0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 6>I know that sounds crazy, but people like you who

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.520

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 6>mean when I say it's Tuesday, Like this is just normally,

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 6>this is what the flavor of the week was for

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 6>this part ticular album. You know what I'm saying, what

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm most proud of is what I'm most proud of.

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 6>I feel like we did a really good job, Like

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 6>we did a fantastic job dog of like capturing everything

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 6>at the same time, you know what I'm saying, Like

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 6>coming back to E at the end, telling them like, yo,

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean.

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 5>I want to.

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 6>I want to make sure we do stuff in posts

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 6>E trusting me really, like certain times I wanted to

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.039
<v Speaker 6>take stuff away or reorganize something because I just felt

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 6>like I was rapping and I couldn't compliment those particular

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 6>hats or I had a hat pattern like him allowing

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 6>me to tinker in the record making process, not just

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 6>respecting me, you know, andto being just the MC, but

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 6>allow me to make the best records that I could,

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 6>to compliment the productions.

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>For sure, for sure. Man, So I'm gonna go through

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 1>each one of these songs. Man, I want you each

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to explain ain't me. You know, I've heard the records already,

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>but the people out there obviously hasn't. I'm gonna go

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>directly the number two to cancel these nuts. What does

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:09.919
<v Speaker 1>cancel these nuts about?

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Man?

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>The title track?

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 5>Cancel these nets?

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 6>So it was funny because I think that's like self stated,

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 6>you feel me. But to me, honestly, it's a lot

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 6>richer than most people.

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 5>Cancel these nuts.

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>To me is like.

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 6>I feel like the industry make a lot of artists,

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean, The powers that be, the

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 6>the finance, the Wealth Department makes a lot of artists.

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 6>So like they can cancel them. They make you, they

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 6>could break you. I always felt like I was always

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 6>self made from the first day to the last name,

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean, not self made.

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 5>Olivia made me.

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 6>But like as far as artistry didn't know, power structure

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 6>decided I was gonna be it. Matter of fact, they

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 6>fought me tooth and nail the whole time, trying to

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 6>stop me from being it. And I'm still I still

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.719
<v Speaker 6>end up becoming it, you know what I'm saying. So

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 6>cancel these nehsing is my attitude that I'm gonna say

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 6>whatever I want to say, and really there's nothing nobody

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 6>can really do about it, you.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Know what I mean.

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 6>There's no nothing nobody can do. You know what I mean,

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 6>because none of you motherfuckers made me.

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying.

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 6>Period, It's something that God did himself, I mean, and

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 6>my parents.

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 5>So this is what it's all about.

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you look at the culture and the climate

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>that we're in right now, it's really like that time. Man,

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Like if you saw what they did. I know it's

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a touchy subject, but if you saw what they did.

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>R Kelly for example, Yeah, he did some stuff that

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>wasn't cool, but it was a whole lot of people

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that needed to be held accountable in that mix too,

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and they just pretty much ruined that. Man.

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, I mean, Mark Kelly's situation is unique because really,

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, if he committed a crime like any other criminal,

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 6>I understand, you know why they have a you know,

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 6>a penal system to try to keep balance subject, you

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 6>know what I'm saying, And I don't want without throwing

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 6>any other anybody else under the bus. I don't think

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 6>that's the most important part. But they made R Kelly

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 6>so they break they could break R Kelly. They made

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 6>it so they could break it.

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I see, and that's what I mean

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>in his case. Right to me, it was a thing

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to where everybody was just kind of moved away from him.

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Didn't nobody want to be around him, didn't nobody want

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>them to backlash to go on them, nobody wanted to

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>suffer none of that heat. So it was like kind

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>of like, Okay, we gonna throw him down the well.

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, And it's funny because he did so much

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 6>for everybody, you know what I mean. And but that's

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 6>how it go I mean, man, that's why I run

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 6>these niggas off the block anyway, you know what I mean.

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 6>I don't let them be next to me anyway. I

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 6>don't let him absorb my energy. I don't let him

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 6>absorb my power. I don't let them I don't let

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 6>him be around me, you know what I mean, Because

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 6>I always already know, like when it goes down, it

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 6>ain't no friends. So we're not gonna fake like we're

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 6>friends now. You know, maybe we could do some music,

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, maybe we could do something, But the people

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 6>that fuck with me.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 5>They fuck with me right now.

