0:27
Speaker 4: I feel like The Crossroads, which is your new project,
0:30
Speaker 4: I feel like it should be in a lot of
0:32
Speaker 4: rap album of the year categories.
0:33
Speaker 1: I concur Yeah, I agree.
0:35
Speaker 4: Why do you think it's not because all the black
0:37
Speaker 4: people got fired at Atlantic?
0:38
Speaker 5: The team Jesus my goodness. You know what what God
0:43
Speaker 5: has in store for me, no man can get in
0:45
Speaker 5: the way of. And I think post album marketing is
0:50
Speaker 5: just as important, if not more important, than pre album marketing.
0:53
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Like I've had albums.
0:55
Speaker 5: To where they really get their legs, like six months
0:58
Speaker 5: later after it comes out out.
1:00
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
1:00
Speaker 5: You still you got to tour, you gotta. I mean,
1:02
Speaker 5: I's been out a month and I'm doing this with y'all.
1:05
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a bunch of new people who may
1:06
Speaker 5: not have even known I dropped something that see this.
1:09
Speaker 5: So I think post album, post release marketing is just
1:13
Speaker 5: like super important.
1:14
Speaker 1: You know.
1:14
Speaker 4: You know we had a boss man Dilo up here,
1:16
Speaker 4: and he said that he values reaction over sales. Okay,
1:20
Speaker 4: you consider successful this album or any album I would.
1:26
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on how you define reactions.
1:28
Speaker 5: So but I guess how people I don't know because
1:31
Speaker 5: I try not to put like two because I'm an
1:34
Speaker 5: artist and I'm sensitive about my shit, right the quote Erica,
1:37
Speaker 5: So I try not to put too much, like I guess,
1:41
Speaker 5: thought or energy into reaction. But I'll be I'll be
1:46
Speaker 5: a live I said. It don't feel good when people
1:47
Speaker 5: are like, yo, I love this album. And I've been
1:49
Speaker 5: getting a lot of that amongst this album, a lot
1:51
Speaker 5: of people telling me it's my best work.
1:52
Speaker 1: I'm seeing online a bunch of people rock with it.
1:54
Speaker 5: But for me, it's when I'm performing it that validation
1:58
Speaker 5: for me is when I'm performing and people are like
2:00
Speaker 5: reciting the lyrics to me. People are coming to see
2:03
Speaker 5: me when I'm out and about and people are coming
2:05
Speaker 5: up like yo, this line like just really register with me,
2:08
Speaker 5: or like this song really connected with me, you know,
2:10
Speaker 5: me and my family talked about.
2:12
Speaker 1: This, and so that I guess that's the validation.
2:14
Speaker 2: More so that success to you when people know your stuff,
2:17
Speaker 2: listening to your stuff, your core. You don't need a
2:19
Speaker 2: number to make it successful or do you.
2:23
Speaker 5: No, just more so, I think to the point we
2:27
Speaker 5: just made earlier and even the Boss de Law's point,
2:30
Speaker 5: it's just like people liking it, people enjoying it. It does
2:33
Speaker 5: feel good when people enjoy your music. Right As an artist,
2:36
Speaker 5: like you gotta have can I curse?
2:38
Speaker 4: Yeah?
2:38
Speaker 5: Okay, you got to have a sense of like not
2:40
Speaker 5: giving the fuck. You gotta like when you're in there
2:41
Speaker 5: creating and you put it out like yo, you got
2:44
Speaker 5: to think like I don't give a fuck with people,
2:45
Speaker 5: think like truly, that's the only way you're gonna ever
2:47
Speaker 5: put anything out right. But at the same token, it
2:51
Speaker 5: feels really good when people actually do like the work
2:53
Speaker 5: that you're putting out. So that feels good to get
2:56
Speaker 5: such like positive like feedback from real people and fans
3:00
Speaker 5: that's out there that I'm meeting in real life and
3:02
Speaker 5: like fans online. But then also again that that validation
3:05
Speaker 5: for me is when I'm performing it and people are
3:06
Speaker 5: rapping the lyrics back to me coming to see me
3:09
Speaker 5: performing the music.
3:10
Speaker 1: So it is validation comes in the multitude of ways.
3:14
Speaker 6: For Shure, why is it called the Crossroads? You said
3:17
Speaker 6: it's your third time up here, it's also your third album. Yeah,
3:19
Speaker 6: this is the Crossroads? Is that does have something to
3:22
Speaker 6: do with your personal life, how you feel at what
3:24
Speaker 6: point in your life are you right now?
3:26
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh my god, this is.
3:30
Speaker 6: The Crossroads can mean a number of things, sir.
3:33
Speaker 5: But well, I did sample on the intro. But but
3:39
Speaker 5: more so for me, I had to pay homage. If
3:41
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call album the Crossroads, I got to bring
3:43
Speaker 5: some bone thugs in it. But for me, just more so,
3:46
Speaker 5: it's like, when I was making this, the cross Roads
3:50
Speaker 5: represent for me is like not necessarily know where I'm going.
3:54
Speaker 5: And when I was making this album, I kept saying
3:56
Speaker 5: I'm at a crossroads.
3:57
Speaker 1: I'm at a crossroads.
3:58
Speaker 5: I'm at a cross I say it like on like
4:01
Speaker 5: seven different songs before I even knew the title of
4:03
Speaker 5: the project. And so I'm like, well, I keep saying
4:05
Speaker 5: this and music am I at a crossroads?
4:08
Speaker 1: And so like, you know, quarter life Crisis is like
4:11
Speaker 1: a real thing.
4:13
Speaker 4: Quarter life crais, Yeah, you never heard of that?
4:16
Speaker 5: No, you know, I think somebody I forgot who was
4:19
Speaker 5: an artist, made an album called quarter Life Crisis. I
4:22
Speaker 5: can't think of the name of it. I don't think
4:23
Speaker 5: it was like a really big album. But like I
4:25
Speaker 5: looked at it's a thing. It's I don't know if
4:27
Speaker 5: it's a thing, but I've seen it there and it's
4:30
Speaker 5: a thing. Right thirty No, oh my god, I'm twenty seven.
4:34
Speaker 4: Bro, crisis, I said.
4:41
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a fresh.
4:42
Speaker 5: Twenty seven too, But that's a but even at twenty
4:45
Speaker 5: seven club, you know, not to speak that energy.
4:47
Speaker 1: I'm gonna live a long, prosperous life.
4:49
Speaker 5: But yeah, just more so the feeling of unknowing of
4:54
Speaker 5: where I'm going next, you know what I'm saying, And
4:56
Speaker 5: that's an exciting thing, but it's also it's fucking scary, honestly.
4:59
Speaker 5: So that's how I came out with the Crossroad.
5:00
Speaker 4: I don't believe a vision boards and stuff like that,
5:02
Speaker 4: Like I mean, because you know, they always say you
5:04
Speaker 4: can tell God your plans. He might got will laugh
5:07
Speaker 4: at you like you're good playing.
5:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, we plan God laugh.
5:09
Speaker 5: Yeah that's a proverb, but I think it's a Yiddish proverb.
5:14
Speaker 5: But I say all this to say, yeah, I definitely
5:17
Speaker 5: make vision boards.
5:18
Speaker 1: I do, like a planner at.
5:20
Speaker 5: The end of every year, beginning the next year I've
5:23
Speaker 5: been doing. I write in my little notebook while journal
5:26
Speaker 5: a lot, and honestly, yo, I knocked out a bunch
5:28
Speaker 5: of stuff that I wrote down. I did like a
5:30
Speaker 5: thought bubble of goals more so at the end of
5:32
Speaker 5: last year, and I knocked out a bunch of those stuff.
5:35
Speaker 5: Like one of my thought bubbles was like to have
5:37
Speaker 5: a song with with Yay formerly known as Kanye West.
5:40
Speaker 5: That was on my thought bubble. And so yeah, I
5:43
Speaker 5: do vision boards. I write down goals and dreams and stuff.
5:46
Speaker 5: But I haven't done a vision board since twenty eighteen.
5:48
Speaker 5: So I literally thought about that like a couple of
5:50
Speaker 5: days ago. I'm like, not at the end of this year,
5:52
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do another vision board. But I always like
5:53
Speaker 5: write down my goals and stuff for the next year,
5:55
Speaker 5: for sure.
5:56
Speaker 4: But even with that, you don't know where you want
5:58
Speaker 4: to go.
