• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It was charted number one independent,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: number four for just hip hop overall. I didn't drop
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: White Christmas this year, but I'm actually gonna I turn
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: whenever I would do White Christmas year. Yeah crazy remember
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the first one? You feel me? Yeah, So like we
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: on now now. But it just always felt like it
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: felt old to me when I would do promoting a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: project in January, that's Christmas February, you feel me. So
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: what I did now was I turned White Christmas into
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be called like the twenty twenty two season,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of like I went close. When you now,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: when you're in the NBA or whatever and you start
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: talking about your new season, things you about to do,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: new Year's resolutions, just getting to it, like you know
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, new plans, different shit like that. But
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that's all my people. That's that's go getters and hustlers
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: like me, and they just gonna get to it. Yo,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: this is our new season. This is what we're doing
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: right now, and that'll take over as White Christmas. It'll
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: come out in December. This one is gonna come out
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in January, but it'd come out every December and just
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll say a prayer blessed people, and we
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: just go from there. So the twenty twenty two season
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is a new project that's coming down. I feel like you, like,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: still been putting out music, still been active, but I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: feel like music hasn't really been like your focal point
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in life. For a while, as far as like it's
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: there because you're putting it out, but as far as
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: like I feel like you're not really interested in being
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a part of the rap game anymore, if that makes sense.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I got a big single called The weather Man out
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that's been getting good traction, you know what I'm saying.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: They playing it old on it on the East Coast
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a lot. On I noticed like recently, you're like starting
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to dip your toe back into like you know, doing shit,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: doing shit that. Like you know, I've been rapper shit
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: kel I really ain't. I really like music. Wasn't never
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: like my only focal point, you know what I'm saying,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Because like I was always been independent, so I never
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: really liked I never really liked trusting in it one
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: hundred percent, you feel me. So I always was doing
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: other businesses, Like anytime I got first rap money, I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: started like buying real real estate and shit like that. Yeah,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just in case, because life is full of disappointments, you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But if you're prepare it for it,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: then it's just a disappointment could turn into a lesson.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So I always never liked being on it on it
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like that, but like, you know, it's just happened to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: be something I'm good at, and it was in It's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: another hustle way to get money. If I could, If
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I could sell bottles of water and make as much
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: money and get up whenever I went, I wouldn't do music.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I sell bottles of water. So, like, I definitely got
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different other business interests or whatever. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: by the grace of God, this ship been working out. Man.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So what is like your biggest piece of the pie
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: as far as like your income, is it the real estate?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: May I broke? Baby? Don't do me like that. No. Oh,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as far as like I don't tell how much? You
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: tell me where you're getting the most money in twenty
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I give money from different different things. I got. I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: got cargo Van's, I got old, I got merchandise. The
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: merchandise is crazy, got his great taper shape. The merch
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: game is nuts. Like you say a lot of merch man, Yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I say a lot of merch make a lot. You've
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: always been been pretty big on the merch Yeah. Before
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it was like a thing, right, But now I got
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the hang of the hang of it. Before it was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: like freestyling, just figuring it out a little bit. But
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: now it's like you gotta think, if say is like
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a couple of people in his room, if everybody bothers
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: my album for ten dollars, that'll only be sixty bucks
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: or whatever you said for sixty dollars. Oh, I sell
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: hats for two fifty, you know what I'm saying. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: people go people, I just I just feel a one
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars order. People get fifteen worth shit. They just
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: buy mad shit, you know what I'm saying. That's even
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: better than sometimes somebody come to see you and pay
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars at the show, and then that shit lasts
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: with them, you know what I mean. So like the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: music is a gateway to connect with your people, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: then it's like they want to get more and more.
• 8:00

  Speaker 1: I got ship to do, you know what I mean,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: And it was just a lot, but I'm definitely gonna
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: start jump starting it again because I've been in talks

  Speaker 1: with a company to have my ship like aired on
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a on a on a on a platform, you know
• 10:25

• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Like you see, you got a production team. I got
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that ship, like I got that broad caster, I got
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the it's me, it's me recording it, it's me editing it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Like that ship is a lot, you feel me? So
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: like now like you got the two cameras, I had
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a fun you got three cameras. I had two cameras,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, it switch it back and forths
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: too much. I made it one camera, so like when
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you gotta do a lot of that ship is just
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: like you, I could be doing other ship with my
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: time to like because with me, tom is really money,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you feel me, So we spend I spent my time
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: doing this, I could be taking it and doing other shit,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: getting to a different bag. So that's why I was
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: at That's why I'm at with it right now. Talk
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to me about like you know, there was like a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: point in time where twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, you're the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: hottest shit moving in New York, like, uh, everyone and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: their moms offering you record deals. Was I know that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of money on the table. They
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: wasn't good. I'm gonna let you. I just mean, like
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I remember, like you know, talking to whole Vane back
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: then and be like, man, everyone's trying to sign us
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: right now, but we need this to even like think
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: about doing it. They were. They were trying to sign
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: us on some some homeboys shit, like trying to sign
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: us for free like grand So I thought that might
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: have happened, Like how you know it didn't? That didn't.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It was like I told tivy'all want two million dollars.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He said, what you want
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: someone too millny dollars And he was trying to give
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: me like less and then saying, you know, let's go
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to the label and get I'm like, and you you
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: got it, just give it to me. So I would
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: do if I want a artist, I'm just give them
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the bread. So like I always believe in myself and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I never want to be tied down and restraints saying,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you know, like the worst fear or like just growing
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: up seeing people on music getting signed and getting shelfed,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and he just boxed in. So I would never, like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I always a bet on myself, Like man, unless it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: something crazy like that, I don't million dollars. It feel
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: me like I didn't have two million dollars at the time.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I had hundreds of thousands of dollars. So you can't
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: offer me hundreds of thousands because I already got it,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So unless somebody make you
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: like the Mob, I'm gonna make you a deal. You
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: can't refuse that. I was like, yo, two million dollars
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: because I know I never go broke again if you
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: give me that. If you're turned two to ten, you
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: felt exactly. That's why I knew, Yo, if I got
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that Freshman cover, I was gonna make a million dollars
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and I'll take it to the top. But I know
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: if you get two million dollars in life and you're hustler,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you'll never go broke again. But you know he didn't,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: uh whatever reason that that didn't happen, And like I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: was just I wasn't never signed off for no shit
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that I didn't that I had already. It made no
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: sense because I knew I would work. I knew I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: would make myself get get my own opportunities. And you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: like even like all I wanted out of rap was
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I wanted a building, I wanted a Ferrari, and I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: wanted a goal a gold record, and I fucking got
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: all three of those. Yeah, that's crazy. That's all I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: ever wanted out of out of music. The gold record
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: came like like I wanted to after but I got.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: She belonged to the game, right, she belongs to the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Games on his way to platinum. That's crazy, straight up,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: like really independent, you know what I'm saying? What was
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: like the situation that you were closest to like signing
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: with and that during that time everyone was everyone was
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: trying to sign you, bro, like everybody they would if
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you I feel like, if you're trying to sound somebody,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you capture, if you really chunk
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: as well, if you really trying to sound somebody, just
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: give them what they want. Man, you feel me so
