00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 6: at the same time, you know what I'm saying, Like

110
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,040

Speaker 6: I want to make sure we do stuff in posts

114
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 6: E trusting me really, like certain times I wanted to

115
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 6: take stuff away or reorganize something because I just felt

116
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 6: like I was rapping and I couldn't compliment those particular

117
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 6: hats or I had a hat pattern like him allowing

118
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 6: me to tinker in the record making process, not just

119
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 6: respecting me, you know, andto being just the MC, but

120
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 6: allow me to make the best records that I could,

121
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 6: to compliment the productions.

122
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: For sure, for sure. Man, So I'm gonna go through

123
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: each one of these songs. Man, I want you each

124
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: to explain ain't me. You know, I've heard the records already,

125
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: but the people out there obviously hasn't. I'm gonna go

126
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: directly the number two to cancel these nuts. What does

127
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: cancel these nuts about?

128
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: Man?

129
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: The title track?

130
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 5: Cancel these nets?

131
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 6: So it was funny because I think that's like self stated,

132
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 6: you feel me. But to me, honestly, it's a lot

133
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 6: richer than most people.

134
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 5: Cancel these nuts.

135
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: To me is like.

136
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 6: I feel like the industry make a lot of artists,

137
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, The powers that be, the

138
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 6: the finance, the Wealth Department makes a lot of artists.

139
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 6: So like they can cancel them. They make you, they

140
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 6: could break you. I always felt like I was always

141
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 6: self made from the first day to the last name,

142
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, not self made.

143
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 5: Olivia made me.

144
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 6: But like as far as artistry didn't know, power structure

145
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 6: decided I was gonna be it. Matter of fact, they

146
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 6: fought me tooth and nail the whole time, trying to

147
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 6: stop me from being it. And I'm still I still

148
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 6: end up becoming it, you know what I'm saying. So

149
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 6: cancel these nehsing is my attitude that I'm gonna say

150
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: whatever I want to say, and really there's nothing nobody

151
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 6: can really do about it, you.

152
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.

153
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 6: There's no nothing nobody can do. You know what I mean,

154
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 6: because none of you motherfuckers made me.

155
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

156
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 6: Period, It's something that God did himself, I mean, and

157
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 6: my parents.

158
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: So this is what it's all about.

159
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you look at the culture and the climate

160
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: that we're in right now, it's really like that time. Man,

161
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: Like if you saw what they did. I know it's

162
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: a touchy subject, but if you saw what they did.

163
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: R Kelly for example, Yeah, he did some stuff that

164
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: wasn't cool, but it was a whole lot of people

165
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: that needed to be held accountable in that mix too,

166
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: and they just pretty much ruined that. Man.

167
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, Mark Kelly's situation is unique because really,

168
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 6: you know, if he committed a crime like any other criminal,

169
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 6: I understand, you know why they have a you know,

170
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 6: a penal system to try to keep balance subject, you

171
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, And I don't want without throwing

172
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 6: any other anybody else under the bus. I don't think

173
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 6: that's the most important part. But they made R Kelly

174
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 6: so they break they could break R Kelly. They made

175
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 6: it so they could break it.

176
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: And that's what I see, and that's what I mean

177
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: in his case. Right to me, it was a thing

178
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: to where everybody was just kind of moved away from him.

179
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: Didn't nobody want to be around him, didn't nobody want

180
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: them to backlash to go on them, nobody wanted to

181
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: suffer none of that heat. So it was like kind

182
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, we gonna throw him down the well.

183
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, And it's funny because he did so much

184
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: for everybody, you know what I mean. And but that's

185
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 6: how it go I mean, man, that's why I run

186
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 6: these niggas off the block anyway, you know what I mean.

187
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 6: I don't let them be next to me anyway. I

188
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 6: don't let him absorb my energy. I don't let him

189
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 6: absorb my power. I don't let them I don't let

190
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 6: him be around me, you know what I mean, Because

191
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 6: I always already know, like when it goes down, it

192
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 6: ain't no friends. So we're not gonna fake like we're

193
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 6: friends now. You know, maybe we could do some music,

194
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 6: you know, maybe we could do something, But the people

195
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 6: that fuck with me.

