And 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.760 so now fast forward to be able to consider these 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.639 people my peers, you know what I'm saying, To be 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.280 able to you know, like really rock with them and 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.320 they rock with me, and you know, it's just a 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.000 surreal feeling. So yeah, you know that you guys kill 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.200 that interview. You know I killed it. And so when 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.680 when I when I was there, man and just seeing 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.799 them two together, you know, you. 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:33.520 Know what the funny part about that is, ah, it 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.320 reminded me of me a compone a little bit, because like, 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.720 no matter how much me a compone will be beefing 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.840 or whatever, whatever. As soon as we get together in 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.000 the same room, we just started laughing. Like when Snoop said, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.880 Snoop said, I left the studio because Drake came to 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:46.280 the studio. 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.160 I was like, you know, you're the only person. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.120 Say that, like I left the studio because Drake. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.520 Well, I understand that, because I don't understand that. Okay, okay, okay. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.240 So it's Dre really like that studio. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.080 He's well, let me let me put this. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:05.880 Let me put this to a correct way. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.600 Dre is a master at his craft, and he expects 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.640 a certain level of perfection if you understand what that means. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:19.960 And and and he we call him the guillotine because yeah, yeah. 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:20.400 Because. 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.560 We call him the guillotine because there's levels to it. 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:27.240 You know what I'm saying. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.960 When he like you, when he likes you and he's 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.279 and he's working with you, then he'll just be like, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:33.920 I don't believe you. 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.000 You know what I'm saying, you can do. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:35.440 Better than that. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.560 Like he like he'll say stuff like that, which is 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.240 kind of like a bunch of the gut anyway. But 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.880 I've seen him like turn the music down, and I've 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.279 seen him get up and leave the room. When somebody 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.479 is like not performing the way he wants to write, 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.880 you know what I'm saying. So so I understand, like 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.039 he says he don't like everything. He know, he don't 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.160 like nothing, you know what I'm saying, Like he likes 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.320 absolutely nothing. So so understood what Snoop said that. Yo, 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:00.680 I just want to leave the room, you know what 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.080 I'm saying, because I didn't want him to come in 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.800 there and say yes and that he wasn't instead of 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.040 going there and just tell they start being a guillotine 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:10.680 and start telling niggas here. 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.839 Like he don't like none of it. But it's dope? Though? 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.400 Is that? Is that because you know the one thing 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:23.719 that I listen me being a vocalist, Nothing that comes 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.119 out of that camp you guys are always sound so clear. 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.920 But is it a sacrifice for that, like because because. 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.720 You've got to do it fifteen million times? No? 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.640 I mean, once you understand what he's looking for, did 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.200 you kind of go there already? 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:39.320 Okay? You know what I'm saying. 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.400 Everybody comes in, Everybody kind of designs their style and 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.960 their lyrics and all that stuff before they get in 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.480 that room and they tune in to the way they 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.839 like it, but when you get it in front of 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.400 doctor Dre, he tunes it up in different frequencies. Yeah, 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.039 he's looking for something else. He don't care about the 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.920 style and all that, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.599 that's part of it, but it's certain. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.520 It's certain frequencies that you got to hit. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.680 And so that's talking about with music, talking about with vocals, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.200 talk about with lyric content. All of that stuff has 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.919 to be at an optimum level. So so once you 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.279 understand that about him, then you start just understanding like 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.960 how to get there. And sometimes you know, he'll, you know, 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.520 he'll he'll go try something different because you don't want 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.200 to start sounding the same all the time, you know 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.800 what I'm saying. But that's how it is, you know. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.360 But when you rise to that level and you hit 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.720 those marks, what comes out is a legacy, you know 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.120 what I'm saying, Like the longevity of the records, the 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.719 staying power of old records. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:37.800 There's something about it. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.000 But the real question is how many records do you 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.680 have with Dre that are in the stash that probably 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.840 we never will have no idea because how much of 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.040 a perfectioncy is. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.440 I have no idea. You got albums, Yeah, he's got what. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:50.719 Drake got a vault. 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.919 They got a vault and it's basically like like folder 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.720 after folder after folder after folder of songs that like 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.760 we everybody in this room would go absolutely ape shit 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.840 over these songs. But Dre is like, you know what 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.760 I'm saying, it's cool. Like motherfuckers, you would never think 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.200 he worked with he's working with him, and he's like, 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:12.720 he's like, why why don't. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:12.960 You put these? 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.640 Like you you got like seventeen albums, twenty albums. He's like, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.720 ass cool, you know what I'm saying. And he don't 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.720 do shit for money, you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.360 he's got to feel it. He gotta believe it. He 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.160 gotta feel it, you know what I'm saying. And that's 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.200 when those records come out, you know. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:34.360 So let's take it to the beginning.

To be fair, the artist was fucking with us. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.480 It was the staff, it was it was the people. 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.040 That's my opinion is, that's my thing is I always 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:31.840 felt the West Coast. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.800 We would go down from us, we would go to 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.439 New York and we would go out.

He was like, 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.080 you're gonna take the train by yourself. Yeah, get there, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.720 you know what I'm saying. So so I remember drinking forties, 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.680 you know, on the stool, chilling outside, going to. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.800 Niggas blocks, you know what I'm saying. That was love. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.040 And when we're getting them buildings, it. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:55.720 Was like they were it was like it became like 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.199 a it became like a friendly competition. 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:01.000 Like everything from the East. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.640 Coast offer was to get all the big budgets and 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:03.920 all that stuff, and they would give. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.319 Us the scraps and leftovers. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.480 So we's making miracles out of absolutely nothing. 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:09.040 You know what I'm saying. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.560 That we were just really banging on the fact that 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.200 like people were feeling the music, you know what I'm saying. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.679 Like when I first came out. I didn't sound like 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.640 a traditional West Coast artists. No, you were very lirical, right, 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:21.360 People thought I. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:22.880 Was from New York. Yes, I did you know. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:34.800 La underground scene that crew everybody, you guys, And for. 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.720 Lack of a better term, at that time, we didn't 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.440 really understand that there's lyricists just as much as on 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.680 the East Coast as even more because you know, the 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.080 forefront people were in w A and other than ice 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.480 Cube and mc wren. It wasn't really like you know, 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:50.679 the lyrical thing. 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.480 But but I think, I think what was happening was 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.160 we had to find our own identity. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.880 There was it was after the right after the death. 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.840 Road gfunk Era, and we had to find our own identity, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:05.480 meaning that my graduating class, like it was Crooked Eye, 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.240 it was me Ras, it was Severee rest in peace man, 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.280 you know what I mean? And and uh you know 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.680 it was it was like a club called Unity where 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.760 all of us would go and like you know, that's 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:18.600 what we first saw. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.079 Wu Tang performed like Bigger B was a. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.319 And R my A and R in loud Wow, and 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.600 he did a club called Unity, and so he had 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.560 the plug for every artist in all the offices. He 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.839 would bring him out there to do shows. So then 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.160 it became a theme like okay, so I want to 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.240 open up at unity and that's where all of all 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.000 of us used to like cut our teeth and get 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.760 in front of the crowds and be able to build our audience. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:42.760 But that's where it started. 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.120 So so let me ask him bouncing around a little bit. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.160 It's been known, right, it's been known that lyricists people 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.760 that's really really really lyricists, right, they get the short 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.480 end of the stick. But then at some point it 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.880 was like doctor Dre started messing with lyricists like like 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.920 you you know, you know, so on and so forth 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.600 and Marshall you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, other 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.560 than that, because I believe they used to call a backpack, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.480 right yeah, blackrap back background. Right, So when did when 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.880 did a transition from going Because we had re search 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.800 on here the other day, right, and I'm bugging off 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.559 of EMC search because he's like, he's like, yeah, we 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.920 didn't want to take commercials, and I was like, yeah, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.960 generation fucked up, yeah, like why do you want extra money? 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.559 But back then it was frowned upon. That was considered 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.679 selling out. So when was it that backpack hip hop 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.160 started to merge with commercial hip hop or not commercial 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.920 hip hop, global hip hop to forty hip hop, and 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.720 then they made this marriage like you know. 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.440 Like you like you, you want. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.120 Very much benefited off of you know, your affiliation with that. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.960 But when did that happen? Like I think I think once. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.440 Once corporate America started putting millions and millions of dollars 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.520 into hip hop, right, it wasn't frowned upon anymore because 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.360 I think when you look at like mc hammer, nobody 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:05.439 gives in mc hammer the flowers he deserves. And if 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.080 you think about it, he got a lot of shit 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.280 for doing exactly what everybody's doing next. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:10.360 Right now, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.520 And so he was ahead of his time in that 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:16.680 aspect as a businessman. But once corporate America started putting 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.920 a lot of money in into it, I think that 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.560 became the focus. It used to be about Okay, who 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.640 got style, who got craft, who got skilled? Then it 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.640 was like okay, who got millions? Who got cars? Who 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.280 got houses? You know what I'm saying. And then once 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.960 that started kind of merging and becoming you know, like 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.240 murking that you know, dirty in the waters a little bit. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:37.680 I think people started. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.040 You know, I don't have to I don't have to 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.600 have skill as long as I'm successful and I have money. 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.600 Everybody was a little I don't have to, I don't have. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:45.920 To begin everybody. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.960 The backpack thing didn't come to like the super underground, 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.400 the Ruckus era where they started to really label people Backpa. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:54.800 You said everybody was a lyricist. I don't want to 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.400 say everybody was a liberal. That was the aspiration everyone 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:58.040 about this. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.920 Everybody know the deals were made. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.240 Whoever was the illis lyricist Jay Big come on, big 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:05.880 l everybody. 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.080 Got you gotta look at easy. Easy wasn't considered the 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:09.400 lyricists busy. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.400 No, not everybody. But I'm saying that. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:16.000 Most artists, mostly MC's, wanted to be lyricists caras ones 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.880 like it was from the beginning the backpack thing. To 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:23.160 attach that to lyricism started with the Ruckus Underground, that underground. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.760 I'm gonna tell you some real ship. This is real 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.120 ship for me, this is my own ship. When my 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.960 first album, Worried Port is lyric cool, very cool, all. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.960 That kid no bitness came to my conference man, no. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.240 Women got you here today. I'm not sure about that, sir. 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.920 Like you know, look, tell you something. 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.400 I used to do shows in Germany and all the 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.960 women will come and their sneakers will be the worst 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:53.360 sneakers I've ever seen. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.840 Like they was just stopping, like somebody just stop.

