- 1:37Speaker 1: whenever I did look at the show. I mean, Ryan
- 1:41Speaker 1: ran exactly, because I think people go on there and
- 1:42Speaker 1: they're like, oh, it's gonna be different when I go
- 1:44Speaker 1: on there, I'm gonna change it. And sometimes that doesn't happen.

- 1:49Speaker 1: as well, you know, and did you rememly have to
- 1:52Speaker 1: talk and be like Okay, we're not gonna get dragged
- 1:53Speaker 1: into no drama. Let's make sure they don't try to
- 1:56Speaker 1: create room. Don't like that, man, she don't like to
- 1:59Speaker 1: play nothing or none of that. Like she like, whatever
- 2:02Speaker 1: gonna happen is gonna happen, Like I'm the one that
- 2:04Speaker 1: because you don't want them to put no surprise somebody up. Yeah,
- 2:07Speaker 1: but I'd be more like that. How you said, like
- 2:09Speaker 1: we need to worry about this, about it, like be
- 2:11Speaker 1: on point. She'd like you listen, we're not doing all that,
- 2:13Speaker 1: like what ever gonna happen, gonna happen. But they have
- 2:15Speaker 1: the planner and she's the Yeah, she's like, I don't
- 2:18Speaker 1: like like over thinking stuff, but it's possible and swing
- 2:20Speaker 1: on somebody. Though now we can't, we can't do that. Yeah,
- 2:25Speaker 1: was my worry that she's on there if somebody act
- 2:27Speaker 1: up and then me react and then it's on camera.
- 2:29Speaker 1: But people know who to do that too and who not,
- 2:31Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Now, there was a time
- 2:33Speaker 1: behind the scenes they I remember hearing they said Poos
- 2:36Speaker 1: can't travel with Remy for a little while because he'd
- 2:38Speaker 1: be going nuts on people if anybody says something a
- 2:41Speaker 1: little sideways. Nah, I'll be I'll be chilling, man, I'll
- 2:44Speaker 1: be trying to keep that never happened. Oh nah, man,
- 2:49Speaker 1: I'm trying to get away from that. You know what
- 2:51Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's a business, right, you know what I mean?
- 2:53Speaker 1: So we're schilling. Were just positive? So are we trying
- 2:56Speaker 1: to make sure what part of your putting out this album?
- 2:59Speaker 1: And then you're doing loving hip hop and you guys
- 3:01Speaker 1: have the song out together now as well. It's this
- 3:04Speaker 1: all like a setup for your own show too. Oh yeah, definitely?
- 3:07Speaker 1: We um you know, interested in getting a spinding off
- 3:10Speaker 1: after this? You know it's a stepping stone. Are you
- 3:12Speaker 1: trying to stay on staying with fever? You know what
- 3:14Speaker 1: I mean? Right, definitely want to do that. Now the
- 3:15Speaker 1: record you got Todd Dallas sign on the hook? Are
- 3:17Speaker 1: you finally bucklingto the system and doing record? Man? Honestly,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I always I always did different joints man, you know
- 3:25Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's just that people don't look deep
- 3:27Speaker 1: enough like my core audience. They know I always was
- 3:29Speaker 1: versatile and switched it up, you know what I'm saying. But, um,
- 3:32Speaker 1: the records are actually pushed out there, you might be right.
- 3:34Speaker 1: It wasn't you know what I mean, get towards that,
- 3:36Speaker 1: but I always had them, like on my mixtape, just
- 3:37Speaker 1: to be versatile. But yeah, I'm stepping it up a
- 3:40Speaker 1: little bit more. Then you have to tell your core audience.
- 3:42Speaker 1: It's not like I'm not who I was before. I'm
- 3:44Speaker 1: just expanding because sometimes your fans be like, what are
- 3:47Speaker 1: you trying to do? Are you're selling out? You're crossing over?
- 3:49Speaker 1: But I don't explain myself to them because you know what,
- 3:51Speaker 1: like a lot of people, they they hit me up
- 3:54Speaker 1: on social media, your path, swear man, you the best,
- 3:56Speaker 1: you greatest ever. I run them into the cement the street.
