• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, Okay, you're You're very important to the fabric of
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: the culture of Atlanta because you do the parties that
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: you do. I feel like they're still parties. We'll get
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: into this, We'll get into this in the conversation. But
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: I feel like everybody want to get fucked up at Joe.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: A lot of people, a lot younger. And what do
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: you want to do when they go out? They want
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: to turn up dance.
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: They don't care about no sections.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: They don't care about no section and the sections are
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: damn their cheapest. Fuck.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I didn't know that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Until later on or left. I was like, wait, okay,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so go.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Ahead BT all right, So mister l BATCHI, what do
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: you have to say?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: What What was the part of the interview that you
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: did not like or discipline.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Listen, let me say this first and foremost, I'm not
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I'm an equal opportunity when it comes I'm an equal
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: opportunitist when it comes to, you know, giving people they
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: flowers and the things that they do in our business.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: And I've known you guys for a long time. I've
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: seen both of you develop, you know what I'm saying,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: respectfully into your craft and you know kind of how
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: many your skills and you know, year after year continue
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: to elevate. But I guess the the issue that I
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: had is that when I was watching certain interviews, I
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: kept hearing like the same sentiment, like it kept going
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: back to the promoter, as if like for one reason
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: or another, we were kind of like the issues like
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: whether it was the DJs, whether it was the owners.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Remember y'all had my older brother on here with shout
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: out my bro batching long story by the name Abe
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: and Biddy, and so you know, I watched that dope interview.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: It kicked off the conversation, and then after that you
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: had the DJs, and then from there it was the
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Penny Lane Sugar she and the other young lady, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: I kind of kept hearing like a similar storyline, like
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: everybody has their experiences. And I remember thinking back there
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: was this it's this age old argument. It happens like
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: once a year on you know, social media. Definitely who's
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: more important the only the promoter or the DJ And
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: then the answer would be, well, when the dj unplugs
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: the music, then there is no party, And I'm like,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: how you get to that point? And so yeah, like listening,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: and to be perfectly honest, I hate the term promoter
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: because it's so much more to the business and the
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: skill set in which we bring to the table to
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: just be simple labeled as a promoter. Yes, we do
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: promote the event, but in its essence, we're curators, you
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, We're creatives, and so I think
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: I agree with that. I think sometimes the position in
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: which we play, don't we don't get our just due,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. And I think over time,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: me being from it, you know, from the city. I'm
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: from College Park, south Side, born and raised here, although
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: you know my parents are African, but having seen the
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: city transition through so many errors, the content has always
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: been the need for promotion. I don't care how big
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: the DJ is, I don't care how pot in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: club is, because we all know in here clubs have
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: a very short shelf life. You might get five year run.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: But guess what I can always do as a curating,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: as a promoter for your shit slow down, I'm gonna
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: go to the next spot. We're gonna turn this spot up.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: And when that, you know, you you lose your look
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: of license that don't follow me, I'm gonna go to
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: the next spot. And so we develop and build a
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: fan base in the audience that follows us because we bring,
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: you know, a certain level of quality quality to the event,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: and I think sometimes it gets lost and in all
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: of the bs that people tend to talk about, what
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: struck me particularly that made me even get my Twitter
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: fingers going is like, and I'm gonna say this because
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: I don't know how y'all gonna try to edit this up,
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: but like, I have no issues when nobody. I love everybody, man.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Say what you want to say.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: It was like I overheard the DJ saying, oh, then
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: the promoter, I'll try to tell you, you know, to do
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: this and and play like that, and I'm like, yo,
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, I've I don't think
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: more people have hired promoters than what we were doing
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: when I was doing Bookerloo. You know what I'm saying.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: I did Boogoloo for ten years and we had a
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: five DJ rotations.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Every Sunday, y'all, two on this side.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: One Sunday you had like twenty people, you see what I'm.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Saying that, And it was just going back and forth.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: So we would have three on the main side, two
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: on the other side. And so I'm gonna study this
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: shit because you know, this is how you know what
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, This is how to take care of my folks.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: And and I would look at and be like, Yo,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: half the time, the DJ y'all not even paying attention
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: to the crowd. You know what I'm saying. I'm not
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: saying every DJ, but a lot of DJs they're so
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: consumed within themselves, like Yo, stick your head up, put
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: the hookah tip down, put your drink down, and look
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: at the crowd. Nobody's bobbing their head but you. So
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: I have to understand, like, when it comes to hiring
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: the DJ, who am I going to pick that that
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: makes sense to the crowd that I'm bringing in I
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: know my crowd better than you do for sure.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So I want to I want to give them some time.
