- 0:24Speaker 1: YouTube to see the news clips about every things is
- 0:27Speaker 1: going on out here. You look like you got back
- 0:29Speaker 1: in the gym heavy brom I back. You know, they
- 0:31Speaker 1: say I was fat super Bowl. That shit bothers me, man,
- 0:38Speaker 1: because I was like, what are you talking about? I'm
- 0:40Speaker 1: not fat? Like I got I'm gonna sure you pitture
- 0:42Speaker 1: I took with Jimmie Foxx. You know, I guess it's
- 0:45Speaker 1: the angle because I was coming up, so you see
- 0:47Speaker 1: like it looked a little wider and then they got
- 0:50Speaker 1: they got that and they ran with it. But you know,
- 0:51Speaker 1: like I'm I'm looking like now, I fluctuated a lot
- 0:55Speaker 1: throughout mind my run, you know what I'm saying, And
- 0:57Speaker 1: it's just my body tie. I can be security, bro,
- 1:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna be too big and it's sorry. You know,
- 1:03Speaker 1: I started training and working out stuff but regular stuff,
- 1:06Speaker 1: but I just made sure I did it every morning
- 1:08Speaker 1: because they said that to me. How's it back on
- 1:11Speaker 1: the road? You know, the last two three years you've
- 1:12Speaker 1: been doing nothing but movies and shows, and now you're
- 1:15Speaker 1: back on the road. How does that feel to be
- 1:17Speaker 1: out performed? Like? You know, look, hip hop is now
- 1:20Speaker 1: old enough for them to start to treat us like
- 1:22Speaker 1: we treated the real pop stars, you know, like we're
- 1:26Speaker 1: Princeton and Mike. And then when they was, they would
- 1:29Speaker 1: just say I'm performing today and the show would go
- 1:32Speaker 1: up and sell out that day, you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 1:35Speaker 1: and then and the nationally, I'm getting an old response
- 1:38Speaker 1: to the things, like everything sold out like when I
- 1:41Speaker 1: went out there, and it's because I laid the groundwork,
- 1:43Speaker 1: like during Get Richard Died Trying and the Massacre those projects.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Was taking two years for me to come with the
- 1:48Speaker 1: next album because I spent the whole year after I
- 1:50Speaker 1: released it touring, you know, so because I was going
- 1:54Speaker 1: everywhere like Croatia, moved by India, like Coast of Old
- 1:59Speaker 1: like I would everywhere, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 2:01Speaker 1: everywhere that they would I wanted all of the flags
- 2:03Speaker 1: that M had on that Marsha Matters album, Yeah, that plaque.
- 2:07Speaker 1: So I was like, I know I'm gonna have to
- 2:08Speaker 1: go through the door to get it, but I'm gonna
- 2:11Speaker 1: go in the association to M help, you know what
- 2:15Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's like I went out there and
- 2:17Speaker 1: did all of that, but now now it feels good
- 2:19Speaker 1: because I'm able to go out there and through those
- 2:20Speaker 1: things and people really responding to it, and I'm so
- 2:24Speaker 1: seasoned the performance now it's like it's easy, you know
- 2:29Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I'm running out and it's like
- 2:31Speaker 1: oh boom. I'm like, yeah, I'll get do it again
- 2:33Speaker 1: tonight because it makes you feel celebrated and appreciated. Because
- 2:37Speaker 1: fifth you would you a different type of legend, like
- 2:40Speaker 1: it levels the legends, you know, a different type of legends.
- 2:43Speaker 1: You gotta change. You can't see the same way. You
- 2:45Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I'm looking going the things
- 2:47Speaker 1: that I got off phone in the beginning, Charla, it
- 2:50Speaker 1: changed dramatically, like now, look the simplicity and writing music
- 2:55Speaker 1: is a key to it. So like go short, it's
- 2:57Speaker 1: your birthdays. What comes what I'm feeling when I'm hearing
- 2:59Speaker 1: the rec and then the reason is where people have
- 3:03Speaker 1: a specific reason they want to enjoy themselves. When it's
- 3:05Speaker 1: your birthday and we're here, we want to have a
- 3:08Speaker 1: good time. So I'll put that in it. But when
- 3:10Speaker 1: you think about it and television is it's almost never
- 3:14Speaker 1: right the first time, Like they write it and then
- 3:17Speaker 1: they get the notes from the executives and it comes
- 3:19Speaker 1: down with different so it kind of morphs into something different.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And it's choices. So if creatively, if you make if
- 3:24Speaker 1: you go Okay, I'm going left here and they're gonna
- 3:27Speaker 1: but you could have went right, and you see, I
- 3:29Speaker 1: could have did that, but it was a creative choice.
- 3:32Speaker 1: But that example, if they don't give you that example
- 3:35Speaker 1: what you could have did. They don't know why they're
- 3:38Speaker 1: receiving there by they're being paid, so they give you
- 3:42Speaker 1: that example, and then the artists change it and it
- 3:45Speaker 1: just changes. So it makes me not creatively want to
- 3:47Speaker 1: be a part of the writing process because it's a
- 3:50Speaker 1: it's a very tedious process. You got to know so
- 3:53Speaker 1: many details about the story before you get started that
- 3:56Speaker 1: it's like I'd rather feed the writer information being part
- 4:02Speaker 1: of the you know, the whole creative idea. But let
- 4:06Speaker 1: them handle that part because there's so many changes and
- 4:08Speaker 1: stuff until it works. Then you start to see less
- 4:11Speaker 1: and less notes as the projects more and more successful.
- 4:14Speaker 1: But do you feel celebrated? Fifth don't like that's a skill.
- 4:22Speaker 1: So you guys haven't for a long time. I answered
- 4:25Speaker 1: how I want to answer, and I come back and
- 4:28Speaker 1: I say what I want to say. So you look
- 4:30Speaker 1: at you go Now I do feel teb even when
- 4:33Speaker 1: you see the new versions, like when you see like
- 4:35Speaker 1: Dirt and these these other artists that come out that
- 4:37Speaker 1: have that um like the element that is coming straight
- 4:41Speaker 1: out of the environment, you know what I'm saying. And
- 4:43Speaker 1: then you look like and this pure Chicago would you
- 4:46Speaker 1: you get from them? You know what I'm saying. So
- 4:48Speaker 1: I'm looking at him like and I was turned onto
- 4:50Speaker 1: them so early because I remember I was crazy about
- 4:53Speaker 1: Chief Keep. Ye Chief Keep first came. They thought Chief
- 4:58Speaker 1: I just didn't know. You didn't know what I was
- 5:01Speaker 1: talking about. He was like, yo, nah, like what they're
- 5:03Speaker 1: talking about, you know, the environment, how to survive and
- 5:06Speaker 1: function there. And it was in a whole new world
- 5:09Speaker 1: with this this actual business. You know what I'm saying,
- 5:11Speaker 1: but once you get a chance to kind of know them,
- 5:14Speaker 1: you you start to like them because they're not like
- 5:16Speaker 1: the music. What the music is saying is not who
- 5:19Speaker 1: they actually are. Like that's and it's the same thing
- 5:21Speaker 1: with me too, or you wouldn't be able to grow
- 5:23Speaker 1: past those points. He would just look the guy who
- 5:27Speaker 1: does exactly what I'm saying and does is that it's
- 5:32Speaker 1: not successful. Are you doing? Are you doing another album?
- 5:34Speaker 1: Hurt that you might be doing one last album? I
- 5:36Speaker 1: heard you working on? Is there any true to that? Yeah?