The 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.120 Firm was first. That's why I made Drake. 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:30.840 I made Drake take his. 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:37.600 His was first. Man, let me take you something. When 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.480 Roster sent me the clip, but I don't know what 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:41.280 time you send the clip. 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.479 You send the clip to the group chat right and 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.160 for the sleep. So I was so happy. 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.240 I woke up at four o'clock in the morning and 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.199 I sent it to that I said, I finally got 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.600 Dre to say that he shouldn't have said the Firm flop. 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:56.640 In my mind because. 0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.400 He just said I he said yes, but my mind 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:00.840 he said it. 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.360 Like yeah, because. 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.280 That that album, that Firm, and that's the first time 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.240 You're right, I got to see East Coasters and West 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.600 And you gotta remember that that album came out so 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.000 dope because God bless, it was after Big and Tupac. Yeah, 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.159 you know what I'm saying, So everybody the smoke was 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:19.840 in the air and everybody was trying to put it 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:20.320 back together. 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.560 So that album single handedly didn't Dre do the one 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.119 joint that caress and now it was the East West 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.680 Coast one right right when he launched Aftermath, he did 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:30.119 a joint. 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.120 It might have been on that Aftermath Presents album. Yeah, yeah, 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:34.040 not sure, I think so. 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.160 I think that's when when you start to see him 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.560 like dabbling something having like Kris one and I forget. 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.160 Who a couple other who be real? 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.920 Be real? And what you drink? 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.359 I'm gonna drink of sprits. I take some forty two man, Okay, 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:47.880 forty two. 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.479 Okay, goddamn god, damn forty two. Look, let me tell 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.240 you something. Let me tell you something. We've been doing 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.480 this for years. So my favorite thing to do is 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.639 to check the artists drink order. Whenever I see somebody 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.680 order two different things, you ordered gin and. 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.240 Then think it is rat iron. 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:09.000 Good. Yes, So lets let's talk about the alcoholics and 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:11.680 you guys relationship in the beginning. So, how did y'all 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:17.840 link up? I linked up with school. No, there was 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:18.280 a group. 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.240 There was a there was a group of producers called 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:25.679 three sixty James Broadway was the producer for King T, 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.560 and so I was in the same area. I got 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.520 introduced to Broadway through a guy named Top. Top was 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.120 actually going to act as a manager. He was managing 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.399 Volume ten a couple other guys, and he was like, Yo, 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:40.159 I want to I want to work with you. So 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.960 he took me to Broadway. Broadway introduced me to King T. 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:45.040 King T introduced me to the Alcoholics. 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.679 Wow, and then and then how did y'all develop the relationship? 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.280 I was just those were the first cast that I 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.840 was off the street named the Alcoholics at the time. Yes, okay, 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:55.880 well given back then. 0:22:56.200 --> 0:23:00.199 Back then King T created the group and so and 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.800 so that's when that's when I got introduced to them. 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:06.080 And they was the first artist that I knew that 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:08.760 had real record deals, you know, because I was I 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.280 was just off the block at that time. And so 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:13.600 when I started hanging out with them, I was like 0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.439 learning how to write sixteens learning how to write, you know. 0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.520 I was just in the lab kind of like honing 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.679 my craft with them. And so from there, I you know, 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.320 I would just go everywhere with him, and I would 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:25.720 do I would do ship like I would go to 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:28.320 the swap meet and make my own alcoholic T shirts 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:29.640 if we had a show, and. 0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:32.000 Then I would make I do I make gas mask bongs? 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:32.520 I used to. 0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:35.919 I used to get a bong and before they started 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:39.240 making them, I would get like like shipping attached the 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:42.200 hose to the mad gas mask and then take hits 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.440 on stage and fucking it was crazy. 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:46.520 Yeah, yeah, we were doing. 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.840 A lot that King T was already yeah you know 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:53.320 OG at that time, so it must have been like 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:54.400 crazy to roll with him. 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.040 So it was like everybody has a OG and King 0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:58.240 T is ours. 0:23:58.160 --> 0:23:58.800 You know what I'm saying. 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.840 And I still kicking with King T very closely to 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:05.359 this day.

It's like 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.040 if you don't know who I am, this is what's happening. 0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:35.720 You know what I'm saying like they are actually spelling something, right, Yeah, 0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:37.440 a lot of people, do you know what I'm saying. 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:42.280 Yeah, I mean it evolves, you know, from from the 0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:44.399 time like when you see what dove C was doing 0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:49.200 on a smoke toward video, which is infamous, and then 0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:52.359 it's it's just changed as you know, as as as 0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.040 as the kids grow up and they put their own 0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.200 little twist on it. So now there's a whole lot 0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:57.560 of you know, feet going. 0:25:57.320 --> 0:25:58.960 Out in side ways and you know what I'm saying, 0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:01.480 the elbowl is moving a little differently, right, but I 0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:03.320 mean it's still you know, you know what you're looking 0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:10.480 at when you see it, right, Okay, So I gotta 0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:15.040 ask you, Okay, I'm going actually to be as freely 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:20.160 as you can. When it's Drake and Kendrick thing first started. 0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:23.800 Drake is the biggest artist in the world. I believe 0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:26.320 Kendrick took a shot first, right, I believe for mother 0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:28.439 fuck the Big Three. I mean, this is not this 0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:30.680 is mag me. But Kendrick has been known for this. 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:32.120 No, but they've been going back and forth. 0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.360 No. No, but remember Kendrick went at the whole New York 0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:36.640 At one point he was like He's like, I'm Frank White, 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:39.320 I'm gonna kick in New York right, Like course this 0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:42.399 whole controversy, but this time, this is something kind of 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:48.199 really really, really really different. Right. Did you understand what 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:50.840 Kendrick was doing from the beginning or this was something 0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:54.960 that after you saw it, he was like, I mean, look, look, dude, 0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:55.680 you have to look. 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.000 You have to take a step back first, because you 0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:00.840 don't know what's happening behind the scenes. Always something happening 0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:04.360 behind the scenes that we're not aware of. It's spilled 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.240 over into something else. But here's what I will say 0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:12.760 about that. I think Kendrick Lamar is a very special individual. 0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:16.199 I think he is a deep thinker. I think he 0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:21.640 is a big part of what is unifying and energizing 0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:26.360 the West Coast right now. And I think I think 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:31.520 he was severely underestimated. And uh, when you look at 0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:35.919 the parable of David and Goliath and you see, you 0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:40.000 know somebody who's you know, very you know, dismissive or 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:43.159 very arrogant or very you know, feeling like you know, 0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:46.800 because Drake wasn't talking the way he's talking now at 0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:49.240 the beginning. But when Kendrick wasn't saying nothing. You know 0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:50.840 what I'm saying. It was just like, you know, it 0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.439 was very funny. It was very poking holes. And he 0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:57.000 did the Tupac thing, Yeah, doing the doing the two 0:27:57.119 --> 0:28:01.240 poc Ai thing. You know, you talk about feeling disrespect, 0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.000 I mean the whole coast. We love Tupac. You know 0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:06.119 what I'm saying. The world loved Tupac. You know what 0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:06.560 I'm saying. 0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:10.200 You know what, I've never asked that question. So when 0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:15.359 Drake sampled, I want to say sampled a right. So 0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:19.159 Kendrick's line was, you think the coast is gonna let 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.840 you disrespect poligga? I think that Oakland show might be 0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:25.439 your last stop. You're telling me that that's how people 0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:26.120 really took it. 0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:27.040 Like he took. 0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:30.520 He took some liberties with that. And look, dude, I 0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:34.360 got no dog in this fight. But but but but yeah, 0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:36.199 but but the West Coast is where I'm at, and 0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:37.720 that's what's up, you know what I'm saying. And so 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:40.880 Kendrick is is definitely ruling the pack, you know what 0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:43.160 I'm saying. And he's he's and he's he's setting the 0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:47.520 tone and so you know, yeah, I just think that 0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:53.719 what we're seeing now is yeah, yeah, what we're seeing 0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:58.080 now is the repercussions of of of stepping on somebody 0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:01.040 that you shouldn't have stepped to. You know what I'm saying, 0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:03.720 Like they're not even in the same class. You know, 0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:06.560 in my opinion, Drake should have just put out a 0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:09.800 fucking massive hit for the women and went on about 0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:10.360 his business. 0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:11.480 You know what I'm saying. 0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:15.120 You're saying like, yeah, yeah, after after the first shot, 0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:17.200 you know what I'm saying. But Pride is a motherfucker. 0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:18.800 He goos a motherfucker. He kept going. 0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:22.920 At one point, I was coming downstairs smoke weed and 0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.200 it was like another Drake records drop and I was like, okay, 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:29.400 And I felt at that point, at that time, I 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.160 felt Drake was being the bully. This before Kendrick had 0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:34.440 dropped anything. I think a lot of people forget that time. 0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:37.000 Remember when he just kept dropping him and they both 0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:44.560 did that. Christler three hundred looked like a bigley until Yeah, 0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:46.840 you know what I'm saying, you see that motherfucker. I'm 0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:49.680 not gonna lie as I knew Kendrick was ill. I 0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:52.000 knew Kendrick was the man. I knew Kendrick can hold 0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.880 it down. I didn't know Kendrick.

I had to hear it again. 0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:56.920 I had to hear it again. When I heard it 0:30:56.960 --> 0:30:59.000 the second and the third time, then I was like, oh, Okay, 0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:02.520 he's enjoying the moment, but he's enjoying it in his way. 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:06.040 Yeah, I mean, you look, I don't hang around with Kendrick. 0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:07.880 I'm not even gonna claim to be in his circle. 0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:11.120 Circle is tight, I know, I know, you know, my 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:13.400 my uh my, my family works with him.