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.959
<v Speaker 1>So that's all it is exactly, man, Because we are

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>living in you know, it's supposed it's to a certain level.

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>We're supposed to have freedom of speech, right, but that

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>seems to have been thrown out the window nowadays. It's like,

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 1>if you see the thing about the wrong person, you

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>could be in a lot of trouble.

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 6>Well you got the freedom, you know what I mean.

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 6>Just come with consequence, you know what I'm saying. And

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 6>to me, that's what cancel these nets the whole album,

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.199
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean. First track on down is

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 6>about is regardless of the consequence, you know what I mean.

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.959
<v Speaker 5>I'm not looking to make friends now.

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>EP, you are well reserved, brother, man, do you need

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to records scare you?

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 4>I understand freedom of speech. I understand freedom of speech.

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 3>I agree with with the records, you know what I mean.

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I agree with with telling our songs.

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:54.959
<v Speaker 2>Mmm.

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 4>So they were funny to me, you know what I mean,

0:09:58.679 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 4>It's like, all right, well let's go.

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 6>I just think like a lot of it, a lot

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 6>of it was just really being funny, man, Like as

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 6>serious as subject matters, or it was meant to be funny.

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>It's all funny, you know what, man, And it's going

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>on around like time can be flying. Gee, do you

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>realize how long then you've been messing with each other?

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Dog?

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 5>Over twenty years now?

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Was crazy?

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 6>I was thinking, it's crazy. So it's been eight years

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:36.679
<v Speaker 6>since I released my last album. Glass House two was

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 6>like my tenth project. This makes my eleventh project, so

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 6>I can put out Glasshouse two in twenty fifteen. And

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 6>what really happened was in two, let's say twenty thirteen,

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 6>I started to kind of fall down this this this

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 6>this this uh, this rabbit hole of hip hop and records,

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 6>you know. And I started off with records, you know,

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 6>just that journey of understanding what records are about the

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 6>science of communicating through songs, you know, I mean because

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 6>to me, that's what records is. It's the science of

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 6>communicating through songs. People say, I use the word hit

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 6>records or songs, but it's not like records are the

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 6>science of communicating through songs telling you an idea that

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 6>makes it easy for you to digest.

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 5>You can understand what the message I'm trying to cross

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 5>to you is.

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 6>Starting there, ending up in hip hop only being able

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 6>to get Glasshouse too out because it was so like,

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 6>it was so much to learn all of this stuff

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 6>about records and hip hop and then to end up

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 6>trying to learn marketing. People don't know what the hell

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 6>I went through, you know what I mean. It was

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 6>just crazy. So I couldn't put out music at the.

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 5>Same time as learning, you know what I mean.

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.960
<v Speaker 6>It's like trying to have a job being a doctor,

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 6>you know, while in medical school, you know what I mean.

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 6>You got to be at the very end, and it's

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 6>like you got to keep going back to school. You know,

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 6>even as a doctor, you're gonna keep having to learn stuff.

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 6>So that's what it felt like like being this kind

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 6>of one man you know, it's almost like a one

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 6>man army. But really you have so much respect for

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 6>what everybody else do, like what EP does as a producer,

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 6>what Lester and Jason Joshua and eah Ski dos mix

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 6>is what you have to do as a manager, what

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 6>my job is, or what James Brown job was as

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 6>a record maker.

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 5>And it's like going to school to be a doctor.

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 6>And it was no way I could be out being

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.199
<v Speaker 6>a doctor while going to school to be a doctor.

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 5>And that shit beat the shit out of me. You

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying.

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 6>It took a long time, so we here eight years

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 6>later and I'm still grateful anyway, and now we just

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 6>got Now the work begins, which is crazy because like

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 6>we spent two years making this project. Me and EP

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 6>started just fooling around and then we figured god a

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 6>rhythm and you know, it didn't take a ton of time,

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 6>but we just knew where we were going. So it's

0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 6>it's I'm happy to be here, you know what I mean.

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 6>It took eight years to get to this next album.

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 6>It's eleventh project, but I'm grateful yet to still Yeah.

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>You know what I love about it, man, is y'all

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>really took it back to what hip hop is about

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the rapper and the producer actually being in the studio

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>together banging out records instead of just sending beats over

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the internet, you know, emailing beats and you writing your

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>wraps and they know there's no cohesion to that. Sometimes,

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, you hear records sometimes and they just sound

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>like they're missing something that a lot of times that's

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>the element of being in the room together.

