Speaker 1: playing the album title because you know, I've heard album,

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: so I get it. But some people might be like,

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: why do you why are you mixing God with those

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: worldly things? I mean, God created the world, but beyond that, Um,

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's three things in life that

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, um, affect us very deeply, you know, and

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: need you know, need to be talked about. Um. God

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: for one. You know, some people wake up and I

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: don't even believe in God and reach with a small

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: form before they pray. Yeah, I mean you know, I

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: mean not don't even pray. You know what I'm saying,

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: like it don't even get to prayer. It's like we

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: just had people walking around empty, you know, and we

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: wonder why we have so many, so many things that

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: they hold us back. You know, No, people don't have

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: something higher to reach to. So I feel like I

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: just wanted to give that to people, you know, from

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: a perspective of you don't have to be perfect to

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: love God, you know, and just in that essence, you know,

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: and especially with our community and seeing the stuff that

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: we'd be going through, you know as of lately. And

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: then the money, you know, it's just something that I

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: grew up. It's something that I grew up and being

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: from Baltimore, you know, being basically like raised by like kingpins.

33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: Like I lost my dad when I was sixteen. My

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: dad was murdered, so like from that point, that's where

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: you really start to become a man in shape who

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: you are. And I was embraced by just street dudes

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: who was doing it on a major level in I

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: could have went any way in life, you know what

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So, you know, that was the money part,

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: just letting people know that money shouldn't you know, um,

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: it shouldn't rule your heart, you know what I'm saying.

42
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: And then um, the war and my and my um

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: and my depth definition of war. It's not like the

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: stuff we see on TV. And it's not like the racism.

45
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: And it's not that I feel like it's the it's

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: the it's the personal wars, the war with for you know,

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: it's the war for your soul, you know what I'm saying.

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: So those are the things I wanted to break down

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: in my in my CD, because my CD wasn't that

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: CD in particular wasn't about me. God, money, war wasn't

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: about me, one about lows, you know what I'm saying.

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: It was about us and what we go through and

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: how we just need to be there for each other.

54
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: So and you know what I noticed too, when it

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: comes to God, a lot of times people pray when

56
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: they need something, not necessarily to be thankful for the

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: things that they have. Sometimes the only time somebody might

58
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: praise if they're like, oh Lord, please don't let me

59
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: be pregnant, you know, don't let you know how you

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: paid the thing you have. You made that prayer before.

61
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: I haven't, I never ever. Yeah, But you know it's crazy,

62
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: like that's that's the thing to see some people use

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: God selfishly. And it's like I pray for other people

64
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: like before I prayed, or like I never prayed like

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: for like, you know, to be successful or like you know,

66
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: even though I mean you can, you can pray for

67
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: anything you want, you know. I rather pay for people

68
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: to be healthy and stuff like that. But it's up

69
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: to you, man. I mean, God ignores prayers. The godson

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: a couple of prayers praying for well yeah yeah, I

71
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: mean you gotta be careful what you wish for because

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: you might get something you're not even ready for. You know. Um,

73
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: one time it was a preacher who told a story

74
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: about a lady who prayed to to to you know,

75
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: to just get by. And that's all. That's all it

76
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: ever happened. She just got just got by, just barely,

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: because that's all she prayed for. Lord, just help us,

78
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: just please just just get by. You know. It's like

79
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: that's the power of positive thinking to maximize your blessings.

80
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Like you speak things in the fruition. So if that's

81
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: what you're constantly seeing yourself, I just want to get

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: bodies gonna get bay, that's gonna happen. Or when people

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: be like man, I don't even know there you go.

84
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting U when you came in h

85
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: angels said something what You've got a gun, I don't

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: know what and you was like, no, I got God. Yeah,

87
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: because you know when somebody goes in the bank and

88
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: say where's it? No, I mean that usually that means like,

89
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, you got to you don't want to say

90
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah. No, man, that's interesting to hear

91
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: you saying you were saying you were looking for water.

92
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: That's then, I mean, yeah, I was looking. I was

93
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: actually looking for I had a feji water. I don't

94
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: know what I did with it. But it's interesting here

95
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: you say that because it made me think of it.

96
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's fresh on my mind. You know, I'm

97
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: from I'm born to Charleston, so I'm thinking about the

98
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: Charleston shooting. And I heard what the representative said. He goes, oh,

99
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, well if somebody in there could have defended themselves,

100
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, that's the church they were in

101
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: their praying. Do you feel like you need guns in

102
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: church now because these things could happen? Or do you

103
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: just rely on God? I mean, at the end of

104
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: the day, man, if things like this are happening, where

105
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: people are going into you know, a holy place in

106
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: committing just like like atrocities, Like there's no way to

107
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: there's no scale to gauge what you do in that situation. Dude,

108
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: murder nine people. So like I think for some extremities,

109
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: you might you might need an extremity. You might. They

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: might need to protect themselves because I mean, you're not

111
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: aiming to harm people. So that's someone taking advantage of you.

112
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: And that's different, you know what I'm saying. So it's like,

113
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta protect your family. I bet that

114
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: preacher or whoever when they're home. You know, you gotta

115
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: think of the church as your home. You know, if

116
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: somebody walked come in your house and try to harm you,

117
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta do what you gotta do to

118
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: protect your children or your wife or you know. Nine

119
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: people died. It was young people, older people or man,

120
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: God protect me. But I still asleep from my get Yeah,

121
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: Curtis Jackson, Hey, you gotta keep it if that's if

122
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: that's if that's what people are doing, then it's it's

123
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: no it's no rules, man, you gotta you gotta protect yourself.

124
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: Now you have to sound glory to the Lord with

125
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: R Kelly. How did y'all hook up? Like, how did

126
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: what's your relationship with R. Kelly? Um, I don't have

127
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: a relationship with R. Kelly. My only relationship with R.

128
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: Kelly is that I think he's amazing and that I've

129
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: been a fan forever like everybody else. Um. I made

130
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: the record Glory to the Lord Um because I wanted

131
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: to talk to the hood. And you know, again, I'm

132
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: from Baltimore, he's from Charleston. Like we're from places where

133
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: we've seen extreme turmoil, you know what I'm saying. So

134
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: me having a foundation in Christ and just growing up

135
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: like in the church or whatever. You know, I'm not

136
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: a perfect person, but I've been extremely blessed and I've

137
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: also went through crazy, crazy situations, you know. But through

138
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: it all, you know, I give the glory to God. Man,

139
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: So I would you a rapper? You're not supposed to

140
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: do that. I don't know what these rappers do. I

141
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: don't know what I don't know what these rappers be doing, man.

