I was, 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.200 you know, like like when you guys, I missed the 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.920 days when and then I'm glad that these days have 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.760 kind of come back with wanapp before it was really 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.840 about interviews, when it was just you guys just shooting 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.560 the shit about your favorite fast food places across the country, 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.680 like but the collect but yeah, but like you know, 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.080 uh yeah, man, you're a legend bro, so you know 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.720 it's it's it's good to see you and you uh 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.880 you got a new album coming out, which I feel 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.320 like is way overdue. I know. It's like it's funny 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.359 for the people who like don't really understand how the 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.520 music business works, they're like, you know, like on my 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.720 sports side of things, it's like you're putting out an album, 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.040 but what And then for the people in the business 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:08.520 who get it, they're like, oh about time you put 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.320 out a damned album, man, what are you doing? Yeah. 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.960 I feel like this is something that first of all, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.560 I can only imagine how annoying and tedious it is 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.000 to deal with different teams of management and artists, and 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.959 you know, it's it's it's it's I know it's a process. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.480 It had to have been a process. When did you 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.280 kind of originally start putting everything together where you were like, okay, 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.640 this is an album situation it well, because it had 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.000 been it had come through like different ideas and and 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.760 and moments and iterations. This final iteration of what it 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.600 turned out to be was really like end of the 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.160 summer that I started thinking about it, and in an 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.160 early fall that I started sort of digging into it. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.000 But now that you mentioned that, yo, I didn't. I 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.440 didn't deal with any teams on this whole thing. Oh 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.600 that's why you want. Everyone on this project is indy. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:01.280 I don't have any there's no label clearing, like it's 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:05.160 a it's a great first album for me, because I 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.520 should I continue to go forward and do more. I'm 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.600 sure you're right, I'll have to deal with more fuckery, 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.640 right And in this case, it was like you might 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.880 deal with someone's right hand man, right right, right, right 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.640 right right, but you're not. You're not. I'm not dealing 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.520 with labels like things were just they were just done. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.839 I haven't even finished having all the business conversations yet 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.599 like I got to set up everyone splits and do 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.040 all the work. Everyone's just like, yeah, here's a verse, 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.960 let's go yeah, hey, and well, you know, for people 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.800 to don't realize, like it's a homage to your to 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.800 show you that that you came to Hot ninety seven 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:40.760 to originally do Real Late. Yeah, that's that's the whole 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.520 album theme was just I was I was stressing about 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.240 what to call it. I had like half of it done, 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.599 and I reached out to my boy Disco Vietnam, who 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.960 produced three songs on the project. He did the Flee 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.640 Lord Rock Marcy, he did the ghost Face Crime Apple 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.920 Jim Jones, and he did the second Generation Woo. And 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.000 I had set him a tech and I'm like, ah, 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.640 I really want to name because it's hard for me 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.760 to like get in the frame of mind to finishing 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.919 this whole thing and taking next steps when I don't 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:15.200 know what the project is called, right, And in like 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.160 thirty seconds, he was just like, why don't you call 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.520 it Real Late? I mean, that's kind of the show 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.599 you've been doing this whole time, which kind of is 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.560 the isn't that what this whole album really is? Right? 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.640 And then I was like, oh shit, and then I 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.720 realized I'm like, oh and for the people who most 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.720 people who will hear this album don't even know what 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.200 that radio show is, it will have a totally different 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.800 meaning for them, Like and then they'll see the album 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.640 cover and they'll see Late Night and they'll maybe start 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.320 putting together images. But for them it's not based on radio. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.239 But for the people who have it has a different meaning. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.240 Run through all the like give me all the all 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.240 the features, like who all you got on the album? 