196
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 5: They fuck with me right now.

197
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: So that's all it is exactly, man, Because we are

198
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: living in you know, it's supposed it's to a certain level.

199
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: We're supposed to have freedom of speech, right, but that

200
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: seems to have been thrown out the window nowadays. It's like,

201
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: if you see the thing about the wrong person, you

202
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: could be in a lot of trouble.

203
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 6: Well you got the freedom, you know what I mean.

204
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 6: Just come with consequence, you know what I'm saying. And

205
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 6: to me, that's what cancel these nets the whole album,

206
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. First track on down is

207
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 6: about is regardless of the consequence, you know what I mean.

208
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 5: I'm not looking to make friends now.

209
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: EP, you are well reserved, brother, man, do you need

210
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: to records scare you?

211
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: I understand freedom of speech. I understand freedom of speech.

212
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: I agree with with the records, you know what I mean.

213
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 4: I agree with with telling our songs.

214
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: Mmm.

215
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: So they were funny to me, you know what I mean,

216
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: It's like, all right, well let's go.

217
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 6: I just think like a lot of it, a lot

218
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 6: of it was just really being funny, man, Like as

219
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 6: serious as subject matters, or it was meant to be funny.

220
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: It's all funny, you know what, man, And it's going

221
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: on around like time can be flying. Gee, do you

222
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: realize how long then you've been messing with each other?

223
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: Dog?

224
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 5: Over twenty years now?

225
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: Was crazy?

226
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 6: I was thinking, it's crazy. So it's been eight years

227
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 6: since I released my last album. Glass House two was

228
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 6: like my tenth project. This makes my eleventh project, so

229
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 6: I can put out Glasshouse two in twenty fifteen. And

230
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 6: what really happened was in two, let's say twenty thirteen,

231
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 6: I started to kind of fall down this this this

232
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 6: this this uh, this rabbit hole of hip hop and records,

233
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 6: you know. And I started off with records, you know,

234
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 6: just that journey of understanding what records are about the

235
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 6: science of communicating through songs, you know, I mean because

236
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 6: to me, that's what records is. It's the science of

237
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 6: communicating through songs. People say, I use the word hit

238
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 6: records or songs, but it's not like records are the

239
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 6: science of communicating through songs telling you an idea that

240
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 6: makes it easy for you to digest.

241
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 5: You can understand what the message I'm trying to cross

242
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 5: to you is.

243
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 6: Starting there, ending up in hip hop only being able

244
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 6: to get Glasshouse too out because it was so like,

245
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 6: it was so much to learn all of this stuff

246
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 6: about records and hip hop and then to end up

247
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 6: trying to learn marketing. People don't know what the hell

248
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 6: I went through, you know what I mean. It was

249
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 6: just crazy. So I couldn't put out music at the.

250
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 5: Same time as learning, you know what I mean.

251
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 6: It's like trying to have a job being a doctor,

252
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 6: you know, while in medical school, you know what I mean.

253
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 6: You got to be at the very end, and it's

254
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 6: like you got to keep going back to school. You know,

255
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 6: even as a doctor, you're gonna keep having to learn stuff.

256
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 6: So that's what it felt like like being this kind

257
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 6: of one man you know, it's almost like a one

258
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 6: man army. But really you have so much respect for

259
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 6: what everybody else do, like what EP does as a producer,

260
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 6: what Lester and Jason Joshua and eah Ski dos mix

261
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 6: is what you have to do as a manager, what

262
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 6: my job is, or what James Brown job was as

263
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 6: a record maker.

264
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 5: And it's like going to school to be a doctor.

265
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 6: And it was no way I could be out being

266
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 6: a doctor while going to school to be a doctor.

267
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 5: And that shit beat the shit out of me. You

268
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.