- 5:38Speaker 1: I started working on some things like the last one,
- 5:40Speaker 1: though it may not be the last album and maybe
- 5:43Speaker 1: broken up into something that goes out with one of
- 5:46Speaker 1: the television shows. You see what I'm saying. Like, but creatively,
- 5:49Speaker 1: I just said, now I want to do something, and
- 5:51Speaker 1: I got all the vehicles that I needed to do
- 5:53Speaker 1: twenty five television shows, so I could just put here's
- 5:56Speaker 1: the EP connected to this and that if without having
- 6:01Speaker 1: the pressure of it being a full album and and
- 6:03Speaker 1: all that, because like look, if you look when the
- 6:05Speaker 1: last time you've seen the actual numbers on the sales
- 6:08Speaker 1: of record, like you see, Kanye said, you put it
- 6:11Speaker 1: on something device so you can't see the actual number
- 6:15Speaker 1: the numbers, right, and that that's because if you see
- 6:18Speaker 1: the number, you go, oh wait, man, it's how did
- 6:21Speaker 1: you used to be? Yeah, you know it's especially when
- 6:23Speaker 1: you have a huge, successful sales record. So they're avoiding
- 6:27Speaker 1: that number by putting it on a device or putting
- 6:30Speaker 1: it through title or through somewhere else, so you can't
- 6:33Speaker 1: actually see what's happening with it. But the record, they're
- 6:36Speaker 1: bigger stars within the culture because they've been here longer
- 6:40Speaker 1: and developed their brands. I don't even think it mad
- 6:41Speaker 1: at them more. Be honestly, they did what three hundred something,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and people will be like, oh, it's her lower sales weekend.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I'm like, give see twenty five years in and I
- 6:48Speaker 1: mean it's just how many kids you got, three married, married,
- 6:53Speaker 1: three married with three kids and it's supposed to be
- 6:56Speaker 1: the same sex, right, I mean, it's a diff different
- 7:01Speaker 1: energy there. And then our audience has grown the grown folks.
- 7:05Speaker 1: You gotta look and say, I'd say between two thousand
- 7:08Speaker 1: and three and two thousand and five viewers in college,
- 7:10Speaker 1: you my core audience. You know what I'm saying, because
- 7:13Speaker 1: that's when you're having your adult experience. For the first time,
- 7:16Speaker 1: when you party in every available moment possible. And those
- 7:20Speaker 1: those people the material impacted the hardest because it's the
- 7:23Speaker 1: theme music to their life at that point when it's smoking, hotest,
- 7:26Speaker 1: brand new, it's just happening at that point. And then
- 7:29Speaker 1: you look, love music don't get old. So Beyonce that
- 7:32Speaker 1: she ain't going nowhere like Shell, there'll be a reason
- 7:36Speaker 1: for you to want to listen to Beyonce. Like you
- 7:38Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's just when you look at
- 7:40Speaker 1: R and B music and B music require buttons. At
- 7:43Speaker 1: some point you had to be a gentleman. Now you
- 7:46Speaker 1: look up, they got the same tattoos the hip hop artist.
- 7:49Speaker 1: They're saying the same they're singing the lyrics the hip
- 7:52Speaker 1: hop artists would say in the verse, And what about
- 7:55Speaker 1: g Unit? I see Banks making his rounds. Yeah, when
- 7:59Speaker 1: y'all do a project in a documentary, when is that happening?
- 8:02Speaker 1: I probably won't do a project with them. I'm done
- 8:04Speaker 1: with with carrying them around my back hurt. Yeah, it's
- 8:10Speaker 1: a different animal, like if it doesn't you know what
- 8:13Speaker 1: he showed him. If he does something wrong, I don't
- 8:16Speaker 1: care what what magnitude of it is. He'll look, he'll
- 8:20Speaker 1: go my bad, and and you go all right, and
- 8:26Speaker 1: we just keep going to the next time he does
- 8:28Speaker 1: something wrong. That's the relationship. That is our relationship. Now
- 8:33Speaker 1: when you look at the like Banks, all these other guys,
- 8:37Speaker 1: they oh they came in by way of him, and
- 8:42Speaker 1: they have a different temperament. It's not like it's not
- 8:45Speaker 1: the same relationship. So I don't necessarily go back to
- 8:48Speaker 1: carrying them. You know. Yeah, he's it's different. Do you
- 8:53Speaker 1: want do you watch hold On? Do you watch the
- 8:55Speaker 1: unit in interviews? Do you watch like Banks interviews? I
- 8:58Speaker 1: see some of the stuff to come through. I saw
- 9:00Speaker 1: he did something with flex, I saw it yep um clips, Yeah,
- 9:05Speaker 1: because that the whole interview. But I see pieces like
- 9:07Speaker 1: I saw something that he did with your buddy. Yeah,
- 9:09Speaker 1: he gave you big problems on that. He said that
- 9:10Speaker 1: you made him a better songwriter. You improved his craft
- 9:14Speaker 1: at that point. I wasn't doing nothing but writing nothing
- 9:16Speaker 1: the song, right, Like if you're saying, if you're going,
- 9:19Speaker 1: I don't think you should be have the best verse
- 9:21Speaker 1: at fifty years old. In hip hop culture, I think
- 9:24Speaker 1: the hip part of hip hop this youth coaching and
- 9:27Speaker 1: that and that like we we love things that are
- 9:30Speaker 1: like the coach loves things that have been damaged by
- 9:32Speaker 1: the experience. And you can see, no matter how harsh
- 9:37Speaker 1: the experience has been, how beautiful the art is in it,
- 9:41Speaker 1: Like it sounds perfect when you hear Cardi be saying it, Oh,
- 9:44Speaker 1: it sounds like something different, and you know what the
- 9:48Speaker 1: experience has been like prior to that, it's been a
- 9:50Speaker 1: rough road to get there, Like you're going if you
- 9:53Speaker 1: don't think that I picked up specifically because of the
- 9:58Speaker 1: strip club and that experience, the like every single one
- 10:01Speaker 1: of those girls, like let's say about sixty or seventy
- 10:05Speaker 1: percent of them would like to trade places with Cardi
- 10:08Speaker 1: right now. Right, So the dream happened and it's like
- 10:16Speaker 1: a year the record work meant, that got married, Ye
- 10:22Speaker 1: had the kids. The whole shit just came together like
- 10:25Speaker 1: like in one year. So I was like, I'll point
- 10:28Speaker 1: to that because it's the beauty of our cultures, Like
- 10:31Speaker 1: we saved people. And what about the documentary because I
- 10:33Speaker 1: think a lot of people would love to know how
- 10:35Speaker 1: would happened, Like they see fifth they know what happened,
- 10:39Speaker 1: but they don't know how it happened. Yeah, I would
- 10:41Speaker 1: do it. I would do a documentary on it, and
- 10:42Speaker 1: I think the if there would be surprised from from
- 10:47Speaker 1: my perspective what it is like because you look at
- 10:49Speaker 1: it and you say, like we have communications. I come
- 10:52Speaker 1: in and I told them all. I said, Yo, look
- 10:55Speaker 1: under the table. They look under the table and they
- 10:58Speaker 1: got on ELVs and Chi. You know That's what I'm saying,
- 11:01Speaker 1: do not expect your JUNA check to come at the
- 11:06Speaker 1: time they were being paid to where JUnit Sniager is RBK,
- 11:10Speaker 1: So don't expect that check to come in the mail again,
- 11:13Speaker 1: you know what I'm exactly. And it was like jay
- 11:15Speaker 1: Z didn't give his shoe deal to He didn't give
- 11:19Speaker 1: the the other guys that was on Rockefeller the shoe
- 11:23Speaker 1: deal he was with Basketball Plue right, And I'm like,
- 11:26Speaker 1: I could have just put the shoes on the court
- 11:29Speaker 1: or because I took the Stan Smithadita to kind of
- 11:31Speaker 1: create what the Juni shoe was, because it just went
- 11:34Speaker 1: to tennis, you know what I'm saying, And it made
- 11:37Speaker 1: that cool like while we was doing everything else, and
- 11:39Speaker 1: instead I gave all of them to check that fund
- 11:42Speaker 1: that was their finance was coming from RBK to pay
- 11:45Speaker 1: them to do it, and they was just on trim
- 11:47Speaker 1: with what everybody else was doing style wise doing that.
- 11:50Speaker 1: So I'm like, I don't expect that to come. But
- 11:52Speaker 1: at that point I was telling them that they needed
- 11:55Speaker 1: to focus on their branding, stitching and stuff and everything
- 11:58Speaker 1: else because I'm not going to do it for you,
- 12:00Speaker 1: like to just do it for you. And it's it's not. Look,
- 12:04Speaker 1: I'm not that much smarter than these guys. Man. I
- 12:08Speaker 1: just the time period that I had between like five
- 12:12Speaker 1: the massacre, because at that period three from three to five,
- 12:18Speaker 1: I was on the whole experiment. Like the girls was
- 12:21Speaker 1: excited about me. We was going who it was, I
- 12:24Speaker 1: wouldn't even know. It's the fuzziest blurry to me who
- 12:26Speaker 1: was there at that point right now? But oh five,
- 12:30Speaker 1: I was locking in because I was trying to understand
- 12:32Speaker 1: what was actually going on so to get rich to
- 12:35Speaker 1: gossel fans. Yeah, so I was in the in the
- 12:38Speaker 1: in the hotels, I'm on the phone with the lawyer.