Speaker 1: But you know, so why act like you can't put

143
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: hip hop and God together? I remember the time when

144
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: that's all it was about. I grew up on an

145
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: outcasting goodie mob. They were giving it up for God. Yeah, Man,

146
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: when they won awards, you don't want to thank God.

147
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Now you don't see none of that no more. Man,

148
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,400

00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: They want to give you every reason to deny God. Man.

151
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,920

Speaker 1: I watched this guy Robbie zachar Riyas all the time

153
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: like I'd just be trying to get mine, you know,

154
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, and uh he was. Someone asked him, he

155
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: does does a lot of Q and A, but he

156
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: does it at like those prestigious um, you know colleges

157
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: like Yale and Harvard with all these intellects. You know,

158
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: once people get so smart they don't need God. So

159
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: he does Q and A. So the guy asked him

160
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: about um Jonah who was in the in the whale,

161
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, in the Bible, and does he think that's

162
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: ridiculous or does he believe it? Because you know, if

163
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: somebody says something about somebody being in the whale, the

164
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: first thing you would think, in your shallow thinking, so

165
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: you don't believe it, right, So he said, if to

166
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: say you don't believe that is to say that you

167
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: ignore the miracles that we see every day. And I

168
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: think that's what people don't have enough appreciation. Your human

169
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: body is a miracle. You know, everything about you is

170
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: a miracle. It's miraculous for a woman to be able

171
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: to have a child and then be connected emotionally, um,

172
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: he said, even like into like relationships, the way men

173
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: and women, you know, the way um, we are connected

174
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: to each other, the way we're magnetized towards one another.

175
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: All those things are miraculous. But people don't have a

176
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: high enough appreciation for just the simple things in life.

177
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: So of course you don't know that, he said. So

178
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: for somebody that you know, rose from the grave and

179
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: did all that being in someone being in the whale stomach,

180
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: that's a small order. For somebody who created the sun,

181
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: and you look at it every day and appreciate it,

182
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that's just my my synopsis.

183
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Now you have all Kelly on that record. How do

184
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: you think God feels about him peeing on little girls

185
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: at one point? And it's like, I don't know, man,

186
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: Only God can judge them, you know, I don't know, man.

187
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: The alleged pe no we saw the take I ain't

188
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: see nothing, man, I ain't see nothing, man. I don't

189
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: know nothing in the world. But Kevin Wait Wait was

190
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: out part of it. I don't want nothing to do

191
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: with its clear you can get. Yeah, you know, no,

192
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: I saw good Man like I don't. I don't really know.

193
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't really know that artist. And he sounds good

194
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: on the song like that Dave Chappelle's kit. That's crazy now.

195
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: I like a ghetto boy a lot too. It seems like,

196
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about your grandmother a lot on

197
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: that record. It seems like you have a big influence

198
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, you mentioned that you're you just mentioned

199
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: your father got killed. He was murdered when I was

200
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: like sixteen. You said that on the record. He wasn't around,

201
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: so like, like, what she the one that raised you? Um? Not?

202
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: My grandmother didn't raise me, man, um My mama raised me.

203
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: At a point in my life. My grandmother on my

204
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: dad's side raised me for a little while because I

205
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: want to live with my dad. You know, a lot

206
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: of young young young men when their mom and dad's

207
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: not together, they want to go live with their dad,

Speaker 1: your son to see them, you might want, um not really,

240
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,760

00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: the you know, from the projects and raised around it.

242
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: But like my dad had careers, you know, he was

243
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: a hard working dude. Like he copped cribs and whips

244
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: and had all the flyers stuff from working and that

245
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: was what he basically instilled in us, you know. But

246
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: like all my brothers. Yeah, I'm my older brother right

247
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: now inconcentrated, my younger brother inconcentrated. You know, I'm like

248
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: the one that made it out. Did your dad know

249
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: you wanted to do music before he passed? No, my

250
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: dad never got to, Uh see me rap? Why do

251
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,840

00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: kills the cable guy? Um? Uh, I don't know, man,

253
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: it was like it was like I really don't know

254
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: the true story, but with the you know, the newspapers

255
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: had was that, um, he was giving somebody a ride

256
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: and they went to like rob him because you know,

257
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: he laced, you know what I'm saying, And they went

258
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: to rob him, and I think like all they ended

259
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: up getting was like six bucks or something and they

260
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: killed him. So he died in the car. They killed

261
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: him in the car, you know what I'm saying. Business, Yeah, man,

262
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, it's like some weak individuals.

263
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: When did you decide to start doing music? If it

264
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: was after that, like I just started writing. I just

265
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: was looking. I just I needed a way to express

266
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: like all my anger instead of like just having like

267
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: this immense hatred for the world. You know what I'm saying,

268
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: is just turned into that guy like because it was

269
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: it was it was right there. You know. I remember

270
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: like deciding like whether or not I wanted to just

271
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: hate this world and just go massacre on people or

272
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: try to figure something out, you know. So I started writing,

273
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: and many times I would had like a blank piece

274
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: of paper and get up in and still be blank.

275
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: I just knew I wanted to write something and I

276
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: didn't know what I didn't wrap, you know what I'm saying.

277
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: So then I should start writing all kinds of literature,

278
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I got into literature early,

279
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: so that like drove me to like you know, like

280
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, Egga Allan Poe and like you know, uh,

281
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost and you know different. So you

282
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: were a poet really at first, I mean I wasn't

283
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: really a poet. I was just write a writer. And

284
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: then I started trying poetry and different you know, different

285
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: displays of um of the artistry, and I just I

286
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: did it and I was I was dope at it.

287
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: And then when I ended up transferring to this other

288
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: school because I was supposed to go to my pops

289
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: because I was I played ball. I was, I was

290
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: a ball player, and I was supposed to go to

291
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: my pops. He was coaching at this other school with

292
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: my uncle Mike, and so I had to go somewhere else.

293
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: So the school I went to, they was rapping. So

294
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: at lunch every day it was on. So I would

295
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: write before lunch, and when I got to lunch, it

296
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: was time for them bars. You know what I'm saying,

297
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: so that was like my introduction. If you would have

298
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: never probably went to that school, well, my dad would

299
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: never and my dad probably wouldn't got killed. I probably

300
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: was be playing ball. Were you were? You were you

301
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the kid who are brothers and father? I used to

302
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: be like, God, dude, don't come over here with us.