5:58
Speaker 5: Now I do know where I want to go, but
6:00
Speaker 5: it's more like just you can have you can have
6:04
Speaker 5: an idea where you want to go, but where you
6:06
Speaker 5: actually go it is sometimes the difference. Sometimes you write
6:08
Speaker 5: on the money like y'all want to do this, I
6:11
Speaker 5: want to do this this year, this, this and that,
6:14
Speaker 5: and then your path can be like, well I did this,
6:15
Speaker 5: this and that, but actually that wasn't right for me,
6:17
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So God brought me here,
6:20
Speaker 5: but what I've learned is too was like what's meant
6:22
Speaker 5: for you will never miss you, no matter how hard
6:24
Speaker 5: you try to fuck it up. You know what I'm saying,
6:26
Speaker 5: It's never meant for me. Excuse me, what was meant
6:28
Speaker 5: for me will never miss me? You know, how is
6:30
Speaker 5: your life? How is your life changed now that you
6:32
Speaker 5: have a child? Right because it was one years old? Yeah,
6:34
Speaker 5: one and a half and a half, Yes, sir.
6:36
Speaker 3: How is things changed as a young father?
6:38
Speaker 1: Yeah?
6:39
Speaker 5: For me, it's more having a respect for my time,
6:43
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, being more like discipline when
6:45
Speaker 5: it comes to my time, and also having more respect
6:48
Speaker 5: for other people's time. You know, because I'm like, I
6:50
Speaker 5: want people to respect my time because I got kids,
6:52
Speaker 5: I can you know, when I leave the house, it
6:56
Speaker 5: needs to be something important or something that I love
6:59
Speaker 5: to do. Something that's for feeling fulfillment for me is
7:01
Speaker 5: going into the studio enjoying good times with friends.
7:05
Speaker 1: You know, my job is.
7:08
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, this is essentially I want. This
7:11
Speaker 5: doesn't even feel like a job to me though, to
7:13
Speaker 5: be honest, but I say this to.
7:14
Speaker 1: Say, yeah, no exactly, it's a fresh code.
7:17
Speaker 5: But I say all this to say, yeah, when I
7:22
Speaker 5: leave the house, it has to be something important, you know.
7:24
Speaker 5: So it just really has me focused on like time
7:26
Speaker 5: management and versus before, like I'll be you know, as
7:29
Speaker 5: an artist, like you'll be in the studio from like
7:31
Speaker 5: nine pm the six am one day, then the next
7:33
Speaker 5: day it might be like from seven pm to three am,
7:36
Speaker 5: so you're kind of all over the place versus like
7:38
Speaker 5: when since I had a daughter, it's like now I'm
7:40
Speaker 5: in the studio from nine am to six pm six
7:43
Speaker 5: days a week, and then three out of those six
7:45
Speaker 5: days I come back to the studio from like ten
7:48
Speaker 5: pm to four am. So it's more of like a
7:50
Speaker 5: regiment of me like recording and stuff. And I think
7:53
Speaker 5: I'm more productive now because I don't take my time
7:55
Speaker 5: for granted.
7:56
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like work though, Like if you
7:57
Speaker 4: set like work hours nine to six is create activity
8:00
Speaker 4: comes all times a day, all times at night.
8:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I do that. That's why I do
8:04
Speaker 5: three times a day. I do it at night too.
8:06
Speaker 5: But I've noticed all the most successful artists that I've
8:09
Speaker 5: talked with a.
8:10
Speaker 1: Linked with, they work like that.
8:11
Speaker 5: Like for real, he works like from like nine am
8:14
Speaker 5: to like three, like he works at like a nine
8:17
Speaker 5: to five. I've seen somewhere Eminem is in the studio
8:19
Speaker 5: every day nine to five. He takes a lunch break
8:22
Speaker 5: at noon. You know what I'm saying, a bunch of
8:24
Speaker 5: other successful artists. I know they're like on a regimented.
8:28
Speaker 1: Schedule because where I guess motivation.
8:35
Speaker 5: Is low, that's where discipline kicks in or inspiration you know,
8:38
Speaker 5: is low. That's where just like discipline comes in.
8:40
Speaker 1: If. What I've learned too is like every verse that
8:42
Speaker 1: I write is equity.
8:44
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Whether that verse makes the
8:45
Speaker 5: album or not, that verse can be used for Let's
8:48
Speaker 5: say somebody wants me on that song.
8:49
Speaker 1: I can use their verse for that song.
8:51
Speaker 5: I can use that verse for like a movie sync,
8:54
Speaker 5: a video game sync.
8:55
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
8:56
Speaker 5: And so me, I really it doesn't feel like work
8:58
Speaker 5: to me above all else because like I love doing this,
9:00
Speaker 5: like I love like being an aduljo if you would,
9:04
Speaker 5: you know, And I switch up the times and locations
9:06
Speaker 5: to where I cook at, like I might like rent
9:08
Speaker 5: out of Airbnb for like two months, bring all my
9:11
Speaker 5: studio equipment there, and we just creating out of there.
9:13
Speaker 5: I might, you know, I find creative ways to get creative.
9:18
Speaker 4: I saw one of those crazy YouTube videos and it
9:21
Speaker 4: said though, it said why core Day's career hit a crossroad,
9:25
Speaker 4: album flops horrendously. Yeah, do you feel your You just
9:29
Speaker 4: said that you feel you at a crossroads, But do
9:31
Speaker 4: you feel like your album floped?
9:33
Speaker 5: No, because like probability of that. It's like some white
9:36
Speaker 5: boy in Indiana. Not that it's a race thing, but
9:39
Speaker 5: it's like the truth of the people that run thos
9:41
Speaker 5: And like if you look at channels like that, their
9:43
Speaker 5: whole channel subscribes to a bunch.
9:46
Speaker 1: Of negativity, Like that's like what they're about. So you
9:49
Speaker 1: can nitpick every artist in music.
9:52
Speaker 5: You could find something negative and nitpick at where like
9:56
Speaker 5: they lack of.
9:57
Speaker 1: Where they lack in some department, you know what I'm saying.
10:00
Speaker 5: But no, because like I had other albums that didn't
10:02
Speaker 5: have like a strong first week, but again my tour
10:05
Speaker 5: end up doing super well, and then later on it
10:08
Speaker 5: grows and becomes like a larger thing, Like why I
10:11
Speaker 5: spend all this time focusing on one week one week?
10:14
Speaker 5: We're gonna spend all this time focusing on one week
10:17
Speaker 5: when there is fifty two weeks out of the year,
10:19
Speaker 5: Like you're gonna just give up on an album because
10:21
Speaker 5: like it didn't have a super strong first week, you
10:23
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.
10:24
Speaker 1: Excuse me what I'm saying.
10:25
Speaker 5: And I think I get compared to like megastars like
10:31
Speaker 5: my first Like if you compare like a Cord first
10:33
Speaker 5: week sales to like a Kendrick Lamar first week sales,
10:36
Speaker 5: of like, of course there's a discrepancy, But when it
10:38
Speaker 5: comes to like my actual peers that do the type
10:41
Speaker 5: of music that I do, this like it's all like
10:44
Speaker 5: a balance. It's there, We're all doing the same comparative numbers.
10:47
Speaker 5: You know, even though comparison is a thief for joy.
10:50
Speaker 5: But just that's a whole nother perspective. But yeah, no
10:53
Speaker 5: I don't.
10:54
Speaker 1: I have no worry about what some white man says
10:56
Speaker 1: about my career.
10:56
Speaker 2: What's your relationship with Wayne? I see Wayne on a
10:58
Speaker 2: project a couple of times.
11:00
Speaker 5: Oh, Wayne is the one I've gone. I've gained so
11:05
Speaker 5: many gems from Wayne, like honestly, like when it comes
11:08
Speaker 5: to creativity, when it comes to creating music, when it
11:12
Speaker 5: comes to like, he gave me some gems to like
11:16
Speaker 5: you have to treat every single song like it's people's
11:21
Speaker 5: first time hearing you, and it sounds so simple, but
11:24
Speaker 5: it like lit a fire under my brain of like
11:27
Speaker 5: nah Son like that is Yo, It's so simple, but
11:30
Speaker 5: it says so much of like what happens is I've
11:32
Speaker 5: been blessed. I have like a core audience and the
11:34
Speaker 5: core fans that like rocks with me no matter what
11:35
Speaker 5: I put out. But that can also become a hindrance
11:38
Speaker 5: because you in the studio, you're like, Yo, my fans
11:40
Speaker 5: gonna love this regardless, like no matter what I do,
11:42
Speaker 5: versus you taking that approach of like I gotta make
11:44
Speaker 5: a first impression on people. I gotta treat every song
11:47
Speaker 5: like it's people's first time hearing it. It makes you
11:51
Speaker 5: like really like want to give it your all, if
11:55
Speaker 5: that makes sense, and want to make sure like, yo,
11:57
Speaker 5: is this worth to hearing? You want to make a
11:58
Speaker 5: good first impression and the fan and that way, the
12:01
Speaker 5: fans that you already have, they're gonna be like, oh
12:02
Speaker 5: my god, this is the greatest thing in the world.
