That's when the transition happened because 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.960 you know, Um, I pretty much growed up in the 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.639 you know, grew up in the business where certain things 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.000 were taken care of, you know what I mean, And 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.560 I didn't understand the importance of having those key components 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.440 and you know record business, you know, or a company 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.840 that you know was an extension and ordered representative of me, 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.000 and that actually really gave a funk about what I 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.280 was doing, you know what I'm saying.

Like and also the game 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.919 was changing, you know what I'm saying. From the Napster age, 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.519 you know what I'm saying. It was like we started 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.560 downloading music and the I the little first iPod came out, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.400 you know what i mean, And that was the twenty 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.840 one album. You know, Donnianer gave me my biggest you know, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.080 a check, you know what I'm saying, The biggest check 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.800 I ever received in an advance, you know what I'm saying, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:13.160 And you know it was it was a couple of ms, 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.360 you know, saying a couple of ems, saying a couple 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:26.800 of couple of ms.

Yeah, not to cut 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:20.440 you off. Most people don't know initially you're going to 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:26.320 be the first artist on Young Money, right right, I 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:34.240 get it in has a verse a very exquisite we're 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:39.560 having about Jody by Little Wayne. Come on, there was 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:44.560 a whole plan. But now you're learning the business exactly. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.080 And I gotta stand up for myself, you know what 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.919 I'm saying. So after I signed the Young Money, you know, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.880 and I tell the story. I told the story many times, 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:53.280 you know what I'm saying. But after I got signed 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.520 a Young Money and the business wasn't business, and I 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.960 was like, hold hold up, I gotta make moves. I'm out, 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.920 you know what I'm saying. Um. And then that's when 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.400 you know, me and Wayne and Macmain you know, I mean, 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.000 decided to part ways, you know what I'm saying. Um. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.680 But yeah, that that was my learning curve. That was 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.159 my learning cura. Now. Yeah, and you know, if if 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.479 the businesses is not business, and you know what I mean, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.080 if you can't take see you know, I already come 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:26.719 from a business family style perspective, you know what I mean. 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.120 And now at this point in time when I'm you know, 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.760 over at Capital, I'm getting my feet wet, you know 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.920 what I mean. So what do I mean by the 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.200 business wasn't business? And it was like people wasn't keeping 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.680 their word and I just didn't have time for that. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.360 You know what I mean. If you say it's one 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.240 thing and then it's another, I don't have time for that, 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.000 you know what I mean. So that was that uh moment, 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.400 because you know that that uh what was that song 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:55.400 called that Lloyd end up getting on? Um? Yeah, that 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.560 went on to be a you know, crazy record. You know, 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.760 I did get the Drake record. I mean I did 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:05.919 get to you know, uh do the Yeah, but what 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.320 was that on U? So far gone, so far gone? 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.240 But I did get to So it was still some 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.840 good work that record that we're not gonna brush over 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.679 that record. Yeah, yeah, that record is special. Yeah, shout 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:22.280 out to Brillar Milestu. That's the homie. Great people made 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:28.960 a record about you. Yeah that record, bro. Yeah, I 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.840 feel like that record was an introduction to where R 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:38.440 and B was going straight up, straight up, dam no, 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.720 no no singing off the beat on the beach. It was. 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.160 It was a vibe like, yes, Shan is the ultimate 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.160 vibe we always had, that is what it is. But 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:55.160 this was like the R and B hip hop. I'm singing, 0:07:55.200 --> 0:08:01.000 but I'm talking to right and I'm emotional. Right, that's facts, 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.640 you know what I'm saying. Like it but it had 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.760 it was the merge. Yeah, that's fact. That became the 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:11.360 Bryson Tillers, that became the Weekend that became Scissor, Like 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.360 you know what I'm saying that It was literally like listen, 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.920 I'm on a vibe. That's facts, Like I get it, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.360 I get it right, y'all. Trying to fix vocals and 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:25.160 ship we vibe right, and I remember that like talking 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:30.920 to women about that record and being like, you know, 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.880 because we come from a very purist R and B 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.840 stance and we've had to re tune at times, and 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.640 hearing it at first, I'm like, I just like it 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.800 all the way on and this ain't this. And then 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:48.080 I'm like, but this ship killed. It's wrong, but it's right. Yeah, 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.760 And I gotta shout out Forty because how that how 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.040 that record even came about was because of him, you 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.199 know what I mean. We was at the Beverly Wilshire 0:08:55.880 --> 0:09:01.120 and they was just finishing up that keep page, you 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.160 know what I'm saying. He was like, hey, you wanna 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.440 come hop on this record, like you know, successes on 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.760 and I'm like, okay, cool. I laid down the melody 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.280 and then Drake came back and then we finished the song. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.079 He was like, I got this melody. He's like, this 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.120 is the best one go off of this, you know 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.560 what I'm saying. So, so shout out to forty because 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.960 his deal, you know, you know, he's special, special, super special, 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.720 I think, and you made a decision that it's tough 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.400 to make because a lot of times when the business 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:37.080 isn't businessing because of who it's not businessing with you 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:42.559 kind of just try to stick around and stick it out. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.480 You know, this is I mean, this is right. I mean, 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:51.760 you know because from our side of it too, though, right, 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.240 because we ultimately went in with you on faith and 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.040 that's true belief in our in our little brother, and 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.640 that's fact what I mean, Like there was no upfront 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:05.839 anything I want to pull up and pull up. We 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.599 put in work with you, and I think initially, I 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.240 don't know if you and I had a conversation about this, 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.800 but I think initially I was upset about it. No, 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.520 it was some friction. I remember, it was some friction. Yeah, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.160 I was. I was upset about you know what I 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.080 mean if anybody that knows me like I don't I 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.840 wear my heart on my sleeve and what I'm saying 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:29.040 like and but then I had to also understand the 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.680 business that you were moving into as your own businessman, 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.280 and with us being businessmen. It made me have more 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.679 understanding and be like, you know what these these this 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.200 is his career. This is songs for us, but this 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.640 is this young man's career. I can't be mad at 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.360 him for how it's playing out. And doing what's best 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:53.959 for him. And I think a lot of time we 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.760 spoke about this before we got you know, before we 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:02.920 start recording our feeling about communication. Yeah yeah, and you 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.640 didn't run from that communication, even at a at a 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.720 young age, because still you at this point, you're what before, 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.640 but you didn't run from that. You were like, bro, 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.880 like this is this a situation? Bro? Because I'm like, nigger, 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.640 they leaking the records and they're playing this niggas first, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.840 we ain't got all this together. You know, we're going 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.720 through that whole phase and you're giving me your side 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.720 of it. Made me have a better understanding and be 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.280 like you know where bro, I get it? Yeah, yeah, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:33.280 not get it.