And and 0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:33.480 and he don't he's inclusive. When you see some cast 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:36.080 stick that's young and they come up and they just 0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:39.480 dismiss everybody, they gonna fucking they fuck the fuck that nigga, 0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:42.760 fuck him, fuck everybody's me and all this ship. And 0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:44.560 I think that's what we saw, you know what I'm saying, 0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.720 Like like Drake, Drake was you know, damn near number 0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:49.920 one for decade if more, you. 0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:50.360 Know what I'm saying. 0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:52.880 And and he felt untouchable. 0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:56.920 So it's it's very it's very it's very dope to 0:31:56.960 --> 0:32:01.960 see you know, Kendrick come to his own and I'm pretty. 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.200 Sure he was pushed in a lot of ways from 0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:07.120 that situation. But to see what he turned into and 0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:09.400 to see what he represents and what he means to 0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:12.200 us on the cars, it's fantastic. It's do you know 0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:14.200 what the crazy shit is? I'm bouncing around, but I'm 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:15.000 gonna make it makes sense. 0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:15.280 Yeah. 0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:19.560 But one about favorite shows on TV is a show 0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:22.240 called The Sha. Right. The only thing that's missing in 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.240 the Sha is on My Homegirl Lena with I always 0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:27.240 tell her, I'm like, yo, man, you got the only 0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:31.440 city of Chicago without load of Latinos? Right, Like, yo, bro, 0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:34.480 I'm fucking Latino. Like, I can't just look at Chicago 0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:40.680 without again. One thing about me being on the West Coast, 0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:42.160 and obviously I've been going to the West Coast since 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:44.920 nineteenninety seven. When I would go to Snoop shows on 0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:48.440 your show, I wouldn't see you your show's difference, Okay, 0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:50.520 I mean to me, just put dazz and corrupt. I 0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:53.120 wouldn't see a lot of Latinos. You know what changed 0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:55.680 it was Nipsey Hustle. Nippy Hustle. I went to a 0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:57.480 Nipty hustle. I snuck into another. But I think I 0:32:57.520 --> 0:32:58.760 told you this, Oh, I said it on the show. 0:32:58.880 --> 0:33:01.320 I went to a Nipsey Hustle concerts. I didn't hit him. 0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:03.480 I wanted to pay to get in. I wanted to look. 0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:05.560 I wanted to see how this West Coast shit feel, 0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:07.680 like you know what I'm saying without being Norri right, 0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:11.720 And it was the first time I seemed but I 0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:14.280 didn't know what I was seeing. Snoop explained to me 0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.120 that you saw that again on stage. I didn't know 0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:24.600 that Kendrick from all these gangs together, Like, how remarkable. 0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:25.160 Is that that? That was? 0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:29.120 That was the tipping point right when he did that 0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:34.560 Pop our concert and Dre went out there and all 0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:38.840 them neighborhoods came out there see stage, because we. 0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:41.360 Want you to explain this in it's entity in depth. 0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:44.680 Us on the East Coast we looking thinking these are 0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:47.720 artists that although they might be artists, but we didn't 0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:51.400 we're not understanding that they represent different gags. There was 0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:52.239 some artists up there. 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.920 There were some artists, but there was some very important 0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:58.040 people to the street up there. I usually don't really 0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:01.680 be standing next to each other, right, And I think 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:05.320 it just really it really set the tone for what's 0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:10.040 what's coming next. So everybody saw that shit and was like, oh, oh, 0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:12.040 we ain't had this before in the West. 0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:13.200 That's what I'm trying to say. 0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:16.160 We ain't had this before, maybe slightly during the peace treaty. 0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:17.320 No, it be pieces. 0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:21.360 It be pieces of the West coming together, still excluding 0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:23.600 some of these parts because the past things that happened, 0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:27.319 or just like that's just how things have been. But 0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:30.480 when that happened, a lot of shit got pushed to 0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:33.040 the side and was like, Okay, you know what, let's 0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:38.160 unite around this w Let's unite around this genius that 0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:42.600 is this doing this phenomenal work. And you know, look, 0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:49.200 we can beef internally, but to the rest of the world, unified, like, 0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:50.959 we haven't had that, you know what I'm saying. 0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.000 I loved that about y'all. Iced T brought that up 0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:55.400 to me, I think said, listen, he said, you know, 0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:59.160 us West Coast people got beef because you in the industry. Motherfucker. Yeah, 0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:02.359 He's like, do you think about it? Our beasts be between us. 0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:04.200 And that was so mad that I see because he 0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:04.680 was right. 0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:08.000 It's like word like if they beefing, if you want 0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:10.319 an industry, the average person, you say, the average. 0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.960 Person, like like like that California love for for for 0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:15.000 black Bird, that ships. 0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:17.279 It's just like it's just like you when your parents 0:35:17.400 --> 0:35:19.280 used to say, don't act crazy in front of company. 0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:22.480 You know what I'm saying, That's just what it is. 0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:25.040 It's like sometimes that's just spill over into the street. 0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:28.200 But for the most for the most part, like especially now, 0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:31.880 Cat's got a different agenda. We want to see the 0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:34.640 w go, you know what I'm saying. And and and 0:35:34.680 --> 0:35:37.319 that's why you see Q coming. That's why you see 0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:39.719 you know Snoop Dogg coming, That's why I'm coming, you know. 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:45.359 And what's also do I. 0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:47.359 Think that I don't think people are mentioning as much 0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:50.319 about Kendrick his movement that he brought North Cali into 0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:53.279 the fold. It's not just LA, it's all of California. 0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:54.400 What are you saying about it? 0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:57.160 Like the Bay Area and those artists just considered the 0:35:57.160 --> 0:35:59.800 North area the South. 0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:10.320 Okay together geographics. Yeah I know that, kid, Yeah, you know, 0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:11.920 but but you're absolutely correct. 0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:15.200 Even with the sound and the album, there's a song 0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.480 it's like, to me, does the Sonic that's the Bay 0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:18.160 Area right there? 0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:19.399 But that's all West Coast. 0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:21.760 You just when people say West Coast, they just think. 0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:22.440 Of l A. 0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:25.879 You think of Southton, you know what I'm saying, Long 0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:29.640 Beach like, like that's not just the coast goes all 0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:31.759 the way up to Canada. So when you when you 0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:33.480 look at, when you look to when you look at 0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:36.239 you know the bay and what they represent like and 0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:40.920 then it's always been separate there too, Southern California Northern California, 0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:44.440 two different planets. But now it's just thing like the 0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:48.400 W everybody, the W everybody and and and it feels 0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:50.960 dope to be able to see you know, e forty 0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:54.239 do the opening for the pop up, and it's like 0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:56.400 the inclusion of it. It just feels so we just 0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:57.359 we're feeling. 0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.399 Strong right now because I felt like, you know, I'm 0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:02.919 sorry bounce over the place, but like like New York, 0:37:03.760 --> 0:37:07.000 we've always had Long Island, and we've always had Yonkers 0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:11.040 and Jersey, which technically isn't New York, but it is 0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:13.560 New York, you understand I'm saying. So I felt like 0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:15.879 that moment for y'all, like it was like every part 0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:19.080 of the coast and not only that, I mean I 0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.080 was going to say up the state, but not only that. Yeah, 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.879 run the coast together. That's what's crazy. You know what's 0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:27.760 crazy about West Coast culture. If you actually pay attention, 0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:30.560 you guys don't got to promote to the South or 0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:32.840 the East at all. You guys could just promote in 0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:36.040 the West and you'll be good. Well, here's the thing, Sacramento. 0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:39.160 The number Remember when according to the numbers, remember when 0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:41.880 hip hop was super regional. When you look at the 0:37:41.920 --> 0:37:44.440 no limit, I'm going to say, you look at and 0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:45.359 you look at and you. 0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:48.120 Look at uh and you look at a cash money 0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:51.160 and then and then even here, you know, in in 0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:53.400 in Miami, you you look at the sound that was 0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:57.000 coming out of here, that that graduated from DJ Magic 0:37:57.080 --> 0:38:00.719 Mike and into you know, Luke in two Live Crew, 0:38:01.000 --> 0:38:03.360 in the Poison Clan, into all these other things that 0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:05.800 was coming. They had their own sound, so it was regional. 0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:10.760 So once the West Coast you know, had their sound 0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:14.200 and it didn't we didn't feel like we needed to 0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:18.759 copy anyone. Right, So when the South rose, and you know, 0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:21.640 after after the outcast said the South got something to say, 0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:24.920 and then absolutely they came and dominated everything in the 0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:26.440 industry and they had their sound. 0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:28.239 We been fucked up ever since he said that. 0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:37.680 I think it's dope because it gave us time to 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:42.200 kind of like see where things needed to go. And 0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:46.120 I just liked the fact that we're not changing our sound, 0:38:46.680 --> 0:38:49.120 we just doing it at a at a different pace, 0:38:49.360 --> 0:38:50.040 you know what I'm saying. 0:38:50.160 --> 0:38:51.799 So let me let me, let me, let me ask you. 0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:55.920 There was three different eras of West Coast Rain right 0:38:56.520 --> 0:39:00.680 that literally had me scared. One literally one when I 0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:02.520 heard it straight out of Compton. I always say this. 0:39:02.640 --> 0:39:03.839 I always though it straight out of content. 0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:05.160 It was a jail. I don't know why. 0:39:05.680 --> 0:39:06.000 I don't know. 0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:08.000 I was, yeah, because the way they were describe it 0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:09.840 straight up the comment, I'm like, I don't want a 0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:12.840 good k lock up there, right, I was, obviously. 0:39:14.320 --> 0:39:19.040 Yeah.

But the 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:28.240 good thing about it is it's not just the young generation, 0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:29.800 it's not just the middle generation. 0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:32.920 It's for Dre Snoop for you to be. 0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:36.920 Dropping like like how how how good does that feel? 0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:39.000 Because and you know what's good?

