Speaker 2: We had blackout. I forgot we yet out three oh three.

73
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: We had to blackout and O three and I remember

74
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: it was steaming outside and literally we was all in

75
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: the block sitting outside until sun came up.

76
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: Like we was like, and then we can't go in

77
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: the house. It's dark.

78
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: Young candles lit to just kind of showed your way

79
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: through the house flashlights. Everybody in the block was like, man,

80
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: let's just sit outside, bring the chairs outside. We had,

81
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: you know, the lawn chairs outside, and we had to

82
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 3: plug We had to plug into the into the light.

83
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

84
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 3: So yeah, the street light so we could get get

85
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: some get some power to charge our phones.

86
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: So it was crazy. The blackout of O three was

87
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: legendary though. I mean the fact you've even thinking about

88
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: charging your phone at that time, it's kind of nuts.

89
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: I mean, we had to find we had to find

90
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: a way to do it. We had to generate it.

91
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: Somebody brought to generate outside. I was like, you got

92
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: to generate it just in your house.

93
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: So the way that in the light pole worked.

94
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the light poles, I think was it the

95
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: light pole something outside we plugged into and everybody kind

96
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: of took turns to kind of charge their charge their phone.

97
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: I just mainly remember all small business owners just being terrified.

98
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: That's like my main remembrance. Gates was down.

99
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: Everything, but I do remember it being steaming hot outside.

100
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: It was like, not only do we not have power,

101
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: but it's just scorching hot outside. And then we found

102
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 3: out that something that happened in Canada. They said a

103
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: tree fell on a power grid, being Canada's.

104
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: Tree falls and no one hears that New York.

105
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: Somebody didn't sit in the check they were supposed to send,

106
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: and Canada got pissed at us, and this all a

107
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: sudden like.

108
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,960

00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

126
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: For me, that that album. Out of all the projects

127
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: that you released to me, I think that was the

128
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: one that kind of solidified for me your place amongst

129
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: the elite rappers and MC's that man appreciate that. But

130
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 3: this album, I took it personal.

131
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

132
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: We spoke about it when you was writing and laying

133
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: it down, and you said you wanted to experiment with

134
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 3: this one a little bit.

135
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, this wasn't even me, Like like I was pulling

136
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: back on a lot of these records.

137
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: It wasn't even me.

138
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: Like going like Sunday Dinner was like stressful, Like count Rice,

139
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: that shit is like you got to have conversations different

140
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: different people's perspective on like situations that I saw, and

141
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: it just like, what did you feel about when this happened?

142
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: Like having conversations with my mom? My mom was like

143
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: my mom is like my sister. My mom didn't raise me,

144
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: so my grandma raised me, so my mom would all.

145
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: My mom always caused me. She leaves these voicemails and

146
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: stuff and just say different stuff. So it's like she's

147
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: opening the album and all this shit. I'm like, Yo,

148
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: this is heavy. This is something I got to like

149
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: do a deep dive in and like you know, just

150
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: talk about but I got to do it the right way.

151
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: So it was me talking to my siblings, me talking

152
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: to my mom, me talking to uncle's aunts. So yeah,

153
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: but that was like I don't know if you ever

154
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: seen this ship where Kobe was like, man, I had

155
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: to lock in. Everything had to be basketball for me

156
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: to like win the ring. And I think that's what

157
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: that album was for me, like just locking all the

158
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: way in, getting it together, and it was like, man,

159
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: that shit took played a little bit on my mental health.

160
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: It was a lot of shit that I didn't like

161
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: overcome and lock.

162
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: In, like fuck the rest of my family's feelings. This

163
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 4: is my perspective of what happened.

164
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean I got to get their approval because I

165
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: got it to speak about certain shit. Fuck you when

166
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: it's time to write it down, you know what I'm saying.

167
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: But I gotta get you. I gotta get your approval.

168
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that because it's like certain

169
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: things they might not want the world to know.

170
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure not, you know so.

171
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: As an MC hot, but that has to kind of like,

172
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: you know, getting the way of the creative process a

173
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 3: little bit. When you got to take the accountability and

174
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: you know, the storytelling when you get into your storytelling bag,

175
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: how's my family gonna feel? Has there ever been a

176
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: moment where you've you've you've laid something down in the

177
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: booth and then you know, whether it be mom or

178
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: whoever heard it, And it was like, nah, you can't

179
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: say that. And then you got to go back and

180
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: kind of like, yeah.

181
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: My mom's a nigga bro, like real black, Yeah, country

182
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: lady from the South, deep South.

183
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, the fuck is you doing nigga with you? Yeah?

184
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Got us out of your naked going on. I'm like, y'o,

185
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: all right, let me change it, let me flip it off.

186
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

187
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: She was like, nah, if you want to say it said,

188
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: it's cool. I ain't really tripping, but yeah, nigga, Like,

189
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: don't just be laying ship trying to you know what

190
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying, So it don't it don't really take away

191
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: from the process. I remember recording with Ray Murray from

192
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: Organized Noise and I was like, man, I don't really

193
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: like this sample. I like the sample, but we got

194
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: to clear the sample because at this time, the people,

195
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: like the management that I had, they always had me

196
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: thinking business and clearing samples and all this shit, and

197
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I remember Ray saying like.

198
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: Man, get the fucking idea out. Yep, fuck the sample.

199
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: We'll figure all that shit out later if I got

200
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: to change it and play it over. So I took

201
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: that approach when it came to, like, you know, telling

202
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: certain things about my life. So yeah, I would ask

203
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: after I create, create the rectuse Yeah, no.

204
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: It makes sense. So where did the I took it

205
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: personal thought? First?

206
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: Cross your head in the process of this, who pisched

207
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: you off? Who is this directly about? Or at least

208
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: sparked the idea of the album title of industry.

209
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: I took the.

210
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: The business out of it. Yeah, that's something that I

211
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: think that a lot of artists. You know, I love

212
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: when the artists and Roy you're an artist as well,

213
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: you can speak to it when they realized him the

214
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: business gets in the way a lot, for sure. Politics,

215
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: it's relationships, it's you know, I got to do it,

216
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: like I just want to create, put it out. Hopefully

217
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: people enjoy it and they accept the art and you know,

218
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: they live with it. But it's so many other things

219
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 3: that get in the way that can kind of turn

220
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: you off as an artist, Like I don't even want

221
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: to do this. If I got to do all of that,

222
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: if all of that with it, I don't want.

223
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 4: To create the four of us or four of us

224
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: with Vince Staples sat in the studio and talk about

225
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: this entire thing.

226
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: For sure.

227
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 4: That has to be the top thing on your mind

228
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 4: before you can even create season two.

229
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's what exactly steps in front of you.

230
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: Because I'm on the side of creating we'll figure it

231
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 4: out later type of thing. But that can only go

232
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: so far. At some point, something's going to be a roadblock,

233
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: and you have to plan for that.

234
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: On the second for sure, you'll fall in love with

235
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: some shit and it's like, no, we can't do.

236
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: That, and then you hear the sample we play and

237
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: you're like, I don't even like the song anymore.

238
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: It's like for sure.

239
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: So it's like a lot of mix and matching verses

240
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: at that point. So, yeah, that's what this was. But

241
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: sometimes I'll just be like, man, catch me if you can,

242
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: Like I'm putting this shit out, you know what I mean.