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but it just what crazy is. Me and E

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 6>wasn't in the room all the time. We might've been

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 6>in the same room four times, but we was on

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 6>the phone, probably fucking our phone numbers probably got thousands

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 6>of hours.

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying. It's crazy.

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>You know. Of course, with technology being is with it,

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you know today you don't necessarily have to be in

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the same room. But y'all was very much in concert.

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 6>Uce no man, We was passing records back a lot

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 6>of these songs, like epall tell you a lot of

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 6>these songs. These are like the thirteenth and fifteenth versions

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 6>of the exact songs. Yeah, like we might have went

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 6>back and forth ten twelve times, add in small details,

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 6>adding small things to hooks, like I hear Kanye should

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 6>have never married that bitch right now, and I always

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 6>be like that bitch belong, that bitch belonged. I should

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 6>ask somebody with a d voice, come on that bitch

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 6>belong that bitch belong be long to the street. I

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 6>could keep hearing that that detail. Yeah, you know what

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean, and I don't have it. So I used

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 6>to laugh when Dre all the nigga used to tell

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 6>me they used to feel like a record wasn't finished.

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 6>Because when I first got into Ben I'm like, oh,

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 6>this record done, but now I get it. So a

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 6>lot of the dumb shit I thought at first, I

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 6>felt like asshole.

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 5>For thinking it.

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 4>I would say this, I would say this.

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Still it boils down to one word, and that's trust.

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Like I trust him, you know what I mean. I

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 3>trust him with the I ain't never just gain nobody

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 3>my sessions and like, hey man, just do what you

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 3>do what you do, that's true, and vice versa, like

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 3>he's never really done records like this, but like I know,

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 3>he gets it, and he puts the right subjects to

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 3>the right text music and it just worked. So it

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 3>worked so easily and so fluently that that it was

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>it's easy.

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 4>I can't wait to do this.

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 5>That's a great point.

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 6>Like it was times I was like, yo, he sent

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 6>me the session and I might not want to arrange nothing,

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 6>but like I might need to really just you know

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 6>what I'm saying, like do something here. I need to

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 6>move something so I could do something right here and

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 6>then I can bring it back so you know, And

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 6>a lot of times I even engineered you know what

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 6>I mean, Yeah.

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 5>I'll send him back some shit.

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 3>I could to say, gee, let me give your credits too,

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 3>because a lot of them drops you here on the records, Bro,

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 3>that's him.

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 4>He created them, drops in spaces and even some of

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.119
<v Speaker 4>the collaps and rhythms.

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 5>And I'm like, only a hand for only.

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>G is actually turning into a really good all around artist.

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>He's producing, Yeah, you know what I'm saying. You know

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>he's producing now, he's writing. And I remember it used

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to be funny when I first met G and he

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 1>make records. I always knew he was a bad motherfucker

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 1>on the mic, right, but we was.

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 6>You know, we start fucking hook sound like a right, Like,

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 6>why do your hook sound like a rap?

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>To kind of tell him because he was in there

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 1>making records now here, I'm just going off on his hook,

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'd be like, bru, that sounds like another damn verse. Man,

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like shorten that up. You know what I mean.

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 6>What's crazy is I ain't grew up listening like I

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 6>grew up listening to music, but I didn't grow up

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 6>wanting to be a rapper, so structure was not my

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 6>strong suit. But again we tho like white Lightning, we

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 6>don't don't get a lot of credit because he moved

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 6>to Atlanta it was dope working with EP, like he

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 6>this is the truth, like it ain't about EP is

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 6>the producer of the project. But we made records together

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 6>like We're gonna go back and forth and I'm gonna

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 6>keep pushing him. And it was really wonderful, doggor It

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 6>really was fun, you know what I mean. Like the

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 6>business side, we got so much stuff to do, man,

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 6>But it's like it was, it was, it was.

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>It was better.

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 5>It was a It was a better experience than I

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 5>thought it actually would be.

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what I think about sometimes, man, And I

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>really think about this man, just from where you at

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>as an artist, man in the chemistry to an EP gout.

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll be thinking sometimes, Man, I wish you would have

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>had this shit when we was on the big boystage.

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 6>It's funny, man, it wouldn't have worked as well like

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 6>I mean it had been. I think I would have

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 6>had way better records, you know what I mean than

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 6>I had to some degree, especially the second you know,

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 6>move a beach Cruiser.