And I don't think anybody's ever promoted better 0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:33.240 than Connor McGregor. 0:49:35.840 --> 0:49:38.840 But what I think is important that you're saying, is 0:49:38.880 --> 0:49:41.320 that sorry, Sorry, he's brought in people. 0:49:41.440 --> 0:49:43.239 It's not just relying on him in his brain. 0:49:44.080 --> 0:49:47.359 You don't have boxing people or MMA people working on record. 0:49:47.400 --> 0:49:48.640 Shit, he's going in. 0:49:48.719 --> 0:49:51.160 He's cherry picking, you know, the people who are qualified 0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:53.560 to do the work. And we made sure we made 0:49:53.560 --> 0:49:56.120 sure that was what that was happening as well. But 0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:57.919 again we knew it was gonna be a slow burn. 0:49:58.040 --> 0:49:59.719 I haven't put out a record in a long time. 0:50:00.120 --> 0:50:02.360 I gotta put records out. I got to let people 0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:05.799 know that I'm coming out again. In a room in 0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:08.520 a world full of noise like this. It's a lot, 0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:11.040 a lot of music that comes out every single day, 0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:14.480 every single day, you know, and I think a lot 0:50:14.480 --> 0:50:18.400 of I think the lane is really crowded, you know, 0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:21.319 so just staying for right now. 0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:25.320 For I think the later's crowded for for uh like 0:50:25.440 --> 0:50:28.839 generic like you know that younger racing. But I'm looking 0:50:28.840 --> 0:50:31.279 at bust of rhymes like he's he's fucking. 0:50:30.960 --> 0:50:33.960 Every other fucking weekend. I'm like rest like you know. 0:50:33.920 --> 0:50:35.960 What I'm saying, Just think about it. Look at college 0:50:36.160 --> 0:50:41.279 Joe like you Gray Snoop, Like I feel like to 0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:42.879 say it like this but I feel like it's our 0:50:42.960 --> 0:50:47.000 time again, but it's it's it's to our to us, 0:50:47.080 --> 0:50:51.200 like meaning like we don't have to snap and pop 0:50:51.200 --> 0:50:58.279 and all that other dumb I was like, get that 0:50:58.360 --> 0:51:08.360 together because I feel like for the first time, like 0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:11.279 it feels like the fans are growing up with us, 0:51:11.320 --> 0:51:14.799 Like our fans is probably our age and it's now 0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:18.000 they want our ship, like you know, I like growing up. 0:51:18.040 --> 0:51:19.120 I think the saving grace. 0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:22.200 I think the saving grace of what we're experiencing now 0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:25.080 and while we're able to speak directly to our audience 0:51:25.200 --> 0:51:27.520 is the convenience of being able to get to the 0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:31.080 music faster. You don't have to invest time and go 0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:34.160 to a record store or possibly be sold out or 0:51:34.480 --> 0:51:38.000 a physical copy. It's like you can point click download 0:51:38.040 --> 0:51:41.080 have it right there. So you know, the people who 0:51:41.160 --> 0:51:43.120 grew up to our music have families, they got their 0:51:43.160 --> 0:51:45.800 own lives. Now they get win all the things you 0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:47.880 needs to do. Is they hear that is happening and 0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:50.760 they can get it. I think that's that's the magic 0:51:50.800 --> 0:51:51.919 of what we're dealing with now. 0:51:52.080 --> 0:51:56.560 Yeah, that was crazy. Access Now the global reach the 0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:57.239 way it is now. 0:51:57.400 --> 0:51:59.200 You remember when you had to you had to go 0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:02.280 to London. You had to physically bring your record to London, 0:52:02.520 --> 0:52:04.680 like there was no m P three, there was no. 0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:10.480 You're bringing white labels over there, white labels yet press. 0:52:10.719 --> 0:52:12.960 Yeah, yes, that was horrible. 0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:15.239 Times it was great, but it was great. 0:52:15.320 --> 0:52:20.600 Like it's horrible if you think about it. 0:52:19.239 --> 0:52:22.000 Let me finish it. It was horrible because you physically 0:52:22.040 --> 0:52:24.759 had to bring your record and it was so inconvenient, 0:52:24.800 --> 0:52:27.960 but the process was so beautiful because just like like 0:52:28.120 --> 0:52:31.640 you look at these kids right now, if they ever 0:52:31.719 --> 0:52:35.040 go to Europe and they perform over their vocals, they'll 0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:38.200 get bulled off, but but they gotta you gotta experience that, 0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:41.960 like not really because that's what their audience is. Accustomers. 0:52:41.960 --> 0:52:45.160 They have your right to generate the generation. 0:52:45.440 --> 0:52:48.319 But I just sound like the old about to say 0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:51.840 in my day, and I'm like, I like, man, but 0:52:52.160 --> 0:52:54.520 our day, that our day, like we. 0:52:57.160 --> 0:52:58.080 Knew better, we. 0:52:58.040 --> 0:53:02.320 Knew I don't remember one time I performed in Europe 0:53:02.680 --> 0:53:04.520 and I did like an hour and a half and 0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:06.840 I had did an hour the day before, and it 0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:11.040 was like it was like not there was like good 0:53:11.160 --> 0:53:14.160 but not enough, not enough, but it was like not enough, 0:53:14.200 --> 0:53:16.360 and I was like, really, it's like, we wanted more records, 0:53:16.520 --> 0:53:18.960 so we added more records, and these records happened to 0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:21.600 be the only two records that had vocals in it. It 0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:24.040 was I believe in it. Ironically, from the Firm album, 0:53:24.360 --> 0:53:27.520 we never had an instrumental and I remember they waited 0:53:27.719 --> 0:53:31.040 waited for me to get up this awesome job, but 0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:32.640 you had the vocals in there, and I was like, 0:53:32.640 --> 0:53:39.800 oh at attention, like a yeah, oh man, what is 0:53:39.840 --> 0:53:40.959 your favorite era hip hop? 0:53:42.719 --> 0:53:44.680 My favorite era of hip hop. 0:53:49.800 --> 0:53:50.239 I have? 0:53:50.760 --> 0:53:58.680 It goes from like Public Enemy L eighty e PMD 0:53:59.239 --> 0:54:06.319 rock Him, Uh, Poor Righteous Teachers, Uh, you know. 0:54:08.400 --> 0:54:09.000 Gang Star. 0:54:10.400 --> 0:54:15.799 You know though that that that era into you know, 0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:21.920 the Death Row, you know n w A that that 0:54:22.440 --> 0:54:24.280 up up until the end. You know what I'm saying before, 0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:26.400 right up before I got in that was like my 0:54:26.560 --> 0:54:29.160 That was like my college. That was my school. That 0:54:29.320 --> 0:54:32.360 was like the things I was listening to. I remember 0:54:32.400 --> 0:54:35.520 going and buying Cypress Hills first album with the red cover. 0:54:36.040 --> 0:54:38.560 I remember, you know what I'm saying, going and listening 0:54:38.640 --> 0:54:43.800 to you know, like musical my friends are driving around 0:54:43.880 --> 0:54:45.879 and listening to what came out and knowing the word 0:54:45.920 --> 0:54:48.640 for words and like going through the whole album from 0:54:48.640 --> 0:54:51.680 top to bottom to find the song that you fuck 0:54:51.760 --> 0:54:55.160 with the most, and ain't everybody consistently consistently consensus was 0:54:55.160 --> 0:54:55.520 the same. 0:54:56.040 --> 0:54:58.319 You know that that I think, you know. 0:54:58.480 --> 0:55:02.239 Like like the like the late eighties, you know what 0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:05.960 I'm saying, into the early two thousands or early nineties 0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:08.879 was was my favorite era. I respect that. 0:55:09.360 --> 0:55:11.200 I think it's kind of a blended thing, you know 0:55:11.239 --> 0:55:13.719 what I'm saying, because I don't know. 0:55:13.760 --> 0:55:16.320 There's different graduating every generation. 0:55:16.680 --> 0:55:19.080 Every ten years there's a new graduating class, That's the 0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:21.480 way I feel, you know, and then you see new 0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:24.520 artists come out, some some stick around, some fall off. 0:55:24.960 --> 0:55:28.520 But every ten years you can look and see, like 0:55:28.640 --> 0:55:30.360 if you cut down the tree, you see the rings, 0:55:30.400 --> 0:55:34.439 you see, Yeah, you see who was doing what when right. 0:55:35.040 --> 0:55:37.080 It's just going to be interesting to see how that 0:55:37.080 --> 0:55:38.080 plays out now. 0:55:38.000 --> 0:55:39.719 Because I don't see them. 0:55:40.239 --> 0:55:42.359 I don't see the longevity of the artists that are 0:55:42.400 --> 0:55:45.640 coming out now, like the majority, correct, I don't see 0:55:45.680 --> 0:55:49.560 ten years from now what they what their sounds are 0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:51.239 going to be like, or if they're even going to 0:55:51.320 --> 0:55:54.720 be remembered, because the tension span is so so fast 0:55:54.760 --> 0:55:55.160 right now. 0:55:56.040 --> 0:55:59.920 It's very true flowers man.

And so I think that from 1:00:28.320 --> 1:00:33.200 that standpoint, it gave me a clear path to be myself. 1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:35.520 I wouldn't say ahead of my time, but just be 1:00:35.800 --> 1:00:37.360 an individual, you know what I'm saying. 1:00:37.520 --> 1:00:40.560 Like, but that's the definition of ahead of our time 1:00:40.800 --> 1:00:42.640 as you saying something that people are catching on. 1:00:42.560 --> 1:00:44.440 To now, right, you know what I mean? But I 1:00:44.800 --> 1:00:45.640 do know you're being humble. 1:00:45.800 --> 1:00:48.520 I'm taking it for that, But I also I also 1:00:48.600 --> 1:00:51.360 think that, you know, it could have been a lot 1:00:51.960 --> 1:00:55.960 a lot different if if the if the people I 1:00:56.000 --> 1:00:58.959 was working with saw the same vision that I had 1:00:59.040 --> 1:01:01.240 and pushed a little hard, you know what I'm saying. 1:01:01.320 --> 1:01:05.120 It was like yeah, yeah, loud and like any other 1:01:05.200 --> 1:01:10.400 even the major labels, like like yeah, there was always 1:01:10.480 --> 1:01:12.440 people in the building that had that looked at it 1:01:12.480 --> 1:01:15.480 one way, and then they took what you said and 1:01:15.560 --> 1:01:18.160 took bits and pieces of it to passify you. But 1:01:18.240 --> 1:01:20.360 really they just gonna do what they want to do anyway, 1:01:20.800 --> 1:01:23.720 you know what I'm saying. So so yeah, we've had 1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:27.400 a lot of commercial success with major labels, but the 1:01:28.080 --> 1:01:31.600 impact that I want, the impact that that will make. 1:01:31.720 --> 1:01:34.000 But you know, when you got that itch, you know 1:01:34.040 --> 1:01:35.800 what I'm saying, you want to scratch it with you know, 1:01:35.880 --> 1:01:37.640 like I know what it's gonna take to get that. 1:01:38.640 --> 1:01:40.840 I feel like I have that now, you know what 1:01:40.880 --> 1:01:41.240 I'm saying. 1:01:41.280 --> 1:01:41.720 I have it. 1:01:41.760 --> 1:01:44.200 I like, I feel, I smell it, I could see it, 1:01:44.480 --> 1:01:47.000 you know what I'm saying. Like, like this album, to me, 1:01:49.040 --> 1:01:52.080 it feels like this is the album that I've been 1:01:52.080 --> 1:01:53.560 trying to make since the beginning. 1:01:54.160 --> 1:01:55.520 You know what they say, They say you make your 1:01:55.520 --> 1:01:58.520 best album when you broke and when you don't need it. Yeah, yeah, 1:02:00.560 --> 1:02:03.120 you know, I feel like that's that's the thing is 1:02:03.160 --> 1:02:05.560 like you probably don't need it, but you know you 1:02:05.600 --> 1:02:07.880 want to feed your fans because I. 1:02:07.800 --> 1:02:08.680 Feel like I owe them. 1:02:08.960 --> 1:02:11.160 Yeah, I feel like I owe my fans, And that's 1:02:11.200 --> 1:02:14.040 something real. Like I think I'm glad you said that 1:02:14.160 --> 1:02:17.760 because you know, I you know, I could have easily 1:02:17.840 --> 1:02:20.680 just stopped and just been like, that's it, you know 1:02:20.680 --> 1:02:23.080 what I'm saying, Because it's very hard to make a 1:02:23.120 --> 1:02:24.480 record right now, you. 1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:25.600 Know what I'm saying. 1:02:25.920 --> 1:02:28.200 Yeah, Yeah, many when you're not mentally in it, when 1:02:28.200 --> 1:02:30.840 you're just rhyming to be rhyming and just putting it 1:02:30.920 --> 1:02:32.840 out to see if it sticks to the wall. And 1:02:32.880 --> 1:02:35.800 then when you really believe in something that's different. You 1:02:35.840 --> 1:02:38.080 know what I'm saying. I believe in this record, Like 1:02:38.360 --> 1:02:42.240 I mean every fucking word I say, from the beginning 1:02:42.280 --> 1:02:44.600 to the fucking end of this shit, every fucking single 1:02:44.640 --> 1:02:48.040 word has been thought about and calculated, and I have 1:02:48.240 --> 1:02:48.960 now I have the. 1:02:48.960 --> 1:02:51.520 Creative space and the freedom to do that.

