somewhere? And I said, you know, 518 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: when you think about a beach, it's just a hot, dusty, 519 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: dirty place. You just want to know that you can 520 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: go when you can go. But I love doing this ship. 521 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: It's the thought process that you can go to the beach. 522 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: I don't sit in the sun and that dusty, dirty beach. 523 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: But it's a nice imagination to have. What I love 524 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: doing is waking up every morning working with my partner Kevin, 525 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: working and finding new wonderful talent like day day. Just 526 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: I just love being inspired by Reina, who runs our 527 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: marketing department. So it's just I guess it's a career 528 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: versus a job, and so I'd like to continue with 529 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: this doing this and YouTube can uh ditto ditto. But 530 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: it gets like a little bit more serious to me because, 531 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: like you gotta understand, I'm not raising rappers or singers 532 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: or other men to have kids that have to be 533 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: influential in their lives, and most of them don't have 534 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: fathers and most of times so you're you're you know, 535 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: I don't mean I don't call uncle dad all that 536 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: kind of shots before um, and so I look at 537 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: it as, uh, with success comes more responsibility. So I 538 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: wasn't raised by myself. So anything, anybody, if I get 539 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: money with you, you're gonna have a different kind of 540 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: respect for me when I tell you some grown manship, 541 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,479 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So to me, I think, 542 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: really our responsibility is to give you guys a platform 543 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: and an opportunity and support and conversation and just stewardship 544 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 1: to be better people, you know, and life. So it's 545 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: not how can I'm not a record exactly. I'm gonna 546 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: say I'm somebody who is a life changer, you know. 547 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,959 Speaker 1: I really, if you get with us, we're gonna change 548 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: your life. You're gonna be a better man. I can't 549 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 1: say even some of the million records, but you definitely 550 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: will be a better man. But I remember one point 551 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: when lee All had left and went to Atlantic and 552 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: you were still kind of like in death Jam and 553 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: it was like the l A Read thing, and I 554 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: remember having a meeting with you, and I was like 555 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 1: he was like, No, everything's gonna be all right, Everything's 556 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 1: gonna be But I knew you was lying, like like 557 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: lying to me, but like in a good way, Like 558 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: look Norway, we're gonna get the funk about of him 559 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: not working with this guy.

We never 663 00:41:54,760 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: felt like outwardly facing things were representative of our influence, 664 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: in our power. So we are under very understated. Period 665 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: are all the office you referred to was comfortable, but 666 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 1: was understated. It was homie, So rock paper scissor. We 667 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: go for the homie and not for the flashy. We 668 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: want people to come in and recognize that work is 669 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: getting done, not that we're putting our feet up on 670 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 1: very expensive desk. We want all the money to stay 671 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: on the screen. We don't We don't want to waste 672 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: money by you know, trying to act important because we 673 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: have flashier offices or bigger cars. It's we're past that. 674 00:42:52,680 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: We're in the rubber band stage. Okay, so now the 675 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 1: young dog. I want to speak about young Doug because 676 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: at one point it kind of seemed like young Doug 677 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: was actually on babies cash money. Then he seemed like 678 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: he was with Gucci Man, and he seemed like and 679 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: it was like when you stepped in, it kind of 680 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: made him. It seemed like his whole Now it seemed 681 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: like you was the right choice. Now was he originally 682 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: signed the three D From the beginning, he was signed 683 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: to Gucci, and Gucci signed his action to us. And 684 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: we didn't feel that we needed to run around and 685 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't critical to us that everybody knew and had 686 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: to know, you know, you know when I went to 687 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: the Red Parent this is real old school New York City. 688 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: When Fat Cat came and he sat in that corner, 689 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 1: he didn't, he didn't, he didn't, he didn't, he didn't 690 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: advertise that he was fat Cat. But and it's more 691 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: powerful who's that guy in the corner. So I like 692 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: when people put their name, our name in their mouth 693 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 1: because of the understated thing that we got going. You know, 694 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: it's silly when I see people rolling with big security guys, 695 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: big big, stupid security guys. The first ones to run, 696 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 1: the first one to run. Okay, it's that little guy. 697 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: It's that little guy you gotta be worried about. Right, 698 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 1: it's a little guy that you gotta be worried about. 699 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna spill it now that you've got that. Okay, 700 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: that's my friend twin. He went to Vegas with eight 701 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 1: dollars and came back with twenty. He's the brokenst He 702 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 1: got a good he got a good hulk, broken riches. 703 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: I know, a bigger famous and thank you, thank you. 704 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: Yeah they are. They are so um and now three 705 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:17,439 Speaker 1: hundred is it three sixty based company or people? Can 706 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: you know, get down with three hundred and um? We 707 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 1: believe in three sixty. We want to be partners, partners, 708 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: not you know, and we don't want to open up 709 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 1: the barbecue restaurant and then you start selling barbecue shops 710 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 1: out the back. You want to be involved in every 711 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: We want to be involved in everything, you know, But 712 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: there is the negative connotation to the whole You don't 713 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 1: care about the connation We don't pay any attention to 714 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: the connotation because we go to work a negative because people, no, no, 715 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: it hasn't a negative connotation because no one did it 716 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 1: before us. So that's why it has a negative connotation. 717 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: And and you know the reality is we want to 718 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 1: be just partners. You know, if we're going to invest 719 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: our capital, our sweat equity. If you ask me, I'm 720 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: going to open up a restaurant and I need some capital, 721 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: what do you think the capital usually represents? Now, imagine 722 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 1: if I wasn't just capital you came to me and said, 723 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know anything about the restaurant business. 724 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 1: You know about the restaurant business. Fact that this great idea. 725 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: So not only am I putting up capital, I'm putting 726 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: a sweat capital too. Time is money, you know. So 727 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: I just want to be if you if it's successful 728 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: and and everybody loves the barbecue, then we go together 729 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 1: and say let's make some barbecue sacks. And we've been 730 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: doing it. We're doing it forever with the right artists. 731 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: They always wanted us to be because essentially it's like 732 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: you're management. It's not only like we listen. Even young boy, 733 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 1: I care who he's opening for what time is he 734 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 1: going on? That's not the most record people don't by 735 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: the way, most of them don't even show up, you 736 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Part of that. So the reality 737 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,240 Speaker 1: of it is the conversations. We have an uh seed 738 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: funder early conversations. But you have to want to be 739 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 1: my partner now. And the labels built to have different 740 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 1: kinds of deals for different kinds of people, whether you 741 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: want to be an entrepreneur, star your own label, whether 742 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: you want to be a straight artist or but we 743 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 1: have to be involved in your life funk rap fu 744 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 1: fucking singing.