12:04
Speaker 5: And for somebody who's like fifty to fifty on you
12:06
Speaker 5: who made by Okay, I heard a song, I heard
12:08
Speaker 5: a freestyle. I don't know, like that here a song
12:11
Speaker 5: then or album then they're like, oh nah, like they legit,
12:13
Speaker 5: you know.
12:14
Speaker 1: So I think that was a huge thing I learned
12:17
Speaker 1: from Wayne.
12:18
Speaker 5: And also like that work ethic just by this what
12:20
Speaker 5: he teaches by doing, you know what I'm saying. Like
12:23
Speaker 5: his I've been able to be blessed to watch him
12:25
Speaker 5: up close and his work ethic is like incredible, and
12:28
Speaker 5: his love for music it just never goes anywhere. And
12:30
Speaker 5: you understand why he sold like three hundred million records
12:33
Speaker 5: and ben he's like hip hop's Michael Jackson, if you would,
12:38
Speaker 5: because if you think about it, there's not that many
12:40
Speaker 5: people that were like child stars that went on to
12:43
Speaker 5: become superstars and more successful as they get older.
12:47
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
12:50
Speaker 4: Have you ever told you why he likes to collaborate
12:51
Speaker 4: with you?
12:54
Speaker 1: No, I don't ask. I didn't know. I got it.
12:57
Speaker 1: Yeah nah, nah, I don't ask.
12:59
Speaker 5: But I mean he definitely like give me my props
13:02
Speaker 5: and my loves and just like yeah you want he
13:04
Speaker 5: I mean, he says I'm a killer.
13:05
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He's like, now, you're a killer?
13:07
Speaker 1: Like why?
13:08
Speaker 5: Like you scary? You know what I'm saying. So he's like, Yo,
13:10
Speaker 5: you're a killer. You scary. So I would assume that's
13:12
Speaker 5: why the vote together one joint. We got one on
13:17
Speaker 5: like unreleased joint. Yeah, but it's some. Yeah that that
13:20
Speaker 5: mentorship and that guidance is like, uh, you can't put
13:24
Speaker 5: a price tag.
13:27
Speaker 4: You whispered that.
13:28
Speaker 1: I guess how y'all wisper me?
13:31
Speaker 3: That's what you wanted to hear.
13:32
Speaker 1: I didn't say like that.
13:32
Speaker 3: I said, how did y'all meet?
13:33
Speaker 1: Actually he had a good job. Yeah, no, it's all good.
13:37
Speaker 1: I didn't. Yeah, yeah, it's not my first.
13:44
Speaker 5: We said what I was finna say, how we meet?
13:50
Speaker 1: I did a.
13:52
Speaker 5: Uh interview with he had a young Money not had
13:54
Speaker 5: he has a Young Money radio music.
13:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we started with that.
13:59
Speaker 5: Then I got his number, he shot me his number
14:00
Speaker 5: through there and it's just been like back and forth
14:02
Speaker 5: since then.
14:02
Speaker 1: You know.
14:03
Speaker 4: I think we got to stop saying things like the
14:04
Speaker 4: hip hop Michael Jackson though, yeah, only because Wayne is
14:08
Speaker 4: Wayne and he's an all time great. I think sometimes
14:11
Speaker 4: when we make those comparisons it puts unrealistic expectations because
14:14
Speaker 4: I don't think people realize how big Michael Jackson. Well,
14:17
Speaker 4: I think y'all generation says that shit, yeah, but y'all
14:19
Speaker 4: really don't realize how big Michael Jackson. I mean, we
14:22
Speaker 4: sold one hundred million records off one album.
14:24
Speaker 7: They had to be there and yeah, you know what
14:28
Speaker 7: I mean, to sell one hundred million records off one
14:30
Speaker 7: album when people had to get up and go to
14:32
Speaker 7: the store.
14:32
Speaker 5: That's also a different thing going back to our earlier
14:37
Speaker 5: points were like how albums are consumed, because when Michael
14:39
Speaker 5: Jackson sold a hundred million records one hundred million people
14:43
Speaker 5: or thirty million people three times like people you had
14:46
Speaker 5: to actually leave your house and go to the store
14:48
Speaker 5: to buy an album, versus now like like the Spotify,
14:52
Speaker 5: Apple Music streaming equivalents. You gotta stream a song has
14:56
Speaker 5: to stream fifteen hundred times to count is like one
15:00
Speaker 5: angular unit to where you can have like five hundred
15:02
Speaker 5: thousand people all streaming your music once and it equates
15:06
Speaker 5: to like I can't do the math on the top
15:07
Speaker 5: of my head, but like not like a high number.
15:10
Speaker 5: So I say, going back to the original point of Dwayne,
15:13
Speaker 5: you know what I find, comparison is the easiest way
15:16
Speaker 5: to describe something, you know what I'm saying, Like, comparison
15:19
Speaker 5: is like the easiest way to describe something.
15:21
Speaker 1: So just my more so point was like.
15:25
Speaker 4: It's like a mouthstar being growing to now yeah.
15:28
Speaker 5: And being even more successful and better as an adult,
15:31
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
15:31
Speaker 1: So that was the whole point.
15:32
Speaker 5: But yeah, no, Michael, I'm I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan,
15:36
Speaker 5: but I was born in ninety seven, you know what
15:37
Speaker 5: I'm saying. So that was like what his story? Oh yeah,
15:43
Speaker 5: like you know what I'm saying. So yeah, yeah, like Invincible.
15:45
Speaker 5: I was there for Invincible. That was so I love
15:48
Speaker 5: I love Invincible. By the way, that album he got
15:50
Speaker 5: the floor tree joint on there the Butterflies, So.
15:54
Speaker 2: What do you think about streaming because I see you
15:55
Speaker 2: broke it down, So you really thought about streaming, right, Yeah,
15:58
Speaker 2: like you think about it? If I stream your full yeah,
16:01
Speaker 2: and I only stream you once, that doesn't count as
16:02
Speaker 2: a sale.
16:03
Speaker 1: No, wild, you have to stream at fifteen hundred times.
16:06
Speaker 1: The count is once, is wild?
16:08
Speaker 3: So what's your thoughts on the streaming process?
16:10
Speaker 2: And have And I know you signed, but would you
16:12
Speaker 2: ever say, you know what, I'm gonna go direct to consume?
16:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
16:16
Speaker 5: And you know what, it's a bunch of like I
16:18
Speaker 5: always have these because I love music, I love hip hop.
16:21
Speaker 5: I'm always having like not always, but I have these talks,
16:23
Speaker 5: like amongst my friends of like the difference or like
16:26
Speaker 5: even amongst other artists friends of like the pros and
16:28
Speaker 5: cons of being an artist today versus like, let's say
16:31
Speaker 5: the nineties, right, Like in the nineties, even early two thousands,
16:34
Speaker 5: they made a lot more money off like actual act
16:37
Speaker 5: off of music, off the actual music because it was
16:40
Speaker 5: physical sales, you know what I'm saying. So where like again,
16:43
Speaker 5: when you sold one million records, I mean one million
16:46
Speaker 5: people bought it and it was let's say ten dollars
16:48
Speaker 5: a copy to where like, yo, you're actually making so
16:51
Speaker 5: my bad to going to tend and so back in
16:52
Speaker 5: the nineties two thousands, right, they made more money off
16:55
Speaker 5: the actual music, off music sales, publishing, et cetera. But
17:00
Speaker 5: they weren't making as much on ancillaries like touring, merch,
17:05
Speaker 5: brand endorsements. So today we had like I was in
17:09
Speaker 5: a Coca Cola Super Bowl commercial as Corde. And I
17:12
Speaker 5: say that to say, like I am, like in the
17:14
Speaker 5: eighties nineties you had to be like the like Michael
17:17
Speaker 5: Jackson was in like a Coca or Pepsi yeah, super
17:20
Speaker 5: Bowl commercial or like you know commercial whatever. Right, So
17:23
Speaker 5: I say this to say, back in the nineties, they
17:26
Speaker 5: didn't have too many like ancillary opportunities and they weren't
17:29
Speaker 5: making as much money on shows and stuff like that.