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.000 I mean you dropped three singles, you know, you've gotten 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.240 some crazy verses so far, But who all is on 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:59.680 the album? The intro is vel the wonder La Zone 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.479 the It's produced by DJ Skiz. The next joint styles 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:13.440 p Ransom and Dezza. Okay, yeah, they came through Super Hard, Westside, 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:19.840 gun Stain, Marcus Smart, Lee Lord and Stove God Cooks. Halways. 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.680 This is like a fun challenge for myself, by the way, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.760 Halways with Flee, Lord and Rock Marcy mind over matter, 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.480 which is I'm probably the most pleasantly surprised with how 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.800 many people I've given the record to mention this song, 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.039 because most of the people have told me they don't 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.919 even know the artists are, but they love the song. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:43.160 That's Jane Nis and Ito mind Over Matter, Next Chamber, 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.120 Metha Man, Ray Kwan, Willie the Kid, Mayhem Lorenz has 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:52.280 an interlude on there Midnight Sunday Rashid Chappelle, produced by 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.479 Buck Wild Buck. By the way, Buck did the Mayhem 0:06:54.520 --> 0:07:02.159 interlude as well. Nice the Oh, the ghost Face, Snake Eyes, 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:06.719 ghost Face, Crime Apple and and and Jim Jones, which 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:11.040 is fucking bananas in my opinion. Ghost ghosts will have you, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.200 ghost might my ghost might have you in the street. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.760 You might go want to do something you shouldn't do 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.080 when you hear ghost face. My favorite type of ghost face. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.480 You know it's it's it's it's reach your money and 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.200 the reach your hands in the register and take out 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:28.000 all the money ghost face. It's it's it's fucking hard. Uh. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:33.160 Wu Generation by second generation Wu, I want it all 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.800 Fly Anakin and Nicholas f And I haven't heard that. 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.080 I haven't heard Nicholas f in a while. I haven't 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.920 heard that name in a minute. Yeah, he's Nicholas f Is. Actually, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:48.240 can you have a record with Drake? Yeah? He wrote, No, No, 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.360 you're not tripping. He wrote that record. He wrote the 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:56.680 record with Drake and Wayne. He might he's on a 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.800 record I believe. Also, yeah, I think they have a 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.000 record together that was like on like the blogs back 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.360 in the day. Yeah, but he also wrote a Drake 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:08.120 record back at that time too. And yeah, dear homeboy 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.360 Sam Man, which is that your guy? You know? And 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.720 he's a he's an alien, Yeah, you know, he's an alien. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.720 He really if you listen to that verse, he like 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.800 takes you on a story. It's like it's like going 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.520 inside someone's brain and just listening to them think on 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.080 a record like He's it's a he's awesome. You know. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:31.960 We always get these albums uh that that that are compilations, right, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.120 and and you know, I think cal it is someone 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.560 who's done a good a good job of putting albums 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.800 together and then also at times maybe maybe not so 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.880 good of a job. You know. I mean, obviously it's 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.680 everything subjective, but how hard is it to do something 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:56.080 like this and make it cohesive? In this case, it 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:02.280 was very easy because as I picked artists who made sense, 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:09.760 so you're not trying to get one artist to agree 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.960 to make the record and then another artist on a 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.280 different song. Who's gonna not gonna pick anything similar to 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.120 what this other artist was feeling. So as a result, 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.440 so really like I was able to sort of use 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:30.319 my ear and have that work for all the artists 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.600 that were selected. If I had tried to get too crazy, 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.560 ultimately I would have had like this, this, this disconnect. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:44.800 The least connected record is probably the Homeboy sam Man record, 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.760 which is why I put it last. That's just stylistically, 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:53.120 it's just he's he's in his own back altogether. It's 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:54.760 not like I don't think you hear it and you go, 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.160 why is this year? But I think it's enough. You know. 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.400 My man Quartermain was to a rough of the album 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:02.920 and he was like, I don't know if this fits. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.600 And while I disagreed on some level and I wanted 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.800 on the album, I took his advice that it didn't 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.840 fit in the middle of the project and I ended 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.560 up moving in along and now I like where it is. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:16.920 But to me, Kevi, it's like, hopefully you know what 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.960 ends up coming across in this project is there are 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.280 people out there like, yeah, I can't fucking stand Rosenberg. 