243
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: So a lot of that shit is that too. But yeah,

244
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: to answer your question, I've been pissed stuff since I

245
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: came into business because I'm like I'm seeing everybody get

246
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: their motherfucking flowers, and I feel like I'm the coldest rapper,

247
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: one of the coldest rappers ever, especially at this time.

248
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I came out at the weird time.

249
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of other shit going on, but yeah,

250
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: I just felt like I was the the dopest rapper.

251
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: And I felt like if people were considered lyrical, if

252
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: they had a certain co sign or a certain thing

253
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: going for him, they would push to the forefront, you

254
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And you know, I wasn't, you know,

255
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: like mad. I was pissed, but I wasn't like, like

256
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: really upset. It wasn't like I wanted to hurt anybody

257
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: or do anything, but it was like, man, like, come on, Doug.

258
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 4: Like I've noticed since the blog era, since Twitter, really,

259
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: I'll say, when it comes to media, there has been

260
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: obviously like the A List and people that are on majors,

261
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 4: but then there's the underground that may not do any

262
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: of the numbers that match to what the media says

263
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: about them. They become the darling of the Twitter worlds

264
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 4: or the darling of the blog era, and then you

265
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 4: see what they saw and listen I'm not here to.

266
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: I'm glad these type of rappers get their shine. Anyone

267
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm thinking in my head is dope, but they become

268
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: the darling of the blog.

269
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: Type of media for sure. Did you feel left out

270
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: of that?

271
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 5: I think I came after that, you know, I think

272
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 5: I came after that.

273
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 4: But it even folded over, like I'm not gonna let's

274
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 4: use beat Out as an example, just because beat Out

275
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: was there from the blog era to now as far

276
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: as still doing lists, and if you go through this list,

277
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: which I appreciate, it's not a sales thing per se.

278
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 4: It's supposed to be for talent, but I see a

279
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 4: lot of rappers that aren't in that inner circle of

280
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 4: blog shit. They still not selling nothing, but they're in

281
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 4: the inner circle of media.

282
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 5: It's weird. I see his list all the time.

283
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: I even told him, like, you out of touch with

284
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: a lot of put a lot of this ship, bro,

285
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Like just being honest.

286
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, beatt, you hear that you out of touch with

287
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: a lot of this ship with it.

288
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: So it's like Sunday Dinner came out that year. I

289
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: heard that and I didn't see it on the list, like.

290
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: Which I thought was crazy.

291
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: No, no, but you say what because you had a

292
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: conversation with be doubt about it. What was his response

293
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: to not having Sunday dinner on on on the list man.

294
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: You got to get active outside of the albums, which

295
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: I respect, but niggaive album still came out, Like the

296
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: album is out. I just dropped the album and saw

00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: you right after that, like, which is cool. I get like,

298
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: you gotta stay active and do all this stuff. But

299
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: I was also active. I was still putting out other ship,

300
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: putting out freestyles and doing other stuff.

301
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 5: But I you know me personally, I just felt like

302
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 5: it was an excuse.

303
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, what's the definition of getting your flowers? Though?

304

Speaker 2: He gets it because when you who decided to know.

Speaker 1: like I get him now from like the music business

00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: on the roll. I mean, I understand getting your flowers,

316
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 3: but sometimes it's like, what, don't leave me giving you

317
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: the flower only?

318
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't leave me.

319
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: Off none of these lists because I'm not on none

320
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: of the list, which I don't really I don't really care,

321
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: but it's like, but that's what that.

322
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: Makes me feel. Yeah, it makes me feel.

323
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: Like it's about something else, Okay, because I'm a nigga

324
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: from somewhere else, So I be feeling like.

325
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't really fuck with me like that was

326
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: going on.

327
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you got a problem, right, you know what

328
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because clearly I should I should be mentioning

329
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: up there.

330
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah.

331
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 4: I mean I've had countless conversations with Walle for example,

332
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 4: on Mike and off Mike about this very thing. And

333
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 4: that's not a secret that Wile is very vocal when

334
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: he feels like he's being slighted or blackballed or like

335
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: there's there has to be a real reason why you're

336
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 4: leaving me off this because my art does not match

337
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 4: what you guys are putting up on this market.

338
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: My aunt warrants me, it warrants me to be on these.

339
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: Lists, and you know, everyone's response to l A is like,

340
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 4: look at all your number ones, look at your career

341
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 4: and all that, Like, yeah, that's cool, and I think

342
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: that's a dream that you could be on tour with

343
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: Nas and Lauren Hill and probably the three greatest rappers

344
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: have co signed you. Yeah, that doesn't feed your kid

345
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: like a co sign is like like yeah, all right,

346
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: And not to say that the list really validates that,

347
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 4: but if you're not in the inner circle of the

348
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 4: media of constantly being on list or thrown into the

349
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: casual fans face, you're gonna start to feel away, like

350
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: did I do something to y'all right? Why am I

351
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: not in this certain mix? And then you have the

352
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: real rat fans like nah, but NAS think you ill,

353
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: and it's like dog Nas is.

354
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: Fine, Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah. Yeah.

355
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: So that's where I feel like while A where he

356
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: gets misunderstood, I understand. I get it, even even with

357
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: like the complex list stuff, with podcast stuff, even with

358
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: my album I felt away. When I was looking through

359
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 4: the top fifty, I was like, ain't no fucking way.

360
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: I can nate.

361
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: I can name twenty five albums that are way worse

362
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: than my fucking album on this ship and start because

363
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 4: it does. It does add an accolade. Like even with

364
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 4: the Grammy ship, No, Grammys can never validate an artist,

365
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 4: never will.

366
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't want artists to think that way.

367
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: But don't act like you don't get more opportunities when

368
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: a published publicist is sending out a bio that says

369
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 4: Grammy nominated, Grammy Award winner, like, you get more ship

370
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 4: and if you're signed to a label, that could be

371
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: a point to them renegotiate. Like there's so much into

372
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 4: that with media that I don't even want to be

373
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: the hip hop nerd purist.

374
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: That's like, man, if Lauren thinks you dope, then just

375
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: be fine, like no fucks coming around, like Laura will

376
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: think I'm.

377
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: Fine, Like yeah, that's a different that's a different level

378
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 4: that we aspire to as kids, but as adults like yeah,

379
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 4: sh it is cool.

380
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we manage just as artists. Man, we just

381
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: sacrifice so much. We sacrifice time for my family, sacrifice

382
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: just you know, just not being in the right hand

383
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: space sometimes with people that we love, you know what

384
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Just because we so focused and if you

385
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: want to be great at this ship this ship is

386
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: like very tedious, is very takes a lot of hard work,

387
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: so you know when we get slighted, that's like a

388
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: big deal. It's like, you know, we have we have

389
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: some of the biggest egos in the world, so it's

390
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of like you know, and.

391
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 4: On top of that, like you even see albums that

392
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 4: you think are dope, then you're gonna sound like a.

393
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,239
Speaker 2: Hater if you're like, that's what I'm saying, like I can't.

394
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 4: And that's where that's where I feel for Walle when

395
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 4: that shit got leaked with Complex, when he was like,

396
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: you're about to tell me my album's not better than

397
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: Juicy J. And after that, while he looked like a

398
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 4: hater obviously while he loves Juicy J.