- 12:39Speaker 1: U sense, so what does this mean? Because the terms
- 12:42Speaker 1: in the actual contracts are written within legal terms that
- 12:45Speaker 1: I don't understand everything that's dead and I went through
- 12:47Speaker 1: everything into it. I can know enough to use my
- 12:51Speaker 1: gut instincts on how I want to do the deal. Meanwhile,
- 12:54Speaker 1: everybody else is at the party. This this NonStop party
- 12:57Speaker 1: that's going on. That they missed all of the information
- 13:01Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So when it came time for
- 13:03Speaker 1: them to secure keeping things going, they didn't do the
- 13:06Speaker 1: same thing I did. Damn you You you talk about writing,
- 13:09Speaker 1: did you only write for gunit artists? Yesterday I saw
- 13:12Speaker 1: a reference track for Higher Leaked, Yeah, and as you
- 13:15Speaker 1: as you doing. I did what's your Name? Uhi songs
- 13:21Speaker 1: on that album, Well everybody knows that, and I did
- 13:24Speaker 1: on What's your Name? I did Paradise for LL with
- 13:29Speaker 1: but Yeah. I wrote that and then Charmagne did the
- 13:35Speaker 1: reference vocals and then from Tony Pope. Because it was
- 13:38Speaker 1: a familiar loop, it needed to have the chorus on
- 13:40Speaker 1: that to sell, you know, I tracked Myssters used to
- 13:42Speaker 1: do all of the joints over so to pitch that
- 13:46Speaker 1: to LL, you got to have a full picture for
- 13:49Speaker 1: him to see it when he come in, or he's
- 13:51Speaker 1: not gonna understand why he's doing that that loop again,
- 13:53Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And we did that. Then,
- 13:56Speaker 1: um few other pieces I did, but next oh, for Next,
- 14:02Speaker 1: I did the R and B group. Yeah, what song
- 14:05Speaker 1: was it? I forgot? Was Fun of the Joints. But
- 14:07Speaker 1: I got a plaque for that for next and I
- 14:09Speaker 1: did UM I wrote for Puff. But what did you
- 14:16Speaker 1: write for buff the not Guilty and a filthy come
- 14:20Speaker 1: on take this money, this money? Oh up? Joint? You
- 14:26Speaker 1: wrote that? Yeah? I saw ye say that he was
- 14:30Speaker 1: supposed to sign a bad boy. Yeah, you know what.
- 14:33Speaker 1: I was going back and forth and he just he
- 14:36Speaker 1: just look. They knew I was talented. They just looked
- 14:38Speaker 1: at it and was like, I don't want all of
- 14:40Speaker 1: this stuff that comes with him, you know what I'm saying.
- 14:43Speaker 1: And it took for me to go around until uh
- 14:47Speaker 1: the m stumbled over it. But he didn't know the
- 14:49Speaker 1: trouble that came with it what I'm saying. I was like, Yo, no,
- 14:53Speaker 1: this is perfect. Like I wasn't even gonna say nothing,
- 14:56Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I didn't even address them
- 14:59Speaker 1: direc erectly until uh, like John had said something about
- 15:03Speaker 1: Hailey and they had a relationship because they was getting out.
- 15:06Speaker 1: They had hung out together and got high together and them, yeah,
- 15:10Speaker 1: go from there, like because he felt like there was
- 15:14Speaker 1: something that there was closer than it was based on that.
- 15:16Speaker 1: This is joh So he when they got into we
- 15:20Speaker 1: got to a point he had fired off and he
- 15:23Speaker 1: said some stuff about Haley and that was just it.
- 15:26Speaker 1: I seen him was upset. I said all right, I
- 15:27Speaker 1: can't do it now and I went in the next room.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I was in Detroit and I recorded Automatic Gunfight that
- 15:33Speaker 1: weekend because the first tape was the Future was all
- 15:38Speaker 1: of those tapes. That was one photo shoot in this
- 15:40Speaker 1: dude garage. Wowow with the white with the red, white
- 15:44Speaker 1: and blue and the white shirt. It was all three
- 15:47Speaker 1: shirts we had. We had a green theme, the red,
- 15:50Speaker 1: white and blue thing and white t shirts. I want
- 15:52Speaker 1: to go back. So you wrote Higher, Yeah, you wrote
- 15:56Speaker 1: six songs off that album Higher. This is how we do.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Were automatically thinking we do. But his verses on that.
- 16:03Speaker 1: So when you see the writing credit, you think it's
- 16:04Speaker 1: his verse. You see the writing. Look, they said kind
- 16:09Speaker 1: of stuff about like he said he wrote what up Gangs? Yeah,
- 16:12Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, bro, he wasn't even around when
- 16:14Speaker 1: we did that. Like that was before he even came
- 16:16Speaker 1: into the picture. Like that's get rich to died trying.
- 16:19Speaker 1: He didn't even come after that. Yeah, we don't even
- 16:22Speaker 1: know who he was after. But there's a I know,
- 16:25Speaker 1: there's a point where desperation when you say anything like
- 16:28Speaker 1: this is how to rob? Me to ro Yeah, Columbia,
- 16:32Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'm like yo, because after
- 16:35Speaker 1: bigg and the two part of the name artists was
- 16:38Speaker 1: kind of standing away from saying everybody's name. This is
- 16:41Speaker 1: when they're doing twenty three bets on one in them
- 16:44Speaker 1: threat some Syneymlex three TV sets the minimum that's naws
- 16:49Speaker 1: about jay Z in my lifetime, you know what I'm saying.
- 16:52Speaker 1: So that it was all subliminal, say everything I gotta
- 16:55Speaker 1: say about you without saying it's for you, and let
- 16:58Speaker 1: the you know listener go ah oh he's saying this.
- 17:01Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So they were still doing that,
- 17:03Speaker 1: and I was like, uh, okay, I'm say everybody's name
- 17:06Speaker 1: because it looks like I'm going back to the neighborhood.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I'm gonna be subjective to what the guy. So it
- 17:14Speaker 1: just didn't matter. It was like whatever, I'm going back anyway.
- 17:16Speaker 1: It looked like we'll cause more drama. How to rob
- 17:18Speaker 1: a Holy Chrome? How to rob? Really? You know, it's
- 17:23Speaker 1: ill the Karan look, and they just the documentary thing
- 17:26Speaker 1: came out and I don't care nothing about that because
- 17:29Speaker 1: I know nas his the connection to that as there
- 17:33Speaker 1: was god body. You know what I'm saying, like that
- 17:36Speaker 1: is this thing other than that? There's nothing else dead,
- 17:39Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And you look and I go, well,
- 17:42Speaker 1: what is the when they put the Koran? And they
- 17:46Speaker 1: they mentioned how many times did their name were in
- 17:48Speaker 1: records in the documentary and it was cool every time
- 17:52Speaker 1: that their name was in records, but they was upset
- 17:54Speaker 1: with the version that I did. Team up. They went
- 17:58Speaker 1: through ten different For people that don't know what the
- 18:00Speaker 1: holy Qurana is is is you talked about a lot
- 18:02Speaker 1: of the hustlers and queens. Yeah, the neighborhood. Yeah. And
- 18:05Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, but you know, DJs
- 18:06Speaker 1: would get beat up for playing the record all day,
- 18:10Speaker 1: like if you played it, like, don't play that record. Yeah,
- 18:14Speaker 1: that's that's how crazy it was back there. And they
- 18:16Speaker 1: wouldn't say nothing to me though they're going on, no,
- 18:19Speaker 1: you know, like not seeing me, it's enough. And didn't
- 18:22Speaker 1: have problem with the record. Then he had a problem
- 18:24Speaker 1: later when law enforcement start to hold on to the
- 18:27Speaker 1: records and then not holding the record because of what
- 18:31Speaker 1: I said on it, because they already got a separate
- 18:34Speaker 1: homicide that you're sitting in here on. They already got
- 18:37Speaker 1: your tapes in the dope that you got caught within
- 18:40Speaker 1: bottom up. So what they're really holding you to is
- 18:42Speaker 1: the fact that I didn't say nothing when I got hit.