They're selling all their assets from from that 1:10:39.520 --> 1:10:41.960 side of things. So I was like, you know, I 1:10:42.560 --> 1:10:47.680 think I think as a betting man, I think that 1:10:47.840 --> 1:10:50.400 I don't need the title pet my Riot to do it. 1:10:50.479 --> 1:10:52.720 I think if I do it on my own and 1:10:52.840 --> 1:10:55.360 create something totally different, the audience is going to kind 1:10:55.360 --> 1:10:57.599 of know what it is. I don't think it needs 1:10:57.680 --> 1:11:01.960 to be that title, right, So you know, if I 1:11:01.960 --> 1:11:04.559 if I'm betting on myself, then yeah, I think that 1:11:04.680 --> 1:11:08.040 you know, we can create something a hybrid of that 1:11:08.160 --> 1:11:11.000 show has now done the way I see it, Yes, 1:11:11.200 --> 1:11:13.559 and and I think the world would appreciate that. 1:11:13.600 --> 1:11:14.920 And you'll be owner this time. 1:11:15.120 --> 1:11:15.840 One hundred percent. 1:11:16.520 --> 1:11:20.599 So all these big, huge networks that have already garnished 1:11:20.680 --> 1:11:21.200 all these. 1:11:22.400 --> 1:11:24.439 Millions of dollars. Only fans. 1:11:24.520 --> 1:11:27.040 Only fans was the only ones that actually knocked on 1:11:27.080 --> 1:11:27.439 the door. 1:11:27.760 --> 1:11:39.680 I'm getting my account, ya, I'm gonna supporting right now, man, 1:11:40.840 --> 1:11:41.800 supporting right now. 1:11:44.760 --> 1:11:46.599 You gotta restart your golden status. 1:11:46.600 --> 1:11:49.120 Only fans gold you got gold status. 1:11:49.920 --> 1:11:57.679 I don't even know that you know, you know that's 1:11:57.760 --> 1:12:01.680 dope because I've been seeing, because I've been seeing. 1:12:01.640 --> 1:12:03.439 These little networks like Zeus and things like that. I 1:12:03.439 --> 1:12:05.759 haven't been seeing and loving hip hop like it's crazy. 1:12:05.840 --> 1:12:08.920 Like these little networks, they're doing their own versions of 1:12:09.000 --> 1:12:09.559 the shows. 1:12:09.640 --> 1:12:11.799 And you got Jocelyn. Big up to Jocelyn. 1:12:12.040 --> 1:12:14.920 She's in charge of her cabinet. I think ray J 1:12:15.080 --> 1:12:19.040 got something. And they're all like little owners of these 1:12:19.040 --> 1:12:21.720 little networks and they're making it pop except for to 1:12:21.840 --> 1:12:24.559 be like Tooby's only one is a little loose. So slowly, 1:12:26.840 --> 1:12:30.880 I don't know who old to be. Wait, he is legitly. 1:12:30.240 --> 1:12:42.360 Slowly, but surely, we are witnessing us becoming small networks, 1:12:42.479 --> 1:12:46.600 satellite networks and having direct access to our audience. The 1:12:46.680 --> 1:12:50.599 gatekeepers have lost the gate already. We just used to 1:12:50.800 --> 1:12:53.200 going through them. So that's why we keep kind of 1:12:53.400 --> 1:12:55.280 drifting that way, but slowly but surely the. 1:12:55.240 --> 1:12:57.280 Path is being They're just trying to buy everything up 1:12:57.320 --> 1:13:00.160 even though they're. 1:12:59.600 --> 1:13:00.920 Trying to keep control power. 1:13:00.960 --> 1:13:04.679 But as as as they lose power, we are starting 1:13:04.680 --> 1:13:07.439 to gain it and we can go directly to our audience. 1:13:07.439 --> 1:13:10.720 So I think that's what the attractiveness of it is. 1:13:10.920 --> 1:13:15.120 Me understanding what it's been before, going through it, understanding 1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:17.280 it in a different light now, and now being able 1:13:17.280 --> 1:13:20.879 to step back in and control and control the narrative 1:13:21.720 --> 1:13:24.000 is amazing, you know what I'm saying. So so yeah, 1:13:24.000 --> 1:13:25.439 we have we haven't gotten far with. 1:13:25.360 --> 1:13:30.080 It, I hope again and again. Let me just let 1:13:30.080 --> 1:13:33.360 me just say something. I'm a binge watcher, right and 1:13:33.880 --> 1:13:36.000 I used to like, you know, HBO all this shit, 1:13:36.240 --> 1:13:38.479 like I stay home Now I watch ship that no 1:13:38.560 --> 1:13:41.800 one I watch Prime Apple TV like I watched like 1:13:42.200 --> 1:13:44.600 and well, again, you as long as you cater to 1:13:44.640 --> 1:13:46.760 your audience, I don't think you ever have to change. 1:13:46.760 --> 1:13:49.000 I don't think I'm just noticing that, like you know 1:13:49.000 --> 1:13:51.679 what I mean, Like, like remember it was just HBO, 1:13:51.840 --> 1:13:55.160 Cinemax showtime. I can stay home for a whole week 1:13:55.200 --> 1:13:57.360 I'm not hitting on none of those ships. I'm not 1:13:57.479 --> 1:14:00.400 watching what's supposed to be popular. I'm watching what speaks 1:14:00.400 --> 1:14:02.360 to me. I'm watching this sh it called Bad Monkey. 1:14:02.400 --> 1:14:03.559 I don't know if you've heard of it, but Vince 1:14:03.600 --> 1:14:05.960 Vaughn it. It's kind of crazy. It's about Florida. It's 1:14:05.960 --> 1:14:08.599 not the Keys. I always think of you, like cause 1:14:08.760 --> 1:14:09.280 I don't know. 1:14:09.360 --> 1:14:12.280 Me or I think you'd be in the Keys. 1:14:12.920 --> 1:14:14.120 Well, I don't know.

You get all that on the stream platform 1:14:24.800 --> 1:14:27.559 and watch it when you want to watch it. So 1:14:27.760 --> 1:14:29.720 it's I think it's just changing man. 1:14:30.160 --> 1:14:37.120 Netflix, guy, Yeahlix, Netflix, Max, HBO Max yeah, okay, Apple TV, 1:14:37.360 --> 1:14:42.080 Apple TV, Apple TV of course, and then yeah Amazon, yeah, yeah, 1:14:42.400 --> 1:14:43.519 that's probably making me pay. 1:14:43.640 --> 1:14:43.840 Man. 1:14:43.880 --> 1:14:48.800 I don't do Hulu anything like rend it.

Wow, 1:19:51.920 --> 1:19:54.519 because I was young, you know what I'm saying. And 1:19:54.760 --> 1:19:56.479 I really shouldn't have gave a fuck, you know what 1:19:56.479 --> 1:19:58.759 I'm saying. Definitely should but I was. I was worried 1:19:58.760 --> 1:20:04.559 about it because I love what we have this thing 1:20:04.600 --> 1:20:09.400 of ours hip hop is this brotherhood, this this this unity, 1:20:09.840 --> 1:20:13.080 this this unspoken word, this code that we live by. 1:20:13.680 --> 1:20:15.160 I was stepping outside of that. 1:20:15.240 --> 1:20:15.800 Right, you know. 1:20:16.040 --> 1:20:18.439 But you weren't though, But it's the same thing that. 1:20:18.320 --> 1:20:18.920 They talked about. 1:20:18.920 --> 1:20:20.640 Cannot make it make sense on sir, outside of this 1:20:20.800 --> 1:20:22.759 looking at the same things. Inside of looking out. 1:20:22.760 --> 1:20:25.400 You kept it hip hop, like had you had a 1:20:25.439 --> 1:20:29.519 fucking tuxedo on, you know what I'm saying, Like like 1:20:29.560 --> 1:20:32.280 if you was like like doing some weird funny ship like, 1:20:33.280 --> 1:20:35.680 you kept it hip hop. That's the thing about it. 1:20:35.720 --> 1:20:38.080 Like a lot of people think like hip hop is 1:20:38.080 --> 1:20:40.280 not even a close Sometimes hip hop is just you 1:20:40.280 --> 1:20:42.080 can put on anything, you can put it on prisons 1:20:42.120 --> 1:20:43.640 to and still be hip hop. Right, you know what 1:20:43.640 --> 1:20:47.080 I mean, and that's what I think the U the 1:20:47.160 --> 1:20:52.439 legitimacy comes from. My ride is no matter what if 1:20:52.479 --> 1:20:55.360 you was in Albuquerque, if he was in wherever, if 1:20:55.360 --> 1:20:58.400 he was never left California, he never left California. Sea 1:20:58.439 --> 1:21:01.000 an't know that. In my mind, I was to Seattle, 1:21:01.080 --> 1:21:03.000 you know what I'm saying, like all over the place, 1:21:03.080 --> 1:21:05.920 soul it was. It was kept hip hop. I think 1:21:05.920 --> 1:21:08.960 that's my point is like like you're slang not You 1:21:09.080 --> 1:21:11.439 brought hip hop in the world through the strike. 1:21:12.840 --> 1:21:16.040 But it was a risk because it was a risk 1:21:16.200 --> 1:21:20.040 because nobody else had done it. Yes, right, you're the 1:21:20.080 --> 1:21:23.920 first reality TV. You gotta remember we come from motherfucker. 1:21:23.960 --> 1:21:26.400 You talk about, you know, third base when it was 1:21:26.439 --> 1:21:29.080 just an mc hammer for doing Pepsi commercials. 1:21:29.120 --> 1:21:32.760 You know what I'm saying, em crossover, you know. 1:21:32.920 --> 1:21:37.439 Like that's where I was directly going against that rule, right, 1:21:38.160 --> 1:21:41.240 But it was I did it because I thought that 1:21:41.360 --> 1:21:46.400 it would help my music. Total opposite. It had nothing 1:21:46.400 --> 1:21:49.320 to do with the music. Motherfuckers didn't even it didn't 1:21:49.320 --> 1:21:52.760 even move the needle. It did take me into a 1:21:52.800 --> 1:21:53.880 household name though. 1:21:54.680 --> 1:21:56.720 In my opinion, outside of looking in and. 1:21:58.280 --> 1:22:02.000 You got something that joint gotcha. God damn, still there 1:22:04.280 --> 1:22:07.960 talking about Jesus. But see, in my opinion, now not 1:22:08.120 --> 1:22:12.640 now now, I would like you correct me. It was 1:22:12.720 --> 1:22:15.519 represented in the right way to me, Like when I 1:22:15.600 --> 1:22:18.040 seen that, like I want, I wouldn't want. I wouldn't 1:22:18.080 --> 1:22:21.920 want to watch you represent for us like you never 1:22:21.960 --> 1:22:26.479 felt like that if like yeah, I felt like he 1:22:26.560 --> 1:22:29.040 was bringing us with them. 1:22:29.960 --> 1:22:31.320 I went to wordy like that. 1:22:31.360 --> 1:22:34.599 But I'm glad it landed like that, meaning I'm glad 1:22:34.640 --> 1:22:34.920 that it. 1:22:35.000 --> 1:22:36.599 Was like perceived like that. 1:22:36.720 --> 1:22:39.320 You know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, you got people, 1:22:39.560 --> 1:22:45.679 you know who don't necessarily appreciate the transition from one 1:22:45.720 --> 1:22:48.439 to the other. But for the majority of people, there 1:22:48.520 --> 1:22:49.759 was a positive response. 1:22:50.160 --> 1:22:51.599 And you were picking out your own clothes. 1:22:55.800 --> 1:22:58.640 You gotta ask because come on, they definitely. 1:22:59.560 --> 1:23:01.200 The same exhibit on the show that you saw. 1:23:01.240 --> 1:23:02.800 That's what I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to 1:23:02.800 --> 1:23:05.880 say is you know once was it a success? 1:23:06.120 --> 1:23:08.800 They have he said he wasn't wearing a suit and tie. 1:23:08.800 --> 1:23:13.400 And then that's what's different was the the world got 1:23:13.439 --> 1:23:15.160 to see my character. 1:23:15.560 --> 1:23:17.320 They got to see the way I speak to my 1:23:17.640 --> 1:23:21.960 family members. How ill I tell horrible dad jokes? All 1:23:22.000 --> 1:23:26.000 the time, and and and and that's my sense of 1:23:26.080 --> 1:23:28.280 humor though, you know what I'm saying. So now I'm 1:23:29.080 --> 1:23:33.040 not exhibit wrapping a thousand fuck you bars. 1:23:33.080 --> 1:23:33.719 You know what I'm saying. 1:23:34.280 --> 1:23:37.200 Now you get to see me joking around with somebody 1:23:37.280 --> 1:23:40.640 and being able to relate to someone who's not a celebrity, 1:23:40.760 --> 1:23:44.040 Like being able to talk to people is a gift, 1:23:44.160 --> 1:23:44.760 you know what I'm saying. 1:23:45.720 --> 1:23:48.080 Some people don't know how to relate to who one 1:23:48.400 --> 1:23:51.360 and you jo on right, right? But that that's how 1:23:51.439 --> 1:23:52.519 I That's how I am. 1:23:53.080 --> 1:23:54.880 And so the world got to see that side of 1:23:54.920 --> 1:23:57.280 me and accepted that part. And I never in the 1:23:57.320 --> 1:24:01.320 world expected the you know, I never expected the world 1:24:01.360 --> 1:24:04.120 to accept me as as I am. 1:24:04.280 --> 1:24:04.880 You know what I'm saying. 1:24:04.920 --> 1:24:07.719 I only only what I presented, you know what I'm saying. 1:24:07.720 --> 1:24:09.600 So you were worried more than anything. 1:24:09.360 --> 1:24:11.400 Right, right, But I was worried about a lot, you 1:24:11.400 --> 1:24:13.800 know what I'm saying, Like, like, are they it's just 1:24:13.880 --> 1:24:16.160 going to affect me going back and doing music? Is 1:24:16.120 --> 1:24:19.120 this going to affect me? You know, like I don't 1:24:19.120 --> 1:24:21.120 know how it's going to be perceived. But it became 1:24:21.280 --> 1:24:25.240 a juggernaut hit. Yes, it became a path to follow. 1:24:25.800 --> 1:24:28.559 It became, you know, one of the things that people 1:24:28.640 --> 1:24:32.240 strive to emulate. That's why all these other shows, you know, 1:24:32.360 --> 1:24:35.000 came from it. And you know, I look back at 1:24:35.000 --> 1:24:38.320 that and be like wow, Like when you have imprints 1:24:38.400 --> 1:24:42.280 on society, that's different than just having a moment or 1:24:42.360 --> 1:24:45.400 having a hit record like this is this is something 1:24:45.439 --> 1:24:47.520 that lasts like generations. 1:24:47.880 --> 1:24:51.639 You're literally a part of people's childhood or just their 1:24:51.680 --> 1:24:53.280 viewing experience at home or whatever. 1:24:53.320 --> 1:24:54.320 That's that's a big deal. 1:24:54.560 --> 1:24:56.200 You could talk to You could talk to people and 1:24:56.800 --> 1:24:59.599 ask them, you know, about Pimp My Ride and they'll 1:24:59.600 --> 1:25:00.439 know what it is is, you. 1:25:00.520 --> 1:25:04.200 Know, but let me ask you, like we was required 1:25:04.240 --> 1:25:06.240 about only fans and they said they. 1:25:06.080 --> 1:25:06.840 Buy the I p O. 1:25:07.920 --> 1:25:09.479 Look they're willing to. 1:25:10.080 --> 1:25:12.320 Does that mean that you that you get back to 1:25:12.560 --> 1:25:17.920 old episodes like how Snoop got with death ro Like 1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:20.719 he doesn't have the old people, but he has people. 1:25:21.160 --> 1:25:22.920 He was a part of the original ownership. Were you 1:25:22.960 --> 1:25:25.439 a part of the original ownership of the creation? 1:25:26.600 --> 1:25:29.200 So he so they stepped to you with this idea already. 1:25:29.240 --> 1:25:31.559 But but you could be if they buy it and 1:25:31.680 --> 1:25:33.519 you say, well, if you buy it, I got it. 1:25:34.360 --> 1:25:37.519 It's super inclusive. They already told me, you know what, 1:25:37.560 --> 1:25:41.040 they what their vision was. But again it's just an idea. 1:25:41.360 --> 1:25:44.520 But I'm just letting them know. Shout out to OnlyFans television. 1:25:45.520 --> 1:25:47.760 I'm down with y'all.