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.840 That guy sucks fuck him, Culture Vulture, piece of shit. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.080 But you know, what. He put a nice album together. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.320 He's got a good ear. This ship is cohesive, like 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.080 because that's that's honestly, that's my biggest source of pride 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.400 in it is that I just think it's like, this 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.280 does not sound like a soundtrack where you're like, why 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.080 is that song there? I think it you would believe 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.679 these artists were in some level of communication or right 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.240 right right, right right. Well, that's that's I think that's 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.200 the hardest part about doing the project like this is 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.160 like usually these types of projects, we love songs off 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.600 of them, but to like just press playing right out 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.040 like you know, there's there's like back in the day, 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.120 there was like the sound bombings, and there was there. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.640 There has been great examples of that, but I feel 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.040 like lately we haven't really had a shining example, especially 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.760 when it comes to you know, the Boom bab shit. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.520 I kind of look at every Static selected album is 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.040 a cohesive piece, you know, but he's the producer on them, 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:20.840 and he doesn't He's probably the best at putting albums 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.360 together that flow. And you know, again Static is an artist. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.079 He actually is making the music. But as far as 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:32.719 just all which is both more impressive and also so a, 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.360 he's much more talented than me, of course, but also 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.360 he's got an easier task in terms of forming it 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.600 because it's his music. Yeah, he's making the beats, so 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.800 he knows. Yeah exactly. Yeah, yeah, you mentioned. I was 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.880 gonna say you mentioned the culture vulture thing. Do you 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.240 did you see the meme that they posted on Twitter? 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.400 And it was me and you and Adam twenty two 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.280 and Vlad. Someone posted like a meme of all four 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.920 of our photos and they said this is hip hop media. 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:05.559 Yeah yoo. That was fucking hilarious. They got the worst 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.800 photo of me ever. It was. I was like, oh, 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.440 God's worst. Not only was not only were was it 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.480 the idea of the photo, but then a bad picture 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.920 on top of it. My main issue that I took 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.079 with that was just like, I know there are people 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.199 who don't like me. I know I've said things that 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:28.200 people hold on to and rather thinking of something that 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.200 you may have done that they liked, or ten times 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:32.719 when that you did something they may have liked, they 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.960 remember that thing that made them not like you. But 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.120 like it was just such a lazy assessment, yo, Like 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:44.080 that was just of course I'll take you and I 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.120 being thrown in a category together because they're actually legitimate 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.560 similarities you could point to right right, right, right right, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.360 And I don't know what their relationships are, so I 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.000 don't want to put you in a bad spot, but 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.480 where you'd get to comparing us to Adam twenty two 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.080 and Vlad and I get Adam twenty two and Vlad 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.319 going together because they get people to say some semi incriminating, 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.600 crazy shit like I get the whole op thing, but 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.160 you and I like two kind of DJ nerds right 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.720 right well, respectful of the music and culture. I just 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.480 don't That was such to me. That was a lazy 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.520 but very funny. It was funny. I just loved everyone 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.599 like was like defending it. I feel like everyone was 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.240 defending you and me on Twitter. It was so funny. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.600 I was like, we got we got some defense for sure, 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.920 ye not these guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was pretty funny. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.360 It was pretty funny. Man. How's uh? You know it's 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.480 crazy because for people who don't know, man, you legitimately 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.679 do two full radio shows every day, which is extremely impressive, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.920 and it also has to be very taxing for your bandwidth, 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.360 Like how how how hard is that? Man? Because I know, 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.360 just doing a four hour morning show alone's got to 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.880 you know, at the end of it. You know, for 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.679 people think that we just sit in front of a mic, 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.600 but it is, you know, we we have to be 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.079 mentally in the game, you know what I mean. And 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.080 you got to do that twice. How do you deal 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:07.720 with that? Man? Well, it is tiring and the bandwidth 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.000 thing is hard, and by the end of it you 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:17.560 can feel very finished. But I don't know. I try 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.960 to go to bed relatively early. I try to be 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.840 mostly healthy, right, you know, I'm not a big drugs 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.040 or alcohol guy. But although definitely during COVID it definitely 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.240 picked my my alcohol on the weekend definitely picked up, 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.520 of course, But you know, I'm very stone sober during 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.960 the week. I try to eat my salads all week long. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.680 I try to catch naps when I can. You know, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.000 I have ups and downs when it comes to the gym, 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.320 but you know, and listen. I also it's one of 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.520 the times, like I'm I'm I'm only able to do 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.840 both shows because I'm not the first mic on either show. True, 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:56.280 so I can sit back at times. And it's also 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.840 a good way to learn when to shut up, you know, 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:05.360 because that was a big part of radio that I 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:10.560 didn't understand for a really long time. I sit back 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.320 now way more than I used to. So like you 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.040 might hear a segment on with Ebro and Laura in 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:20.560 the morning where I don't say that much. Now I 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.560 sort of learned to have the spots where like, they 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.080 don't need my voice here, It's not gonna what am 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.440 I adding? So like, you know, Ebro and Laura are 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.240 talking about something that that they're both making an impact 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.440 on it. It's it's really effective. Am I going to 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.120 add to this? Or in this moment if I if 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.280 I add, is it at best not going to add 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.360 that much or at worst it's going to be like, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:45.920 shut up, white boy, we didn't even need your take 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.840 on this. That's fair. So there and there's and obviously 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.440 there are conversations where that is true too. And you know, 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.200 I already had the time where I was like everyone 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.240 needs to hear my voice. Yes, I mean you have. 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.920 You're you're a very opinionated guy. Man, I'm an opinionated guy, 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.760 and I am the first person to try to teach 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:09.120 white people sometimes guess what, shut up? People don't need 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:14.800 to hear your voice fuck up. It's not every day. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.360 Sometimes I really want it. I'm like, no, no, I 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.240 can contribute. This is somewhat useful, trust me, you know, 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.160 Like we have certain conversations, I'm like, well, you know, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.240 when we had our COVID conversations and vaccine conversations, I 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.760 was quick away and be like, listen, I'm here to 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.680 tell people of the world if this is a plot 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.640 to hurt black people, which is a reasonable thought to have, right, 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.240 if that is true. I just want you to know 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:43.600 all the white people I know are taking it right. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.000 We're all we're all in it together. Yeah, on this one. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.120 So there, my voice was valuable. I can tell you 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.520 my experience. But in some situations, you know, and sometimes 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.760 as an ally my voice is useful. Sometimes it's not, 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.080 you know. And then on the case show, yo, soon 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:00.600 as we get in the subject and I'm like, I 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.640 just don't have a ton to contribute here, and I 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.680 don't want to be the person who's talking to how 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:08.240 my voice heard. I already have a lot of time 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.439 to talk right right right, you know. And then sometimes 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:11.960 they tell me, oh, we need to hear from you more, 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.280 you know, like, hey, we know you're not that into baseball. 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.440 But some of our audience, you're the reason they're here, 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.320 and if you don't talk about baseball, they're really not 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.520 going to give a fuck, right, So finding that balance 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.040 can be can be hard, but shit, sometimes you just 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:26.760 need to sit back and rest and well and then 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.159 you're also you also had a brief stint as the 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.920 twenty four to seven champion. You know what I mean. 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.920 I mean, I mean you call it brief, you know, brief, 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.840 classic media hate, you know, just tearing me down. You know, 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.280 you are like DJ Vlado. Thank you, thank you, thank you, 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.080 thank you. I'll take it shout out to Flad No. 