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 5>But it's better now, you know what I mean.

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 6>To sound crazy, and I know we don't got you know,

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 6>Birdman writing four million dollar checks, but the music is

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 6>so powerful in itself that it's going to create four

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 6>million dollars worth of promotion no matter what. So I

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 6>always I've thought of that. I'm like, damn, man, I

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.440
<v Speaker 6>wish I'd have been having EP do this and that.

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 6>And then I, you know, again, questioning God ain't necessarily

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 6>the smartest move.

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:44.160
<v Speaker 1>You know he got.

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 6>He put EP right in my and my and my

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 6>wheelhouse right when I needed in there, you know what

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean, when it would make sense when I could

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.919
<v Speaker 6>appreciate even what he does, Like my appreciation for what

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 6>he does is unbelievable versus when I first met him,

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.840
<v Speaker 6>I just knew he made beats and he could play.

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 6>I didn't really understand, you know what a real you

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 6>know player mint That shit is different.

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure. We was just talking about that, and

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I was telling the man, I wish I could play

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the piano because it's different. When you were up there

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 1>and EP was just in there playing shit without looking

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>at it, that was me.

0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:13.879
<v Speaker 5>I'm on that motherfucking EP.

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 6>And this is the point, like, this is where nobody understands,

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 6>and this is where it won't matter when you listen

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 6>to cancel these nuts unless you really know this motherfucker

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:23.719
<v Speaker 6>straight up.

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 5>He don't loop the melody lines.

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Through. Ain't that something else?

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 3>And I gotta I gotta thank G too, because like

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 3>me and G had a conversation. Bro like it it

0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 3>goes back and forth. Because we had a conversation. I'm like, man,

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.120
<v Speaker 3>i gotta get my name in the street. I'm tired

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 3>of these little niggas like man E P.

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.040
<v Speaker 4>I heard EP. He's like, no, Nigga, I'm finna get

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 4>your name back because I.

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 3>Do stuff for Tech nine and jay Z and all

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 3>these but it ain't in my backyard, you know what

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:59.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean. So I met G when I did Bastards

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 3>of the Party the whole soundtrack, so Bone introduced me

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 3>to him. But the record he put he made on

0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 3>there was he put a hook on it by one

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 3>of my favorite artists, which is uh.

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 4>With John Mayer waiting on the world to waiting for

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 4>the World to change.

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, damn, how did this this dude come up

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 3>with that hook for that song? So I had an

0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.920
<v Speaker 3>appreciation for him because of the musical IQ was so

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 3>high even back then that was what like seven o

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 3>nine something like that, and we always said we're gonna

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 3>work together, and like he said.

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.239
<v Speaker 6>Dumb we done stuff alone the line. Yeah, I mean

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 6>we knocked out other records and I came.

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.239
<v Speaker 5>And did something. He did something for me, playing on

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 5>stuff on white Lightning and two. You know what I mean.

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 6>But like when I when I finally came out of

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.159
<v Speaker 6>this cocoon, you know what I mean, like like this

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 6>metamorphosis and be coming to like this this like I'm

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 6>really a professional rapper. Like I went from being a

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 6>street nigga, like a nigga that used to sell drugs

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 6>and gang man and thought I was getting over on

0:19:55.680 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 6>the rap industry to becoming a professional rapper, professional record

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 6>So you know, coming EP, it was just at the

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 6>right time where you know, I knew exactly in my mind.

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 6>I knew exactly what to do, you know what I mean.

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.480
<v Speaker 6>Once we once we caught one. All it took was

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 6>one because we did about four records before we caught one,

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 6>and I was like, Okay, this is where we're gonna

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 6>murder at.

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 3>And this is still this is odd too, because we

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 3>made up tempo records very very easily, and normally those

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 3>are the records that are the hardest to make because

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 3>people over think those records and they like, I need

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:35.679
<v Speaker 3>a hit I need to hit them and me and

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 3>G was just knocking them out the park organically without

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:39.959
<v Speaker 3>even trying.

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:42.439
<v Speaker 1>That's when you use to get your best work. You

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.360
<v Speaker 1>know what I want to do, G, before we continue

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>on with the album, I want to do a six

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to seven minute breakdown to just your history and music

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>from where you came from to where you are at

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.639
<v Speaker 1>this moment, because I really feel like that this is

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of like your what's the word I'm looking for?