17:32
Speaker 1: Today we make more money off.
17:33
Speaker 5: Shows, festivals, brands, et cetera. But it doesn't make as
17:37
Speaker 5: much on the actual music because the way music is
17:40
Speaker 5: scaled is like kind of crazy. I don't know, I
17:43
Speaker 5: just don't know. I'm not going to act like an
17:44
Speaker 5: expert on it. It's just like super complicated. But pros
17:49
Speaker 5: and cons are both. You know, it might even out
17:52
Speaker 5: and balance out, you know, but it's just different now.
17:56
Speaker 6: In the song O six Dreaming, you talk about your
17:59
Speaker 6: mom and herr musical dreams and how she tried out
18:01
Speaker 6: for making a band and American idol, and you sampled
18:05
Speaker 6: one of her old songs.
18:05
Speaker 1: How she feel about that when she heard it? Oh,
18:08
Speaker 1: she liked it. She liked it a lot.
18:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, she definitely liked it because it's just like a
18:12
Speaker 5: That's one of my favorite songs because it's obviously it's
18:15
Speaker 5: close to home, but it's like a story of irony,
18:17
Speaker 5: of just like and also a story of how like
18:21
Speaker 5: you can love something so.
18:22
Speaker 1: Much that it gets past town to your kids, whether
18:25
Speaker 1: you like it or whether you.
18:26
Speaker 5: Know you have an influence on that like outwardly or not,
18:30
Speaker 5: you know. And so I love I love it again
18:33
Speaker 5: because it's a close to home. It's the story of
18:35
Speaker 5: irony and it's just hip hop, like yo, I sampled
18:37
Speaker 5: one of my mom's old songs and telling the story.
18:40
Speaker 5: I mean, she definitely got her pub and points when
18:43
Speaker 5: she ain't charged me. I made sure you know, she
18:44
Speaker 5: eatn't off that, you know what I'm saying, So she
18:47
Speaker 5: got adjust do for show.
18:48
Speaker 1: So I say all this to say, yeah, nah, thank you.
18:52
Speaker 1: I rock with that song.
18:53
Speaker 6: A lot, and you're kind of glad she ain't make
18:54
Speaker 6: the band.
18:56
Speaker 1: I know.
18:58
Speaker 4: That. On the record you said, I can't remember what
19:00
Speaker 4: the line was, but you said, you basically said, you
19:03
Speaker 4: think Puff is a victim of his own carma. He
19:05
Speaker 4: made him run six miles and your mom didn't make
19:09
Speaker 4: the band. So do you really do you think that?
19:11
Speaker 4: Do you think is a victim of his own time?
19:12
Speaker 4: So you said, look at Puff.
19:13
Speaker 5: Now, that's one way that it can be interpreted. It
19:17
Speaker 5: can be interpreted in a bunch of different ways, you know.
19:19
Speaker 5: It just depends on like what lens or what are
19:22
Speaker 5: you're listening to it?
19:23
Speaker 4: But so what do you mean by the bar?
19:26
Speaker 1: You know what?
19:27
Speaker 5: To be honest, like that bar was something I was
19:29
Speaker 5: so like hesitant on saying because like above all else,
19:34
Speaker 5: not even above all else, like above all else, I'm
19:36
Speaker 5: a human being, right, but being a human being, I'm
19:39
Speaker 5: I'm super pro black and like publicly, I don't ever
19:42
Speaker 5: want to speak bad about another black man, but damn,
19:44
Speaker 5: this nigga's making it hard, you know what I'm saying,
19:47
Speaker 5: Like honestly, like paulse oh my god, super Paul crazy yo, Mike.
19:54
Speaker 1: Hard Yo, you know what I meant by that we
20:01
Speaker 1: ain't fin to do this, We ain't find to do this.
20:04
Speaker 1: The pause, the pauses that you have, that's fact. He
20:08
Speaker 1: got some pauses.
20:09
Speaker 5: So I say this to say, go back to my man,
20:12
Speaker 5: Let's leave this ship alone.
20:13
Speaker 1: Man, answer to this ship. I tried to motherfucking juke
20:18
Speaker 1: around this ship. You know.
20:19
Speaker 5: But but yeah, to my point, like I don't ever
20:22
Speaker 5: want to publicly speak down on another black man, but
20:25
Speaker 5: like you know, like, fuck, you got a.
20:29
Speaker 4: Song on the album with Kanye. You're talking about it earlier.
20:31
Speaker 4: It's called a no Bad Juice. Why would you do that?
20:34
Speaker 1: No bad Juice?
20:35
Speaker 5: Yo, You're crazy man, nobody, Yo, you're crazy. It's called
20:39
Speaker 5: no bad News news.
20:41
Speaker 4: Yes, you're right, Yeah, it's.
20:42
Speaker 1: Called no bad News.
20:43
Speaker 4: I know he's on your mouth Rushmore.
20:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean bro Bucket.
20:49
Speaker 5: Yo, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
20:57
Speaker 1: I mean that's definitely a dream come true. Buckets.
21:00
Speaker 5: You learned from that session, I mean, yo, yeah, he's
21:03
Speaker 5: one of the goats. Like he I had a different
21:06
Speaker 5: hook for that song, and he sent over notes and
21:08
Speaker 5: like instead of saying this, you know, say this, yeah,
21:12
Speaker 5: so let me finish.
21:13
Speaker 1: Okay, bad my bad that came up. You've been You've
21:16
Speaker 1: been told me like I know, I know, I know
21:20
Speaker 1: you just do you called it no bad news.
21:22
Speaker 4: He wanted to call it something else.
21:23
Speaker 1: No, no that's not the title. There's no back and
21:27
Speaker 1: forth over the title.
21:30
Speaker 5: But yeah, basically like yo, this, I mean, point blank
21:32
Speaker 5: Perioder's a genius, creative genius at the highest level. What
21:35
Speaker 5: can I say about him creatively that he doesn't already
21:39
Speaker 5: know and that we as the world doesn't already know,
21:42
Speaker 5: but definitely a bucket list to work with him, for sure?
21:45
Speaker 4: What kind of space is he in right now?
21:47
Speaker 5: I I can't speak for another man, you know what
21:50
Speaker 5: I'm saying. But in the studio no, no, no, we weren't
21:52
Speaker 5: all together.
21:53
Speaker 1: It was all remote. So I don't want to, you know,
21:55
Speaker 1: speak for another man.
21:57
Speaker 4: I love the record of All Alone, Thank you. What
22:00
Speaker 4: do you think could fill that void of loneliness for you?
22:04
Speaker 1: I don't know.
22:05
Speaker 5: Because it's funny about that song too, because I actually
22:11
Speaker 5: had sampled like it was just like Korean jazz artists
22:17
Speaker 5: who did a cover of that song, but like the
22:19
Speaker 5: person who owns the master like hates that person. And
22:22
Speaker 5: so we went back, went back and I found like
22:24
Speaker 5: the Luther sample, which is.
22:26
Speaker 1: Like super dope too that he cleared that Luther. Don't
22:29
Speaker 1: let you curse on this shit. Eva.
22:30
Speaker 5: That's a whole nother story. But yeah, so I guess
22:34
Speaker 5: what fills that void My family, you know what I'm saying.
22:38
Speaker 5: First and foremost, I could have went straight to that,
22:40
Speaker 5: but being around my family definitely, like you know, helps that.
22:44
Speaker 5: Enjoying life experiences with my family helps fill that void,
22:48
Speaker 5: because I mean, being a generational curse breaker is it's
22:51
Speaker 5: a lonely road, you know what I'm saying, It's not
22:53
Speaker 5: for the week. Being famous or an artist with a platform,
22:59
Speaker 5: that that shit is not for the week, Like you said,
23:01
Speaker 5: you know earlier, like somebody's always going to have something
23:04
Speaker 5: to say, no matter what, people always going to have
23:06
Speaker 5: especially in the zeitgeist of this earth. Is like negativity
23:09
Speaker 5: is just like it connects the most, you know what
23:12
Speaker 5: I'm saying. Unfortunately, and so yeah, so at times, you
23:16
Speaker 5: know you can for the long but for me, filling
23:18
Speaker 5: that void is like you know, being around family, being
23:20
Speaker 5: around my daughter and enjoying life and making memories with
23:23
Speaker 5: them and building my own tribe of like community, you
23:26
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Because I feel like in hip
23:28
Speaker 5: hop and Black people in general. Not to speak for
23:31
Speaker 5: the general consensus, but there needs to be a lot
23:34
Speaker 5: less competition in a lot more community. I can speak
23:37
Speaker 5: on that for hip hop for sure, Like I love
23:39
Speaker 5: the competitiveness.