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: like I want to say, it wasn't no situation. I
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: like to if, like with all artists, just know who
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you getting in bed with. You know what I'm saying,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Like I'm saying with anybody, just don't be so quick
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to be like, yo, yeah, I hold lot, I want
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to sign. I want to just now, just make sure
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that you know you're gonna get everything that you want
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: or it's not worth it if you're a real hustler,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and like if you this is what I don't understand.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I understand when people talk a bunch of goot money
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: ship and they music, you know what I'm saying, and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: then they turn around and they signed to somebody and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: then they rely on that person to give them everything
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to come up or you know what I'm saying, That
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: happens a lot because then it's like you're not really
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a hustler or everything you talking about was cap or
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: if you sign to somebody and then you don't and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: then in turn you sound for like you sound for peanuts.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: But if you're gonna sound for peanuts, make sure you're
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: getting a bunch of shit on the back end. Yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you gotta have actually like good structure dealer, because you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: know you're gonna have to whatever you get signed for,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you're gonna pay it. You're gonna have to pay that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: money back. I knew I was gonna make whatever money
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: back because all my projects is always in the black,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: no matter what I got my in house production, I
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: produce a right, I record do all my shit. So
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: while there's not a lot of feeling overhead, it cost
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: somebody else fucking two hundred and fifty thousand to make
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: an album and it cost me ten thousand, and it's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: just gonna be just as fire. The only thing that's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: gonna suffer is the marketing dollars, and not for the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: lack of money, just the lack of resources, not having
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the right people, you know, because motherfuckers come here to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: promote their projects and ship they albums. You know what
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm on here because you know you my man,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and you know I got a little little bit of clout.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: But just imagine all the other people who don't have that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: They got just as good music, right, but they don't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: have the access they get to a bootleg keV or
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to go wherever they want to go to. So you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I just thank god I got good relationships and I'm
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: not scared of hard work. You just put a sign
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: out a soldier boy. Oh yeah, Draco's and glocks. That's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: fucking extremely random. I'm not a million years I never
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: thought I would be like, Yo, yeah, Troy having soldier boy,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I would love Jacob say that man ain't right Big Jago,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: he's the homie, come on the show a lot, like
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I fun with him. His management Like yeah that h
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: my god, No, it's cool, it's cool, but like, what
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: how did that happen? That's super Always I always fuck
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: with Sojia, always been loved, like in passing or whatever whatever.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Like I fuck with I fuck with a lot of people.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Let me not say a lot of people. I'll fuck
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with people that a genuinely fuck with, you know what
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like not all for so like if I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: fuck with an artist, I'm not like I fuck with Gates,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. We don't got a song,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: but if we pop up with a song, I probably
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: get Gates on some this year. But yo, that was random.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But I've been fucking with Gates for years. That would
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: make more sense to me, though, See what this this?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: How I do? I don't like, I'm not a dick rider,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: So I don't just do records with somebody because they
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: got a buzz here, or I want to get their
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: fans here. No, I want that ship to feel good sonically.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Like even when I dropped my project Made You without
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: a deal, I had great project you feel thank you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I had all the people on it that I grew
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: up listen to the eye in my ear, and I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: put them perfectly where they needed to sound in pocket.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I had Fat Joke perfectly in pocket. I had rayconon
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Prodigy and know perfectly in pocket. I didn't say well
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: at that time. Of course, there's other rappers that's hotter
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: than them that I could do collapse and get their fans,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: but they never been about that. I've never been in
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: cloud chacks and never been a dick rider. I want
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to make the best music possible and I know how
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to put motherfuckers on beats that they gonna sound in
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the pocket. So this beat right here, this ship had
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: that feeling you know, sold you to I say, yo,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I need you to talk that go crazy on that ship.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I don't need you make it clap. I need you
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to go crazy, do that yelling in the fucking camera. Shit,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's a fact. And yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the big Draco I need you to do the big Draco,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and he did the big Draco in his fire. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: got another joint coming out with trat boy Freddie and
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. People will say that's random,
• 17:57

  Speaker 1: businesses and coming. You know what I'm saying, BSB bullies
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: on the way. So you're breeding dogs, Yeah that's a fact.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: So who's okay this might be a random super pause question.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: But when you have a dog that I'm gonna start breeding,
• 18:11

  Speaker 1: a no, that's snow with nothing with him. That's a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: little riff for a while now Junkie Joe like it's whatever.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I don't get Joe, but you know I don't got
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: no beef for nobody in the New Year twenty two
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: is good. Yeah, that's good, especially like in the podcast
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: space because I like, I don't want to say I
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: don't use the term respect loosely, but like if every
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: like people that are doing ship like how you're doing
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: this podcast academics like junkie Joe, like a bunch of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: people doing the ship. I say it in differently, like
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: fuck it was a junkie, but it's okay, a lot
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of junkies. It's all right. When was you get better?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: But anyway, you know, like motherfuckers is doing some ship
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that I so this is dope. Let me child, let
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: me aspire to do this, so I give credit what
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: credit is due all and fucking this man, other people
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: doing ship. Yeah, there's a lot of dope podcasts. I
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm forget in somebody. Man, there's no podcasts
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: drink champs, yeah ship. Yeah. So like I feel like
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you can't really when I when if I say something,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be based on facts. I'm not just gonna
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: go and be like trying to dis because I feel
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: like you can't. But that again, that's a handicap because
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: people don't do that. People people look people look up
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and talk them. You can't fucking do that, right, you
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? That's coney, you feel me, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: that that means that if somebody's doing something that you
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: if like me, I got mad buildings in real estate, man,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: multi family homes and if somebody talking ship about me
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and they don't they live in an apartment, like oh yeah,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: he ain't real estate or whatever. Like you can't do
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that though, because you're trying to get into what I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: get into. Now, if you say something factual about me,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: they got nothing to do with that, then cool. But
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you still got to have a certain level of I
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: don't want to say respect, but like certain level because
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you're trying to get into that space as them or whatever.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I give a fuck about podcast. I'm
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: just saying it's just another it's just another move, another
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: outlet for me to talk to my people, and of course,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: spread your own news because if somebody else is telling exactly,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: have your own narratives, you know what I'm saying, Help me, man,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: what you know? I felt like you were in a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: position where everyone was embracing you. Hmm. Everyone was kind
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of fucking with Troy av I feel like then there
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: was like a switch that happened and it felt like
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it just kind of felt like a lot of people
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: kind of deserted you, or at least You're like, like
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: did you feel that way, like like where you weren't
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: getting embraced as much after something happened. I ain't never.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't ever sty I felt deserted because
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I always been on my own. I always been like independent.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I just mean in terms of like on some industry
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: shit man I used. I ain't never. I don't want
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to say deserted or anything. I just want to say, like,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: it's like when it's like everybody petting the lion until
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the lion shows teeths shows real teeth. Then it's like,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: fuck this motherfuckers on some other ship and they could
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: get on some other ship at any time, and you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: know how this ship goes and his and his music
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: shit is like it's entertainment, it's w w F. Everybody's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a fucking wrestler. But when the guy really slims you
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: on your neck and you get injured, and it's like,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: oh ship, whoa, whoa, we were wrestling for fake, we're
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: not wrestling for. So that happens a lot where it's
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: just like it just if if you do some extremely
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: ship that's so cold gangstill real and or they'll turn
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that into saying it's idiotic, and it's it's uh, it's