- 18:45Speaker 1: So they're saying, he's associated to this thing with this kid,
- 18:48Speaker 1: and and this is the this is why they keep
- 18:51Speaker 1: bringing that into this actual case. Butmber, all of the
- 18:53Speaker 1: snitch you snitch this is now that's the worst thing
- 18:55Speaker 1: you can be in the environment that I come up in, Right,
- 18:58Speaker 1: what a snitch at And the documentary I'm not in
- 19:02Speaker 1: that case. So there's no snitch there, right, there's nothing
- 19:07Speaker 1: about nothing. All he says is he knew me. He
- 19:10Speaker 1: knew what what that was about. And what it is
- 19:12Speaker 1: what that was about was he got an idea and
- 19:14Speaker 1: they eat the same idea. I got minds work. Obviously,
- 19:19Speaker 1: do you understand what I'm saying. He like his idea
- 19:22Speaker 1: is YO, lead them alone, they our food because he
- 19:26Speaker 1: eating off him, like when the when the fish is
- 19:28Speaker 1: saying yo, while he's saying yo, we beat the feeder,
- 19:31Speaker 1: never beat nothing, and he wasn't involved in nothing. They
- 19:35Speaker 1: really washed you up to make sure that they got
- 19:38Speaker 1: him so you couldn't help him financially. Yeah, they only
- 19:41Speaker 1: put you in the case to eat it. He'll tell
- 19:43Speaker 1: you he was two million in the hole. And the
- 19:46Speaker 1: thing I think I think I heard that he said,
- 19:47Speaker 1: they don't drink cha, So why are you two million
- 19:49Speaker 1: in the hole? Is to make sure you can't help him.
- 19:52Speaker 1: He went to trial with a legal eighty. They never
- 19:55Speaker 1: had a home jury, know nothing. These words out of
- 19:57Speaker 1: his mouth. You see what I'm saying. But I go
- 20:00Speaker 1: see bids, I go see kat In Clinton. Cat go,
- 20:04Speaker 1: Yeah he fucked that up, he go. I don't understand
- 20:09Speaker 1: he was supposed to have both. Why he choose You
- 20:15Speaker 1: see what I'm saying, Like he's going, y'all from you
- 20:17Speaker 1: from It's like you're from this that's automatic, and you're going,
- 20:21Speaker 1: I understand that these kids are trying to make death row.
- 20:25Speaker 1: This is Cat saying, they're trying to make death row.
- 20:27Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to do with this, with that,
- 20:29Speaker 1: But why would you go against that? To do that
- 20:34Speaker 1: when you know I had to residence to go against
- 20:37Speaker 1: anybody like there's nobody this too, it else. Those are
- 20:39Speaker 1: the guys that you would choose not to go against
- 20:42Speaker 1: at that point. It's in the environment. They got it,
- 20:45Speaker 1: and it's not him individually, because everybody's greater than their
- 20:48Speaker 1: absence than they are in the presence. His or is
- 20:51Speaker 1: stronger than he is. He asked him about that. When
- 20:54Speaker 1: he go get his arm broke and they joint them,
- 20:56Speaker 1: they missed that part. He's gonna say he slipped fell
- 20:59Speaker 1: on mind. Yeah, is there anybody fifty cent fears? Ever?
- 21:04Speaker 1: Historically in life all of the situations. If you don't
- 21:08Speaker 1: have fear, then you're not Then you're just not acknowledging
- 21:10Speaker 1: danger point. Yeah, but you just you're just not stupid,
- 21:16Speaker 1: Then you're not scared enohing. You watch that guy that
- 21:19Speaker 1: just has a zero fear and say, yeah, we can
- 21:22Speaker 1: get him. He's tough. We're gonna have a hard time
- 21:24Speaker 1: chewing on him, but we're gonna get him. We get him.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Like other than that, you just gotta pay attention to it.
- 21:29Speaker 1: It's surrounded as things is going on, like and you
- 21:31Speaker 1: say never never saying the toughest guy, I just I'm
- 21:36Speaker 1: gonna do what I want to do. And then if
- 21:40Speaker 1: I die in the process. I was doing what I
- 21:42Speaker 1: wanted to do. Even the themes. Look, it's power the dollar, Yeah,
- 21:46Speaker 1: I get here, I come back, get rich or die trying. Yeah, right,
- 21:50Speaker 1: and the prices because that's already what I'm feeling, like,
- 21:53Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I'm in the process. It's the
- 21:54Speaker 1: greatest thing is to watch me because either I'm going
- 21:57Speaker 1: to get rich or I'm gonna die in the process.
- 22:00Speaker 1: And this is what I'm gonna call the record. So
- 22:02Speaker 1: it was the massacre you projecting all the pain you
- 22:05Speaker 1: felt on everybody else. I was supposed to go, but
- 22:08Speaker 1: that album was supposed to come out February Age supposed
- 22:11Speaker 1: to be the same Valentine's Day Master they pushed it
- 22:14Speaker 1: back because we was doing too good with games record,
- 22:17Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, Like you got to think in
- 22:19Speaker 1: the scope was when East Coast West Coast was going on.
- 22:22Speaker 1: In the scope was the West coast, So it's some
- 22:26Speaker 1: uncomfortability with me being from the East coast. Yeah, then
- 22:29Speaker 1: I'm not even conscious of Initially I'm going like yo,
- 22:32Speaker 1: They're like yo, they love that, they're doing extremely well
- 22:35Speaker 1: like that, but they're going to damn why we can't
- 22:37Speaker 1: have one like from here, you see what I'm saying,
- 22:41Speaker 1: Like from Drake's perspective, it's why why we can't have
- 22:43Speaker 1: one from the West coast like that? And it's that's
- 22:50Speaker 1: the assignment to a game started moving. It was like wait, wait,
- 22:52Speaker 1: wait to build that, Like what's that? That record is
- 22:55Speaker 1: out in the selling They're going to wait, we don't
- 22:57Speaker 1: want to cut the legs off of this, And you're going,
- 23:02Speaker 1: but that's rearranging my presentation what I'm doing. So now
- 23:07Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't have given him things it was
- 23:11Speaker 1: so good if I felt like it was going all
- 23:13Speaker 1: to what I'm doing, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 23:15Speaker 1: I did my first record so fast like the second record.
- 23:18Speaker 1: My attempt that the first record went was done in
- 23:21Speaker 1: the weekend, so did get rich? No, the second the
- 23:25Speaker 1: massacre and that the attempt that was done in the
- 23:28Speaker 1: weekend turns into games out. You regret giving game, you regret,
- 23:32Speaker 1: hated to love it. This is how we do. Look,
- 23:35Speaker 1: it's just the way things are. When I look, I
- 23:38Speaker 1: don't I don't see anyone who's who hasn't um, who
- 23:44Speaker 1: hasn't helped other artists and haven't had it reciprocated probably
- 23:50Speaker 1: like that's what every everybody, you know what I'm saying,
- 23:53Speaker 1: even with Koda, you see him with jack Boy, the
- 23:56Speaker 1: things that these guys come together because I'm told Code
- 23:59Speaker 1: that he oh yo, but I didn't know we was
- 24:01Speaker 1: gonna go through that. It's too hard, Like it's too
- 24:05Speaker 1: hard to get it for us to go through that.
- 24:07Speaker 1: So but now that's the same thing as what we
- 24:09Speaker 1: experienced we looked down for like when they're not right
- 24:14Speaker 1: under you, because they're in a different area, it's easy
- 24:17Speaker 1: to persuade them. Like. This is also how Jimmy Henchman felt.
- 24:22Speaker 1: This is what drive what how game was behaving because
- 24:25Speaker 1: he also had his whole management team is going, yo,
- 24:28Speaker 1: you don't need them from you got a whole coast,
- 24:31Speaker 1: you got the whole West coast, Like you don't gotta
- 24:33Speaker 1: be down with them. When he's I just gave him
- 24:35Speaker 1: the record, you know what I'm saying, and then they
- 24:38Speaker 1: go oh he flips out. I'm like, oh okay, but
- 24:42Speaker 1: it is a reflection of you see how the Jimmy
- 24:44Speaker 1: Henchman thing turned out, like the eight tons into real
- 24:47Speaker 1: street stuff, you know what I'm saying. So you're going
- 24:50Speaker 1: he was feeling that way along before, Yeah, I mean,
- 24:54Speaker 1: and then then it just was like, yeah, full on,
- 24:57Speaker 1: we could do everything we want to do. Vice first
- 25:00Speaker 1: because Chris really his issues was with Chris, with Chris Lydy.