- 3:58Speaker 1: It's the same thing. But it's like, yo, man, that's cool,
- 4:00Speaker 1: But did you buy my album? Like, if I had
- 4:02Speaker 1: a penny for anybody that gave me them compliments, I'd
- 4:05Speaker 1: be rich. I'll been meeting the man. So I'm like, yo,
- 4:06Speaker 1: buy the actual project if you really believe it in
- 4:08Speaker 1: your heart? You know what I mean? That's how I feel.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Do you wish you would have ever remained independent throughout
- 4:13Speaker 1: your whole career? Man? Yeah, I definitely wish. It's way better, yo,
- 4:17Speaker 1: way better. I wish from the from the start, I
- 4:19Speaker 1: never ever signed to a major. Man, even with the
- 4:21Speaker 1: money that you got drive up. Yeah, the money helped.
- 4:24Speaker 1: The money was good, but I think I would have
- 4:25Speaker 1: cashed out better because I had such a demand, because
- 4:27Speaker 1: I would just went independent. Who knows why I would
- 4:29Speaker 1: have been at right now? You think the major lay
- 4:32Speaker 1: yeah project, Yeah it did because when when it was
- 4:35Speaker 1: time to drop the actual project, they started playing games. Yeah,
- 4:39Speaker 1: and we backed out and we left with some bread.
- 4:41Speaker 1: But the bigger picture got hurt by that because the
- 4:44Speaker 1: album didn't come out. So people was like, oh man,
- 4:46Speaker 1: the album. So that album that none of those signs
- 4:49Speaker 1: could ever come out, I mean, got outdated. So I
- 4:52Speaker 1: just had to revamp it. And I kept the same
- 4:53Speaker 1: concept and the same idea, but I had to revamp
- 4:55Speaker 1: because it got it was old, right, you know what
- 4:57Speaker 1: I mean? I saw interview recently. You said you and
- 5:00Speaker 1: rem a real competitive in the studio. Man. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 5:02Speaker 1: we're competitive definitely as far as what just just like
- 5:06Speaker 1: balls or like y'all can y'all tell each other now
- 5:10Speaker 1: that I was whacked. Oh yeah. It's hard to take
- 5:13Speaker 1: somebody close to you though sometimes I usually fire I
- 5:15Speaker 1: just fire you back, man, Like remember what's trying to
- 5:17Speaker 1: fire yourself. Officers fire you back. You know what I mean?
- 5:19Speaker 1: I chilled, she shilled. She don't like the chill, so
- 5:20Speaker 1: we go out. She ain't gonna chill, but just go
- 5:24Speaker 1: y'all know, but do you listen? And does she listen?
- 5:27Speaker 1: Like if you like? Mm, that's the bag. I don't
- 5:30Speaker 1: like that. You should change that? Would you really change it?
- 5:32Speaker 1: Or all? Give me down? But later on, I see
- 5:35Speaker 1: people are taking my advice on the low. You know,
- 5:37Speaker 1: she ain't gonna let me know on the spot, but
- 5:38Speaker 1: I see that she took my vice. Just red me
- 5:40Speaker 1: get disrespectful with because red Me is disrespectful. Like, yeah,
- 5:43Speaker 1: she's respectful everybody. She don't discriminate, you know what I mean.
