- 3:23Speaker 2: own six. Okay, okay, by no Future is really deliberate
- 3:28Speaker 2: about okay, okay.
- 3:29Speaker 5: He's gonna tell you from East Atlanta the cat right.
- 3:32Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
- 3:33Speaker 2: People will be deliberate about what's the East Atlanta? What's
- 3:36Speaker 2: thetor what's the section?
- 3:37Speaker 5: Is a big difference, bro, not Atlanta.
- 3:41Speaker 3: I know that. But if you say the east side.
- 3:44Speaker 4: East side is not East Atlanta, the east side is
- 3:46Speaker 4: when you pass east Side is Canting Road all the
- 3:48Speaker 4: way back, it's the east Side.
- 3:52Speaker 1: And then I learned a lot. First of all, my
- 3:55Speaker 1: wife's from locked On. You shout out to Tennis. You
- 3:57Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Learn a lot about side that's the east side, gotcha.
- 4:00Speaker 2: And then but people from Latoia say they from Latownia.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Yeah, now they do say they from lato Onia.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Now Bruce Street.
- 4:09Speaker 4: Everybody from Bruce Street always claim Bruce Street. This is
- 4:11Speaker 4: what I could always say. I had times on Bruce
- 4:13Speaker 4: Street too.
- 4:16Speaker 1: What types of Tracy T?
- 4:17Speaker 5: Yeah, shot Tracy T. You know what I'm saying. And
- 4:19Speaker 5: it's before I even knew Tracy T. I'm like seventeen eighteen.
- 4:22Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. You should get money in
- 4:24Speaker 4: Bruce Street. For sure, they get money once.
- 4:26Speaker 6: The reason why, the reason why I'm asking because you know,
- 4:28Speaker 6: the viewers are gonna be like, okay, when because people
- 4:31Speaker 6: consume a lot of music, right, so when rappers are
- 4:33Speaker 6: saying I'm from here, I'm from there from that, you
- 4:35Speaker 6: know people like, okay, I heard of that. But what's
- 4:38Speaker 6: the difference, because if you come to Atlanta, most people
- 4:40Speaker 6: from Atlanta be like the east Side is decayed first time.
- 4:43Speaker 2: First of all, they gonna stay in the nice area.
- 4:46Speaker 2: They're gonna stay in Buckhead, Atlantics.
- 4:48Speaker 4: Ye, nobody has ever really talked about the makeup of Atlanta,
- 4:54Speaker 4: because ain't nobody never really just talked about it, Like
- 4:57Speaker 4: you go to CALLI you know the makeups?
- 5:00Speaker 5: What hoods?
- 5:00Speaker 3: What New York?
- 5:01Speaker 5: You know what hoods?
- 5:02Speaker 6: What?
- 5:03Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Even in Florida, little bit
- 5:04Speaker 4: in Miami. You can't know you know what I'm saying,
- 5:06Speaker 4: But people really don't know here, and it's because nobody
- 5:09Speaker 4: really talked about it.
- 5:10Speaker 5: Because half the.
- 5:11Speaker 4: People who really be saying they're from Atlanta don't really
- 5:13Speaker 4: be from Atlanta. And the people who say they be
- 5:15Speaker 4: from Alama who make it only really know about the
- 5:17Speaker 4: side of town.
- 5:18Speaker 2: So when people say they're from Atlanta, it needs to
- 5:20Speaker 2: be the City of Atlanta correct to properly say that.
- 5:23Speaker 4: Let me say this for because I say this all
- 5:25Speaker 4: the time, people ask me this for anybody who's even saying,
- 5:28Speaker 4: listen to Amaretta song, all right, it's to Atlanta's okay,
- 5:33Speaker 4: you got the city of Atlanta.
- 5:34Speaker 5: You got Metro Atlanta.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Metro Atlanta is the greater part of Atlanta, the city
- 5:38Speaker 1: of Atlanta.
- 5:39Speaker 2: That's like Sandy Springs because that counts, right, yes, even
- 5:42Speaker 2: though Sandy Springs is really Atlanta, because it's.
- 5:45Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
- 5:46Speaker 1: We got South Fort County.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Yeah, we got South Forwardia too, you know what I'm saying.
- 5:50Speaker 5: But so it's crazy Slot. Yeah, so anything around twenty
- 5:54Speaker 5: five they call it Metro Atlanta. Correct. So that's why
- 5:56Speaker 5: they put the Brain Stadium.
- 5:57Speaker 4: In Cork County County because it's too eighty five the
- 6:01Speaker 4: Metro Atlanta. Correct, you see what I'm saying. But Metro
- 6:04Speaker 4: Atlanta is not Atlanta. So when people say what's on
- 6:08Speaker 4: umbrell saying not Atlanta, she's talking about the city of Atlanta.