- 25:04Speaker 1: That's why I don't like James Cruise, why I saw, Yeah,
- 25:08Speaker 1: I don't like I don't like him at all, Like
- 25:09Speaker 1: because he's a sucker. Like the whole time he was
- 25:11Speaker 1: like he was still going to go see Jimmy hanging out. Meanwhile,
- 25:15Speaker 1: Jimmy's getting Mike Lighty cut in the back of the
- 25:18Speaker 1: head and everything else and the shooting and everything else
- 25:21Speaker 1: is going. He's a punk. Like when you see people
- 25:23Speaker 1: that like they're just feel full of We said respect
- 25:27Speaker 1: come from admiration of fear one of the others, right,
- 25:30Speaker 1: His respect for Jimmy comes from fear. So he's a
- 25:33Speaker 1: sucker in my eyes, you know what I'm saying. And
- 25:35Speaker 1: then he does all of this talk about things that
- 25:37Speaker 1: went on with Chris Lydy. Then I'm like, yo, why
- 25:40Speaker 1: are you even talking about what I'm doing? Come from me?
- 25:43Speaker 1: You You was like you were in the meeting. You
- 25:46Speaker 1: didn't actually make no deals. I thought he said he
- 25:48Speaker 1: managed you. At one point he was working for Chris Lydy.
- 25:53Speaker 1: So you in there as Chris Lady's assistant while you're
- 25:55Speaker 1: doing what you're doing in the deal, and when did
- 25:58Speaker 1: you He never had no agreement with me to manage
- 26:00Speaker 1: me in anyway or any capacity. So when you say that,
- 26:04Speaker 1: it irritates me, you know what I'm saying that Then
- 26:06Speaker 1: like later he's just he's a sucker. I didn't understand
- 26:10Speaker 1: why Chris wanted him around, you know what I'm saying,
- 26:12Speaker 1: Like when the shooting happened with little kim O d
- 26:16Speaker 1: Rod hating him, Yo, come out from behind the red car.
- 26:19Speaker 1: They got us. That's what he was doing, you know
- 26:23Speaker 1: what I'm like. And the Chris was like like dealing
- 26:29Speaker 1: with him because he had, you know, like a background.
- 26:31Speaker 1: He was because he had a radio background. He always
- 26:34Speaker 1: looked like he should get a piece. But if you're
- 26:37Speaker 1: getting the best deal for me, why do you feel
- 26:39Speaker 1: like somebody should get your piece. That's the way I
- 26:41Speaker 1: look at it. I look like if you go to
- 26:43Speaker 1: somebody else to say, yo, you should get me a watch,
- 26:45Speaker 1: or you should get me this, That's that was his thing.
- 26:48Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that, I'm like, but if
- 26:49Speaker 1: you're asking them for a watch. Then you felt like
- 26:51Speaker 1: you gave him a deal to then you didn't get
- 26:54Speaker 1: me the best deal if you if he owes your
- 26:56Speaker 1: watch for the deal. You see what I'm saying. And
- 26:59Speaker 1: then it's like they act like they don't understand why
- 27:03Speaker 1: I don't like him. Between you, Diddi and Crews, I
- 27:05Speaker 1: don't think you'd have worked on bad Boy. I don't
- 27:07Speaker 1: think terrible, but you know, I look at that point,
- 27:11Speaker 1: I would have probably did the deal. There was no
- 27:13Speaker 1: other like at that point. But when I was, when
- 27:16Speaker 1: I was Jennifer who told Puff to work with me
- 27:22Speaker 1: okay because she her first album want to Say Boy.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Rooney was the executive producer. Borey Rooney was my executive
- 27:28Speaker 1: producer for Power of the Doubt. So we had the
- 27:31Speaker 1: relationship from Queens and everything coming out that they put
- 27:35Speaker 1: us in the same circles. And then Jennifer was telling Yo,
- 27:37Speaker 1: he is dope. You work with him like he's gonna
- 27:40Speaker 1: it's gonna eventually it's gonna happen, you know. And then Puff,
- 27:45Speaker 1: that's what Puff is calling me down to do it.
- 27:47Speaker 1: But Puff can't even hear hit. See I know he can't.
- 27:51Speaker 1: He couldn't Puff can't hear a hit. That's kind of crazy.
- 27:55Speaker 1: He still hear things from back then that time, Oh
- 27:59Speaker 1: got you? Now I can't buy the right. He can't.
- 28:01Speaker 1: You play for him right now and it's hot, he
- 28:03Speaker 1: can't buy it. This is why he's fighting Drake when
- 28:06Speaker 1: you hit Drake because he used the beat that he
- 28:08Speaker 1: didn't actually you know what I'm saying. So if you like,
- 28:12Speaker 1: he heard it and then he heard Drake's used it,
- 28:14Speaker 1: but it wasn't a hit yet until Drake put the
- 28:16Speaker 1: thing the lines are and he's upset about that because
- 28:20Speaker 1: he can't hear it. But he felt like he took
- 28:22Speaker 1: something from and you know there's something to him for that.
- 28:26Speaker 1: But did terr Marie ever pay you all your money yet?
- 28:29Speaker 1: She's still how much? Just love that old I think
- 28:35Speaker 1: it's like fifty something thousand now, I thought it was
- 28:39Speaker 1: twenty five thousand. Yeah, and it keeps going up because
- 28:41Speaker 1: she keeps delaying and moving around like the she gonna
- 28:44Speaker 1: feel like she went to college. Man, it's clearly the
- 28:46Speaker 1: principle with you because it's not the money. Why though,
- 28:50Speaker 1: because I have to set examples so people don't keep
- 28:52Speaker 1: coming to play with me. See, look, this is Lisa Bloom.
- 28:55Speaker 1: I don't think nobody played, but I don't think nobody
- 29:00Speaker 1: plays with the said me too. I say not me.
- 29:05Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, you know what I'm
- 29:07Speaker 1: saying When they say me too, I said, na me,
- 29:09Speaker 1: I'm not involved with that. So when she comes, she
- 29:12Speaker 1: was upset because I said something about Trey Trey Songs
- 29:16Speaker 1: had a situation that was going on one of the
- 29:17Speaker 1: girls that was around in the actual house set. Nah,
- 29:21Speaker 1: he didn't hit her that particular situation. He didn't hit it.
- 29:24Speaker 1: He put out out the house, but the way he
- 29:26Speaker 1: said it and he did it made her feel like
- 29:29Speaker 1: she felt like he slapped her right, and that's why
- 29:33Speaker 1: later she said that he hit her. And I'm like,
- 29:36Speaker 1: because the other female that I knew it was there
- 29:39Speaker 1: said that to me. I was like, nah, I don't
- 29:41Speaker 1: believe he did that. And then she was like, don't
- 29:44Speaker 1: be uh, but she's shaming the girl that um one
- 29:50Speaker 1: of her clients, Victim Shaman one of her clients. And
- 29:53Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, like, I'm not Victim Shaman. I'm
- 29:56Speaker 1: just saying I don't believe her. And then the next
- 29:59Speaker 1: available thing that she could come with, she was, oh, yes, yes,
- 30:02Speaker 1: jumped on Tara Marie think because she's gonna come, she
- 30:05Speaker 1: gonna service me, right, she gonna because the climate is
- 30:08Speaker 1: all me too. That when you bring a female and
- 30:11Speaker 1: you said you've done something. You see what I'm saying,
- 30:14Speaker 1: they felt like, oh yeah, yeah, you're finished, buddy. And
- 30:19Speaker 1: then when it don't work out, they think it just
- 30:22Speaker 1: goes away. You can't say that you see what they came.
- 30:26Speaker 1: But that was a great I understand. I understand exactly
- 30:28Speaker 1: why he's doing ten times. I get it because they
- 30:31Speaker 1: would hold it to you, yes, yes, and then you
- 30:33Speaker 1: know what they would do to you, like just based
- 30:35Speaker 1: on those circumstances, like you go in in the entire
- 30:38Speaker 1: career and you go so that's what you was attempting
- 30:41Speaker 1: to do at that point or you wanted She's said
- 30:44Speaker 1: to a friend, now I'm trying to get the bag.
- 30:45Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that. I'm like, okay, so
- 30:48Speaker 1: now I'm gonna make you feel like you went to college.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Ko Cyrus, are you gonna help me get into acting?