You know what I'm 1:26:06.080 --> 1:26:09.479 saying that it still can still have relevance now, Like yo, 1:26:09.640 --> 1:26:11.120 why not do it? You know what I'm saying, Like 1:26:11.200 --> 1:26:13.479 why not? Why not put it back out there? But listen, 1:26:13.920 --> 1:26:16.000 you know if it comes to fruition, you'll be give 1:26:16.040 --> 1:26:17.000 you guys to be the first one. 1:26:17.080 --> 1:26:22.000 Oh yeah, I got damn it. We'll be drinking on 1:26:22.040 --> 1:26:25.559 the side, just comments just to get it. 1:26:26.760 --> 1:26:33.720 But all right, I'm want to ask you this. 1:26:34.400 --> 1:26:37.120 At one point this hat company was paying me right, 1:26:37.880 --> 1:26:39.840 pave me to wear a hat. I just I thought, 1:26:39.840 --> 1:26:43.120 awhile I just could not stop wearing this hat. Was 1:26:43.160 --> 1:26:45.840 there a point where the sess of the show. That 1:26:46.120 --> 1:26:48.519 was a big show. That was our first time getting 1:26:48.520 --> 1:26:52.120 to see a brother that we know that being himself, 1:26:52.200 --> 1:26:55.559 staying himself at that. But it's crossing over, like it. 1:26:55.920 --> 1:26:56.439 Became a house. 1:26:56.479 --> 1:26:58.360 It's almost like it's almost like n W A W 1:26:58.439 --> 1:27:00.679 A Records wasn't meant to cross over. Who Records wasn't 1:27:00.720 --> 1:27:02.760 want to cross over, but it crossed over. You wasn't 1:27:02.760 --> 1:27:06.760 trying to cross over, but you was coming in everyone's household. 1:27:07.080 --> 1:27:09.400 Was it? Was it any time that that that show 1:27:09.479 --> 1:27:11.479 like actually was a burden on you while you was 1:27:11.560 --> 1:27:12.160 recording it. 1:27:13.360 --> 1:27:16.200 I didn't get to tour. I didn't you have to 1:27:16.200 --> 1:27:18.840 stay in the place, didn't make music the same way, right, 1:27:18.840 --> 1:27:19.960 I couldn't record. 1:27:20.640 --> 1:27:23.920 We recorded seven seasons and it was like you know, 1:27:24.280 --> 1:27:27.200 it was it was always something and so I couldn't 1:27:27.200 --> 1:27:31.360 be away from LA and so I wasn't able to tour. 1:27:31.760 --> 1:27:34.240 It affected a lot of the music side of things, 1:27:34.800 --> 1:27:39.519 you know. So then it was like I had spent 1:27:39.600 --> 1:27:41.680 so much time doing the show. When I went back 1:27:41.720 --> 1:27:45.240 to do music, it was met with pell my ride, 1:27:45.320 --> 1:27:45.920 you know what I'm saying. 1:27:46.040 --> 1:27:48.400 I was met with that the label party said name 1:27:48.439 --> 1:27:48.800 your album. 1:27:50.680 --> 1:27:53.920 Yeah, I bet you it's similar to how you felt 1:27:53.960 --> 1:27:56.840 with coming back. I mean, you were still in music 1:27:56.920 --> 1:27:57.599 for me and this ship. 1:27:57.680 --> 1:27:58.760 No, no, yeah, I think it. 1:27:58.840 --> 1:28:00.479 I think the sentiment is probably the same for him 1:28:00.479 --> 1:28:03.720 going back to doing music after the show, the same 1:28:03.720 --> 1:28:05.719 way that you felt trying to figure your point ahead. 1:28:06.040 --> 1:28:08.160 You felt alienated. Remember you said you were in hip 1:28:08.200 --> 1:28:11.040 hop purgatory. Yeah, I felt I bet you that he 1:28:11.160 --> 1:28:13.000 kind of felt that same sentiment that you felt. 1:28:13.120 --> 1:28:13.880 See, I see. 1:28:14.040 --> 1:28:16.639 The thing is again, I'm a fan at this time, 1:28:17.040 --> 1:28:20.400 so I'm not seeing If you agreeing with that, I'm 1:28:20.439 --> 1:28:22.960 not seeing I'm seeing nothing but glory. 1:28:23.320 --> 1:28:26.679 Right, That's what I'm seeing, right, you know what I mean? Okay, 1:28:26.720 --> 1:28:27.040 but it. 1:28:27.000 --> 1:28:29.400 Didn't But he hadn't been training, he hadn't been in 1:28:29.439 --> 1:28:30.559 the studio, he hadn't been. 1:28:30.640 --> 1:28:32.880 I wish I wasn't able to do what I what 1:28:32.920 --> 1:28:35.680 I would, what I wanted to do. You know I 1:28:35.800 --> 1:28:38.880 was doing. I was doing something that was really dope, right. 1:28:39.200 --> 1:28:42.320 You know, my first love music is my first love. 1:28:43.800 --> 1:28:47.519 Jesus man, I'm not gonna lie to you. Like I said, 1:28:47.520 --> 1:28:50.040 we had third base on him, and we were sitting 1:28:50.080 --> 1:28:52.280 back and we were saying, how many you know things 1:28:52.320 --> 1:28:54.920 that people wouldn't do because of the commercialism. 1:28:55.280 --> 1:28:57.400 But you was. I kid you not. 1:28:57.479 --> 1:28:59.600 I would bet everything that you was the person. 1:28:59.360 --> 1:29:00.120 That balanced that. 1:29:01.000 --> 1:29:04.439 Like you know what I mean. I love this story, bro. 1:29:04.520 --> 1:29:07.639 I'm just being honest, bro, because you broke barriers. Man. 1:29:07.680 --> 1:29:12.400 You know what I'm saying. You did something that I 1:29:12.439 --> 1:29:15.040 believe that can't be replaced. That's why when I see 1:29:15.040 --> 1:29:29.280 the fakes, would you ever produce a show like that 1:29:29.439 --> 1:29:30.400 without you in it? 1:29:30.520 --> 1:29:31.120 Absolutely? 1:29:31.360 --> 1:29:34.040 Okay, that's the show a name be called. 1:29:37.560 --> 1:29:39.839 I don't think it necessarily has to be about cars. 1:29:40.800 --> 1:29:42.879 I think doing pimpyer Fridge. 1:29:45.400 --> 1:29:46.280 I didn't even think. 1:29:46.120 --> 1:29:48.960 A makeover show is what's necessary. I think what's missing 1:29:49.439 --> 1:29:54.920 right now is uh like people actually doing genuine things 1:29:54.920 --> 1:29:55.639 for other people. 1:29:56.120 --> 1:29:58.560 You know what I'm saying, Like. 1:29:57.800 --> 1:30:01.400 Like you see you see you know, like things on 1:30:01.800 --> 1:30:05.320 social media whatever. But you know, like again, that show 1:30:05.360 --> 1:30:08.160 was about Wisher filming. That show was about something that 1:30:08.280 --> 1:30:13.719 can that we It's no, it's no, it's no racial connection, 1:30:13.880 --> 1:30:17.439 there's no there's no party, there's no government official. This 1:30:17.560 --> 1:30:20.879 is just about somebody having something that everybody else has 1:30:21.080 --> 1:30:23.640 and eventually can be able to do something you know, 1:30:23.840 --> 1:30:24.680 positive with it. 1:30:25.160 --> 1:30:27.559 And so you know, if I do another show man, 1:30:28.760 --> 1:30:29.479 you know, I would. 1:30:29.320 --> 1:30:31.479 Love to produce something that had that that kind of 1:30:31.520 --> 1:30:32.360 basis to it, that. 1:30:32.400 --> 1:30:35.719 Route to it. But I mean, there's so many ideas 1:30:35.760 --> 1:30:36.080 out there. 1:30:36.080 --> 1:30:38.519 There's so many things, like I got an idea for 1:30:38.600 --> 1:30:40.080 a show, like, let me explain what. 1:30:41.600 --> 1:30:45.560 No, yeah, yeah, I don't. Nobody's listening to us. I 1:30:45.560 --> 1:30:47.000 don't idea. 1:30:47.040 --> 1:30:48.760 No. I mean, look, if they take it. If they 1:30:48.760 --> 1:30:50.400 take it, then so be it, you know what I'm saying. 1:30:51.000 --> 1:30:57.439 But good luck. But but I like to go fishing, fishing. 1:30:57.560 --> 1:30:59.200 You know what I'm saying, black men fishing. 1:30:59.680 --> 1:31:02.880 I like to go deep sea fishing, right, And so 1:31:03.320 --> 1:31:05.760 you know, one of one of our ideas, me and 1:31:05.800 --> 1:31:08.680 Tato we we we we go out sometimes and so 1:31:10.439 --> 1:31:17.120 no out of the what is it the it's an 1:31:17.120 --> 1:31:21.519 ox nerd. I forget the name of the place. But 1:31:21.720 --> 1:31:23.559 but I go out.