- 6:12Speaker 4: So if your address and say Atlanta, Georgia southwest, east west, northwest.
- 6:19Speaker 5: You ain't from Atlanta. This is how simple it is.
- 6:22Speaker 4: And when you're talking east Atlanta, East Atlanta stops after
- 6:25Speaker 4: Gresham and it picks back up on Boulder Crash, that
- 6:30Speaker 4: see it. But on two eighty five, the Boulder Crash
- 6:33Speaker 4: and to the point when it go to gross Raw
- 6:35Speaker 4: right there, that's the only part of Atlanta.
- 6:37Speaker 5: Everything on both sides of the county east's crazy unless
- 6:41Speaker 5: you go down some more and it turns its own three.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Now, have you ever like explored the north sides, because
- 6:47Speaker 2: I know it's two north sides. I had to figure
- 6:49Speaker 2: that out. Eighty five North, you got tom County seventy
- 6:52Speaker 2: five North.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Seventy five North is the original north North. So if
- 6:56Speaker 4: you told me you I'm from the North, I'm gonna
- 6:58Speaker 4: say you're from Marietta. Now, what is the north. Marriage
- 7:01Speaker 4: is north of Atlanta.
- 7:02Speaker 1: But the north.
- 7:05Speaker 3: And then it's the north.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Yeah, but see it's okay, it's only east west, south Atlanta.
- 7:10Speaker 4: It's it ain't nothing else, ain't nothing else. When it
- 7:14Speaker 4: comes to what we're talking about. You know what I'm saying,
- 7:17Speaker 4: ain't nothing else. You know what I'm saying, ain't when
- 7:21Speaker 4: it comes to zones, for real, it ain't there but one, three, four.
- 7:25Speaker 5: And six for real? Right it right now? Is it?
- 7:29Speaker 6: Is?
- 7:29Speaker 5: It? Two? Is five years?
- 7:31Speaker 1: But that's like nice parts of town?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Right?
- 7:35Speaker 1: So what is zone two? Like? Zone two is like.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Birdhead like p like going towards the north and eastern.
- 7:43Speaker 5: Part of Atlanta.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Nobody ever says that.
- 7:45Speaker 5: No, because it ain't no hoods out there, you know
- 7:47Speaker 5: what I'm saying.
- 7:48Speaker 6: And I don't think anybody's rapping in in bucket.
- 7:51Speaker 2: It ain't just there's some people that stay in bucket though,
- 7:53Speaker 2: that could not that rap that could say it.
- 7:55Speaker 4: But people claiming zones because this their neighborhood, for sure.
- 8:01Speaker 4: See Baked, then it wasn't games, It was zones. It
- 8:05Speaker 4: was just closing claim your zone.
- 8:06Speaker 1: But isn't the zones? Correct me if I'm wrong? Wasn't
- 8:08Speaker 1: the zones created from the police department.
- 8:11Speaker 4: That's how the police, they separated police of town, how
- 8:15Speaker 4: they where they're gonna patrol. Got it, you know what
- 8:17Speaker 4: I'm saying. Everybody got their borders. And I worked for
- 8:19Speaker 4: his own one police precinct. I want for his own
- 8:21Speaker 4: full precinct zone full police. Don't go to bank Head
- 8:25Speaker 4: because there's on this on one police got it. So

- 16:00Speaker 4: I quit the group before they did it, when they

- 16:06Speaker 4: I'll tell you, I ain't quit the group like three
- 16:08Speaker 4: times because I just you know, me making that music
- 16:13Speaker 4: was me. But I always felt like I couldn't rap
- 16:16Speaker 4: about my real lifestyle because you ain't.
- 16:20Speaker 5: Going to jail.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Mmm, because you were still.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Twenty years later, look twenty five years, twenty years later,
- 16:26Speaker 4: Look what we're going through. I seen this shit way
- 16:29Speaker 4: back then. I was told. I told you I always
- 16:31Speaker 4: been intelligent. I always been smart. I always have always
- 16:34Speaker 4: been intellect you know what I'm saying. So I was like,
- 16:37Speaker 4: I ain't doing it. But if you listen to all
- 16:39Speaker 4: my verses, all my verses only talking about street shit.
- 16:42Speaker 4: I just knew how to rap it. I tell you say,
- 16:44Speaker 4: pop a pill with me, take a shot with me,
- 16:46Speaker 4: Shot with me. I'm laying with a rock with and
- 16:48Speaker 4: everybody's saying it gotta peelup, pop with me, Gonna take
- 16:51Speaker 4: a shot with me, and nobody thinking about this ship.
- 16:56Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, What the fuck we popping?