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: So my thing we're speaking on DJs, I just feel
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: like the DJ nowadays is either you cloud chasing or
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: you money hungry. And it's a certain circle of DJs
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: that are you know, they don't do that, and that's
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: who that's who we're gonna hire forever.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: Real.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: It's not about the price, it's not It's about yo.
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: If I I book a DJ, right, we're gonna go
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: on a run. We're gonna do this party. We might
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: be six months in next thing.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: Man, he on tour with such and such that happens.
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: They don't think about, Oh well, what about Shanika that's
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: gonna be twirking in the front row. She can't talk
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: to my music no more? What about Jamorrow? Who gotta
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: Now I gotta find a new DJ. And guess what this?
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: I can continue the same thing or they money hug
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: you where. But it's one o'clock and I'm hearing Joe
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: blow from down the street music because he done d
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: M you and now he done paid you five hundred
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: a week to play his music. Yeah, bro, so like
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: I don't think they understand like you know, we care
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: about it. It's not about like, oh, I'm I'm gonna
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: take who's who's burning who or who's gonna cut this.
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: It's like nah, Bro, it's just about who's gonna stay
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: consistent because you're gonna have your off nights.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: I don't expect Lebron or nobody go out there and
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: drop forty every game, but I expect consistency.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: Right, if I'm if I'm feeling on the sideline, I
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: need you to be Jordan in the in the club, Bro,
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: that's it. And if you're not gonna be Jordan, okay, cool,
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: I gotta guess what, Bro, I gotta go find another one.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: And that's it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: And then when you find another one, that's when they
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: get to, oh, you want to hire somebody because they cheap,
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: or you want to hire this something now, Bro, Like
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: you said, I want to have somebody that's looking at
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: the crowd or cares about it, somebody that before they
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: text the Knicks, before you take the Knicks booking the
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: next dollar, You're like, dang, I built over there, let
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: me you know, let me be lawyered over here for sure, that's.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: It, and not looking at it like just to check too.
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: That exactly My thing with the d With just elaborating
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: on DJs is that like everybody plays a part.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: It's like the inside of a clock.
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: If you open the clock up, it's big gadget, small gadget,
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: but no, the clock cannot move without every gadget working,
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So DJ's for my problem
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: is this is my party. I don't care who club
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: this is. This is my party. I took a lot
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: of time to put this event together to make sure
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: that not just the DJs happy and the owner is
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: happy about making money. But when people come there, they
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: come and they release the stress that they're going through
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: throughout the day.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: That's what my brand stands for, Party with Certified Dreams.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: When people come to my events, they come there they
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: just had death, they just had divorces, they just lost babies,
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: and all.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Kind of crazy.
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: On the flip side, they could be celebrating, and when
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: they come in there, they forget about everything that's going
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: on on the outside world because because the way I
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: make them feel, I'm the type of promoter that I
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: literally speak to everybody. If I can't end the venue.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: That's just how I am. I speak to people. I
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: told you, hey, my name is dream I from the part.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: I appreciate you coming out.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: You know too much.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that for sure.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: But that's just me, you know what I'm saying. That's
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: just me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: So it's like when the DJ come in there and
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: get to play other artists music and all of this
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: type of stuff, and then when I go there and
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: I ask them, ay man, can you play the song?
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: And then I gotta wait ten songs for them to
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: play a song.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: Like I pay you respectfully, like for these for these
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: two hours.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: You work for me like I'm your boss. You get
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: what I'm saying.
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: So, like I need need you to assist me in
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: doing what I need to do to execute my party
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: the way I want to execute it, not the way
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: you want to execute it. Put the hookah down, like
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: you see it just DJing like this with headphones on.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: You don't know what's going on.
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: You're playing a song thinking it's lit, and the crowd's
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: just sitting down, nobody's sweating, nobody's dancing.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of DJ they're paying attention to the crowd.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I would like to insert. Man, that's why I loved
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: working for AG.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: You couldn't do that for sure. It was a whole
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: bunch of structure. I'm not saying anyone lacks structure, right.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: It was a communication chain to what we were doing.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Matter of fact, I can remember me and DJ Ace
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: we were doing Prevail on Friday. I will talk to
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: him at seven pm that night about what we were
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: going to do that night because we had such and
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: such coming that night, and then we're gonna play some
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: new shit. That shit gonna be like towards the end
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: of the night. It ain't gonna be prime time or
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: close to prime time. I'm only saying this because I
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: feel like because I am a DJ, a host, whatever,
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: and those are my guys. But you guys are my
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: guys too. Where do you guys think the disconnect is
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: between the DJ, the promoter, and the owner. Where do
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: you guys do the keyword disconnect? What do you guys die?
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: I get a lot of Yeah, I get a lot
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: of kickback when I go to the DJ and be like, hey,
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: switch it up, turn up a little bit more.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: It look at me like, who the hell are you? Like? Yo? Bro?