- 30:53Speaker 1: You want to do some acting? Anyone? He was up there.
- 30:56Speaker 1: He said that you were supposed to sign put him
- 30:57Speaker 1: in power, to put him in power. Good guy, it's
- 31:01Speaker 1: a personality. I think it's bigger personality than than artist,
- 31:05Speaker 1: like as a songwriter and stuff like that, because when
- 31:07Speaker 1: you watch him, like when I see him on the
- 31:09Speaker 1: clips and stuff like that, now he like that in person.
- 31:12Speaker 1: It's a ton of personality there. So you know, will

- 32:25Speaker 1: Oh that's true? Oh yeah yeah YEAHO talented and and
- 32:29Speaker 1: I want to get Justin and something. How did that
- 32:32Speaker 1: go to? Do you? Do? You have talked about that
- 32:34Speaker 1: he stay out, stays out of that, you know what
- 32:35Speaker 1: we're talking about that it was more, it's more that's
- 32:38Speaker 1: about his talent though, that's not about like he read
- 32:40Speaker 1: he read for that, he killed it, you know what
- 32:42Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think, like and I called him to
- 32:45Speaker 1: tell him that, like you ain't got to do with
- 32:46Speaker 1: you that, it's really about the work you put in
- 32:50Speaker 1: Right now, now, why did you pass on Jay Coole before?
- 32:52Speaker 1: That's before we get to the new stuff. Why did
- 32:53Speaker 1: you pass on Jay Coole? That was so early? Bro,
- 32:56Speaker 1: Like like this is before Like I think, look, there's
- 33:00Speaker 1: a difference, you know, I think when at that point
- 33:03Speaker 1: we didn't have a lot of representation on the street,
- 33:05Speaker 1: and like we were the representation at that point, and
- 33:09Speaker 1: you know they're they're cringing for something else that whatever
- 33:13Speaker 1: it is, that it's to me. J cole Um, Kendrick
- 33:18Speaker 1: lamar Um. These artists existed early on when I fell
- 33:25Speaker 1: in love with hip hop. But it was Tyler qual Yeah,
- 33:29Speaker 1: it was most deaf, tropical questions, It's trip coal quest
- 33:32Speaker 1: It was like, it was Tyler most common sense, you
- 33:40Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And they really as dope as
- 33:43Speaker 1: they are, like that they are that it's like, it's
- 33:47Speaker 1: smarter rap, smarter music. The logic can sit down, be humble.
- 33:53Speaker 1: We're supposed to already know to sit down and be humble.
- 33:56Speaker 1: They put that there. It's it's it's almost the conscious
- 33:59Speaker 1: side of of it. And I looked and I'm like,
- 34:02Speaker 1: oh no, I was cool, but I didn't really know
- 34:04Speaker 1: if everybody was ready for it because of how strong
- 34:07Speaker 1: it was embracing what were doing street stuff that I
- 34:10Speaker 1: got a lot of people say that when you and
- 34:12Speaker 1: Kanye went head up, and that's what that was when
- 34:16Speaker 1: you sold them, when you sold more, it shifted from
- 34:18Speaker 1: the streets streets to know when you do Look, they
- 34:22Speaker 1: just wanted that anyway, Look, look at the best New
- 34:24Speaker 1: Artists a thirteen million records. On the first album, you
- 34:27Speaker 1: got to have a double CD and Die to Go
- 34:30Speaker 1: Diamond Tupac or Eyes on Me. Yeah. Prior to my
- 34:35Speaker 1: album Come and Give It to Die Try, you had
- 34:36Speaker 1: to have a double CD and Die a big two.
- 34:39Speaker 1: I think likely those are the only two albums that
- 34:42Speaker 1: they sold that many copies. So when you come and
- 34:46Speaker 1: and you're having that much success, you would see uh.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Dianel Ross was on on the award panels saying, you
- 34:56Speaker 1: don't have to be like this, like you don't have
- 34:58Speaker 1: to be like like they're afraid their kids going want
- 35:02Speaker 1: to be fifty if they acknowledge the material, so they
- 35:06Speaker 1: don't give you the trophies. I got the checks. I
- 35:08Speaker 1: didn't get Jake got all of my fucking trophies. Man,
- 35:12Speaker 1: that's because he signed that contract. Who contract. No, if
- 35:19Speaker 1: you don't sign, you don't give him a trophy. She
- 35:21Speaker 1: ain't coming. They don't need him in the seats. Now,
- 35:25Speaker 1: come on, you know Beyonce and I ran down on
- 35:28Speaker 1: you once fifth come on. She did she did work.
- 35:30Speaker 1: She jumped up in the thing off collect I was like,
- 35:33Speaker 1: oh shit, I didn't really know what to do and
- 35:35Speaker 1: be looking. It was worse situations where he was like, whoa,
- 35:38Speaker 1: he says to Jay. He says, Ja, he'll look at
- 35:41Speaker 1: you a goal. No, that happened. Beyonce jumped down on you.
- 35:47Speaker 1: She jumped out. She was like on a window sill
- 35:49Speaker 1: right who was in Vegas? She said, I come on talking.
- 35:52Speaker 1: She jumped out. She was like, and I'm like, wait,
- 35:54Speaker 1: what did you doing that? Stuff? And stuff? This ain't
- 35:58Speaker 1: got nothing to do with you girl? Come so hod
- 36:00Speaker 1: wasn't there me. I'm talking to Jail and I talked
- 36:04Speaker 1: to Jay. She jumped out and come over, said, old ship,
- 36:06Speaker 1: look at this about to jump you Lucky so luge
- 36:08Speaker 1: wasn't I would have had a reboot like that elevator
- 36:17Speaker 1: like it was nothing some gastes shit going on? Nothing?
- 36:23Speaker 1: What the bay? She was just staring at you now,
- 36:25Speaker 1: she can't like she was ready, like something was gonna happen.
- 36:29Speaker 1: And I'm like, yo, whoaa, she's throwing me off now
- 36:34Speaker 1: because I don't know what exactly how to respond it.
- 36:38Speaker 1: You are still beyond sane, you know. She brought all
- 36:41Speaker 1: of the sexy over that jumping off and I'm like,
- 36:45Speaker 1: what the fuck I'm seeing all this I'm like, wait,
- 36:51Speaker 1: what happened? I look at Jail. He goes Now, but
- 36:56Speaker 1: y'all knew each other. For you though you had you
- 36:58Speaker 1: had the thugs. What I want? Yeah? Yeah, that's the cap.
- 37:03Speaker 1: You know that Beyonce back fifty down? You know that.
- 37:06Speaker 1: I thought people do that people. Oh she did jump down.
- 37:10Speaker 1: I didn't even know how to respond to that. I
- 37:11Speaker 1: just looked at Jay. He was looking at He was like,
- 37:15Speaker 1: I said, all right, whatever, I don't know what because
- 37:18Speaker 1: we really I'm just saying, what's up? But she feeling
- 37:21Speaker 1: my energy come over? Because we do say things about
- 37:24Speaker 1: each other. It's competitive nature. That's it hip hop at
- 37:27Speaker 1: It's not like I didn't want to do something more.
- 37:30Speaker 1: We don't want to do something not to each other.
- 37:32Speaker 1: Y'all gotta go. Y'all still got y'all got a good relationship, right, Yeah?
- 37:35Speaker 1: If you look, I think if you don't have, if
- 37:39Speaker 1: you don't have people that you're competing with, I don't
- 37:42Speaker 1: know where you get your additional energy. Right. That's speaking
- 37:47Speaker 1: speaking of Houston's Renee. Renee's like cut my Tycoo weekend.
- 37:55Speaker 1: They take to me thirty six thousands Tycoon Weekend break Down.
- 38:00Speaker 1: What is tip a weekend for people that don't know
- 38:02Speaker 1: Tycoon for it's really it started in Atlanta and and
- 38:06Speaker 1: did it the first time. We did it in Atlanta.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Then we moved it to let we break it down.
- 38:11Speaker 1: So in Atlanta they rented a mansion in a residential
- 38:13Speaker 1: area and had about five thousand people coming that residential area,
- 38:18Speaker 1: white people walking their dogs, and we just brought the
- 38:21Speaker 1: hood to I mean, I don't even know how you
- 38:23Speaker 1: did that. Yeah, it was like a real show that
- 38:26Speaker 1: we did, like a show. Everybody Christmas there, everybody came.