269
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 6: It took a long time, so we here eight years

270
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 6: later and I'm still grateful anyway, and now we just

271
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 6: got Now the work begins, which is crazy because like

272
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 6: we spent two years making this project. Me and EP

273
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 6: started just fooling around and then we figured god a

274
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 6: rhythm and you know, it didn't take a ton of time,

275
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 6: but we just knew where we were going. So it's

276
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 6: it's I'm happy to be here, you know what I mean.

277
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 6: It took eight years to get to this next album.

278
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: It's eleventh project, but I'm grateful yet to still Yeah.

279
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: You know what I love about it, man, is y'all

280
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: really took it back to what hip hop is about

281
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: the rapper and the producer actually being in the studio

282
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: together banging out records instead of just sending beats over

283
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: the internet, you know, emailing beats and you writing your

284
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: wraps and they know there's no cohesion to that. Sometimes,

285
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, you hear records sometimes and they just sound

286
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: like they're missing something that a lot of times that's

287
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: the element of being in the room together.

288
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it just what crazy is. Me and E

289
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 6: wasn't in the room all the time. We might've been

290
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 6: in the same room four times, but we was on

291
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 6: the phone, probably fucking our phone numbers probably got thousands

292
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 6: of hours.

293
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. It's crazy.

294
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: You know. Of course, with technology being is with it,

295
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: you know today you don't necessarily have to be in

296
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: the same room. But y'all was very much in concert.

297
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 6: Uce no man, We was passing records back a lot

298
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 6: of these songs, like epall tell you a lot of

299
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 6: these songs. These are like the thirteenth and fifteenth versions

300
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 6: of the exact songs. Yeah, like we might have went

301
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 6: back and forth ten twelve times, add in small details,

302
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 6: adding small things to hooks, like I hear Kanye should

303
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 6: have never married that bitch right now, and I always

304
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 6: be like that bitch belong, that bitch belonged. I should

305
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 6: ask somebody with a d voice, come on that bitch

306
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 6: belong that bitch belong be long to the street. I

307
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 6: could keep hearing that that detail. Yeah, you know what

308
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 6: I mean, and I don't have it. So I used

309
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 6: to laugh when Dre all the nigga used to tell

310
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 6: me they used to feel like a record wasn't finished.

311
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 6: Because when I first got into Ben I'm like, oh,

312
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 6: this record done, but now I get it. So a

313
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 6: lot of the dumb shit I thought at first, I

314
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 6: felt like asshole.

315
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 5: For thinking it.

316
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: I would say this, I would say this.

317
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: Still it boils down to one word, and that's trust.

318
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: Like I trust him, you know what I mean. I

319
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: trust him with the I ain't never just gain nobody

320
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: my sessions and like, hey man, just do what you

321
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: do what you do, that's true, and vice versa, like

322
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: he's never really done records like this, but like I know,

323
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: he gets it, and he puts the right subjects to

324
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: the right text music and it just worked. So it

325
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: worked so easily and so fluently that that it was

326
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: it's easy.

327
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: I can't wait to do this.

328
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 5: That's a great point.

329
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 6: Like it was times I was like, yo, he sent

330
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 6: me the session and I might not want to arrange nothing,

331
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 6: but like I might need to really just you know

332
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, like do something here. I need to

333
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 6: move something so I could do something right here and

334
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 6: then I can bring it back so you know, And

335
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 6: a lot of times I even engineered you know what

336
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 6: I mean, Yeah.

337
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 5: I'll send him back some shit.

338
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: I could to say, gee, let me give your credits too,

339
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: because a lot of them drops you here on the records, Bro,

340
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: that's him.

341
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: He created them, drops in spaces and even some of

342
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,119
Speaker 4: the collaps and rhythms.

343
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 5: And I'm like, only a hand for only.

344
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: G is actually turning into a really good all around artist.

345
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: He's producing, Yeah, you know what I'm saying. You know

346
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: he's producing now, he's writing. And I remember it used

347
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: to be funny when I first met G and he

348
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: make records. I always knew he was a bad motherfucker

349
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: on the mic, right, but we was.