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: fucking what you call what's what's the word. It's it's
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a hazardous and ship like that, and then people want
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: to get away from that. You feel me because it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: like you don't know what. But in certain instances, if
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you're leveled up and clouded up more like signed to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a major label and ship like that, they gotta deal
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: with you. Like people didn't fuck with fifty Cent for
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: you because he was with Dre and m and that
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: it was too late. It's the hottestrapper in the world.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: It was too late. It was like, damn, we can't
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: feel me. He could, he could have fucking shootouts of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: getting ship and then, but we can't not fuck with
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: him because it's to hes gonna be at all Lottle
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: war shows. He's with Jimmy Ive and it's too late.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I was just with me. I felt like you also,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: like you were doing some small things that made people
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: root against you. They would be like, you know, like
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: maybe it'd be like the Kendrick Lamar is a weirdo
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: rapper line when like can everyone's fucking with Kendrick all
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: of them just addressed. That's adds to Mad one by
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: One that was on New York City, the album that
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: was in New York City the album. Now, that's what
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. You do when you do some
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: real ship, It's like, what, well, that's too real. I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: didn't know. I came in the game like thinking, like
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I put it to w W E Rustling. I always
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: seen the wrestles going up. I thought they was real ship.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: They doing this. Okay, when somebody says something about you,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: When Snoop say he crushed the buildings, Nory and CNN
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: came at them, a couple other people whatever, came like,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that's how you supposed you supposed to react and defend.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought it was, you know what I'm saying.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: So when when fucking Kendrick Lamar said the ship about
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: New York and everybody had their pennies and a bunch
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of ship, I'm like, all right, oh, you motherfucker's making
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: whole songs. It's that's why is it that my one,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: my fucking one bar stuck moding the whole song? You
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: said was that before the control freestyle? No, it was
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: after after? Why would I say that? Yeah? That made
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: no sense. So like I'm only everything Like people would
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: throw stones and the hot they ends. They only see
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the reaction because my reaction is so aggressive and savage.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But there's no rules to a reaction, Like I say,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: if somebody slap you and you minding your business slap
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: and you get up and you fucking bludging them or
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: beat them with a bat, they should have never slapped you.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: So everybody making whole disc records about Kendrick Lamar because
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: he said to New York's right. I think jay Z
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: even did a verse and and just never put it
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: out like man, people had records and there was just nothing.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: But there's one line by little old Independent. I just think,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I just think it's so hard. And I didn't say
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: nothing crazy, You didn't say anything super disrespectfully. I just
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: which which was like, But now motherfuckers want to use
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: widow rapers as a term that like that what it
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: was a widow rapper compared to the ship you were doing,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: not me doing. Just see, this is why I don't like.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I don't like when media people everybody try to act like,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: try to just have alternative facts. If from the look,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you got a bunch of fucking plaques on here from
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: these people, we grew up looking at the clips these
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: same fucking people packing big if they wore, like because
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you got me talking about to say, how when Kendrick
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Lamar came out on stage and he had the white
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: ship on. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, that was
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: recently right, like I means, and on the wall, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that Kanye up there, Kanye, you know, Kanye is fire
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: the roots, state the roots, you know what they all like,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with having There's nothing wrong with people
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: having titles. I mean. Also that was that was like
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a retort for the control freestyle. It makes sense that's on.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: It was as it was. It was like the city, Yeah,

  Speaker 1: See you getting most is out of me. I'm just
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: asking about that at that time. I mean, I mean,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I know you were on your troy A ship like
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in retrospect. Do you regret that at all? Oh? I'm
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: just me, man. I mean, like, listen, man, this is
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: how I feel. What can can you bring the people
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: up to speed with what I said? And while I
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: said it, because I want to make sure because it's like, well,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you didn't know that that was in response to the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: control freestyle. I want to make sure that so the
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: joey thing, I felt like, like what the fact that
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: we listen. I don't know why you said it. I
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: know that at the time, you don't know why. I
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: know that you guys are going back and forth to
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: who was selling more records independently? Right, that was kind
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of the wasn't back and forth. I wasn't concerned with
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: who was selling more records of New York. That wasn't me.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I wasn't backing forth. You had brought up the fact
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that his one of one of the guys in pro
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: era Capital Stees had killed himself and said some probably
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: some not nice things about about that situation. This isn't Look,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: you got the clips on your wall, you got fifty
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: cent on your wall. You don't have the locks head
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and they talk about fifties mother they died? What was what?
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Didn't push it because crazy like five or six years
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: don't do that. Look, from what I'm trying to do
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: is know what I'm trying to do is ask you
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: like what like like for people who don't know and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: even refresh my memory. What was the origin of the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: issue with Joey? Where that that statement before before, before
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I forget, I want to set the premise on because
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: it's very important and the environment. The rap Day that
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I grew up listening to as a kid is clips.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Just push your t He's one of the greatest. Then
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: he go crazy on drap Man who got having cereble
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: posy or something, okay, fifty. He was going nuts on everybody,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and they went nuts on him. It is, it is
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: what it is, and this is Tupac hit him up
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: and got these people on your wall, right, No, I do.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And it's that they said was this ship? They said was?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: But I think that their issues with the with the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: other side of the exchange were probably at least a
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: lot more stronger than what your at least what your
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: issues might have been with Joey. No. Well, the issue
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: started with Joey was I was minding my business, just
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: doing my thing independent. I was only just independent. And
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I always said BSB Records is number one independent label
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: at New York, you know what I'm saying. And then
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I think he might have said something
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: about it, or maybe not. I don't remember, but I
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: know something like his A friend of his came on
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a record and he was like, yeah and such and such,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: So more records in joy aff now again. I dropped
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: my I dropped my project major without a deal, and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: you know, they try to like it seemed like people
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: always coming for me, you know what I mean, because
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: it's like a bunch of fake people. And when they
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: see the rail, they don't want the real Leshan because
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: then you make them look funny. If you real diamonds
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: around motherfuckers with fake shit, then they start looking funny.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: So well, let's get them out of here. So they
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: said old choy Av took an l I only sold
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: a couple thousand records or whatever. That wasn't really true.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I dropped my I dropped my album on a Friday,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: when everybody else drop me on a Tuesday. Were talking
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: about pure records solds for that week. I actually sold
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: fourteen thousand recund For people who don't know, this was
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: before it got switched to Fridays. This before Yeah, people
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: are going to be in the comments like, man, shit
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: comes out right. So back back then it was Tuesday's
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: music to drop. So when you drop on a Friday
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: getting it full You're not getting a full week. And
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: then I didn't care about that. I'm independent. I'm like, man,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop my people many music exactly. So I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: drop it and then I sell a couple thousand records,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: but mind you, it's a short week. And then, remember
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I'm independent. I sold a couple of thousand. That's all
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: free money to me. I'm making more off my couple
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: thousand records. So we ended up selling fourteen thousand. Like
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: later on with the week, I made one hundred and
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: forty thousand. That whole album only cost me probably ten
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: thousand to make. And this is pretty pre before streaming. Yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: this is none of this straight. It's straight buying, straight problems.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's a fact. And now I'm getting ninety percent
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: of that ninety five percent, Like it's a difference. Was
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: it still was this the Empire shout the guys and
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: oh yeah yeah yeah fuck Empire. So this this early