- 5:47Speaker 1: I'm trying to change your but you know it's gonna
- 5:49Speaker 1: happen gradually. I like the fact that you're not afraid
- 5:51Speaker 1: that the show Black love man, Oh yeah, it's like yeo,
- 5:54Speaker 1: it is not even just Blackloo, this love in general. Nah. Yeah, definitely,
- 5:58Speaker 1: it's genuinely how we feel, you know what I mean
- 5:59Speaker 1: about each other. It's not a front. So when it's real,
- 6:02Speaker 1: you know, you don't gotta hid it. Like I feel
- 6:04Speaker 1: like I don't know when hip hop is like, we
- 6:05Speaker 1: don't let him host. You know what I mean, money
- 6:07Speaker 1: of a bitches, And I think that's just fake, you
- 6:09Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that's why you know we
- 6:11Speaker 1: needs afraid to show. I feel like it's influential, was
- 6:13Speaker 1: making other people want to do it. We just had
- 6:15Speaker 1: a discussion last week because Joe Budens had said he
- 6:17Speaker 1: didn't like how Meek moves with Nikki likes too he's
- 6:20Speaker 1: too much of a simple with her. Is the words
- 6:23Speaker 1: did he use that don't bother you at all? Nah man,
- 6:26Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta let me grow. Man, you know
- 6:28Speaker 1: what I'm saying. As you get older, you look at
- 6:30Speaker 1: life differently. And I know through my experiences certain things
- 6:32Speaker 1: I did when I was younger, I don't want to
- 6:34Speaker 1: be doing that no more. I want to be hit
- 6:35Speaker 1: in everywhere. I want to make a sacrifice and you
- 6:37Speaker 1: don't build a family. Absolutely what I'm saying. And the
- 6:40Speaker 1: albums out now, who who's on the album? Um? I
- 6:43Speaker 1: got a joint with me may No Red Cafe. You
- 6:46Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I gotta joint with me and
- 6:48Speaker 1: Troy yaf um Ron Browns. I got DJ Premier people
- 6:52Speaker 1: like that. You can't kept the real New York. Yeah, definitely,
- 6:55Speaker 1: Man's that's where I'm from. Man like, I ain't ashamed
- 6:57Speaker 1: to say at one point, at one point, you got
- 6:59Speaker 1: a problem, he said, J's weren't supporting you. Are you
- 7:01Speaker 1: still having that problem? Oh yeah, he said, Hell yeah.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Say what you got to say to Envy right now?
- 7:07Speaker 1: You know, all right, Envy, Man play my record. Man
- 7:10Speaker 1: plays to every everyone playing very played you every morning
- 7:15Speaker 1: to the point where other people complained. The complain that's
- 7:19Speaker 1: the problem. That's the problem. Though. I'm glad you said
- 7:22Speaker 1: they don't care, but those are the haters. That's why
- 7:24Speaker 1: I can't give me I'll need to be stop hating. Man.
- 7:26Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I don't know what. Why
- 7:28Speaker 1: did they complain about? I think and you know that
- 7:30Speaker 1: we actually they said the records to New York. That's
- 7:32Speaker 1: what they were saying. But I called over. I asked
- 7:34Speaker 1: them to make a universal version. But you know what,
- 7:36Speaker 1: that's Those are people. I need to be slapped because
- 7:39Speaker 1: why a hating? Why are you hating on me for
- 7:41Speaker 1: I'm playing what I gotta do to support my family.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Don't try to stop me from eating, Like, come on. Man,
- 7:46Speaker 1: that's good advice though to do a universal you're talking
- 7:48Speaker 1: about this now I did it. I took his advice though,
- 7:50Speaker 1: I did it. But um, yeah, I think that. I think.
- 7:53Speaker 1: I think Envy and the other DJ show me a
- 7:55Speaker 1: little bit more like they don't owe me nothing, but
- 7:57Speaker 1: you know, if you feel like I'm doing something that's
- 7:58Speaker 1: worth it, YO help me. And then they gave me
- 8:01Speaker 1: some feedback to im like here's what the issue is
- 8:03Speaker 1: and gave yeah, definitely. But I can't say he don't
- 8:06Speaker 1: play my music because he do play it, you know
- 8:08Speaker 1: what I mean kind of time. But I'm just saying,
- 8:10Speaker 1: like you know, when some of the out the town
- 8:11Speaker 1: dudes come out, I need that same parade, you know
- 8:14Speaker 1: what I mean, going so same shot. I feel like
- 8:16Speaker 1: I could take it from there. Yeah I can't. Just
- 8:18Speaker 1: I mean I feel don't just play the record once
- 8:20Speaker 1: or twice, like, yeah, I don't really help programming and
- 8:22Speaker 1: the people. I needed consistency so I can grow and
- 8:25Speaker 1: I mean really get some with Now I said, you
- 8:27Speaker 1: hating on some other rappers. They probably deserved it. Trolling.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Oh yeah, complex what was he doing? So it's kind
- 8:36Speaker 1: of like a it's like a hitting camera, you know,
- 8:41Speaker 1: trolling something. They had these rappers, I'm coming rappers come
- 8:44Speaker 1: in the studio. They got to work with pet Poos
- 8:46Speaker 1: and he dissed them on their own track. Basically, Yeah,
- 8:49Speaker 1: I was watching it. They were like, oh man, I
- 8:52Speaker 1: was growing up. I was, you know, listening to him
- 8:53Speaker 1: since I was thirteen. I didn't. Yeah, I mean, it
- 8:58Speaker 1: was just um set for complex. It was all the fun,
- 9:02Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They actually gave them them
- 9:03Speaker 1: do some exposure on the site, you know what I'm saying, right,
- 9:06Speaker 1: So it wasn't yeah, because they were like, here's a
- 9:07Speaker 1: link to hear this rap. Ye. Yeah, yeah, it was.