303
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: We're in the street. You go ball go right, um,

304
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: you know what, I've always been embraced by the streets,

305

310
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, and at something at one point

311
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: in my life, I did stuff, you know, I did

312
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, you know what I'm saying, because

313
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: of a connection that I had and the trusted that

314
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: they had for me. You know, on that level, you

315
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: just get introduced to it because it's it's there, it's

316
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: readily available for you. And I did a lot of stuff,

317
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, but I never liked I never glorified it,

318
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: and I never thought it was fly. That's why I

319
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: said the money part for me, it's like it was

320
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but it just it just it

321
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: wasn't this. It wasn't the breakfast club. It wasn't lights,

322
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: camera action, it wasn't go time. It was just like

323
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: sky boxes and bottles and you know, we was popping

324
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: Chris like all that mob. It wasn't the right it

325
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: wasn't seen in the right way though, Like even when

326
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: Mitche had it was like I didn't want to be

327
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: in a crowd. I wanted I wanted to be liked,

328
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, Like we went to jay Z show and

329
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: jay Z still on the stage and was doing like

330
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: this and it was all in the crowd. I was like,

331
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm in the wrong spot in my spot, like what's up?

332
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: So it was it was like that um because I

333
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: was just on my grind and uh. I went through

334
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: a couple of people, man my man Sadik, shout out

335
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: Sadik and Philly Sadiq did Black Friday to put beans on.

336
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: That's the that's the guy that took me to puff.

337
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: I was doing my my little rap thing. I had

338
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,320

339
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: over like fifty different beats, and um, I was doing

340
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: that for everybody whoever I could that knew somebody, and

343
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I climbed. That's how I climbed the ladder and Sadiq

344
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,400

Speaker 1: it was Damon. Biggs was in there um at the time.

347
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: And then it went to like it was about to

348
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: go like the Jay and it was Puff. It was

349
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: the last two and we went to Puff first, and

350
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: Puff shut everything down. Hope wouldn't let you leave the room,

351
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: not at all, especially being not at all. Know why

352
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: didn't it work with Diddy? Um, why didn't it work

353
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: with Diddy? Well, let me get that, nah man, because

354
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: you know I do I make those like like like

355
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: like like like like people make excuses. That's easy. It

356
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: wasn't that, man. It was I lost that first deal

357
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: because the homies everything caught up to to to to

358
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: them at that point. So, I mean, these dudes were

359
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: multime millionaires, you know, like who know the dudes that

360
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: I was with we I took them. We went all

361
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: the way to puff okay, so it was funding everything

362
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: and you know, fast got involved and it got ugly.

363
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: So they came and we had a dissolved this situation.

364
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: It was it just did he yeah, and this is

365
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: right mind you this is like not too long, like

366
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: just the shine stuff. So in his mind he running

367
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: from everything. It feels like he's not about to be

368
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: shout out what I'm saying. Hey man, smart smart man,

369
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: you know. And um, we was right there on like

370
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: the customer like album, and uh, it just didn't work. Man.

371
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of stuff happened, man, I mean

372
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 1: like movie stuff with my with my people that I

373
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: was with. So it was a good thing that that

374
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: went the way it went. You know. Um, it was unfortunate,

375
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: but it was the greatest learning experience because after that,

376
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: I was back in the hood and grinding and struggling

377
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: and broke for like six years. So you signed with

378
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: it twice. Yeah, yeah. So the first time you signed

379
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: with him, you were on the CUSP and then all

380
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: that happened, and then you went back and you were

381
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: because nobody else was checking for the kids. I came

382
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: to New York and I went to every meeting with

383
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: everybody that was halfway important and they was like, Yo,

384
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: this is crazy, this is crazy, and did not sign me.

385
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: So when I was back in the hood, broke and

386
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: it was like it's dope is right here and you

387
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: know everybody and you could do this. And it was

388
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: like one day the phone run after six years and

389
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: it was Puff again. Wow, what did he want? He

393
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: like with two hundred thousand dollars out of buffers. I

394
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: had a half a million dollars deal back then. You

00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: I've done well, you know what I'm saying. And um,

399
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: we exhausted over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars out

400
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: of that budget. Puff let me have to joint without

401

Speaker 1: without owning me, without me owning him. That like all

402
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: the things from the past, and people let me go

403
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: Scott free. And we wasn't close at that time. You

407
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: and that wasn't even Puffed, Like Harve told me that

408
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,960

409
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,760

412
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: somewhere else without somebody saying, oh yeah, but did he

413
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: got so after all that time and I go back

447
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: in his office, and the curtains was closed. He was

Speaker 1: but he was really impressed. It was hard for him

452
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: to hold it back. And so everybody was quiet because

453
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I like killed the room. And then he was like

454
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,280

456
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: thing like this. He was like, yeah, okay, okay, I'm back.

457
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm back. And he literally said out that I'm back

458
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: because I guess I took him somewhere with my thing.

459
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: So he was like, look, that's one point five a

460
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: year for me to come to work every day and

461
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: look at myself and every I'm with game, I'm with

462
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: the most treacherous gangster gorilla get just like everybody just

463
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: broke down and just bust out, bust out in the

464
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: smiles because it's like that's puff, that's the that's what

465
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: he do. He put that stamp on who he is.

466
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: And he's you know, he's a genius marketing. And it

467
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: was like, yo, this is this may be a good. Wow,

468
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm not only want my phone. I don't know, so

469
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: I tell everybody else, throw him in the river. Throw

470
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: your phone's in the late. So he said it, man,

471
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: and we were just like, man, let's let's rock with

472
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: this guy. You know, we're coming from where we're coming

473
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: from and we're trying to turn our lives around, so

474
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: let's do it. And we rock with him, and you know,

475
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean everything was good. We that was something that

476
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: we messed up. So I'm not blaming Puff, you know,

477
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: for my career, nothing like that. And then the second

478
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: time around, it was just like the timing of it all.

479
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: It was just in the scope, you know, I can't

480
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: say that they were the most involved. You know, like

481
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: when nobody coming out to you know, like Jay Grant

482
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: come to my session. You know, I'm now so he's

483
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: given me music. Nobody was doing that, you know. So

484
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: basically I was with Puff every day. We was more

485
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: close like brothers than like his artist. So like whatever

486
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: he needed, I was there for him. You know. When

487
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: it came like the same damn time verse and I

488
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: wrote that and yeah, and that was like you, like,

489
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: who wrote that? I saw you when you tweeted verse.