350
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 6: You know, we start fucking hook sound like a right, Like,

351
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 6: why do your hook sound like a rap?

352
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: To kind of tell him because he was in there

353
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: making records now here, I'm just going off on his hook,

354
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, bru, that sounds like another damn verse. Man,

355
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: It's like shorten that up. You know what I mean.

356
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 6: What's crazy is I ain't grew up listening like I

357
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 6: grew up listening to music, but I didn't grow up

358
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 6: wanting to be a rapper, so structure was not my

359
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 6: strong suit. But again we tho like white Lightning, we

360
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 6: don't don't get a lot of credit because he moved

361
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 6: to Atlanta it was dope working with EP, like he

362
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 6: this is the truth, like it ain't about EP is

363
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 6: the producer of the project. But we made records together

364
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 6: like We're gonna go back and forth and I'm gonna

365
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 6: keep pushing him. And it was really wonderful, doggor It

366
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 6: really was fun, you know what I mean. Like the

367
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 6: business side, we got so much stuff to do, man,

368
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 6: But it's like it was, it was, it was.

369
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: It was better.

370
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 5: It was a It was a better experience than I

371
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 5: thought it actually would be.

372
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: You know what I think about sometimes, man, And I

373
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: really think about this man, just from where you at

374
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: as an artist, man in the chemistry to an EP gout.

375
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: I'll be thinking sometimes, Man, I wish you would have

376
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: had this shit when we was on the big boystage.

377
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 6: It's funny, man, it wouldn't have worked as well like

378
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 6: I mean it had been. I think I would have

379
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 6: had way better records, you know what I mean than

380
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 6: I had to some degree, especially the second you know,

381
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 6: move a beach Cruiser.

382
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 5: But it's better now, you know what I mean.

383
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 6: To sound crazy, and I know we don't got you know,

384
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 6: Birdman writing four million dollar checks, but the music is

385
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 6: so powerful in itself that it's going to create four

386
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 6: million dollars worth of promotion no matter what. So I

387
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 6: always I've thought of that. I'm like, damn, man, I

388
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 6: wish I'd have been having EP do this and that.

389
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 6: And then I, you know, again, questioning God ain't necessarily

390
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 6: the smartest move.

391
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: You know he got.

392
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 6: He put EP right in my and my and my

393
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 6: wheelhouse right when I needed in there, you know what

394
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 6: I mean, when it would make sense when I could

395
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 6: appreciate even what he does, Like my appreciation for what

396
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 6: he does is unbelievable versus when I first met him,

397
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 6: I just knew he made beats and he could play.

398
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 6: I didn't really understand, you know what a real you

399
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 6: know player mint That shit is different.

400
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. We was just talking about that, and

401
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: I was telling the man, I wish I could play

402
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: the piano because it's different. When you were up there

403
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: and EP was just in there playing shit without looking

404
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: at it, that was me.

405
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 5: I'm on that motherfucking EP.

406
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 6: And this is the point, like, this is where nobody understands,

407
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 6: and this is where it won't matter when you listen

408
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 6: to cancel these nuts unless you really know this motherfucker

409
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 6: straight up.

410
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 5: He don't loop the melody lines.

411
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: Through. Ain't that something else?

412
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

413
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: And I gotta I gotta thank G too, because like

414
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: me and G had a conversation. Bro like it it

415
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: goes back and forth. Because we had a conversation. I'm like, man,

416
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 3: i gotta get my name in the street. I'm tired

417
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: of these little niggas like man E P.

418
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 4: I heard EP. He's like, no, Nigga, I'm finna get

421
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: these but it ain't in my backyard, you know what

422
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: I mean. So I met G when I did Bastards

423
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: of the Party the whole soundtrack, so Bone introduced me

424
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: to him. But the record he put he made on

425
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: there was he put a hook on it by one

426
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: of my favorite artists, which is uh.

427
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: With John Mayer waiting on the world to waiting for

428
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 4: the World to change.