399
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: For sure, but you fall into that space.

400
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: And it's like, I'm not hating it, but y'all gotta

401
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: look me in my face tell me that y'all feel

402
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: like Juicy J, Juicy Jay's album was better.

403
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: Than mine, Like.

404
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: Damn with Juicy J, good to you, and it's like, no,

405
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: he didn't do anything to me. He put out a

406
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 3: good album, but y'all gonna tell me that my album

407
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: is not good. It's not at least as good as

408
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: So it's a weird space that I think artists fall in,

409
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 3: and not that you're looking for validation from anybody.

410
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 5: It's just it's just I just feel like underlying ship.

411
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 2: Yes, that's all. Yeah, I guess the theme was that

412
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: entire thing was.

413
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: I don't like flowers. Yeah, I don't like my ass kids,

414
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, is it? Is it about something else? It's

415
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: not that it's like proven work for sure. It's not

416
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: even validated. The work is validated right once I put

417
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: it out, it was validated. Everyone knows what this is.

418
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: But we can't all work in the same business and

419
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: not acknowledge what this entire thing is. So yeah, I

420
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: guess my question, which I can't answer, is what.

421
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 5: Is flowers and what is flowers?

422
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: Flowers is just to me, like I think flowers is.

423
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: Uh is you know, recognition, appreciation even just words like

424
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes just letting the artists know, like yo, fire,

425
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: I see artists that in passing.

426
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: We was in LA for BT weekend.

427
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 3: A couple of guys I've seen and I was just like, yo,

428
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: I like it, see what you're doing, Like.

429
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: That's flowers for sure? You know what I'm saying.

430
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, cool like guys that you feel

431
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: like have a certain taste level and and and you know,

432
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 3: have a certain level of what they expect from mcason

433
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 3: rappers when they recognize you, even if it's just adapt

434
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 3: in passing, like, Yo, I like what you're doing.

435
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: You sound good like to me.

436
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 3: That's what it is, just just to let let let

437
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 3: me know that I'm yah. Y'all hear me, and y'all

438
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: see me exactly, so you ain't even if you don't

439
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 3: put me on the list, but when you see me,

440
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: not put me on the list.

441
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, put me on your list because you heard

442
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: it and you you know, you felt some kind of

443
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: way when you heard it. Yeah, don't tell me I

444
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: ain't on the list, but the album is dope. Yeah,

445
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: like I yeah, put me on the list for that.

446
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 4: Then the catch twenty two on that is I've talked

447
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 4: to plenty of artists that get all the lists and

448
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: add that they don't get the sales that artists that

449
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: aren't on the list are getting.

450
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: They can't sell out of show a party.

451
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 4: They can't sell out a show the way an artist

452
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: that has never made a fucking list period, Like you know,

453
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 4: I always quote Fonte on Everything Record I loved on

454
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: their second album, I almost retired because I had more

455
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 4: press than sound Skin. I was the most revered on

456
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 4: every blog on earth, but nobody was buying my shit, Like, yeah,

457
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 4: stop stop revering me on the internet, like somebody buy

458
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 4: a fucking album, Doug.

459
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: But what that is, though, is that is like, what's

460
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: the disconnect and an artist being super dope, putting out

461
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 3: a great project, and then when it comes to these

462
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: quote unquote lists or these block these blogs or whatever

463
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: it may be, being left off of those, Like, what

464
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: is the disconnect?

465
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: It has to be personal relationships.

466
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: Sure, it has to be politics, it has to be

467
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 3: you know, because now it feels like then the people

468
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 3: that's creating these lists, whether they be you know, complex

469
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 3: or whatever, it's like, oh, because I don't know nobody

470
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: up there, I don't have a relationship with somebody up there.

471
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 3: They left me off this list, like because you're not

472
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: going to tell me these ten albums that you have

473
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 3: on this list are better than my album. So it

474
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: starts to feel like it's more politics, and it's more

475
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: shoulder rubbing and things like that, Like I got to

476
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: have a personal relationship with these people in these spaces.

477
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: But when did that become like something that stop giving

478
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: recognition to dope albums.

479
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, like, you know, I'm always creative first

480
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 4: artist side of everything, but you could say that about

481
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: literally every business in the United States, Like it is

482
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 4: politics no matter what on everything, whether no matter what

483
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: job you work, politics is going to somehow be involved.

484
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: In your rise and fall in what you're doing. Shit.

485
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 4: I think we are a very objective podcast, but there's

486
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 4: guests that will make priority over somebody else, Like now

487
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 4: we got people that we we fuck with personally. That's

488
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 4: just a human nature type of thing. And that's where

489
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: I feel for artists though, because that's where you need

490
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 4: a great manager like Hovain Rest in peace. I watched

491
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: Hovain's whole rise. I watched Hovain when I was working

492
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 4: from building the building. Hovein would be in every fucking building.

493
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: He would get to know every exec, everybody in market

494
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 4: and everybody is socials like he made sure even though

495
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 4: Troy did his own thing on the street team side.

496
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: Hovain was working.

497
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: He was rubbing shoulders and not in like a you know,

498
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: bowing down type of way, but he was networking in

499
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: a great way, and that's what helped Troy so much.

500
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: That's why Hoven ended up being so big and cinematic

501
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: music and everything. Like, artists do need that person because

502
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 4: that's no matter what we could pretend in fucking some

503
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 4: utopia that artists, if you make good music, it'll get

504
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: out there.

505
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: That's not the case.

506
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: Like, It's just I think in my story, like too,

507
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm not easily swayed, and I always ask questions, and

508
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: I think in this business too, that pisses a lot

509
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: of people off. So like if you can't like manipulate

510
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: me or like get me to do something I don't

511
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: want to do, like nah, fuck nigga, I ain't doing it.

512
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. So I mean, I

513
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: feel like that causes conflict or that that causes somebody

514
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: to keep distancing a way. Yeah, so yeah, I think

515
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: in my story that may be the case because it's like, nah,

516
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: you need to be like this. You had a lot

517
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: of people. I had a lot of people on my journey,

518
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: journey telling me I need to be like this, you

519
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: gotta be this big personality or you gotta do That's

520
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: not who I am.

521
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 5: I don't come from that.

522
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: That was part of the That was part of the

523
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 3: conversation that we had when we was in LA in

524
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 3: the studio events, and Vince was saying like, Man, don't

525
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: let them tell you you gotta do this and do that.

526
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: No, you don't.

527
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 3: Vince was like, I don't do none of that ship right,

528
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. He was like, I don't

529
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: do none of that. And I'm still, you know, selling

530
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 3: this and ticket sales here for a live show. Like

531
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: he was like, so, don't let them tell you got

532
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 3: to do that, because you know you.

533
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: Don't, do You remember what I said to Vince, though,

534
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: no everybody not you.

535
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, everybody's not Vince, everybody, but but Vince. He

536
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 3: built hisself to that. But he's always been kind of like,

537
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: I don't really fuck with all of that. That's always

538
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: been Vince's demeanor and his thing from day one was

539
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 3: like I'm not really into all that extra shit. Yeah,

540
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: and it works for him. It's like, Yo, you know

541
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 3: this is who I am. Either you love Ramona Park

542
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 3: broke my heart or you don't. You know what I'm saying, Like,

543
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: it is what it is. Either way, it's still available,

544
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: still out, and I think and I think it's dope.