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: like Empire days, you know what I'm saying. For sure,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: after my lawyer, Vinnie Kumar, he put that play together
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and it may and it made sense. He's that man
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: here to go. So so now when I'm doing that,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: like you can't ever tell me. You can't ever tell me.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I look at it like, you got people that's playing
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: on ring your teams, and if your team is fully
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: loaded and you got everybody on the team, and fucking
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: you got Lebron and you got d Wade and ship
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: like that, and then you come on and you score
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: twenty points, that's not that. Twenty points ain't more than
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the guy who has who's carried that's twenty points ain't
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: more than AI taking the Philadelphia to the championship with
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: the Lakers. It's not more it's not more than you
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: feel me. It's not more than. But they'll try to
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: make it. And when I say load of teams marking
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: in big money behind the shit, promotions, everything just you know,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: real publiciers like everything. So if they spending two hundred
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and fifty thousand to push your shit, and then you
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: maybe sell a little bit more than me. If I'm
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: only spending ten thousand dollars, this is a bigger win
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: because then you can only do that one time. Yeah,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I could do this shit three four times a year.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: But they'll try to act like what I did was
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: an L when it's not an L. So I ain't
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: never gonna be quiet out Like where I'm from, you
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: don't just let somebody say something about you and then
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: you you not say nothing, and you just fall back
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: and like that sucking shit, you know what I'm saying.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: So uh, somebody that would never that would never. I
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: never said nothing about nobody on a record or anything
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: that I would not definitely say in their face when
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: I see them. And that's what I didn't like about
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the music and internet. Shit, people will say things about
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you just randomly they got access to say some shit
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: that they wouldn't say. And growing up growing up in
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: my in my hood, like you got to see about
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: that person right there and have the energy when you
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: say that. That's called hating or you just a sucker.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: And so somebody, an artist just came and took a
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: shot and said and such and such, so more records
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: than joy Ad. Oh I think he said it. Joey
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: said it such and such, so more records than joy Ad.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: When his artists, I'm like, why the fuck would you
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: say that? Like that didn't make you Why you said
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: that to me? Now? Mind you it wasn't, No, it
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: wasn't that big of a deal because like it wasn't
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Like a bunch of people was like, oh whatever whatever,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: But I just caught window of it, and I'm like,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: why the fuck would you say that to me? Knowing that,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: like like if I if I saw you, it would
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: it would be a problem. Why are you starting with me?
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Why are you playing with me like that? Like I
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: don't it make It makes you more upset when somebody
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: play with you. That would never if you're not there, Like,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: that's not real ship, A real a real person would
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: never go to somebody and then know when they when
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: they see them, they wouldn't say that it wouldn't. I don't,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in that pop shit and apologize that
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: sucking ship. You don't pop shit. And then when you
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: see you playing the yola sit and talk it out.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Yoa's so good that ship? Should it never happened? Why
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: did it happen? And then you tell me why it happened?
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Why would somebody I never took a shot at nobody
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere on no records for what? For cloud,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: just for what? Because when you disrespect, then you open
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the door to be down with all the disrespect that
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: comes with it. So do you feel like they was
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: down for all the disrespect that comes with it, or
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: was it just I mean how you feel. I mean
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I think that being honest, listen, let me tell you something.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: This is what happened. So that happened. I remember that
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: line you're saying now now, I remember the Joey line
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, which happened first. Also not not even
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: in the same ballpark in disrespect as what you came
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and retorted with. I didn't know we played bullparks. But
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: but but but what what I want to get to
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: is like, because for a long time, so like I'll
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: give you an example. Once that happened, you had a
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: record at that time that was getting pushed to radio.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I don't remember which song it was. I don't remember either,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: but I don't remember it was one of your record
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: It wasn't I don't know what it was, but you
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: had a record that was getting a soda in when
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the play, Yeah, it was a findy I think. I
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: was like, but I might have my boy in Minneapolis
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: who's playing your record on the radio, like the station
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: called GO ninety five ninety sixty three, and he calls
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: me and he's like, yo, we're like supporting Troy and like, yo,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: he's like disrespecting people who like have families that have
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: gone through suicide. Ship, Like what how? How how are
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: they taking it that personal? And the crazy shit is
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I really fucked with him. Whenever I would go out there,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: we would tap in, like I really fucked with him.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: So this is that's the promise me. And I'm like, yo, man,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I could just talk to Hovane, you know how? But Yo,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: they got to talk to you, right? How from a
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: record of somebody starting something with me and then I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: respond I spoke to you too, But how does that
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: affect other people in positions of doing their job? Like,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: it's not a personal thing. If you got a good record,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you got a good record, throw it on the fuck
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: with it this record that I disagree with you specific instance.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: It's not even like I'm saying play this record. This
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: record is just a disrecord in response to what they
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: said to me and it went crazy. But how how
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: in the fucking world is that okay for somebody's personal
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: feelings about what two other men have a problem with
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: to affect you put pushing a ship or you playing
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: just don't even push you just play it regularly. It's
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: a good record. Everybody. Everybody loved the record. I don't
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: remember which. I forget which record it was you had
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: during that era, you had a few. So maybe maybe
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: she belongs to the game. Maybe due to what she
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: belongs to the game, I feel like, I don't know whatever.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: But no, but so let me ask you this. Do
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: you feel like did you do you feel like that
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: that specific line like I went too far? No? No, no,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you obviously don't feel like you went too far. But
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: do you feel like it kept out? I didn't say that.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like it affected you and your career
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: at all? Negatively? Because because that one anecdotal situation where
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: you talked about about a single radio station Minnesota, that's
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: but no, these other people, that's what I like that
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: because I feel like a lot of people were like, oh,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Traft were all that motherfucker, like he took it too far,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: like because they just they just wait, they they was
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: never really fucking with me. Because I I stand for
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: everything that they don't. I'll stand for independence, I stand
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: for being confident, and they'll call my confidence cocky, they'll
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: call my independent cells and mediocre, when in reality, my
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: independence cells are superior to yours. Because I need more
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: money dollars for a dollar, and like, I feel like
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: that was just a way for people to come out
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: and have something to say, like how any problem with
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: between two men. It's more just look at Chicago they
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: talk about smoking dead ops, it's a listen who I
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: do not disagree right now, especially like in Jacksonville, shit
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: is you feel me to who I smoked it? But
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: it been music been disrespectful. I think people just looked
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: at it as like Joey's like this kid who's just
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: making dope, young rap music. You're from New York and
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: maybe as opposed to like you guys having an issue
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: and like it being like a thing like you know,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: And at the time, you guys were definitely you know,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: your your guys' rises were parallel to each other, not
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: not related to each other. It wasn't really parallel. He
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: was the way he was way ahead of me already.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: And I just mean in terms of like you guys
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: are both up and coming in New York City. Your
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: energy was a lot different, obviously, but Joffer Joey still
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: was making like joe Like Joey Badass could have been
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: on New York City the album, and that would have
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: made sense and it would have sounded good. Right. Nah,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: he could have been on New York City album. Not
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: that album, I'm not. I'm just meaning in terms of like, no,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not ta beats. You know what I'm saying, like
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: fucking no hell no, absolutely not? How hell? Where you know?