429
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, damn, how did this this dude come up

430
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: with that hook for that song? So I had an

431
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: appreciation for him because of the musical IQ was so

432
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 3: high even back then that was what like seven o

433
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: nine something like that, and we always said we're gonna

434
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 3: work together, and like he said.

435
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 6: Dumb we done stuff alone the line. Yeah, I mean

436
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 6: we knocked out other records and I came.

437
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 5: And did something. He did something for me, playing on

438
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 5: stuff on white Lightning and two. You know what I mean.

439
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 6: But like when I when I finally came out of

440
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 6: this cocoon, you know what I mean, like like this

441
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 6: metamorphosis and be coming to like this this like I'm

442
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 6: really a professional rapper. Like I went from being a

443
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 6: street nigga, like a nigga that used to sell drugs

444
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 6: and gang man and thought I was getting over on

445
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 6: the rap industry to becoming a professional rapper, professional record

446
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 6: So you know, coming EP, it was just at the

447
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 6: right time where you know, I knew exactly in my mind.

448
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 6: I knew exactly what to do, you know what I mean.

449
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 6: Once we once we caught one. All it took was

450
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 6: one because we did about four records before we caught one,

451
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 6: and I was like, Okay, this is where we're gonna

452
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 6: murder at.

453
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: And this is still this is odd too, because we

454
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 3: made up tempo records very very easily, and normally those

455
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: are the records that are the hardest to make because

456
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: people over think those records and they like, I need

457
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 3: a hit I need to hit them and me and

458
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: G was just knocking them out the park organically without

459
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 3: even trying.

460
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: That's when you use to get your best work. You

461
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: know what I want to do, G, before we continue

462
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: on with the album, I want to do a six

463
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: to seven minute breakdown to just your history and music

464
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: from where you came from to where you are at

465
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: this moment, because I really feel like that this is

466
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: kind of like your what's the word I'm looking for?

467
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: This is your shining moments, oh, your grand moment right

468
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: this album right here, this is the culmination of y'all

469
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: work and just me seeing y'all just do what y'all

470
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: do over the past few years. Right, I don't think

471
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: people realized. I want them to get an appreciation. Man,

472
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: you came out, Man, you came out of games Camp

473
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: and had one of the biggest buzzes on the West

474
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: Coast that somebody had in a long time.

475
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.

476
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because I was listening to you and I was like,

477
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: I remember my boy black toning up in the shop

478
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: talking about you, and then you was up there. You know.

479
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: One day you was playing your record that you had

480
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: with battle Cat. Yeah, you was playing with your record

481
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: that you had with battle cat Man, and you know,

482
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: to go from there man to having this bidding war

483
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: Man that going to Sony Man, do you ever feel like, man,

484
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: that you've lived a thousand lives in this industry?

485
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 2: Shit?

486
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 6: Before I got into the industry, just being in the streets,

487
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 6: you know, you sell shrim and shit and you gang

488
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 6: bang man that.

489
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 5: You feel like you lived a thousand dollars there.

490
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 6: So coming into the industry, you know, I really didn't

491
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 6: know what to expect. Honestly, I really will. I really

492
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 6: had different.

493
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 5: Plans for myself.

494
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: I wanted to have more like a death Row, like

495
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 6: a street funded like like a dope boy funded street label,

496
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, and put out records under there.

497
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 6: And you know, I got through into the real major leagues,

498
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Like not like death Row.

499
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 6: It was like, yo, you gotta make records with Lil

500
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 6: Wayne at this point, you know what I'm saying. So

501
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 6: before I even got to the industry, I felt like

502
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 6: I lived a thousand lives. Then in the industry, I've

503
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 6: been through hell and back, you know what I mean.

504
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 6: Upside down it's nothing.

505
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: So you can guys, put another project like this, right man,

506
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: and you're going through what all you've been through. It's

507
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: almost like you went to college. That's what it really

508
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,239
Speaker 1: feels like.

509
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 6: And it's a lot more like medical school than anything, because.

510
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: Actually, like you know, like you were actually in a

511
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: graduate school, Like you just graduated graduate school with this

512
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: right here.