490
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: I saw when you tweeted, like, Yo, what puff just

491
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: did to that even gonna make you quit everything you're

492
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: doing or go harder. And that was the thing. And

493
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: when I wrote it, he didn't um, he didn't. He

494
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: didn't want it at first because he said that he

495
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: does want to intimidate people and he doesn't want to

496
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: come off like two braggadocious. He definitely made your real

497
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: it was two over the top. Yeah, and he said

498
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: it that. He was like, man, I don't know if

499
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if people are gonna take

500
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: this the right way by me saying it, because it's

501
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: all true. And I was like, yo, that's crazy. So

502
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: I wrote a new verse. You know what I'm saying.

503
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: I wrote a new verse no worse than the one

504
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: that he put out. Now, you wrote toned down, No, no, no,

505
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: I wrote I wrote not. I just wrote another one.

506
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: Wasn't toned down. I just it just wasn't. It wasn't

507
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: as in your face, you know. I just wrote another

508
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: one that was still crazy. Coming to his crib, pulled

509
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: up to the crib, and when I got to the

510
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: uh yet, we put the little studio on the crib.

511
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: So by time I got to the studio, he opened

512
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: the door. He was like, wait one second, and he

513
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: closed the door. He was in there recording the other verse.

514
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: And because he had recorded it, you know, and at

515
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: the time, I think his assistant Neil told him, like, Yo,

516
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: you bugging you gotta do this verse. When he started

517
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: saying it, it made all the sense in the world.

518
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't even ever give him the second verse.

519
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: I literally had it in my hand, so that at

520
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: the same damn con I can live your life in

521
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: my life. At the same damn time for my riding

522
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: out money that should buy your house money. I got

523
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: that I could buy more. Right, buy your house money.

524
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Now, for those six years that you had

525
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: to go back home, go back to Baltimore, what did

526
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: you do to make money? Um? Like, how were you surviving?

527
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: Ain't no money? No, it wasn't no money. It wasn't

528
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: no money in Baltimore. Like, it's only a couple of

529
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: ways and make some money, you know. So that's like

530
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: a problem. And I didn't want to do that. I

531
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: was just taking care of man, I was just blessed,

532
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: like you know, like the streets took care of me.

533
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: I was protected, you know, like I got fan like

534
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: my older brother was rich. You know what I'm saying. Um, okay,

535
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: so you basically I was took care of my homies

536
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: like they was in situations, you know, with the laws,

537
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: so they couldn't really like you know, a lot of

538
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: them got locked up, every last one of them. Got

539
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: every last person that I took to a bad boy

540
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: at that time, every last person got locked off. People

541
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: at home. Now it's ten years. People, my man did,

542
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: my man did a dime. He home. I got another

543
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: man on waiting for to come home. The other guys

544
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: we don't really care about. They did something. They did

545
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: they did they did no, no, no no, they did some stuff.

546
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: They did some stuff worse than that. They worse than that,

547
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: worse than that. Nah, like but on that level, yeah, man,

548
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, kid napping, you know, um,

549
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: murder two people in the crew, you know what I'm saying.

550
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: So when they get to that, it's like, dude, like

551
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: you we slept together, you know what I'm saying. You know,

552
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: not like that we but we slept like we we

553
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: grind and we stayed in hotel rooms in Jersey to

554
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: just drive over the bridge. They're going to New York

555
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: and hustle in the morning to try to get out dreams,

556
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: and y'all did that during that time. Did you feel

557
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: like you were going to give up music? Never? I

558
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: never ever felt like I was gonna give up nothing.

559
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm from the worst of the worst. My pops was

560
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: murdered when I was sixteen. What else kid equates to there?

561
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: You know, there's no equivalent. There's nothing you could do

562
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: to me. Nothing. You talk about balance a lot on

563
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: your album. You even got a record call balance is

564
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: good when you encourage brothers to get out the hood.

565
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people like to glorify the hood.

566
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: You're telling people to get out. Explain on that a

567
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: little bit, um. I mean, you can't help the hood

568
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: unless you get out. You know, I just went back

569
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: to the hood the other day, you know, I went

570
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: back to the project sixteen hundred Bruce Court, you know,

571
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: gil Mahomes project. You know what that is. You know

572
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: that's where they that's where they that's where they did

573
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: the thing to Freddie Gray. Yeah, I stood on them

574
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: blocks every day. You know what I'm saying with all

575
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: them kids, I wrapped on those corners to those kids.

576
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, when I first got my first deal and

577
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: I caught my old school through the twenties on, and

578
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: I came through the block out of sixty five. I

579
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: had a sixty five, not a mana ray, but I

580
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: forget what it was, right, but I had a sixty five.

581
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: It was clean. Came through kids running up to the car,

582
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, like I was that guy to those those

583
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: kids in those same projects where they did that to Freddie.

584
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: So I shot um. You know what, I think I

585
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: knew Freddie. I think he was just really young at

586
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: the time, because this is like six seven years ago.

587
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: So I think at the time he was one of

588
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: the kids that was just running around being you know,

589
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: I had to know him. There's no way I did

590
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: not know him, because I know autumn kids, you know.

591
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: And I just went back the other day and I

592
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: shot Ghetto Boy, you know, and it was almost like

593
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: a tribute to Freddie at the same time, and it

594
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: was just so so reflective of what happened to him

595
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: and those people that are still in that environment. Like

596
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: we shot one scene in the ladies house in the projects,

597
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: and it was like literally like yo, I remember sleeping

598
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: in these these play like what is this place? Like

599
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: we did it in places you can't come though, so

600
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it's like really showing these kids

601
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: like being visual inspiration, you know what I'm saying, and

602
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: they still it's the mentality because like even when I

603
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: walked up, it's like I got cranes and cameras and crew,

604
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: like it looked crazy. We got the projects lit. It's

605
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: like three hundred four hundred people out here. Everybody's coming out,

606
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: old people looking out their doors, like what's going on?