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: Like the people ain't partying right now, Like turn up
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: or go Caribbean, Like you've been playing trap all night,
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: You've been playing TWK music all night. Give me some Caribbean,
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: give me some Afro beat, like make people have fun.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: This isn't just about boom boom boom, boom boom the
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: whole time.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: I think a big part of it is everybody doesn't
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: recognize the event as part of a business for sure,
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Like, I know, for me,
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: coming up, we and I'm probably well, we might be
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: around the same age group, but I know, like I
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: started in high school and then went on to college.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: So for me, it was like it was a hobby
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: that turned into a hustle that manifested into a career.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: So everybody didn't have that same pathway, so they don't
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: view it as the same thing. Like some people just like, yeah,
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: I got a regular nine to five, I do this
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: on the weekends, you know what I'm saying. But no,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: I take care of a lot of people doing this
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: thing that I do. So it's like you have to
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: respect it and treat it like a business because when
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: you do that, you have a different level of appreciation.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: So if I'm the curator of the event. You don't
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: know what I put into getting these one hundred people
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: on this side of the club. These three hundred people
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: are getting these people on this couch, you know what
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. And to the DJ, they may feel like, Yo,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: you're not the DJ. Let me do what I do.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: You hide me for a reason, understandably so. But part
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: of that reason is to ensure that when I was
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: sitting in my room trying to come up with this theme,
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: this gimmick, this idea or putting this celebration together, I
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: had you in mind, but you are a part of it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: You're not the whole thing, right, And then you have
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: the owner that feels like, well, I pay the bills,
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: you did, you know what I'm saying. So I needed
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: to go the way I wanted to go, because when
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: y'all leave, I'm still stuck here. And I think if
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: everybody had the same idea, like, yo, how do we
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: officially run this business? Because it's I've met some very
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: very super intelligent people in this line of work and
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: they could have ran fortune five hundred companies and did
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of other things. You know what I'm saying,
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: but treating it like a business and not like a
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: hobby or a hustle. I think in part that's where
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: you start to see the disconnect.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, disconnected me.
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna I'm gonna say pride and self awareness too,
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: but I'm gonna take it a step further, just from
• 14:24
  Speaker 9: what I see on my end.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Of stuff, uh age.
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: I don't think a lot of people realize, Like I
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: don't know, they say, like parties are dead or stuff
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: like that. But the problem is, it's not that parties
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: are dead. It's the fact people socialize different. You don't
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: realize when they was gonna shut down TikTok, but we
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: we've seen it on every news site every It was
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: really like CNN is talking about yeah, but CNN is
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: like just.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Shutting out time out your flyers.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Bro. Yeah, I'm gonna take the risk. I always know when.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I saw any type of trending topicad.
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: Respect, but now, like, people socialize different, bro, And I
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: feel like, but you might have DJs that can he
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: might drop a jerk set and this you know, he's
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: flipping the club. He might drop A young boy said,
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: then you got a DJ that will play straight TikTok songs.
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: That you might not know what the hell going on,
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: but the owner over there like the fuck is this?
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: But the crowd enjoy it, and the promoter depends on
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: his age, is like yo, what like what's going on?
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: So when I say age like to me, it's kind
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: of like I keep going back to basketball teams, but
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: you ever realized, like when the Warriors was winning or
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: the Calves was winning, They're like, okay, see now they
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: got a chemistry. I feel like your best like promoter
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: DJ on the combo, it's people who hang out outside
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: of that. You know what, I'm done, We're done with
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: the club. Cool, We're gonna hit We're gonna hit the
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: club together. Guess what, talking to the same women, we
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: know what they're into. We listen to the same shows
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: that we're taking in the reaction to other people. And
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: now that we all like we kind of living life
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: the same, bro, we know what type of event we
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: going into. Absolutely, And then when you got that chemistry
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: outside of the workplace, that's when they're affixed inside of
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: the workplace.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You brother, listen, you're going crazy.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, it takes a certain level of pride in
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: your craft to really you know what I'm saying, like,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: want to give it that type of attention. Like I
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: used to tell certain owners all the time, It's like,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: if this is your night club, or your venue, your
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: event space, whatever it is. If you in this bitch
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: five to seven days a week, what time do you
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: have to go anywhere else to support any other establishment
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: and see the type of vibe that they got outside
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: of looking on Instagram?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, got to be a
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: student of the game.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I had an owner that I had a long relationship with.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: I used to tell them that all the time. I'm like, Bro,
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: the one time in the blue moon that you go
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: out with me. You get upset when people don't roll
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: out the red carpet, But Bro, they don't know you
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: for sure. You in the house, the house meaning your club.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: So as a as a curator, as a promoter, I
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: might hit four or five spots in the city in
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: your week. So I gotta report with everybody from the
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: valet to the bouncer, to the to the service you
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, The service crew, the boller girl,
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: the damn barback. We built that relationship. But you you're
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: you're stagging it and staying in your place, so you
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: don't understand like the nuances that may come. I'll say this,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: I remember at a point in time, me and day
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: They used to do parties back in the day together
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: and shout out to day They and I remember like
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: we had the libra going crazy at a point in time.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: And this is still in between, like you know, we
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: about to leave college, is still in college. And I
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: remember a group of promoters came and they started doing
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: dollar parties and we was like, what are you doing?