545
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: So I think there is a space of politicking, relationship

546
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: building things like that. Those are those are important, but

547
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 3: those should never outweigh somebody's decision to hear a project

548
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: and be like, damn, that's fire just because I don't.

549
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 4: Notice artist personally. Oh, I mean, you know, I've never

550
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: been on that that. I'm the opposite of that. I

551
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 4: just don't think the rest of the media, the rest

552
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 4: of the world really works that way.

553
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: To be quite honest, I did not like you, and

554
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you all the time and still think

555
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: your shit is like crazy for sure, you know.

556
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 3: Sure, that's why when people like, oh you hate and

557
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: I laugh, I'm like, bro, I don't even know these

558
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 3: dudes personally, so I can't hate anybody person Like when

559
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 3: we was going through the whole me and Nick was

560
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: laughing about the whole shit last year, Rory.

561
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: You know, with the whole Drake Ken shit, Like Nigga

562
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 2: was one of.

563
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: The guys that would call me every day like, Yo,

564
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: these niggas think you the most hating ass nigga and

565
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 3: they don't really know, like deep down the side, you

566
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: don't give a fuck about none of these niggas and

567
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: it's real, like yoa I love the music, I don't

568
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: notice artist personally. Yeah, so it's never personal for me.

569
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: It's like, yo, I just I didn't like that. Oh

570
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 3: I do like this, but it has nothing to do

571
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: with the fact of yo, I know that person person,

572
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 3: which is why I don't understand these lists.

573
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, do you like the album or not.

574
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 4: But we have the freedom that our opinions on this

575
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: podcast are ours and yeah, I'll speak not for all podcasters,

576
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 4: but podcasting. That's kind of been the allure of the

577
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 4: entire thing. It felt like, Okay, finally we get in

578
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 4: some real takes from people that don't really have an

579
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 4: agenda or have anybody to you know, have to say

580
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: something for.

581
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 2: Now, you got to think about the list. Shit, let's

582
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 2: use complex.

583
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 4: What they used to do was have a whole boardroom,

584
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 4: fucking thirty writers all there trying to put one hundred

585
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 4: Albums of the Year list together. Every last person in

586
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 4: there has rent to pay, has bills to pay, Yeah,

587
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 4: has family shit going on in their life. So while

588
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 4: yes they are there for the period of music as

589
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 4: a as a young kid, they probably thought, you know,

590
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 4: I got my complex job.

591
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: All I did was love music my whole life. I

592
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 2: finally made it.

593
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, she is a little different when you know there

594
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 4: may be agenda in the building and something that you

595
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 4: bring up may have a certain level of an exact

596
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 4: staff look at you and say you not on the

597
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 4: same time. We on you're suggesting. Now you're just suggesting bullshit.

598
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 4: You not on the same page. We on you can't

599
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 4: come in this building and suggest that. I've worked corporate

600
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 4: before you. Many times I was quiet in certain times

601
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: where I was like I could say something that would

602
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 4: make a lot of fucking sense, but I know it

603
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 4: would fucking my job for sure, and my ass stag

604
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 4: dead quiet in that seat and was just like.

605
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: See, I got it. I gotta grow it up.

606
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna say something. Yeah, I don't like this ship, bro,

607
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: what you niggas in here doing?

608
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: But that I mean, you just gotta think. You gotta

609
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: think of.

610
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 4: The twenty two year old that this ship. The same

611
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 4: way you said and was like, you want to be

612
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 4: a rap. I want to get out of my situation

613
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: the best way possible. This is my dream job. I

614
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 4: can't wait to work at ninety seven. I can't wait

615
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 4: to work at death jam I can't wait to work

616
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 4: a complex and you.

617
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: Get that job.

618
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 4: Not everything is like the end of a movie script

619
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: where it's like, nah, fuck that real hip hop and

620
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: then they go out and start their new label. Right,

621
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 4: some people need that sixty five thousand dollars a year

622
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: and they're not about to compromise it over some rapper

623
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: they they don't even know and just like their music.

624
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: Right, So sometimes it's not real hip hop though. Sometimes

625
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: it's just some underlying bullshit the mof fuckages. It's corporate,

626
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: I get it, but it's like, man, what about integrity?

627
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 5: What about you know what?

628
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: I mean?

629
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: They don't care about that? No, no, they don't.

630
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean I'm learning learned, I've learned that now they

631
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: don't care about it.

632
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: But it's like, yeah, I got to care about mine?

633
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 3: What's that? Because you know I'm gonna ask you were

634
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 3: kicking it? We're just talking, but I already know a

635
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 3: lot of the answers to this ship.

636
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: But what is that like for you? Though?

637
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 3: Because I know how that's how we kind of aligned

638
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 3: and click was like we are moral compasses is kind

639
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: of in the same space, but as a as a

640
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 3: as an MC and as a rapper, like how do

641
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 3: you deal with that battle of being in those rooms

642
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: and knowing if you know, I part with my integrity

643
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: or if I kind of shift my moral compass a

644
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: little bit right here, this may further me in my career.

645
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 3: Like how do you fight that battle of doing that

646
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: versus like, Nah, I gotta be nick at the end

647
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: of the day.

648
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: I only do stuff that I want to do if

649
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable doing it.

650
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: You know, I'm all in.

651
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: But if my spirit don't agree with it, even even

652
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: a little bit, we can talk about it. We have

653
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: a conversation about it always, But if my spirit don't

654
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: agree with it a hundred percent, I'm not going. Yeah,

655
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: I just can't do it. Yeah, I can't, no matter

656
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: how much money. I always been like this.

657
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 4: Like as there been examples, I mean, you have to

658
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 4: get in like super details to expose any specific people

659
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 4: or anything.

660
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want family. So no, I prefer.

661
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 4: Some examples throughout your career because you've been in so

662
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: many different situations, so many different management teams and yeah

663
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 4: around you, what are some examples of that?

664
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 5: Some examples of that would be.

665
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: All right.

666
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 5: So I had I had I had a situation where.

667
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,480

685
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,920

Speaker 3: Nigga got mighty. I don't give a fuck. What is

701
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: it like for a young Nick Grant or artist to

702
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: be on tour with like a Nas and Laura Hill? Like,

703
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,080

00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: like or just life?

705
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: Like, what is it? What are some of those conversations

706
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: you had with Nas while on the road with him? Man?

707
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: When I think I told this story with your last time,

708
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: when he shock was like, yeah, NAS is gonna pull up.

709
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: And NAS actually pulled up with the Hennessy and we

710
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: just talked about bullshit all day long.

711
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: Who was dope? Who was whack? You know who you

712
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: said was whack? Though?

713
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: Because I know you, because that's sometimes I'll be talking

714
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: to Nick. I'm like, yo, I like this little nigga,

715
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 3: Nick like Na, he whack. I'd be like, so, who

716
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: are you telling Nas? Like he was telling me. He

717
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: was telling me who whack? So I can't really yeah,

718
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I was just listening because

719
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: I ain't really know him like that, so I'm like,

720
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to say too much to throw him off. Yeah,

721
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: but when he was talking to me, it was like

722
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: everybody he thought was was whack. Did he say somebody

723
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: was whacked that you thought was nice? Because that's the

724
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: thing like when one of your favorite MC's thinks somebody

725
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: is whack and you think they're nice, it's like damn.