Business 750 00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: is business. But at the end of the day, if 751 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to invest in you and you're going to 752 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: invest in me, that we want to eat with each other. 753 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,320 Speaker 1: But LL comes to you right now, it says Kevin Lows, 754 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 1: I want to put out a record, and I only 755 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 1: trust you and Leo. We talked about it will be 756 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 1: it would be an honor to put out his record, 757 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: a fucking honor. Yeah, we talked about it to North. 758 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 1: I know where he was going. It's not trust. Here's 759 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,839 Speaker 1: the thing. We live in the unique world of digital distribution, 760 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 1: so I don't have to go so far on the 761 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 1: limb to make a bunch of them and then spend 762 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of money to buy that real estate in 763 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,799 Speaker 1: the record store. So we could get it on in 764 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: a very inexpensive way that you could test the market 765 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 1: in a innocent, honest, but effective way.

But I caught 828 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: every fucking ball and I put everybody out the last 829 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: time I was called last. So that's why you know, 830 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: I just have to work harder. I'm not that intelligent, 831 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm not that you know. I don't have insane gift, 832 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,319 Speaker 1: but I'm ready to put it on people and work 833 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 1: very very hard. Be one man. I want to take 834 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 1: it from the Run DMC days because like, can you 835 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: give us a run DMC story because it was a 836 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 1: road manager. I'm proud. I'm proud. Uh. The thing that 837 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 1: I use every single day more than anything was my 838 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 1: road manager. My road experience, like Kevin was referring to 839 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: the road. My road experience separates me from all those 840 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: other people I compete with every day. So we have 841 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 1: so many stories from going up to Detroit and UM 842 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:53,399 Speaker 1: witnessing the young boys, UH, to um Long Beach when 843 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: all ship broke out, and and we're on the UM 844 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:04,720 Speaker 1: Nightly News, UH the Live Aid and performing in front 845 00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:10,320 Speaker 1: of that historic show. UM. So many many beautiful stories. 846 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,839 Speaker 1: But I guess the biggest and most important story that 847 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 1: tells you the fabric of who I am and the 848 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:22,319 Speaker 1: fabric of what we represent. And remember we represent the 849 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: blue collar, the hard working is when we were selling 850 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 1: to joe Lewis is back to back, two gardens, back 851 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: to back, the spectrum, back to back. Our click on 852 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: the road was five Joey, d J Running Ray and Leor. 853 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 1: We didn't have an entourage, big security guides. We carried 854 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:54,400 Speaker 1: our own luggage and before the curtain dropped and the 855 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 1: music was finished, we're in the car on the way 856 00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 1: to the next city. So, you know, all when I 857 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:06,200 Speaker 1: look at all these um new rappers with their you know, 858 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 1: fifty people entourage and these big security guards, that all 859 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 1: you have to say is booing this start running running 860 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:25,799 Speaker 1: um um. It's it's like clowns. And so that's the 861 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: greatest story is we never missed a gig in three 862 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,759 Speaker 1: and a half years. One gig, one night. We did 863 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:38,240 Speaker 1: five shows in three different cities, three different states, five 864 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,280 Speaker 1: shows in three different states. We were mobile, We stayed 865 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,240 Speaker 1: out of trouble and we were onto the next city. 866 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 1: And that's you know, you know, we were ingrateful. Do 867 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 1: you remember the fish spot we used to eat that 868 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:59,080 Speaker 1: La pasca do absolutely absolutely that fish soup man.