- 16:57Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 16:57Speaker 6: Because Yeah, it's the it's the be, it's the Melodie,
- 17:01Speaker 6: it's the fun record.
- 17:02Speaker 5: I learned that a long time ago.
- 17:04Speaker 6: Why do you think artists today don't understand the difference
- 17:07Speaker 6: between I feel like the reality in the industry because
- 17:12Speaker 6: artists that did come out around that time, people was
- 17:14Speaker 6: rapping about certain stuff. But you know, like, man, they
- 17:17Speaker 6: so far removed from that. They not They ain't got there.
- 17:21Speaker 1: It's a lot more coded.
- 17:24Speaker 4: They knew how to dress it up back then. Now
- 17:27Speaker 4: some people are still good. I think it's the reason
- 17:29Speaker 4: is because people ain't. I think this is a problem
- 17:31Speaker 4: with people in general, especially the black people. They don't
- 17:37Speaker 4: know who they don't know who they are. If you
- 17:40Speaker 4: don't know who you are, you don't know who to be.
- 17:43Speaker 4: You know, who to be.
- 17:44Speaker 5: You gonna be whatever whatever you feel like makes you
- 17:47Speaker 5: feel good. You see what I'm saying.
- 17:49Speaker 4: I was a street nigga dancing, but I like to dance,
- 17:55Speaker 4: so I wasn't tripping. But every nigga who knew me,
- 17:58Speaker 4: if you, if you mentioned my name to anybody dancing,
- 18:01Speaker 4: I never come up.
- 18:02Speaker 5: I'm the only one in my group dance. I do
- 18:07Speaker 5: want to.
- 18:08Speaker 1: I do want to.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I do appreciate number one year podcast Apartments Fire.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Appreciate.
- 18:16Speaker 1: I actually watch that.
- 18:17Speaker 5: Appreciate I can.
- 18:18Speaker 2: I have an appreciation for your podcast.
- 18:22Speaker 1: That was a good pivot for you. What made you
- 18:24Speaker 1: want to get into interviewing and podcasters?
- 18:27Speaker 5: Shit? I want for real, for real? No, no, I
- 18:31Speaker 5: told you.
- 18:32Speaker 4: Everything I do comes off me being real, me hustling,
- 18:35Speaker 4: or me trying to educate. I feel like I'm really
- 18:38Speaker 4: like the last of the original o GZ. You know
- 18:40Speaker 4: how the tech books is broken stuff. I don't need
- 18:42Speaker 4: the textbook. I got it out here. I know it.
- 18:44Speaker 4: I ain't got to read it. I've seen I know
- 18:46Speaker 4: how to feel it. I'm the last. I understand how
- 18:48Speaker 4: to sacrifice what I need to sacrifice for a ship
- 18:51Speaker 4: around me. You know, what I'm saying, I've been understood that.
- 18:54Speaker 4: So what happened was I just wanted to educate little
- 18:58Speaker 4: niggas on ship because every time I talk to somebody,
- 19:01Speaker 4: old heads be like ya, nigga don't listen. They don't
- 19:04Speaker 4: listen nobody. But every time I talk to a young nigga,
- 19:08Speaker 4: he listen to me. So I couldn't really understand it. Shit,
- 19:11Speaker 4: like what you mean, that's the fun they do? They listen.
- 19:14Speaker 4: So I said, you know, it ain't no more projects,
- 19:15Speaker 4: so you don't get a chance to have people to
- 19:17Speaker 4: come up under, you know, to give the game and
- 19:19Speaker 4: show you right between wrong. They pretty much learning from experience,
- 19:22Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So I said, shit, I
- 19:24Speaker 4: could do a podcast. Why could she just get a game?
- 19:28Speaker 4: So I say, I'm gonna do og talk all right.
- 19:31Speaker 4: So I started coming to the idea and I'm like,
- 19:33Speaker 4: what I'm gonna do, How I'm gonna do it, you know.
- 19:35Speaker 5: What I'm saying. So then we're throwing ideas around.
- 19:37Speaker 4: So before I even got a chance to even do podcasts,
- 19:40Speaker 4: I started doing lives on Instagram called paperwork Sunday. While
- 19:45Speaker 4: I was just reading everybody's paperwork from Atlanta.
- 19:49Speaker 5: It's like they ten ninety jakes. I've been doing that.
- 19:52Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I been did that, you
- 19:54Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So I'm doing this every Sunday.
- 19:56Speaker 4: Every Sunday, we getting like three thousand people, four thousand people,
- 20:00Speaker 4: seven thousand people. I'm telling people were starting at nine
- 20:02Speaker 4: o'clock nine, no fire, here my phone ringing.
- 20:05Speaker 3: Bro.