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>This is your shining moments, oh, your grand moment right

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.880
<v Speaker 1>this album right here, this is the culmination of y'all

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.200
<v Speaker 1>work and just me seeing y'all just do what y'all

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>do over the past few years. Right, I don't think

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.640
<v Speaker 1>people realized. I want them to get an appreciation. Man,

0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you came out, Man, you came out of games Camp

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and had one of the biggest buzzes on the West

0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Coast that somebody had in a long time.

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Right. Yeah.

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Because I was listening to you and I was like,

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I remember my boy black toning up in the shop

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about you, and then you was up there. You know.

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>One day you was playing your record that you had

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with battle Cat. Yeah, you was playing with your record

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that you had with battle cat Man, and you know,

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to go from there man to having this bidding war

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Man that going to Sony Man, do you ever feel like, man,

0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that you've lived a thousand lives in this industry?

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Shit?

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:49.160
<v Speaker 6>Before I got into the industry, just being in the streets,

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 6>you know, you sell shrim and shit and you gang

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:52.920
<v Speaker 6>bang man that.

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 5>You feel like you lived a thousand dollars there.

0:21:55.000 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 6>So coming into the industry, you know, I really didn't

0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 6>know what to expect. Honestly, I really will. I really

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 6>had different.

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:06.960
<v Speaker 5>Plans for myself.

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to have more like a death Row, like

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 6>a street funded like like a dope boy funded street label,

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean, and put out records under there.

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.560
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I got through into the real major leagues,

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 6>you know what I'm saying, Like not like death Row.

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.120
<v Speaker 6>It was like, yo, you gotta make records with Lil

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 6>Wayne at this point, you know what I'm saying. So

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 6>before I even got to the industry, I felt like

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:32.360
<v Speaker 6>I lived a thousand lives. Then in the industry, I've

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 6>been through hell and back, you know what I mean.

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:35.119
<v Speaker 6>Upside down it's nothing.

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:40.680
<v Speaker 1>So you can guys, put another project like this, right man,

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and you're going through what all you've been through. It's

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>almost like you went to college. That's what it really

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:47.239
<v Speaker 1>feels like.

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 6>And it's a lot more like medical school than anything, because.

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Actually, like you know, like you were actually in a

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>graduate school, Like you just graduated graduate school with this

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 1>right here.

0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.879
<v Speaker 6>You know what's funny, man, I put in probably roughly

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 6>purely three years on just records, just understanding what records were.

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 6>Then I put in another two three years on understanding

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 6>what hip hop was like being able to simplify it

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 6>into one, two, three, four five. It's why we always argue,

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.160
<v Speaker 6>like I always, even people like you who grew up

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.440
<v Speaker 6>in the thick of everything, I'm like, nonfool.

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 5>You just was living it.

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a real.

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.960
<v Speaker 6>Consistency of exactly what it is over and over again.

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 6>And I feel that's why my opinion is so strong,

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.159
<v Speaker 6>because I gave blood up, you know what I mean,

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.239
<v Speaker 6>the same something I was doing planning, you know, I mean,

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 6>I made it twenty four hours a day. And it's

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 6>funny because marketing is a thing I spent the least

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 6>amount of time understanding.

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:44.400
<v Speaker 5>But I felt like.

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 6>I would say I have a doctorate in marketing, Like

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 6>I have conversations with people with master's degree in marketing,

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 6>and I'll be schooling them because they don't fucking know.

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 6>I put a lot of the ideas and their wheelhouse

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 6>that make it simple to term hip hop. I feel

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 6>like I got a master's but but records is always something.

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 6>I feel like, there's so much more to learn.

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, what's a forever evolving thing?

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 6>Like like hip hop, I feel like I don't have

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 6>a ton much more to learn. It's more about feeling

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 6>in some dots of history here and there.

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:18.160
<v Speaker 5>Marketing is pretty much a philosophy that.

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 6>Can be evolved into however, you know, whatever place it

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:25.959
<v Speaker 6>needs to live. But records, man, it's so many fucking

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 6>records to learn. And that's why, Like when I look

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 6>at somebody like doctor Dre and I think about, you know,

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:32.359
<v Speaker 6>two thousand and.

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 5>One, you know what I mean, Like.

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 6>He took a picture in front of those vinyls, and

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, oh my god, I finally understand what it means.