I don't know. I 893 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 1: don't even know. I only think about records. I know 894 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,240 Speaker 1: this is you know, um um, you know I'm pre 895 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,280 Speaker 1: sucker MC. So that's how I think about time. Is 896 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:41,439 Speaker 1: that you know? So I don't know. If you read 897 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:47,680 Speaker 1: the recent report the r I a where for the 898 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:55,360 Speaker 1: first time in eighteen years, the business has grown. I'm 899 00:57:55,360 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 1: telling you, and I'm telling everybody that listens, if you're 900 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: an entrepreneur and you want to get into a great business, 901 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:09,000 Speaker 1: not a good business, and get papered up, get into 902 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 1: the music business, the record business. For the last two decades, 903 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:19,080 Speaker 1: the business has been shrinking and consolidating. So there are 904 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 1: no deaf jams, no islands, no motowns, no A and MS, 905 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:36,680 Speaker 1: no Chrysalis's boutiques, boutiques. This is a time for you 906 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: to call go together a little capital because it's not expensive, 907 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 1: and find stunning talent and putting them out in the marketplace. 908 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:51,480 Speaker 1: This is the moment in time. I've never seen a 909 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 1: more fertile business environment as it is today. So your listeners, 910 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,680 Speaker 1: I know they love the nostalgia and the fund that 911 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 1: you guys have, but all serious, all jokes aside. I 912 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 1: do want to leave you and your your your viewership 913 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:18,240 Speaker 1: with the absolute clarity that what better business that you 914 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:23,479 Speaker 1: can go tonight and record someone ship it the next 915 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:29,280 Speaker 1: day all around the world at zero costs, no manufacturing costs, 916 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:35,720 Speaker 1: no shipping costs, no obsolescence, no inventory, no everything digital 917 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 1: and inexpensive and very efficient. Remember we used to make 918 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 1: videos that cost us money to promote our songs. Now 919 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 1: there's a YouTube that you put the video you can 920 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 1: you just put a video up and get paid for it. 921 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: So I'm just is saying, man, I'm tired of the 922 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: highly concentrated industry. Now is the time you You may 923 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 1: be too late if you keep waiting to get this paper. 924 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot of paper out here, and this is 925 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 1: a great business.

All the world's music for ten 929 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 1: dollars a month. And it's the first iteration. My daughter 930 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 1: doesn't want to hear classical music or or African music. 931 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 1: She likes to pop hits. Maybe as we iterate that 932 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: business her her bill would be three bucks a month 933 01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 1: and she only gets the top hits. So it's just 934 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 1: the infancy.

But it's like you guys just 1025 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:08,720 Speaker 1: like like I know these artists don't know who you are, 1026 01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 1: and that's what would it like.

But y'all knew each 1498 01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:12,720 Speaker 1: other a long time to press you're a very instrumental 1499 01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:15,840 Speaker 1: person in this industry, and you know that's what a podcast, 1500 01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:17,519 Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to do here. We want to 1501 01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:21,200 Speaker 1: keep our legends alive our music. So much the minute 1502 01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:24,720 Speaker 1: somebody does something, somebody you know, they find out this, 1503 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:27,519 Speaker 1: we just kill our own legends.

So what we want to do purpose 1505 01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,360 Speaker 1: of our podcasts to keep our legends alive, and specially 1506 01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,600 Speaker 1: especially to people that's behind the scenes, because yeah, with 1507 01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,840 Speaker 1: the forefront as artist, but you know what, artists ain't 1508 01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:43,040 Speaker 1: ship without five people behind him, and sometimes people don't 1509 01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:45,880 Speaker 1: recognize those five people behind him and those positions. So 1510 01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:49,800 Speaker 1: that's why we interview Leon and Kevin Lyles earlier because 1511 01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:51,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, they just think that 1512 01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,040 Speaker 1: they're just the check writers when they're a lot more 1513 01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:55,960 Speaker 1: to it.

I come from 1547 01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:06,680 Speaker 1: from handing out flyers saying that is that possible for 1548 01:40:06,800 --> 01:40:12,519 Speaker 1: the Street Team to exist again? Because the online it's 1549 01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:17,200 Speaker 1: it's definitely a lane for it. But the labels think 1550 01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:20,840 Speaker 1: the artists got to formulate their own streets. Yea. They 1551 01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,599 Speaker 1: want you to just go there, going the conference room, 1552 01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:27,080 Speaker 1: sitting in front of the screen, and that's the new 1553 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,040 Speaker 1: Street Team.