607
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? And for the first time,

608
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: it's something good, you know what I'm saying. And it's

609
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: still a mentality there that that it's still like a

610
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: trapped this you know there. So you know, I just

611
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: want to, you know, and embrace those people and show them,

612
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that, like, yo, you could

613
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: do what I'm doing. So getting out the hood, man,

614
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: somebody gotta make it out first to show people that

615
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: it's possible. Absolutely, situations like Freddy Gray, Raymond Martin, Mike

616
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: Brown to dance spire black Blood, um um you know

617
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: what they inspired Guy Money War. You know. Um, I

618
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: wrote the song War New Years. So that's how in

619
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: terms of being ahead, I was because the riots was

620
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: just like what a month and a half ago, almost

621
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: like maybe two months like in that frame. So I

622
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: wrote War, And if you look at the symbols like

623
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: on the television and if you look at the war video,

624
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: I put my pastor, who's Jamal Bryant, who was all

625
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: over CNN doing the riots, and I put the hood

626
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: the same blocks that the riots was on North Avenue

627
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: with a CVS when they was run up in the

628
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: in the right at the CVS all that West bottom

629
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: A where I'm from, you know. So Black Blood was

630
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: just another extension of all those emotions and all those feelings.

631
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: M Jay Grant actually brought me, um black Blood because

632
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: he felt like it would be an essential piece to

633
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: what I was already creating, you know. So it the

634
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: record was just awesome from the beginning, and then uh

635
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: isaiahra Shaw put his artistic piece on it and it

636
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: was like, all right, this is crazy. You say, black

637
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: blood make the grass grow in the ghetto. Um Man,

638
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: that to me, that was so metaphoric and just like

639
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: it was just like such a um, you know, such

640
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: an artistic thing to say. You know, I think I

641
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: think about the concrete rose, you know from Tupac when

642
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: I hear did black the black blood make the Grass

643
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: Grow in the ghetto is probably the only thing that

644
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: could grow a concrete a rose from concrete, you know

645
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's like almost the ingredients to the

646
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: concrete rose, you know what I'm saying. And um, yeah,

647
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: those lyrics was actually already on the song when I

648
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: got it. That black Blood make the Grass Grow in

649
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: the Ghetto, that was already on the record, So it

650
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: was I really thought the events of what we're seeing

651
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: over the past hill police brutality and stuffing inspired of

652
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: that record. I mean it had to, because who's who

653
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: writes that without seeing that? You know, you know, I

654
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: didn't personally write that. That bar that was in the

655
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: hook already, you know, Um huh kn't from overdose? Yeah,

656
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: shout out to him because that's crazy. And what's the

657
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: joint um guns on the table? Oh yeah, you killed

658
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: my papa back in eight back in ninety three, that's crazy.

659
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: I killed ninety six. So that was like, you know,

660
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: things were just fitting you know. But then War, I said, um,

661
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: God told me this movie or right itself, stay humble,

662
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: will be wise and let fooler refight itself. So really,

663
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: God money, War was like putting itself together. I wasn't.

664
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: I was just like getting pieces and it was just

665
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,760

00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: inspired by Freddie tray Vaughn Mike. You know what I'm saying,

Speaker 1: get murdered and be subject to all these things that

678
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: you could protect them from. You know what I'm saying,

679
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to raise your children as a rapper.

00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: critique that people can have because I keep on advancing.

716
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I actually liked my journey better than

717
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of other people who are more successful than me.

718
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta be honest with you. A lot

719
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: of people on their way down because they hit peaks.

720
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: You look, man, let's keep it, let's keep it a billion.

721
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm still elevating, you know. To me, that's the Mara thought.

722
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,880

Speaker 1: passing them like and they just they looking tired. You

724
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: gotta understand I was going to neck and neck with

725
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: Wayne when Wayne was dropping the hottest freestyles in the

726
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: world and the putting out. I was dropping the hottest

727
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: freestyles in the world. I just didn't have the world

728
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: to know it. Now when I go on Sway, it's

729
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: number one. This is that people are recognizing I did control.

730
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: Kendrick is like, yo, that's that's the best. No. Nobody

731
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: at the record station, at the at the radio station

732
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, so what do you think about Los's verse?

733
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: They mentioned everybody but me, and Kendrick's like nah and

734
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: Los because it's like, at some point, man, you just

735
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: gotta give it up. If Meek is like, yo, you've

736
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 1: been the nicest. He giving it up because we gotta

737
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: give it up to Meek. When when he threw the

738
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: intro or do something, it's like, you gotta give it up.

739
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: You can't what can you say the intro Meek Mill

740
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: in the club, let's stop talking. When Drake do with

741
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: Drake do you gotta give it up? So when I

742
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: saw Drake, he gave it up. These artists reach out

743
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: to you, like, let's work on something. Together. They don't.

744
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: They don't necessarily reach out. They don't necessarily reach out,

745
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because they're like, if he

746
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: get on at helping him because he gonna trump everybody.

747
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: I don't know what they think. Um, I just could

748
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: say that I do recognize in respect and appreciate the

749
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: competitive nature of the art form. Quote unquote that's from

750
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: fifty cent. Fifty cent talks about the competitive nature to

751
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: art form. I just had a conversation with fifty cent

752
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: the other day, by the way, too, that was really

753
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: really in depth because I did this is fifty but

754
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: um yeah, it's a it's a it's a it's a competition.

755
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: You know. Michael Jordan wasn't putting people on. You know

756
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He was putting on. So I don't

757
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: expect nobody to you know. That's why I like, I

758
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: don't feel like puff owed me nothing. He gave me chances.

759
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: You know, shucks. If it won't for that first shot

766
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: what it is. Like I'm learning, growing and I'm I'm

00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm coming for the for the I'm coming for the spot. Now.

768
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,360

Speaker 1: more than nobody and everybody said he was talking to um.

770
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: The thing is the way people perceive it. Um, the

771
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: conversation was with me. But um, anybody to know puff

774
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: started saying like yo, Like I'll be around him and

778
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: like that, I just be on deck. So like when

781
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: room and we were just talking about the industry and

782
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: just like my direction, like what he saw for me,

783
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, Um, it's like one of

784
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: the greatest time speeches ever because we was literally talking

785
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: and they chopped it a lot, but we were just

786
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: talking about like the direction of these dudes is going

787
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: in and where he saw me. And he's like, yo,

Speaker 1: I see you as somebody that I could like hand

789
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: the torch to. And I never felt like that about

790
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: an artist, you know, after you know, Biggie and you know,

791
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: he was just giving me such a high, you know, accolade,

792
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 1: and you know, he was just like, yo, check this out.

793
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: And then he started saying this this piece and he

794
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: just went into like, yo, you don't want to walk

795
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 1: with these roaches. And then and he's like, you gotta

796
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: walk with God, and you know, and that's the puff

797
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: and he putting on. But he knew I was recording

798
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: because I'm like so he went kept going in. I'm like,

799
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm like not even trying to talk because it's so epic.