23:40
Speaker 1: When we going at it, you know, when everybody going
23:42
Speaker 1: at it with the bars.
23:43
Speaker 5: Because that's that's the genesis of hip hop, that's the
23:46
Speaker 5: heart of hip hop. But as far as just like
23:50
Speaker 5: you know, sharing knowledge, sharing information, resources, connecting, I feel
23:53
Speaker 5: like there needs to be a greater sense of community,
23:57
Speaker 5: you know.
23:57
Speaker 4: So I wonder about that often sometimes I think it's
24:01
Speaker 4: it's too many of us to ever have or a
24:04
Speaker 4: sense of community. Like you'll find your tribe, and amongst
24:07
Speaker 4: your tribe, you'll have community. But black people aren't monolithic.
24:10
Speaker 4: You're talking about forty plus million people.
24:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
24:13
Speaker 4: If you can never have community amongst forty plus million.
24:16
Speaker 1: People, what does monolithic mean?
24:18
Speaker 4: Means that all of us aren't to say, Okay, yeah,
24:20
Speaker 4: I thought so.
24:21
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure, but yeah, I mean,
24:24
Speaker 5: and that's the beauty about being black. Like I think
24:27
Speaker 5: you ever heard of like our DC. They're like the comedian,
24:30
Speaker 5: They're like a group of comedians and shite and shit.
24:34
Speaker 1: But they have this thing called like they have this
24:38
Speaker 1: con that they have.
24:39
Speaker 5: And it's like a festival if you would, in Austin, Texas,
24:42
Speaker 5: and it's basically like a safe place.
24:44
Speaker 1: For like black nerds that love anime.
24:48
Speaker 5: But it's like, yo, like that's you wouldn't think if
24:50
Speaker 5: you're just like not wouldn't think. But I'm just like, yo,
24:53
Speaker 5: the fact that you found like your niche audience and
24:55
Speaker 5: made a safe space because it's like thirty thousand people
24:58
Speaker 5: there and it's all people that love like anime and
25:00
Speaker 5: shit like that. And so just going back to the
25:04
Speaker 5: point of just like, you know, community, I don't know.
25:07
Speaker 1: I think community is important to find it. You don't have.
25:10
Speaker 5: You're never gonna find one person that agrees with you
25:12
Speaker 5: on one hundred percent of everything or one person that
25:16
Speaker 5: likes one hundred percent of everything that you like.
25:18
Speaker 1: But finding a community of just.
25:20
Speaker 5: Good people that look like you or don't look like you,
25:23
Speaker 5: but have the same morals, values and on the same wavelength,
25:27
Speaker 5: you know, I think that's super important of just finding
25:29
Speaker 5: creating a community of like minded individuals. And I think
25:32
Speaker 5: in hip hop specifically, like I guess lyricism or substance
25:38
Speaker 5: driven artists like that. I can sense that's something that
25:42
Speaker 5: needs to be like builded upon, you know.
25:45
Speaker 6: So yeah, I did have a question a long time ago.
25:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that.
25:49
Speaker 6: You you said you like to you know, be with
25:51
Speaker 6: your your baby, girl, your daughter.
25:53
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:53
Speaker 6: How are you in, Naomi though?
25:54
Speaker 1: Are we good?
25:55
Speaker 6: I've just seen a date night, like a couple of
25:57
Speaker 6: nights ago at Jamie Fox y'all, was there something?
26:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ye're not we good man?
26:03
Speaker 6: I know, because y'all don't post each other so much.
26:06
Speaker 6: People even speculate about that maybe they broke up or
26:08
Speaker 6: anything that speaks to what you were talking about about
26:10
Speaker 6: just everything connecting negatively.
26:13
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure, me honestly, Like I am a super
26:16
Speaker 5: private person. I am like I try my best as
26:19
Speaker 5: much as I can be, Like when it comes to
26:21
Speaker 5: my personal life to be super private, like as much
26:24
Speaker 5: as I can be, because some stuff you got to
26:26
Speaker 5: keep for yourself. And when you allow like outside opinion,
26:29
Speaker 5: when you let and outside opinions can be family members,
26:32
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, And that can get in
26:34
Speaker 5: the way of stuff that's important to you.
26:36
Speaker 1: So, Matt, when you add the world.
26:38
Speaker 5: To that, that that's a whole nother thing, and so
26:41
Speaker 5: I try to be as private while speaking on it now.
26:43
Speaker 5: But I try to be as private as I possibly
26:46
Speaker 5: can about like my personal life, like you know, even
26:48
Speaker 5: with my daughter and you know, my relationship and stuff.
26:51
Speaker 5: Do you feel like do you still talk to the
26:54
Speaker 5: YBN group I talked to Almighty Ja, I don't really
26:56
Speaker 5: talk to not Mare like that.
26:57
Speaker 1: To be honest, I don't know, Like I it's for me.
27:03
Speaker 5: There's no matter what nahmeyor got to say about me publicly,
27:07
Speaker 5: there's always a level of respect and appreciation that I
27:11
Speaker 5: have for now Mir that like nobody can ever get
27:13
Speaker 5: me to like talk bad about now Mir. You know
27:15
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, because like Yo, that dude threw me
27:17
Speaker 5: to OOP and I called it and dunked it. He
27:19
Speaker 5: she shined that light on me. And I'm like, I'm
27:21
Speaker 5: not even saying this to be like politically correct. It's
27:23
Speaker 5: just a God's on the truth. I'm super grateful for him,
27:26
Speaker 5: Like he changed my life, you know what I'm saying,
27:27
Speaker 5: for lack of a better word, And so like I said,
27:29
Speaker 5: he shined that light on me. You know what I'm
27:31
Speaker 5: saying through me to Oop, You know I called it
27:33
Speaker 5: win milled it, and I got so much love for him,
27:36
Speaker 5: Like I talked now mere mom more than I talk
27:38
Speaker 5: than I'm merry, you know what I'm saying Like that
27:39
Speaker 5: that's how that is.
27:40
Speaker 1: So Yeah, I wasna as y'all ever talk.
27:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, like it'll be like random like birthdays
27:47
Speaker 5: and you know stuff like the distant relative is like
27:51
Speaker 5: the best comparison for communication.
27:54
Speaker 1: Like I remember when I did Coachella like two years ago.
27:56
Speaker 5: I wanted to bring him out for that cause I'm like, yo,
27:58
Speaker 5: that'd be crazy just on some stuff. But he ain't
28:00
Speaker 5: want to do it for whatever reason. I'm saying it
28:02
Speaker 5: was like any bad blood. But yeah, nah, like I
28:06
Speaker 5: said when I'm mayor bro, like, I got so much
28:08
Speaker 5: like love and appreciation for him that again, even if
28:12
Speaker 5: it ain't the same way, it's nothing that he can
28:15
Speaker 5: say to ever make me forget like all the love
28:17
Speaker 5: that he has shown me. You know, I was asking,
28:19
Speaker 5: how do.
28:20
Speaker 3: You deal with social media? Are you on social media?
28:22
Speaker 2: Because between your girl yourself, if she has a bad game,
28:26
Speaker 2: they blame it on you. Yeah, if you have a
28:28
Speaker 2: bad album, they blame it on hers. So it's like,
28:29
Speaker 2: how do you deal with that as far as mentally
28:32
Speaker 2: and even in your relationship.
28:33
Speaker 5: Well, it comes down to, like I'm truly like I
28:36
Speaker 5: don't give a fuck bro what people think because people
28:39
Speaker 5: I've learned too that internet isn't a real place. Like
28:43
Speaker 5: it has influence, right, it does have influence, but it's
28:48
Speaker 5: not a real place, and people are always going to
28:50
Speaker 5: say something.
28:51
Speaker 1: People nitpick anything apart.
28:54
Speaker 5: Like literally, people always find something negative and the most
28:57
Speaker 5: positive stuff. Charlemagne, you can do a toy drive and
29:01
Speaker 5: give away one hundred thousand dollars worth of gifts, and
29:05
Speaker 5: if you got a camera man there, nigga's gone be like, oh,
29:07
Speaker 5: you just did it for the camera, and let's just
29:10
Speaker 5: say you did you you overlook the positive part of like, Yo,
29:14
Speaker 5: this nigga just gave away a hundred thousand dollars worth
29:16
Speaker 5: of gifts, you know what I'm saying.
29:18
Speaker 1: And so people always gonna have something to say.