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: It was on New York City album? So tell me
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: if you you can't tell me one person that let
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: alone put on, You can't tell me one person that
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I could take off to play in morning. I'm I'm
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: not saying that he could fit. He cannot. You could
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: pull all the songs up. There's no way that music
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: is different. They was making backpack rap music. I think
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: he was making traditional New York nineties boom bab ship,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: traditional New York nineties. I don't make I don't make nineties.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: But I'm not saying you but I'm making fucking incarcerated
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: skull faces. I'm making capital punishment I'm making. I'm making that.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think Joey's ship was far
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: from that wheelhouse. How those are two different types of
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: hip hop. I'm telling them I grew up in that space.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Those are two is listen, it's most has most Death
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: in jay Z jay Z album, but he done ship.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Uh well, I never heard tal on a jay Z album,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: not on a jay Z album, but they've they've been
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: on a record together to get my remix. Come on,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: you know hip hop don't do that. Come on, So
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: most Death make dope ass music, right and jay Z
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: so even Tyler quality be flowing. But the two type
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: of albums are different. They they it doesn't go. So
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: you can't say he could have been on New York
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: City the album, No or major with idea, No fucking way.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: It's not that it's Joey has records with all the
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: guys that are on New York City the album. I'm
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: pretty sure when no, I'll call Cap over one hundred
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: some thousandth jings on me. Ill bet right now? Who
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: is who is on the album? Who's on Pottigy Cameron, Fat, Joe,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Ray Kwan, push your T No not push t J
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: D kiss fabulous mad people. I bet you anything. It's no.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: It's never no CAP with you have I don't. I
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: don't just do the assume, you know how people just
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: throw out the fact that I guess. The point I'm
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: trying to say is I feel like you like divided
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: y'all so much like and I think some people made
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: it had maybe thought it was unnecessary. What was There's
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: no rules to a reaction that's fair. If somebody comes
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: and slaps you right now in your face, what would
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: you do, caes somebody just randomly walks inside react like,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: what would your reaction be just randomly violence? Like? Like
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: what kind of violence? I don't know A punch. A
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: punch is most severed in a slap, right, This is true?
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: But do you not think that some of the things
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: you were saying in the interviews were kind of like
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: like he could have loosely taken them as like, yo,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: was he talking about us? I was never. There wasn't
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: never when we were talking about like like being the
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: biggest like like rapper at it out of New York. No,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm the number one independent rapper out of
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: New York. I still am to this day. But how
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I'm only speaking facts. There's nothing wrong with speaking your facts.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I don't listen. I'm just trying to independent. When you
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: see my ship and say BSB Records, what you did?
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: What you did feel? Did you did you feel like
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: some of the industry turned their back on you. When
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: that happened. I feel like different things like that happen,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Like you said the guy in Minneapolis ship like that
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: started happening, and even people that were like, we call
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: me and they be like, now, what you're saying is right,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: but you know you can't say that like that in public?
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Why the fuck can I This is rap. Y'all didn't
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: tell me the rules before I got into this shit.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I'm watching, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, these people really fucking
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: doing power drives and really doing clothes lines. I'm thinking,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: this is what really happens. Oh, it's fake, it's not real.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: But I didn't know that. I didn't find it out
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: until I do some real shit. Then it's like, WHOA,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: what's going on? And then like you gotta think at
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, anybody that got a problem
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: with what I said to my suicide, if you go
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: against me, you got somewhere wrong what I gotta say
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: and take it up with God. You got something to
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: say with the whole Bible. That's my only back and
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm standing on. I'm standing on that. So
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I want the same people that got some against what
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I got to say make sure you say I don't
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: fuck with God. I don't fuck with no religion that
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: speaks against that anything that you can't be a fucking hypocrite.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I don't deal with the hypocrisy. It's coney. That's a fact.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: So what you what you did was a Christian move. No,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not. I'm not. I'm not gonna say.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I'm a Christian. I practice realism
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: because I don't believe in dividing. I don't believe in
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: dividing like they try to divide and concu us. People say,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: that's a fact everything. I don't believe you never. I
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: don't have no hate in me at all. I don't
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: have no fucking racism. I don't hate on somebody for
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: being fucking gay. I don't hate on somebody forgetting money.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I don't hate on somebody because they gender. None of
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: that ship. So if you if what they try to
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: do is is like separate us in different little bullshit
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: where if this person is saying a lie, this person
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: is saying a Messiah, and I'm saying God, it's a
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Jewish a Muslim, and you all saying the same thing,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: you all believe in God. That's the common denominator. Fuck
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: everything else that has to go below. So I practice realism.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: You know, there's semantics of religion has been pretty much
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the cause of most wars, and it's just man sis.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: It's the same thing and divide and congo. Like, there's
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong with being put in groups. But at the
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: end of the day, if you all believe in one thing,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: then let's focus on that. So like like, focus on
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: what we all have in common, exactly, exactly, and that's all.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: That's all I push. I never, you know, any time
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I ever said anything, I'm not thinking about nobody else.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: When I see I'm the number one independent labeling uh
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: in New York. I am. I started this from the
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: ground up. I really sold fifty five thousand records out
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: of my trunk for sure, So I'm the number one independent.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: I'm really doing doing the most repping for the city.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: These other people, Joey whoever, they had head starts with me.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: They wasn't like motherfucker. First time I met yg he said,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: this is a motherfucker from New York. This is what
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about right there. Because I look and I
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: sound like it, I'm not you're not gonna meet I
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: fuck with Tyler Qualley, but you're never gonna meet most
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: step back in the day, like, yeah, this is what
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: New York is like in most depth is dope as fuck. Right,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna say that. You're gonna say that about Biggie,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: You're gonna say that about jay Z. I think I
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: think on a commercial level, you're right, Yes, on a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: commercial just period, we have commercial just period in general,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: that's the energy, that's what that's what it's about. My
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: my my energy wasn't a Red Show energy, finger snap
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: and ship. Like I said, I definitely think you had
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: the like the closest you know, because I think after
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: fifty there was a lot of people who try to
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: be the new the new fifty or the new that
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: that kind of like that feel that position, I guess
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: I would say, And I feel like at that time,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: you're the closest person that got to that. And I
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: think that's why at that time and fifty, you know,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: got behind, like fifty, you know, put his arm around
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: you for a second, Like first fifty was hating and
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: then he came he came around. At today, what's your
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: relationship with fifty now? Good. I mean if I seen him,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: I seen him, it's so good, like that's that's me.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I will never like fifty inspire me like I was
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: saying about the junkie Joe shit, you know what I'm
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: saying so of it. Have nothing bad to say about him,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: because if it wasn't No fifty, it wouldn't be me.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm not trying to sound like him. And I'm
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: doing my own thing. You feel me, and and so
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: like back to I want to stay on this because
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: we got to get rid of some of these alternative facts,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: just like we did with the Kendrick ship. Nobody knew
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: that I said that ship about Kendrick because he said
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: this and and it was a fact. I just pointed
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: out it was a fact. I didn't lie when I
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: said this ship. Everybody when he did this song with
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Miguel and I don't know what he was wearing or
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: brazy hat, everybody like, Yo, Troy ad was right. I