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Line down eight blocks and we're like yeah, cause this
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: shit is free, you know what I'm saying. But for
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: us it was like we this is how we get money.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: So when they came and changed the game, like everything
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: switched and now free getting into the club became like
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: the new thing. But I say that to say, have
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: we not been around to kind of see that, then
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: we understand it, like damn, why twenty dollars at the
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: door ain't working no more? Why forty dollar vip ain't
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: working no more? Because this is a younger generation, they
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: probably can't afford a twenty or forty. They got a buck,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: they got a five, and so now we're like, damn,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: that's the energy, and you know, Instagram wasn't popping at
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the time, so yeah, it's it's Twitter's Facebook. Oh you
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: know this this is live over here, Like we need
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: to switch it up and so like you know, and
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: I put this, you know on the owners is like
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: you have to kind of take your pride and ego
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: out of it and be willing to go be continue
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: to be a student at the game and go to
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: other places.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And then they got to travel more.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: He was rocky.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: You could tell about how clubs look.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: They don't travel no where everybody because.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: It's like and it's the same person building every club.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Too.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm over here, Like you could.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Tell the person that's building a club, he don't travel
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: no where because if you go to different cities, I'm like, oh, man,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: like you you might go to a club in Miami.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: You might talk to and they're like, man, would you
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: get this idea to build this?
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I went through I partied and Belieze or somewhere, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: I saw the lights and I was figuring out how
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: they got those lights, and I'm taking it back to
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: where I'm going.
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: I'm like, oh, that's how you build something.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: That's me.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: I go to venues, and I literally just stare at
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: things all day long, you know what I mean. My
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: shorty asks me like what are you looking at? Like
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: why are you always touching stuff? I'd be walking down
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: the hallway touching.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: Why to the ceiling? Or why is this is like
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: this this like that.
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: But like what Bacha was saying, shout out to my manager,
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: you got to have a good team as an owner
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: to leave your venue and go to other establishments. So
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: like my manager Bubba will always tell me, like, go
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: be dream you know what I'm saying, Like, go be dreams.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: So every night I make sure I go out. I
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: go to Jamari parties, you know what I mean. I

  Speaker 6: When we go first, I miss Velvet Room telling my age.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: But let me tell you why when you walked in
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: Velvet Room. First of all, you couldn't even get to
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: the DJ both it was a big ass plexiglass. You
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: had to do sign and say I want to hear,
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: and then big ass dance floor and the VIP was
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: up out the way and it was small. That's what
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: everybody did, danced and they had an early crowd.
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: Bro.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I missed that ship. I missed the early crowd, and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: then I missed being a y n and being in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the parking lot.
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: Nigga.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: The parking lot was crazy.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Sometimes if you didn't have the bread.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: You could chill in the parking lot.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: I got my first piece of atl ass And for
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: me and the motherfucker in the parking lot.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I'm too young to get inside that motherfucker.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I'm vel if I shoot, I'm gonna say.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: Mansion, which used to be dreams Ats, Yes, originally everybody
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: got trying, but yeah, for Mansion, I think it was
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: more like that was right in the era of like
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: dance floor was still lit, yes, but but hookers were
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: now coming into.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: A place and slowly creeping was started.
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: Kind of gotta get sections because I want to sit down.
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: But the dance floor still lit, but you still the
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: VP was up, was up, yeah, so you could still like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: I don't know, you still see who was on the floor.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: You might go mingle with somebody now, but just straight sections.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: That was Drake and it was to look down upon
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: at that time, to like feel like not being in
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Like yeah, you go the Mansion and you're like, I
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: don't want no sections.