You know what I'm saying. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.280 It's a small percentage of people that are gonna stand 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.440 by what they say.

It's so many great 0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:13.720 stories and the thing about dance what people don't even 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:19.159 understand is it's a full display of exuberance when you're happy, 0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:22.760 you dance. When you win money, you dance. So dancing 0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.560 is you know, culturally uh necessary, you know what I mean. 0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:29.720 So what's the thing that used to have?

I needed that one because 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:19.080 because people don't understand that, you know, especially when you're 0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:21.960 getting like partnerships and things. Because were you were you 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:23.879 an artist deal at that point?

Right you 0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:53.400 and I just spoke about the other night. Can you 0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:55.880 kind of speak to that a little bit, bro of 0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:02.200 there's no or else for y'all to go. This is 0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.480 this is this is home and it's and it's so 0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:12.160 connected emerged into this business, that's true, that it's like 0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.560 you can't get away from it. There's a Nikka who 0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:20.760 is a full gang members, full killer, probably doing a 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:26.400 honey years. That was your neighbor, Yeah for sure, that's 0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:28.960 like Yo, I went to school with Marian know he 0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:34.000 was Mari then though, and he pressed over. Yeah no, actually, actually, 0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:37.160 my my boy, my best friend. We went to elementary together. 0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:41.320 Um he um. He just got a letter that he'll 0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:43.080 be able to come home a little bit early. He'd 0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:45.240 been in there twelve years. I think you might have 0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:52.120 met him. His name, his name is Bony. Yeah, yeah, 0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:56.600 so yeah, just to speak to that. Yes, but we 0:29:56.680 --> 0:30:00.760 got relatives everywhere, but even within this industry of like 0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:04.320 sometimes you know, like we had CO sign on and 0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:08.120 I me and CO spoke about the situation where he 0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:11.120 went back to Chicago, and I got on his ask 0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:14.360 about going back to Chicago. So I'm like, nigger, don't quit, right. 0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:16.680 I know that's where you're from, but you're not going 0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:21.760 there to to build something else at home. You're going 0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:24.320 there because right now you didn't win in l A. 0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:30.920 He was forced to go home. Speak on the pressures 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.880 of this being home. Yeah, there's nowhere for y'all to go. 0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:40.400 It's nowhere to retreat to of like I used to be. 0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.800 I used to be. You can't get away from it. 0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:47.920 So that has to be a whole another pressure. It is, 0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.200 it is, but it is and it's not you know 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:53.720 what I'm saying. Um, you know, uh, you know, we 0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:57.239 still take the back streets, you know, yeah, you know, 0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.719 we still take the back streets you know of for 0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:03.040 me because we come from because I come from such 0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:06.400 a place where entertainment or you know, let's just say 0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:08.560 a lot of people from other places come and make 0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:12.760 their dreams come true. You know. Um, you still, you know, 0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:15.640 got to navigate