Like Sometimes people come up to 83 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: you and you don't think, like this person is going 84 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: to be like yeah. 85 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: I get that a lot.

I feel like, 92 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: I think if it wasn't for well, I won't say 93 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: if it wasn't for weed now, if it wasn't for we, 94 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: but let's just say if it wasn't for weed, a 95 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: lot of things would be a lot different. I think 96 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: the weed, you know, and hip hop at least brings 97 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: a lot of us together, especially the ones that know 98 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 2: about it right and in the correct way. 99 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: How interesting is it to see a lot of people 100 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: getting into the cannabis space that never were like that before, 101 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, because certain people are looking I'd be like, Okay, 102 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: this person knows about about weed.

I like to wait till 173 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 3: it gets to a few rounds back and forth, then 174 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: I go in, listen, make my judgment. But there are 175 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: no It's like a fight. You can't tell a person 176 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: how to fight, like you may not accept or like 177 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: how a person fights. But if you're on a like, 178 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 3: I can't say, fight somebody on the street and tell them, hey, don't. 179 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 5: Bite me right like they might want to bite you, 180 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 5: kick you, poke you in your eyes. 181 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: So when you get into an altercation, you have to 182 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: expect the person to go all out and want to 183 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: win the altercation by all means necessary. So I get 184 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: one and to see I personally would like to see 185 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: a lot more unity within the ladies are rap because 186 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 3: I feel that it'd be good and greater for the 187 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 3: younger ladies, like they always say, uh like, I don't 188 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: really separate when it comes to MC, and the MC 189 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 3: is an MC. If you're great and you're good, you're good. 190 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: So I don't look really ever put anything in the box, 191 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 3: but generally society does. 192 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 5: And nobody wants to see. 193 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: Black queens going at each other like that, So I 194 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: think that's that's where it may feel funny. But once 195 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 3: you got an MC problem, like I think I'm forty nine, 196 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 3: so the new generation is soft to me with everything 197 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 3: in life, Like everything in life is kind of softly, football, basketball, baseball, 198 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: talking school. You think that's a bad thing, bad, ain't good. 199 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 3: I think everything's a double edged sword. I think I 200 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,239 Speaker 3: think it's a bad thing because it takes out the competition. 201 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: It takes out the competitiveness in people, like you're supposed 202 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: to aim the one to be the best. 203 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: We can't all be winners. 204 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 5: We can't all be winners. 205 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: And everywhere everybody doesn't deserve a trophy, Like I don't 206 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 3: like that everybody gets a trophy ever, Okay it's not cool, 207 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: like you suck, Yeah, you suck. You don't deserve the trophy. 208 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: The winner gets the trophy, Like, do better next time 209 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: and get the trophy. But you know that's my personal opinion. 210 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 3: So but uh, if you gotta expect that though, like 211 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: if you if you got beef with a person. 212 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: Like they're gonna pull whatever they have. 213 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 5: They're gonna do what they gotta do, Like you know 214 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 5: what I mean. 215 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: Have you ever been like in the midst of all 216 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: of your beast, what was the time that you were 217 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: most offended? 218 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: Like, were well man our partners with I guess we're 219 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: funny because we would play the disrecords. 220 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 5: It'd be like that was funny, that was good. 221 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: Like we would go about it like he said that 222 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 3: that was funny, that was that was hilarious, like you 223 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: know what I. 224 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 5: Mean, And then you get back in the studio and 225 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 5: go back to at it. 226 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 3: I think if they go hard enough at some point, 227 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: then they would meet the middle ground and become cool. 228 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: Okay, hopefully. 229 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: I think that's what's the run.

And I'm so 505 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: glad you're doing your party because I feel like we 506 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of good parties here like that anymore. 507 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: You know, that's a fact New York culture. I won't 508 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: say it's dead, because it's still alive in a certain place. 509 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 3: I threw a couple of dope parties in the past 510 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 3: here I was, I was at all of us. 511 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: It used to be weekly aves, definitely that everybody went to, 512 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, Harlem. I mean when I definitely we used 513 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: to be outside and I don't feel like and events. Yes, 514 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: we have that because there's always something going on here, 515 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: but I just feel like as far as like a 516 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: weekly spot where you know, you could go to, we 517 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: don't have. 518 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 5: That's definitely needed. I think that. 519 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 3: I think that's why the music. I'm not going to say, 520 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: because there's a lot of dope young artists. I'm not 521 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: one of the old people who are hating on the 522 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 3: younger artists. I just believe it was more effect of 523 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 3: the culture. When people are able to be around each 524 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 3: other and share the energy, and that makes for a 525 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 3: terrific atmosphere, to say the least. 526 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: We used to have to go outside to here.