513
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 6: You know what's funny, man, I put in probably roughly

514
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 6: purely three years on just records, just understanding what records were.

515
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 6: Then I put in another two three years on understanding

516
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 6: what hip hop was like being able to simplify it

517
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 6: into one, two, three, four five. It's why we always argue,

518
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 6: like I always, even people like you who grew up

519
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 6: in the thick of everything, I'm like, nonfool.

520
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 5: You just was living it.

521
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: There's a real.

522
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: Consistency of exactly what it is over and over again.

523
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 6: And I feel that's why my opinion is so strong,

524
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 6: because I gave blood up, you know what I mean,

525
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 6: the same something I was doing planning, you know, I mean,

526
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 6: I made it twenty four hours a day. And it's

527
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 6: funny because marketing is a thing I spent the least

528
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 6: amount of time understanding.

529
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 5: But I felt like.

530
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 6: I would say I have a doctorate in marketing, Like

531
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 6: I have conversations with people with master's degree in marketing,

532
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 6: and I'll be schooling them because they don't fucking know.

533
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 6: I put a lot of the ideas and their wheelhouse

534
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 6: that make it simple to term hip hop. I feel

535
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 6: like I got a master's but but records is always something.

536
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 6: I feel like, there's so much more to learn.

537
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Oh, what's a forever evolving thing?

538
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 3: Man?

539
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 6: Like like hip hop, I feel like I don't have

540
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 6: a ton much more to learn. It's more about feeling

541
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 6: in some dots of history here and there.

542
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 5: Marketing is pretty much a philosophy that.

543
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 6: Can be evolved into however, you know, whatever place it

544
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 6: needs to live. But records, man, it's so many fucking

545
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 6: records to learn. And that's why, Like when I look

546
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 6: at somebody like doctor Dre and I think about, you know,

547
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 6: two thousand and.

548
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 5: One, you know what I mean, Like.

549
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 6: He took a picture in front of those vinyls, and

550
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh my god, I finally understand what it means.

551
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 6: Even like as a as a real professional player of

552
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 6: music and a part of a band and conductor of

553
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 6: a band. It's like my respect for him is different

554
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 6: because you know, you go back to guys like James Brown.

555
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 6: Those guys have to play music to eat dinner. I

556
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 6: just don't video shoot Saturday brought. I said, man, where

557
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 6: was you? Where you're coming from? He said, man, I

558
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 6: just had to play. I said, man, how awesome is

559
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 6: that that you get to go your job? Is you

560
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 6: actually doing what you love and you just go I

561
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 6: want to play some music. But think about it, like

562
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 6: when you when people look at artists like James Brown

563
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 6: and they wonder why it worked them. Dudes was traveling

564
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 6: around the South, you know, for two years playing music

565
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 6: to eat dinner. Like I was telling Metro this shout

566
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 6: out to my boy Metro with Thomas Music and his artists,

567
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 6: and he was like, his artists were struggling to kind

568
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 6: of cross over into the business. And I'm like, that's

569
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 6: because they don't have to do this to eat dinner.

570
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 6: Like even people ask me how was I able to

571
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 6: get a deal so fast, you know, my situation with

572
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 6: White Lightning to move so many CDs. I'm like, because

573
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 6: they got to the point to where I was doing

574
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 6: this to eat dinner, so there was no room.

575
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 5: To be fucking them.

576
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 6: I had to understand and learn what was going on,

577
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 6: and so when I back to the records, when I

578
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 6: when I look at him, you know, somebody like EP who.

579
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 5: Plays, he knows what everybody's this too.

580
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 6: When he go plays at a party, he gotta play

581
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 6: the songs people want to dance to or they want

582
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 6: book his ass again. And don't get me wrong, he

583
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 6: might got now you know, if he got some royalty

584
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 6: money and some money from other little stuff, and but

585
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 6: he need that and you know, he need to play

586
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 6: the music that.

587
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 5: They want to hear.