- 20:05Speaker 5: We ain't Bro, we got the blunt rolled up. Hey,
- 20:07Speaker 5: we got the liquor. We like it like a real show. Bro.
- 20:09Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Then it I was doing it because I wanted to
- 20:14Speaker 4: put niggas up on game without mean.
- 20:18Speaker 5: I'm from the streets.
- 20:19Speaker 4: I can't go i can't cod to you ro and
- 20:21Speaker 4: say hey boy, bet snitching. Bro, You're gonna be like nigga.
- 20:26Speaker 6: What right?
- 20:27Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying right right out of here. Yeah,
- 20:30Speaker 4: and only it's only two ways to do it. So
- 20:32Speaker 4: you could tell a nigga that, or you could take
- 20:34Speaker 4: a niggas of paperwork either either either.
- 20:37Speaker 5: Or a nigga gonna take it how you wanna take it.
- 20:40Speaker 4: And if you got relationship with a person and he's
- 20:42Speaker 4: not a real nigga, he ain't never gonna dress it
- 20:45Speaker 4: like that.
- 20:46Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
- 20:47Speaker 4: But I know some real niggas who I fuck with
- 20:49Speaker 4: who I don't have that type of relationship because if
- 20:52Speaker 4: I come, tell you I want to be able to
- 20:54Speaker 4: tea and you'd be like Paul, if you telling me, Bro,
- 20:56Speaker 4: I'm looking.
- 20:57Speaker 3: This shit, Bro, how do you get paperwork?
- 21:00Speaker 5: Public information?
- 21:02Speaker 3: Way would believe you.
- 21:04Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, because because I tell people
- 21:06Speaker 6: all the time, you get in my car, anything, you
- 21:08Speaker 6: got it, they pull you over.
- 21:10Speaker 4: But listen, I'm snitched, but listen, listen. But that ain't
- 21:14Speaker 4: but listen for one for one only goes to people
- 21:18Speaker 4: who live that lifestyle.
- 21:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a civilian.
- 21:21Speaker 5: If you don't live, I've snitched you.
- 21:25Speaker 4: Even in the situation that you just said, it's not snitching,
- 21:28Speaker 4: you're telling the person listen and y'all agreeing to You
- 21:30Speaker 4: get in the car and they say it's yours. You're
- 21:32Speaker 4: taking yours, right, and they say yeah. If they come
- 21:35Speaker 4: and the police say we walk and they don't take us,
- 21:37Speaker 4: you say yeah, you just he don't say no, he
- 21:40Speaker 4: don't say nothing. You say, oh that buddy right there,
- 21:42Speaker 4: Especially if you don't live a lifestyle then hey, bro,
- 21:45Speaker 4: you ain't snitched no that. First of all, what type
- 21:48Speaker 4: of real nigga don't want to take your ship?
- 21:52Speaker 6: M First of all, man, every everybody's around until it's
- 21:56Speaker 6: time to go to. That happens until until it's time
- 21:58Speaker 6: to go to.
- 22:00Speaker 4: So being in the streets, you have to start identifying
- 22:02Speaker 4: them people before you even put them in your car.
- 22:05Speaker 4: You gotta know them people characters and how they is
- 22:06Speaker 4: and what they'll do before you even putting the people
- 22:08Speaker 4: on your car. Because when it happened, you can't bitch
- 22:10Speaker 4: more on a complaint because you made the decision to
- 22:12Speaker 4: let this nigga ride with you. So now you gotta
- 22:16Speaker 4: stand on street principles. Take your ad to jail, sen
- 22:18Speaker 4: your ad jail, take her to court. Fight that shit.
- 22:20Speaker 4: Come home, Tell buddy he gonna take the charge, Make
- 22:22Speaker 4: him go read nnion statement, fuck him up. Whatever you're
- 22:25Speaker 4: gonna do or fight your charge. That what you gotta do,
- 22:27Speaker 4: because that's what you signed up for. They like being
- 22:29Speaker 4: a parent. You can't say when you want to be
- 22:30Speaker 4: a parent when you don't want to be a parent,
- 22:32Speaker 4: sure cause that what you signed up for. And you
- 22:34Speaker 4: don't have no baby, nigga.
- 22:35Speaker 5: Put a rob on. Stop skinning them, you know what
- 22:37Speaker 5: I'm saying.
- 22:38Speaker 4: So when you take certain responsibilities, you can't divert from
- 22:42Speaker 4: that shit and be like, oh no, it ain't mine.
- 22:45Speaker 4: No nigga, you shouldn't have had them with your nigga. And
- 22:47Speaker 4: now if you're a real gainster and you're a real
- 22:49Speaker 4: street nigga, now it start teaching how to learn from
- 22:51Speaker 4: your mistakes. Now you start saying, nah, you know what, Nah,
- 22:54Speaker 4: he can't rob me. I'm gonna ride by myself. No,
- 22:56Speaker 4: I'm gonna do it by myself. Oh nah, okay, let
- 22:58Speaker 4: me vent him real quick. Let me see where you're from.