29:20
Speaker 5: And the sooner you realize that, it's like, bro, y'all
29:23
Speaker 5: can all suck my dick, you know what I'm saying.
29:25
Speaker 1: Pause, you know what I'm saying.
29:27
Speaker 4: Nobody ever brings that up for the negative stuff, right,
29:29
Speaker 4: Like somebody can just be online flossing, have the money,
29:32
Speaker 4: phone to the ear, doing it for the camera. But
29:34
Speaker 4: nobody ever says you just doing that for the camera.
29:37
Speaker 4: But anything positive you're just doing for the camera. It
29:39
Speaker 4: makes no sense.
29:39
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I totally agree with that. Yeah no, it's
29:42
Speaker 1: all I mean, the world not a state. It doesn't
29:45
Speaker 1: it with me.
29:47
Speaker 2: Again, has to be for your girl because it's like
29:50
Speaker 2: they attack everything and it's like.
29:52
Speaker 3: Damn, leave it alone.
29:54
Speaker 1: Yeah for me, Like I can't speak what like she feels.
29:58
Speaker 5: I ain't gonna speak for her, but I'll be the
30:00
Speaker 5: worst pr person forever. But I say all this to say,
30:05
Speaker 5: like for me, Like again, I am an artist and
30:07
Speaker 5: I'm sensitive about my shit. And with this album, like yo,
30:10
Speaker 5: it's been like people been fucking loving the album, you
30:12
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Like it's been across the board,
30:15
Speaker 5: Like yo, I really fuck with this album. It really
30:17
Speaker 5: connects with me. But I'm at a place now to
30:20
Speaker 5: where you don't create. I was I was doing a
30:22
Speaker 5: stream what I'm Dante this kid, I'm Dante Black streamer,
30:26
Speaker 5: super dope, super funny, and like I was telling him,
30:29
Speaker 5: like bro, like even with these streamers and not to
30:32
Speaker 5: say like I'm all knowing and shit, we figuring this
30:35
Speaker 5: shit out day by day, but it's like day their
30:37
Speaker 5: next move is based on what the fucking chat is saying.
30:41
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. They're like, they're what they say.
30:44
Speaker 5: Their whole mood is based on what the chat is saying.
30:46
Speaker 5: I'm like, I get it, that's your job, but like,
30:48
Speaker 5: you can't live like that.
30:50
Speaker 4: Not just the streamers though in general. Nah, they look
30:54
Speaker 4: at them comments and YouTube pages and it will influence
30:57
Speaker 4: every single thing they do. I think the most power
30:59
Speaker 4: that you can get yourself in this era is to
31:02
Speaker 4: disconnect from all of that and have an opinion or
31:04
Speaker 4: create art and not even worry about what anybody on
31:07
Speaker 4: social media is gonna say.
31:08
Speaker 5: Nah, because they're always going to say something. It's always
31:11
Speaker 5: going to be negative. And so what I've learned is,
31:13
Speaker 5: let's say, even back to an album, like if people,
31:16
Speaker 5: I've learned to like not give a fuck because let's
31:18
Speaker 5: say every everybody loves this out like, like again, it's
31:22
Speaker 5: been like really positive feedback on this album with nah,
31:25
Speaker 5: thank you appreciate it. But let's say you drop an
31:28
Speaker 5: album and everybody's like, this is the greatest shit ever.
31:31
Speaker 5: This is a classic you can let that get to
31:33
Speaker 5: your head and create an ego of like, oh I
31:35
Speaker 5: am as great as they say I am. Then your
31:39
Speaker 5: next album people might not love it and they're like, oh,
31:42
Speaker 5: this is shit, and it can it can fuck with
31:46
Speaker 5: your confidence, like damn, maybe I am shit like they
31:49
Speaker 5: say I am.
31:50
Speaker 1: And so when you know.
31:51
Speaker 5: Who you are, nobody can tell you who you are
31:53
Speaker 5: from my experience, And so that's why it comes down to, like,
31:56
Speaker 5: I don't give a fuck what people think, whether it's
31:58
Speaker 5: great or bad, you know what I'm saying, And like, yo,
32:01
Speaker 5: like I can sleep well at night, you know what
32:03
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I know I put a bunch of work
32:05
Speaker 5: in in the music, and I can live with that,
32:09
Speaker 5: you know, no matter what the outcome is. Now it
32:11
Speaker 5: gets tricky when like, if you be honest with yourself,
32:13
Speaker 5: you're like, damn, I could have put more time and
32:15
Speaker 5: effort into this. I could have put more thought and
32:17
Speaker 5: energy into this, And then people don't like it, and
32:19
Speaker 5: then it's like.
32:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, damn, the niggas might be saying some shit, you
32:23
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
32:24
Speaker 5: But if you like truly put you all into it,
32:26
Speaker 5: your heart into it, and like people are like yo,
32:27
Speaker 5: this ship.
32:28
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, yo, fuck, I'm like sucker dick.
32:30
Speaker 1: I'll try next time, you.
32:31
Speaker 4: Know, I'll try it next time. Goddamn.
32:34
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Oh my god, I have.
32:38
Speaker 5: By the way, I've been hanging with my little brother
32:40
Speaker 5: and them. They some young niggas, they like twenty and
32:43
Speaker 5: so my pause radar has been like through the roof,
32:47
Speaker 5: meaning like I pick up the paw. I mean, I'll
32:50
Speaker 5: usually pause myself first, and others pause. No, no, ain't not,
32:57
Speaker 5: Ain't nothing homosexual about nothing on this.
33:00
Speaker 1: If that's somebody's prerogative, that's all them.
33:02
Speaker 5: But AnyWho, what would you finish it is? Hey, you
33:10
Speaker 5: love your truth, brother, this is a safe place, and
33:14
Speaker 5: we have we gotta find out an abundance of love
33:17
Speaker 5: and joy for you no matter.
33:18
Speaker 1: You know what you like to do in your free time.
33:20
Speaker 4: When you write because of the mother of your child, Yeah,
33:23
Speaker 4: question your lyrics for example, like when I hear prays
33:26
Speaker 4: pray about Nailmi.
33:29
Speaker 5: I try to make my music as from my heart
33:34
Speaker 5: and relatable as possible. And also I answer that with
33:39
Speaker 5: I just let the music speak for itself.
33:42
Speaker 4: A lot of insecurity you're showing on that record.
33:44
Speaker 5: I just I let the because I'm so and also
33:46
Speaker 5: too because I'm so vulnerable in my music. That's why
33:50
Speaker 5: I don't do too many interviews liked, Like I said, you.
33:53
Speaker 1: Know this is my like third time on here.
33:55
Speaker 5: You know, we have a report now to where I
33:57
Speaker 5: can't come with y'all with it. Who I can, but like,
34:00
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna come with y'all. Not to say there's
34:01
Speaker 5: anything wrong with people that do this, but I'm not
34:03
Speaker 5: gonna come with y'all with a list of like shit
34:05
Speaker 5: to not talk about, you know what I'm saying.
34:07
Speaker 1: So I say all this when you got.
34:08
Speaker 4: A boar that says you're never gonna be in interviews
34:10
Speaker 4: and not be authentic.
34:11
Speaker 1: That is true, that's a bar.
34:14
Speaker 5: But so I say this to say because I am
34:18
Speaker 5: to be authentic, right, because I am so vulnerable and
34:20
Speaker 5: personal in my music.
34:22
Speaker 1: It's some stuff I'd rather not go into detail.
34:24
Speaker 5: And over explain it, you know, because it kind of
34:26
Speaker 5: is like a magician revealing the magic, you know, the trick.
34:30
Speaker 4: So, yeah, do you feel like sometimes being like the
34:33
Speaker 4: boyfriend overshadows being the boyfriend of her overshadows you being cord.
34:38
Speaker 5: No, Because I was Corday first, and like I'm I'm
34:42
Speaker 5: very confident like in myself, Like as a I don't
34:45
Speaker 5: really like to pop my shit, but like I'm a
34:47
Speaker 5: super successful, like.

34:53
Speaker 5: I do it and above all else, I'm a man
34:54
Speaker 5: of God and I'm a prif not prideful, but I
34:57
Speaker 5: am a very a apologetic black man, you know what
35:02
Speaker 5: I'm saying. And I say all that to say, you know,
35:06
Speaker 5: there is it all right? Oh, I got some more
35:09
Speaker 5: questions we hear, Baby, don't give me the thirty minute one.

Speaker 5: Like, bro, Like this shit is stressful, Bro, you know
35:28
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Like people can come into an interviews

35:37
Speaker 1: Like you just asked me about.