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: I can hit the bar exactly. And then the time
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: that Mansion was lit with just like it was like
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: an explosion for Atlanta.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: Bro.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: Every artist was was was coming out and it was like, damn,
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: bro and everybody. Now it's like and this is why now,
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: like domain, you know what I'm saying, That's what I
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: do on Fridays now. But you're starting to see that
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: resurgence again, like we're booking artists that the twin one
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: that market probably has no idea who they are, but
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: they packing this ship two thousand plus people and it's like, damn,
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: but we're finally getting the resurgence again of Atlanta artists
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: and just ra.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Making people. History repeats history always, and then you.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Age that a little bit Thay.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: On Thursday.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Thursday.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Then niggas, I think.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: So yours was magic.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: That's tough, because come on, bro, you gotta make a
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: decision eras changed.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Okay, So if I got a pick between two, I'm
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: saying Mansion for my era before they start doing the
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: college night and club Miami Brooah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Park Lite for show.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Because here's the thing about it, Like when you think
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: of when you break down like what night life was
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: at a certain time, right, it's the music and the erasure,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: and so I really wanted to say liber but that's
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: another story. But when you think of the eras of
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: the music, right, it was like when during that Club
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: Miami time, I felt like that's when Atlanta was creating
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: that identity partying, right because we had the trap era,
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like when Tip jumped out there,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: when Jeez jumped out, when was doing this thing. But
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: as we get to Club Miami, now we're thinking, like
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Travis Porter, you know what I'm saying, that's still in
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: my college days. And so seeing that it was in
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Club Miami wasn't big and that was a beautiful thing
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: about it, right because that shit felt so intimate and
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: personal on a party level.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: But then with it was DJ.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Who's the DJ at Miami days?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, they'll keep going, I'm gonna find it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: But even some of those guys, right, they weren't doing
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: like the big, big nightclub. They weren't doing the compounds
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: in the velvet room. So It's like you had that
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: niche of people where if it was three hundred people
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: in this bitch like we was having the time with
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Mansion prior to the eighteen and up. I think one
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: of y'all mighty said it wasn't no sections, you know
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying. And honestly, that was probably the club
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: that really really stamped me as being the host and like, yo,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: we can have fifteen hundred people in this bitch and
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: they rocking, whether it was celebrity in there or not.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: This is taking your shirt off and stand on top
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: of the country, you know what I mean. So for me,
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: I felt like that that era of people really really
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: partying and not caring too much about sections because you
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: got a dance for that can hold seven hundred to
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: eight hundred people.
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: Like when we lost, we lost a big part of
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: So you know, I'm from the North, so I can't
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: I've been to these clubs. I've never been in the
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: Velvety Room. I never been to Club Miami definitely mentioned
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: the line, you know what I mean. But for me
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: on the North, it was a club called Pink Flamingo.
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: Hey one time, yeah, for show, So like that's when
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: like you had the unit. You had Ray g Charlie
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: Brown and all them guys, you know what I mean
• 26:27

• 33:00
  Speaker 8: my lady, Like I really just go to the bar,
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: like because in Atlanta, you just gotta beat.
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: You just gotta do so much.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: And if you don't do it, if I don't have
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: a section, if I go to a regular right, give
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: me anything. I go to Rose Bar and I'm at
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: the bar, nigga walking and be like dreaming at the bar,
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: fell off. I just want to get a dream a point,
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: nigga taking pictures of you, posting you in the group chats.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: I done got another people like you don't at the
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: bar dream I'm chilling, nigga.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: But listen that that that matters to a point. It
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: depends on your audience and your demo. You did what
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, like events that I do now, Like, Bro,
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: you was there. You was there when we was going
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: through the gauntlet of we gotta be in somebody club
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: on the microphone for five days out the week. We've
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: grown and matured out of that space. We still operate
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: within the night life space. I like to say entertainment,
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: but like that shit matters to a certain audience of people.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: When I go and do events, I'm in a three
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: p suit right for sure, it's sections in here. But
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: don't nobody give a fuck about you sitting down there
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: the show at the table. You know where they're gonna go.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: They're gonna go to the bar, because at a certain
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: age they're gonna look and say, like, why the hell
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: am I spending five hundred dollars on the bottle that
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: I would pay fifty bucks for out of clips and
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: have people at my house entertainment And I have and
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: entertain them, and I have more fun doing that for sure.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Like my people's like, we have more fun being at
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: my crib. Oh, one hundred dollars on groceries, one hundred
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: dollars on bottles. We don't have a time. Even though
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: I'm still in this industry, I still understood like I
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: had to mature out of that. You know what I'm saying, Like,
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: I don't really have the crowd of people that care
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: about spending two thousand dollars on the table. But guess
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: what they're gonna do. They're gonna spend a couple hundred
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: dollars on a suit. We gonna spend a couple hundred
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: dollars on a gown. Go get hurt, hair done, nails done.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: You dig what I'm saying. Go buy one hundred dollar
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: ticket to come to this event because it's more quality.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: And the people that are there, they don't care about
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: standing on couches. And I do miss that error. We
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: made a ton of money doing this shit, but I'm
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: not gonna be fifty years old standing on the couch.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: You dig what I'm saying. So I think it to
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: your point, it depends on the audience and the demographic
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: of people that you're catering to. You know, in twenty
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: twenty five, shit is different.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: Question to all you guys here, what is the evolution
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: that you see yourself ten years from now? And what
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: should like someone in the night life that you guys,
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: that the seats that you guys hold. What's just someone say, Okay,
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna start here.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: But I want to end up here?