- 23:00Speaker 4: You know why you want to hang with me? Where
- 23:02Speaker 4: your old crew at?
- 23:02Speaker 5: Nigga?
- 23:03Speaker 4: What the what the nigga used to hang with? Why
- 23:05Speaker 4: you don't hang with them no more? If y'all, if
- 23:06Speaker 4: y'allre tight like that, you wouldn't be trying to hang
- 23:08Speaker 4: with me.
- 23:08Speaker 5: He every day? What the fuck?
- 23:09Speaker 4: Then you'll start processing shit different, you know what I'm saying.
- 23:12Speaker 4: And then you start probably saying processing shit different and
- 23:15Speaker 4: start helping you out in your street business. Now you're
- 23:17Speaker 4: standing away from police. Now you ain't getting for this.
- 23:19Speaker 4: Now you ain't getting raw. Now, niggas ain't lying to
- 23:21Speaker 4: you now your circle type. But niggas don't understand it
- 23:24Speaker 4: because they ain't real within themselves. That's why niggas try
- 23:26Speaker 4: to do all this other music and try to be
- 23:28Speaker 4: hard on music and really hard. A lot of these
- 23:31Speaker 4: niggas do the pump your ship up in the mirror
- 23:34Speaker 4: beat that niggas after tomorrow when I get to school, Yeah, woman,
- 23:36Speaker 4: beat that nigga hit boo boom, boom boom, and you
- 23:38Speaker 4: keep telling yourself that in the mirror, you gonna think
- 23:41Speaker 4: that shit in your head and that would you rapid
- 23:43Speaker 4: be doing. So that's why these niggas don't be theyself
- 23:46Speaker 4: because that's not them in real life.
- 23:48Speaker 5: M you know what I'm saying.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Clip that one up? Okay, question man, it's two plays.

- 28:26Speaker 4: I be real direct and I and I understand how
- 28:31Speaker 4: it's perceived because I understand that how the conversation will
- 28:35Speaker 4: happened last, especially in line with little down or of
- 28:38Speaker 4: course remember that, remember that at twenty twenty, Like I didn't,
- 28:42Speaker 4: I wasn't really in tune. But I mean, you get
- 28:44Speaker 4: on sood videos, so I understand what was going on.
- 28:49Speaker 4: I don't know to the detail, so I understand me
- 28:52Speaker 4: saying this is kind of like pulling the band aid
- 28:54Speaker 4: off of womb, even though it's not the same womb
- 28:56Speaker 4: for sure, you know what I'm saying, And so it
- 29:00Speaker 4: rupted a lot of feelings. But I was di rittened
- 29:02Speaker 4: on what I said. I said, don't know, DJ break records,
- 29:06Speaker 4: no more. Don't know DJs play no records eight times
- 29:09Speaker 4: in the club.
- 29:10Speaker 5: No more. They don't do that three days.
- 29:13Speaker 4: Don't come and play the record, play the play the record,
- 29:16Speaker 4: the hook on the play the hook on the record
- 29:18Speaker 4: at the beginning of the night, then bring it back,
- 29:21Speaker 4: play the whole song, probably play the hook again, drop
- 29:24Speaker 4: it and the song. In the middle of the club
- 29:26Speaker 4: starting to get popped, everybody going to get their drinks
- 29:29Speaker 4: and doing that. Now he gonna spind it. He gonna
- 29:31Speaker 4: play the whole hook, the whole verse, he gonna bring
- 29:34Speaker 4: it back, play the whole song again, and then when
- 29:36Speaker 4: the song get popped out, he gonna do that again.
- 29:38Speaker 4: He gonna do that every night to your programming in
- 29:40Speaker 4: your head. And now you're like, that's.
- 29:41Speaker 1: A hit, right. But I'm not speaking for all DJs,
- 29:46Speaker 1: because I do DJ.
- 29:48Speaker 2: I gotta feel like doing that. A song has to
- 29:51Speaker 2: move me enough to make me say I'm going to
- 29:55Speaker 2: do that. I'm going to do.
- 29:56Speaker 1: That whether you you you like it or you don't
- 29:59Speaker 1: like it.
- 29:59Speaker 2: I agree, And I'm not speaking for all DJs or
- 30:02Speaker 2: speaking for myself. I haven't heard a song that made
- 30:05Speaker 2: me want to do that in a long time. If
- 30:08Speaker 2: I hear a song that makes me want to do that,
- 30:10Speaker 2: I will do that.