35:39

36:23
Speaker 5: lot of things that people can't do, you know what
36:25
Speaker 5: I'm saying.
36:26
Speaker 2: But what's the most difficult thing you have to deal with?
36:29
Speaker 2: Because people look at your life and be.
36:31
Speaker 1: Like you popping.

36:49
Speaker 1: we get it.
36:51
Speaker 5: I was waiting for somebody to say, but you have the.
36:56
Speaker 4: Radio. I'm not really.
37:00
Speaker 1: Uh uh what ilse Finna say? Thats what bothers you
37:04
Speaker 1: the most, honestly, it can.
37:07
Speaker 5: It's the thing that's like whatever is currently presently in
37:11
Speaker 5: front of me, like at that time.
37:13
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh my god, this dinkle bird.
37:18
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, y'all might be too old
37:19
Speaker 5: for that reference. But it's not like one constant thing
37:23
Speaker 5: or one enemy. Not. When I say enemy, I don't
37:25
Speaker 5: mean like person, I mean like thing.
37:28
Speaker 4: I can't even.
37:30
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a fairly odd parents reference.
37:34
Speaker 5: It's this cartoon, but that was like the Nigga Timmy's
37:37
Speaker 5: Turner's dad like arch nemesis. So it's like, but that
37:40
Speaker 5: was the same nemesis every episode. So my bad, I
37:43
Speaker 5: didn't read the run. No, no, no, not for real.
37:55
Speaker 5: So I say this to say, it's never one constant enemy.
37:57
Speaker 5: It's always something. It'd be some different shit every day,
38:02
Speaker 5: like literally, you know what I'm saying, Like some different
38:04
Speaker 5: shit every day. And so you have to conquer that,
38:07
Speaker 5: and you have to be bigger than your your issues.
38:09
Speaker 5: You have to be solution based and I try. And
38:12
Speaker 5: one thing I've learned to be is like, solution based.
38:15
Speaker 5: Let's make the most out of any given situation. And
38:17
Speaker 5: that's why I am as successful as I am and
38:20
Speaker 5: why I'm going to get to where I want and
38:22
Speaker 5: need to.
38:22
Speaker 1: Be, you know, in life. And so yeah, it's some
38:26
Speaker 1: different shit literally fucking every day.
38:27
Speaker 5: And you just gotta be. And that's for anybody in life.
38:30
Speaker 5: I know it's a million motherfuckers that may watch this,
38:33
Speaker 5: so listen to this. It be some different shit every day,
38:35
Speaker 5: no matter what stage of life that you on, you
38:38
Speaker 5: just gotta be solution based and like you know, yeah,
38:41
Speaker 5: just try to be as solution based as possible.
38:43
Speaker 4: And it causes levels of anxiety in you, right because
38:46
Speaker 4: you know it's a blessing from God. Yeah, you feel
38:49
Speaker 4: like you're not appreciating it. Yeah, and you feel like, damn,
38:51
Speaker 4: God gonna take it away from me because I don't appreciate.
38:53
Speaker 4: It's not that I don't appreciate, it is this stress
38:56
Speaker 4: that comes with it.
38:57
Speaker 1: Nah, that's a fact. I mean Heavy is the head, bro,
39:00
Speaker 1: he is the head. And yeah, Heavy is the head.
39:03
Speaker 1: And so you gotta you know, if you ask for.
39:06
Speaker 5: Well, great, you know, not the I was trying to
39:09
Speaker 5: not the quote fucking stan Lee but you know, with
39:11
Speaker 5: great power and platform come you know, great responsibility. And
39:14
Speaker 5: so when you ask for massive things, you got to
39:16
Speaker 5: be pause. You gotta be ready to deal what comes
39:20
Speaker 5: with it. You know what I'm saying, be ready for
39:22
Speaker 5: the responsibility of it.
39:23
Speaker 1: So like.
39:25
Speaker 4: Meaning that you can't have Quote's success, Yeah, without having
39:29
Speaker 4: Cod's problems exactly.
39:31
Speaker 1: And then he yeah, exactly.
39:33
Speaker 2: Now you did post a picture of yourself. Yeah, you
39:36
Speaker 2: put hashtag free Luigi. Yeah, people were mad mad at
39:39
Speaker 2: you about that.
39:40
Speaker 1: They are they assume the free Lui people. Who is
39:43
Speaker 1: this target demographic of people? Because I didn't know that you.
39:50
Speaker 2: Were mad at free Luigi because you know Luigi if
39:53
Speaker 2: it's the same Luigi.
39:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't know.
39:55
Speaker 2: He's the gentleman that killed the CEO of United Healthcare.
39:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't know my nigga Luigi Ario brother was.
40:00
Speaker 4: Locked up man.
40:02
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, okay, but uh AnyWho, But you know, I'm
40:09
Speaker 5: just in a space now. Another big thing that I've like,
40:11
Speaker 5: the like one crossroad I've gotten passed is like being
40:15
Speaker 5: super I feel like because.
40:21
Speaker 1: I said, I've done.
40:22
Speaker 5: A lot of things that I wanted to do thus
40:24
Speaker 5: far right, and I know it's so much more that
40:25
Speaker 5: I gotta do.
40:26
Speaker 1: I'm still on this journey.
40:27
Speaker 5: If you look at all my albums, they all represent
40:29
Speaker 5: a journey, from the Lost Boy to the crossroads. It's
40:33
Speaker 5: all if you look at it, it's all a journey,
40:34
Speaker 5: because that's kind of what life is.
40:35
Speaker 1: Right. So, on this particular moment in my.
40:37
Speaker 5: Journey, I felt as though in the past I've been
40:40
Speaker 5: a little too like scared to be canceled for lack
40:43
Speaker 5: of a better word, or fearful to say what I
40:45
Speaker 5: really feel about certain shit, and because of like protecting
40:51
Speaker 5: what I've built, you know what I'm saying, Like when
40:53
Speaker 5: you build and saved up millions of dollars or like
40:56
Speaker 5: you've you've built up a bunch of shit, right that
40:58
Speaker 5: our brand or whatever the case, maybe a company business,
41:02
Speaker 5: like you want to protect that, and sometimes protecting that causes.
41:05
Speaker 1: Fear and you to move through fear.
41:07
Speaker 5: So I've kind of entered into this space now of
41:10
Speaker 5: like I'm a creative first, I'm an artist, ferst, and
41:13
Speaker 5: I gotta just say what's on my mind. Like, you know,
41:16
Speaker 5: don't be an idiot, you know what I'm saying, Don't
41:18
Speaker 5: don't be dumb, you know, but like yo, don't be
41:21
Speaker 5: as like politically correct and like scared to offend anybody
41:24
Speaker 5: because you're just going to be bland if you're just like, oh,
41:26
Speaker 5: I don't want to offend this person, or I don't
41:28
Speaker 5: want to offend this person. I don't want to make
41:30
Speaker 5: this person mad, you know what I'm saying to where
41:32
Speaker 5: like I've been doing that hella like and my creative
41:36
Speaker 5: and so I want to do that shit like yeah,
41:38
Speaker 5: I just thought that shit was funny.
41:39
Speaker 1: I mean, bro, you know he I don't want to
41:42
Speaker 1: speak on that too much to no, no, no, not
41:46
Speaker 1: that was funny. But I don't think he is a monster.
41:51
Speaker 5: Like you know what I'm gonna say this, this is
41:53
Speaker 5: this is gonna be my politically correct answer, but it's
41:55
Speaker 5: also my authentic true self. So this is the I'm
41:58
Speaker 5: not gonna say this is a medium, but authentically me
42:00
Speaker 5: as an individual. I am not well researched enough on
42:05
Speaker 5: the montrocities of the health care industry and what.
42:09
Speaker 1: The guy that got killed had to do with it.
42:11
Speaker 5: I just know that the American healthcare industry is fucked up.
42:15
Speaker 5: So I don't want to speak on the assassination of
42:17
Speaker 5: that particular individual without doing my proper research on what
42:22
Speaker 5: that particular individual had to do with the overall scope
42:26
Speaker 5: like the fucked up well you picked the side, you know,
42:30
Speaker 5: free that nigga was.
42:34
Speaker 4: Do you feel guilty on vacation?
42:36
Speaker 5: We'll explain that, yeah, because yeah I do because not. Yeah,
42:41
Speaker 5: it's just like you there and you're kind of thinking like, Okay,
42:43
Speaker 5: what could I be doing? What else could I be doing?
42:45
Speaker 5: Like working versus like you know, you know, just chilling.