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:44.159
<v Speaker 6>Even like as a as a real professional player of

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:46.199
<v Speaker 6>music and a part of a band and conductor of

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 6>a band. It's like my respect for him is different

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 6>because you know, you go back to guys like James Brown.

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 6>Those guys have to play music to eat dinner. I

0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:00.640
<v Speaker 6>just don't video shoot Saturday brought. I said, man, where

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 6>was you? Where you're coming from? He said, man, I

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 6>just had to play. I said, man, how awesome is

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 6>that that you get to go your job? Is you

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:08.760
<v Speaker 6>actually doing what you love and you just go I

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 6>want to play some music. But think about it, like

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 6>when you when people look at artists like James Brown

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 6>and they wonder why it worked them. Dudes was traveling

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 6>around the South, you know, for two years playing music

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 6>to eat dinner. Like I was telling Metro this shout

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 6>out to my boy Metro with Thomas Music and his artists,

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 6>and he was like, his artists were struggling to kind

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 6>of cross over into the business. And I'm like, that's

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 6>because they don't have to do this to eat dinner.

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 6>Like even people ask me how was I able to

0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 6>get a deal so fast, you know, my situation with

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 6>White Lightning to move so many CDs. I'm like, because

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 6>they got to the point to where I was doing

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 6>this to eat dinner, so there was no room.

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 5>To be fucking them.

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 6>I had to understand and learn what was going on,

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 6>and so when I back to the records, when I

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 6>when I look at him, you know, somebody like EP who.

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 5>Plays, he knows what everybody's this too.

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 6>When he go plays at a party, he gotta play

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:04.200
<v Speaker 6>the songs people want to dance to or they want

0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 6>book his ass again. And don't get me wrong, he

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:08.679
<v Speaker 6>might got now you know, if he got some royalty

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:11.440
<v Speaker 6>money and some money from other little stuff, and but

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 6>he need that and you know, he need to play

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:14.120
<v Speaker 6>the music that.

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:14.680
<v Speaker 5>They want to hear.

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, have it you I mean, So it's nothing when

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:19.879
<v Speaker 6>he comes in there and he starts to play music

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 6>to make an album, because he already playing what made

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.480
<v Speaker 6>people like you know, as we start working on the

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 6>next project, which is gonna come back, it's gonna come

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 6>together a lot faster.

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:30.199
<v Speaker 6>We just gonna keep focusing on what people want to

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 6>hear to make them be on the dance floor and

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 6>and and escape their real life for that four hours

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:36.959
<v Speaker 6>that that him and the band is playing to him

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 6>and with him and Furnished and the Furnace band is

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:40.640
<v Speaker 6>playing exactly.

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Man. You know one of the songs on here, man,

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:46.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a testament to your marketing progress. Man, It's Kanye

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 1>should have never married that bitch.

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, shout out to the panic at the disco. It's

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 5>funny is me EP talking about that for four days?

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:55.960
<v Speaker 6>People think that was like some tongue in cheek shit

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:57.119
<v Speaker 6>where I was just like, oh, let me just talk

0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.399
<v Speaker 6>about Kanye, and it was like, no, we made the

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 6>record direct. I couldn't even have that title. The record

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 6>was just the record by itself, and it was great,

0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 6>but it was like, Yo, like why should people care

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 6>what happened to that bitch? Most of these people are

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 6>not streeked, especially in today's time. So even the lingo,

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 6>like when we say a bitch belongs to the street,

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:22.159
<v Speaker 6>they can't even recognize that lingo and slang itself is

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 6>not as phenomenal as it once was, you know, appealing

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:25.879
<v Speaker 6>to mainstream.

0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:27.679
<v Speaker 5>And I remember calling.

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 6>EP telling them like, Yo, we need to figure out

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.760
<v Speaker 6>we need to put this in the mainstream publics, right

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.920
<v Speaker 6>in their perspective so they could be like, oh, that

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:37.639
<v Speaker 6>type of girl.

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 5>And so we start talking.

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 6>About it, and you know, I remember this nigga worked

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 6>with Kanye three four five albums. I'm like shit, I

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 6>was like, this motherfucker got the perfect motherfucker. He's like, well,

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 6>you know what, gee niggo, He'll be all right, it's cool,

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 6>this is what we're doing. And I remember just reading

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 6>so many old titles, them long titles Panic at the Disco.

