And I cut the conversation. 351 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: I cut the conversation because I don't want to want 352 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: to be the dude sitting up your argument about it 353 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: here hot something that suggestive, It's even more suggestive. Music 354 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: is even more subjective. Music is even more subjective than 355 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: sports is because with sports, at least you can go 356 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: by the numbers, you can look at numbers, But with 357 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: hip hop it's really a to me. It is so 358 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: subjective that it balls down to what inspires you the most? Well, 359 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: do you listen to the most? Whatever you listen to, 360 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: whatever you listen to the most, is probably what's going 361 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: to inspire you the most. So what's gonna like you 362 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: used to use the word resonate, It's probably gonna be 363 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: what resonates with you the most. So this is why 364 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: I don't even be tripping when people be talking about 365 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: this person is the coldest, this and top five that's 366 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: their top five, the big Boy. 367 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 4: That's what that book is about. 368 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 3: If if you because if you go to the very 369 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 3: first oration what and you will see that I will 370 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 3: tell you that that is no right or wrong answer 371 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 3: in this book, right exactly, there's no right or wrong 372 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 3: answer when it comes to hip hop and who is 373 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 3: the greatest? 374 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 4: Because who is your greatest? 375 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 3: That's why that Billboard fifty list caused such a stir 376 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 3: and I've seen Just before I came here, I was 377 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: on Instagram and I seen an interview that or the 378 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: Auto Dialogue did with styles P and they was talking 379 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 3: about Tupac compath to jay Z and Styles people like 380 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 3: jay Z was a greater lyricist. 381 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 4: But when it cut Tupac, Tupac resonated more. 382 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: With but but what is a lyricist? A lyricist is 383 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: somebody who writes the songs you write.

He can tell you if you go 415 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: by just an album. But Pot put the distance between 416 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: him and everybody else with his catalog. His catalog is extensive. 417 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: In my opinion, it's the catalog his it's his catalog 418 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: and uh diverse subject matter because some people can just 419 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: write about party stuff, some people can just talk about depression. 420 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: Some people are just good with abstract rapping, you know, 421 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: making stuffs, dound fly or whatever.

I would never say anything to 839 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 3: harm you, or anything to hurt you, or tell you 840 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 3: anything to put you. 841 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 4: In any kind of harm's way. Never. 842 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 3: Ain't no way you could think that. Ain't no way 843 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 3: you could sit here and think that I'm doing something 844 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 3: to cause any kind of stress, strain or problem in 845 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:50,399 Speaker 3: your life. 846 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 1: But if somebody tells you that you did something or 847 00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: you said something that caused them trauma, They caused them uh, anxiety. Uh, 848 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: then you have to if you really care about that relationship, 849 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: then you have to trust that that's how they feel, 850 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,720 Speaker 1: that's how they feel. It ain't about how I feel 851 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 1: about what I said. It's about how they received it, 852 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,719 Speaker 1: how they feel about it. So you have to feelidate us. 853 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 4: If it was up to her, I'd be singing Mary Popping. 854 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: Songs the same Mary Popping songs to your daughter.

Never, even when I was, you know, 865 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 3: in the streets, she never She never shut down everything 866 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,760 Speaker 3: that I was doing on her behalf. 867 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 4: She never seen any of that. Pierre, Well, we. 868 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 1: As men, we don't have the luxury of our daughter's 869 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: going extended periods without our influence. We don't have that luxury, 870 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: you know, Like it's too many people out there that 871 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: are you know, that are dangerous predators. It's too many people. 872 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: It's too many, it's too much, it's too easy. And 873 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,439 Speaker 1: even though they may think they got it, they ain't. 874 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: They ain't got to figure it out like that. So 875 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 1: we just don't have that luxury. I remember, like when 876 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: my daughter was like maybe maybe fourteen thirteen, something like that, 877 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 1: she did something. I punished her, and she called herselfs 878 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 1: gonna walk around the house, not speaking to me. Right, 879 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: she gonna walk around the house. He ain't gonna speak. 880 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: So what I did. 881 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 3: That's a broomstick in the back where we would grow up. Yeah, well, yeah, 882 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 3: they're gonna walk around my house. And I walk past 883 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 3: me and I say nothing brought my tea leader would 884 00:46:59,000 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 3: have knocked you across. 885 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,879 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, perhaps that's why me and my tea lady 886 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: wasn't that close, because that's when my mama had done 887 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: something like that too. But I you know, when she 888 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: she walked around the house, try to call herself not speaking. 889 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 1: She go sit down on the sofa in another room. 890 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: I'll come right there and sit right by next to him. 891 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right up on the right up on yeah. 892 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,359 Speaker 1: And then she'd go in the kitchen and be doing 893 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 1: something I go in the kitchen a like I'm looking 894 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: for something. I'm just looking. I'm just anything to be 895 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: close to her. And then I turned to her and 896 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: I remember one one day I turned to her and 897 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: I was like, and this isn't going for a long time. 898 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,360 Speaker 1: This went on probably for like twenty four hours or so, 899 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 1: but maybe the second day I turned to her and 900 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,879 Speaker 1: I said, this is just an example of what you're 901 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with for the rest of your life. 902 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,760 Speaker 1: I ain't never going nowhere, no matter what happened. 903 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,800 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be there until I till he take me 904 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 4: up out of here. 905 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there. And they need to know that. 906 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 1: They need to know that they should never have to. 907 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 1: They just never second guessed that. And you know, sometimes man, 908 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: we just have to. Sometimes we're just gonna have to, like, uh, 909 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,800 Speaker 1: like treat people how they want to be treated. You 910 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you know. 911 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 3: Or somebody asked me one time underneath my post because 912 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 3: like if you really follow me or something, you know, 913 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 3: because I'm an open book about aspects of my life. 914 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 3: So somebody left a comment one time. They was like, oh, 915 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 3: and I usually don't respond to comments a lot of 916 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 3: times I don't even read them because you know, because 917 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 3: once I say something, I stand on business. Whatever I said, 918 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 3: I meant it. It wasn't an accident. I don't have 919 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 3: to explain myself. Hopefully I gave it to you in 920 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 3: terms that you can understand. And or they was like, 921 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 3: you got a daughter. What if your daughter met a 922 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 3: man like you?