- 38:30Speaker 1: We did that. Then the next day it was the
- 38:32Speaker 1: pool party thing and it went over. We got away
- 38:36Speaker 1: with that because there's nothing really, nothing bad happened, resulted
- 38:40Speaker 1: in just a great time. Then in New York we
- 38:43Speaker 1: did it again, but we did it attached to the
- 38:47Speaker 1: premiere the Power of Man. So we sold the gardeners
- 38:51Speaker 1: sold out and we did the because I had all
- 38:53Speaker 1: of everybody coming out to do some performances stuff at
- 38:57Speaker 1: the same time. So we did talk on around it
- 38:59Speaker 1: and that was a uma in Jersey and then um
- 39:04Speaker 1: we surrounded a bunt, tried to surround more events with it,
- 39:07Speaker 1: like Pier one fifteen and a bunch of other stuff.
- 39:11Speaker 1: And then the next time, like this time in Houston,
- 39:15Speaker 1: there's so many locations that it makes it made better
- 39:18Speaker 1: sense to build out a whole weekend, and so I
- 39:21Speaker 1: took the Toyota Center and the Comedy Music Festival. I
- 39:25Speaker 1: added the comedy show to it, and then I put
- 39:27Speaker 1: um like musical acts in between each comedian and keep
- 39:30Speaker 1: the room the abians going, and then the same way
- 39:33Speaker 1: the DJ would play music in between. Instead of that,
- 39:37Speaker 1: we're getting the five artists and then when the proceeds
- 39:42Speaker 1: to that will go to the Unity and enter HID.
- 39:46Speaker 1: So you don't even make no money over it. That's
- 39:47Speaker 1: not charity. That's the entrepreneurship program. In Houston, I did
- 39:53Speaker 1: three schools versus with Lee Worthing and cash Man, and
- 39:58Speaker 1: I'm spending it to six schools, and then the proceeds
- 40:01Speaker 1: from the show, we're probably fund being able to do
- 40:04Speaker 1: even more so probably probably nine schools. But though that
- 40:07Speaker 1: by at that point we out of the hood, because
- 40:10Speaker 1: we don't gonna run out of the hood spots, and
- 40:12Speaker 1: then we and everybody else's neighborhood with adopter school program.
- 40:16Speaker 1: But entrepreneurship program is doing extremely well. It's when you
- 40:21Speaker 1: put when you bring the kids together and you tell
- 40:24Speaker 1: them you got to come up with your idea to
- 40:27Speaker 1: be successful because it's their idea. You see how much
- 40:31Speaker 1: more passionate there about it. And then when it gets
- 40:34Speaker 1: to the point that they sort out that because they're
- 40:37Speaker 1: providing the information for them how to develop it, and
- 40:40Speaker 1: then they're gonna see what you need now, and they said,
- 40:41Speaker 1: well we need money and then go well, okay, well
- 40:44Speaker 1: here's how we fell out your job application. When you
- 40:48Speaker 1: do that, seventy five sixty nine of the seventy five
- 40:51Speaker 1: kids were employed because it's not even your idea, it's
- 40:56Speaker 1: my idea. I need the money so I can pay
- 40:58Speaker 1: for my idea. Wow, Versus you're saying, yo, go get
- 41:01Speaker 1: a job. They're like, nah, I don't know if if
- 41:03Speaker 1: I want a job because it's too much, you know
- 41:07Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Until once they put their thought into
- 41:09Speaker 1: what they actually want to do and they become passionate
- 41:11Speaker 1: about it, they get into it, they actually want to
- 41:13Speaker 1: make it happen. So it was able to get more
- 41:16Speaker 1: of a motivated to do some different stuffs. So much
- 41:20Speaker 1: you know what, my experience in Houston, it's just been
- 41:23Speaker 1: kind acts. Some people from Houston, like I've had a
- 41:25Speaker 1: good time several times that I went out there and
- 41:28Speaker 1: made me like it. And then the taxes, ye say taxes, Yeah,
- 41:33Speaker 1: because I'm looking at all. I guess the Yankee hat, bro,
- 41:37Speaker 1: So they gave me was a Yankee hat, and they
- 41:40Speaker 1: want now you go so more than your partner. I'm like,
- 41:46Speaker 1: wait a minute, I could have the wonder Puffy's touching
- 41:52Speaker 1: that button Miami. He has more money because this Miami.
- 42:02Speaker 1: That's what happens, bro. Now you do think about you
- 42:04Speaker 1: like when you know much money we could be making
- 42:06Speaker 1: if we was in not New York. It's a different thing.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Like it's just look and y'all syndicated so many places
- 42:12Speaker 1: that YA can just move the shoulder. Let's take the
- 42:15Speaker 1: show to Houston. Don't give us no idea. I'll be
- 42:20Speaker 1: in South Carolina. No, I mean Florida. That's straight like that.
- 42:25Speaker 1: I go to Houston in a minute for that. So
- 42:27Speaker 1: when's the weekend? With that weekend? It's August twenty fifth
- 42:30Speaker 1: through to twenty eight. Okay, a couple more questions you, um,
- 42:32Speaker 1: how have you even been able to maintain relationships with
- 42:35Speaker 1: people even though you have said things about them? Like
- 42:37Speaker 1: the Doctor Dre's the Jimmy Ivens, like like Drey had
- 42:40Speaker 1: you at the super Bowl. I don't think you know,
- 42:42Speaker 1: Jimmy Ivien will walk by you at the game like
- 42:45Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like you know? Still look
- 42:47Speaker 1: when you say when I say things like I'm really
- 42:50Speaker 1: talking about the true experience, I'm not saying anything about them.
- 42:54Speaker 1: That's a lot like you know what I'm saying. I
- 42:55Speaker 1: didn't be upset, did you? You know what I mean?
- 42:58Speaker 1: And maybe this person can't speak to you when they
- 43:01Speaker 1: see you because you said something and you'd like lied
- 43:03Speaker 1: on them. But if you you said f Jimmy V
- 43:06Speaker 1: on the record on a mixtape, because he gave examples.
- 43:10Speaker 1: It gave examples that it's okay as long as it
- 43:13Speaker 1: makes money. Oh god, okay to disrespect you. So it's
- 43:16Speaker 1: okay for a game to say everything that he said
- 43:18Speaker 1: because he was still an earner. He's still bringing the money.
- 43:21Speaker 1: And this is the example that you gave me because
- 43:23Speaker 1: he brought me that and said, if you can you
- 43:25Speaker 1: fix this, if you fix it out, I'll give you,
- 43:29Speaker 1: like break the deal up and give you the half
- 43:31Speaker 1: of the money. And then when when the disrespect comes in, there,
- 43:36Speaker 1: and it's like it's almost a fear factor because of
- 43:39Speaker 1: the association of the Jimmy Hensiman thing. Add that to
- 43:43Speaker 1: it because that kept them from not not doing the project.
- 43:50Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, And then there's a whole different,
- 43:53Speaker 1: different thing. But in that example of you saying, you
- 43:55Speaker 1: can say all that and look, if you signed the
- 43:58Speaker 1: unit direct like the other or with that kind of disrespect,
- 44:03Speaker 1: you don't have a record deal, you don't have music
- 44:06Speaker 1: coming out. Instead, because it was a joint venture, there
- 44:11Speaker 1: was still no control factor and they continue to put
- 44:13Speaker 1: the music out. So it was like, you're letting me
- 44:16Speaker 1: compete with me so you can make money, right the
- 44:19Speaker 1: artist that comes from the material that I just created,
- 44:22Speaker 1: that that made it sell five million pieces, It is
- 44:25Speaker 1: now a legit competitor for me. When how about the
- 44:29Speaker 1: label when you're delivering something that's pro fitty saying you're
- 44:31Speaker 1: delivering something that's anti fifty said, aren't you telling the
- 44:34Speaker 1: DJ's okay to say whatever you feel about it? But bro,
- 44:38Speaker 1: I heard you ship on TV networks and then get
- 44:40Speaker 1: a deal from the same TV network because they don't
- 44:43Speaker 1: care about They're not one person. The network is a conglomerate.
- 44:47Speaker 1: There's multiple people there. Like when you say this person,
- 44:51Speaker 1: isn't it but you said that before? Yeah, like this person.