0:27:56.920 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 5>I was in high school when that shit came out,

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 5>and I remember just these long ass titles.

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 6>And I was thinking, like you only have when you

0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 6>look on a playlist on Spotify, though you don't even

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:09.879
<v Speaker 6>get to see the picture. The picture is tiny, The

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.920
<v Speaker 6>oniest name is tiny. The only thing you can see

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:14.720
<v Speaker 6>is the title of the song, like, yo, we need

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 6>something long as fuck. So when people read it, they like,

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 6>what the fuck kind of you know what I mean?

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 6>And yeah, but it wasn't like some people like to

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:27.439
<v Speaker 6>call a term. I think I used to hear all

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:29.680
<v Speaker 6>the time it's clickbait, and it's like, that's not clickbait,

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:32.119
<v Speaker 6>that bitch really belongs to the street.

0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, actually, what you did, man, is you discovered seo

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>as well. That's a long tail keyword that you created.

0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:41.960
<v Speaker 1>You know kind should have never made.

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 4>That's a conversation pieces piece.

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>You created a long tail keyword, man, And I won't

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, get in that. That's a whole nother science, right.

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>But I noticed, I said man, the titles that you

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 1>come up with, you don't waste you don't waste space. Yeah,

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you take everything serious. I know a lot of people

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>when I've talked to a lot of the other homies,

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the you know, other rappers in La Man,

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 1>she is dope. He just overthink stuff. I say, no,

0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 1>he's not really overthinking and he's just doing it right.

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 1>He's striving for perfection or really just trying to reach

0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 1>their violent records.

0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:17.960
<v Speaker 6>Man, because everybody else feel like if they put out

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 6>a thousand records, they get there. That's the point where

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 6>records it really take one, you know what I mean.

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 6>Nobody got there with a thousand records. It still only

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 6>took one.

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 5>We can talk about a thousand records. It took one.

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 6>You feel me, Like Michael Jackson is still thriller. It

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 6>take one, you know what I'm saying. So everyone deserves

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 6>Dre says something that's really dope. Everything's important. I spell

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 6>them with two e's everything's important. With the E it's

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:50.840
<v Speaker 6>E square. Everything's important. So if I can't take a

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 6>little extra time to figure out the title, you know

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.640
<v Speaker 6>what I mean, it's one song something like we're doing

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.480
<v Speaker 6>all this content for people to discover this dope ass music.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:01.040
<v Speaker 5>It's gonna take.

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 6>One song at one time, and when that one time happened,

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 6>that song.

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 5>Need to have layers.

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Exactly believe that. I believe that because that one song

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 1>is going to bring everybody back to your previous releases

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and go have them anticipate in everything that you put

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:22.240
<v Speaker 1>out in the future. So it's definitely a very important thing. Man.

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I think people underestimate.

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:26.760
<v Speaker 5>Man, the motherfucker live right now to that.

0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was this live right now, man, So I'm

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna go ahead and get this out there to the people. Man,

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I want each one of y'all tell these people why

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>they need to go out there and stream this motherfucker.

0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 1>We mean, you both talked about the importance and shit

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and making it matter, Like why why should people go

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 1>stream this album?

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Right now?

0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:47.840
<v Speaker 6>My mind, Man, it's the voice of the barbershop. Don't

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 6>be scared. It's the same thing we're saying the barbershop.

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm just telling the rest of these I'm just telling

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 6>the white people. Man, they just didn't know. I'm making

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 6>sure they know. So you ain't gotta deal with the

0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 6>embarrassment of saying the same thing we're saying the barbershop

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 6>to the white people. So I'm representing you. Just let me,

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:04.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, go listen to it and be like, yeah,

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 6>he represented you. Ain't gotta even tell nobody else.

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 4>Just you know, it's true, and it's conversation.

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 3>It's conversation over quality music too, and we ain't trying

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 3>to sound like nobody else.

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 4>We cultivating our own sound.

<v Speaker 1>I feel like I never get to enjoy just the

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 1>floor for that because I always hear the pieces. I

0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:13.480

<v Speaker 6>That's what you do to this, what you do to

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 6>a different But some of the greatest things in the

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:22.400

<v Speaker 6>you're you're really good at records of hip hop and marketing,

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:29.040
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean. But some of the best

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 6>part is when I get you what.

0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 5>The fuck is that?

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 4>I know what that is?