726
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: Like all right, Nah, we shared the same sentiment. Okay,

727
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: I thought he was I thought I thought the dude

728
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: was whack too.

729
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: Okay. It broke my heart when Nas got on the

730
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: radio and this Nori. I was like, I love Nor.

731
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 4: And on top of that, I loved all the Angie

732
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: Martinez songs that were out remember that.

733
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: Power, Yeah, absolutely absolutely. I was like, damn, my favorite rapper, Angie.

734
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: I like your songs.

735
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said Noorri, step your rap game up Hot

736
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 4: ninety seven, stop having your host rap. I was like, oh,

737
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: because at that point, I don't think we had heard

738
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 4: like a rapper going a rant like that before outside

739
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: of park maybe right, but I was too young for that.

740
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 4: That was my first time, like, oh, rappers do this

741
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 4: for real?

742
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like so what is that? What is that like

Speaker 3: was a great moment. That's like it made it exciting.

756
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:45,640

Speaker 1: it was a dope moment.

767
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 3: Now, you spend some time around the TD camp, like

768
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: a lot of people probably don't know that was.

769
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: What was that time?

770
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,680

778
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: so much love for Punch, Like Punch was one of them.

779
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: He's another person that's like knows my people, like my family,

780
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: Like when they come to l A, I'm like, yeah,

781
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: we're going to punch outs.

782
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 5: So he like super cool opened his doors to me.

783
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: Like and I'm a person that's like fuck music, this

784
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: is my guy, you know, and you my guy for

785
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: life after that, no matter what what happened. So yeah,

786
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: So he was the person and I think the first

787
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: person to reach out after I dropped the project was

788
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: like Kendrick and I just always respected his pan. I

789
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: always got love for k Doc even for that because

790
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: most people run from this, not even hyping myself up

791
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: like I'm the greatest motherfucker in the world, but most

792
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: people run from me. So when he was talking to me,

793
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: he was talking to me crazy, like, Yo, when we

794
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: do a record, I ain't holding no punches.

795
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 5: I'm gonna kick your ass, you know.

796
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: So I'm like, Okay, it's gonna be the fighter your

797
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: motherfucking life right right.

798
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 5: But that's how MC's talked.

799
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: But I always always had love and respect for him

800
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: since since day one. That's one of the greatest to

801
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: ever do.

802
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 2: It for sure.

803
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: Uh, do you feel like that would have helped, maybe

804
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 4: like earlier in your career, not to where where you're

805
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 4: at now, because I think you found peace in your

806
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 4: lane and what you're trying to do. But having that

807
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 4: click of a bunch of MC's that you grew up

808
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 4: with that were together on the same label, the way

809
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 4: TDE came up with ab J Rock school Boy eventually

810
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 4: and Kendrick, you think that would have helped.

811
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: Hell, yeah, you know, just that that claw of just

812
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: elite rappers. I think if it was, if it was

813
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: done the way that I perceived it, it would have been,

814
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: it would have it would have been great for me

815
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: and and and growing.

816
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: And you know, why didn't you sign with TV?

817
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: I think it was going away from the agenda that

818
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: I was trying to that I that I had for myself,

819
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: the plan that I have for myself. Punch Punch had

820
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: a he got a group, got a group now called

821
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: Room full of Mirrors, and you know, I shout out

822
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: to them, to real dope, cruel artists, but it was like,

823
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, I was just artist that already had like

824
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: LPs out and I was like trying to stay on

825
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: the path of that.

826
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 5: And I found myself like focusing.

827
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: More on on that then, you know, and people not

828
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: not people knowing me more for this. But it was

829
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: like so such a big, such a big break in

830
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: between putting out my own material, and I felt like

831
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: I was losing maybe it maybe it was my own insecurities,

832
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: but I felt like I was like losing a grip

833
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: on the thing that I was trying to push and

834
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: push forward.

835
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: So would you ever entertain another deal in that capacity?

836
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: No, I'm extremely happy right now, Like I just like

837
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: the way my life is set up. I like my

838
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: I never had a routine in life. I get up

839
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: and jog and I kind of just do do what

840
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: I want every day. You know, I'm with my kid

841
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: every day. So I'm like, go in the room, put

842
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: them to sleep, right the rhyms. It's less headache, it's

843
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: less like you know, it's less stress for me right now.

844
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: So I'm like, that's the best way to create. That's

845
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: the best way to put out material.

846
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: Yo.

847
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 3: And Nick's son, whenever he says d m X, he starts, no, it's.

852
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 3: crazy ship with your kids. You don't teach him a

00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 3: single thing. Was like, where the you learned that?

854
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: I said that ship? I was like DMX and he growled.

00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, what the fun because we have like,

890
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Man, that ship was tough, bro, because I started thinking about,

891
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: like my daddy, you know what I'm saying. So just

892
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: thinking about stuff that he we did, and we used

893
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: to hang out. My dad wasn't the best dad. He

894
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: was always in and out. But my dad was wow,

895
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: wow hood nigga. Man, you know what I'm saying. He

896
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 1: had me out with the MD twenty twenty. I said

897
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: that in the wrap with the MD twenty twenty, drinking

898
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: MD twenty twenty.

899
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: Dad, you want to mix Mad Dog twenty twenty and

900
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 2: Wild Irish.

901
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 5: Rose together together trying to make a bomb.

902
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 4: No, When you said the MD twenty to I was

903
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 4: like yo, I felt somethings like yo, other people drink

904
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 4: mad Yeah for sure, so Boone's farm.

905
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 2: My mom would give me a little that.

906
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the ship. Now you give you that

907
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: ship to me in the cup. I'm passed out thirty minutes.

908
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, take me home. So like,

909
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: as I'm pinning this shit, I'm thinking, like, because I

910
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: should be hard on him as I.

911
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 5: Got, Oh, the motherfucker you ain't.

912
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

913
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: So now once I have my kid, I'm like, man,

914
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: he got he had his own ship going, he had

915
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: his own issues, he had his own problem. So once

916
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: you start looking at him like a human. You know

917
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, its as opposed to this person that's

918
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: supposed to do everything for Yeah, you know what I'm saying,

919
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: superhero type shit. I learned how to like look at

920
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: it from a different perspective through my son. So it

921
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: became like, you know, closed chapter because I did it.

922
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,479
Speaker 1: I did it on the last album, but I felt

923
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: like it wasn't enough because I had more shit to

924
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: get out. That's why it's like, yeah, I'm gonna put

925
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: this on this album to I'm gonna give him something.

926
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, you know, just learning a lot about

927
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: me and my dad's relationship through me and my son's relationship,

928
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: So it was like it's like closure for me.

929
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, where are you at? I want to word this correctly,

930
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 4: but I don't really give a fuck how they interpreted.

931
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 2: Where are you on.

932
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 4: Raising your sons the most healthy, the most healthy way possible,

933
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 4: and where that may deter his ambition in life.

934
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 5: Man, that's a great question because.

935
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 4: I know we have to raise our kids in the

936
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 4: best environment possible, no matter what, make sure every last

937
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 4: thing they do is amazing, take care of every last bit.

938
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 5: I think.

939
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: I think for me, it started with myself and like

940
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: just cleansing all of my insecurities and all my trauma.