588
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, have it you I mean, So it's nothing when

589
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 6: he comes in there and he starts to play music

590
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 6: to make an album, because he already playing what made

591
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 6: people like you know, as we start working on the

592
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 6: next project, which is gonna come back, it's gonna come

593
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 6: together a lot faster.

594
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: Man.

595
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 6: We just gonna keep focusing on what people want to

596
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: hear to make them be on the dance floor and

597
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 6: and and escape their real life for that four hours

598
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 6: that that him and the band is playing to him

599
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 6: and with him and Furnished and the Furnace band is

600
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 6: playing exactly.

601
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: Man. You know one of the songs on here, man,

602
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: it's a testament to your marketing progress. Man, It's Kanye

603
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: should have never married that bitch.

604
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, shout out to the panic at the disco. It's

605
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 5: funny is me EP talking about that for four days?

606
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 6: People think that was like some tongue in cheek shit

607
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 6: where I was just like, oh, let me just talk

608
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 6: about Kanye, and it was like, no, we made the

609
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 6: record direct. I couldn't even have that title. The record

610
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 6: was just the record by itself, and it was great,

611
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 6: but it was like, Yo, like why should people care

612
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 6: what happened to that bitch? Most of these people are

613
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 6: not streeked, especially in today's time. So even the lingo,

614
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 6: like when we say a bitch belongs to the street,

615
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 6: they can't even recognize that lingo and slang itself is

616
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 6: not as phenomenal as it once was, you know, appealing

617
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 6: to mainstream.

618
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 5: And I remember calling.

619
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 6: EP telling them like, Yo, we need to figure out

620
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 6: we need to put this in the mainstream publics, right

621
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 6: in their perspective so they could be like, oh, that

622
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 6: type of girl.

623
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 5: And so we start talking.

624
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 6: About it, and you know, I remember this nigga worked

625
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 6: with Kanye three four five albums. I'm like shit, I

626
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 6: was like, this motherfucker got the perfect motherfucker. He's like, well,

627
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 6: you know what, gee niggo, He'll be all right, it's cool,

628
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 6: this is what we're doing. And I remember just reading

629
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 6: so many old titles, them long titles Panic at the Disco.

630
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 5: I was in high school when that shit came out,

631
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 5: and I remember just these long ass titles.

632
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 6: And I was thinking, like you only have when you

633
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 6: look on a playlist on Spotify, though you don't even

634
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 6: get to see the picture. The picture is tiny, The

635
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 6: oniest name is tiny. The only thing you can see

636
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 6: is the title of the song, like, yo, we need

637
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 6: something long as fuck. So when people read it, they like,

638
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 6: what the fuck kind of you know what I mean?

639
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 6: And yeah, but it wasn't like some people like to

640
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 6: call a term. I think I used to hear all

641
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 6: the time it's clickbait, and it's like, that's not clickbait,

642
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 6: that bitch really belongs to the street.

643
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: Well, actually, what you did, man, is you discovered seo

644
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: as well. That's a long tail keyword that you created.

645
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: You know kind should have never made.

646
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 4: That's a conversation pieces piece.

647
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: You created a long tail keyword, man, And I won't

648
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, get in that. That's a whole nother science, right.

649
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: But I noticed, I said man, the titles that you

650
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: come up with, you don't waste you don't waste space. Yeah,

651
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: you take everything serious. I know a lot of people

652
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: when I've talked to a lot of the other homies,

653
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the you know, other rappers in La Man,

654
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: she is dope. He just overthink stuff. I say, no,

655
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: he's not really overthinking and he's just doing it right.

656
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: He's striving for perfection or really just trying to reach

657
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: their violent records.

658
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 6: Man, because everybody else feel like if they put out

659
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 6: a thousand records, they get there. That's the point where

660
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 6: records it really take one, you know what I mean.

661
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 6: Nobody got there with a thousand records. It still only

662
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 6: took one.

663
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 5: We can talk about a thousand records. It took one.