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Like what's that?
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: What does that look like?
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: Because before us, I don't know if there was every
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: job descriptions of what we did before I know it
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: was never one of creating this shit.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: We've been creating it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: So what's the what's the like the down the line
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: playing I feel like you kind of already in it. Yeah,
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: for sure, you guys are all in it, but I want.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: You to say it.
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: I think that that's I think that I never wanted
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: to be a club owner. I wanted to be I
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: wanted to have a franchise of restaurants, you know what
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: I mean, Like that's my end goal to have a
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: franchise of restaurants. I sleep at night and I say
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: I want to have fifty restaurants, but I'm cool with ten, you.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: Know what I mean?
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: So if I could open up moving forward a restaurant
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: a year for the next ten years, Like, that's my goal,
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So I put a lot
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: of time into my food. Like dreams, ATL is a
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: restaurant slash lounge, just not a nightclub, and people think
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: it's a nightclub. Where I put a lot of time
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: into food. I traveled to New York, I traveled to Vaga,
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: I traveled to Miami. I flew chefs from all different
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: kinds of places to create my menu, to create my recipes,
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: to buy and own my recipe. So reality, so who's
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: cooking my food? It'll be the same every time, you
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: know what I mean, because I owned the recipe. So
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: for me, it's being one of the biggest black owned
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: restaurant franchises in the world in two years. So that's
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: that's my goal. The nightlight club crap, it's like I
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: don't even care about it, you know. I tell people
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: the time, all they gonna do is come in here,
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: jump on my shit, fuck it up, and leave.
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: Like that's all they gonna do. Bro, You know what
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: I spent a lot of money into it. So when
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: I've I bring artists and celebrity and friends. I pushed
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: the food people coming back, let me get some honey
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: out wings and fog. I don't sell wings. I got lobster,
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: I got I got red snapped of, head on, head off.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: I got collagraogs, macao and cheese, candy aams.
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean.
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: I have versus my dishes, and my menu is very versatile,
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: so I can care to say anyone that comes into
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: my establishment.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: I think we started thinking about that question maybe ten
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: years ago. You know what I'm saying. For me personally,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: you know, I had the mindset of, man, I want
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: to get into the restaurant space right primarily because it
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: seemed like a similar pivot to what we were already
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: doing with nightclubs and lounges. But on the flip side
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: of that, like we spoke on earlier, when the liquor
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: branding opportunities came about, it gave you know, a different
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: from type of light bulb went off. So now it's
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: about branding, producing production to an extent, you know what
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. And so I think with the experience that
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: we had and being in night life, we saw things
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: that other people didn't see and different you know, what
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, like genres of work or entertainment. You get
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: every type of person that comes into the club, whether
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: it's a doctor, lawyer, politician, your maya's you know what
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. Crities, celebrities, dope boys and all that, and
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: all these people come from, you know, different walks to
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: life in different careers and so like for me, it
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: was like, Yo, how many relationships can I build and
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: can I have in this? I foresee myself being in
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: politics right maybe five years down the line, you know
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: And it's not I can see I can see you.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not the pivot that you would think. Right.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: So when shout out to the Book Bank Foundation, our nonprofit,
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: when we started doing community cleanups, we would always have
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: these big turnouts. And one of my mentors, doctor Glenn Tolb,
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: he was like, why you get all these people? I say, Bro,
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: I pull them out the club.
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: Like that.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: If I can stand on the couch with you, if
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: you can call me every year for your birthday or
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: when this artist or this manager can blow my phone
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: about the mixtape release or album release, why can I
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: get these same people to come and get back to
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: their community by way of service, you know what I'm saying.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: And so once we started seeing that, even when I
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: did Love and Hip Hop, my first episode, we was
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: off your fave cleaning up the neighborhood, you know what
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, feeding the homeless. But you know they didn't
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: want no cap on that, Like that wasn't made for TV. Shit,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: that was real life. And so the pivots from nightlife,
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: for me, they're endless. It's just about what is your focus?