941
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: Try my best to do it. I still I'm not perfect,

942
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: but just trying my best to do that. Ship and

943
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: you know, and whatever I'm learning about myself what to

944
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: do or not to do, I'm applying that and how

945
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: we how we live day to day. Yeah, and whatever

946
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: he gravitates towards, I support him.

947
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 5: But you know, his mom is like.

948
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: She different. We come from different two different you know,

949
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: spectrums of life. So it's like a whole different thing.

950
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: And I'm learning stuff through her too. So on with him,

951
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: I think it's dope. Every morning he like prioritizes a book,

952
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: Like he'll get up and drag the book and then

953
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,479
Speaker 1: he'll get up and I read the book to me. Yeah,

954
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: even if I'm like I got you just give me

955
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: a second.

956
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me get up and wake up and then.

957
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: Flip these pages. He'll flip the pages for you. So yeah,

958
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: so I think that was dope. So I was like

959
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: it kind of got me in a routine for him,

960
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: like through his mom doing certain shit and you know,

961
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna make

962
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: it easier for him day to day, like a come on,

963
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: watch this, come on, let's do this, let's do this,

964
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: let's have the fun. But that's cool. But it's like

965
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: structure is the most important thing, and you know she

966
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: was raised a certain a different way than me. If

967
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: she's applying that and I'm watching that too, and I'm like, Okay,

968
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: this is really how it's supposed to be done. Yeah,

969
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

970
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 3: But I mean that's dope though, to kind of like

971
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: have that moment through having a kid and you know,

972
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: having a great mom for sure, great mom and her

973
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 3: instill in that structure and things like this, things you

974
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 3: probably didn't have growing up. But then it's like, okay,

975
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: like you're watching her as a mom, Like I like

976
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 3: the fact that she's given my son that like every

977
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 3: morning he grabs a book first man, and he wants

978
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: to read and the like you need those moments of okay,

979
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 3: Like you know what I'm saying, Like we gotta I'm

980
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 3: a sprinkle some of mins in them, Like Mom's definitely

981
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: some of my ship too.

982
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 2: Just think you should burn off books and not feed

983
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: your child.

984
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 4: I'm suggesting that I want to give my daughter everything

985
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 4: in the world, but is that going to hinder her

986
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 4: progress when she gets older?

987
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,200

Speaker 1: but I moved to Atlanta when I was seven years old,

1087
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: and when I moved to Atlanta, I moved to his

1088
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: neck of the woods. So that's all they played, you

1089
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And it was at Alliens, it

1090
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: was Southern playeristic h motherfucker Quemini. All this shit was

1091
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: like the soundtrack to my life at that point. And

1092
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: if you know anything about Old National in nineteen ninety five,

1093
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: it was like the hub for like culture, especially Atlantic

1094
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: culture of course. But yeah, he was like so to

1095
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: meet him, all this stuff plays into my mom like

1096
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 1: how I lived and the stuff that I was going through,

1097
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: and it's like, motherfucker drop almost dropped a tear in there.

1098
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: So the second time I meet him, he's like bowing, like, man,

1099
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't write it. I couldn't write a verse.

1100
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 2: You know.

1101
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: I write a bet you'll force me to write a

1102
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: better verse. And I'm like me, that's crazy. Yeah, like

1103
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: a right, they start getting my I feel like I

1104
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: helped hard over.

1105
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, yo, this is crazy.

1106
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, like all of the all of the older guys,

1107
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: like they respect me in that way because I'm you know,

1108
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: I'm just a product of everything that Dave put out.

1109
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

1110
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: I studied all of these guys. You know, I put

1111
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: I always put me.

1112
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,959
Speaker 1: I always put money to the back and put music

1113
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: and study in first because I always was always was

1114
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 1: told that you know, the money comes when you just focus. Yeah,

1115
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:20,919
Speaker 1: and it's almost been ten years for me and I'm

1116
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: still well. You know they say they say that's the year.

1117
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 2: Ten years at it, ten years doing something for it

1118
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: to really take off. You know, you look at it.

1119
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 3: My brother hip Hop, he has this song what I

1120
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 3: call a hip hop Bible. Yeah, and he's he's he

1121
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 3: broke down literally every rapper. It's I was telling worry

1122
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 3: about this. It's the crazy shit I've ever seen. He

1123
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 3: took every rapper, every MC ever and he has it

1124
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 3: from the year that they were born the year they

1125
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 3: dropped their first i think single or album.

1126
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 2: It's crazy and.

1127
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 3: It literally is like you can see the ten years

1128
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 3: like from when it took off, Like you can see

1129
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 3: it like, yo, this is when this out did this

1130
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 3: single drop. That's when his career took off. And it's

1131
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 3: like I'm looking at it. And the one person who

1132
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 3: has probably the most unique timeline is Jay because Jay

1133
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 3: was introduced with Caine in eighty eight. Wow, so he

1134
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 3: has it like Jay was really supposed to take off,

1135
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 3: you know, sooner than he took off.

1136
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 2: If you look at it, the ten year thing.

1137
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 3: And it's like, I'm glad you said that Jay lived.

1138
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 3: So Jay literally his ten thousand hours like it's happening

1139
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 3: like in real time, like he's supposed to have been

1140
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 3: took off. So it was so interestant seeing that and

1141
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, damn. But so it's a real thing when

1142
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: you say ten years, like say ten years, ten years,

1143
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 3: and that's you know, all creatives need to understand that,

1144
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 3: like you gotta put that time in, you got put

1145
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 3: the energy because the greats just because when you saw

1146
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 3: them take off, don't mean that they ain't been doing

1147
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 3: this for ten twelve. Yeah, Like you know what I'm saying,

1148
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 3: They've been doing this shit so and even before that,

1149
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 3: before we even doing before.

1150
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 2: That, you know what I'm saying.

1151
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 3: So you know, with you, Nick, I remember hearing you,

1152
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 3: you know, years ago, and then seeing you on all

1153
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 3: the radio stations, whether it was in Atlanta it was

1154
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 3: SAHA and Gez, you know what I'm saying, or whether

1155
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 3: it's would sway like you've always been. Anytime I would

1156
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 3: see you online, I would say, all right, let me

1157
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 3: hear what Nick doing, and I would click it and

1158
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 3: you can hear the progression. You can hear the bars

1159
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 3: getting better, you could hear the flow change, and you

1160
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 3: can hear the content changing. Where you are now, Sunday

1161
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 3: dinner to me bona fide classic. I think if anybody

1162
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 3: found you during Sunday dinner, if that was anybody's first

1163
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 3: time hearing Nick Grant, it would be hard for them

1164
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:53,959
Speaker 3: not to love you as an m C and this rapper,

1165
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,959
Speaker 3: because that's some of the best rapping and m seeing.

1166
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 3: I think that, you know, especially in these times, it's

1167
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 3: hard to really find that where it's like, this ain't

1168
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 3: no machine, This ain't no you know, dress it up

1169
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 3: and make it sound good so it goes everywhere. You know,

1170
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 3: this is skill set, these are bars, these are flows,

1171
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 3: these is like, this is real, a real hip hop

1172
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 3: consumer's dream. It's like going to the record store and

1173
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 3: going through the vinyls and finding something like, oh, yes,

1174
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 3: this is what the type of ship I've been looking for. No,

1175
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 3: for sure, now what I took it personally?