Okay, right, 1:42:06.800 --> 1:42:09.000 I have one in bel Air and one in Chatsworth. 1:42:09.120 --> 1:42:14.000 Sounds very rich. They look beautiful, yeah, beautiful. 1:42:14.080 --> 1:42:16.120 Yeah, And I got a I got with a really 1:42:16.120 --> 1:42:20.120 good group. But the retail aspect of what I do 1:42:20.200 --> 1:42:23.840 in cannabis is where I landed. I started by, you know, 1:42:24.160 --> 1:42:28.320 creating some of the biggest brands in cannabis, from you know, 1:42:28.479 --> 1:42:31.400 Brass Knuckles to what we did with Nate Palm to 1:42:31.520 --> 1:42:34.240 working with others, you know, like like my close friends 1:42:34.240 --> 1:42:37.160 are you know, Bread, Wonder Bread, the Originals, you know 1:42:37.200 --> 1:42:40.559 what I'm saying, Like like of course Doctor Green Thumb, 1:42:41.560 --> 1:42:44.120 all all the real heavy hitters, Kenji, all those guys 1:42:44.120 --> 1:42:47.880 that really like put the put it down, see Junkie Genetics, 1:42:48.400 --> 1:42:51.040 all these guys that I've had real close intimate, you know, 1:42:51.240 --> 1:42:56.439 like like real real real relationships. Building brands is where 1:42:56.479 --> 1:43:01.160 I started. So that started in like twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, 1:43:01.840 --> 1:43:05.559 you know, twenty sixteen. Like the first thing I made 1:43:05.760 --> 1:43:09.360 was a taffy and it was it was it was yeah, 1:43:09.479 --> 1:43:12.040 and it was like we couldn't get the formula right, 1:43:12.120 --> 1:43:14.680 so like one piece would be fucking strong and not 1:43:14.800 --> 1:43:16.639 get your ass out, and then the other one wouldn't 1:43:16.680 --> 1:43:18.479 be as strong as it was. So it was like 1:43:19.160 --> 1:43:22.000 a thing we had to make right. And so that 1:43:22.160 --> 1:43:24.960 was my entry into it. It was called lool taffy. 1:43:25.360 --> 1:43:27.320 And then from there I said, okay, cool. We went 1:43:27.320 --> 1:43:29.720 into the vape cards and then we got into other things. 1:43:29.960 --> 1:43:32.000 But I learned a lot. I know every aspect. 1:43:32.040 --> 1:43:35.520 I've had my own distribution, I've had my own manufacturing, 1:43:35.600 --> 1:43:37.400 I've had all of that stuff. So I've learned every 1:43:37.439 --> 1:43:40.760 aspect of the business. So you know, I think experience 1:43:40.800 --> 1:43:42.760 to me is knowing who to fire and you know 1:43:42.800 --> 1:43:44.800 what I'm saying. And so for me, being able to 1:43:45.160 --> 1:43:48.800 have every aspect of the cannabis industry, you know, understood 1:43:49.320 --> 1:43:52.360 retail was a natural thing for me because not only 1:43:52.400 --> 1:43:53.880 do I know how to build a brand that I 1:43:53.920 --> 1:43:56.280 know how to push your brand that I thought it 1:43:56.320 --> 1:43:58.320 was dope to be able to like. Okay, well let's 1:43:58.320 --> 1:44:01.240 tell everybody shit. You know, California is a ship show 1:44:01.320 --> 1:44:03.240 right now. It needs to be regulated in. 1:44:03.160 --> 1:44:07.040 A different way. I don't understand. 1:44:07.120 --> 1:44:10.080 The rules and regulations for cannabis in California are really 1:44:10.080 --> 1:44:13.360 difficult to navigate for legal cannabis now when you out 1:44:13.960 --> 1:44:17.800 so there's say there's a thousand shops in California right now, 1:44:18.160 --> 1:44:21.920 maybe you know, maybe about half of them are legal, 1:44:22.320 --> 1:44:24.800 right so the other guys are operating. 1:44:24.320 --> 1:44:27.120 With no taxes. No, no, you know. 1:44:28.800 --> 1:44:31.840 It was it was black market or the traditional market, 1:44:32.080 --> 1:44:36.800 you know, and so you know it's we plan by 1:44:36.840 --> 1:44:41.639 different rules, but it's over taxed, it's overregulated. They make 1:44:41.680 --> 1:44:44.280 it really difficult for real operators to to go and 1:44:44.320 --> 1:44:46.200 then they have to compete with people who are just 1:44:46.320 --> 1:44:48.600 undercutting the prices, you know what I'm saying, you know, 1:44:48.640 --> 1:44:50.680 because we got to keep our prices a certain way 1:44:50.680 --> 1:44:52.719 in order to pay the taxes and whatever it happens 1:44:52.760 --> 1:44:55.720 from from the legal business. But then when you got 1:44:55.720 --> 1:44:58.160 motherfucking cowboys down the street that don't give a fuck 1:44:58.200 --> 1:45:00.400 about none of that shit, putting the sh and color 1:45:00.439 --> 1:45:03.120 for last boxes with no regulations and they. 1:45:03.080 --> 1:45:04.519 Got cereal boxes and all. 1:45:06.439 --> 1:45:08.679 All the rappers going in there, like you know what I'm. 1:45:08.520 --> 1:45:10.320 Saying, like why go to a legal shop where I 1:45:10.320 --> 1:45:12.439 can go get some fruit loops with a whole bunch 1:45:12.479 --> 1:45:14.120 of weed in it? You know what I'm saying Like. 1:45:14.600 --> 1:45:18.000 This, it's difficult to navigate through that in California. So 1:45:19.080 --> 1:45:21.840 that being said, there is still a thriving business and 1:45:21.880 --> 1:45:24.400 that things get regulated, it will balance itself out. 1:45:27.280 --> 1:45:30.080 Go to the next krook Tom Slam, Thank god, Mama. 1:45:31.800 --> 1:45:33.320 Rads.

Yeah, 1:51:49.200 --> 1:51:52.000 I mean, you can't take nothing away from what these 1:51:52.040 --> 1:51:53.800 guys are doing because they're doing it at such a 1:51:53.880 --> 1:51:58.360 high level.

I'm 1:52:16.600 --> 1:52:17.599 going to be some big thoughts. 1:52:18.040 --> 1:52:18.559 We went through. 1:52:19.080 --> 1:52:25.759 Yeah, we went through it. What was that secondhand smoke? 1:52:26.360 --> 1:52:31.879 We definitely called second hand smoke? Like this is ahead Jesus, 1:52:32.000 --> 1:52:32.880 Nipsey or Drake you. 1:52:36.760 --> 1:52:42.400 Nigga ruthless Dominicans of Columbia. 1:52:42.479 --> 1:52:48.000 Draco, Draco, I have to say Nipsey like I you know, 1:52:48.640 --> 1:52:56.120 you know, rest in peace Draco's Nipsy piece both. 1:52:56.400 --> 1:52:58.400 Yeah. 1:52:59.760 --> 1:53:04.160 I just think that what Nipsey manifested in the city 1:53:04.160 --> 1:53:07.920 of Los Angeles, in his neighborhood, in the spirit of 1:53:07.920 --> 1:53:08.400 the people. 1:53:09.400 --> 1:53:12.439 I got to see it myself.

They both had impacts, 1:53:16.880 --> 1:53:20.200 but I think what Nipsey men and what he represented 1:53:20.960 --> 1:53:22.120 was a lot stronger. 1:53:22.880 --> 1:53:25.200 You know, I want to re edit what you're saying 1:53:26.200 --> 1:53:26.439 to me. 1:53:27.640 --> 1:53:31.360 I know this is gonna sound crazy, but to me, 1:53:31.560 --> 1:53:34.680 every time I met Nipsey, it was like me in 1:53:34.760 --> 1:53:39.439 a version of Jesus.