42:50
Speaker 5: But sometimes you gotta as an artist to you gotta
42:52
Speaker 5: live life to have shit to talk about it. Else
42:54
Speaker 5: you're just gonna talk about I'm in a studio all
42:56
Speaker 5: day working nigga, grinding bars is life, you know what
42:59
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Like, you got to live life to talk
43:01
Speaker 5: about it. And so yeah, man, like again, this is
43:05
Speaker 5: a This whole entertainment business is like a journey.
43:09
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
43:09
Speaker 5: Like when you first started to where you're at has
43:12
Speaker 5: been a level up, a journey, you know what I'm saying.
43:15
Speaker 1: Same to all of y'all.
43:15
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, And so I'm recognizing and
43:19
Speaker 5: sometime that difficult point. It's all these self help books
43:22
Speaker 5: about how to get from zero to one hundred, but
43:26
Speaker 5: you kind of got to figure out yourself when you
43:28
Speaker 5: reach that first major milestone, a big goal about how
43:32
Speaker 5: to get to that next level. That's some shit you
43:34
Speaker 5: got to figure out, like through trial and error, through mentorship,
43:38
Speaker 5: through community, or through you know, fucking up and so like,
43:41
Speaker 5: like I said, like I'm super blessed, bro, I can
43:43
Speaker 5: acknowledge the fact that I'm super blessed.
43:45
Speaker 1: I thank God every day literally, but I still have
43:48
Speaker 1: a lot more to do.
43:49
Speaker 5: And I know the work that that takes, the dedication
43:51
Speaker 5: that that takes, and the thick skin that that takes.
43:54
Speaker 1: Pauls.
43:54
Speaker 4: A good book that you can get is the big
43:56
Speaker 4: Leap Okay, Conker, you're hitting Fear and Take Life to
43:59
Speaker 4: the Next Level by a Hendrix that's really his name, Okay,
44:03
Speaker 4: And it's a fantastic book. It's it's for people who
44:06
Speaker 4: are at one hundred who are looking to either stay
44:09
Speaker 4: there or get to that that next level.
44:12
Speaker 5: Well, see, that's why mentors are important, because I just said,
44:15
Speaker 5: there isn't a book that existed.
44:16
Speaker 4: And you know, it's funny. Quest Love put me onto
44:19
Speaker 4: that book a couple of years ago.
44:20
Speaker 1: You know it's funny.
44:21
Speaker 5: I was watching y'all interview with nip a couple of
44:24
Speaker 5: weeks ago, and yeah, r ip nip, and that had
44:30
Speaker 5: me pick up the way of this superior man, you
44:32
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So I've been reading that and
44:35
Speaker 5: why I bought the book. I read like four pages
44:37
Speaker 5: of it, don't you know whatever audio Yeah, yeah, Now
44:40
Speaker 5: I enjoyed reading because I like highlighting it to where
44:43
Speaker 5: like I like to go back to it and shit.
44:44
Speaker 1: But yeah no, so yeah, each one teach one, So
44:47
Speaker 1: thank you for that. I definitely picked that up.
44:49
Speaker 4: Another line, I'll never see it. You said you would
44:51
Speaker 4: never see me partying with the Michael Rubens.
44:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, why is that? So look, let me say this, right,
44:57
Speaker 1: he has this.
44:58
Speaker 5: It's crazy because he has this pro graham called Reform
45:01
Speaker 5: that actually got that that does amazing work, honestly, and
45:04
Speaker 5: it got a bunch of people out. It actually got
45:07
Speaker 5: like some of my closest friends out of jail, like
45:09
Speaker 5: straight up out of prison.
45:10
Speaker 1: Like got them on a pill. Like they do amazing work.
45:13
Speaker 5: Right, So I will want to start off by saying that,
45:16
Speaker 5: But I mean, bro, it's just going back to that
45:19
Speaker 5: place of me being a free creative in the studio.
45:24
Speaker 1: It's like, Yo, this ship just seem a little off,
45:26
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But you know it's crazy.
45:28
Speaker 5: Actually I've never met that nigga before before I said
45:30
Speaker 5: that line one.
45:34
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? God, why are you picking me? Man? Damn?
45:45
Speaker 1: Oh my god? AnyWho you never met him before?
45:47
Speaker 4: Yeah?
45:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I never when I said that line in
45:50
Speaker 5: the like again, so going back to you fucking up
45:52
Speaker 5: my training throw.
45:56
Speaker 1: Damn, it is impossible for me to.
45:59
Speaker 5: So, so going back to my point earlier of like,
46:03
Speaker 5: I just want to be a free creative you know
46:05
Speaker 5: what I'm saying and say what I feel. If I
46:06
Speaker 5: think something that includes humor, you know what I'm saying.
46:09
Speaker 5: Some of my favorite rappers had like social commentary through
46:12
Speaker 5: humor and so like, I've always done that since the
46:15
Speaker 5: very beginning, but when I got lit and shit to lose,
46:17
Speaker 5: I stopped doing it as much because I didn't want
46:19
Speaker 5: to burn bridges, you know what I'm saying. And so
46:20
Speaker 5: I say this to say if we all it's just
46:22
Speaker 5: me fucking joking. I see some shit online behind the
46:24
Speaker 5: back hugs, I'm like, Yo, that shit is crazy, nigga
46:27
Speaker 5: want see me doing that? And so funny enough, and
46:30
Speaker 5: again acknowledging I did want to acknowledge he has this
46:33
Speaker 5: program called Reform that does amazing thing.
46:35
Speaker 1: Right, So when I said that line, I have never
46:36
Speaker 1: met this nigga, Damn my life.
46:38
Speaker 5: One week after that song come out, I meet this
46:41
Speaker 5: nigga and he's hella cool at a commander's game.
46:47
Speaker 1: Huh, he hugged you.
46:48
Speaker 4: I ain't stay behind. I just said, did he hug you?
46:51
Speaker 1: Man?
46:52
Speaker 5: Look that I said what I said, idapped him up.
46:54
Speaker 5: He Hell, He's actually hella fucking cool. And like I said,
46:57
Speaker 5: the work he does with Reform is amazing, and so
47:01
Speaker 5: I think as an artist, I can acknowledge that he
47:03
Speaker 5: does amazing his his his program charity Reform, and I'm
47:09
Speaker 5: sure he does a bunch of other amazing ship for
47:11
Speaker 5: community is great.
47:12
Speaker 1: But then also, yo, nigga, that shit is funny. You
47:14
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I just no, fuck no.
47:18
Speaker 4: And he's put a lot of money in black black
47:20
Speaker 4: people's pockets. I just had I had an interesting conversation
47:23
Speaker 4: with a little baby recently and he was talking about that,
47:26
Speaker 4: and I think that, you know, sometimes people just really
47:29
Speaker 4: go with the information.
47:30
Speaker 5: Is yeah, no exactly, And he's he's one who who
47:34
Speaker 5: shit is sent from even like, I only met this
47:36
Speaker 5: dude one time and he was like, like I again,
47:38
Speaker 5: I felt kind of bad after meeting because you know,
47:40
Speaker 5: when you see ship online, he's just like, I'm making
47:42
Speaker 5: fun of it. But then when you actually meet the person,
47:44
Speaker 5: they become a real person and so which is also
47:48
Speaker 5: what fans think of fucking artists. So you know what
47:50
Speaker 5: I'm saying, It's like the duality of it. So uh not,
47:52
Speaker 5: I met him and he became a real person. But
47:54
Speaker 5: like when I met him, I'm like, oh, wow, you're
47:55
Speaker 5: like you're really You're the complete opposite of what I
47:58
Speaker 5: thought you were, like your cool? Yeah yeah yeah, So
48:02
Speaker 5: so you would go to one of his parties?

Speaker 4: I still can't be advice Naomi, but not you, then
48:09
Speaker 4: she I don't know.
48:15
Speaker 6: I don't know if I commit any crimes I'm committing
48:17
Speaker 6: with this talk about it.
48:19
Speaker 1: He might rap about it, but he ain't gonna talk
48:21
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah that's funny. That's worse now rapping about
48:25
Speaker 1: it and talking about it.
48:29
Speaker 7: No, I didn't know, Okay, yeah, no, we have to
48:33
Speaker 7: he was dating a white woman.

48:41
Speaker 4: Ship.
48:41
Speaker 5: I'm just saying I wouldn't do that, you know whatever.
48:44
Speaker 5: But what what niggas do with, you know, their time

Speaker 4: He did, yeah what.
48:56
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I was getting his number because he.
48:58