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.640 But it's crazy because you know, I know how big 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.640 of a fan you are of wrestling and how inter 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:55.879 I mean, I give you credit over everyone, over any rapper, 0:17:55.920 --> 0:18:01.000 over everyone, as far as bringing wrestling into the hip 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:05.600 hop space period, I was first. No, you were first. First. 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.480 I promise you were first, and promise I was first. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.879 One hundred I love and you know, Willa is the 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.520 real deal. This is the real deal. Gun is the 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.879 real deal. Conway one hundred people. I don't want a 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.240 lot of people love hip hop, but no, you were first. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.400 I may have not been, but I was definitely the first. Yeah, 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.240 and winning that title was it's gotta be. That's gotta be, 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.919 Like that might be. I can only imagine out of 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.120 everything you've done in your career, that has to be 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.919 like top two or three things like the fact you 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:42.679 held a title in the WWE that is insane to 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:46.920 say out loud. I know, no, and it's silly. It's 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:48.919 it's like that that for people who don't know, like 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.120 that title, the twenty four to seven titles, it's sort 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.480 of a comedic. It's funny. Yeah, like Gronk Gronk had 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.640 in however, yeah, like ROBN cows had it and they've 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.040 had you know, silly other broad casters get it for 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:05.240 two seconds, but like it does have a lineage though 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.879 it is documented, like it is written down. People know 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.560 who's had it. And And the craziest part about that 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.520 was that I thought it was gonna maybe be a thing. 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.600 I'd get an opportunity at the pay per view beforehand, 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.760 and then things were crazy and they're talk gonna happen. 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.600 I was like, okay, cool, and I'm like I don't 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.080 think this is ever gonna happen, to be honest with you, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.640 so whatever, and then I get to the Royal Rumble 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.119 kickoff show and we're talking and they're like, hey, so 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.159 we're not gonna have time to get it on the 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.720 kickoff show. In my mind, I'm kind of relieved because 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.199 I'm like, I don't really know how'm gonna do this. 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.639 So I was like, Okay, cool, cool, cool, But I 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.679 think it's gonna happen during the main show. And I 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:45.760 was like, during the Royal Rumble pay per view, Right, 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.040 this is the pin that even if you're like a 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.919 lapsed fan, like like you watch it, you tune in 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.320 because yeah, because you like to watch the Royal Rumble. Yeah, watch, 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:56.520 like if you're even like you used to be a 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.159 wrestling fan or like now you're all indie, but you 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.560 like to on WW everyone watches the Rumble if you 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.480 have any ounce of love for wrestling in your blood. 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:09.040 So I was like, oh okay, and I really came 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.200 to have a new appreciation. I thought. I thought, being 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.439 as big a fan as I am and I know 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.640 you're a big fan like that, I already had all 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.800 the respect and appreciation that one could possibly have for 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:28.080 these people, And in having to do this basic thing, 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:37.000 the amount thought and practice, like I met that day practicing. 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.280 By the way, I still fucked it up. I did 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.399 the job, but like I did not do it the 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.600 way I was exactly supposed to on either account of 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.000 any of the things I did. And to think about 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.440 that they do it live all the time, like you 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.879 have one shot. Yeah, you got an idea. If you 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.080 fuck it up once, it's that's that's your only time 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.240 you get. Yeah. And and by the way, Our Truth 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:03.080 made very to me. He was like, if you botch 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:08.960 the pin, I'm kicking out. Wow. I've never actually said 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:10.600 that I through before. There you gotta give an exclusive 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:13.520 if I He was like, if you botch this, I'm 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.240 kicking out. You ain't getting the belt. You're not getting it. 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:17.560 You're just gonna And I was like all right.

If I can't 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:25.840 pull it off, that's what you should do, right. Dude 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:30.480 is so strong, Our Truth could have done anything he wanted. 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.600 Of course, he could have kicked out live back to 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.399 the desk. I mean, like he is, he's an athlete. 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.280 You know, you know how old our Truth is. I 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.040