664
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 6: You feel me, Like Michael Jackson is still thriller. It

665
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 6: take one, you know what I'm saying. So everyone deserves

666
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 6: Dre says something that's really dope. Everything's important. I spell

667
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 6: them with two e's everything's important. With the E it's

668
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 6: E square. Everything's important. So if I can't take a

669
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 6: little extra time to figure out the title, you know

670
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 6: what I mean, it's one song something like we're doing

671
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 6: all this content for people to discover this dope ass music.

672
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 5: It's gonna take.

673
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 6: One song at one time, and when that one time happened,

674
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 6: that song.

675
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 5: Need to have layers.

676
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: Exactly believe that. I believe that because that one song

677
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: is going to bring everybody back to your previous releases

678
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: and go have them anticipate in everything that you put

679
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: out in the future. So it's definitely a very important thing. Man.

680
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: I think people underestimate.

681
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 5: Man, the motherfucker live right now to that.

682
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,960

00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and get this out there to the people. Man,

684
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: I want each one of y'all tell these people why

685
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: they need to go out there and stream this motherfucker.

686
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: We mean, you both talked about the importance and shit

687
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: and making it matter, Like why why should people go

690
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,840

691
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 6: be scared. It's the same thing we're saying the barbershop.

00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 6: sure they know. So you ain't gotta deal with the

695
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 6: embarrassment of saying the same thing we're saying the barbershop

696

00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: those like Final twenty, those Top twenty, because there have

784
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 1: been so many just classic albums, and really, man, hearing

785
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: this album, I really believe man, that this album when

786
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: it came out fight even a month ago, we'd be

787
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: having a whole different conversation. I'm even thinking about throwing

788
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: it in there. That's why I want to listen to

789
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: it to night in this entirety. And I want to

790
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to seem biased, because see

791
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: when I talk about you were eight, I don't want

792
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: nobody thinking of he's just saying that because he got this. No,

793
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: it ain't like that.

794
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 6: I'm very honest, it might be top Yeah, I don't

795
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 6: know that's that's I don't know.

796
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: If it's top twenty, bro, but it's for sure.

797
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 6: I don't know if I was banging more than the

798
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 6: shadiest one, but I'm sure y'all don't have the shadiest

799
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 6: one in this proper position.

800
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know the shadiest one is actually one

801
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: of our records in that though, top Man. That's to

802
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: wait and find out, like everybody.

803
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 5: Okay, So it's somewhere in the top twenty five.

804
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, somewhere okay.

805
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 6: Long because if it wasn't in the top twenty five,

806
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 6: I wasn't gonna I was gonna disregard y'all opinion completely.

807
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: You know it is man Dubb put his foot in this,

808
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: But I would say, man to cancel these nuts. Man,

809
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: I think you know it's hard to defind it. See,

810
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: I don't believe in calling the record the classic, Man

811
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: until it's been out. You don't know if it's in

812
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: the classic to ten years down the line.

813
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 6: Well to me, it ain't even I don't even use

814
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 6: that term no more because I don't know if we

815
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 6: have the time for it. But what I definitely want

816
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 6: to do is make it a timestamp of twenty twenty

817
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 6: three and twenty four. I want you to feel like, eventually,

818
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 6: somewhere along the line, this album had to mean something

819
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 6: to you or represented something, or you didn't like something

820
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 6: about it during that time. And I think that that

821
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 6: becomes the goal now that we got it out, because

822
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 6: we didn't do a ton of marketing up front. What's

823
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 6: funny is we just start marketing and idea this week

824
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 6: and people starting to see the ideas and like it's

825
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 6: crazy to watch them come to life and people just

826
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 6: be enamored, like wow, you know what I mean.

827
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: And we just I can say one thing is doing

828
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: is bringing back the feeling of man, uh, I'm glad

829
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: you saying it.

830
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 4: Somebody needs to say.

831
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 3: It's hands down is getting that reaction so I can.

832
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely a recovery mission. It's not a discovery

833
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 6: mission like hip hop used to be. It's more of

834
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 6: a like recovering the thing that the West Coast represented.

835
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,399