- 9:10Speaker 1: It was all the fun. After it, we all shook
- 9:11Speaker 1: hands and laughed, you know what I mean. It was
- 9:13Speaker 1: it was a good look. Somebody could have that could
- 9:15Speaker 1: have went wrong. Somebody could have got mad and you
- 9:17Speaker 1: never know. Oh yeah, no, we wasn't gonna do that. Man.
- 9:20Speaker 1: We know it was a prank and that's what we
- 9:21Speaker 1: had in our mind from the door. So we even
- 9:23Speaker 1: just having some fun, that's all. Man. Now. I saw
- 9:25Speaker 1: another interview recently you did when you said you disagree
- 9:28Speaker 1: with they sat rocket when he said in New York
- 9:29Speaker 1: doesn't have a distinct sound. Oh yeah. They asked me that.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I was on an interview with all I Think all
- 9:34Speaker 1: hip Hop dot Com and they asked me about that,
- 9:36Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, I totally disagree. Of course,
- 9:37Speaker 1: New York has a distinct sound right now, though, I
- 9:40Speaker 1: mean in the nineties they did, early two thousands, I
- 9:42Speaker 1: don't know about right now. I think we do. And
- 9:44Speaker 1: I used on Bobby Smurder for example. I think Bobby
- 9:46Speaker 1: Smurder is a New York sound, you know what I mean,
- 9:49Speaker 1: not just lyrically, but you hear Brooklyn in that man,
- 9:53Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I liked the hit Shore.
- 9:54Speaker 1: I love it when you hit like things like that
- 9:56Speaker 1: of that nature. Like some of these dudes you here,
- 9:58Speaker 1: they don't sound like they from here, even in the interviews,
- 10:01Speaker 1: even the interview, they talk like they from another region.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I think that's because they're influenced by a lot of
- 10:05Speaker 1: the rappers that like. You gotta think. You look at
- 10:08Speaker 1: Fattip Fetti Wapp was influenced by Gucci man, you know
- 10:11Speaker 1: what I mean. You look at him trying to think
- 10:13Speaker 1: asav Rocky said he was influenced by rappers from Texas.
- 10:16Speaker 1: That Texas, so they have that sling like I was
- 10:19Speaker 1: influenced by your nass, your jay Z. So those are
- 10:22Speaker 1: the type of things that influence me. It is just
- 10:23Speaker 1: I think they're influences, right, Yeah, that's the music. But
- 10:25Speaker 1: I'm saying when they when they're talking, they see me
- 10:28Speaker 1: like vocal canus. Yeah, I'm saying everything has an overall picture. Yeah,
- 10:33Speaker 1: New York definitely has. We always gonna have a sound.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Like I said, I use That's why I use Smirred
- 10:36Speaker 1: as an example, because that's why I liked it so much.