800
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: So I had it. And then the next day he

801
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: was like, yo, you recorded that thing that I was.

802
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: I said, yeah. He said, send it to me. I

803
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: want to hear I just want to listen to it.

804
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: So I sent it to him and he played it

805
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: for French, of all people, shout out to my brother French.

806
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: He played it from French, and French played it for

807
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Ross and that's how it got on Ross's album because

808
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: it French was like, French is like the song maniac

809
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: like he like, so he saw it like being a

810
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: part of a record. And I was already using it

811
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 1: as something because I recorded because a bootleg at Hard

812
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: French seeing a whole vision for that thing, and um

813
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: he was working in with Ross, so it tied in,

814
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: you know. And um so people just thought like Diddy

815
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: was like getting out on me and going nut crazy

816
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: on me or something. I'm like, like, that's the whole

817
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: thing we do, like we I have. I have so

818
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: many things in my phone, Like I used one on

00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: my on my album that just came out when he

820
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: was like I ain't here to look all cool. I

821
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: already am cool. So he didn't go in the studio

822
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: and do that. Nah, that was off my phone. I

823
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: got whatever y'all need out there. I got committing but

824
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: this you know it's gonna cost you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

825
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: I got a lot of stuff that Puff say, man,

826
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: because he say that blue stuff that you want to

827
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: be able to go back and listen to. Like I

828
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: got stuff with me and Pharrell like how we come

829
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: up with records, you know, we go back and forth

830
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: and rap I got like twenty thirty minute things of

831
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: me and Pharrell just going back with a freestyle, Like

832
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: I just feel like that's classic something to have, you know,

833
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: I could you could use it at any time in life.

834
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: Even if Diddy was yelling at you. What do you

835
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: say back to Diddy? Nothing If that's the If that's

836
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: the thing that somebody's yelling at you, you might want

837
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: to just be listening and taking it in and not

838
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: being all in your feelings and all being mad and

839
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: really just get that halftime speech in. I mean, any

840
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, anybody that wants to motivate you. They can't

841
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: always just be on your good side or like what

842
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: does that change? Like change comes with devastation, you know,

843
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: and and and extreme discomfort. Change don't come with like

844
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 1: you being cool with the whole vibe. Like I feel

845
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: like your voice, like you can never change something about me,

846
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: But I feel like you could change a person because

847
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: you you might anti canna a something so much to

848
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: the point where a person, Yo, look what you're gonna

849
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: do and you just keep it in a thousand like

850
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: you're like no cut no cut is good and it's

851
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: a balance. So when you got like the extremely sweet

852
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: like I don't see you do a lot of disagreeing,

853
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. When you got that, then

854
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: you got that, it's like, Okay, I see what the

855
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: I see what the scale is. But that right there

856
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: make you say, it'll make you reevaluate. Well, let's talk

857
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: about that. Because I liked the I love the first

858
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: seven songs on your album Okay, but it seemed like

859
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: the last seven it's like, it's almost like you're doing

860
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: radio records. Is that what it felt like? The last seven?

861
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: It felt like the last seven was like, yeah, this

862
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: is for the label. Well you know what? It was

863
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: a couple did I did? Um like the tides dollar

864
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: signs one with them must be that? That was a

865
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: Jay Grant creation song. Yeah. I did four different versions

866
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: because I had to digress to the we. That was

867
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 1: an interesting record. Yeah. Um that that Let's see Can't

868
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: Fade Us was Can't fade this? That? That was it? Um?

869
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,479
Speaker 1: That was the radio one. I like confidence, that's tough,

870
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: confidences crazy dull. So you felt like you felt like

871
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: to be Honest was a radio record. To be honest

872
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: it's cool. I like, to be honest, cool, it's more

873
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: like camp fade Us the Tide Dollar signs one. And

874
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: because that's it, I don't really have no radio slave

875
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 1: with content wise, It's just you know, I was basically

876
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: like this. I was giving people like, uh, what's good

877
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: for you? What vegetable is good for you? Like anything green?

878
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: Like just like yeah, like, uh, broccoli in a Louis

879
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: Va tom box. You get to Louis Va tombox, You're like,

880
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, you open up, it's like yo, broccoli.

881
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: That was like slave because like it sounds like a

882
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: trap joint. But if you if you break down my lyrics,

883
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's a victim. The vindictive system been in

884
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: his dam. I've been thinking the whole the statement is

885
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: in like that. That's that's what I'm giving you. That's like,

886
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: you know, it just I wrapped it in and in

887
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: that because I felt like I didn't want to have

888
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: something that was so preachy and so slow. I felt

889
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: like I wanted something that has some pace and some aggression.

890
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: So that was just me trying to moderate and keep

891
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: like the people who aren't as a stute, you know

892
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, the people who don't have that attention

893
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: span to just sit there and listen through war and

894
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: God money, war and ghetto boys. Yeah, so that but

895
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: that's the thing. If I could please you with seven

896
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: songs and somebody else with seven then as long as

897
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: I didn't compromise the integrity of my message, then I'm gucci.

898
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: I felt like cam Faders was a little off from

899
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: the message of what I had, but it really fitting

900
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: the money. When you think about the just the money

901
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: of it in the time, you're just being caught up

902
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: in that. It's still fit, you know, and it's adult record.

903
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: It's Mustard and ty Dollar, like that's a no brainer

904
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: for a little commercial though. Yeah, I mean, hey, what's

905
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: wrong with being commercial? Though? I feel like everybody does that,

906
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: like everybody, But to my attribute, I've never had a

907
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: commercial record, like you know, I've never had radio and

908
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: none of that stuff. So it's it's it's still a

909
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: good thing to grow too. You know, you don't want

910
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: to get stuck where you just get boring and you

911
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: know you're just like dry. Like I love those kind

912
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: of records because it reminded me, beat wise of like

913
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: where a Millie was just with the snare with the

914
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: ki ki ki ki ki ki. That's a millie all day.

915
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: So when I first got the song, I just went crazy.

916
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: I went like one hundred miles an hour. And then

917
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: and people who like had to tell me, like Jazzy

918
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: Faye and Puff, like Jazzy Faye is one of my mentors,

919
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: Like he had to tell me, like, dude, it's not

920
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 1: about rapping. Because if that's the case, thing you already won.

921
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: It's not just about rapping. Think about people who like music,

922
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: who just want to dance. And then Puff was like, yo,

923
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: it's like who could dance to that? Like you're rapping

924
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: so fast, nobody could dance to that. And I didn't.