- 30:10Speaker 1: I mean, you feel that catches my opinions.
- 30:14Speaker 5: But you you have a resume for doing that. Okay,
- 30:17Speaker 5: so you can't.
- 30:18Speaker 1: You can't can yourself, Like I said, Okay.
- 30:20Speaker 4: A lot of time when we like it's like it's
- 30:23Speaker 4: like if somebody came came, if it's like ten offs
- 30:25Speaker 4: in here, somebody came in and say I'd be all y'all, lass,
- 30:28Speaker 4: I'm not finna jump up and be.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Like who you talking to? You see what I'm saying?
- 30:32Speaker 1: For sure?
- 30:33Speaker 4: So a lot of times, like I just said, sometimes
- 30:36Speaker 4: you have to learn and know how to tune certain
- 30:38Speaker 4: shit out right, you know what I'm saying. It's like
- 30:39Speaker 4: a nigga say, if motherfuckers say, don't nobody trap no more,
- 30:42Speaker 4: I'll be like, well you dead.
- 30:43Speaker 5: That ain't right. I can name you twenty trap nigga
- 30:45Speaker 5: right now, I can take I can go to twenty.
- 30:47Speaker 4: Trap spot right now and the old school trapping, but
- 30:50Speaker 4: don't nobody trap no more? I understand that. You see
- 30:53Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So I wouldn't be like, oh shit,
- 30:55Speaker 4: niggas still trapping. Because generally it's true statement.
- 30:59Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
- 31:00Speaker 4: So when I say that, I mean it because general
- 31:02Speaker 4: is a true statement. Because if it was somebody breaking records,
- 31:05Speaker 4: who was a record breaker, like Montay said, you got vibers,
- 31:09Speaker 4: you got tone setters, you got people keep the cloud right,
- 31:12Speaker 4: then you got openers. Then he was naming them, but
- 31:15Speaker 4: he was like one no, he was like, and then
- 31:17Speaker 4: you got record breakers. You know what I'm saying. If
- 31:19Speaker 4: it was a record breaker. Everybody in the industry, I
- 31:22Speaker 4: know who the fuck he is, and they'd be like him.
- 31:24Speaker 4: You know how I know because everybody came to DJ
- 31:26Speaker 4: t Rock.
- 31:27Speaker 5: I was there.
- 31:28Speaker 4: I witnessed it. I watched it happen. I watched it
- 31:30Speaker 4: happen when nobody would know what was going on. I
- 31:32Speaker 4: watched it when it started getting big. I watched it
- 31:34Speaker 4: when it got big. I watched it when it flourished.
- 31:36Speaker 4: I watched every song that came up hit in the
- 31:38Speaker 4: pool Palace. But get a get a deal. I watched it,
- 31:41Speaker 4: So can't nobody tell me nothing. I experienced it, and
- 31:45Speaker 4: I experienced every record label, every every record label from
- 31:49Speaker 4: big and small, say I have to take my record
- 31:51Speaker 4: and my artist to the pool Palace. I watched it,
- 31:55Speaker 4: so I can't. I can't determine how somebody else do it.
- 31:58Speaker 4: I know that's how it happened, and I've seen it happen.
- 32:00Speaker 4: I have seen t Rock go a whole night and
- 32:02Speaker 4: play nothing but songs you never heard, and every night
- 32:05Speaker 4: everybody's going crazy. I seen it, so if it was
- 32:08Speaker 4: a record breaker, everybody would know what it was. When
- 32:11Speaker 4: I'm on the call with with Cadi fe Bankhead Money
- 32:14Speaker 4: I said, well, breaking records. Who are you taking a record
- 32:16Speaker 4: right now? Everybody said, uh, ain't no record breakers?
- 32:19Speaker 6: Damn Well, you know you know another thing too. I
- 32:22Speaker 6: think that a lot of DJ's are afraid to play
- 32:24Speaker 6: the new records.
- 32:26Speaker 3: It's now.
- 32:26Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong, No, no, it is.
- 32:32Speaker 1: You don't like the word afraid.
- 32:33Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna tell you.
- 32:34Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you why I agree with him because
- 32:36Speaker 4: t Rock went through this, so I understand this too.
- 32:38Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, And now I know it's
- 32:40Speaker 4: other factors. So I'm not saying that this is just like.
- 32:44Speaker 1: You guys because I'm over here, especially in the top
- 32:47Speaker 1: top is not afraid.
- 32:48Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. But it's not so I'm not.
- 32:50Speaker 4: When I said that, I wasn't saying that in this entirety.
- 32:52Speaker 1: I got you.
- 32:53Speaker 5: I was just talking about directly. Club don't do that
- 32:55Speaker 5: no more.