- 44:57Speaker 1: You're talking about this person, not the entire organization. And
- 45:01Speaker 1: you're gonna if when the projects working on projects. No,
- 45:04Speaker 1: it's just true, like these people have issues, Like you
- 45:06Speaker 1: got people that have cool jobs that weren't necessarily cool
- 45:09Speaker 1: people on the way there and they get there and
- 45:12Speaker 1: they're dealing with their own issues, their own energy. They're
- 45:16Speaker 1: like looking for they want to be seen as the CEO,
- 45:19Speaker 1: the guy who actually made it happen. And I get
- 45:22Speaker 1: in away with that because people look and say, fifty mate,
- 45:25Speaker 1: that's fifty show. You see what I'm saying. So you
- 45:28Speaker 1: get that energy only it's there. If that's a conflict.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Anybody that doesn't doesn't care about that. It's gonna be
- 45:35Speaker 1: like so we watching stars or not anymore? Because you
- 45:37Speaker 1: say I thought it was no subscription. Yeah, programmers for
- 45:41Speaker 1: six months. That's what I thought. It's gonna come back,
- 45:45Speaker 1: So I give my subscription back. I want to make
- 45:46Speaker 1: sure it was all stars. You say all stars. I
- 45:49Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be where it was what it was,
- 45:51Speaker 1: where it was headed because I won't be loading everything
- 45:54Speaker 1: else going to it, but they have this would be
- 45:57Speaker 1: there and then the new stuff that I have, like
- 46:00Speaker 1: I took the massacre, the snoops. It was the case
- 46:06Speaker 1: different things off of the platform because it's like, nah,
- 46:09Speaker 1: I'm doing too much for the platform if you go
- 46:11Speaker 1: look when I didn't received the accolades connected to the
- 46:13Speaker 1: success that I was having. In music, I focused on
- 46:17Speaker 1: the actual sound scan. This is when the artists started
- 46:19Speaker 1: talking about sound scale correct and everything else, because I
- 46:22Speaker 1: was like, yo, now look because this is the actual stats,
- 46:26Speaker 1: the actual this is what shows you the general public
- 46:29Speaker 1: actual response to the material when I'm not receiving the
- 46:34Speaker 1: accolades connected to it. In television, I started marketing more
- 46:39Speaker 1: over marketing, like I became the Stars Network, so it
- 46:42Speaker 1: was more visibility and make I said, I'm outperforming the
- 46:46Speaker 1: shows that they are given the nod too, so they
- 46:48Speaker 1: see we're doing bigger numbers than those shows. Right, and
- 46:51Speaker 1: then eventually they have to look at the issue is
- 46:55Speaker 1: a tougher issue to work through because what we're working
- 46:57Speaker 1: through is diversity and be like they looking and the
- 47:01Speaker 1: system does have this cookie cutter mentality that feels like
- 47:05Speaker 1: that this is the way you make a hit and
- 47:08Speaker 1: you can put people with different ethnic backgrounds and lead
- 47:12Speaker 1: roles into big numbers. You can tell those stories and
- 47:15Speaker 1: this is what power proves and these other projects. When
- 47:18Speaker 1: you see Empire at Fox and then Snowfall and stuff
- 47:21Speaker 1: like that, whenever you just see people that look like
- 47:23Speaker 1: you and leave Rose, it's showing you that that's there.
- 47:28Speaker 1: They're saying that Fox was saying this is our power
- 47:32Speaker 1: in part the same the other network is saying this
- 47:34Speaker 1: is our and and it's only one at the time
- 47:37Speaker 1: for them. You know what I'm saying. You look look
- 47:39Speaker 1: at how when you see the young talent like little
- 47:45Speaker 1: meach or Michael Rainey or McCoy Curtis for Regent Cannan,
- 47:49Speaker 1: when you see them out in the in the club
- 47:52Speaker 1: run like in the nightclub, you never see actors on
- 47:56Speaker 1: that circuit. You know what I'm saying, Like that was
- 47:58Speaker 1: this is really the first time they're making a connection,
- 48:01Speaker 1: and it's because they're connected not only to having a
- 48:06Speaker 1: hit show, but they're connected to music culture. Yeah, I
- 48:10Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think people will realize what you're
- 48:12Speaker 1: doing at Stars Like I don't think people I don't
- 48:15Speaker 1: pine Pople realize how unprecedented that is, Like how much
- 48:18Speaker 1: programming are you responsible for over there? Like fifty Well yeah,
- 48:21Speaker 1: they would say fifty percent of it, and it's like
- 48:24Speaker 1: probably eighty percent of what the viewership is into. Wow.
- 48:28Speaker 1: At that point, you pull they put supposed to be
- 48:30Speaker 1: an executive up there something. Then they're going if you're
- 48:34Speaker 1: going with the confusion everything that you see me talk
- 48:38Speaker 1: about being upset about, I think you don't see anywhere else,
- 48:41Speaker 1: Like you don't see other networks having the television show leak. Yeah,
- 48:45Speaker 1: you don't see you know what I'm saying, Like when
- 48:47Speaker 1: they talk about a programming for specific demographic, then you go,
- 48:55Speaker 1: uh like there was go a premium woman is the man?
- 48:57Speaker 1: They when you do that, you go, okay, well, I
- 49:00Speaker 1: mean but that ain't what your hits are because Power
- 49:04Speaker 1: wasn't Premium Woman, and all four the spinoffs are not
- 49:09Speaker 1: Premium Woman. So now you're saying you can't have the
- 49:11Speaker 1: hit that you had to beget this drawing people here
- 49:14Speaker 1: because you just created a new man date away from
- 49:18Speaker 1: the success you have, right, and I'm going away, So
- 49:21Speaker 1: it's this, Can you explain that to me a little
- 49:23Speaker 1: further so I understand exactly what it is, because I
- 49:25Speaker 1: could produce what you need. I just got to understand
- 49:27Speaker 1: exactly what it is. Because what does when you see
- 49:31Speaker 1: me in Variety or the Rap or Hollywood Reporter and
- 49:34Speaker 1: stuff like that, that does nothing from my phone goes
- 49:37Speaker 1: further than the Hollywood Reporter and Variety I could just right.
- 49:42Speaker 1: So when when you think about what those things do,
- 49:46Speaker 1: those things speak directly the business inside. It says, if
- 49:51Speaker 1: you have this project and you want to sell it,
- 49:53Speaker 1: you should come to fifties so we can sell it
- 49:55Speaker 1: and I get additional things. But but I can look
- 49:59Speaker 1: at these things if they work for the network. When
- 50:02Speaker 1: you understand the mandate, you know what I'm saying. So
- 50:05Speaker 1: I'm going I can find what you need, if what
- 50:07Speaker 1: you want, and bring it in and produce it for you.
- 50:10Speaker 1: If you don't. If there's a once this clarity, it's clear.
- 50:14Speaker 1: But they're looking and using it for their own identity.
- 50:19Speaker 1: I don't. I hate mandates, especially when you've given a
- 50:22Speaker 1: network four or five shows that work. Create more of
- 50:25Speaker 1: those type of shows. But they take common sense. It
- 50:28Speaker 1: doesn't take it. It doesn't take anybody to come up
- 50:30Speaker 1: with some like Einstein to be involved. It's say, it's
- 50:33Speaker 1: got to go to by the way. Oh yeah, but
- 50:35Speaker 1: if you make a hit, you want more of a hit,
- 50:38Speaker 1: more of that energy, more that that with service, that
- 50:41Speaker 1: base that would keep them coming. And you see the
- 50:43Speaker 1: networkers continues to growing. But in in exchange, I've seen
- 50:47Speaker 1: them do things for vanity, like they'll pay more for
- 50:52Speaker 1: first of all, their premium woman. Man did this premium
- 50:54Speaker 1: white woman because since then, the only thing that they've
- 50:57Speaker 1: created was the uh Julia Roberts gas lit and h
- 51:04Speaker 1: Courtney Cox. I don't even know the name of that
- 51:09Speaker 1: watching pink people worship because it's like it's almost like
- 51:16Speaker 1: a horror comedy. Hard to make me laugh when I'm scared,
- 51:22Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, it's hard to do
- 51:24Speaker 1: both at the same time. So I didn't know what
- 51:26Speaker 1: really was trying to do with that one. But you know,
- 51:29Speaker 1: you better do the right thing, because you know, I
- 51:31Speaker 1: there's no reason to watch stars if program about it's
- 51:36Speaker 1: just a fact. We appreciate you for joining us August