- 10:39Speaker 1: I heard that New York like that, Brooklyn. You could
- 10:41Speaker 1: tell them out there, you know what I mean. You
- 10:42Speaker 1: can hear and you can feel it. So what's the
- 10:44Speaker 1: overall golf? Golf for papoos? Where do you see yourself? Like,
- 10:47Speaker 1: what would that be ideal for you? I just see
- 10:50Speaker 1: myself growing on different levels and you know, opening different
- 10:52Speaker 1: businesses and getting money and just being a family man,
- 10:55Speaker 1: taking care of my family. Balanced. Yeah, definitely. I saw
- 11:00Speaker 1: you teet one did it? You tweeted um? So? Oh
- 11:02Speaker 1: so they acting like they want lyrics again? When fab
- 11:05Speaker 1: was doing the free Friday, Yeah yeah. Do you think
- 11:09Speaker 1: that was a novelty thing or you think people really
- 11:11Speaker 1: want the lyrics again. Um, I think because I think
- 11:17Speaker 1: most of the mainstream was just paying attention because Fab
- 11:20Speaker 1: did it, because he never stopped freestyling. I mean, not
- 11:23Speaker 1: just myself, a lot of rot we never stopped freestyling,
- 11:25Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Nobody wasn't really paying attention
- 11:27Speaker 1: like that. But I think when Fab did it, you know,
- 11:29Speaker 1: I mean it shout the fab. It just made the
- 11:32Speaker 1: mainstream people pay attention for a little while. I mean
- 11:34Speaker 1: that's and I think especially over the old school beats. Yeah, yeah,
- 11:38Speaker 1: you do it over the nineties beach It's like, oh okay,
- 11:39Speaker 1: he really freestyling. Oh yeah, definitely definitely. But that never
- 11:42Speaker 1: stopped though. Would you would you ever do a turn
- 11:44Speaker 1: up record? Um? What you mean like a trap beat? Yeah,
- 11:49Speaker 1: I'll do it just to show my versatility and keep
- 11:50Speaker 1: it moving, you know what I'm saying, Like like how
- 11:52Speaker 1: Big did when he did the um Bone Dogs. Yeah,
- 11:55Speaker 1: but I wouldn't stayed in and just lived and move in,
- 11:58Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I cheered for men and
- 11:59Speaker 1: keep it moving. You can't do it that's cool, like
- 12:03Speaker 1: to be versatil. I just don't like when cass stay
- 12:05Speaker 1: did you know what I mean as a fan, you
- 12:06Speaker 1: know what I mean. Do you like what New York
- 12:08Speaker 1: is at right now? Yeah? Yeah, I like when New
- 12:11Speaker 1: York is at right now. I mean I just dropped
- 12:12Speaker 1: my album to day. I feel like we're in a
- 12:13Speaker 1: good space. It's where album coming out on Fridays now. Yeah,
- 12:18Speaker 1: they switched it up, and that's like a big deal
- 12:19Speaker 1: to anybody, right because you know, we're so used to
- 12:22Speaker 1: I can't even ever remember a time when albums didn't
- 12:24Speaker 1: come out on Tuesdays. I mean, they actually gave me
- 12:25Speaker 1: the option, and I chose the Friday because I was
- 12:27Speaker 1: supposed to come out in June, but then we pushed
- 12:29Speaker 1: back and he was like, Yo, you want to do
- 12:30Speaker 1: a Tuesday because they're doing Fridays now. I say, I'll
- 12:32Speaker 1: do the Friday. It sounds good, something new, you know
- 12:36Speaker 1: what I mean. So whatever, I was with it, and
- 12:38Speaker 1: the song called Michael Jackson Um. In the chorus, I
- 12:41Speaker 1: made a reference to Jenna Jackson and Michael Jackson like
- 12:43Speaker 1: she wanted control and I want to beat it like
- 12:45Speaker 1: Michael Jackson got you know what I mean. So the
- 12:47Speaker 1: chorus was kind of catchy. So I was like, that's
- 12:48Speaker 1: the title of Michael Jackson, because I'm listening, listening for
- 12:51Speaker 1: a sample, I'm no Michael Jackson. Yeah, yeah, No. It
- 12:54Speaker 1: was just the references and the metaphors to Jenna Jackson
- 12:57Speaker 1: and Michael Jackson. That's like a great description of your relationship. Okay, right, right,
- 13:02Speaker 1: right exactly, Man, shout out the rim. All right, Well,
- 13:05Speaker 1: we appreciate you joining us. Yeah, man, thanks for having me. Man,
- 13:08Speaker 1: I need anybody to go out there and cop that project.