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: mean to call someone a weirdo though, was subjective a
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: weirdo to you? Yes, that's the fact. That's the fact
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: that it is not the fact that Troy have which
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: is fine. You spoke your truth. It's not would you
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: say the clips are the clips talken cocaine rap. Yeah,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: that's that's the definition of coke rap, exactly like we
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: can people. I was wearing a koofee. You might have
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: caught him a weirdo rapper at that time. Not well
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: not not because where I'm from, you see a lot
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: of brothers that are weare kofies and ship like that,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: even in jail, and they're not with those I would
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: never call I. I just know that Kendrick is a weirdo,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: but it's every we could put every artist into who
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: they are. Snoopyrec your definition of weirdo, Kendrick is a weirdo.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's a weirdo because I know Kendrick
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: and I know he's just I understand what you were saying.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know Kendrick. You replied to the style talking
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: about style, and we've established that, right, So just see
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: when you know somebody more present whatever. But back to
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the to the to the Joey bad ship. When you
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: see them, like I said what I said, I'm breaking
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: I'm lyrical with it. I'm breaking them down. And since
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: they said a partner of his he brought other people
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: into it, it wasn't just him going each other. He
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: brought up somebody from his group, so more recordsent choy. Okay,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: so now it's open season on anybody from your group
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: here or gone, you feel me, That's what happened. They
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: they opened Pandora's box and then you, I said, whoa, whoa,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: you went too far. Don't play with me. Did anyone
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: around you hear that and try to convince you to
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: take it out? They the video. They was like, yo,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: come on the videos nuts, because I did the video
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: on the roof. Yeah, but I mean, like I said,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: look all these motherfuckers you got on your wall. You
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: got them on your wall. Tupac hit them up. Come
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: on take it if you feel away about it, If
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: you're not standing on how Troy went about his business,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: then you need to take Tupac off your wall or
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: else you being in a hit. That was a more
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: serious situation. What are you talking about? Serious to? Who?
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Seriousness is objective? Serious to? If somebody slaps you in
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: your face, you don't have to respond to them with
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: a punch you. I've seen people get slapped in here.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I've seen people get slapped. Damn. This guy's crazy. Yeah.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, so everything you're saying, I'm only speaking facts. Listen,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: nobody can tell nobody can tell anyone how to react
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: to something. Right you have and that was more serious
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: than if I just I'm just telling you the perception
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: of people. I'm not telling you you like my opinions
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: because I'm on the Bootleg keV podcast. I think, I
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: think at the time. I definitely think at the time,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm here, real ship. I didn't come here run out, yo, Kevin,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I gotta go run and go get I'm really here here. No,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: I feel like at that time, to me, it felt unnecessary,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: it felt over the top for at the moment, like
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: New York. We always hear about how Atlanta moved together.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: You know, why can't New York and l A move
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: together like Atlanta does? And at that time, it felt
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: like you were you would like carved out troy Ave
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Island and you were just standing on your island in
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: New York. When I said that, you mean yeah, And
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: it's in general, I just feel like you. I feel
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: like Europe. I mean, I knew you at the you know,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: I know you so like I was very close to
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: your situation, and so I would like, you know, I'd
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: be like, yeah, well, Ship, it seems like a lot
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: of people are rooting against stew as opposed to rooting
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: for you. And I think that that was because of
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: some of the things you would say some of and
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: that's just you being you. Just it's just me being
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: a real person. I am on Joyvlan because I'm self
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: made and self paid. Nobody put me on and brought
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: me up from the ground up. Ships I meet, I
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: call it DJ like I used to call you very
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: much or whatever. But with these two situations that you
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: bringing up, who started them? They were all reactions. I
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: didn't and that's important. That's important. No one can tell
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: any individual how to react to something. But I'm asking
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: do you do you do you agree it was? I mean,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I Joey bad ship? Was it? Was it a reaction?
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Who you threw the first shot? I mean based on
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: the recollections, yea, bro, listen, it's been so long. But yeah,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: so I do remember that line that Joey dropped. So
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: that's throwing the shot at me. And so you your
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: that was your reaction to some of the threw a
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: shot at you first, because you had never thrown a
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: shot at him prior to that. Correct directly, No, I don't.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: I don't be going throwing shots. I'll be focused on me.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not worried about what another man doing. I'm focused on.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: So we've established that you reacted to Joey, and you
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: reacted to the control freestyle and the Kendrick thing. I
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: just think people were like, what the fuck? But I
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: think people it wasn't. It wasn't disrespectful. Yeah he wasn't.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: He wasn't disrespecting. But at that time, I just don't
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't a big deal. Like it was just
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: like it wasn't at all. But it was just like
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: how how this ship appeared? You know what I mean.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: That's why it wasn't a big deal. That's why I
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: just do a one line and I'm just representing. I'm
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: standing up for my city. I did for my city. No,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a big It wasn't a big There wasn't
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: personal that other ship. It was personal. I see that
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: his personally at that time, it was personally. I don't
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: really give a fun now, all right, moving forward, man,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Without getting too much into the to get to the
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: line though, because you saying I want to I want
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: you to get to that line, man, which one you
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: singing the capital Steve Ship and I want to I mean,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I have people in my life who have committed suicide.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: We all have people in all life that committed me.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: It was maybe in poor taste with that being said,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: but remove remove the personal from it. That's what people
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: can't do. Everybody wants to laugh at the ugly baby
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: until they have a baby that's ugly. What is it
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: not funny? You were just laughing at the ugly baby.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: You said that baby is fucking ugly. Now you have kids,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: you don't want to say no more. Let's remove the
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: personal shit and just dealing fact my podcast. But that's
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: why I think that's why it's hard for people to
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: remove personal feelings from something that's serious. Sh ain't hard
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: for me because I'm I'm solid. I'm one honey with
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: myself always and you react, and like you said, you
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: that's how you chose to see. You ain't gonna see
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: people more more solid than me. That's fucking rid because
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: I don't meet them. I know how to, I know
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: how to be objective and like, remove personal ship from
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: what's right and what's wrong. You feel me I know
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: how to do that, Like, it's just a fucking you
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: have to do it. You can't call yourself real. You
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: can't call yourself real if you're hating on people. You
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: can't call yourself real if you let your personal feelings
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: get in the way of what's right and what's fucking wrong, like,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: because you wouldn't be saying that if you didn't have
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: a personal experience about it. My shit, you can't say, yo,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: I believe in God and I believe in the Bible
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: and then turn around and say you're wrong for saying this, Like,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: am I wrong if I if the guy in Minneapolis
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: who I'm genuinely was fucking with right through you, if
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: he stops playing my record? Cool? Other people call me
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: even sway in the morning, was like, all right, man,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: I was, you're right, but that was fucked up whatever. Cool,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: So all these people stop supporting my shit publicly, right
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: even though they know that you know, some shit I
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: said was right. If I got to go through all
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: that and motherfucker's never played my record again, you know
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: why it's worth it. Because I've had multiple people, multiple
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: people't healyon call me and say yo, not call me
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: on personally phone like DM me contact me and say, yo,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: chill you have I'm not on front. I was going
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: through it. I was thinking about doing something stupid, right,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: killing myself, but what you said made me rethink it.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: And because you didn't glorify suicide. Who wouldn't kill yourself?