925
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. I was I was almost like

926
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: almost offended by that. And I'm like, yo, I'm like no,

927
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to kill the track because I don't want

928
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: somebody to say I did a commercial song. And my

929
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: bars was what, But that's not what it's about. When

930
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: you're making a song for people to have fun, the

931
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: only thing you should worry about is did they have fun?

932
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: Everything don't have to be a lyrical slaughter, you know,

933
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: And I'm just learning that. That's why Jay Biggie and

934
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: pocat Sol though, come on, Biggs man and still have

935
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: it bart so can Faders is still barred up. It's

936
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: still barred up, and I had to tone it down.

937
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: So imagine the other version, you know what I'm saying.

938
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's still a dope record. Man and confidence?

939
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: Who who is that record for? Man? What insecure, low

940
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: self esteem person did you have in your life that

941
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: you have to instill that confidence in them? I feel

942
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: like I feel like, you know, did this world needs

943
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: a confidence booster? The man. I see so many people

944
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: who are followers and don't have their own thing, you know.

945
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: I feel like, man, just have a little confidence and

946
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: maybe you'll be all right. Like I just see a

947
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: lot of people following, and we have a lack of

948
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 1: leadership right now, you know, in our community. So I'm

949
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: just trying to show people, man, how to just be

950
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: confident and get through. Like I said, guy, money war

951
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: wasn't for me. It was for all the things I

952
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: felt like we needed, you know, I felt like it

953
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: was necessary devices, you know that need to be implanted

954
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: into our communities, into our kids, and you know, the

955
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: youth especially, but even some of these older people that's

956
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: just stuck, you know, like my mom, Like I want

957
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: my mom to have confidence, Like I don't want you

958
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: to feel like you're too old to do nothing. Now, now,

959
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: my mom was chef, you know, but she used to

960
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: work for the city in Baltimore. Like now she's a

961
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: chef in LA. Like she used to cook for Tiger

962
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and his whole crew. Yeah,

963
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: go to his crib, cook like his personal chef. Yeah,

964
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: I put my mom, you know, I gave it a

965
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: whole Like, look, we are in LA. You can cook crazy.

966
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to culinary school. Let's get this, Let's get it.

967
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: Let's get a popping. Now she is chef and she

968
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: cooked for all this studios. I go to everybody order up.

969
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: She delivered the food like she getting it in. You

970
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, do you plan to go

971
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: on tour for this album? Of course? I. Look, I've

972
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 1: been going on tour for every CD I ever put out,

973
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: and I've been just dropped. I was just only drop

974
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: had ever dropped mixtapes. I've always been going on tour.

975
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: I always had a crazy core, you know, fan base,

976
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: and I've always been torn. So now that I'm on

977
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: a label, and Jay Grant is gonna make sure that

978
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: everything's okay, and ICM is gonna make sure I'm booked up.

979
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on tour. It's crazy now. Now we're

980
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna go, you know, across the pond and touch the

981
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: Londons and we gotta hit it everywhere now, So we

982
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 1: just gotta keep spreading a good word. What's the easiest

983
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: content for you to write about? Man, God, money, war?

984
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: The easiest thing for me to write about, the easiest

985
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: thing for me to write about, man, anything that's real

986
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: in my life. I have a hard time trying to

987
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: do scripted stuff and create stuff that's not real. It's

988
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: harder for me to make a record that everybody could

989
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: turn up to because like I don't even go to

990
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: clubs like that, you know what I'm saying. I pop

991
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: in and out. You know what I'm saying. I'm more low.

992
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: But you know, um, so it's probably easier for me

993
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: to write something with some substance. You know, it's easy

994
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: for me to write something deep, Like it's easier for

995
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: me to write something deep than it is for me

996
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: to write something more basic, you know. So that's that's

997
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to grow to as well by having

998
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: a two year old. Everything can't be so deep and elaborate,

999
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta break it down for them. So

1000
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: that taught me a lot with this album, you know,

1001
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: just talking to everybody, not missing nobody. You know what

1002
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: for your son's mother to be on the album, was

1003
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: that you asking her, Hey, you know what, I need

1004
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: you to come get on this tongue And was she like,

1005
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: come on, but I know you're gonna put me on

1006
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: the album. No, that's just man though. That's just like

1007
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: she's an artist and you know I don't have to

1008
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: be an artist. And you can tell her like, look

1009
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 1: isn't for you? She Um. You know, UM, I challenge

1010
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: anybody that um because like I don't like, I don't

1011
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: write her, I don't write her wraps. You know what

1012
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I know a lot of people, um, especially

1013
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: female since the beginning of female rap. You know, UM

1014
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: had help, you know, but like I don't help her

1015
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: with her stuff. You know, I helped her learn how

1016
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: to you know, construct bars and put stuff together. But um,

1017
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: she got some stuff that's about to come out that's cold.

1018
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And it's all about growing

1019
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: like she hadn't been rapping that long. You know. It's

1020
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: it's dudes, it can't rap, you know. And it's a

1021
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: couple of things that we did together with I felt

1022
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: like she had the better verse your baby mom. Would

1023
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: you respect her as the artist? Now? Yeah, I remember

1024
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: when she first I remember when she first started rapping

1025
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: on when she first started rapping, When she first started rapping,

1026
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: she I mean she couldn't rap it period, Like she

1027
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: couldn't rap like, but she wanted to rap. I guarantee you,

1028
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: I got any amount of money that she is one

1029
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: of the dopest female rappers. I got any amount of money.

1030
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: I bet you one hundred dollars. I bet you. I

1031
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: bet you too, I bet you. I bet you two

1032
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna

1033
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 1: personally send you. I'm gonna personally send you a record, right, Okay,

1034
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't write Now, Hold on, did you hear um

1035
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: Lipstick and Pistols what her CD? Yeah? Absolutely? Nut Yo,

1036
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: listen to me. Listen, that's why you're talking. If you

1037
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: if you heard the song Gorgeous, you would flip man.

1038
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: When she did gorgeous. First of all, it's a hip

1039
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: hop record, and it's so crazy. The swag of it

1040
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: is so ridiculous. Then it made me reassess why I'm

1041
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: doing so much stuff. This sounds so clubby. At the time,

1042
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: I was kind of all over the place. She did that.