1176
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 2: That too?

1177
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 3: You again, you said earlier you experimented a little bit

1178
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 3: different this one. You wanted to change the sounds a

1179
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 3: little bit. Are you happy with where it landed as

1180
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 3: a as a final product?

1181
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Absolutely. I think it's a good continuation of Sunday Dinner.

1182
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: But I didn't want to give the people such a

1183
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: heavy album again. I wanted to give them something like, yeah,

1184
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 1: let's dance a little bit this time, because man, I

1185

00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: you so much heavy ship.

1188
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 2: It's like, but it's real.

1189
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: It's definitely real ship, and it's it's some real ship

1190
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: on here too, for sure. But it's like, let's dance

1191
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. We'll get back to this for sure,

1192
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: But to continuously do that, at least for me, it'll

1193
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: put you in a dark place. Yeah, And let me

1194
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: just you know, as you know, I'm always happy. I'm like, hey,

1195
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: you know one of them things like I don't like

1196
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: being down. I don't like if you If you want

1197
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 1: to be great at telling your story, you gotta be

1198
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,359

1201
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: My family is older, so I go home and just

1202
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: listen to a lot of those conversations. I just fly

1203
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: home from LA. That's a long way just to hear conversations,

1204
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: just to hear, just to hear certain people talk. For

1205
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: that album, and it's like a right, this is why

1206
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: people love it because it's like it's another level of

1207
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: like being in tune. But it's like, man, this ship

1208
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: is like there's some good moments too, Like my family's

1209
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 1: like my mom is the second youngest of fifteen kids,

1229
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 2: you know.

1230
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,640

00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: like translate the ship into music. But I don't want

1232
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: to do that ship again right now. I give you

1233
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,200

Speaker 3: as dope as you, prove it, get in the booth.

1390
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,440

1391
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what That's what I'm you know. It's hard

1392
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 5: for me to like do this because people feel.

1393
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Like trying to be all right, the objective fan.

01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: a couple of shots.

1402
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 4: Why I picked you over Jid is I've been a

1403
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 4: Jid fan for a long time. But it's always been

1404
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 4: off music. He raps really well and makes really good

1405
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 4: songs and knows how to blend into a song while

1406
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 4: rapping really well, which is probably the hardest thing to

1407
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 4: do on fucking Earth.

1408
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 2: I've seen you do that.

1409
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 4: Plus I've been a fan of just your freestyle destroy

1410
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 4: everything for a decade. Jid has done that before, but

1411
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 4: probably not the same clip as you. But I've also

1412
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 4: never seen either of you in a battle. So now

1413
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 4: I'm sitting here like I don't even know who I

1414
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 4: would pick because I've never seen either of y'all.

1415

1466
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,240

1467
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: I want to I don't.

1468
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 5: I don't want to rap beef with the nigga. Just like,

1469
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 5: let's go back and forth and forth on the verse.

1470
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 2: What do you think would be more valuable? Let's say, Jid,

1471
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 2: for example, since we just you know, joking around with that, HM,

1472
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 2: would y'all want to get on a record together? We

1473
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 2: did that already, I know. But I'm saying with this

1474
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 2: type of scenario, he never read it out. Did it

1475
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 2: come out? No? See, I don't like that. It's not fair.

1476
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 2: Why how to be objective? Yeah, Jid? Something I mean

1477
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 2: with labels? What's going on with his rollout and ship?

1478
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 2: Like I'm saying, it's Jim's fault.

1479
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, if if if if two dope rappers,

1480
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 3: two dope mcs have a record together and it don't

1481
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 3: come out, I don't like that it didn't come out.

1482
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm not saying a man I agree. I'm saying Jid

1483
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 2: stopped it from coming out here, but you never know

1484
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 2: how that should. That may not be like a thing

1485
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 2: Jid did, is what I'm saying.

1486
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he did. I'm saying I don't like

1487
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 3: the fact that we haven't heard that. Okay, that's the

1488
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 3: ship that have no I've heard it, That's what I'm saying.

1489
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 5: I don't like that I ain't heard it since we

1490
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 5: did it.

1491
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 2: Oh, you didn't get a bounce the song.

1492
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 5: The song wasn't even finished.

1493
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I get that, but I mean I

1494
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 2: mean he said he was going to do finish it later, okay,

1495
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 2: and we never got it. We never got it, Okay.

1496
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 3: Well I like that.

1497
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 4: See what Jid notoriously takes his time with everything. That's

1498
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 4: like a very known thing cool scenes like Ji takes

1499
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 4: his time.

1500
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 2: I respect that. So I'm say pop consumer and if

1501
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 2: you say, yo, man, finish my quaes.

1502
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 4: What what Joey and they like praying all them you

1503
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 4: would you rather do that or would you rather just

1504
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 4: get on one record together.

1505
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 2: And see who could? I want to do that.

1506
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 5: I want to do what they were doing. Okay, I

1507
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 5: want to do with him. I want to do what

1508
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 5: they was doing.

1509
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 2: What do y'all think is more valuable at this point monetarily?

1510
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 1: I think I think what they was doing was what's

1511
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: better monetarily, opportunity wise, like, and it's people that's never

1512
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: heard of Rayvaughn facts.

1513
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying he didn't get that r C

1514
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: A deal because of that, but definitely, yeah, for sure.

1515
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: And he's super smart for like engaging in that. But yeah,

1516
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: like I think I think that helped. I think that

1517
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: created like, oh, this is a new phase, this is

1518
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: a new even. I think it even helped Daylight.

1519
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

1520
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

1521
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 4: This is gonna hurt me to say because I'm here

1522
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 4: to be objective. I think the only person that lost

1523
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 4: some of lore on that entire thing was Daylight.

1524
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 5: No, he definitely lost. He lost, for sure, But as as.

1525
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 4: Like me had Daylight Alien you're up here. That was

1526
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 4: the first time I felt like daylight was human.

1527
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 5: I think it translates different on beachs.

1528
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 2: But I've heard daylight rap.

1529
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 4: We said before the whole thing popped off, I always

1530
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 4: felt surf in daylight with the two best battle rappers

1531
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 4: on beats, like I've heard daylight smoke some ship mm

1532
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 4: hm for sure that was I was shocked that it

1533
01:08:58,680 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 4: went that way.

1534
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 2: I wasn't okay.

1535
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I think it's just I think when you're battling, it's

1536
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: just not cerebral. I just think it's like all style,

1537
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I think I think a nigga in

1538
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: the corner cracking jokes has more experience in a battle

1539
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: than somebody who's super cerebral.

1540
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,679
Speaker 4: Why do you think it's different now with fifty doing

1541
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 4: how to rob? And what was that ninety nine two

1542
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 4: thousand to now, if you just wanted to actually tonight,

1543
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 4: if you just win this studio and disjid with no

1544
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 4: real issue at all, just for the sport of it,

1545
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 4: you'd be looked at as a.

1546
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 2: Cloud chaser for sure.

1547
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 4: What happened in rap where that was the case, because

1548
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 4: everyone you should just shoot each other with no reason

1549
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 4: to shoot.

1550
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: Everybody want to participation in trophy. You know what I'm saying,

1551
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: everybody just want to.

1552
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 2: You know, when did that stop?