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: If they say, yo, you're gonna be with forty virgins, Yo,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be amazing if you do that, long live you.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: If they know that that's the reaction to killing themselves,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: why the fuck wouldn't they do it? Shit, I might
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: consider it, but if I know the reaction is, yo,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: you fucking idiot. You're selfish, You left your family, your
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: deckay life is the most precious thing that you can have.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that? You dummy? It's gonna make
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: you think differently. So that's what I do. I say, Yo,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: don't be a fucking junkie. I don't say, oh, it's okay,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: you're using drugs. Everybody go to the thing. No, don't
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: be a fucking Junkie're gonna stink it be a bump.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: That's gonna make you be like, yeah, I'm not getting
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: no pity from motherfuckers. And that's how I come from,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: And if I got to go through all this shit
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: to stop three, four or five people from committing suicide
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: and killing himself, that might be my purpose. That might
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: be my fucking purpose. God might put me here to
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: be their angel, and I gotta go through hell. Some
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: motherfuckers could get to get to heavy. So my next
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: question is when is you in Logic putting out the
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: suicide prevention hotline sequel slash remix? Well, Logic did my suicide.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: You don't know the song, but no, he put out
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: a record. I really don't be listening to people wrap
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: you see what the type shit I'm talking about, Liz,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: what he did with He just put out suicide prevention song.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: But there's nothing wrong with that. That's good. That's a
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: good thing. That's what we need more of. Not long
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: live you when you commit suicode me ask you this, bro,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Like you went through a couple of attempts on your life.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: The last one was what was on Christmas or Christmas Eve? Yep.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: And we've seen so many people die recently, you know
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, we've lost a lot of a
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people in the last since that since you know,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: since your situation A lot of people have passed. How
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: did like, like how did that change your life? And
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: make you like that did it change your life? Like
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: did you have to reevaluate certain things? Certain ways you move,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: like being moving? You know, like how did that change?
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's going for you only only like the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: music shit, like the whole urban plaza shit that made
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: me re evaluate shit. But like, oh I've been I've
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: been having attempts on my life before that. It just
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: wasn't glorified because I wasn't an artist or a musician.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: So like I'm no stranger to streets. Shit, I'm no
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: stranger to being shot. I've been shot before. I don't
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: I was never glorifying and shit of talking about it
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: in my in my raps. I was in shootouts when
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I was fifteen and I got shot, you know what
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like that shit happens when you're coming out
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: the streets. So I was always trying to get out
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: the streets and the only thing that made me move different,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Like you know, you always ice up and be more
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: on point. But that's why it's like hard to say
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: ship without you know what I mean. When you're on
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: care you don't talk about it, but the music ship,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: when when that ship happened, when I'm I had to
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: place the business, you know the fact, Yeah, that's exactly.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: You know how good you feel me? That's the fact. Yeah,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: I remember. But like when you're trying to do the
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: right thing and you at work, you actually place of business,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: It's like how I think Drake Yo the Ruler Home
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Homeboy was like Yo, he work, Draco Jaco, he was,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: he was there to perform, went to work. The same
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: thing with me. That's what I'm trying to say. If
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: you're going and you're doing street ship, like even Christmas,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, the street environment is whatever. I could accept
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: that after you're moving around in the head, you know
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: what I mean, farms parked in the southwell and you
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: know the fucking undesirable grimmy neighborhoods, whatever. That ship come
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: with that. But when I'm going to work, you don't
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: expect that. When I'm going in a place of business
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: showing to better my life, you don't expect that. You
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: feel me. So that made me really move different and
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: see shit totally different. So, like like I said, I've
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: been going through street shit way before that. I don't
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: talk about because I'm not one of these dumb people
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: that incriminate themselves and all kind of shit. But that
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: ain't that don't even sketch the surface. So and the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: reason why I'm here is God, God, I'm blessed, and
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: my reaction is different. I'm not people watch too many movies.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: You see a lot of motherfuckers get shot and me
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: falling on the floor. Oh, watching the fucking movies. When
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: you get shot or to shoot somebody, whatever, you don't
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: have to lay down and die. Dog. You can fight
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: for your life even if you go, even if you're
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: taking your last breaths, you make a choice to lay
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: down and die. You feel me? Or are you paralyzed?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Are you head tapped with you already dead? Whatever? No,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: you still even if you get shot in your fucking heart,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: you're still gonna have some a genuine left right. And
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: that's what I chose. Fight or flight, And I'm gonna
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: fight every time. I'm gonna get hold in my kids.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep getting to this money. You feel me,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: This's not gonna stop. I'm gonna keep dropping music. I'm
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: gonna keep spreading the word the gospel like I'm gonna
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: keep being blessed. And that's the type of man I am.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: And all of that speaks to my character from everything
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: I said, I never have no hate towards anybody. I
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: never dissed nobody for no reason. No, that's what suckers do.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Suckers pick, Suckers start problems, real ones finish it. You
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: feel me, I'm never gonna go out and just take
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: a jab at you because you're doing something. So what
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm the number one independent show me factors
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: that prove different. And so even if I want to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: say it, so what's and that's why I'm here And
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I always flourish. So even after me going through everything
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: and going through courts and losing people and having to
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: get rid of a whole entourage, how I still level up.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: How I'll come out and have twenty five times more
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: than what I had at that time. You supposed to
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: fall and it be nothing and left you' supposed to
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: be done. Bro, I'm just I'm literally sitting here talking
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: about I lost over one hundred and fifty thousand, and
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: I ain't lose it, not gonna wear I think we're
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: gonna fight it in the airport right there, I ain't
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: run out of here like a yo. You gonna find
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: my shit. I know I got my health. Fuck it,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I'll get it back, you know what I'm saying. So
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: that speaks to my character and that's why I'm different,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm just not laying shit shit don't bother me
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: no more. It's whatever. Everything I'm gonna say and do.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: I stand on the Bible, on God. And if you
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: got a problem with me, take it up with God.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: I bet you won't. Would you do a sequel to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: New York City album because that's my favorite project? Yeah? Absolutely,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: But it's gonna be It's gonna be telling the right way,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: like I'm about to drop bricks in my backpack full.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: That's one of the best pitch, one of the best
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: series ever. Sure you know what I'm saying. I'm doing
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: POT four. I got the artwork and everything, but I
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: don't just do shit. You're not gonna hit nobody on
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: New York City the album that don't fit right that
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: you you would? You would never hear that, you know
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So if I'm doing a record like,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it, but whatever, But I just
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: want to be clear it's different types of music, and
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with putting people in groups. And when
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: we start jumbling and ship, that's where you get people
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: who can say, well, you shouldn't have like, there's no
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: way in hell that anybody removing personal feelings aside should
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: be like choy have is wrong for doing this or
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: doing that? How how sway? How? How keV? How? How's

• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: can't I do that shit in public? Why can I?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Why can't I spread the word of God and stand
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: on God in public? You would have got canceled in