Let me just point out one thing. 2:13:46.560 --> 2:13:48.840 Let me just point out one thing. You know. I 2:13:48.880 --> 2:13:51.400 got a friend in head tonight. His name is Warrial Flush, 2:13:51.440 --> 2:13:56.760 Big up to Worrial Flush. We got classic records together, 2:13:57.360 --> 2:14:00.320 and when we met each other, his hood and my 2:14:00.440 --> 2:14:04.720 hood wasn't vibing. But in order for his all the 2:14:04.800 --> 2:14:06.960 records that we got together to be classic, you had 2:14:06.960 --> 2:14:09.840 to be in that studio together. He couldn't have sent 2:14:09.880 --> 2:14:12.080 me no record. I couldn't send him no record. That's 2:14:12.120 --> 2:14:15.280 the reason why analog always to me, that whole era 2:14:15.400 --> 2:14:17.680 of analog, when we had to be in the studio 2:14:17.760 --> 2:14:20.960 together with each other, like the tape, cut the tape, 2:14:21.280 --> 2:14:22.120 you know, doing all that. 2:14:22.280 --> 2:14:26.400 Like to me, stay in that process. How sharp you 2:14:26.520 --> 2:14:29.760 had to be to be on the mic at that 2:14:29.880 --> 2:14:32.280 time you couldn't. There was no take. 2:14:32.480 --> 2:14:35.720 There was you tape, There was no rewind. 2:14:36.240 --> 2:14:38.520 In order to cut something, you had to you had 2:14:38.560 --> 2:14:40.840 to in order to punch something you had to cut 2:14:40.920 --> 2:14:45.400 the tape recorded again, have that brought back spliced directly 2:14:45.600 --> 2:14:49.040 so it sounds right the motherfucker who's got mad at 2:14:49.080 --> 2:14:51.560 you making a mistake, Like you don't make a mistake 2:14:51.640 --> 2:14:52.480 right now, You're like whatever. 2:14:52.920 --> 2:14:59.920 Yeah, But back then it was the sound. 2:15:00.160 --> 2:15:02.320 So we always go back to the Quick interview where 2:15:02.400 --> 2:15:04.640 Quick said that he just felt that that it was 2:15:04.800 --> 2:15:08.560 like the energy that was the magnetic energy from the vocals. 2:15:08.600 --> 2:15:11.440 It would take the studio, would take everything into the 2:15:11.480 --> 2:15:12.720 bike that was going on in the studio. 2:15:13.120 --> 2:15:15.280 I mean it was the energy though, like like if 2:15:15.720 --> 2:15:17.760 we had to do a record together, like he had to, 2:15:18.000 --> 2:15:19.560 he had to see me, has to feel me, he 2:15:19.600 --> 2:15:21.120 had to you know what I mean. And then and 2:15:21.160 --> 2:15:24.120 then you know that that that collaboration that would send 2:15:24.240 --> 2:15:25.600 on the record. I think that's the reason why I 2:15:25.640 --> 2:15:28.640 always pick a law Yeah. No, no, analog has a 2:15:28.720 --> 2:15:34.520 warmer sound, like like I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but you 2:15:34.640 --> 2:15:37.880 got an album drop into twenty twenty five. Yes, did 2:15:38.000 --> 2:15:39.920 dra send you that beat? Or you had to do 2:15:40.000 --> 2:15:40.480 it together? 2:15:40.520 --> 2:15:41.560 We did it together? Okay? 2:15:41.640 --> 2:15:44.400 That that that that's that's that sound was my fucking yeah. 2:15:46.800 --> 2:15:50.120 Look look Drake, you know disguise, you know whatever. He 2:15:50.200 --> 2:15:53.520 could send you a beat and say, but no, whose 2:15:53.640 --> 2:15:54.240 idea was it? 2:15:54.360 --> 2:15:56.000 For y'all? He's got to be in a room to 2:15:56.080 --> 2:15:57.520 make sure he gets to it. I feel like Drake 2:15:57.560 --> 2:16:01.440 does all most of his records. Yeah, yeah, you got 2:16:01.560 --> 2:16:02.120 to be in a room. 2:16:02.280 --> 2:16:04.600 And it's a privilege to be in that room, you 2:16:04.680 --> 2:16:07.160 know what I'm saying, Like, like, you can't come in 2:16:07.240 --> 2:16:10.000 there fucking around. So it's all it's all fun and 2:16:10.040 --> 2:16:13.040 games until the music come on. Then when the music 2:16:13.080 --> 2:16:16.920 come on, niggad, what are you bringing here?

Yes, 2:16:30.720 --> 2:16:33.240 when you when you look, look, it's like alchemy. You're 2:16:33.280 --> 2:16:36.480 creating a thought, something out of thin air of the 2:16:36.520 --> 2:16:40.199 ether into making something that moves millions of people. 2:16:40.720 --> 2:16:44.360 You dropping guns over there, Jamie, put your guns away. 2:16:44.360 --> 2:16:46.920 It's not like a good moving millions of people. 2:16:47.680 --> 2:16:49.720 Like, there's nothing like it. 2:16:50.280 --> 2:16:54.840 You know.

You're right. 2:18:22.760 --> 2:18:25.920 I think Biggie gotta I got it. Got a bit further, Yeah, 2:18:26.160 --> 2:18:26.640 of course right. 2:18:29.120 --> 2:18:32.800 I think what Biggie left on the impact of the 2:18:32.879 --> 2:18:37.080 game raised the bar so we can have you know, 2:18:37.320 --> 2:18:38.560 the mega stars that we have. 2:18:38.800 --> 2:18:39.800 Now you know what I'm saying. 2:18:40.240 --> 2:18:42.680 He showed he opened the door and the light to 2:18:42.800 --> 2:18:46.480 the vision of what all these mega rappers kind of 2:18:46.600 --> 2:18:51.160 emulated and became and built a foundation for. That's so 2:18:51.400 --> 2:18:54.040 big L to us is a hero because of his 2:18:54.240 --> 2:18:59.280 lyricism and his ability. A lot of rappers can rap, 2:18:59.360 --> 2:19:02.400 but not a lot of rappers have ability like something 2:19:02.440 --> 2:19:05.240 that is like standalone, you know what I'm saying, Like 2:19:05.360 --> 2:19:08.560 something that is like unique to them, Like you know, 2:19:09.760 --> 2:19:12.480 big L had that. The way he flipped it and 2:19:12.560 --> 2:19:16.080 the way his metaphors and it was being together like 2:19:16.480 --> 2:19:20.240 that was something that can't be emulated. 2:19:22.080 --> 2:19:22.920 Or duplicated. 2:19:24.200 --> 2:19:27.200 Although people took bits of his style and made their 2:19:27.240 --> 2:19:31.040 own as well, big L was an originator. So, but 2:19:32.200 --> 2:19:35.520 what Biggie represented and what his style was, and how 2:19:36.040 --> 2:19:44.240 I remember saying to myself, he makes it seem so effortless, Biggie, Biggie, 2:19:45.760 --> 2:19:48.760 the way he put words together and his inflection and 2:19:49.000 --> 2:19:55.200 his his delivery and his metaphors were so smart. He 2:19:55.360 --> 2:20:00.240 had to use less words, which was fucking crazy, you 2:20:00.280 --> 2:20:02.840 know what I'm saying, Like, like his inflection, you know 2:20:02.959 --> 2:20:05.080 what he meant. Even when he was saying something that 2:20:05.840 --> 2:20:10.640 seemed light hearted, it was very dark comedic, and he 2:20:10.760 --> 2:20:13.760 was probably funny as fuck, you know what. I'm saying, like, like, 2:20:13.879 --> 2:20:17.560 he I never met him. I met him one time. 2:20:17.760 --> 2:20:19.400 I never met It's crazy. 2:20:19.480 --> 2:20:21.000 I met him one time.

Loyalty 2:34:59.560 --> 2:35:06.760 why Wow, it's a that's fast. Loyalty is royalty, That's 2:35:06.760 --> 2:35:10.800 it it is. It's like, I see, this is the 2:35:10.920 --> 2:35:12.840 only time that me and E f N feel like 2:35:12.920 --> 2:35:13.440 it's both. 2:35:13.600 --> 2:35:15.240 We'll take a shot. Yeah, so I'm gonna take a shot. 2:35:15.240 --> 2:35:18.000 I'm gonna take a shot because I feel like loyalty 2:35:18.200 --> 2:35:19.520 respect goes hand in hand. 2:35:19.760 --> 2:35:21.800 Some people disagree with me and I respect people. Some 2:35:21.879 --> 2:35:26.800 people respect you when it's convenient. Some people respect you 2:35:26.920 --> 2:35:31.200 when they get something out of it. Loyalty is different. 2:35:33.600 --> 2:35:36.959 Okay, okay, we didn't actually we didn't ask the Dominican Republicans. 2:35:38.720 --> 2:35:40.600 We'll come back to the dedication in a little while. 2:35:40.720 --> 2:35:45.959 So, so, loyalty to me is something different. That's something 2:35:46.040 --> 2:35:49.800 you can't fake, you know what I'm saying. Like, loyalty 2:35:49.920 --> 2:35:52.960 is something that comes from your your spirit. It's like 2:35:53.080 --> 2:35:54.959 you do it when they in front of you, when 2:35:55.120 --> 2:35:57.600 they're not in front of you, and you know, being 2:35:57.760 --> 2:36:01.440 being loyal to somebody you know is different, you know 2:36:01.480 --> 2:36:06.480 what I'm saying. So I pick loyalty out of respect 2:36:06.560 --> 2:36:09.960 because people lose respect. What would you like both at 2:36:10.000 --> 2:36:13.000 the same time, you respect, you don't want. I don't 2:36:13.040 --> 2:36:15.840 give a fuck what you think about me, as long 2:36:15.920 --> 2:36:19.120 as I know I'm being an upstanding individual. You know, 2:36:19.160 --> 2:36:21.920 it depends on when you meet me, you know what 2:36:21.959 --> 2:36:24.200 I'm saying. Like some people will tell you I'm the 2:36:24.240 --> 2:36:26.560 greatest thing in the planet. Some people will tell you 2:36:26.600 --> 2:36:29.720 I'm the worst thing that ever happened to them. Depends 2:36:29.760 --> 2:36:31.560 on when you meet me, you know what I'm saying, 2:36:31.600 --> 2:36:36.600 because of what our relationship is. Whenever somebody loses a fight, 2:36:36.680 --> 2:36:40.640 they're not gonna tell you that they lost their right. Yeah, 2:36:40.680 --> 2:36:44.280 then everything is somebody else's fault. But for me, you 2:36:44.320 --> 2:36:46.760 know what I'm saying, Like, loyalty means that whether you know, 2:36:47.000 --> 2:36:51.240 win or lose, Like, that's who I'm rying with and 2:36:51.360 --> 2:36:52.240 that's what's important. 2:36:53.520 --> 2:36:53.640 Right. 2:37:00.520 --> 2:37:01.280 God comes to you. 2:37:02.920 --> 2:37:08.040 And God says, man, I want you to make the 2:37:08.120 --> 2:37:09.160 world straight. 2:37:10.800 --> 2:37:11.280 And straight. 2:37:11.360 --> 2:37:13.160 I don't mean that and like a sexual man, I 2:37:13.280 --> 2:37:13.760 just mean. 2:37:14.240 --> 2:37:18.039 Like, you know, only no would clarify that. 2:37:20.400 --> 2:37:23.440 That that is the most dignified passe that I've ever heard. 2:37:26.480 --> 2:37:29.000 I didn't want to react to it, but that is 2:37:29.080 --> 2:37:32.280 the most It's only you that say that. 2:37:34.760 --> 2:37:36.240 I don't mean that sexual. 2:37:37.240 --> 2:37:41.400 I want the most that was clear.