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You know year stuff that y'all do, and I like,

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I know what they need. They need something different, but

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't catch it, and I all I want to

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:40.720

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:56.400

0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 1>We double back, sure, and I'm gonna tell y'all like this,

0:33:59.040 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>this is big steeal breakdown on the record. Man, it's

0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a sham and ass record.

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:05.800
<v Speaker 5>That's what I promise you that it is.

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 6>It is a really killer Mike said he got the

0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 6>album of the year. I think my album on Killing

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 6>Mike album right now. Yeah, I gotta kind of slam

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 6>back to back and compare him. I might do that

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 6>a live but like what Kill Mike? What Killer Mike

0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:22.839
<v Speaker 6>has a substance my album. You know, my album makes

0:34:22.880 --> 0:34:23.839
<v Speaker 6>up with attitude?

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Man. I told eight and Soaring Baker's were doing the

0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:29.719
<v Speaker 1>top fifty gangster rap albums of all time, and it's

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 1>getting kind of heated as we come towards you know,

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 1>those like Final twenty, those Top twenty, because there have

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:39.240
<v Speaker 1>been so many just classic albums, and really, man, hearing

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 1>this album, I really believe man, that this album when

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:43.239
<v Speaker 1>it came out fight even a month ago, we'd be

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 1>having a whole different conversation. I'm even thinking about throwing

0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it in there. That's why I want to listen to

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:49.880
<v Speaker 1>it to night in this entirety. And I want to

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't want to seem biased, because see

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 1>when I talk about you were eight, I don't want

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:57.000
<v Speaker 1>nobody thinking of he's just saying that because he got this. No,

0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 1>it ain't like that.

0:34:57.640 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm very honest, it might be top Yeah, I don't

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 6>know that's that's I don't know.

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 1>If it's top twenty, bro, but it's for sure.

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.440
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if I was banging more than the

0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 6>shadiest one, but I'm sure y'all don't have the shadiest

0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 6>one in this proper position.

0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know the shadiest one is actually one

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:16.480
<v Speaker 1>of our records in that though, top Man. That's to

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:17.720
<v Speaker 1>wait and find out, like everybody.

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So it's somewhere in the top twenty five.

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, somewhere okay.

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:23.319
<v Speaker 6>Long because if it wasn't in the top twenty five,

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.480
<v Speaker 6>I wasn't gonna I was gonna disregard y'all opinion completely.

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:30.200
<v Speaker 1>You know it is man Dubb put his foot in this,

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:33.600
<v Speaker 1>But I would say, man to cancel these nuts. Man,

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you know it's hard to defind it. See,

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:39.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe in calling the record the classic, Man

0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:40.799
<v Speaker 1>until it's been out. You don't know if it's in

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the classic to ten years down the line.

0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:45.440
<v Speaker 6>Well to me, it ain't even I don't even use

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:47.200
<v Speaker 6>that term no more because I don't know if we

0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:49.120
<v Speaker 6>have the time for it. But what I definitely want

0:35:49.120 --> 0:35:51.560
<v Speaker 6>to do is make it a timestamp of twenty twenty

0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:55.400
<v Speaker 6>three and twenty four. I want you to feel like, eventually,

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 6>somewhere along the line, this album had to mean something

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:01.240
<v Speaker 6>to you or represented something, or you didn't like something

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:03.680
<v Speaker 6>about it during that time. And I think that that

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:05.839
<v Speaker 6>becomes the goal now that we got it out, because

0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 6>we didn't do a ton of marketing up front. What's

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:10.719
<v Speaker 6>funny is we just start marketing and idea this week

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:13.919
<v Speaker 6>and people starting to see the ideas and like it's

0:36:13.920 --> 0:36:15.880
<v Speaker 6>crazy to watch them come to life and people just

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 6>be enamored, like wow, you know what I mean.

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 3>And we just I can say one thing is doing

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:24.880
<v Speaker 3>is bringing back the feeling of man, uh, I'm glad

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 3>you saying it.

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Somebody needs to say.

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 3>It's hands down is getting that reaction so I can.

0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:35.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's definitely a recovery mission. It's not a discovery

0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 6>mission like hip hop used to be. It's more of

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:40.520
<v Speaker 6>a like recovering the thing that the West Coast represented.

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:43.399
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, for sure we got I know, we got

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:45.319
<v Speaker 1>a few people on this platform. So this is what