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, that shit would have came out. They can't.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: They can't fucking cancel my I'm uncancellable because I'm gonna
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: still get money. My goal is not to be popular.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: My goal is to have the most popular money. You
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I wouldn't be the most like

• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: Dame energy man. It was like that, you know. And
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm real tight with Hope still and obviously that
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: was kind of one of the more disappointed things that
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: had transpired out of that situation was to see you know,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, the breakup of BSB, it kind of
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: felt like, well, I mean, I mean, you got to
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: look at the facts again, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm only going deal with facts. If somebody
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: tell the truth, there's nothing wrong with that telling the truth.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: You got to ask yourself why did that happen? You
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: got to look at it and see why, why why
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: did it happen? So you guys are cool now, though,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: How the convers Like how that first conversation go, because
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's been a while. We just kicking it
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: about some other business that that you know, we we
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: had some other shit we had to settle. So it
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: just went from there. You know what I'm saying. It's
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: just like we got history, history, lifeg time. Yeah, So
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I was just I was most so disappointed
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: in them that in him that Yo, he didn't he
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: didn't stay with me. How I would have still with him? Like,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: no matter what, I'm not letting nothing. If I hear
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: shots go off and you anywhere in the vicinity twenty blocks,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: I'm getting to you no matter what you feel me,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not like, no matter what, I'm looking for you.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: That's how. That's how I'm moving with my peoples because
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: I'm militant like that. And I got real love like that,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, So that I was mostly disappointed,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: like damn, dug, you do me like that after everything?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And then so and that's
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: that should be the question that everybody asks. Now, you know,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: it was other people there that you know sometimes motherfuckers,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: we act different in fight or flight. I'm always fight right,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: but it's all about being on man. Shit. It was
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: other people there that they took flight, but they came back. Yo, yo, bro,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna hold you man. I was scared. I

• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: And then you know what I accepted. I embrace it.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you just gotta say you're wrong, and apologies could
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: fix it if there's history there, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: But some things you you owe more than that. So
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: when yeah, I feel like you guys are like brothers, man,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: that's the fact. That's the fact, My my god child
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: and all that. So it's like real, ship, it's like
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: you gotta ask, so say you out. I don't know
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: if you got brothers, but I know you got all right, Yeah,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: that's the fact. But let's say you got your wife.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: If you go out with your wife and you in
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: the supermarket and she said, Keathy, can you go over

• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: you do. I'm making sure she's no matter what right exactly.
• 1:08:57

• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm really get into the bag and it shows,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: so you can't get to the bag. I feel like
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: watching everyone else's bag. It's hard to eat. If you're
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: looking at somebody else's plate, you're gonna keep missing your
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: mouth facts. So that's real shit. Like I don't know
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: if you tell me like you're saying, like yo, junk code,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: that's what up? Like more power soon, I'm whatever, And
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: I saw the vision. Like I said, I set all
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: that off, you know what I mean? So like whatever,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: but I don't I don't watch face like like they
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: were saying, Brooklyn, something you've been watching face at all?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: That I feel like is probably like proven itself to
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: be a hey, maybe try was on to something. Is
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: that the Streets is a myth. First of all, this
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: podcast is a miss myth because why the funk you
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: bought me a seven eleven pure water? Well, because you're
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: drinking is sentu. I wouldn't do him like that. I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: would not do learn this first of all. Look at
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: the pH levels on that water. The pH levels I
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do like that. No, that's is this alkalom water? Yeah,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: we n we drink thatt water with limit. Listen, bro,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: this is when I'm going to seven eleven. I'm buying nose. Okay,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: that's why I got myself another. I gotta get my gallon.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: Is I'm just this guy? So yeah, but the Streets
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: is a mythship Like I do feel like we've been
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: like like, man, this is this rap shit and like
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: just kind of like the perception of like you know,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: we were talking about the Jacksonville shiit earlier, we were like,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: there's so many people just ending up in jail, bro,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: like for just trying to, I don't know, keep keep
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: up their perception or keep it quote unquote real. I
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: think that that part doing ship and going to jail,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: that part is not a myth. The myth is was
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: supposed to happen. Oh, the rules after that was supposed
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: to happen. So if somebody killed, if somebody, if somebody
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: goes to jail, you're supposed too to take care of
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: their family, their lawyers all with you, their whole new Dang,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to do that. You're never supposed to try
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: to fuck your homeboys girls ever. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: If somebody killed your homies, you're supposed to go in
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: fucking to be killing them, right. That's why you see
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: me on on my case is to get back motherfucker's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: shot me killed my best friend, and you see me
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: going to get to get back right there. That's what
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: it is. It's self defense. It's self defense, like motherfucker
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: used to. You don't see that from people. You see
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: motherfuckers dying and then they just be it. Whether it
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: be people in the streets or whether it be artists,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: friends that die whatever. Like in the hood, you see
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: people that die and then tim will pass and they'll
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: be like getting money with the people who has something
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: to do with to death. I'm not getting money with
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: a friend of yours or cousin or family member. It's
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: all open season on whoever's associated with that. If they
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: if you, if you kill somebody that I love it is,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: whoever you love it, that's a fact. Until you going
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: so like you see that all the time. That's what
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about, the real shit. Everybody want to pet
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: the line until he shows teeth, right, So like you
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: see it time and time again. How many rappers gotta
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: die and then people that killed them and still living
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: and lefting and going on about their business. How many
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: times in the streets motherfuckers gotta die and then the
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: people that killed them. It's still around. The hood is
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: small you twenty block radius, You're still out. You're going
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: to the same parties. Oh nah, it's hot. I'm not
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: gonna crash out. You can't be in the club with
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: somebody that kills your homie. Yo, I'm not gonna crash
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: out now. But then your love ain't that strong? It
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: because in the hood, it teaches you you deal with
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: everything on site, don't fucking play or is that a myth?
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Is that only that it sound good coming out of
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: your mouth. It only sounds good coming out of the
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: mouth for people who ain't gonna do it. Yeah, because
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: the actual ain't gonna do it. Applying yourself to that coach.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: So that's my fault for taking shit literal. I'm taking
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: shit literal like Yo and rap. It's no rules. Jay
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: Z threw the fucking condom on the on the back seat,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. The locks was sorry missus Jackson,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: like all types of disrespect for shit. But then when
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: I get in and I do it, whoa whoa? Hold on,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: that's too much I come from. If somebody try to
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: take your life or they kill when your people, you
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: go at them immediately, right whoa whoa choy avags reckless
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: and dangerous. He's shooting up a club and no kind
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: of shit. Whoa. Okay, So this ship is a myth.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: All this shit is fake, But that's why the sucker
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: is beginning to elevate. You know what I mean, A
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: good thing. By the grace of God. I'm still paid.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: Like I was saying earlier, I feel like you've still
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: been putting music out, but I feel like there's a
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: new energy where I feel like you're kind of like
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: back dug in. Is that is that fair to say?