in a way that you can you know, 0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:18.120 maintain your you know your size, you know what I mean. 0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:20.320 And I do that. I do that well, you know, 0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:24.000 with not always being where everybody is, you know what 0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:26.280 I'm saying, But it is true in fact that all 0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:28.760 of us that are born and raised here is Yeah. 0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:31.120 I mean, we could go to New York, but you 0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:33.640 know what I mean, we're we're appreciated there too. They 0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:35.640 love us there, you know what I mean. Like I 0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:37.400 got a huge fan base in New York. You know 0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:38.800 what I mean, but it's not home, you know what 0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:43.320 I'm saying, Like, you know, our culture is everybody's culture. 0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.040 You know what I'm saying. Our food is everybody's food, 0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:48.719 you know what I mean. So being from here, you know, 0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:52.080 and not having essentially a place to go home to, 0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:54.880 I think I think. I think the way that I 0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:56.920 look at it is more souls like just I just 0:31:56.960 --> 0:31:58.800 appreciate where I am, you know what I'm saying. I 0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:01.440 appreciate this place. When it's time for me to do business, 0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:02.760 I know where to go, I know where to be, 0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:04.960 I know where the time to go, what not to do. 0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:07.720 You know what I'm saying. It's just kind of always 0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:09.480 been that way. You know what I mean. I mean, 0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:12.280 but but I can't go take a drive up to 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:14.840 Big Bear. You know what I'm saying. I can't go 0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:17.640 drive to Vegas.

But for 0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:27.440 the most part, you know what I mean To speak 0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:30.000 about what you're saying, Like, yeah, man, this is home. 0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:33.240 This is what it is seven.

But one time I heard overheard this convo. 0:56:39.920 --> 0:56:45.960 It was just a word. It was okay, let me think, 0:56:46.200 --> 0:56:52.280 um okay, Uh, Me and uh a friend of mine, 0:56:53.040 --> 0:56:55.400 you know, we was in the studio.

And 0:57:01.880 --> 0:57:04.040 I can't tell you how it ends, but I could 0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:07.120 tell you that me and this particular person was hanging 0:57:07.120 --> 0:57:10.319 out with some young ladies, and um, you know, the 0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:12.640 young lady came to us and she told her she said, 0:57:13.960 --> 0:57:18.240 she said, I want both of y'all.

Can you play trained music? 0:57:24.800 --> 0:57:32.120 But but but I want to also add that I 0:57:32.240 --> 0:57:34.720 was maybe twenty three at this point, you know what 0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:39.440 I'm saying. So, um, even though I was experienced, you know, Um, 0:57:39.480 --> 0:57:43.240 a woman has never been that straightforward, you know. So 0:57:43.360 --> 0:57:45.720 it kind of made me nervous. It kind of made 0:57:45.720 --> 0:57:48.680 me nervous. And I ain't saying old names. What happened 0:57:48.680 --> 0:57:50.919 at the end of the story. But you can come 0:57:50.960 --> 0:57:58.320 to your own ideas. Yeah, there's nothing happened, but things happened, 0:57:58.960 --> 0:58:01.160 you know what I'm saying. But I ain't saying no names. 0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:06.880 You know. It's like it's it's when a woman kind 0:58:06.920 --> 0:58:11.920 of assumes a different position, probably the position that you 0:58:12.000 --> 0:58:15.320 were supposed to play. It can sell you all. And 0:58:15.720 --> 0:58:18.440 it did and it did, and if you're not careful, 0:58:18.480 --> 0:58:24.640 it can mess up your blood flow. You gotta be focused. 0:58:26.240 --> 0:58:29.960 And in these type of situations, if someone you know, 0:58:30.160 --> 0:58:33.600 if someone's out performing you, you got to get into 0:58:33.600 --> 0:58:37.600 your mind. You know, you've really got to be a 0:58:37.640 --> 0:58:42.000 man of the craft. You gotta be a true cocksman. 0:58:42.880 --> 0:58:45.640 You gotta be a cocksman. You gotta be a to 0:58:45.720 --> 0:58:52.920 perform well under these circumstances.