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Who are you meeting while you're doing this? And you
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Like I look at y'all on radio,
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: and most people might think, oh, yeah, we if you
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: do the club, you do reader, but not necessarily. You've
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: done television, you know what I'm saying. Like you've done production,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. And so it's like ten
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: years from now when you're doing movies or scoring movies
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: and you know, you got your whole entertainment network. Yeah,
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: we might have started in the club, but we pivoted
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: to other things, you know what I'm saying. So for me,
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: like that's how I look at it, and that's the
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: It's like, this shit is not a one trick pony.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: Regardless of how people think of us as promoters, curators
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: or whatever. It's like this shit is endless with us
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: and I love it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Facts.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: Tenure goal for me is actually like reel in your face, Bro,
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: I want to run my own ticketing platform. And it's
• 40:16
  Speaker 9: for like if you really think about like data, Bro,
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: data is endless.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: That is what you pay for.
• 40:21
  Speaker 9: Ads of what you pay for, whether it's TV ads
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: or Facebook ads anything, Your biggest people that you're gonna like,
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: those are people that could. That's the foundation of things
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: that are never going nowhere. So ticket masks and stuff
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: like event bright Bro, go to check out. When you
• 40:35
  Speaker 9: check out, whatever the price was, you're gonna add your
• 40:38
  Speaker 9: tax on it. Then people adding the tax that's who eat.
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: So right now what I've been doing like no matter
• 40:43
  Speaker 9: how it plays out of whether it be packing the
• 40:46
  Speaker 9: parties of club. That's why I build off the masks
• 40:47
  Speaker 9: because it's data, Like Bro, I got two hundred thousand
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: phone numbers, no matter who it is, it's somebody's number.
• 40:53
  Speaker 9: If we're collecting off right in through the lines, even
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: down to the logo, you don't peep it's a ticket.
• 40:58
  Speaker 9: That's why it's clean That's why I clean crowded functions
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: ticket Bro, because event it's gonna be a ticketing platform.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: That's the reason this.
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: But it's friendly whitewashes hell, we want, we won't want
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: scare nobody what I'm looking for, you know what I'm saying.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: So that's what I want to do, Bro, end of
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: the day, it's gonna be data and analytics.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: Like I throw this too, sitting that the thing that
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: I admired about him was like our eras might have
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: been a little bit different, but when I started seeing
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: the transition of like what he was doing, when you
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: started popping your shit a little bit, and its event
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: bright numbers right, Like I've done concerts, I've done festivals
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: and understanding like everybody always talking about live Nation. But
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: that's that's the that's the real big win, you know
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So when I started seeing what Bro
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: was doing, I'm like, damn, that shit was inspiring like
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: a motherfucker, you know what I'm saying, Because you're seeing
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: the growth from it. Like it's not like I want
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: to put a couple of hundred people, you know, in
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: a nightclub. No, I want to go fill up an arena.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. So now you're not looking
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: at me as the promoter, like, no, I'm a real business,
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: legitimate business that can not only do this ship in Atlanta,
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: not in Houston. We can go do this ship in Ghana, Nigeria.
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: I got that data.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Bro we're looking at.
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: We talked of his name that came a couple of
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: times a bro, all due respect, you're looking at a

  Speaker 3: It right now.
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: You over here, like, bro, you gotta have an insight.
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: I want to I want to say this right.
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: I watched one of the interviews I did with dealing
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: with the promoters and the owners and the DJs, and
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: I've seen the guys get up here and say things
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: like the game ain't the same, it's trash now promoters,
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: I don't know who they were, I don't.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Know you're talking about.
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: This was biddy night, was.
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: The night like down this trash it ain't the same.
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: Need to go back to this, need to go back
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: to that, need to go back to this. My thing
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: is y'all old niggas. Is the niggas that really slick
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: allowed the game to change. You get what I'm saying,
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: Like y'all seen something, y'all seen a gold mine. Y'all
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: seen this section and no more dance floors, and y'all
• 44:07
  Speaker 8: allowed it to happen and groom people like myself. Now myself,
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: I'm a section seller.
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: That's my following. I don't have a large general population people.
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: You know, a lot of people know me, but I
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: could sell twenty tables by myself anywhere from five hundred
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: to five thousand, like That's what I'm great at doing.
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: But if you ask me to bring people to the bar,
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: I can't do that. But I'm a great businessman, So
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: I'll hire somebody like my brother north side Bama that
• 44:31
  Speaker 8: could bring two three hundred people.
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: To the bar. Now now we're rocking, You know what
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: I'm saying.
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna sell all the table Bama gonna being to
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: people and we gotta sold out night we get into
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: the bad. But like how y'all old niggas gonna say
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: the parties is when y'all the one that showed us
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: the game, y'all allowed the game to transition. Y'all didn't
• 44:46
  Speaker 8: tell us like, oh, y'all shouldn't do this, you should
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: balance it out or do this or do that. Like
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: I didn't understand the where they were coming from was
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: saying that our parties now and this generation is trash
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: and it needs to get back to this.