1553
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: That's the only people why I've been holding back from

1554
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people because I'm like, I don't want

1555
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: to be looked at as that guy. I still gotta like,

1556
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and I'm not going to

1557
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: let this person you know, highlight what I'm doing.

1558
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. It just got to make sense.

1559
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 5: That makes sense. That's not just him, that's anybody.

1560
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 2: I mean, even with everything now, we get so much information.

1561
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.

1562
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 4: I don't think it'd be weird if two rappers agreed

1563
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 4: because we know what the Joey thing was behind the scenes.

1564
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 4: For the most part, everyone knew what type of time

1565
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 4: it was. It's not gonna get violent, like we really

1566
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 4: just doing this for sport. Why couldn't you and Jid again,

1567
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 4: for example, tell the world like, yeah, now we cool.

1568
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 4: We just decided today we just want to rap against

1569
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:42,680
Speaker 4: each other, Like why can't that happen? Why would the

1570
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 4: public look at that weird? Like yo, y'all doing weird shit.

1571
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 2: No, we just both think we could rap, and we

1572
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 2: decided today that we was gonna rap.

1573
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 3: Well, because now it's it's you know, the beef or

1574
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 3: battle is looked at like a rollout or like a clout.

1575
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 2: Where have y'all been Listen? I told if we go

1576
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 2: back to the first hip hop record, it might be

1577
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 2: a disrecord. Did you guys just show up here the

1578
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 2: first hip hop.

1579
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 3: Record, the MC might be thising somebody on that ship.

1580
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 3: You might be thising another's that's the way. That's the

1581
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 3: foundation of this thing.

1582
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 2: That's what it is.

1583
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: What's wrong with that? It's nothing wrong. It's this new

1584
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: generation of insecurities. Insecurities, you know what I'm saying. Like

1585
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 1: people like the ego is like it's different now, it's

1586
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: before social media. It's not constantly in your face. If

1587
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: a nigga win, you know what I'm saying, they posting

1588
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: that for hours. You can't even do the thing that

1589
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: you're addicted to. You can't even look at it, like

1590
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm caught up, Like this is how they viewing me.

1591
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: You think, and you think it's the end of the world.

1592
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Just as a rapper, you think it's the end of

1593
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: the world. When you lose, you know what I'm saying,

1594
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: And then you got somebody telling you every second that

1595
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: you lost.

1596
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 2: It's tough.

1597
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 4: I mean, but I've only seen that happen twice in

1598
01:11:55,920 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 4: my entire life. M hmm, Traking, Kendrick, joh Ruling fifty cent.

1599
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 4: And by the way, all four of those people are

1600
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 4: doing completely fucking fine.

1601
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, what moment, it ain't cool. Yeah, I get it.

1602
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 2: I'm just saying everybody's fine.

1603
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, it depends on what you.

1604
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean.

1605
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 4: The John fifty ship is. I'm just about the rap ship. Yeah,

1606
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 4: getting with you, Joe is doing fine. If you knew

1607
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 4: what John got for a fee to do a show. Yeah,

1608
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 4: like when he got killed, he lost it. Yeah, absolutely,

1609
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 4: his career was over.

1610
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 2: Yeah that's hilarious.

1611
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, but nah, and you see, I mean ship. I

1612
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 4: thought Ray lost that to Joey Badass again. I think

1613
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 4: Ray put his his hours in the r C A

1614
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 4: doal TD relationship. I don't think it's just the battle,

1615
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 4: but look what came out of it.

1616
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 2: Rain fucking lose right now for sure? For sure?

1617
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 4: And even with Jid, Like again, we're just using this

1618
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 4: as an example. He putting his single while with Offset.

1619
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 4: Let's say he lost, JA wouldn't fucking lose.

1620
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 2: He's Jid. He makes great music. Hmm.

1621
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 4: I think that would just bring more hype around what

1622
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 4: was going on. No one is doubting Jid's pen No,

1623
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 4: Like I'm not talking.

1624
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 2: About Nick versus.

1625
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say rapper, but yeah, like that, you

1626
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 3: know somebody that could rap. You're not gonna lose. Yeah,

1627
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 3: I think it's it's a lot. It depends on how

1628
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 3: you looking at it. You're gonna lose, but you're not

1629
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 3: gonna lose like when I'm kicking ass. Yeah yeah shit,

1630
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 3: you know like if he got me and he kicked

Speaker 3: my ass, but you're and that hurts. That's a that's

1632
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 3: a whole nother thing like as artists that people were,

1633
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 3: at least me, like, yeah, I had a homeboy man

1634
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,920

1637
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 3: like we will always go back and forth, but he

1638
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 3: was like ready every day.

1639
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, we got a battle. He checked me

1640
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: on my ship. Yeah, last time we battle, I got him.

1641
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 1: But he was the guy that made me like super sharp,

1642
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 1: like young, and I just think, man, you know we

Speaker 1: just rap, bro.

1645
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 2: But that's that's actually the only good thing about this

1646
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:15,760
Speaker 2: Microwave era.

1647
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:19,640

1650
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,320

01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,920

Speaker 4: Well, can I can I see how deep the lyricism

1693
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 4: rabbit hole goes down? I came up with a segment

1694
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 4: while you were on your way.

1695
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 5: Man, it don't make me feel like I don't know ship.

1696
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:40,679
Speaker 2: No, it's gonna be great.

1697
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 4: Me and P's were kicking it trying to trying to

1698
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 4: think of a segment. I'm not gonna say that Chad

1699
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 4: JBT helped us out, but maybe they did. So we

1700
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 4: came up with this idea of bars versus Yelp.

1701
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, bars versus yeo?

1702
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,560
Speaker 4: Can you decide if this is a rap bar or

1703
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 4: if this is a YELP review? Is how our segment

1704
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 4: is gonna go here?

1705
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I might get all of these wrong, because this

1706
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 3: is gonna be funny though, because if I feel like

1707
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 3: a bar is a Yelp review, that's fucking hilarious.

1708
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:18,160

Speaker 4: the schemes on certain ship. But no, I mean that

1893
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 4: I would write that in a heart beat. You never

1894
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 4: felt that way, for sure. But at the same time

1895

Speaker 2: I have been to restaurants to smell.

1901
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 3: Let me take that because this could be a hotel review.

1902
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:22,839
Speaker 3: That could be a club review too. The room smelled

1903
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 3: like No, it's the room.

1904
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 2: So that's like a hotel room, like Broken dream private

1905
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 2: room or restaurant.

01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 3: gonna say that's a bar.

1908
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say that's a Yelp review.

1909
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 2: Most correct. That's Freddy gets Scotty Bean. There you go.

Speaker 2: The room smell like Broken dreams of Champagne. All right.

1911
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 4: The next one is is a little easy, but it's

Speaker 4: my lap.

1914
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,599
Speaker 2: Look, it might be turf for the tech in my lap.

1915
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 2: That might be the hardest one.

1916
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 4: I don't know that that is in fact a Yelp

1917

Speaker 4: No, but it's funny the yelp reviews that I left off.

1926
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 4: This is a lot of men bragging about what they

1927
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 4: did for their bitches.

1928
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:35,360

1932
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 4: lines in some of these Yelp reviews.

1933
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 2: You know, I need these in a in a book though.

Speaker 4: the easiest one.

1957
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 3: That don't count scallops anytime. Scallops that where to die for.

1958
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:10,519