1043
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: Now mind you, she was in the hotel a game,

1044
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, Wiz and around that. So Wiz got a

1045
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: more relaxed overall. He do some turn up, but he

1046
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: got a more like you know. And when she got

1047
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: into that whole essence, and she just really started to

1048
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: learn and embody what it was about, yo, she got

1049
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: really really dope. You know what. I'm not even going

1050
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 1: to this future because I am not. I never listened

1051
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: to her music. Yeah, but I just say that. But

1052
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: you heard her with Calia. I guarantee you I could

1053
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: play you something and respectfully, because you respect real music,

1054
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 1: you would dig it in. I do not write any

1055
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: of her bars. Let me hear a song, and I

1056
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: let you hear a song. What you're gonna tell me

1057
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: is this. You're gonna say you wrote that. That's what

1058

00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,560

00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: have to say she dope, like I don't have to

1065
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: pump her up like honestly, like I could hold everything down.

1066
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: I could write all her wraps if it like, think

1067
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: about it, think about the dynamics of it. I could

1068
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 1: write all her wraps and you could never speak like

1069
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: I could write her the craziest bars if you got to,

1070
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: if you got to go up against females, it ain't

1071
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: even fair Like I could do that, but I don't.

1072
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: So if I'm telling you she's dope and you're gonna

1073
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: like it, I promise you. And I know where it

1074
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: comes from. I told her, I said, you're not gonna

1075
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: get respect at first. You know, she used to get

1076
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: outfits made and all this stuff to go rap, and

1077
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, that's not I used to tell her

1078
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: she come on stage high heels and on. I said, yo,

1079
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,720
Speaker 1: you used to be a video model. You're not gonna

1080
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: get respect like that. That's why she don't sell sex.

1081
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: That's why when she rapped, like it's easy for her

1082
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: to have a million followers on Instagram, she got like

1083
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand, like two hundred thousand because she not

1084
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: with her out in the booty out. She got all

1085
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: that she had a first, but she trying to establish

1086
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: that respect. It comes with the hip hop community. She

1087
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: really got a love for the craft. And look, she'd

1088
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: be writing all night. I'm gonna let you here. She'd

1089
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: be writing all night and I don't be helping her,

1090
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: and I'd be hard on her. I'd be like, Nah,

1091
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: that's that's weak. How did you guys end up getting together?

Speaker 1: I'm gonna mat. I mean, did y'all meet in the

00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: five different times, and she tried to hit me with

00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: the hidsman, and every time I just swerved it. I

1116
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: if you just came get down here, I could pretend

1119
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: outfit on. So I came down there, and when she

1120
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: came this time, I said, this time, I swag it.

1121
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna act like I don't even care. I'm gonna

1122
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: act like I never meant you, never saw you in life.

1123
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: So she came in there and she walked in that

1124
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: joint and I gave it a five, like you give

1125
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: a dude. I was like, what's up? What's something up?

1126
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: And I walked out and then she she was interested

1127
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: in music, so that's what the meeting was about. So

1128
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: he called me back. Look, she's interested in doing music,

1129
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: you should help her. That would be great. So I

1130
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: ended up helping her with music, and now she got

1131
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: my son. I remember the news came out. I was like,

1132
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that shot the whole club up. Yeah,

1133
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: because a lot of people didn't even know. I remember

1134
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: when it came out and I was like, oh, congratulations,

1135
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: because I didn't even know y'all were dating. I was like, yeah,

1136
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what though, on some real stuff, man,

1137
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: you could look at a person and you can e

1138
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: gauge them from what you think. But she earned my

1139
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: respect in so many ways. Man. It was so many

1140
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: dudes on her heels, so many people, and it was

1141
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: like I seen her curve people. I seen her The

1142
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: phone calls never curved me. Well. In the beginning, it

1143
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: was like just like how how you cute, but were

1144
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: in the streets. You ain't getting the number. And that

1145
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: was dope, right because I was getting numbers like don't

1146
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: play so And another thing was we spent the whole

1147
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: year before she even let me get any like in

1148
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: the same bed, sleeping every night, nothing, every night nothing.

1149
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: Let's not put that out there now. We don't need

1150
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: to discourage girls from giving no listen, listen, but this

1151
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: is but this is what got my respect. Every night

1152
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: I felt like every night, I'm like, I'm gonna crack

1153
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: the night, I'm ana crack it. Nothing for a year

1154
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: straight after the year, we just had the craziest bond

1155
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: and we was tight and it was like, all right,

1156
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: come on, so yeah, I was just cuddling in bad

1157
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: We was cuddling in bed. But that every the booty

1158
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: kept me sane. And then it was just like one day,

1159
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, she had to bow down to a player

1160
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: greater than her. She had to bow down because I

1161
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: stuck in there, hung in there. Man. This is my

1162
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: final question. I don't think about this other day. You

1163
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: call yourself to God, as I do. So I'm wondering,

1164
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: do you think I'll call myself to God? Don't call

1165
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: yourself to God. No call myself king los Where did

1166
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: you get that? I've never heard that. I was like,

1167
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: maybe this is something somebody about. Man. Look they call

1168
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: they called me that every time. I don't call myself

1169
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: to God, but I do reflecting the God within myself.

1170
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: If I do you want to have something that's missing

1171
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: because that is empowered? Yes, yes, you post call yourself.

1172
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: I feel like that. I feel like that's missing. And

1173
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: it's like this, if you say that God is the

1174
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: father of Christ. If you could say that and then

1175
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: you say that we are children of God, I'm my

1176
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: father all day. Walk like them, talk like him, look

1177
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: like them. You know what I'm saying. So Genesis one

1178
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: twenty six is God pred a man in his image

1179
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: according to his likeness. So come on, man. And I

1180
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: think that's why people don't do godly things and don't

1181
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: be on that frequency because they don't really identify with

1182
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: it that that much. They put it over there, and

1183
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 1: then they put themselves in a smaller space. Of course

1184
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: we're smaller. We didn't create ourselves. But like you know,

1185
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: I just want to do things like you know, like

1186
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: how he did it, like he said, let that be light.

1187
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: That's why I can't nobody put darkness over me. Can't

1188
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: nobody tell me what I'm not gonna be or not do.

1189
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,439
Speaker 1: God said, let that be light, So he killed all

1190
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: that already. I'm gonna create just like he created, you

1191
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So yeah, pretty much that I

1192
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: like it. Man, that's the wars and stores right now.

1193
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,080

1197
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to sign a major. It's not always

1198
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: such a bad thing, you know. Everybody's always like independent.

1199
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: My man, King los Man, got money, wants stores right now.