- 32:55Speaker 4: I understand the radio, in the in social media, TikTok,
- 32:59Speaker 4: I'd stand that that plays the part.
- 33:01Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, even though I still feel.
- 33:03Speaker 4: Like there's no excuse for it. You know what I'm saying,
- 33:05Speaker 4: Atlanta hasn't.
- 33:06Speaker 5: We don't. We don't have a chartered artist or new
- 33:09Speaker 5: artist in the past two years. It's a problem.
- 33:11Speaker 1: I said that.
- 33:12Speaker 5: Though it's a problem.
- 33:13Speaker 3: I noticed that too.
- 33:13Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, that's a problem.
- 33:14Speaker 2: We have four five every year because every year and
- 33:18Speaker 2: because not to interrupt, I'm gonna let you finish, because
- 33:20Speaker 2: Memphis has it right now.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Yes, Detroit even had a couple. You know what I'm saying.
- 33:25Speaker 5: Everybody comes down here to get it.
- 33:26Speaker 2: And they come here to get it, to come here
- 33:29Speaker 2: to you what I'm saying, they come here.
- 33:30Speaker 1: We got the number one set of producers in the
- 33:32Speaker 1: country for sure.
- 33:33Speaker 6: And I mean we we we do what I will say,
- 33:37Speaker 6: We do have DJs that do support artists, and that's
- 33:40Speaker 6: what I really say.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Definitely do he said, support, Definitely do definitely right, Yeah,
- 33:45Speaker 2: because like you go to other.
- 33:46Speaker 5: Cities, right and I'm included. I'm include right, I'm included
- 33:50Speaker 5: in that, you know what I'm saying. So I do.
- 33:52Speaker 5: So that's why I say I wasn't saying.
- 33:54Speaker 4: DJ's is not important. I want saying DJ I want
- 33:57Speaker 4: listen I said this that, don't start. Don't put words
- 34:00Speaker 4: in my mouth. Don't say I said, because I can stand.
- 34:02Speaker 2: That's a trigger that's a trigger for a lot of DJs.
- 34:04Speaker 2: I can say because yes, but it's just a trigger.
- 34:07Speaker 5: And that's why I understand.
- 34:08Speaker 4: So that's why I ain't approaching it like I because
- 34:12Speaker 4: I can have the conversation with you. I know it's
- 34:14Speaker 4: a lot of fact. It's like to bet what he's saying.
- 34:17Speaker 4: It's a fear factor because it's one like DJ t
- 34:21Speaker 4: Rock broke all on records. Did he get the recognition
- 34:27Speaker 4: nor the funds? No, he should have got all he contributed.
- 34:31Speaker 4: That's why DJs are scared. That's why I'm gonna tell you.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Why I don't want to say scared hesitant.
- 34:38Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you why I can I like to,
- 34:40Speaker 4: I can go, I can go for I understand that
- 34:42Speaker 4: hesitant word choices really be because only because the choice.
- 34:45Speaker 2: The reason why I want to say hesitant, because I
- 34:48Speaker 2: myself and Fly got DC broke a lot of records
- 34:50Speaker 2: on the radio.
- 34:51Speaker 1: I learned that from Greg Street.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Greg Street taught me and taught me particularly how the
- 34:56Speaker 2: great records on the radio, which you basically don't even
- 34:58Speaker 2: happen right now anymore anymore.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Little Baby, my dog.
- 35:02Speaker 2: I took six songs out and we played that shit
- 35:06Speaker 2: for twenty five minutes straight on the radio, got suspended
- 35:09Speaker 2: for a whole week job.
- 35:10Speaker 1: I was job. We were scared. I say that to say,
- 35:14Speaker 1: because I mean, ain't nothing really happened for me after that.
- 35:18Speaker 1: I just was like, oh, okay, you know did the
- 35:20Speaker 1: same thing.
- 35:20Speaker 2: Megan Study did the same thing, the Red Shawan did
- 35:22Speaker 2: the same thing for Rddy Rich did the same thing
- 35:24Speaker 2: for Jack Harlow, did the same thing.
- 35:26Speaker 1: For all these artists. And I didn't really get no
- 35:28Speaker 1: benefit out of it.
- 35:29Speaker 2: It was like, it was cool my name got mentioned
- 35:31Speaker 2: in the Complex magazine a few times, but it's nothing
- 35:34Speaker 2: life changing.
- 35:35Speaker 5: It didn't do like I got the key, I gotta
- 35:37Speaker 5: fix it that.
- 35:37Speaker 1: It didn't really like you know.
- 35:40Speaker 4: The merger, the merger to both the both is is
- 35:45Speaker 4: and I think this is where we struggled in our
- 35:47Speaker 4: black culture. We be scared to take care of business.