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: But y'all allow to get to this.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna give my two cents because my brother went
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: in the old niggas you're talking about.
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, respect statement, because I understand.
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: That also from an era that you're not from.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: So they see ship differently, you know what I mean.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: So like you got a couple of you got a
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: couple of like Catt that was like either even when
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: we were young, we were still with the ogs of
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: this industry, if you want to call it that. So
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: I understand, like you know what I'm saying, both sides
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: of the game, because the ship is different. I always
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: tell people like Yo, if you partied in the late nineties,
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: early two thousand to the teens, you don't have the
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: same experiences in mindsets as the the Yian's. That's that's
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: partying that I don't even socialize the same. But when
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: we came up, like we had AOL America online, do
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like ship was dolling up.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: So if you was out having motion and doing events,
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: but you had to hand the hand with with flyers
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: and go get a number, like you had to know
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: how to go bag a chicken, get a phone number,
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: and may come want to come to the shit that
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: you was doing. So now they don't really have that,
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: you see what I'm saying. So it's like it's just
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: a different time as far as like people wanting to
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: go out and vibe the kicking. Now you do have
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: some older cast. They are outdated in the mindset in
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: which they think. But you're still in the same line
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: the work. You haven't elevated beyond nineteen ninety nine. And
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, two thousand and three of
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: them were partying, So with that I agree with. However,
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: they come from an error where party was different and
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: this nostalgic. Why do you think everybody does R and
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: B parties because people want to it's nostalgic. They want
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: to remake the nineties era, the early two thousands era.
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: When I come to your shit on Wednesdays. Right, y'all
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: might play some new music, but the crowd get moving
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: when Jodason come on, when Johnny Gill come on.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: You get what I'm saying.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: So, ladies of R and B, R and B, you
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: know what I said, Shout out to the Cocks next Masterday,
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: Bluetooth that nostalgic field.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: I always tell people, you're gonna be older way longer
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: than you're gonna be younger. Hell, so some of that
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: ship is gonna always stick around and stay around the
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: songs out here. Now, Bro, we're not gonna give a
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: damn about that ship in five years. It's not gonna stick.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: And the people that's listen to it now, guess what
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: they're gonna become. They're gonna become the old heads. You
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: know what they're gonna tell you.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: I remember were listening.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Just keep waking up, wake it up.
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: I gotta crazy.
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: I just gotta just gotta realize they're getting older. And okay,
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. The party is not the
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: same as its cap like, Bro, they're still outside. Just
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: like you said, your mindset don't want to be with them.
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: They don't want to subsize bro the era even I like,
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: I'm not your I think I'm around your age. But Bro,
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: these young niggas is out here in ski mask thinking
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: it's cool and not ever breaking walking up on me
• 47:53
  Speaker 9: like that, look at you. We don't do that like
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: so it's like, bro, just be your k and being
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: older like bro, the people still outside.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, old versus young.
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: I think me and you was talking.
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: I'm like.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: Mine.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: With our culture we put and there's no knock on you.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: But I don't understand why our culture we put a
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: knock on getting old, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: when you think of just musically, right, when you think
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: of these old rock bands, Ruth Springsteink can come out
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: tomorrow and gonna sell this bitch out if he gonna
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: do it right. But if I come out and say
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: I want to do a worldwide tour like man, yeah,
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: why don't. Why don't we give the flowers to all?
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: It's starting to happen, you know what I'm saying. Like
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, I'm sure Nelly was doing
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: what he was doing, But now Nelly can still go
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: pack on and sell out of arena because we're starting
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: to get there, but it's like, but.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Keep it in mind, Nelly. Nelly is also country to
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: so Nelly is kind of like, you know what I'm saying.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: Nelly is like an alien, just like Ludacris.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: A little bit. But everything coming back right now, everything.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: It never went nowheret yes, Yes, if Rolling Stones dropped
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: some ship, I don't even know if they still live,
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: but if I hope there is. But if Rolling Stone
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: dropped some ship, they gonna sell some ship out.
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: Look at our legacy artists now think about Geezy, Gucci
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: Man them, niggas.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: Is still it's the way we treat But at the time.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: People was acting like they was washed up because they
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: got older. Everybody ain't gonna die young, bro, But.
• 49:24
  Speaker 9: It's the mindset of us though. It's like it's the
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: same thing in the club. You don't got a section,
• 49:28
  Speaker 9: not even think he fell off or it's dirt. It's
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: a dirt liver like get out the club. But you're
• 49:32
  Speaker 9: touching thirty. It's like Nigga thirty is when niggas really touching.

• 49:43
  Speaker 5: in reference to the why he is that's in the club.
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get the hell on.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: I don't want to party with him. I can't relate
• 49:50