- 35:52Speaker 4: HM were scared to talk up front business because we
- 35:57Speaker 4: be scared of.
- 35:58Speaker 5: We don't want the fuck the ARPORTU for sure. You
- 36:01Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.
- 36:03Speaker 4: Only thing you motherfucker I do is say hey, parlay,
- 36:06Speaker 4: listen and put my job online for going to break
- 36:09Speaker 4: their motherfucker boy.
- 36:10Speaker 5: What we're gonna do.
- 36:11Speaker 4: Hey, boy, shit, I need fifteen percent whatever you make
- 36:14Speaker 4: on your fuck what it is? Fifteen five two fifty five? Mea,
- 36:19Speaker 4: I need fifteen This is the crazy thing, is what
- 36:21Speaker 4: are you willing to do that?
- 36:22Speaker 3: Wait?
- 36:22Speaker 4: Let me say yeah, and you say, okay, listen, let's
- 36:24Speaker 4: see the lawyer down, draw the contract up, and I'm
- 36:27Speaker 4: this one off finish. I can guarantee this one I'm
- 36:29Speaker 4: finna do and now it's in contract.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Wait.
- 36:31Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
- 36:32Speaker 1: This is my only argument to that.
- 36:35Speaker 2: I can I can name maybe one hundred other things
- 36:39Speaker 2: that I tried to do the same way right where
- 36:42Speaker 2: we try to break records and shit and the record
- 36:43Speaker 2: don't take off. It's really like a play in the lottery, bro.
- 36:47Speaker 2: But so guess sometimes I don't know what's gonna go.
- 36:49Speaker 2: I'm just gonna treat it exactly the same and do
- 36:51Speaker 2: my best to break it. But this or add my
- 36:53Speaker 2: part to it. But that's a lot of conversations to have, though,
- 36:56Speaker 2: what I'm saying when we in the moment, Because I mean,
- 36:59Speaker 2: if you have a record, you a record both on
- 37:00Speaker 2: five g's what hey, bro, Thursday, I got you, Friday,
- 37:03Speaker 2: I got you Saturday, I may have another one.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Sunday may have another one. That's what I'm saying. Like
- 37:08Speaker 1: it's a lot, I'm just in the feeling.
- 37:10Speaker 2: I'm in the moment. I'm in the moment, and like
- 37:15Speaker 2: I'm in the moment, I'm feeling it. It's a feeling.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Breaking the record to me is a feeling. I have
- 37:22Speaker 2: to really say, I don't what none of y'all talking
- 37:24Speaker 2: about or saying I like this song and I want
- 37:27Speaker 2: you to like it too eventually, but we don't know
- 37:30Speaker 2: if it's gonna.
- 37:31Speaker 6: I was just gonna say, you to learn how to
- 37:33Speaker 6: work it into what you don't You don't even know
- 37:35Speaker 6: breaking the record.
- 37:36Speaker 1: We don't know you're breaking the record.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Don't even know you're breaking the record.
- 37:38Speaker 6: About time you break the record, already got the deal,
- 37:42Speaker 6: everything everybody else has changed already.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Let me running over time get it. Let me also
- 37:48Speaker 1: say this, one person can't break the record. It takes
- 37:52Speaker 1: a village.
- 37:53Speaker 2: One person can start it, and other people start coming
- 37:56Speaker 2: on and then we can do.
- 37:57Speaker 1: It's a it's a collective thing.
- 37:58Speaker 5: But but but it go like this BT broke it.
- 38:03Speaker 4: That Libra for sure, how they broke it at the
- 38:05Speaker 4: pool passage? Uh uh Rory broke it that city, like
- 38:09Speaker 4: at the core, he broke it here these all the
- 38:12Speaker 4: these days, the respond.
- 38:13Speaker 2: And you respect the ones that are like the top
- 38:15Speaker 2: tier because they have that ear to want to play
- 38:18Speaker 2: it first.
- 38:18Speaker 3: But the problem is who's gonna get the credit?
- 38:21Speaker 2: Everybody gets, everybody get the credit. I've been a part
- 38:24Speaker 2: of some ship. So because you have to do it
- 38:26Speaker 2: like that, you have to get big back. Then you
- 38:29Speaker 2: take it the t rock.
- 38:30Speaker 4: It plays on the pool palast right, but you have
- 38:33Speaker 4: to take it to Libra. You have to have to
- 38:35Speaker 4: take it to have to take it the swamp and
- 38:37Speaker 4: you have to take it that you have to take
- 38:38Speaker 4: to the club.
- 38:39Speaker 5: Still, you gotta take them to the one.
- 38:40Speaker 6: I know, I know, I know records that are being
- 38:43Speaker 6: broken right now, and that's R and B Records. R
